119: Chapter 119: Wasn't it supposed to be me coming out? Now it's your turn.

"You're crazy!" Ella shouted from twenty meters away.

The opponent had just insta-killed three people on their side in an instant. That level of strength was simply not something they could handle.

Instead of thinking about escaping at a time like this, he was actually provoking it.

If that wasn't crazy, what was?

"I'm not crazy!" Luo An shouted back, his tone carrying a hint of madness.

"Haven't you noticed yet?" Luo An continued to shout, "This guy has been wandering inside the building and refuses to come out... Its level is higher than ours, and inside the building, it has an absolute advantage."

"But outside, it knows it risks falling. It can't match us, so it doesn't dare to come out!"

Luo An's four eyes stared fixedly at the opponent.

It had happened twice already.

Every time the opponent reached the edge of the passage, it stopped, as if the outside were a boundless hell, not daring to take a single step out.

It was afraid of open areas.

It knew that once it came out, it could be distanced, kited, and eventually killed by D-Class Ability Users whose strength was inferior to its own...

So... he had to enrage it.

As long as they could lure the opponent out of the building and into the open square, they could slay it and achieve final victory.

Luo An took a deep breath, glanced around at everyone, and continued, "We've only lost three people; there are still nearly ten of us left! If other teams can kill it, why can't we?"

Ella's eyes flickered as she looked at the silent shadow standing still at the passage entrance.

She looked back at Luo An; blood was streaming from all four of his eyes, but they were filled with a desperate ruthlessness.

She grit her teeth.

"...I'll trust you this once."

With that, she nodded to the other two mages nearby.

The three of them retreated further back in a tacit understanding, reaching a position where the opponent wouldn't be able to discover them even if it came out immediately.

Then, they began to channel healing or Holy Light Spells in their hands again.

If that Nether Soul Clan member inside really was enraged and charged out, they would focus fire immediately and pin it to death on this square.

...

"..."

Watching the opponent's provocative gesture, Gu Changming fell silent.

He was truly envious; he really wished he had the same kind of courage.

After staring for a second or two, Gu Changming withdrew his gaze.

Forget it.

Better to be safe.

This twenty-meter field of vision was really uncomfortable; he couldn't see clearly how many people were actually outside.

It was like playing a game in Fog of War mode, while the other side had a full-map vision hack.

He knew nothing about the situation outside; he only saw that guy provoking him. Could there be fifty or sixty people lying in ambush out there?

In that case, if he really charged out, he might actually end up heavily injured.

Tsk.

Was this perception trait of the Nether Soul Clan assigned to them just because the entire race was extinct and they were grabbed to play the role temporarily?

Just as Gu Changming had almost convinced himself to play it safe.

The next second, he saw Luo An stand up from the ground, rip open his shirt, and expose his chest.

Then he raised his hand and used his fingertips to carve a harsh "X" onto the skin of his chest.

Gu Changming was stunned for a moment.

What did that posture and action mean?

You're just standing there? Waiting for me to kill you?

Hiss...

A distance of twenty meters, round trip, would take less than a second.

The Nether Soul Clan's traits also allowed for brief burrowing into the ground to temporarily avoid those healing and Holy Light Spells...

Adding some redundancy, even if the opponent had seventy people lying in ambush... he wouldn't linger in the fight; he'd strike and retreat.

Hmm... it should be fine. Taking a non-fatal injury in exchange for his life.

Logically, he shouldn't be so impulsive.

The best strategy should be to ignore the opponent's provocation and turn away.

But the opponent was just too courageous.

...

"It's coming!"

Luo An shouted. He could notice that the opponent had made some moves, and the energy fluctuations on its body had become hurried.

His plan had succeeded.

The opponent was enraged by him.

It was coming out!

Hearing Luo An's low shout, the hearts of all the Eclipse Clan members at the edge of the square and on the high points of the buildings instantly leapt into their throats.

At the same time, they were invigorated once more.

What happened just now was an accident.

It was unfavorable terrain and being caught off guard.

As long as it dared to step out of the building and enter this open hunting ground, they were confident they could slay it!

At this moment, gaze after gaze locked onto the passage entrance.

The light of spells condensed silently in their palms.

Both sides were ready.

Swoosh!

Gu Changming turned into a blurred gray shadow and instantly swept out of the passage. His speed was so fast that he even pulled a faint gray afterimage in mid-air.

Luo An's pupils constricted. Almost at the same instant Gu Changming moved, his toes slammed against the ground, using telekinesis to pull his body backward rapidly.

At the same time, he hissed out a command: "Do it!"

Before his voice had even faded.

In mid-air, nearly twenty blinding lights suddenly flared up!

The soft green light of Healing Spells, the blazing white light of Holy Light Spells, and several condensed beams of Purification light...

These were all pre-prepared spells. The moment Changming's figure was fully exposed above the square, they crashed down from all directions and angles, centered on him!

Light intertwined and energy boomed, instantly swallowing the gray shadow.

The intense light was so bright it was impossible to keep one's eyes open, and the aftershocks of the spell impacts kicked up a wave of air.

On the Eclipse Clan's side, excitement burst from their eyes as they stared fixedly at the center of the light explosion.

A direct hit!

Was the opponent dead?

However, as the light and flames quickly dissipated, that dark, translucent silhouette still stood there.

Grayish-white claws hung at its sides. On its misty body, the residual spell particles in the air occasionally landed on it, making a sizzling sound.

Yet, not a single trace of a spell hit could be seen on its body.

The torrent of spells that was enough to melt steel just now seemed like nothing more than a light breeze.

"Eh?"

Gu Changming was also stunned for a moment.

Wait, why are there only ten people outside?

The moment those spells attacked, he had judged the number and specific locations of the casters.

The numbers were... quite different from what he had previously imagined.

Just this many people?

Was all that psychological preparation just now for nothing?

If he had known they were planning to set a trap to surround and kill him with only this many people, he wouldn't have even bothered throwing a head to warn them earlier. He might have even... cooperated with them a little.

As for Luo An and the others, upon seeing this scene, they were now completely frozen, unable to even move their fingertips.

No... how is this possible?

Their attacks just now clearly all hit the target.

Under that kind of focused fire, the opponent should be riddled with holes, half-dead, and at their mercy by now.

What was going on now?

How could there be... not even a single wound on the opponent's body?

Gu Changming's "gaze" locked onto Luo An again. Now, he was in no hurry.

Then, he slowly raised a grayish-white claw and, mimicking Luo An's earlier action, gently beckoned toward him.

Didn't you want me to come out?

I've come out.

Now, it's your turn.
