Chapter 94 Counterattack

Max was dead, not even a corpse remained.

This outcome plunged the few of them into silence.

They were all high-level powerhouses, top experts from foreign transcendent worlds, possessing seven-star or even stellar-sequence transcendent professions.

One could even say they were the cream of the crop among geniuses in the transcendent world.

Although this time, their opponents were also formidable.

But in just a few seconds, one of their members had been taken out.

The strength of their opponents put pressure on them.

They were geniuses, but so what?

The transcendent world was full of geniuses and experts.

If they underestimated the enemy, they would surely be slain.

Even without underestimation, being ambushed still carried the risk of death.

The silence was tinged with gloom and oppression.

Kukaron swept his gaze around and broke the oppressive silence with a deep voice.

“Without a doubt, our opponents this time are very strong.”

“But this time, they had the advantage of surprise, and we didn’t know their methods, which led to Max’s death.”

“But that won’t happen again.”

As Kukaron spoke, everyone turned to look at him.

“They ambushed us; we can ambush them too.” Kukaron said with a low, murderous tone.

“But it won’t be easy to find them.” Himmel frowned slightly.

“That’s not a big problem. Since they fought here, I have ways to track their traces and find their location.” Kukaron said with certainty.

“But the issue is we need to know which of them is the biggest threat and adopt a strategy to kill him first.”

Kukaron’s gaze swept over Himmel and Ashly, who was recovering from her injuries.

After a moment’s thought, Himmel spoke softly.

“That Dragon Slayer, based on the methods and strength he’s shown, isn’t much of a threat. He has an advantage against dragon-type creatures, but against me, he has none.”

“On the other hand, that Time Hunter has some strange methods.”

“No!” Ashly suddenly interjected.

“The real threat is that Spellweaver.”

Huh? Spellweaver?

Everyone looked at her.

Under their gaze, Ashly spoke calmly.

“Normally, when someone targets us with a hidden attack, we can sense it slightly when it’s unleashed and even dodge accordingly.”

“But… that Spellweaver’s attack methods are bizarre. When he ambushes, even if the attack is unleashed, if we don’t notice it, we won’t sense it at all.”

“Take Max, for example. When the bullet pierced his head, we only felt the disturbance and realized we were under attack.”

“Some kind of perception-blocking ability.” Kukaron’s expression grew serious.

The well-traveled Kukaron immediately analyzed the ability.

“A troublesome method.”

“If we let this guy keep ambushing us, we’ll be the ones at a disadvantage.”

“Then… the first one we need to eliminate is that Spellweaver.”

Kukaron’s killing intent was exceptionally sharp.

“When my dagger pierces his head, he’ll regret coming to assassinate us.”

…

In a dragon habitat, inside a remote, dark, and quiet small passage.

At that moment, George had sealed off both sides with an interference nullification barrier.

The three of them sat cross-legged in silence.

“Luckily, Gune’s shot blew that guy’s head off, or I wouldn’t have been able to kill him.”

As he spoke, George placed the corpse of the sixth-rank mid-stage swordsman on the ground.

Gune unceremoniously used the puppet’s secret touch to contact the sixth-rank swordsman, then used the Blood Touch within his body as an engine to rapidly drain all the blood from the corpse.

This way, Gune could perfectly conceal the existence of the Blood Touch, a wondrous item.

“The taste is quite good, with an exotic flavor.” After draining all the blood in a dozen seconds, Gune nodded slightly.

“Even with his head blown open, that guy still tried to draw his sword and kill me.”

“With his head shattered like that, he still had the strength to counterattack. I have to say, these transcendent beings from foreign stars do have some skill.”

George recalled the scene and sighed.

“Indeed.” Zigurd nodded beside him.

“There are many transcendent beings above the stars, and even some transcendent worlds occasionally produce stellar-sequence beings like us.”

“It’s said that there are countless powerhouses above the stars.”

“But as we grow stronger, one day we’ll have the power to leave the transcendent world and roam above the stars.”

“Powerhouses above the stars?” Gune pondered inwardly.

Above the vast stars lay an even more expansive transcendent world.

Gune also wanted to become strong and see that broader world, to witness stranger sights.

“This time, we killed one of their sixth-rank mid-stage experts. They’ll be on high alert now, making ambushes difficult.”

“Of course, they’re more likely to use some detection, divination, scrying, or tracking methods to hunt us down.”

“Fortunately, we used George’s ability to erase our traces.”

“They won’t be able to find us.”

Just as the Dragon Slayer Zigurd said this with certainty,

Gune’s expression shifted slightly.

Then Gune looked around, activating both Source Power Vision and Dark Vision.

A quick glance revealed nothing.

“Though faint, I’m sure the enemy has used some method to spy on us.”

Then Gune looked at George and Zigurd.

Neither seemed to notice the deeply hidden scrying method.

“I wonder if they’re scrying from a distance, or…”

Gune narrowed his eyes.

The next moment!

As if time and fate intertwined in a cycle, a vision bloomed deep in Gune’s eyes.

Earlier, when Gune had severed most of his fate chains,

this “Eye of Fate,” which seemed to see everything, would occasionally manifest in Gune.

And when Gune had completely severed all fate chains some time ago,

he found that he had seemingly unlocked the “Eye of Fate” ability entirely.

Though using it left him exhausted,

as long as he kept it active for only a few seconds, the impact was minimal.

With the intertwining of time and fate,

the “Eye of Fate” in Gune’s eyes quietly bloomed.

Then.

Gune saw several powerful auras around them, using some special method to remain in extreme concealment, silently creeping up on the three hidden figures.

Earlier, Gune and the others had ambushed the enemy.

But now, these six enemies were turning the tables and ambushing them.

The nearest transcendent was less than a hundred meters away.

The next moment, Gune instantly shut off the “Eye of Fate.”

“Run!”

With a low growl, Gune darted to one side.

George and Zigurd reacted swiftly. The moment Gune said “run,”

they immediately understood.

Though they didn’t know what method the enemy had used, it was clear they were already closing in.

Instantly, they leaped forward, bursting into speed as they followed Gune’s flight.

“Think you can leave? Too late.”

Kukaron, now close enough, grinned savagely.

Above his head, an invisible hollow eye had already locked onto Gune, who was fleeing in a flash of blood light.

“Dimensional Gate, open!”

With a thought,

Gune, in mid-flight, immediately sensed something wrong.

The space around him turned bizarre and dazzling, as if auroras were blooming all around, and the entire world seemed frozen.

At the same time, a gate like a dimensional portal slowly opened ahead.

“Some kind of unique innate talent.”

Seeing this, Gune’s expression grew serious.

He immediately turned into blood light and shifted four or five hundred meters away.

But when he landed, the dimensional gate in the dark void ahead was still right in front of him. His displacement couldn’t shake off this strange talent’s lock.

Gune made several more blood-light shifts.

The dimensional gate in the void remained inescapable.

Even when he tried to use a teleportation scroll, he found it couldn’t be activated.

It seemed all escape methods were useless against this dimensional gate.

Seeing this, Gune stopped fleeing in panic.

He stood there, watching the dimensional gate.

Crack, crack…

The dimensional gate slowly opened.

Whoosh…

At the same time, the surrounding space tore open into a new world—a dimensional space descended.

“Some kind of cage-like ability? Trapping people directly?”

“Hmm! This method is quite interesting.”

“But then again, out of the three, you just had to pick the strongest one.”

Gune looked around calmly, then smiled.

“Since that’s the case, if you dare come in, I’ll send you to your death today.”
