Chapter 171: A Big Problem Errected
As soon as Moby heard the man's words, he inwardly took a sigh of relief. If the retrieval team was not coming anyti soon, that cut off most of his worries about the ti crunch. It very much worked out in his favour since he had no plans of losing. Now, he was able to take his ti in ensuring that he left no evidence behind, aning that he had to eradicate every last person in the forest, including the 2 in front of him that Ray claid he stood no chance against.
"So, Nags! You're really letting take him on all by myself first? If you want we can team up on him and get it over with quick,"
"I said that it's fine Jason! You kept on nagging about it so much that I couldn't take it much longer, just don't lose and beco a disgrace, I might have to abandon you if that happens. Besides, if he can't even beat you he would never stand a chance against ,"
"Haha! Yeah, you fighting would be a waste of your ti and effort. So, just let take care of him. Once I whoop his ass we can both have fun with him and the pipsqueak,"
Moby noticed that the two students he now knew were called Nags and Jason were just casually chatting between themselves like they did not see him as a threat, but a toy, as they talked about who wanted to play first which slightly annoyed Moby and rubbed him the wrong way.
However, he would be lying if he said that he wasn't also satisfied. They were actually willing to take turns fighting him instead of going at him at the sa ti, which greatly increased his chances of survival due to their arrogance.
He found that his opponent's actions gave him a good opportunity to do 2 things, check their stats and power level, and inform his friends about the situation and tell them to engage. No matter how strong they were, there was no way in hell they could withstand the assault of him and all of his family mbers.
'Everyone, engage! Follow my energy signal to my location, I have co across 2 strong enemies. Prepare to fight!' Moby gave the order through his mind-link with a passionate voice that reverberated strongly in the ears of all of his comrades as they all gave him a strong response as they all answered his call to action with no hesitation, Jayden giving him an update that she would arrive in no less than 5 minutes.
Now, in his mind, all he needed to do was hold out until the arrival of his friends for a guaranteed victory.
As he inwardly smiled under his poker face of distress, he decided to inspect his enemy's status starting with Jason, the big, burly, spiky redhead.

As soon as Moby saw Jason's stats, he was almost unable to believe his eyes, making him blink a few tis as he inspected his stats once more. It was not the fact that he was an A- rank in terms of strength, Around his own strength with his armour on, far from it, as it was exactly the type of strength he was expecting from him.
'What the fuck! How the hell does he have stats in mind as a human!?' Moby inwardly thought as it was the first ti he saw such a thing, his mind spinning in circles.
The only possible conclusion he could co up with was that his ability sohow had the ability to manipulate soone else's mind in so way shape or form. Avilia did tell him that it was indeed possible for humans to have stats in mind but that demons had a much higher affinity to it.
This ant that he should be on guard to watch out for any underhanded mind tactic that he might try to pull on him.
However, that was not the only problem he was encountering. The only detail about his ability that his Inspect skill provided him was that it was level 8, the sa level as his, and that it was sound-related, nothing more. He had no idea what that specifically ant as it could an a multitude of things as there existed various different abilities pertaining to sound, so much more powerful than others. The knowledge he gained from his research of abilities was serving to be sowhat useless as his inspect skill was not giving him the exact nas of the abilities of his opponents.
Now, he shifted his focus from Jason to Nags who was standing directly beside him, his arms confidently crossed as he continued to talk to Jason like he was not even there.
Even though he knew that Nags was not going to be his opponent at the ti, he still thought that it would be best to inspect him as well while he still had the chance.

Nags was clearly the stronger of the 2. However, the mystery of his ability was not as big as his friend's as Moby had already seen his barrier ability in action to block his attack on the gang mbers still piled up on the ground, which only seed to have made him use 40 mana to block such a powerful attack.
At face value, his ability might seem very defence centric but under the right conditions, it could be used very offensively as well.
All in all, Moby was happy that he had to fight Jason first instead of Nags which might have ended badly. If he was able to kill Jason before fighting Nags, he might be able to level up a few tis to even the playing field.
If these were only rank 3, and 4 of the gang, he was scared to find out how much stronger ranks 1 and 2 were, making him relieved that those people were not his current opponents.
"Okay Nags! I hope you don't regret your decision because I'm going to tear him to shreds before you even get the chance to lay a finger on him. He needs to be taught a lesson," Jason said with an amused voice, slowly approaching Moby's location as he punched both of his gauntlets against each other, making a loud clanking noise of tal clashing against tal.
That was the mont that Moby snapped back into reality as he stopped wondering in his own thoughts, his friends should arrive any second now and all he had to do now was stall and hold out until then.
"Okay, but like I said before, I promise to not interfere in this fight no matter what. You are on your own. Prove your worth!" Nags said with a smile as he casually sat on a nearby rock beside the barrier he erected for the pile of his fellow gang mbers.
"Haha! I would rather die than admit that I need your help! I would never allow myself to beco such a disgrace! Don't help no matter what! That would be a big insult and I would never forgive you if you did!" Jason said in a playful yet serious voice, making Nags laugh out loud and agree in response.
"But, just for a little help, here you go," Nags said with a smile, snapping his fingers as he created a huge do of yellow energy surrounding the area around 1 kilotre in diater.
"Now they won't be able to run away and no one could co in and interrupt us without being notified. Especially so the pipsqueak doesn't run away since I don't expect you to be taking him hostage for this fight and he would have probably slipped away while you were distracted with the main target," Nags explained.
"Fine! But that's the only thing I will allow since I don't want to be interrupted in the middle of my fight. If anyone else sohow snuck past everyone and shows up knocking at our doorsteps then you go take care of them!" Jason said in a confident voice before redirecting his attention to Moby and Ray.
'Fuck my life,' Moby inwardly cursed as he was not at all expecting such a thing to happen.
He was about to send Ray off to go hide sowhere safe because he would have been useless in the fight. But there now seed to be no use in doing that as he doubted that Ray would be strong enough to break through the barrier. However, as long as he stayed far away from their attacks, he should be safe. Assuming that they keep their words and don't take him hostage, sothing that he could of course not trust them on.
The barrier also served to notify Nags when soone else was coming aning that his plans of his friends showing up and taking them by surprise just flew right out the window.
Also, when Jason was talking, he heard him say "snuck past everyone" which hinted at there being more people hidden in the forest, probably for ergency or scouting purposes. The operation must have still been on a bigger scale than he expected.
He needed to imdiately inform his teammates about the new information that he just received but before he even got the chance, he found out that he was already too late...
