"He's weaker than I expected. But we cannot underestimate soone from the lineage of one of the strongest individuals in the Dark World." I handed the Scouter to Irja and she also looked into the UPL of our adversary.
At the mont, the two camps are quietly waiting for the other side to move first. With eight of them here, we have to wait for the other Transcendents to co to his side first before making sure that none will be able to flee and hide sowhere secluded in this world.
To probe the other side, I summoned Kael and had it creep over to the middle of the gap between the two camps.
In a few monts, two of the vacant-eyed Beastmaster Transcendents floated from their camp and dropped down their quadrupedal Soul-bound beasts; one looked like a green sabertooth tiger with two heads and the other looked like a direwolf with rainbow-colored fur.
The two heads of the sabertooth opened their mouths and acidic liquid sprayed out of their fangs, like snakes spitting their venoms.
Kael punched down and a huge chunk of the ground rose and blocked it.
The rainbow-colored direwolf moved so fast that it appeared to be split into seven different colored direwolves before jumping altogether, aiming for Kael's neck.
However, a golden arrow shower fell on that spot, accurately hitting each colored direwolf in their bodies, revealing the real one riddled by it while purple blood dripped out of its body.
Delian waited for that tily cover fire next to .
Using that opportunity, Kael flew up high before swooping down like a teor towards the wolf.
Unfortunately, the rainbow wolf beca covered with Dark Energy and its speed was suddenly heightened, retreating back to their camp.
The green two-headed sabertooth issued a deafening growl while showering its front with its acidic saliva before retreating back to its camp as well.
Upon seeing that, I called back Kael and unsummoned the two Pillar Guardians.
Looking at the enemy camp, that descendant was biting his fingernail in irritation.
When he noticed looking at him, he imdiately composed himself although he's already caught in the act.
So he's acting tough, huh? Should I challenge him to who could 'act tough' better?
"Those two Transcendents were really controlled by him," Irja told her observation.
"Yes. It's probably one of his skills. But if he can control seven Transcendents at once, that skill of his is overpowered. Do you think we're missing sothing here?"
"Considering you can also create clones as strong as Transcendents and your Pillar Guardians who could hold themselves against Transcendents, I doubt there's nothing wrong with it… However, you're not normal and he's just simply a descendant… Perhaps he's employing so kind of tactic for us to be wary of him."
That's plausible. He even tried to look composed. I guess I have to employ that kind of tactic again. However, before that, I have to make it worth our while.
Since we finished probing the enemy responses, I tried touring Raiden's Heavenly Lightning Battalion.
Apart from Old Man Reol that is Raiden's close aide and could be said as the Deputy Commander of his army, there are also five Generals who are at the later stages of King Realm. However, none of them reached the 5th Stage King Realm.
Months ago, only Old Man Reol reached that stage among every King Realm existing in the Desolate Plains and a lot of Chieftains of large tribes who were probably around 3rd Stage King Realm died against Raiden or beca corrupted that were all later cut down.
It's already a wonder that one of his Generals reached the 4th Stage King Realm.
Back then, I thought that everyone's progress was linked with but in truth, I'm only partly the reason for that. It's actually the quicker encroachnt of the Dark Energy that's mixing in this Mortal Worlds' atmosphere.
Add the descent and the ergence of the Transcendents, the Mortal Worlds' energy concentration beca thicker than how it was originally or three years ago. The signs of evolution of World of Elents World's Will were also because of the number of Transcendents in that world as well as the existence of Dark World Zones, especially whenever one of those would be destroyed.
Upon checking the army's current state, I decided to give them a small boost. Using Energy Zone, I used five baseball-sized stones and through my Energy Manipulation, I bathed everyone in the camp with the dissolved essence of the energy stones.
After estimating their numbers, there are at least ten thousand Barbarians in this camp, around seven thousand of them were Mortal Ranks which served as the infantry or in other words, the cannon fodders. Of the remaining three thousand, two thousand three hundred Barbarians are at varying stages of Augnted Realm, six hundred eighty Barbarians are at Saint Realm and only twenty King Realm experts.
Compared to the almost extinct human race of the World of Elent or the Spiritas and Spirit Beasts at World of Spirits, the number of experts here and their stages is too pitiful.
Perhaps if there's no interference from the Dark World, the experts here will remain stagnant because of how the large tribes always tried to keep the other large tribes in check.
In just around five minutes, the lowest ranking Mortal Realm Barbarians simultaneously experienced breakthroughs. So even directly went to Augnted Realm making the camp rowdy that everyone beca alerted, from an Augnted Captain of a squad to the five strongest Generals and their deputies.
At the twenty-minute mark, Augnted Realm Captains or just Special Troop mbers who were responsible for making use of the Mortal Realms sacrifices also simultaneously broke through to a new stage or realm.
At this point, the Generals as well as the enemy camp already noticed the abnormality of the Energy Storm that's currently showering the whole Heavenly Lightning Tribe's Army Camp.
After the Augnted Realms, the Saint Realm soon followed and only when it reached the three hours mark did the King Realm all manage to breakthrough once.
The strongest General conjured his fourth Pillar and the number of King Realm rose from 20 to 50, bolstering the quality of the Tribe's Army.
Of course, the lowest Ranks also managed to have an upheaval when half of the previous Mortal Realm beca Augnted Realm that a short dilemma concerning the shortage of Augnted Skill Manuals for the untalented Barbarians rise amidst the simultaneous breakthroughs of everyone in the camp.
When I stopped my Energy Zone due to the depletion of the baseball-sized energy stones, the now 5th Stage King Realm General nad Povio kneeled in front of to thank for my graciousness and apologizes for their sowhat cold treatnt they showed back when I first ca in this world.
Most of the higher ranks were still aware of my identity after all. The weak-looking lad who arrived with their Chieftain using the Portal.
Since that kind of event didn't really affect , I had them stand up and go about their post to restructure the army because of the increase in quality.
I'm actually more concerned about the reaction of the enemy camp after a heavy rain of energy showered this camp and not theirs.
The descendant kept his composed expression, however, it's easy to see how pissed off he was. Although he could launch an attack during it, he chose not to because he's afraid to lose against and Irja.
Around two hours later after that, seven more Transcendent Aura could be felt coming from different directions, most ca from the direction of the Portal Location.
I guess he finally decided to call every Transcendents here at this place.
To answer that, through the crystal I gave them, I ssaged Yuko and the others to co. Their six-hour absorption session for the day has ended an hour ago and I told them to stand by.
The final showdown amongst the Transcendents in this world will soon pull its curtains up.
However, before all that… It's ti to infiltrate their camp and fish out information.
As I went back to the tent where I rested with Irja, I called out to her, "Irja, wanna co with ?"
I sat at the edge of the soft improvised bed and caressed her smooth alluring face.
Since she got a taste of trying to compete for my ti, Irja nodded imdiately before asking, "Where to?"
"To the other side, of course. Let's go and check what's happening there." I took out the Orb of Concealnt which made her eyes shine with undisguised excitent.
Although I didn't use it during my ti in the Dark World, she's already aware of its effects.
As if a kid who would try a new ride, Irja instantly got up from our bed and eagerly waited for to activate the Orb.
This woman's cute side could erge at unexpected monts.
After sending a ssage to Raiden to inform him of our upcoming 10 minute trip behind enemy lines, I granted the excited girl's wish and activated the Orb to cover the two of us.
Soon afterward, we flew out of the Heavenly Lightning Tribe's camp and arrived in the middle of the enemy camp, undetected.

"Are you really going to rub it on my face that the Portal ho actually closed?! And what of Horon and the others? Dead?! What a f*cking useless wastrels! I should've controlled them instead!"
We had just landed but loud angry snarls of soone could already be heard even from the middle of this noisy camp.
After wordlessly conversing with Irja, we started moving closer to the source of the snarls. Not worrying about being detected, we clearly saw one Dark Beastmaster kneeling in front of the descendant, his face beyond recognition due to the huge boot prints visible on it.
This descendant… he already lost it if he started taking it out on his subordinates rather than his enemies.
This will be easy.
