'A Transcendent Body is really sothing else…'
Even with the training he did back at Mount Heaven, Leo could never truly gauge his ability when he was fighting those that were much stronger than him. However, when contending against pure numbers, he started to understand the level of ability he had achieved.
It wasn't really infinite, but Leo felt like he possessed endless stamina. His body moved like it had extra joints and ligants and his senses were too strong even without using Internal Energy. Compared to the Sword Continent where only attack points increased with advancent, progress in Murim was more like comprehensive level-ups, while achieving transcendence wasn't that much different from reaching the 2nd or 3rd class change!
Unfortunately, while fighting at this rate made it seem like he wouldn't be worn out any ti soon, the sa couldn't be said about ntal awareness. Just like normal humans wouldn't complete tasks at the sa efficiency without enough sleep, battling for days and nights was bound to decrease the level of battle concentration.
'I can go on for a while, but…'
The Mind stat had increased greatly during the advancent, but it didn't soar to the sky as Physique did. Leo felt like could go on for long thanks to stacking both personas' Mind stat, but the sa couldn't be said about the rest of the team. No matter how far he had surpassed Arthur, the current Leo wasn't enough to battle everyone on his own. Undeniably, the werewolf chief's strategy was effective.
Thankfully, the reinforcent that they had brought did more than they had to, accelerating the werewolves' sacrifice. The situation was only going from worse to worst for the monsters, but it wasn't like they could change their tactics now.
All that sacrifice would be aningless if the strongest combatants just rushed in! If they also died, the remaining werewolves would beco nothing more than cannon fodders!
In a sense, reserving their strength served as a tool of intimidation that forced Leo and the others to hold back in preparation for the final battle, but every minute they kept up at it, a few werewolves would lose their lives as a cost.
To stay behind and keep up their intimidating stance or to stake everything at a surprise frontal assault… The werewolf chief could only choose the forr!
He had made that choice from the very beginning for the sa reason, this was the only way he could see the path towards victory opening up. No matter how costly it was, it was still better to bet on it than to head straight towards total annihilation!
Swish!
The four protagonists of the battle might be relentless, but the foot soldiers were starting to falter. After all, there was a clear limit for 1st rate Martial Artists who had yet to beco masters…
'The timing isn't bad.'
Of course, their exhaustion wasn't for naught. The few hundred werewolves that easily surrounded them at the start were reduced to slightly over a hundred. Both sides' strategy had their own rits, so no one could clearly predict how this battle would end…
Thud!
"Take as many pills as you need. If you already have so in your possession, don't worry about wasting them, I will recompense you after the battle is over!"
Taking a brief second of rest, Leo threw a bag full of low-level recovery at the center of their formation. Pills weren't the perfect solution to exhaustion, but a few shots of coffee could keep soone going for a few extra hours!
Internal Energy recovery pills, Stamina recovery pills, Health recovery pills… There was nothing that Alchemy couldn't do in a world full of magical herbs like the murim. Perfect condition recovery was impossible, but they could buy the ti Leo needed to tip the scale of battle in his direction.
'It would be wrong not to make use of our status.'
Using such pills might hurt for normal mbers, but Scarlet Sky Warriors like them had a certain amount of resources that they could withdraw for the sake of missions aside from their usually allotted resources. In comparison to reviving their little army, they were but a small cost!
"Fine!"
"We will accept Hyung's help and finish off these monsters!"
'Doping is still more helpful.'
ًWoooosh!
Unleashing another barrage of True Internal Fire, Leo viewed the remaining werewolves as his cornered prey. It was only a matter of ti before their numbers were evened up, once that happened… A clear end could already be seen!
Monsters had it easier thanks to their illogical special abilities, but they were still nothing but foreigners acting up on an alien playground. Without possessing sothing of similar use to humanity's martial arts and supplents, only their numbers could make up for their shortcomings, and even that advantage was slipping away from the werewolves' hands!
Without waiting for the battle to take its natural progression, Leo simultaneously sent a Sound Transmission to his teammates before jumping out of the werewolves' entrapnt. There were still about 80 normal werewolves left, but he knew that the fifty-sothing mbers were more than enough to hold them back for a while if not finish them off!
'This is for the sake of a perfect battle!'
Leo's target was none other than the 14 werewolves who were strongly biting their lips while waiting for the chance to attack. Victory would still have been guaranteed even if he didn't do this, but he wanted to avoid the bloody result of these elite werewolves' rampage!
He and the other three would have been fine, but the other mbers were likely to fall victim to them. With things leveled down like this, it was better to split the battlefield into two rather than drag people into their death and destroy a perfect record before it could even start.
"Your opponent is , old man!"
Quickly picking up the Silver Dragon on his way out, Leo jumped straight at the werewolf chief. Since he was the one that chose this plan, it was only right for him to take the most dangerous role!
