CHAPTER 198: CHAPTER 198: ANTS

Asuna could sense that this group was likely scheming something very important.

Inside Base 27, there were many high-energy facilities, and Asuna saw numerous devices containing extremely high magical energy.

But she didn’t recognize them, had never seen them before, and didn’t know what they were.

Asuna looked around, feeling a bit strange.

"It seems there’s no one stronger than Lord Herag..."

In Asuna’s view, if Herag were to display his true bloodline power, he could wipe out everyone here on his own.

At this moment, Asuna was even more convinced that Herag was concealing his strength for a purpose.

After Parker finished speaking, he glanced around and said, "Anyone who captures a caster or captive this time needs to register. You can directly sell the casters to me, or you can keep them yourself. Note, all captives are not allowed to leave the base."

"It’s best to sign a master-servant contract, those without can come to me to purchase one."

In the Wizard Plane, there are many bases on the Elf Plane, and at each base, wizards would catch some captives, making elf maidens their servants was a very common thing.

After Herag registered with Asuna at the base’s population administrator, he took her to his room.

"You should know the rules as well, absolutely do not think about leaving here, understood?" Herag warned.

Asuna nodded, "Understood, sir."

...

The next day.

Herag, David, and Reese were guarding a hidden forest within the Lime Mountain Range.

Yesterday, they only eliminated the first batch of adventurers that came.

According to the information revealed by these adventurers, more adventurers are expected to come over the next period of time.

So, people still needed to be arranged to hide in various places in the Lime Mountain Range, to kill whoever comes in.

Their only chance was to turn back and leave at the entrance.

After sunrise, more adventurers gradually arrived.

No one knew what happened in the Lime Mountain Range last night, nor did anyone notice anything unusual here.

After all, dozens of people entering the Lime Mountain Range was like a drop of water falling into the sea, without leaving a ripple.

Today’s adventurers were fewer than yesterday; most had already arrived yesterday.

Those who came today mostly saw the mission when they returned from outside.

Herag was guarding at the mouth of a valley, watching a group of people walk into the valley.

This group was not small in number, there were seven of them.

At the front was a Great Knight level man with a large sword on his back, and among the six people behind him, two were Knight Level, while the others were at the Ordinary Level.

Among the adventurers, this team was considered strong.

But in front of Herag, these people were quite weak.

Herag stood up and stretched, "Time to get to work, haven’t moved my muscles in a while."

"I can go," David offered.

Herag shook his head, "I’ll do it, haven’t fought for a long time and my hands are itching."

"Absolute Defense."

A colorful shield appeared around Herag’s body.

"Blood Python’s Fury!"

Herag took out some blood and smeared it on his palm, then cast various beneficial magic on himself.

"Giant Body!"

Herag’s body began to rapidly expand, his clothes instantly burst apart, leaving him standing stark naked in no time.

"So big!" Reese’s cheeks reddened, but she couldn’t bear to look away, staring unblinkingly.

"Dark Armor!"

A layer of black mist enveloped Herag, forming a shiny black armor on his body surface.

Now, Herag had transformed into a giant over three meters tall, donned in full black armor, exuding intense presence.

"You all stay here and keep an eye on the surroundings, I’ll go and stretch a bit."

Herag took a glance at the distant group and walked towards them with large strides.

In the valley.

"Williams, why haven’t we encountered anyone on the way, aren’t there many who came yesterday?" remarked a man dressed like an assassin.

Walking in the front with a large sword on his back, Williams said in a deep voice, "The Lime Mountain Range is so vast, it’s normal not to run into anyone. We need to hurry, those who came a day earlier might have already found some clues."

The assassin toyed with a dagger in his hand and chuckled, "No worries, given our strength, if anyone has found clues, we’ll just snatch them away."

With a Great Knight and two Knight Level, they had every reason to make such a claim.

As long as they didn’t encounter casters, they could practically go unhindered.

Ordinary adventurer teams would find it fortunate to have a Knight Level among them.

They not only had two Knight Level but also a Great Knight level strongman.

Williams shook his head, "I don’t think it’s that simple, we can’t be careless."

"Relax, with you here, who can withstand your great sword!" said one of Williams’s teammates confidently in him.

In past adventures, Williams was almost an invincible presence.

He once faced a caster, and with his great sword, he charged in and sliced the caster in half.

Though the caster was already injured, that battle made Williams famous.

Williams’s expression remained serious; ever since entering the Lime Mountain Range, he had felt something was off.

The intuition of a Great Knight told him that some danger was lurking here.

So Williams was cautious all the way.

There was an indescribable feeling lingering in his heart.

Williams glanced at the map, just past this valley would be the patrol area of the Mountain Patrol Team.

"Ahead is the Mountain Patrol Team’s patrol area, let’s hurry up and get there," Williams instructed as he put the map away.

The group quickened their pace, preparing to speed through the valley.

"Since you’re here, you might as well stay," a low voice sounded from the front.

Immediately after, a giant clad in black armor emerged from ahead.

The moment Williams saw Herag, his heart involuntarily skipped a beat.

A sense of impending death erupted from deep within, nearly driving him to lose his mind.

He, as a Great Knight, was highly sensitive to such feelings.

It was precisely because of this that Williams had an immediate sense of Herag’s power.

On the contrary, the others were just very wary of Herag.

From Herag’s towering build, they could tell he was very strong.

But they didn’t know just how strong Herag really was.

"My friend, we should have no grudges, right?" Williams took a deep breath to calm himself, not daring to even draw his sword now.

He had a gut feeling that if he dared to draw his sword, he would certainly die.

Herag nodded, "Indeed, no grudges, but I don’t need a reason to crush a few ants."

"Arrogant!" The assassin couldn’t hold back on hearing this.

Ants?

Is he talking about us?

This guy is too arrogant.
