The intense light made the men cover their eyes.
Guan Dongyang estimated that there were about two hundred of them. He reckoned that if all of these men rushed into the camp at the same time, they were bound to wreak havoc. Perhaps, Guan Dongyang thought, House Lie was not as influential as he had felt to deter dangers.
”Good evening everyone. Your enthusiasm deeply touches me in coming to bid me farewell.” Guan Dongyang spoke with his soul energy, sending the message directly into the ears of the intruders.
The booming voice in their heads, combined with the intense blinding light, stunned the intruders.
No one knew what was going on. Was it a mastery spell? God knows!
”KOM!”
A blaring explosion erupted in the distance, sending a plume of yellow smoke billowing up to the night sky. ”I am cultivating a new mastery. It has been... unstable. Please watch out where you step, my friends.”
The intruders looked to the directions of the explosion and found out that half of a hilltop was shaved clean off, leaving an ugly scar that bubbled smoke.
Suddenly, the light disappeared, and the sudden darkness blinded and disoriented the intruders for the second time. Even after the intruders finally regained their visual senses, no one dared make a move closer to the camp.
After some time, these men turned their heels and slid into the darkness, running where they came from.
Seeing the enemies retreat, a swell of cheers rose in the Battle Wolf camp. They had won a battle without firing a shot.
Driven by greed, the raiders came to the camp, but were terrified of Guan Dongyang's power. They feared that if they aggravated Guan Dongyang, he would rain death on them while his Mastery trickery blinded them. Between the loot and their life, they would choose the latter on any given day.
Wang Tong knew that these raiders, consumed by their greed, were not vile men before the war broke out. Therefore, there was no sense in harming their lives unnecessarily.
Nonetheless, the incidence exposed the human world's desperate need for unity.
Having learned their lessons, the battle wolf didn't let their guard down after the raiders retreated.
They rode out again at the break of dawn. On their way, House Lie seemed to have changed their opinion toward Guan Dongyang after last night's complications. Not only did Lie Wushuang initiate conversation with Guan Dongyang, which he had never done before, but his tone was no longer laced with condescension. Guan Dongyang's performance had caught them off guard. Lie Wushuang was convinced that Guan Dongyang was very close to the legendary level. Seeing how strong the leader of the Battle Wolf had gotten, Lie Wushuang felt that he would have to change his approach as well.
Lie Wushuang was not alone in his change of attitude, as Lie Xuan also started to see Guan Dongyang under a different light after yesterday's event. She reckoned that the mastery he used last night could easily disorient an entire army of warriors. Using his area of effect spells, Guan Dongyang could have done away with the two hundred or so raiders with a few sweeps of hands.
The mastery Guan Dongyang used was not the elemental fire Mastery that he was most familiar with. The fire mastery consisted only a few common spells and their variants. After being popularized among mastery casters, it was quickly getting old.
