290 The Beginning of the End, Part 1 (1/2)

Chaos. Bloodshed.

For the first time during a town siege, some people actually died from Black Haven.

Adrian hurriedly rolled to the side and only stopped when he felt it was safe. He slowly stood up and assessed his surrounding.

A quarter of the Scavenger unit has died. Everywhere he looked, there were dismembered bodies. The area had holes in the ground as if a cannon struck the place.

”Everyone who can still move, help bring the injured back to the town. Those who are still conscious, teleport at the same time, and hurry to the doctor's clinic!”

Scavengers who were severely injured were barely hanging by a thread. Some were even unconscious and might die any time when their Health bleeds out.

With this incident, people will learn about group teleports. Survivors who tearfully teleported back with their loved ones in their arms noticed that they arrived at the same position at the town plaza, instead of having some space apart.

As long as a small group of people was in physical contact with each other, they can teleport back to the town at the same time. The only catch was that they have to activate the teleport runes at the same time.

This discovery can be considered worthless or an exceptional idea depending on a group's motive.

Only the lead activator could decide where the group would teleport. That means this discovery could be used as an invasion tool for raiding a Tamed town.

Teleporting to a Tamed Portal needs a one-time physical interaction with the portal. If ten people received the portal rune, they could bring ten people each, and perform a surprise raid with one-hundred people.

What about if a hundred people had received the portal rune? A thousand?

People with evil intentions could visit you at night and you'll be dead before you could even scream.

Adrian watched the continuous stream of disappearing people. He waited for everyone to get out of the area before raising his MSSR.

The Destroyer has fully regenerated. It doesn't need to block its stomach since there was no hole anymore.

Edward and Jun could barely injure the Destroyer. After experiencing the first combination attack of the group, the Destroyer gave its all to defend. Its muscle tensed as energy healed every small stab that appears.

The group took advantage of the Destroyer's weakness. The slow movement speed and attack speed.

Edward and Jun circled around every time they attacked. This caused the enemy to respond and rotate slowly.

Jun focused on the kneepits. It was the closest weak point that he could attack, while Edward used energy spikes to pierce the armpits. They were trying to do it fast enough, but the recovery speed was still faster than the rate they can deal damage.

Aura was created by scattering small bits of energy in the surrounding. With Sheila's energy forming a small circle with her as the center, she could instantaneously activate a skill.

Normally, she needs to touch the individual to heal them. It was due to the transfer of healing energy into the person's body. With the aura helping to scatter the energy, Sheila doesn't need to get close before she could activate her skills.

A minute passed.

Everyone from Black Haven has already eaten energy fruits twice. The Destroyer could see the humans in front getting reinvigorated after eating those green fruits, but it couldn't do anything about it.

”This feels like a boss monster! An extremely grindy one! Even so, this lord will triumph over this difficulty and become much stronger! Spinning Energy Stab!” Edward talked nonsense with a smile. He believes that spouting rubbish could sometimes increase the damage dealt by an ability.

In a sense, it was true for him. His abilities were directly controlled by his energy. Any form of motivation or imagination could increase his power output. If he believes that his skills were strong, then they would be strong. If the thinks that they don't deal much damage, then it would do so. It was a hidden trait of the Pioneer title affecting his skills, due to the freedom in control he has over energy.

After hearing his remark, everyone calmed down and treated the battle more calmly. Repeated actions, leads to a repeated response.

Every time the Destroyer raises its hand, they would watch its trajectory before dealing some damage. Afterward, they would dodge the attack and continue hitting the target.

Even though they couldn't see the damage, they knew they were slowly whittling down the enemy. If its Health wasn't receiving damage, its energy would.

At this moment, everyone felt complacent. The Destroyer raised two arms in the air, which is a new attack pattern, but no one paid attention to it and continued attacking.
