Samantha's suggestion made everyone hesitate. But seeing that Manjimone was about to catch up to them, they weighed the pros and cons and nodded in agreement.
Although East Peak found this suggestion a little strange, after giving the matter some thought, he realized that his strength had weakened significantly due to the torrent of energy he had encountered when crossing floors and the continuous use of Forbidden Techniques. If she really fought Manjimone, there was a limit to how much damage she could do.
In the end, Manjimone would most likely go after the wizard who did the most damage to it, not her.
"What's the matter? We took the risk for you. In order to prevent the fortress from being destroyed, you're still hesitating?" Seeing that Dong Ming didn't respond, Samantha said coldly, "Do you really think that the destruction of the stronghold will benefit you in any way? Let me tell you, we can choose not to help. We can just sit back and watch! "
Samantha was trying to provoke her, and East Ocean knew it.
But Samantha was right. If they didn't help her, even if she managed to escape from Manjimone's pursuit, she would still suffer heavy losses.
Thinking of this, Dong Ming replied, "Alright, let's do that. Weaken it first, then drive it away. If it doesn't work, then whoever it chases will lead it away. "
East Ocean paused and looked at the others with a gloomy expression. "You better do as you said. Don't hide your strength."
If the others tried to hide their strength, Manjimone's hatred would still be on her, and Manjimone might even come after her.
Samantha sneered. "We're not going to be like some people. If they can't handle it themselves, they'll drag everyone in the fortress down with them."
Samantha then turned to Sennefer. "Let's begin. Keep it busy. It's best if you can kill it. "
As soon as she finished speaking, Samantha's entire body turned into countless mirrors. These mirrors were not parallel to each other. Instead, they twisted and intersected with each other. Any light that shone through them would be absorbed by the light.
"Mirror Labyrinth!" East Ocean exclaimed in her mind.
Mirror Labyrinth was a spell Samantha created when she became a truth-finder wizard. When the spell was completed, the sky turned into a mirror for three days and three nights. This was a miracle that was rarely seen in the entire southern region.
One could say that the Maze of Mirrors was Samantha's true trump card!
Seeing that Samantha's first attack was a powerful one, and that it was a spell with a large area of effect to weaken and attack, Dong Ming heaved a sigh of relief.
Now that Manjimone was shrouded in the Maze of Mirrors, and all his abilities were enhanced by the reflection of the mirrors. Almost instantly, Manjimone began to roar in anger, and at the same time, he immediately changed his target to Samantha.
While Samantha and Manjimoni were circling each other, Kanter closed his eyes and forcefully activated his bloodline, turning the dim sky into night. At the same time, Kanter turned into a shadow in the night, directly confronting Manjimoni!
In a short time, Kanter and Samantha worked together to deal a lot of damage to Manjimone.
Manjimone howled again and again as he passively took the beating!
Sunders didn't hold back either. The combination of Shadow of Nightmare and Kanter's Shadow of Night created a great effect. At the same time, countless Blackflame Nightmares were also attacking Manjimoni.
Everyone was sparing no effort, causing a trace of guilt to surface in Dong Yue's heart. Previously, she had suspected that this group of people would intentionally hold back, but now it seemed that she had misunderstood.
However, Dong Ming also noticed that Manjimone's target had shifted away from her and was now moving between Samantha, Kanter, and Sunders. Sunders was the most powerful of them all.
However, Sennefer was also attacking with all her might, but she didn't seem to be doing much damage.
Dong Ming sneered in her Spirit Bond, "A great witch of the wasteland lost to Mister Eventide in a melee? So the rumors are true after all." Sennefer didn't respond.
Instead, it was Samantha who spoke first. "Look at yourself first. You're the one who's all bark and no bite."
With Samantha's provocation, Dong Ming also used some of her strength, and Manjimone also began to pay attention to her.
East Ocean looked at Sennefer again, his eyes full of disdain.
Kanter explained, "Sennefer ran into a powerful enemy on the first level of the surface. She went into the Valley of Everlasting Ice and got cursed by it."
Everyone agreed with Kanter's words. Dong Ming finally realized that Sennefer was not doing her best. She should have been weaker than Sunders, but right now, she was only able to fight as strong as a level-2 fighter.
Dong Ming didn't dare to mock Sennefer again.
They were in the midst of a fierce battle, and because everyone was working together to encircle and suppress them, even if Manjimoni released that huge AOE attack from before, they could still escape with their cooperation.
However, after hundreds of miles of the forest had turned into a lava pool, Manjimoni was bathed in the dazzling red lava. Although his overall speed had decreased, the intensity of his attacks had increased.
The more they fought, the more shocked they felt.
They were forced to the edge of the Forest of Critical Trees, and they could even see the shadows of the Stronghold's wizards. They couldn't do anything but watch the battle from afar.
If this continued, the Overwatch Stronghold would be exposed to Manjimoni's eyes once they passed through the Critical Forest.
"We can't!" Samantha panted. "I've almost used up half of my mana pool, but that thing is getting stronger. If we keep this up, we're going to leave the forest! By then, the Overwatch Stronghold will be in trouble! "
"I can't hold on much longer either. Activating the Night Bloodline and using all my trump cards is useless against this guy." Kanter was also in a sorry state. His eyes flashed with fear. "As expected of a former Demon Lord."
Sunders looked the same as before, but he couldn't defeat Manjimone all by himself.
"We're getting close to the Overwatch Base. Manjimone can't get rid of it. We need to prepare for the worst," Sennefer said.
"It used up a lot of energy, and I injured its leg, which slowed it down a lot. Since we can't fight it, let's lure it away from the base."
Samantha chimed in, "Hold on a little longer. I think it's going to create another lava pool. While it's creating the lava pool, we'll teleport away. Let's see who Manjimoni chases and who will lead it away from the Overwatch Bastion! "
Samantha paused. "I believe you won't break your promise, right?"
Samantha was referring to Dong Ying. Dong Ying humphed. Manjimone was indeed slowed down. If he really wanted to chase after it, he could just lead it away. Besides, even if he brought Manjimone to the Overwatch Base, it was no longer necessary. He would only offend more people.
Besides, Dong Ying didn't think Manjimone would actually chase after them. Although she had fought fiercely before, she had actually held back. According to a demon's character, it would definitely go after the person who had caused it the most damage.
Dong Ying glanced at Sunders. As expected of the "God of War" of the southern wizardry region. He was so strong that she couldn't help but feel jealous.
Thinking that Manjimone was most likely going after Sunders, Dong Ming nodded. "Sure, I'm fine with that."
"I see." Samantha watched as Manjimone raised his hand again. A giant mushroom cloud of fire already appeared. Samantha spoke to everyone, "Prepare to cancel the Spirit Bond. Good luck, everyone!"
In the next second, everyone's Spirit Bond was undone. At the same time, everyone used the Body Flicker Technique to escape from Manjimoni's red light.
The trees around them instantly turned into nothingness.
The area within dozens of kilometers turned into a pool of boiling lava!
At this time, Dong Yue appeared in the southeast. She looked back at the other areas and found that everyone had used the Body Flicker Technique. They immediately turned and ran, obviously trying to avoid being noticed by Manjimoni.
Dong Ying didn't hesitate either. She concealed all her aura and ran away.
Ten minutes later, Dong Ying began to curse in her mind. They all used Blink to escape, but Manjimone chased after her! Why?!
Could it be that someone else had cheated? Dong Ying quickly dismissed the doubt. If it was true, all four of them couldn't have used Blink at the same time. Besides, she didn't notice them working together.
Perhaps it was really her bad luck.
Dong Ying couldn't help but curse in her mind. Was today her unlucky day?
Either way, Dong Ying chose the southeast direction. She couldn't return to the Overwatch Base even if she wanted to. Besides, she had already promised to keep her promise. If she went back on her word, the Moonfrost Union would never let her go.
Dong Ying had no choice but to keep running. Fortunately, Manjimone's speed was greatly reduced in the previous battle. Besides, Howling Plain was a good place to run.
…
Outside the Overwatch Base, Sennefer and the rest of the team gathered again.
They didn't say anything, but they all looked at Dong Ying's direction and began to mourn.
"As expected, we shouldn't provoke the Pilgrim of Misfortune. This is also fate. There were so many directions to choose from, but Dong Ming chose the Howling Demon Plain." Kanter's tone sounded sympathetic, but it was mostly filled with schadenfreude.
"With her current level of misfortune, she'll probably go to Silent Coast instead of Howling Plain." Samantha sneered.
If that was the case, everyone began to wonder what Dong Ying's chances of survival would be.
After all, this was the same route the Pilgrim of Misfortune had taken.
Dong Ying, who didn't know what was going on, would probably be tainted with even more misfortune. When that happened, even a truth-finder like Dong Ying could die.
"Dong Ying and the demon both left the Overwatch Base. Mission accomplished." Sennefer let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to meditate. I'm exhausted." Samantha turned around and left without hesitation.
Sennefer followed. "I'm hurt. I'm going to leave too."
Previously, they had really gone all out to attack Manjimone. Their initial thought was that it would be good if they could kill or drive Manjimone away. If they couldn't kill him, then with East Sea's bad luck, Manjimone wouldn't chase after them.
That was why Dong Ying had fallen into a trap from the very beginning.
Even if the others went all out, Manjimone would still go after Dong Ying due to his misfortune.
Now that there was nothing to worry about, they wouldn't hold back. Dong Ying's doubts were dispelled.
