Chapter 255: Huntings Time - Part 1 (1/2)
Quora, an Emerald Rank Party who took the quest [Capture the Evils] was hiding in the distance. Aren, the party leader who was also Emerald Rank Adventurer, was holding something similar to a telescope but it was made of glass. He was monitoring Tang Shaoyang who just stood up on the thick branch.
”Have you checked the surroundings? Did you find his party members anywhere?” Aren was asking his party members who were on standby behind him.
”I have checked the surrounding area with [Greater Sight] but can't find anyone around,” Coral, the archer of the party reported. He was a Platinum Rank Adventurer, taking the quest in hoping to get the Greater Blessing. With Greater Blessing, advancing to Emerald or even Sky-Emerald was no longer a pipe of a dream.
”My [Mana Sensing] also does not detect anyone aside from the other adventurers in the radius a thousand meters area,” Karen, the mage in yellow robe reported her useless discovery. She was also a Platinum Rank Adventurer and harbored the same thought as Coral did. Not only two of them, everyone did.
”I have checked the five thousand meters area, and the same, could not find his party member too,” Dan, the Assassin of the party, followed up with his report. He was the second Emerald Rank in the party.
”There are no traps either, the area is safe from traps,” the Master Scout, Poli followed up with his report. Yet another Platinum Rank Adventurer in the party.
”Is he an idiot or is he just too confident? I can't tell, he reveals his location but he is alone and does not prepare anything for the potential attack. He does not try to hide his location too,” Gulian, Protector was his class, the second advancement for the Shield Bearer. He was the frontline of the party and also the Platinum Rank Adventurer.
”I bet that's the latter, he could take hundreds of Royal Knight and Guardian Knight combined, you should not underestimate him, Gulian,” Adrian, the Battle Berserker of the party commented. He was the third Emerald Rank Adventurer of the Quora Party.
The last member was a Cleric, but she was just a Gold Rank Adventurer. Aren decided to not bring the precious healer of his party, just in case the quest turned out to be a disaster.
”Mnn, Adrian is right. We can't underestimate him just because he's alone. Moreover, I heard a rumor that he managed to kill a Templar Knight Henry and also Grand Royal Knight Turi. For the time being, we will observe the situation from afar, if the situation allows, we will join the fight and capture him. That's the plan!” Aren, the Great Swordsman told his plan to his party member with a smile. He was trying to take advantage of the other parties' impatience to measure how strong the target was.
”What if the other party captures him first?” Karen said in a concerned tone, but the Battle Berserker Adrian grinned at Karen, ”We then seize the target from them, that's the plan right?” Aren nodded his head in return.
”Two Platinum Rank Parties are approaching the target!” Coral saw the two parties were approaching Tang Shaoyang with his [Greater Sight].
Everyone immediately looked toward the direction. Just like Coral said, two groups were approaching the target. One group came from the north while the other group came from the west.
The group from the north was composed of ten adventurers while the group from the west was composed of nine adventures. Aren then used his Magnifying Glass to monitor Tang Shaoyang.
There was something that bothered him about the target. From the description, Tang Should be a man with blue hair and also blue eyes, if not for the drawing in his hand, he might mistake the black-haired Tang Shaoyang for someone else.
While his thoughts on something else, he noticed Tang leaped toward the north direction. Even though the two parties moved secretly, the target easily found them. Through the Magnifying Glass, he followed Tang Shaoyang's movement.
It was just a normal leap, but he noticed a big change of appearance on Tang Shaoyang in midair. His air suddenly turned as lightning surged up from his heels. It was more like he transformed and this kind of appearance was what he knew about the target.
While the other parties were observing Tang Shaoyang, he made his move. He had located all the guests, it was time to hunt them down.
—Why do you always integrate with Lightning Bitch?
Karan's voice filled with jealousy rang in his head while coming down from the tree. Zowen was laughing in response, mocking the orc.
—Not only you are horny, but also dumb. He has tasted the power of magic, do you think he will use your power?
”Don't listen to her, Karan. I am integrating with her because these people only know me as a mage. My integration with you will be my secret weapon to fight them!” Tang Shaoyang explained. Right after he finished his words, he landed right in front of the group who tried to sneak up.
His sudden appearance shocked the group, and he used this chance to cast [Lightning Chain]. He extended his palm and lightning shot toward the Heavy Warrior in the front before a chain reaction was created as the lightning continued to strike the people behind the Heavy Warrior. The [Lightning Chain] stunned the ten adventurers.
