Death… And Me

Chapter 2682  Catch the Fish

What Kafan was in doubt was how far the Wonder Beasts would go before they turned around and run back to the tower. At first, there wasn't really a need to check that since they had the strength to kill the Wonder Beasts at the end of the Chaos Laws and Energy waves that the beasts followed. However, with that teleportation ability that didn't seem to use Spatial Laws, things got trickier.

After the experts reached the point Kafan mentioned, he gave the order. "You will only fight them for twenty seconds. After that, I want you all to retreat. Those with supporting type Domains will stay on the back and far from each other. Use your Domains to help everyone flee. The Wonder Beasts will pursue us, and the other Wonder Beasts in the tower's range won't have time to notice anything. Alright, start!"

Rean and Roan were the first ones to jump forward. Their domains weren't supporting types and couldn't increase anyone's strength, so there was no point in them staying behind. Even Kentucky and Celis Domains were no different. They were Domains used against the enemies, not themselves. Besides, they were too strong to be kept watching.

Everyone quickly pounced at the Wonder Beasts, just like the twins' group. During those twenty seconds, no one held back at they killed more and more Wonder Beasts. The group of Wonder Beasts they were attacking had almost two hundred of them, and in the twenty seconds determined by Kafan, over fifty died. Fifteen were done by the twins' group alone.

"Retreat!" Kafan didn't lose focus on the time and issued the order. Immediately, all the experts turned around and began to flee. The experts with supporting domains activated them, which made it even easier to retreat. At the same time, the Semi-Celestials joined the back and helped block the Wonder Beasts just like they did before.

The Wonder Beasts pursued their group as fast as they could, but they posed no threat to the experts running. After a few minutes of full-speed retreat, the Wonder Beasts finally stopped. They instinctively felt their power diminishing and sought the tower once again.

"Great! Everyone, attack!" Kafan didn't lose the opportunity and issued the order to attack once again. The Wonder Beasts ignored everything and continued to run back. It was a copy of the events that happened before. It's just that the Realm of Gods' experts were in control of it now.

With the Wonder Beasts ignoring the attacks, it became quite easy to get rid of them. In the end, only nineteen Wonder Beasts managed to return to the tower's range. The weaker cultivators obviously didn't pursue those Wonder Beasts deep into the tower's range. There were thousands of Wonder Beasts still there. Instead, they focused on absorbing the very rich concentration of Chaos Laws and Energy left behind by the Wonder Beasts they killed. This time, not a single expert in their groups died.

Kafan and the other Semi-Celesitals nodded, satisfied. If things continued like this, it wouldn't take more than a few days to get rid of all the Wonder Beasts around the tower. They would be able to finally enter it. Of course, Kafan wasn't feeling relaxed. Roan's words were still in his mind, so he kept a close watch of everyone.

Once again, it took several hours for the weaker experts to absorb the Chaos Laws and Energy of the dead Wonder Beasts. They also took their time to recover their strength and attack the next group. And then the next, and the next after that one. Everything was going extremely well for the Realm of Gods' experts. Only two members of their group died during several attacks, while they got over two thousand Wonder Beasts killed.

Not only that, even the Space-Time Realm experts were now reaching a level of Chaos Cultivation that wasn't too far away from the Semi-Celestials. That only gave everyone even more confidence.

As things happened, Roan kept his eyes on the Golden Drohares. They always helped with the attacks and followed the order perfectly. They showed absolutely no signs of trying to disrupt their companions or other races. If anything, they were contributing quite a lot to the outcome of these battles. 'Could it be I was wrong?' Roan couldn't help but wonder.

Of course, there was also the fact that Kafan was being much more careful this time. He never initiated an attack if he wasn't absolutely sure the other groups of Wonder Beasts were far enough for them to have a safe retreat. Even if a sudden teleport of Wonder Beasts happened again, they would be prepared for it, especially now that everyone's overall strength increase so much.

Nonetheless, neither Kafan nor Roan liked this feeling of 'what if' over their heads. Kafan then sent Roan a Divine Sense Message. 'What do you think?'

'Ever since that pincer attack, I haven't seen the Wonder Beasts doing anything that could be considered an intelligent decision,' Roan answered. 'There is a chance I was wrong and that situation was truly nothing but a coincidence.'

Kafan new Roan wasn't like that. 'You don't like it.'

'I don't like it at all!' Roan nodded, not hiding his concerns. 'Master...'

'I know,' Kafan understood what Roan wanted. 'Time spread the net to see if we can catch the fish.'

In the end, with Kafan's careful management, he truly might have cut all chances of another situation like the first time. To lure the enemy out, he had to give them a chance.

'Good!' Roan agreed with Kafan. 'Besides, the strength of our whole group is increasing nonstop. If there was really someone controlling the Wonder Beasts at that time, they should be quite concerned by now. All they need is a change to cause havoc again.'

Kafan then noticed a few more waves of Chaos Laws and Energy coming out of the tower and spreading in different directions. The weakest one obviously had the least amount of Wonder Beasts following it while absorbing it all. Yet, that weakest wave was still far above what he usually would consider acceptable to attack since there were over four hundred Wonder Beasts still following it. 'Seems like our chance has arrived too.'

'Even better,' Roan wanted to act immediately. 'When the time comes, I need you to do something for me.
