Is that a Wisp?

205 Conclusion

Krune looked at Uriu and sent him a Divine Sense message.

"Try to hold him for a second!"

Uriu understood and immediately took Krune's place in the center of the combat formation.

Immediately after, Krune recalled all his shields. He then used half of them to make something like a cage around himself. Lanis, the leader assassin, had been waiting for something like a trap all along, so he noticed the change straight away.

"Gelius, be careful."

Gelius noticed that, and he opened the distance between him and Krune's group a little, but he soon got puzzled. If he was the target, Krune's group should have tried to stop him from getting away. However, they did the opposite and immediately assumed a protection position in front of Krune.

Lanis still had a bad feeling about all of this. But he couldn't simply leave now.

Suddenly, everyone on the battlefield started to hear a loud sound of thunder. In their Divine Senses, Krune's shield 'cage' began to look like an Orb of Purple Lightning and Fire.

Gelius looked at that and couldn't help but think.

'Is he planing to self explode?'

But he soon shook his head. Why would he need to lock himself inside a shield's cage if he wants to suicide? But one thing was evident to everyone. The amount of Tribulation Lightning energy growing inside that cage was tremendously high! Not only that, but all the power was also compressed in that small place.

It was utterly different from Krune's Tribulation Calamity, which covered a wide area.

That shield's cage was as everyone saw it, something that Krune was using to hold and compress the power of the Tribulation Lightning to the limit!

Krune then sent another message to Uriu.

"Don't let that Death Core Owner intervene."

Uriu noticed that it was a critical moment and did, as Krune said.

Suddenly, Krune's remaining shields formed something like a tube in front of the shields cage and pointed at Peily in the distance!

After seeing that, everyone had the same thought!

'Is that a cannon?'

They were right, that was precisely what Krune had made with his shields, a Tribulation Cannon!

But before anyone could even finish processing that thought, Krune had already released all the energy inside.

"Tribulation Cannon, FIRE!"

Even with Krune's low cultivation realm, the Tribulation Lightning was already extremely fast. Let alone when it was compressed to that extent and released all at once. That wasn't all, the Tribulation Lightning obviously had the Purple Fire mixed within too!

Lanis finally understood what that bad feeling was. That's because Krune's target wasn't Gelius to start with, but Peily! Because Peily was busy trying to finish off Wang Mo's group, he was the last one to notice that change on Krune's side.

Lanis immediately sent him a Divine Sense message.

"Dodge!"

Gelius also attacked Krune's group with everything he had, he wanted to try to disrupt Krune's attack even if just a little bit.

Everyone on Krune's side was also taken aback by that, but for another reason.

'Wasn't it supposed to be used against the Death Core Owner? How come he is attacking someone else? Is it because he had a higher chance of success against that other guy?'

Everyone's focus, Lanis included, was in the Lighting attack that would reach Peily in the next moment.

Peily also noticed the attack coming in his Dinive Sense, and he immediately tried to move away from its route. But suddenly, Yano appeared right in front of Peily in his Griffin form!

Yano was watching the battle from close by since he didn't have any combat power left anymore. All he could do was keep moving, so he would hinder his companions back if he participated in this.

Still, it was because he had been not part of any battle that he was the first one to notice the changes. At that critical moment, he steeled his resolve and decided to take the attack on Peily's behalf!

Krune's group also noticed that, and they felt bitter all over. In the end, Krune's attack wouldn't hit the right target.

But it was at that moment that Gelius, who went all out against Uriu, felt danger coming at him. Still, it was too late.

"Hehe! Gotcha!"

Puft!

Out of nowhere, Gelius was hit on the back by some kind of sticky stuff. After that, he noticed that he couldn't move any more!

"Not good!"

Who else could it be other than the Swamp Spider?!

As soon as Gelius was caught by the Spider Attack, the Tribulation Lightning Layer around it disappeared. The four assassins then immediately noticed the presence of the Middle Stages Divine Soul Realm Swamp Spider in their Divine Senses.

Gelius then used his weapon, that Black Pearl, and released an enormous amount of death energy at once that was contained inside! The Spider web that was holding him started to deteriorate, and it wouldn't hold him for long. Normally, he would have noticed the attack coming at him and dodged it. But because of Krune's attack, his entire attention was on Uriu's group and that Tribulation Attack.

"Light Spirit, it's up to you now!"

Light Spirit then snorted.

"Hmph! You talk as if this is something difficult to do."

No one could hear Krune and Light Spirit's words, though.

Still, it was at that moment that everyone saw something that they thought to be impossible happening right in front of their eyes. That lightning cannon attack made a curve!

Let alone the assassins, even Krune's companions were taken aback by that change!

Lanis and the other assassins felt like crying already! Bro, can't you follow the script for once, please? Was there a need to even make your shields look like a cannon to start with?

The attack that was just about to hit Yano then rushed back at Gelius in the Spider Web confinement. There was nothing that anyone could do at the moment, even Lanis or Gelius himself.

It took some time to explain everything, but all of it happened in a flash!

Kabrum!

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The Tribulation Lightning and Fire attack hit Gelius head-on! Not only that, but that Spider Web immediately burned with the Purple Fire, increasing its attack power even more!

One must remember that different from the Tribulation Calamity, this attack was entirely focused on a single point instead of a big area. So it goes without saying that it was a lot more powerful once it hits!

Gelius tried to put up a defense with his Spiritual Energy and Death Energy, but it was useless. First of all, Tribulation Lightning is especially useful against Death Energy. Gelius only had the chance to let out that scream before he perished!

The battlefield then went silent for a moment.

"Great!"

Krune's side then immediately cheered after seeing what happened! So what if that wisp made something crazy? What matters is that it worked in the end!

Krune then came forward and told the assassins.

"Are you sure you want to continue this? That Demon Beast there is not a treat to us, and we have an extra Middle Stage Divine Soul Realm Demon Beast on our side. To be honest, I want to avoid meanless killing. Although I'm confident that our side can deal with the three of you, we would need to pay the price for that. So what about we cease this struggle?"

Krune's group was taken aback by those words, but they had to admit that Krune was right. They do have the advantage at the moment. Still, if those two remaining enemies decide to throw caution to the wind, they probably won't be able to avoid some casualties. In the end, no one wanted to die here.

Lanis heard that and then started to laugh out loud.

"Indeed, with you guys combined power, we probably have no chance of getting that girl anymore. Still, we reached a point of no return. If we go back without completing our mission, we are dead for sure. So I'm sorry, but we are going to finish it here and now."

Lanis then used a forbidden technique and started to draw out his own life essence. Such a move would forever damage his foundation. Still, since the only result was death otherwise, then he might as well bet everything at this last struggle!

Peily saw what happened and then sighed. Immediately after, he did the same thing as Lanis. Krune understood that no leeway was possible anymore and sighed too.

After that, The Rasie Clan guys, Krune, and the Swap Spider started to fight Lanis. As for Uriu and Wang Mo's group, they fused their combat formation to fight against Peily. Both Uriu and Wang Mo had been using the same formation to start with, so it was easy to merge them together.

This time, the ones running out of time were Peily and Lanis. The forbidden technique would leave them extremely weak once its effect runs out. Krune knew that so he used his entire concentration to just defend. At the same time, Hulibe Acrol's group and the Swamp Spider were responsible for the attack.

On Uriu's fight side, Uriu took the command of the formation. The Wang Clan guys didn't complain this time since they know that Uriu has a Life Core, which is perfect for this situation.

The battle continued for quite a few minutes, and just as expected, casualties came out on both sides. Still, both Lanis and Peily couldn't keep that amount of power running forever and ended up dying in the end too. The only survival now was Yano, the Griffin that didn't have any combat strength left.

In the end, everything was over with six dead on Krune's side between cultivators and demon beasts. One of Hulibe Acrol's friends, Uriu's two friends from before, Wang Ting from the Wang Group, and two members of the Divine Path Sect. Not to mention the injuries of the others.

Of course, that was already a miracle outcome. Be it due to luck or planning, the fact that Krune's group was the final victor was something that no one would bet their money on.

Krune then looked at Yano, who didn't even try to flee and asked.

"So, what about you tell us what is happening here?"
