Chapter 776: The Price of Being Too Passive
After laughing for a good while, Shye stood up.
This was a victory for him.
He doubted that even Dweezel would be able to prepare something of such a scale for a second time, especially since he used more than six soul-enhanced jamming devices.
’The old bastard’s next move should be to expose me...’ He pondered.
It was pretty obvious; after all, it was the only way Dweezel could openly go after him.
’I have to return quickly and get everyone out of Valenzia City.’
The moment came a bit sooner than he expected. However, he and his personal unit could only adapt.
The next moment, Shye exited the small cave he was hiding in, summoning Zeth to quickly return to Valenzia City.
Unbeknownst to him, right at this moment, someone else was being ambushed.
But unfortunately, they didn’t have any inkling and were thus caught unprepared.
In the middle of a remote clearing inside a vast Death Zone, two young ladies panted in exhaustion, surrounded by a hundred men, all of which were scout-class combatants.
"Wendy! Stay behind me! I’ll protect you..." Elysia exclaimed, gritting her teeth in utter fury at the terrorists who came out of nowhere and ambushed them.
She was a smart woman, and she knew that the WAA missions assigned to heroes were top-secret information.
There was a damned mole in the organization.
Judging from how the bastard had access to their mission’s information, the rat was a pretty high-ranked individual.
Elysia was naturally perplexed.
Here she was, doing her best to rid her region of dangers.
Yet, somehow, some bastard was colluding with damned terrorists to take her out back at the headquarters.
The ungrateful wretches!
As for their motivation, she could only guess that it was either jealousy or greed.
His Lord Father would only be displeased if he lost more men than he should’ve.
Hence, Second Hawkling decided to make a move himself in hopes of taking out the problematic mage heroine.
With the Hawkins bloodline flowing in his bloodstream, the red-haired hawkling inherited his father’s cautious nature, not daring to underestimate Elysia despite her current condition and situation.
He would only strike when a prime chance came waltzing his way.
For now, remain in the shadows he shall.
Only, he didn’t expect that he would learn a valuable lesson today: being overly cautious could also result in disaster.
In the next moment, Elysia’s aura flared, causing the temperature in the remote clearing to plummet as icy winds suddenly swept through the area.
Lethally sharp icicle shards then emerged from the ground beneath her, extending towards the assassins at unbelievable speeds.
Before a few of them even realized, various parts of their body were already impaled in the viciously sharp tips of the glacial shards, some even dying instantly due to their heads being ruthlessly pierced.
Around forty-five elites died in an instant.
Witnessing this, Second Hawkling felt like he was going crazy.
This group was his personal unit, trained by him personally using the resources he had painstakingly acquired through a decade of hard work for his Lord Father.
Now, more than half of them have lost their lives.
It was a massive loss not only for him but also for his father’s organization. Surely, Dweezel would not be happy about this.
However, before he could even accept the pain of losing a total of more than sixty elites, a horrifying ray of light descended from the heavens, obliterating another fifteen elites into mere particles.
Not even a trace of them was left. Stay connected with novelhall.Côm
This was Wendy’s [Epic]-tier trump card, [Heaven’s Judgment], but this time, she didn’t activate the subskill [Innocent], fully displaying the destructive side of the skill.
The remaining twenty-plus assassins stood at their spots, utterly shaken by the death of their comrades.
They had undergone many missions in the past under the lead of their lord, Second Hawkling, but this was the first time they suffered such disastrous losses.
’Were they going to fail? Will they die as well?’ were the questions in their minds.
