"Adam and the others lost?"
I paused in surprise.
Splitting up into two groups and ambushing both sides wasn't because I was intentionally being arrogant. It was a decision I had made after careful planning.
The Chaos War God's incarnation had been a four-person team consisting of Adam, Marguerite, Little Red, and Harloys. Every single one of them had actual combat strength above that of an ordinary human SemiGod. They were all veterans with several hundred years of combat experience. It should have been quite easy for them to deal with a God's incarnation.
In fact, our side's combat strength was actually rather lacking. I was the only one leading the little rascals to fight against a world boss … If my ice shield and ice armor were unable to defend against Salor's special ability, then we would call it a tactical retreat, which was actually a method of fleeing in order to stall for as much time as possible.
It had to be said that the possibility of this happening was quite high. Absolute Ice was highly resistant to special abilities. However, its material was no different from ordinary ice. With Salor's brute strength, he could easily shatter a pebble by tossing it at Salor.
Salor hadn't done this before probably not because he hadn't thought of it, but rather because he couldn't do it.
"This bug-like ability will definitely have its limits. Why don't we just toss out a pebble and set the pebble's mass to be infinite or super large? That way, whoever we toss at will die. Not only that, he can use his ability to control mass and gravity to fly an entire mountain range. Then, he can cancel his ability and crush anyone he touches … Could it be that Buddha Tathagata is the complete version of Salor? "
Salor was just as I had guessed. In fact, he was even easier to deal with than I had expected. Salor's weapons couldn't leave his body. He couldn't even kick away pebbles. Any object that came into contact with his skin or weapon would naturally stick to him. And this "stickiness" was something that Salor himself was unable to dispel.
"Perhaps his true ability isn't as powerful as I expected. It's not that he's able to change the object's mass. It's that he's temporarily fused with that object, just like how alcohol is mixed into water. When the two fused into one, he added his own special ability … That's why he can only use his ability on objects that are connected to his skin. He can't change that object's location, just like how nobody can pull themselves up by their hair."
If Salor was able to break free from this restriction, he would probably be at the level of a Devil Lord at the very least.
The advantage of being a veteran powerful individual was that they had stable combat experience. However, they lacked explosive power. Salor's special ability had been seen through. Plus, Salor's special abilities had been set up to deal with this.
"A bunch of ants dares to challenge me …"
Unfortunately, no matter how furious he was, he was unable to escape the encirclement.
The adventurer team that surrounded him was always at the edge of his alert range. However, the killing weapons that suddenly flew over, the cold ice spears and ice arrows, became more and more deadly.
Every time Salor tried to forcefully break through, that Fallen Angel would always appear next to him. That huge, scorching sword that burned with gray flames was not easy to defend against.
As for the Purgatory Centaur that was constantly jumping around on the roof, it was even more dangerous. Its dim yellow eyes seemed to have double pupils. It was clearly in a blind spot behind the wall, but its ice arrow was able to turn and shoot towards it. It was obviously a godly archer.
Every second, Salor would have to spend a large amount of energy on defending against the Purgatory Centaur's arrows. Salor wished that he could use his eyes four times at the same time, making him even more mentally and physically exhausted.
However, in Salor's mind, the most dangerous individual of all was still Roland.
A person's reputation was like a tree's shadow. Roland's past achievements in battle had made his name known to the lower planes of the Chaos Abyss. However, none of Roland's many glorious titles and past achievements could compare to Roland's natural status … Roland was the older brother of the Chaos Abyss Prince Cavendish, an existence that had once been on equal footing with Cavendish.
Cavendish L had given the Chaos Abyss so many headaches. Naturally, Roland's older brother, Roland L, would receive the same level of attention.
Salor had already suffered at Roland's hands. Even though he saw that Roland seemed to be slacking off, he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all. If he spent 30% of his energy on defending against the archers, he would spend at least 40% of his energy on defending against Roland. However, the more nervous he was, the more tired and anxious he became.
Salor knew that being anxious would only bring more trouble. However, he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all. He became even more nervous.
"Wolf pack tactics …"
Vicious wolves would usually move out in packs. However, they would rarely use their advantage in numbers to directly suppress their prey. After they trapped their prey, they would often circle around their prey in order to avoid any losses. They would constantly harass their prey, causing their prey to lose focus and stamina due to being on guard for a long time. Finally, the moment their prey relaxed, their harass attacks would transform into a fatal attack. The exhausted prey would be freed, and the vicious wolf behind them would bite off their necks.
The wolf pack tactic of surrounding and not attacking wasn't a rare or difficult tactic. Bandits and Corpse Eaters in the mortal plane were just as skilled at using this tactic. However, this was the most suitable tactic for battle at a time like this. This tactic made things quite difficult for Salor. He was unable to run away even if he wanted to, nor was he able to catch up if he wanted to. Salor's wounds kept accumulating, but he didn't even have the chance to exchange wounds for wounds.
Should he kill the "alpha wolf" to deal with the encirclement? The alpha wolf was far stronger than the little wolf. Not only that, the alpha wolf was hiding in a safe location to threaten Salor. For Salor, just being able to escape from the "alpha wolf"'s threat was already an extravagant hope.
Salor's heart was burning with anxiety. He knew that Roland had already discovered all of his weaknesses. If he was stalled here without reinforcements, it was likely that he would be exhausted to death. Sooner or later, he would bleed his last drop of blood dry on this land.
On the other hand, even though I clearly had the advantage, I was unable to feel happy about it.
"It would seem that we won't be able to take down Salor either …"
Even though my current plan was effective, I was just as anxious as Salor. I had chosen to kite Salor's group because I had considered that Adam's group would have a higher chance of victory. As long as I could stall Salor until reinforcements arrived, their chances of victory would naturally be even higher.
"But Adam's group is actually at a disadvantage. How much longer can Casio's group last …?"
Even though Harloys's incarnation told me about the dangerous situation on the battlefield, I wasn't in a hurry to save Casio's group. I was still two blocks away. By the time I arrived, it would likely be too late. And the moment I left, not a single one of Casio's group would survive.
Our new companions weren't in a good situation. Apart from the fact that they were far weaker than Salor, their ice armor that seemed mighty and domineering was actually constantly draining the user's stamina. The ice armor's temperature was low for an extended period of time, and their bodies were constantly heating up. This was the most fatal combination of cold and heat.
And even without considering all this, the frostbite on their arms and joints would sooner or later force them to drop their weapons.
Although I didn't know how much longer Casio's group could last, Adam's group would definitely collapse first if they didn't do anything. After all, their opponent was …
"Chaos War God Donatis actually sent his true body into the mortal plane? Is he that free? He even disguised his true body as an incarnation. What's so important that he's feeling so aggrieved? "
That's right, the reason why Adam's group of top-level SemiGods couldn't even defeat a Main God's incarnation was because that wasn't a Main God's incarnation, but rather a Main God's true body!
Not only that, Donatis had personally taken action, and had even disguised himself as an incarnation in order to reduce the attention of others …
At this moment, it seemed as if all the clues connected. I suddenly raised my head and asked my own suspicions.
"Casio, just what did you discover? Even a Main God personally took action? Tell me the truth! Right now! "
My words caused the adventurers to pause in surprise. They exchanged glances as if they couldn't decide what to do.
The next instant, Casio was the first to make a decision. He gritted his teeth and also told me this important secret.
"Your Highness Roland, we met a human in the sixth level of the Chaos Abyss, a human who came from outside …"
