Chapter 468 Avoid a Useless Battle If You Can
Wyba took out her wings and started to fly high in the sky, but the height didn’t surpass that of the huge trees in the area.
Even Wyba knew that flying too high could let others notice about her and she wasn’t sure if there were more enemies.
There was a flying restriction in that dimension, just like happened with the divine sense, so only those like Wyba with the natural capacity to fly could do it.
Yale already noticed about that time ago, so he was confident that Wyba would be able to avoid danger.
At the same time, Yale also spread his wings. He hadn’t used them in a long time because flying wasn’t an issue with his level, but in that dimension, those wings proved to be a great advantage, so Yale was willing to exploit that advantage.
Yale didn’t fly high, but just barely enough to avoid the attacks of his enemy.
It seemed that seeing them fly awakened some kind of beast instinct on their opponent because he was just trying to catch them with his body without using any skill.
Any opponent smarter than that one would have just used long-range attacks and Yale would have been forced to battle frontally to protect Wyba.
Just as Yale guessed, the clue for the victory was in using the lack of intelligence of the opponent.
After starting to fly, Yale sued his weapon formation without any hesitation.
Even against a stupid opponent, there was no way that Yale could underestimate his strength.
The weapons hit the opponent several times, but he seemed to have thick skin because he wasn’t injured at all.
Wyba was attacking from the sky, but it was also useless to harm the stupid man.
However, the attacks were distracting him, so Yale was also completely unharmed.
Yale felt truly powerless against that opponent and was giving thanks that at least it was a brainless opponent.
As for the pure energy, Yale had been unable to use it at all after he appeared in that dimension.
It wasn’t the dimension blocking it, but that Yale had used too much previously, and his body wasn’t able to endure more in a short time, so the pure energy didn’t appear to help him. The danger of using it surpassed the one Yale was facing.
That battle continued for several days, and the big man still didn’t notice about what to do to beat them, so nothing changes since the battle started.
Although Yale didn’t know about it, he was using the same strategy than Alter Yale and the Battle God to deal with the invaders.
The difference was that Yale didn’t know that his opponent had limited energy and would end up dying anyway after it was exhausted.
Of course, with the low spend of the energy of that battle, it would be a long time before it happened.
While Yale and Wyba battled against that man, the next ones to meet were Shiba and Eini thanks to a way Eini created to track Shiba’s position, which still worked in that dimension despite having its effects lowered.
She had also met an enemy on her way to meet Shiba, but she used one of her trump cards to erase her presence until the enemy left, so she wasn’t noticed at all.
When Shiba learned that there were some invaders inside the dimension, he went to hide followed by Eini.
After all, Shiba didn’t have any confidence in surviving against someone comparable to an Origin God, and when he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t fight a useless battle if he could avoid it.
Of course, Shiba estimated the power of the enemies based on the attack that Yale blocked previously, but even if he knew that the enemies inside the dimension were the weakest kind of fifth level immortals, he would still act in the same way.
"Eini, let’s practice the Path that my master taught to us. If another essence isn’t created, we will be unable to continue training, but we need an increase of power in the current situation, or we will die once someone discovered us. We must take the risk."
Their Path would be unstable after that due to the lack of the essence, but at least their possibilities of survival in that situation would increase.
Both of them started to train in silence with their presences diminished to the minimum thanks to Eini’s trump card.
Since she used it, it was still effective to everything at some meters of her, so they would be safe until it was exhausted.
Of course, even with that trump card, when attacking someone or speaking, the effects of the trump card would be severely diminished.
Aiwai was following her connection with Yale’s soul to find him, but she felt that she was still very far, and since she didn’t know if there was any danger, she didn’t dare to fly.
Ange chose to hide hoping that someone of their group would find them since she didn’t have any method to find them. She didn’t know if there were any danger in that dimension or not, but with her power, she didn’t dare to test it.
Lina was running through the forests in the direction that Ange was. She had forced her sister to teach her about the tracking method Eini developed to track Shiba, and then Lina used it with Ange.
Wyba and Aiwai were linked to Yale’s soul, and Yale was strong, so the one in the most dangerous situation in the case that they were separated would be Ange. That was especially more given her situation.
Lina had only prepared that tracking method in case of having so much bad luck that they were separated, but she didn’t expect that situation to happen.
There was a lot of worry in Lina’s eyes. After all, she had long ago considered Ange as her own daughter and wouldn’t allow others to harm her.
Of course, Lina didn’t know at all about the invaders on the dimension, but since she didn’t know if the dimension was completely safe or not, she wouldn’t bet with Ange’s life.
The last member of the group was Terug who was also running at his fastest speed, but his face didn’t show any shock for the situation he was in that moment.
Terug looked to the item in his hand and sighed.
"In the end, this really happened. In this situation, the worst would be having some enemies here, so I should think that they are here. Fortunately, I am well prepared. I will fulfill my mission as I promised!"
Determination flashed in Terug’s eyes.
The item in his hand was the same he received from the Mysterious Expert and seemed to guide him in a particular direction.
After a whole month, the situation of everyone remained the same. Shiba and Eini were training in silence, Ange hiding, Lina looking for Ange, Aiwai looking for Yale, and Terug running to fulfill his mission.
The situation of Yale and Wyba hadn’t changed either despite battling for a whole month. Their opponent seemed angry which only made him even more stupid than before.
Wyba lost the count of how many ice spears she shot towards that man, and the same applied to arrows.
She had been attacking nonstop, but the damage remained as zero.
Yale had also been unable to harm his opponent, but he hadn’t tried any of his boldest methods using the Essence Slayer Sword.
He was sure that with that sword he would be able to harm the opponent but doing so will also put him in huge risk, and if something happened to him, Wyba would be doomed.
Usually, he wouldn’t mind being harmed in order to defeat his opponent, but if he failed, even though that man didn’t seem clever enough to go destroying the remnants of a soul, he would surely kill Wyba, which Yale couldn’t tolerate.
"It seems that I need to bet in that option. Maybe I will fail, but given his low intelligence is worth of trying."
Yale thought about that while he stabbed a lot of weapons on his opponent, who again, was unharmed.
Without stopping to attack, Yale started his crazy plan as he took off a huge piece of meat and started to cook it.
Doing that during a battle was too crazy, but their opponent only salivated while smelling it and didn’t try to stop Yale.
In his simple mind, he thought that he would have an extra piece of food, so there was no reason to stop Yale.
Of course, the attacks of Yale and Wyba were still as ineffective as before.
Although Yale seemed to be cooking, he was also using alchemy to add some special properties to the meat.
It would be easy for him to poison it with his control over the Death Essence, but in that case, the other party would notice it.
After all, Yale doubted that someone who cared so much about the food would be unable to notice about poisoned food.
After a while, Yale threw that piece of met with all his strength, and its fragrant aroma made the man jump to catch it.
He ate it quite quickly before screaming for de hell-level spiciness of that piece of meat.
It took him a few minutes to notice that he hadn’t been paying attention to Yale and Wyba and that the attacks had also stopped.
That piece of meat was a bait. Yale and Wyba had already fled.
