Chapter 139: Flesh-Eating plant (1/2)

Three blackbirds appeared in front of Harou and the others. At first, while they were rushing towards this area, he was doubtful of the scout's report. But when they arrived, they were greeted by a deserted place.

And evidence of battle was visible around the place.

Then they heard a loud collapsing noise in this area not long ago. They suddenly rushed here and this what greeted them.

Harou wanted to laugh. Looks like, coming here was a good choice. Not only did they avoid clashing with multiple monsters, but they also were able to meet the summoner that the scout mentioned. Looks like this person wasn't that great, to begin with.

Harou nodded with a smile.

”Do you think you can fool me?” Harou suddenly said.

”Hehehe, this Crimson might be looking down on you, Yount Sir…” Mus added.

Cinder and the others stared dagger at him. 'What a shameless bastard!' They thought.

”Why not let one of your people fly it?” Crimson replied. He knew what this person meant about it. He might be thinking that he was controlling these birds. Well, he could. But he had no intention of doing so. It's up to them if they take it or not. Regardless, they didn't have a choice.

Harou slightly narrowed his eyes. But the person in front of him was right. He then called one of his men.

”.....”

With a skeptical face, his men tried to fly it slowly. Yman told them that it could be piloted the same as the Transport bird.

Harou asked him what kind of Spirit beast were those birds. They have unnatural colors. But Crimson had no intention of answering his question.

Cinder and the others were doubtful of Crimson's action. They did not expect that he would give in just because the enemies were higher in number.

However, they started to think that maybe they were overestimating him. His exhaustion at the moment was even visible to all of them. Also, fighting an opponent that was capable of thinking than killing those brainless monsters was just too big of a difference. Looks like they were the one who was overestimating themselves after they successfully wiped out the monsters in this area. These people who were surrounding them were all in the False Path level. If one thought logically, there was no chance of them winning.

They finally understood why Crimson did that.

After testing the birds, Crimson and the others were still not able to escape. Harou seemed to be a cautious person. They brought them with them to the other side of the broken bridge.

Not just that, they were tied. They noticed Mus secretly whispering to Harou about something.

Crimson and the others were surprised when everyone was staring at them with malicious intent.

The moment they landed on the other side, Yman and the others were pushed to the ridge.

”Bastard! What are you planning?!” Ember gnashed.

”Kuku, sorry Ember, but you won't advance to the next round. Tell me later how it felt to die in a fall! Hahaha!”

”Tsk!” Cinder clicked her tongue and anxiously glanced at Crimson. But she noticed him with a frown and baffled face. Looks like even Crimson did not expect this to happen.

”HAROOOUUU YOU BASTARD!!!” Ember roared.

However, (Thump, thump, thump…)!

Everyone was kicked and fell.

”NOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!” They shouted.

Hehehehehehe!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Mus and the others laughed at the group of Crimson.

”That's what they get for destroying the bridge and tricking us all!” Shout Mus. ”Let's go!” Everyone excitedly followed at the group of Harou. Finally, they have a bigger chance of getting additional rewards from the Empress.

Yman and the others were falling fast but the ridge seemed to be so deep as they could not see the deepest part of it.

Everyone had ashen faces as they resigned to their fate. Looks like in the end, they were still defeated.

What a turn of events.

Empress and Ella at the palace balcony were sighing heavily. Looks like luck wasn't on that person's side.

”Well, even in the real world, traitors are everywhere…” muttered the empress. ”You can't just trust anyone…” she added.

Ella remained quiet. ”She understood her aunt's words.”

In the end, that person was defeated by a little trick.

The audiences have different reactions to what happened. Especially those who wish to change their bets to 'The Mysterious' a moment ago. At the moment they were thinking that 'good thing the betting was already close when they were about to change their favored participants.'

The old noble and the others who bet on him just sighed. There's nothing they could do. It was bad luck

that there's some traitor in the group.

Even Almina and the others did not expect this result.

The legendary welcoming squad had already readied themselves for the grand welcome for those people.

They saw in the monitor thesix people. Deliberately, their silhouettes were eaten by darkness. And their unwilling yell echoed from the distance. Until they were wholly gone from the sights of all. They could lament later like most of the dead participants. Everyone was already expecting that they would revive sooner outside the painting.

A couple of hours ago, those in the north and east successfully reunited and joined forces.
