Chapter 87 [Episode 45] Unsealing 2
“From now on don’t spread out. Maintain the formation like this and find the enemy!”
Ozen thought that 22 elite malefactors including himself, could remove the enemy even if he was a monster.
“The enemy is not an ordinary user. Everyone stay focused and just think like you're hunting down a powerful monster!”
After Ozen warned his guild’s members, he pulled out two swords.
“A monster with ambushing abilities powerful enough to defeat our juniors in one attack… Normally if he has that level of ambushing ability means that all his other abilities are at the bottom level, right? So, it would be easier to catch him if he cannot use that ambushing ability.”
Ozen kept looking around while thinking endlessly about the mysterious enemy.
The tensed atmosphere in Tower of Nightmare.
But the users of Line Dark who were hunting in the Tower of Nightmare, couldn’t feel the tension. They saw Dark Blood’s malefactors rushing past and only thought, “Is there an intrusion?”
Rather than reporting the situation immediately, Ozen was thinking of removing the enemy and then generally reporting. There were many things that were too embarrassing to be reported as they were.
One of the most effective strategy for a single opponent against a large number of enemies was guerilla warfare. If you reduce their numbers by quickly assassinating an opponent and fleeing, it would be troublesome.
Of course from the numerically superior side, they were very likely confronting this guerilla strategy. The best counter was what Ozen did, just cluster in a tight formation.
There was no risk of being cut off when you're grouped together. If the opponent tries to strike and fail, he would be done in by using the strength of numbers to surround and catch him.
Unless he has something like long-distance sniper ability, it was a very wise move.
Immortal has various abilities, but he doesn’t have that long-distance sniper ability. Immortal didn’t have the most effective ability to break the formation.
But nevertheless, Immortal was staring at Ozen’s party in the darkness with a contemptuous expression.
“United you live, divided you fall. Is that it?”
Ozen’s response was well predicted by Immortal.
“Well, it was clearly not wrong. But…. it is meaningless to me at all.”
Even with his enemies united, the Immortal had no intention to escape.
“Should we begin?”
The difference between scattered and united… For Immortal, the difference was only in whether they were defeated quickly or later.
Because they united to be defeated quickly by themselves, then it was enough to give them the consequences they asked for.
Shreeezzzz! Hop hop, baaammm!
The Ten Millenia Goldbone Whip, struck out the darkness and smashed the head of a malefactor in the outermost position.
At that moment, Ozen found out that the monster was unable to wait for any longer and showed up.
“He came out! All of you focus!”
Until now, Ozen couldn’t control the tactical situation but now it is different. With 20 malefactor elites… Ozen thought it was worth fighting no matter that the opponent was called a monster.
“This son of a bitch… did he really think that he can strike all of us down using only that one ambushing skill? You’ll be dead today.”
Ozen concluded that the opponent was very powerful, but that power came from the amazing ambushing ability. So, Ozen thought that if he could pull his opponent out of the darkness, he could deal with his opponent.
“Bring him out of the darkness!”
The malefactors quickly attacked towards the shadow of the Ten Millenia Goldbone Whip that came out.
The stealth ambushing power had no choice but to fall to half, no, even more than that. So Ozen believed that by breaking the enemy’s concealment, they could win.
Blazzaammm!
All kinds of ranged techniques fell on the shadow of Immortal who was hiding and detonated. But before the barrage ended, Immortal came out of the shadows.
At that time, all the users of Dark Blood including Ozen were able to see Immortal properly. The malefactors did not stand still, but quickly surrounded Immortal by forming a wide circle.
“Now the little rat finally came out of its hole.”
Ozen muttered with a much more confident expression than before because he believed that his opponent was as vulnerable as a rat that came out of the shelter of its hole, so he could just crush the rat at once.
