Death… And Me

Chapter 155 - Driving A Car

It was quite hard to hold Luina and the other two during this time. Roan explained that the bandits' awareness was too high, so they had to wait for them to drop their guard first. Still, a mission that was supposed to only last at most one week had been going for eleven days already.

"So we are going to act? Finally!"

Roan sighed and warned them.

"Don't drop your guard, there is a lot of them inside that fortress, and one is even at the Core Formation Realm."

Luina and the others nodded. After that, Roan began to move silently to the fort while the rest followed him. It was night time, and the number of guards had decreased quite a lot. Thanks to that, they were able to approach the fort without being detected.

Luina was expecting Roan to do something to the formation when they arrived in front of it. But who would think that Roan would step inside of it without doing anything? Luina, Oritis, and Rolim's hearts almost stopped after seeing that.

However, nothing happened at all. The formation that was supposed to activate didn't even ripple. It was as if Roan wasn't there at all!

"How's that possible?!"

Roan frowned as he cast a cold glare at Luina. Right after, he sent her a Spiritual Sense message.

"Didn't I say to be quiet? Are you trying to call everyone out?"

Luina immediately shut her mouth and looked in the direction of the fort. Fortunately, she didn't talk too loud. It seemed like no one heard her, either. With a heart full of doubts and some embarrassment, she stepped inside the formation with Rean and the others too. Her group was ready to flee at any moment, but their worries proved unnecessary. The formation also didn't notice their presence.

Roan then entered the fort with the others without anyone noticing. He went up to an advantageous location and took a deep look down. After confirming all the bandits' positions, he retreated.

"Alright. If I'm not wrong, all the hostages must be in the building in the northwest. Oritis and Rolim will be responsible for them. Once I give the signal, run there as fast as you can. You don't need to worry about the others; the three of us will take care of them."

Oritis and Rolim looked at the building in the distance felt a chill on their back. There were really quite a lot of enemies on the way. It didn't matter how they looked at the idea. It seemed suicide.

Roan understood what they were thinking but didn't say anything. At this point, they should have understood that they could at least trust his commands.

"Now!"

Oritis and Rolim greeted their teeth and began to run. They were already expecting that the moment they appeared, all the enemies would pounce on them. However, none of them did such a thing. It wasn't that they didn't see those two, but that they didn't have time to deal with them.

At this very moment, the fort's formation activated, and attacked all the bandits at once!

Rean couldn't help but smile at that scene. At the same time, he sent a message to someone else.

'Sister Orb, it seems like you have no problem driving this car.' (Chapter 144 for this reference)

[Hahaha! It took some time for me to finish analyzing this formation. But now that I know, no one will be able to take control over it anymore.]

That's right. Sister Orb had said it before. She can't learn how to build the formations, but it isn't a problem for her to know how to use them. All she had to do was to seize the control away after seeing how it worked. That's also why they sent Demon Beasts to activate it several times.

The bandits that weren't sleeping were already very lucky. They were able to react and still try to fend the Spiritual Energy Swords summoned by the formation. However, the majority was still sleeping, especially after so many days of an intense watch.

Roan didn't wait eleven days just so that the bandits would drop their guard. Above all, he knew that the bandits would continuously watch and feel the pressure from Lovak's orders. Now that so many days passed and no one attacked them, their nerves finally relaxed, and they fell to their fatigue. In the end, the majority began to sleep due to their exhaustion.

Too bad, though. Sister Orb could see every single one of them with her ability to control the formation. She didn't miss that chance and focused most of the formation's power on those sleeping dummies. Sure enough, almost all of them died after being pierced by the formation's Spiritual Energy Swords. In one instant, over 70% of the bandits were sent to the next world.

Of course, those who survived such a sudden assault had high combat ability and awareness. So, other than those who were already awakened, the remaining ones were the cream of the crop in the Gold Hands Bandit Group.

Oritis and Rolim felt excited about what they saw. The rushed forward while slaughtering everyone in their way. It would be one thing if the enemy was only paying attention at them, but they were all too busy trying to survive the power of the formation. Once those two Peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators appeared close to them, their fate was sealed.

In just a few seconds, the two reached the building that Roan appointed. That should be the one with the hostages. But just as they were about to enter, the door of one of the buildings behind them exploded in hundreds of pieces!

From inside, Lovak, Reabar, and Laxin came out. When Lovak saw the situation, his expression went dark! He immediately took his formation plate and tried to use it, but there was simply no response. Only now he understood the enemy's plan. The formation that he relied for so long upon turned out to be his fort's weak point!

He noticed Oritis and Rolim in the distance. Immediately, found out that they were just Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Obviously, he felt enraged.

"I'll kill you!"

Spiritual Energy exploded from his body as he immediately pounced at those two. However, it was at this moment that he felt immense danger. It was nothing but his instincts, but he was sure that he had to do something, or he would die. Suddenly, six Swords of Dark and Light came at him from both his sides.

'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

Sure enough, Rean and Roan didn't lose the chance to make a sneak attack!
