Chapter 1030: YUNYUE VS SANGUIS (IV)
Besides, his [Swift Flow] could still achieve the needed result without much of his MP decreasing. So, what\'s the reason not to use it?
As he was making his way to the center of the Tundra, he was also reading the messages being exchanged on their team channel. He didn\'t participate in their discussion. He believed that it\'s better for his teammates to decide on their own what they thought was best.
One might see it as just him being irresponsible and lazy, but for him, it\'s just him being free-spirited and democratic. And it worked well with their team dynamic. Because most of them were \'my pace\' kind of person. Even his princess had that streak, no matter how much she wanted to deny it.
He was planning on just leaving the things regarding the attack on team Yunyue\'s starting base to Qin Rushi, but something happened in the middle. Team Yunyue prepared a trap and separated the four - teleporting Qin Rushi, Tang Xun, and Yin Jian, only leaving Zhang Ya on her own.
When Xu Ru read that, he immediately understood what team Yunyue wanted to do. Fight them one on one instead of as a team.
With the data about their team, he should have accounted for that possibility. He just didn\'t expect team Yunyue to actually choose that route. He thought the other team would choose to face them as a whole team rather than separating them. Because it just felt like that\'s more their style.
There was also the fact that both Morganite and that gnome with the overly cringy game name had a grudge against him. Which was very much mutual, by the way. So, he thought the two would want to have a go at him. Something that would most likely happen if they had an all-out team battle with all the members of each team present, not separated like what\'s happening now.
It\'s his preconceive notion of team Yunyue that led to this situation.
Well, anyway, there\'s no use crying over spilled milk. What happened had already happened. What good would it do if he continued to wallow over that? Besides, there\'s one good thing that came out of this. The fact that they were now certain that team Yunyue planned to take the relic to the heart of the Tundra.
And Xu Ru was on his way there.
With his speed, it didn\'t take long for him to arrive at his destination. He looked around, looking for any sign of the person who would bring the relic here. But he didn\'t see anyone. In fact, he didn\'t even see the spot where the relic should be put.
Surely, the opposing team was not only required to put the relic somewhere here and that would be it, right? Because if it was, then where\'s the thrill of that? It\'s definitely not the usual modus of the game devs. Those guys with a sadistic streak would definitely not make things that easy.
He narrowed his eyes and looked around once again. All he could see was an endless snowy, white terrain. There was nothing out of the ordinary. Which made this even more suspicious.
Most would probably think that he probably went to the wrong place. But Xu Ru didn\'t think so. If this was not the wrong place, it only meant that something was fooling his senses right now and hiding what\'s really here.
And Xu Ru wouldn\'t be wrong for assuming that. Because right now, a certain six-tailed fox was hiding behind the illusion that was currently surrounding the area.
Yes, that\'s right, it was Eclipse.
When he saw the vampire appearing right in front of him, he quickly contacted his master via telepathy.
[Master, there\'s a bit of a problem.]
[What\'s wrong?] - Luo Yan quickly responded.
[The vampire is here.]
Luo Yan wasn\'t particularly shock when he heard that. He knew that Alucard would be loitering around somewhere, mostly in the place where the \'heart\' of the Tundra would be.
That\'s why, as a precautionary measure, they assigned Eclipse to go there first. Since he\'s no longer as small as a chihuahua in his beast form, but as big as a husky instead, his speed had also increased dramatically. He\'s actually one of the fastest in the team, especially when he\'s in his natural beast form.
There was also his illusion ability.
Once Eclipse reached the place considered as the \'heart\', he would check first if it\'s the right place and after confirming that it was, he would put up an illusion to deceive whoever would come. Aside from Luo Yan, of course.
Everything went according to plan. Eclipse arrived at the \'heart\' and saw a small altar at the center. So, he put up an illusion to make it seem like there was nothing there.
But this skill could only last for a few minutes. Meaning once it reached the time limit, it would automatically disappear. That\'s why Luo Yan decided to use [Shadow Walk] to get there, so he would be faster. One might ask why he didn\'t just ride Eclipse. But even if this was only virtual reality, his weight would still affect Eclipse\'s speed. The plan they had was fastest and safest way to go about it.
One might say that he could just stay inside the shadow world and wait out the 20 minutes time limit. But his [Shadow Walk] skill also had its own time limit. The best way was still to put the relic at that altar.
[I\'m close. Just wait a bit.]
After he said that to Eclipse, Xu Ru began his attack.
