Death... and me

"What?!" Suddenly, Olly and the other members of the Jamai Sect disappeared in the mist. After all, it was an illusion mist. It's just that it didn't work on them. There was still the natural spatial detection that revealed the locations of Olly and the others. Then again, it was one thing to know they were there, but another thing to know what they would do.

Surprisingly, Olly's group retreated a little instead of taking the chance to attack the enemy. They were still at a disadvantage in numbers, after all. Not to mention that they had a few injured people.

One couldn't count on Rean's healing skill at the moment. Rean's healing skills were definitely very powerful. However, let's not forget that their effect was reduced when the cultivation of the target was higher than his. At this very moment, pretty much everyone was two entire realms above Rean in cultivation. With that, Rean would need several minutes to heal the serious injuries. Olly's group couldn't afford to lose those members at this moment.

Roan then ordered, 'Ranged attacks. They can only tell where you are, but their Divine Sense and Soul Power Scan don't work in the illusion formation. There's no need to lose anyone. Just tire them out and pick them off one by one when you find the weak links. They won't be able to focus on breaking the barrier, the slaughter formation will attack them from all sides, and your bodies' abilities are enhanced. This battle is pretty much over as long as you do as I say.'

Olly and the others couldn't help but get excited after that. Didn't that mean they can conquer both Crimew and Jutras at the same time without losing a single Space Bending Realm member? Regardless of how much they didn't like Rean and Roan, they had to admit they had done a great job in this place.

'You could at least have told us about this plan of yours, you know?' Olly still complained back, but the excitement he was feeling didn't make it very convincing.

'Hmph!' Roan snorted in response. 'To deceive your enemies, you first need to deceive your allies. Only by keeping it a secret until the very last moment would we be able to take them all down at once.'

From there on, everything played exactly as Roan said it would. One by one, the participants from Jutras and Crimew began to run out of Divine Energy and get killed. Since none of them surrendered, there was no need to keep them alive. In fact, it would make it easier to deal with if there were fewer of them after everything was over.

Rhathio and Pourchaq couldn't tell right from left in the illusion formation. The nonstop swords of energy of the slaughtering formation kept coming at them from all sides. Olly and the others' attacks also arrived while those swords were being sent but were far more dangerous. Those like Luina, who specialized in ranged attacks and had ranged weapons, were the ones who contributed the most.

Of the one hundred Space Bending Realm members from Jutras, around twenty minutes later, no more than 40 Jutras Region participants remained, the rest having been killed.

On Crimew's side, it was even worse. They already lost 67 of them, and now only 33 remained.

At this point, the System Sect had the advantage in numbers, even if one counted both opponents' forces. The rest just haven't died yet because they were higher-ranked disciples of their own powers or because they were simply lucky.

Roan watched everything from inside the System Sect, waiting for when they would surrender. However, it still hadn't happened after his side obtained such a huge advantage. 'Olly, are all of you like this? Their death is already guaranteed, but they still refuse to surrender. Do all of you hate the idea of surrendering so much?'

Olly was taken aback by Roan's message. However, he continued to attack Pourchaq and Rhathio as he answered with his own Divine Sense. 'You've misunderstood something here. It's not that they hate the idea of surrendering so much that they're willing to die. It's because the moment the battle started, you used your Divine Sense to contact and ask them to surrender.'

'They saw that you were just a Peak Stage Transition Realm cultivator. What did that mean? That meant you were definitely someone from the small continents, not someone from the powers near the center of the Realm of Gods. If it was me or anyone else from Jamai Sect who was in your position inside the System Sect's protective barrier, they would have surrendered already. What they hate is the idea of surrendering to an ant from the middle of nowhere,' Olly explained.

Roan narrowed his eyes after hearing that. 'I should have asked one of you to pretend to be the leader.'

Olly's mouth twitched in response. 'Serves you right! That's what you get for hiding the whole plan from us. Anyways, some of them will probably surrender. After all, cowards exist everywhere. It's just that I wouldn't expect more than ten or twenty survivors by the time we're finished.'

*Arrrgh!*

Suddenly, Pourchaq was hit by one of Olly's attacks. After the enemy's side lost the advantage in numbers, Olly returned to melee combat. His Weapon Intent shone as the blade passed through Pourchaq's heart. Lightning and Space Power escaped from all sides, causing the injury to turn more fatal.

Leticia was next as she chose Rhathio as her opponent. She was the second strongest member of the Jamai Sect, after all.

Qrimete, the Diamond Coral Bear, wasn't much different from Leticia or Olly, so he had his own share of kills.

"I-I surrender! Please! I know Rhathio decided to attack, but I swear it was purely his idea!"

Sure enough, the first one finally appeared. However, Roan wondered if it would make any difference obtaining these extra ten or twenty Space Bending Realm cultivators or whatever race they were. If he got rid of everyone right now, that would save him a lot of trouble.
