At the same time, hundreds of kilometers away, Ashes was still chasing after Ovenn. After chasing for more than ten minutes, both parties were already far away from the battlefield where Han Xiao and the others were and were about to reach the location of the Teleportation Mage.
After Anur's death, the situation on the battlefield had been reversed. The Dark-star warriors had become the prey, and no one had the time to send a message. Thus, Ashes had no idea about the sudden situation on the battlefield. In his impression, Anur was definitely still playing with those mercenaries who were in the way.
He was not worried about Anur's safety at all. When he first joined Dark-star as a child, Anur was already a high-level Calamity Grade combatant in the organization. He had been taught by Anur since he was young, so he was very clear about how strong his teacher Anur was.
Since Anur had taken the initiative to stay behind and delay, he definitely had absolute confidence. Although his teacher seemed to be a little disappointed in him recently, these were all details that did not need to be bothered. Ashes was full of confidence in Anur. With Nagojin's speed, he would not even be able to touch the corner of his teacher's clothes. How could he lose?
Even if he really could not win, with his teacher's speed, he would be able to escape as he wished.
Now that there was no news, did it not mean that everything was under control and there was no need to inform him?
That was what Ashes thought.
In order to not attract attention, Ashes dispersed the huge black cloud of carbon particles and only let the particles surround him. Ovenn was still flying in the aircraft, and the two of them maintained a distance.
Ovenn looked back frequently, and sweat appeared on his forehead. "We're almost there. When we stop, we only have about ten seconds to move, and then he will catch up. If we can't complete the teleportation in ten seconds, we're dead."
Aroshia tilted her head, thought for a moment, and corrected him. "Not us. Only you will die."
"… Thank you for the reminder!"
Ovenn gritted his teeth.
How infuriating!
The Teleportation Mage's shop was in sight, and Aroshia suddenly remembered. "Right, he was beaten up last time, so he might have moved away."
Ovenn: "…"
Bang!
The aircraft slammed on the brakes and crashed into the wall of the bookstore, creating a large hole. The bookshelves that were in the way were all smashed into pieces, and the shredded papers were like exploding fireworks, floating in the air.
The two of them jumped down halfway and landed in the messy bookstore. Time was of the essence, so there was no time to park the aircraft and knock on the door.
The counter at the door was also sent flying. Yi Xuan was sitting on a chair with a book in his hands, staring blankly at the scene in front of him. He still hadn't come back to his senses. His face had an expression of 'Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?'
My shop collapsed as soon as I opened my eyes?!
Aroshia pointed at Yi Xuan. "It's him."
"That's great, he's still here." Ovenn heaved a sigh of relief. He looked up at the big hole and said awkwardly, "At least it's quite airy."
Yi Xuan opened his mouth and looked at Aroshia. "I know you. You're with the mercenaries who beat me up last time."
"I need your help. Please send us to the Northern Spaceport quickly. Money is not a problem." Ovenn didn't dare to delay and said directly.
Yi Xuan was stunned. He looked down at the shredded papers on the ground and finally reacted. His whole body shook, and the book in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter. It was as if a dagger had stabbed into his heart. He was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.
"This is my life's collection!"
Ovenn was anxious. Why would he care about these broken books at a time like this? He quickly said, "We're being chased by someone who kills without blinking. He belongs to Dark-star. If you don't take us away, he'll kill you too. I'm from Godora. I'll pay you a high service fee and compensate you for all your losses. There's no time, hurry up and cast the spell!"
Looking at the sky through the hole, Ashes' figure was rapidly approaching. He would enter his attack range in two seconds. At that time, he would be able to kill Ovenn with a snap of his fingers.
Ovenn broke out in cold sweat. He looked nervously at the hesitant Teleportation Mage. They hadn't discussed this before, so he didn't know if the Mage in front of him would help. This was their only hope of escaping.
At this time, Aroshia said, "My friend said that if you don't help, he'll come and find you again."
Hearing this, Yi Xuan didn't say anything and directly opened the portal. The whirlpool-like blue light filled the surroundings with the Radiance of magic.
Ovenn was overjoyed and rushed in. Yi Xuan didn't dare to delay either. He didn't want to stay and use the Mage's delicate body to face the fury of the pursuer.
Hum —
With a flash of light, the portal closed and the three of them disappeared without a trace.
Ashes rushed in and saw this scene. His expression suddenly changed. His face was full of dark clouds and he was furious.
He actually lost them again!
He thought that Ovenn was at his wit's end. He didn't know that there was a Teleportation Mage hidden in the city.
If it weren't for Aesop, the Han Technician wouldn't have known that there was a hidden Teleportation Mage, and this tactic wouldn't have been able to be carried out. Now, this information played a crucial role. At that time, Han Xiao also didn't expect to be involved in a Dark-star traitor's pursuit.
Ashes looked at the empty room and couldn't help but clench his fists. Only a Mage who was also proficient in Teleportation could track the traitor. At this time, the traitor had escaped to another place and lost the trail. He couldn't chase after him.
He wondered if he was having bad luck recently. How could he always encounter unexpected situations? He even failed a mission that was almost guaranteed to succeed. Teacher Anur was probably going to die of anger.
Ashes sighed and took out the communicator to contact Anur. The operation had failed. He had to send the information back as soon as possible. Everything had to be planned.
Buzz …
The communicator flashed and Anur's face appeared on the screen. He frowned and said, "Did you succeed?"
Ashes shook his head and explained the situation.
"You're really useless!" Anur was furious.
Ashes's body stiffened. He was a little embarrassed. This was the first time he was scolded. It seemed like his teacher was really angry.
"Where do you think the traitor escaped to?"
"I don't know. There are no clues," Ashes replied.
"If they escaped on a spaceship, it would save us a lot of trouble," Anur said.
Ashes nodded. Dark-star's fleet was already on high alert around Noriose, ready to intercept at any time. As long as the traitor tried to escape on a spaceship, he would be surrounded by the fleet.
"How's the situation on your side?" Ashes asked.
"Hmph, the situation is in a stalemate. Come back quickly. I've stalled the enemy. As long as you can arrive in time, we can work together to get rid of Godora and Black Star's mercenaries. If we can't catch the traitor, we'll get rid of this group of enemies first."
"Okay!"
Ashes's eyes lit up. He turned back and headed in the direction he came from, rushing to meet up with Anur. When he thought about getting rid of Black Star, his gloomy mood brightened up.
…
The protective shield was still performing its duties, isolating this area. However, the situation had become one-sided. Dark-star's soldiers were continuously defeated, falling one after another.
In the middle of the ruins, Anur ended his communication with Ashes and turned off the communicator. He tapped his cheek, and a matrix-like circuit flashed across his face. His appearance quickly changed, revealing Han Xiao's face.
After taking off his face simulator, Han Xiao rubbed his face and looked at Nagojin. "I've lured him back, and I have good news. Ovenn has successfully escaped."
Nagojin laughed heartily with a satisfied expression. He cracked his knuckles and said, "Beautiful. My fist is not full yet."
Han Xiao nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. Acting was very tiring. After Anur died in battle, he picked up the communicator and instantly thought of a use for it.
Dark-star only had one Calamity Grade Super left, Ashes. The balance of power was finally tipped. Although Ames's Character Summon Card had been used, Nagojin was also very strong. With him, they might be able to turn the tables and surround Ashes. The only problem was whether Ashes knew what was going on. If he knew, he would definitely retreat.
Coincidentally, Ashes' call request came through the communicator. Han Xiao immediately took out his face simulator, scanned Anur's corpse, and disguised himself as him. He used his tone to test Ashes.
While acting, Han Xiao was sweating profusely. After all, he did not know what Anur's usual tone was like. Thus, he carefully observed Ashes' reaction and came to the conclusion that Ashes respected Anur very much.
Ashes did not doubt Han Xiao's words and did not notice the small differences. Thinking about it, this was normal. Only when Anur died would others be able to obtain his communicator.
In Ashes' eyes, this was impossible, so he was kept in the dark.
"Not only that, his reaction allowed me to confirm one thing. There is indeed a Dark-star fleet waiting in ambush outside the atmosphere." Han Xiao took out his communicator, tried to contact Aroshia, and said to Nagojin, "I didn't expect to be able to kill a Calamity Grade enemy. This way, we have more room to maneuver. The pursuit team is almost completely wiped out, so we don't have to take the risk of sending Ovenn away."
Nagojin thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded in agreement.
A rigid plan was ultimately not as good as improvisation.
This time, the Guardian who was waiting at the side walked up, looked down at Anur's corpse, and sighed heavily with a face of regret. "You guys actually killed him. Sigh, if not for his attack, I wouldn't have been one step slower."
The two of them immediately looked at each other.
This person is extremely vengeful!
Wonderful, wonderful!
The Guardian pretended to be regretful for a while before turning to look at the two of them. His gaze was focused on Han Xiao, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable surprise.
After pausing for a while, he did not say anything and slowly retreated. The people from Dark-star were already dead, so he had no intention of interfering.
Seeing that Anur was on the verge of death, if he were to interfere now, Godora would think that he was deliberately obstructing him. Thus, he changed his mind and gave up on the rescue.
It was so f * cking difficult to stay neutral.
Nagojin retracted his gaze, looked at Han Xiao, and asked hesitantly, "Your ability just now … seems to be related to the Dragon Emperor?"
This question had always been in his heart, and he only had the chance to ask now. He knew that his feeling was not wrong. The power just now was definitely at the level of a Beyond Grade A. Why was Black Star able to use the ability of the Dragon Emperor? What was their relationship?
If this information was sent back to the War Bureau, the intelligence department would probably have to reevaluate Black Star's position on Floating Dragon.
"Nothing, I just did some small work."
Han Xiao waved his hands with a humble expression.
Nagojin's gaze became even more serious. A few days ago, he had felt that the chances of this mission were very slim. Even with the help of Han Xiao, his pessimism had not been reduced by much. However, the effect that Han Xiao had played was far beyond his imagination.
If not for Anur's corpse lying beside him, he would never have believed that he would be able to kill one of the Calamity Grade Supers while being attacked by two of them at the same time.
Two against one, and he had been killed instead.
The sounds of battle around them gradually became sparse, which meant that there were fewer and fewer Dark-star warriors. The environment was a mess.
Han Xiao said with a deep voice, "Let's stop chatting. The battle is not over yet. The people from Dark-star are still alive. Get rid of them quickly before Ashes returns. Don't leave a single one behind."
…
Swoosh!
The Battleship Slicing Blade sliced open Sherman's flesh and cut him into two.
Herlous took a deep breath and put away his weapon. After fighting for a long time, he finally killed this Dwarf Cannon Master. After the enemy's morale collapsed, so did their courage. Herlous killed the enemy in one go.
Just as he was about to leave, his footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned around and walked to Sherman's corpse. He picked up the huge gun that had fallen and weighed it in his hands.
"Black Star should like this kind of spoils of war."
Carrying the huge gun on his shoulder, Herlous left the scene.
…
Bang!
Sinesa's brain exploded into a pile of minced meat. She fell to the ground, and her body was still twitching instinctively.
Chen Xing rubbed her throat that was hoarse from singing loudly, closed her eyes, and healed the damage to her mind. The enemy was not weak either, and she had exhausted a lot of energy.
"Fu Ding, I saved your life. Your body will be my reward," Chen Xing said with a snort.
Fu Ding in her mind smiled helplessly and did not reply.
Chen Xing looked up at the protective shield. Her eyes flashed, and she mumbled to herself, "I can't get out now. I can only pretend that Fu Ding is in contact with those mercenaries. As long as I'm not seen through, I can escape when I can move freely."
She wanted to hide the fact that the controller of her body had changed. It was not difficult to pretend to be Fu Ding. Her senses were connected to Fu Ding's, and she knew Fu Ding's habits like the back of her hand. It was enough for her to be a hundred percent similar.
Thinking of Han Xiao, the culprit, Chen Xing's mood worsened.
However, as long as she could fool this guy, she would be free.
