Chapter 455: Chapter 453 Bold Ideas

The Winged Servant smiled with satisfaction, lifted his long spear, and aimed it at Wu Wang, who lay on the ground, ready to stab down.

But at that moment, the sound of fragmented footsteps arose. These footsteps were strange, including both the sound of octopus tentacles crawling on the ground and the tapping noise of a lobster’s claws hitting the surface.

After hearing this noise, the Winged Servant withdrew his spear and turned his head toward the direction of the footsteps, sensing a threat. This newcomer possessed the strength of the Disaster True Sequence!

Meanwhile, the other people at the scene, whose attention shifted with the Winged Servant’s, just noticed this new monster.

This bizarrely shaped creature slowly walked into the center of the battlefield, and it was the Devout Chanter.

Salphore revealed a trace of joy. With the Devout Chanter’s arrival, there was no need to hand over Wu Wang to that so-called Winged Servant anymore.

The Hidden Thorn pair felt a bad premonition rising. Two True Order Monsters from hostile forces had arrived, while their own True-order Master had yet to appear.

Everything had developed too quickly. It wasn’t even midnight yet; only a few hours had passed since the beginning of events.

Just one hour before, a True-order Master had started heading in this direction, but by the time he arrived, Hua Shan City could be devastated beyond recognition.

If these two newly appeared monsters started causing trouble, let alone stop them from harming commoners, the Hidden Thorn pair felt like they would hardly be able to save themselves, like clay Bodhisattvas trying to cross a river.

The Devout Chanter raised his head to look at the Winged Servant and uttered meaningless phrases. After listening, the Winged Servant immediately flared up in anger, and the atmosphere tensed up instantly.

Both monsters had their sights set on Wu Wang, one wanting to crush him to ashes, the other intending to take him away, naturally leading to friction.

The slightly plump Metal Frenzy’s eyes lit up, and clenching his fists, he waved them gently and whispered, "Fight, fight!"

The Devout Chanter turned his head and glared at Metal Frenzy, who then sullenly shut his mouth.

They were at a Y-shaped intersection. Hidden Thorn and Metal Frenzy stood together, the Devout Chanter and the Sea Tribe monsters stood together, and the Winged Servant stood alone on another path.

Although they appeared to be in a three-way stand-off, their demeanors were completely different. The Winged Servant was imperious, the Devout Chanter was as steady as an old dog, and the Hidden Thorn pair was trembling with fear.

...

After the Winged Servant flew away, the Rangers at the scene looked at each other. The arrival of a True Order Realm monster to reality was undoubtedly the worst-case scenario.

But they were on the other end of the city right now, with no way to reach the city center in time. Besides, with their strength, even if they did rush over, it would be nothing more than a death mission.

After hesitating for a while, Wen Wen immediately followed in the direction of the Winged Servant. As the only uninjured Ranger there, it was right for him to go for reinforcement.

However, as soon as Wen Wen left the sight of the other Rangers, he immediately teleported to the city center using a spatial marker he had set up earlier. He arrived near the scene even before Wu Wang and the Winged Servant, and he hid himself.

Seeing the three-party standoff, Wen Wen couldn’t help feeling anxious because the situation was clearly at a critical point now.

Unless the two monsters were determined to fight to the death and intentionally kept the battle contained, the lives in Hua Shan City were doomed. And to expect immediate rescue from the Association was even more unrealistic.

However, Wen Wen guessed that the two True Order monsters would fight. Although both aimed to capture Wu Wang, it was clear that the Devout Chanter’s side was more resolute.

That strange bird simply couldn’t afford to battle another monster of equal strength just to kill the one who had summoned it.

Therefore, there is a high probability that Wu Wang will eventually fall into the hands of the Devout Chanter, and when that time comes, the two temporarily allied monsters may initiate a massacre of the Demon Hunters and commoners present.

This is a situation Wen Wen can foresee, and it is the worst possible development.

Even if Wen Wen turns a blind eye out of a guilty conscience and watches the citizens of Hua Shan City needlessly sacrificed, once Wu Wang is brought to Oye Water City, Ensook will definitely recognize that this guy is not the target he’s been seeking.

He only needs to describe Wen Wen’s appearance to Wu Wang to easily shift the target onto Wen Wen, especially since Wen Wen, though he used a fake name at the time, did not disguise his appearance.

Therefore, Wen Wen must either kill Wu Wang or drag him out; otherwise, Wu Wang’s current fate will befall Wen Wen in the future.

But with Wen Wen’s strength, how could he reverse such a scene?

The strongest attack he can use is a remotely conducted Catastrophe Level attack, which not only has a certain delay but also wastes more than ninety percent of its strength in the transmission process and is hardly flexible.

It is completely unable to truly kill a True Order Monster, let alone drive it away!

Thus, to make them retreat, he must come up with a different approach...

After contemplating for several seconds, Wen Wen came up with a bold idea—to brazenly bring Wu Wang into the Sanctuary before the eyes of all!

Determined, Wen Wen immediately returned to the Sanctuary, found a dozen Puppet Rats, and started to lay out his plan...

The Winged Servant and the Devout Chanter, speaking in a language understood by no one else, began a complex exchange, and apart from the two of them, the rest of the monsters could only understand bits and pieces.

Although the tension in their words was escalating, it was clear that neither of them harbored the intention of fighting to the death with the other.

Eventually, just as Wen Wen had anticipated, after the Devout Chanter tossed something to the Winged Servant, the Winged Servant no longer insisted on killing Wu Wang. Instead, it turned its ferocious gaze toward Hidden Thorn and Metal Frenzy.

If it can’t kill the annoying ghost that summoned it, it might as well randomly kill someone else.

Metal Frenzy felt a bit queasy. It seems he might be in for it soon, should he start running now?

He turned to look back and let out a bitter smile, because the figure of Hidden Thorn had already vanished.

Although it felt like Hidden Thorn was still nearby, if it really came down to running, he was definitely no match for Hidden Thorn’s speed.

The Devout Chanter displayed a shriveled smile and with peculiar steps, walked toward Wu Wang. Among all those hunting Wu Wang, only he knew why Ancient God Ensook was so persistent in capturing him.

If it weren’t for this foolish human, Ancient God Ensook could have awakened months ago under the blessing of the Great Mother.

The next gathering is an unknown distance away, so the Water City of Oye will continue to languish until the day that is predestined.

Wu Wang did not know that even if he truly killed all those pursuing him, he could not quell the wrath of Ancient God Ensook!

"Come with me to meet Ancient God Ensook, where you will face judgment."

"Hey... suit yourself." Wu Wang had already lost hope of escape, so it didn’t matter to him; he might as well be put to death directly.
