Wang i's top priority right now was the safety of her guild mbers.
After contacting the entire squads, out of 100 squads, only 38 responded. Seven of the squads had already gathered together with Wang i, while the remaining 62 were not yet known.
According to the squad leaders who had been contacted earlier, they experienced the sa thing as Wang i. They were fooled by a bird monster that imitated the human voices, then was ambushed by a group of monsters. Luckily, they managed to escape, although only in small numbers.
Wang i asked them to return to the camp. However, most of the squad mbers were seriously injured and lost the healers, making it difficult for them to move. Even if they could do it, it would take them a long ti to return. Only a few teams were able to return to the camp.
She also contacted the Siberian Knights and the Heavenly Dragon Guild Masters for help, but there was no response.
Whether she liked it or not, Wang i had to pick up all her guild mbers. Moreover, one of them was the most precious person in her life, Wang Yi.
Even though the situation was chaotic, she believed that there was a chance for them to survive. They might still be alive sowhere in the Dungeon.
First, Wang i and her n would search for all the squads whose whereabouts were known. After that, they returned to the camp to get the supplies and inford their allied guilds. Then, she would look for other squads that had lost contact.
Wang i didn't look for her sister first because she put her hopes in Wang Yi. She was sure that her stubborn sister would not die so easily. Besides, the girl's whereabouts hadn't been found yet, so it would take a long ti for her to find Wang Yi. Before she could find her sister, many of her mbers would be dead.
This ti, she would not let her ego.
"I will save as many of my guild mbers as I can. Wang Yi is a strong girl. She will survive. Yes… She will be fine."
That was what she thought.
However, without her knowing it, the death flag was about to fly.
After exploring the forest for a long ti, their search was stopped because their path was blocked by a river. So were sent to find a way across the river and the rest took the opportunity to rest. While Wang i herself seed busy discussing with Captain Chen Wei.
"Are you sure there is no other way?"
"There isn't other way for now. If we want to cross, we have to turn 10 km away or go through the river."
Captain Chen Wei pointed to a giant dead tree that had fallen in the middle of the river. The dead tree connected to the other side.
"It can't be helped. We'll all cross over the river."
Wang i then called on all her n to get back on their feet. They began to rise with exhausted expressions on their faces.
Captain Chen Wei was the first to walk on the dead tree. Then, followed by other mbers. They crossed the river like a line of ants. anwhile, Wang i still remained behind. She planned to beco the last person to cross the river after making sure all her n made it to the other side.
After 10 minutes, half of her n had reached the other side of the river.
"Quick, quicken your footsteps! There are a lot of people waiting!"
In the middle of the crossing process, suddenly there was a commotion on the other side. Naturally, this caught Wang i's attention.
She placed her palm on her forehead while she squinted her eyes, trying to focus her vision.
Instantly, her eyes opened wide.
"No…"
A swarm of monsters, about hundreds of them, appeared from behind the forest. They charged at the thirty Nine Sky mbers who were on the opposite side. Including Captain Chen Wei.
"We are under attack! We are under attack!!"
"Monsters!"
"Stay the course! Keep your positions!"
A scream was heard from a distance. Hearing that, Wang i's instincts automatically commanded her to make a move. However, her body was restrained.
"What are you doing?!" Wang i snapped. One of her n restrained herself.
"Leader! We are under attack too!"
"WHAT?!"
Wang i looked back. Her eyes widened as she saw hundreds of monsters coming out from behind the pine forest. Direwolves, chupacabras, direlions, lycantropes, and various beast-like monsters sward in droves, charging towards them. Now, she couldn't help the battle on the other side.
"I have to end this as soon as possible…"
The woman quickly dashed through the crowd of Hunters. Before the monsters could clash with her n, Wang i had already slashed down a werelion!
SLASH!!!!!
SPLAAT!
The fighting spirit of her n began to flare up when they saw their leader had advanced towards the monsters first. Without a doubt, they quickly followed.
"Attack!"
The thirty mbers of Nine Sky rushed towards over the 100 monsters. At first glance, the battle was unbalanced, but Wang i's presence covered the difference in their numbers.
The woman fought like a goddess of war. Dozens of monsters attacked and charged from various directions, none of which managed to scratch her skin. In fact, she was the one who slaughtered every monster around her.
Slash! Slash! Splat! A lycantropes died.
Slash! Slash! Splat! Two direlions died.
Slash! Slash! Splat! Four gnolls were killed.
"Kuaaaarrrgh!"
The screams of a monster echoed through the air, mixed with thumping and slashing sounds. They died like slaughtered cattle.
Even though Wang i's existence had a great impact, it didn't an that there were no losses on the human side.
"Haaaaaaaaargggg!"
One by one, Wang i's n fell, becoming the prey to the monsters. So of them lost their limbs, so died slowly from loss of blood, and so died without them noticing.
No matter how hard they fought or how high their spirits were, there were always casualties on the battlefield.
Everyone knew this. Wang i was no exception.
She fought with all her might, trying to finish the battle as quickly as possible to reduce the number of casualties.
"No… no… no more die… please…"
Wang i released more mana. Instantly, the blue aura that enveloped her body grew darker.
"Hyaaaaaa!"
Raging like a storm.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
She continued to swing her sword. Wang i didn't stop. She kept cutting whatever was in front of her.
Spat! Splat! Splat!
Blood splattered, soaking the green grass and the scattered pebbles. The thick red liquid flowed into the river, turning the water that was originally clear like crystal into crimson red.
"Haaaaa!"
She continued to fight until there were no more screams. Until there were no more crashes. Until everything was quiet.
Until the battle was over.
Only then did she stop.
Wang i looked around her. The monsters that invaded her squad laid lifeless on the ground, as did her n. Out of the thirty people who fought alongside her, eighteen remained.
Then, she looked to the other side. Instantly, her face turned pale. Not a single human was seen standing. There was only a sea of monsters that seed to be feasting on a al.
They had died. All of them.
"No…"
A weak tone ca from Wang i's words. Her knees were shaking. She was going to fall, yet she was still trying to stay strong.
anwhile, her n who survived were also not much different. Their faces were pale, with expressions of disbelief.
"No way..."
"They're all…. dead."
"Even Captain Chen Wei…"
When Chen Wei's na was ntioned, Wang i was struck. She couldn't believe she was losing the most loyal person to her. Regret and sorrow quickly flooded her heart.
"Chen Wei…. No…"
Unknowingly, one of her eyes welled up with tears. Then, she hastily wiped it off. She didn't want to look weak in front of her n.
"Leader… it's best if we get out of here! While we still have a chance…"
While Wang i was still silent. She was still in deep shock. Her eyes were blank when she saw her dead n. Then, the man shook Wang i's body again.
"Leader! We have to get out of here!"
Only then did the woman realize her surroundings.
"Yes… we… we should go. We're going back to camp."
The man nodded. Then, he called for the other mbers to get ready to leave. After that, Wang i and her remaining mbers quickly left the battlefield.
This was the first ti Wang i had cried since her parents died. Today was the second worst day of her life.
However, today's rotten luck did not stop here.
Just as they were about to leave, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He wore a black coat with unique decorations. His face was covered by a mask. And what stood out the most and caught Wang Yi's attention, his hair was black flas.
Instantly, they were surprised when they saw the mysterious figure. At first glance, the person resembled a human. However, everyone knew that the mysterious figure was not part of them.
They begin to feel a depressed sensation. Wang i was no exception.
One of the brave mbers drew a sword at the figure.
"Who are you?!"
Wang i quickly rebuked her n. "Hey!"
Her n felt awkward when Wang i scolded him.
Then, the mysterious figure answered. "I am the owner."
Everyone frowned, not understanding what the man had said. The only one who understood the aning of the mysterious figure's words was Wang i alone.
Then, the mysterious figure pointed at sothing. Wang i's eyes opened wide.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Bang!
The sword fell to the ground. Blood flowed profusely. His n fell with their heads smashed like lons.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Then, the sound of consecutive gunshots echoed through the air, accompanied by a hysterical scream.
