1388: Chapter 1384: Lucky One 1388: Chapter 1384: Lucky One Siberia was on fire.
Although it defied logic, even though one doubted how flas could engulf the mountains at several degrees below zero, what lay before Kudarana was such a bizarre reality.
Part of the world was still ice and snow, part had already turned into a mountain of flas; everywhere there were roars of beasts and screams of agony, explosions and crackling electricity incessantly resounding with loud noises.
“Ah, ah, ah, ah!”
Right before Kudarana’s eyes, a professional covered in flas ran out.
The golden flas simply couldn’t be extinguished, even though he rolled in the snow.
In just over ten seconds, he turned into ash.
Above the charred corpse, light golden powder fluttered in the wind, looking surprisingly sacred.
At this mont, as an observer, Kudarana only felt her scalp tingle; her sensitive ears relayed nothing but screams of agony and death, as if legions from hell and heaven were clashing here…
“D61 Team, retreat and reorganize, everyone, run fast…”
Kudarana, a foreign rcenary from the Gray Rock rcenary Company, was a mber of the D61 and C713 teams this ti.
She was with Gray Rock, not a Huaqi person, to be precise; she wasn’t even an Earth person.
“What exactly happened?
My perception is filled with death!”
Kudarana couldn’t bear it anymore; her scream, mixed with extre emotion, resonated back and forth in the communication, striking everyone’s ears and souls heavily.
“This isn’t what we agreed upon…uh uh…”
In the communicator, the voice of a girl crying could now be heard.
Kudarana was a Kuda person…
a relatively peaceful small race whose world wasn’t large, their largest historical war involved only a little over a thousand people in a village clash.
Thanks to rich land, they could lead a peaceful life, carefree and wasteful, until the Huaqi people arrived…
No need to say more, Kudarana, this little princess of the Kuda clan, born with a pair of sensitive ears, was an unusual sensory mutation type who oddly found herself in debt and ended up working in the Huaqi Federation.
Two years as a rcenary had not made her accustod to this environnt; her natural disadvantage of being physically small made her incapable of fighting, although she had the ability to protect herself, she never revealed it to other rcenaries.
Her unpleasant career made her imnsely aware of the gap within this country…
at least this death-bringing rcenary company was filled with malicious intent.
She knew her position, rely a living scout radar.
Her natural sensory system, at least ten tis that of humans, combined with her mastery in scouting, made her a top-tier danger detector.
But now, as countless deaths lood over her, feeling she could die at any mont, she, who in the past never wanted to inquire about ‘mission objectives,’ scread in the communication channels…
“…the war has started…two…” Morale was already shaky, so things had to be voiced.
Was it war?
A real major national war?
Were the Eastern Country and Red Star fighting?
It seed only this could explain the burning vast snow mountains of Siberia and the lives disappearing around every mont.
“…it’s two individuals fighting, it’s a dispute over divine rights between the Evil God Mother Goddess Sect, one a World Devourer, the other ‘Peace Road’…”
Finally, soone shouted out the truth in the communication channel.
“Two individuals?
Just two individuals?”
Kudarana couldn’t believe it; everything in front of her was burning, the snow mountains turned into volcanoes, a battlefield where people died every mont, and it was rely the fight between two individuals?!
“Fools, don’t underestimate top professionals.
Both suspects have life-system abilities above eighth-tier, you could consider them both quasi-gods engaged in serious combat!
If it were really just a war between two countries, that would actually be trivial, at least far better than the current situation, they are serious, they truly want to kill each other…”
Kudarana, putting down the communicator, couldn’t comprehend how friction or even minor wars between superpowers could be less significant than a death fight between two high-tier professionals?
But ironically, that was the reality; at least other colleagues in the communicator, upon hearing this “dreadful news,” scread and complained continuously.
“Peace Road?
Isn’t that our target?
What a joke, isn’t he just a fifth-tier?!”
“Fifth-tier?
I heard he was fourth-tier!
He was even a mortal two years ago!”
“Damn it, combat power above eighth-tier…
This is unreasonable, we should cancel the contract, isn’t this sending us to our deaths?
Even the pension can’t compare to facing eighth-tier rcenaries!”
“Run, run now, anyone caught up in this is definitely dood!
My God, why did I join this mission, why did I actively get involved in the Divine War…”
Fear spread, and the team’s morale had already collapsed at that mont.
“Boom!”
A towering ancient tree burst from the ground; it shakily transford into an ancient and powerful Tree-man, wrapped in warm yet irresistible golden flas.
And its opponent seed to be several beasts taller than skyscrapers.
“Ah, too close…”
Where the Tree-man stepped, appeared to be a temporary outpost, but the last screams of the unlucky occupants hadn’t finished before only a huge pit remained.
The War of the Gods, the Mortals’ Doomsday…
This scene utterly shattered the rcenaries’ morale, and they didn’t hesitate to drop their firearms and gear to flee for their lives.
But they were too close…
Trying to detour in search of “Divine Heritage,” they got caught up in a deadly struggle between two powerful beings who were naturally blocked on this path.
“So many Magic Monsters!
My God, dragons!
Above Rule-level, so many of them…
Ah, get off, don’t eat my flesh…”
The sequence of screams had just begun.
So were caught by the beast swarm, directly turned into extra als and minceat.
“Be careful, all the plants here have undergone Magic Plants Transformation…
They could turn into Tree-n anyti…”
So turned into floral muck of the Magic Plants and the forest.
“Don’t get near the lake, there…
several Rule-level Strongn are hiding there…”
Did the rcenaries from Huaqi encounter lone strong n seeking refuge from the Eastern Country?
Casually finishing off the task also spared themselves the embarrassnt of being exposed.
With the escalation of the “War of the Gods,” more and more deaths occurred, plunging Kudarana into utter fear and despair.
Unlike her colleagues proficient in slaughter, with tiny wings yet unable to fly, short arms and legs ill-suited for running, her combat power was pitiful, with no chance of escaping from this perilous battlefield.
All she could do was find a tree hole, crawl inside, and shiver, hoping to avoid detection.
But when she heard that a beast swarm was dragging out the unlucky ones from snow pits and caves to be eaten, she lost all hope of surviving.
Oddly though, it seed that the God of Fate had looked favorably upon her.
Until the constant screams in her communicator finally quieted, as she counted from one to a thousand and then to tens of thousands, everything seed to have cald.
The long night seed to end, and when the sunlight finally scattered down, she felt she might have been redeed, perhaps she was that one in ten thousand lucky one.
Until, she stuck her head out.
A young man, the man listed as “Target,” was smiling at her.
Only then did she realize, the “tree hole” she had frantically sought in the black blind night…
was actually a tree stump storage cupboard made at that man’s temporary campsite!
“Hey, have you eaten?
Or, shall we have breakfast together…”
“Indeed, waiting for , just to eat …”
The small fairy-like lucky one just fainted right away.
