Chapter 344: Higher World Denizens (1) (2/2)

Although that's an undeniable show of extreme confidence, most of the people here are Rank 2 Transcendent. There's a gap in our UPL true but it's not like it will be easy to take down all 20 of us with just the three of them.

What we have to do here is to carefully gauge these three's prowess.

Having thought of these, I sent Monady all my speculations through a telepathic message. Although she didn't look back at me, the simple jolt of her body was enough to know that she received it.

”According to the data I gathered, if this team is the same team who wiped out five of the Gigantian. There should be six of them and not five. Another one is beyond this darkness together with the fifth one.” The man in glasses stated before fixing his glasses like what an anime character will do. Their conversation was completely ignored by him.

Upon hearing the man in glasses' words, Irja turned her head to me. Perhaps she thought it's a shame that I was detected this early but I expected this development. These enemies were not stupid. They're watching earlier and they surely deduced that the ambushed one was a scout and we six only came in to rescue him.

”Contact Grenol and the others, these three aren't normal Gigant World denizens and we need back-up or we have to retreat. They're possibly a denizen of a higher world and I'm afraid we're not a match against these three even with my skills.” Since she's already looking at me, I also sent a telepathic message to her along with all the speculations I passed to Monady.

Irja looked at me for a while before nodding. She took out a crystal and immediately reported the situation to Grenol.

After that, I consulted the map again to see the position of the other scouts. One of the scouts that should've been looking out for enemies was behind them. No, he's in the direction they came from.

However, he's currently stationary as if he's afraid of moving from where he was.

He's not captured. Otherwise, his captors would've shown on the map. It's hard to verify his status so I had Irja contact him as well but he's not answering.

Furthermore, these three didn't appear in that guy's 100-meter range despite coming in from that direction...

Are they capable of invisibility? No. They could've ambushed Monady and the others with it if that's the case.

”Rowena, if they're behind them, the two are either experts at long-range battle or a support. Take them down.” The man in glasses continued. He's still calmly standing from where he was without any change in his expression.

”I don't take orders from you Yordi,” the blonde woman remarked.

However contrary to her words, she instantly vanished from her spot and reappeared 50 meters forward. The yellowish aura grew in intensity which blinded Monady and Udann who was about to block them. Although it only blinded them, the tall guy called Larnel sent two more finger attacks aimed at the two which made them stop to dodge it.

Seeing the approaching enemy, Irja at my side put back the crystal in her hand after reporting to Grenol and once again wielded her broom-like Output Enhancing Equipment.

She waved it in front of her and colorful spheres of energy were simultaneously produced which instantly shot off towards Rowena.

Likewise, I opened Bedeviled Outburst and produced Energy Explosion Projectiles which melded with Irja's attacks mid-air.

”I see. Two long-range combatants.” Concluding her observation like that, Rowena's yellowish aura expanded before she seemingly disappeared again, dodging all of our attacks aimed at her.

”Irja! jump here!” Sensing where she would appear, I shouted towards the girl, I extended my arm and made a grabbing motion, using my Energy Manipulation to somehow emulate Telekinesis by controlling the energy around her to push her to my arms.

Thanks to my Adaptability, I instantly sensed her through the disturbance of energy particles around us.

As soon as I caught Irja, I tightened my hold on her before instacasting one of the variations of Flash Steps to propel us backward.

At the same time as that happened, the blonde tall woman reappeared in the air above Irja's previous spot and kicked down furiously.

CRACK! BOOM!

With Irja disappearing from that spot, her foot hit the ground which instantly created a resounding explosion, debris and dust particles flying all around.

From how strong her kick was, even the spot I was in previously was engulfed by it.

When the dust settled, the woman had a look of disappointment on her face as she stared at the crater she made from her simple kick.

”You. How did you notice?” Slowly, Rowena lifted her head and stared straight at me.

”Lucky guess? Where else will you reappear if not around us?”

As if I will tell her. And although I answered her, I continued to pull away from her that I had no time to check about the woman in my arms.

Luckily, Irja's build was geared towards smaller women which made it enough for me to hold her in one of my arms.
