Chapter 105: Ambush and Counter-Ambush

As the Erosion Source Black Hole passage vanished, the assembled experts converged.

"Everyone, we have finally weathered the invasion through the Erosion Source passage," Murland's voice rang out.

During this battle, Murland had also sustained considerable injuries.

At this moment, many of the experts looked somewhat relieved, and some had already begun using potions to heal their wounds.

After all, even the mere aftershocks of the previous battle had nearly killed some of them.

"But we cannot let our guard down, because according to the information we have received, the worlds surrounding our Oya Continent's supernatural realm are currently under invasion."

"Once some evil gods obtain those Erosion Source Orbs, they might invade our world again. Although the probability is low, we cannot be careless."

"For now, we still have an advantage on Oya Continent. The Blood Dream Arena is our greatest asset."

"In short, we need to continue strengthening the expansion of the Blood Dream Arena while using the Erosion Source Orbs we have acquired to enhance our power, so that we can secure a favorable position in the subsequent expansion of the Blood Dream Arena."

"This battle is over. Two experts will remain here to guard for a while, in case of any anomalies."

"The rest can return to the South together and discuss the distribution of the Erosion Source Orbs."

At the mention of the Erosion Source Orbs, many wore solemn expressions.

They had all learned of the powerful properties of the Erosion Source Orbs.

If they could obtain the Erosion Source Orbs, their strength could advance significantly.

Such a good opportunity—those experts who might obtain the Erosion Source Orbs and had contributed enough would not easily let it slip.

"However, before that, I think we should deal with this Bizarre Swamp."

Babo's voice sounded from the crowd.

Only then did everyone snap back to reality; the end of the invasion and the division of key spoils had nearly made them forget this big fellow.

Earlier, they had feared the Bizarre Swamp wasn't strong enough, but now they felt its aura was overwhelmingly dense and suffocating.

Its vast, mountain-like aura almost hit them in the face.

The density of this aura had far surpassed the peak of the fourth-tier supernatural and was approaching the demigod level.

It was precisely because of this terrifying entity that they had been able to hold the Erosion Source Black Hole passage.

After surveying the Bizarre Swamp for a moment,

everyone's gaze fell on Gune.

Earlier, it was Gune who had requested its release.

At this moment, they had no means to deal with this terrifying destruction-level sealed object, the Bizarre Swamp.

They could only rely on Gune.

Approaching the edge of the Bizarre Swamp,

Gune stared at it for a while before speaking.

"Everyone, move farther away to avoid being caught in the blast."

The crowd immediately retreated.

Then Gune moved his mind.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

One after another, Erosion Annihilation Blades were released by Gune.

After releasing ten Erosion Annihilation Blades, Gune moved his mind again to gather them together.

At that moment, the Erosion Annihilation Blades directly manifested their second form: the [Erosion Annihilation Mother Blade].

Compared to ordinary Erosion Annihilation Blades, it was far more powerful and ferocious.

However, it required more time to assemble.

After condensing the first [Erosion Annihilation Mother Blade], Gune did not immediately attack and collect the sealed object but continued to condense subsequent [Erosion Annihilation Mother Blades].

He condensed them continuously, stopping only after he had gathered ten [Erosion Annihilation Mother Blades].

At this point, ten [Erosion Annihilation Mother Blades], resembling mechanical crescent blades, hovered beside Gune.

"Everyone, watch closely."

Gune said with a slight smile.

The crowd eagerly awaited to see how Gune would deal with the powerful sealed object, the Bizarre Swamp.

The next moment, the cyan-blue Wind Spirit Wings behind Gune burst open instantly.

"Whoosh!"

With a sudden surge of Wind Spirit power, Gune's figure vanished in an instant.

"Huh?"

Everyone was taken aback.

What was going on? Where was he?

While everyone was still puzzled,

"Ah!" A piercing scream exploded from the frozen cloud layer high above.

At the same time, three immense auras burst forth.

All were at the peak of the fourth-tier ancestral spirit level.

"There are enemies lying in ambush, and they are alien experts."

Instantly, everyone reacted.

Earlier, Gune had sensed enemies spying from the shadows.

Outwardly, Gune remained silent, but inwardly, he had been using World Essence to merge with the surrounding world, constantly probing for traces of the hidden enemies.

The enemies were well concealed.

Unfortunately, Gune was the darling of the World Essence origin.

With World Essence merging into the world, coupled with Gune's terrifying perception,

Gune still found the three alien experts hidden in the shadows.

Upon sensing the auras of these three alien experts, Gune became highly alert.

Their auras clearly bore the traits of Saint Haigar.

That is, these three alien experts were experts who had arrived from Saint Haigar.

Fortunately, when the Erosion Source Black Hole passage had opened earlier, the power of the Erosion Source had permeated the area, so they had not acted rashly.

Now, with the collapse of the Erosion Source passage, Gune sensed they were preparing in the shadows, ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment.

And Gune seized this opportunity to launch a counter-ambush.

First, he condensed the [Erosion Annihilation Mother Blades], then burst forth with the Wind Spirit Wings, while simultaneously using World Essence to immobilize the spellcaster among the three.

With a single burst, Gune severely wounded and nearly killed that spellcaster.

Now, high in the sky,

the wind howled.

Large patches of frozen clouds were blasted apart.

Gune stood in midair.

About five kilometers away from Gune,

three "Akenu" clan members, each about five meters tall with four arms, stared back at Gune.

A thick energy barrier surrounded the three, enveloping them.

Among them, the spellcaster's body had been severed into three pieces by Gune's Erosion Annihilation Blades.

He was now rapidly regenerating.

"His soul source core is hidden deep. A pity this strike didn't kill him," Gune thought to himself.

But his face remained impassive; no one knew what Gune was planning next.

The three looked at Gune with extremely grave expressions.

From the earlier battle, they had seen that this Gune, a follower of the Cthulhu entity,

possessed terrifying strength.

Only by joining forces in a surprise attack could they have a solid chance of victory.

Now that they had been discovered, the odds were roughly fifty-fifty.

As for the rabble below, they didn't even consider them.

"What do we do?" asked the only female Akenu among the three in a low voice.

"Kill him!"

The injured Akenu spat coldly, his eyes icy.

"Otherwise, none of us will escape today."

This Akenu spellcaster saw things clearly.

He knew that if Gune didn't die today, none of them would get away.

Suddenly, the injured Akenu spellcaster seemed to sense something.

His face changed drastically, and he roared directly.

"Go! Fight him to the death! Don't worry about me; he can't kill me."

As the roar exploded, the other two shadow-attributed Akenu no longer hesitated. They leaped, crossing the energy barrier and the five-kilometer distance in an instant, teleporting beside Gune, their blades falling like lightning.

"So you sensed it. Not bad perception," Gune said with a cold smile.
