Chapter 113 - Crossing The Endless Mist (III) (2/2)

He knew that as soon as the eye attacked them or ambush them from the the front, the other spies that were mix with the other warriors that were following them closely in the back would take the opportunity to surprise attack them in the back as well, attacking them in both front and back at the same time. Even if they had defeated them that way, they would have lost a lot of imperial soldiers which wouldn't be a good thing for them.

They couldn't afford to lose a lot of soldiers even before entering the Tower because that's where the real fight will be.

As such, before they left for the endless mist, Klaus had made Florence used her ability to create a duplicate of Andre, Baal, Anderson, and Drake. Their duplicates were so lifelike that it was almost impossible to tell the difference unless one use their spiritual force to sense them. Florence was a void of mage and her ability allows her to clone herself or to create a duplicate of anyone she has been in contact with.

Furthermore, if by any chance she had a drop of that person's blood in her possession, she could use it to duplicate that person with his existing ability and portion of his strength. Even though that clone or duplicate could only last for a certain time, it was still a frightening ability which made her the most feared of the 7 Novas even though she wasn't physically strong as the others.

Which means, all along, only Shad, Klaus, and Florence was in the frontline while other novas were dressed as imperial soldiers were waiting for the perfect opportunity to snuff out and get rid of the spies sent by the Eye who was in the midst of the other vagrant warriors and mages in the back.

The back of their army was already the weakest part of the group because all of the high-level warriors and mages were in the frontline along with the Novas. The spies sent by the Eye would have never guessed that there were four powerful Novas along with many mid-level warriors and some high-level warriors waiting for them to make their move in the back.

” It seemed like the others are having fun in the back,” Shad softly said with a slight smile on his face when he heard a big explosion and the shrill cries of the spies in the back.

” Klaus those bastards are retreating within the endless mist, shouldn't we follow them?.” Shouted Florence as she was looking at the attackers that were retreating under the rain of arrows.

” No, don't chase them. We still don't know how the situation is in the back so we can't afford to send people after them. Not to mention it's very easy to get lost within that mist. There might even a more of them waiting for us. This was just their first wave of attack.” Klaus had no intention of sending troops after them even though they were on the defensive and were running away. Also, this might even be one of their ruse to lure them to separate their troops and sent people after them so they could kill them one by one within the mist.

Plus, even though they were winning now, Klaus knew the Eye still has the advantage. Not only they've already entered the Tower. They've probably left thousands of people waiting for them at the entrance.

” Just take a break Florence and replenish your energy, I will need you to use your ability again,” Klaus said as he was looking at the pale face of Florence.

After using her ability to produce four duplicates and controlled them at the same time with her spiritual force along the journey, Florence was both mentally and physically exhausted. Creating a clone of herself took less amount of energy than the duplicate of another person. Not the mention, she had to use a huge amount of mana to create them and also her spiritual force to control them which required a lot of focus and concentration.

” You guys can stay here, I am going to take care of them,” Shad said as he turned into a red streak of light and suddenly disappeared from his initial position.
