67: Raiders

On the other side, Minotaur Kote, currently facing five Peak Sky Knight Experts whose Auras were slightly stronger than his own, knew there was no way he could escape.

But he was unwilling to die unjustly for no reason. After all, he had spent countless hours Cultivating to reach his current strength. He quickly raised his hand and gestured around:

“Wait a moment, five of you. I believe you are not people from the Kate Kingdom, are you!

We should have no past grudges. Did you perhaps mistake me for someone else?

Our current territory is the Orc Royal Court. Killing me without cause like this will only offend the Legendary Expert behind me! I hope you all consider this carefully?”

Kote's words started with an explanation and ended with a subtle threat.

A normal person might weigh the pros and cons, but Victor and the others were specifically targeting him, so Victor simply replied:

“We are here to kill you. As for your Orc Legendary, it will take at least an hour for him to rush over. By then, we will have vanished without a trace!”

Then, without waiting for Kote to reply, he stated firmly:

“Attack!”

Facing five people stronger than himself, the moment Victor and the others attacked, Kote fell into an extremely perilous situation.

Because he possessed the Earth Element, his speed simply couldn't match Victor and the others, who possessed the Lightning Element, forcing him to stand still and passively defend.

Since Victor and the others wanted to capture him alive and use Kote as Arthur's next copied commodity, they did not directly unleash powerful Battle Techniques.

They merely relied on their speed to gang up on him, gradually worsening his injuries.

Thus, a peculiar sight appeared in the sky: five individuals, their bodies flashing with lightning, swiftly and fiercely attacked the five-meter-tall Minotaur glowing with yellowish-brown light in the center.

One second after the fight began, Kote was injured, and half a minute later, he was covered in blood and severely wounded!

He was then, without a doubt, captured alive by the five people!

In fact, if Kote had fully unleashed his power, he could have held out for another minute or two, as his own strength was also at the Peak of the Sky Knight level!

It was just that he realized early in the fight that Victor and the others did not intend to take his life. With hope of survival in his heart, he naturally didn't want to fight desperately.

Therefore, he didn't resist much and allowed Victor and the others to capture him!

Afterward, Victor and the others used a Secret Technique capable of Sealing strength, completely turning Kote, who already lacked resistance, into a brute relying only on his Physical Body strength.

Even if Kote's injuries heal now, as long as he doesn't Break through the Seal, relying purely on his Physical Body, he would at most be equivalent to an Earth Knight-level Expert.

Because without Battle Qi, he couldn't even fly.

After confiscating the Spatial Bracelet from Kote's hand, they assigned one person to guard him, and the remaining four headed toward the continuously wailing Orc Legion.

Upon approaching, Victor and the others looked down from the sky at the Meteorite Crater, which was at least a thousand meters in diameter, with a lot of hot magma still inside.

Seeing this terrifying scene, Victor and the others fully realized the horror of the Legendary level, and understood even more clearly that they should not stay here long.

Otherwise, it would be bad if the Orc Legendary arrived!

So, after a brief moment of emotion, the four rushed down towards the Orcs below.

Killing the other Orcs was merely incidental, but any Orc found with Spatial Equipment was definitely killed.

Because having Spatial Equipment meant it must contain a lot of wealth, and money was what Arthur needed most.

Fifteen minutes later, the Experts in the Orc Legion who possessed Spatial Equipment were almost all killed.

Seeing this, Victor and the others did not linger either. They immediately took the defenseless Minotaur Kote and flew toward an uninhabited area.

Victor and the others could not return to Arthur's location yet.

The commotion caused by the Meteor Shower was too great. Afterward, not only would the Orc Experts come, but the Kate Kingdom Experts would definitely rush over as well.

If they headed toward the Kate Kingdom, they might run into Experts coming to investigate. The priority now was to hide and avoid the spotlight... Rewinding time by ten minutes, when the massive rock summoned by the Meteor Shower Magic struck the border between the two countries.

While not the entire Orc Royal Court and Kate Kingdom detected the abnormality, at least several provinces along the border of both countries felt the tremor.

At the same time, the two Legendary Experts of the Orc Royal Court and the Kate Kingdom both rushed out from their Seclusion Spots in their Royal Capitals.

The sudden emergence of their Ancestors from Seclusion greatly astonished both Royal Families, who quickly stepped forward to ask what had happened.

“There is a fluctuation of Forbidden Curse Magic. I will go investigate first. All of you wait quietly!”

After the two Legendaries used similar words to calm the members of the Royal Family, they transformed into streaks of light several times faster than a Sky Knight and headed towards the site of the meteorite fall.

It must be known that neither the Kate Kingdom nor the Orc Royal Court possessed a Legendary Mage, so the appearance of Forbidden Curse Magic likely meant that Experts from other powers had appeared within the two countries.

This was not good news. After all, the two countries were not considered powerful on the Continent of Gods—only mid-tier—and could not withstand too many upheavals.

While the two Legendaries were rushing towards the meteorite impact site.

The people of Initial City, who were originally celebrating the repulsion of the Orcs, also felt the unusual tremor beneath their feet.

Initial City was only two hundred li away from the meteorite impact site, and everyone could vaguely sense the violent surge of magical energy in the distance.

They rushed to high places in shock to look into the distance, but unfortunately, the distance was too great to see anything clearly.

But since the magical surge and the strange tremor occurred almost simultaneously, something must have happened.

The celebration was paused. After Sky Knight Flynn instructed everyone to stay inside the city and not go out, he also hurried off to investigate the situation.

Now everyone was filled with curiosity!

Only Arthur knew what had happened, so he wasn't worried about the strange phenomenon in the distance.

He was just secretly anticipating how much income Victor and the others' actions would bring him this time.

Would it be one hundred million Gold Coins, two hundred million Gold Coins, or even more!

Sky Knight Flynn, being the closest to the incident site, was the first to arrive.

Standing on a high vantage point, Flynn looked at the tragic scene below. The Orc Legion, which had nearly 1.6 million soldiers half a day ago, now numbered less than a million.

Most importantly, the Experts within the Orc Legion had been almost completely wiped out, and even Minotaur Kote, the opponent whose strength was comparable to his, had vanished!

“Something big has happened!”

This thought suddenly popped into Flynn's mind. Everything else was minor; even the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Orcs didn't matter much.

However, Kote's disappearance was no small matter for the Orc Royal Court. They only had four Sky Knights in total, and losing one was a huge blow to their overall strength.

The Orcs might become enraged because of this and start a war with the Kingdom, but the Kingdom was not fully prepared for such a war right now, and it would only result in mutual destruction!

Furthermore, if the Kingdom had taken action to cause such a massive commotion, he would surely have known about it, and the Orcs wouldn't engage in self-slaughter to this extent.
