Chapter 406 The Destruction of the Golden Hands (2/2)

Suddenly, he stopped. At the entrance of the stairwell, a huge, black figure was barring his way.

”Found you,” growled Dumby. It was holding a bloody bone sword in its right hand with its blade facing backward. It lightly caressed the wall with its left hand. In an instant, the wall collapsed, filling the air with dust and smoke.

...

The air rippled before the Desolate Frost Lion, who simply yawned and conjured an ice prison over the disturbance.

When the red-robed apostle opened his eyes, he found himself trapped inside the ice prison. The look of relief on his face disappeared almost as soon as it had appeared.

Gao Peng beamed at him. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

The red-robed apostle had obtained this fail-safe ability when the Saprophytic Earth Dragon reached Lord-tier. With this ability, he could teleport himself to the side of his strongest familiar before an enemy could inflict fatal damage upon him.

The range of this ability was limited by his spiritual strength. However, its minimum range was at least a few hundred miles.

The red-robed apostle despondently sat down on the ground in his ice prison. He had lost all will to fight.

Half an hour later, Dumby came back with a ragged golden rug in one hand and a man completely covered in his own blood in the other.

”Master, I've captured the guy who tried to escape. This is his familiar.” Dumby casually threw the golden-robed apostle to the ground. He was still holding the golden rug in his hand.

Despair crept into the red-robed apostle's heart when he saw the golden-robed apostle lying unconscious on the ground. Guess he didn't make it out of there in time, he thought.

He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness wash over him at the sight of his former compatriot's unconscious form.

”I hear there are four apostles in the Golden Hands. I only see two here,” said Gao Peng, frowning. Did the other two escape? ”Where are the others?” Gao Peng asked the red-robed apostle.

”They're no longer here,” replied the red-robed apostle with a sigh. ”The other two were killed by him.”

His eyes were fixated on the golden-robed apostle lying on the ground. Who knew the Golden Hands would end up this way just because of one person?

A troubled look floated across the red-robed apostle's face. He looked as if he was about to say something, but then he bit his lip and decided against it.

He leaned back on the wall of his ice prison without saying another word.

The cries of anguish from the streets began to die down. The White Steel Bladed Beast had made quick work of most of the enemy familiars, the strongest among them being Commander-tier. Even the Lord-tier Silver-Winged Mirage Butterfly stood no chance against it.

”I can't believe the Golden Hands' headquarters was decimated just like that.” The Jinsha region's Alliance government was now in a furor. Everyone had been watching what was happening there through the government's satellite feed. Even though none of them were directly participating in the ongoing battle, they had been paying close attention to it.

The walking skeleton's mass resurrection ability and the tiny, white-colored creature who was able to take out the Silver-Winged Mirage Butterfly in an instant were nothing short of extraordinary.

On the other hand, even though Flamy and the Desolate Frost Lion hadn't done too bad themselves, they didn't stand out that much on the battlefield and so didn't receive as much attention from anyone in the Alliance government.

”Incredible, the Golden Hands group was wiped out just like that,” muttered a lady in a yellow uniform. She was looking at Gao Peng on the screen with her arms folded across her chest. The look on her face was one of awe and respect for Gao Peng's strength as a monster trainer.

”This Gao Peng has at least five Lord-tier familiars with him!” said a general in the room solemnly.

Silence instantly fell over the room.
