Chapter 1078: Skelly Family In Action - Part 16

Eril led the group to the exit portal after a brief preparation. As Ying, there was nothing to be prepared for. They just needed to be ready for the fight as soon as they got outside. The group appeared at the same spot where they entered the Epic Rank Garden. The Virandal Empire\'s force and the adventurers gathered in the area. The adventurers to the right of the entrance, and the Virandal Empire\'s force to the left.         

The worst scenario, where the Virandal Empire started attacking the adventurers outside the garden, did not happen. The two sides were separated with a clear line, waiting for their return after noticing the exit portal. The team from the Karian Adventurer Guild came out first, standing in front of the portal for a little longer.     

The Virandal Empire\'s force started to raise their voices when their team did not return, starting to make a ruckus. Ying nudged Eril, telling her to start the attack.     

The Guild Master\'s assistant snapped out and raised her sword. "Kill the Virandal Empire!"     

With the cue, Lulu activated her fireball spells. She created five fireballs and sent them toward the Virandal Empire\'s force. The sudden surprise attack caught people off guard, not just the Virandal Empire\'s force but also the adventurers. The adventurers did not know what happened, did not know why their S Rank Adventurers started attacking the Virandal Empire all of a sudden.     

As for the Virandal Empire\'s force, they were surprised by the attack, not expecting the opposite side would attack them. The five fireballs hit the crowd and exploded. The scream rang into the air as the fire engulfed many people. Some people ran under the fire, spreading out from the explosion.     

The Virandal Empire\'s force was quick with their action. Some of the mages worked together to put a straight barrier from the adventurers while some of them tried to put off the fire. However, Roman, Damian, and Eril had passed through the barrier before it was properly built. They went straight toward the mage who set up the barrier and killed them all.     

The barrier that just stood up disintegrated. The other adventurers did not know what actually happened, but they joined as soon as they saw Eril, Damian, Roman, and Lulu attack the Virandal Empire. At this point, they had no choice but to join up and ask later what happened later.     

Amidst the chaos, Tang Shaoyang summoned the Skelly Family. "Kill the people from the Virandal Empire! Don\'t touch the adventurers!"     

The skeletons moved on their own, joining the fray. Tang Shaoyang remained on his spot, standing next to Lulu. He activated the Spirit Eyes and noticed the incoming force from three directions. The three incoming forces brought the same flag, the Virandal Empire\'s flag.     

"They are far enough to avoid my spirit eyes." Tang Shaoyang muttered.     

"What?" Lulu thought he spoke to him, but she did not hear it clearly. She was too focused on aiming her spell at the Virandal Empire\'s force to avoid the friendly fire by using a smaller-scale spell.     

"The reinforcement is coming. Stay next to me!" Tang Shaoyang reminded her while sending a message to the Skelly Family. He asked the Skelly Family to delay one reinforcement. Keeper, Skelly3 (Abyssal Archmage), and Skelly7 (Archmaster Bonemancer) should be enough to delay the reinforcement with their range ability.     

"Time to work, Wrath." He flicked the dragon\'s head, who was about to fall asleep in the middle of the battlefield. He could see Lulu\'s annoyed expression at how he treated the dragon even though the Golden Dragon himself did not mind. Wrath stretched out and flew toward the direction where his master pointed to. Greed was still sleeping, and the cat slept inside Lulu\'s backpack.     

At this moment, a figure appeared between Lulu and Ying. The bearded old man had a solemn expression, staring at Ying and Lulu. "What happened?" The old man demanded an explanation with his strong voice.     

"They are going to kill all of us, so we attack them first." Lulu was surprised at first, but then she was delighted that Guild Master Gortham was here. She gave the shortest explanation possible.     

"I want a detailed explanation!" Gortham asked forcefully as he released his Demi-God Aura slightly, directing the aura toward Lulu and Ying. The former had her face scrunched, but it was nothing for Ying. For someone who had fought the God Rank, Demi-God Rank Aura was nothing.     

"Win the fight, or stop the fight first if you want a detailed explanation. Look!" Ying pointed at the battlefield. "Your people are dying, and here, you want a detailed explanation instead of helping them first?"     

Gortham followed Ying\'s finger and witnessed a few adventurers fall. It was just a few compared to the Virandal Empire\'s force, but there were still casualties. They might be alive if he had stepped in instead of coming toward Lulu and Ying.     

"Also, your sense is quite dull for a Demi-God Rank. Haven\'t you sensed the incoming forces from the Virandal Empire? Isn\'t it obvious what happened here?"     

Hearing that, Gortham immediately expanded his mana. The old man quickly discovered the incoming force. He was sure those forces were not from the guild, or else he would be noticed if the guild deployed such a big force. If those forces were not the guild, then they were the Virandal Empire.     

Old Man Gortham realized what had happened. Exactly what Lulu told him. The Virandal Empire planned to bury the adventurers here by preparing those additional forces. He did not know what their purpose was, but this was a war declaration by the Virandal Empire. He could stop the fight here and right by revealing his power. However, the Guild Master chose to respond to this with violence. He wanted the empire to pay the price for their sinister plan against his guild.     

The old man was about to leave once more, but Tang Shaoyang held his shoulder. "Where are you going, Guild Master?"     

The Guild Master turned around with a frown. "Of course, I am going to kill all these bastards! Don\'t stop me!" The old man was about to leap, but this time Tang Shaoyang held both of the shoulders.     

"No! You stay here with Lulu! Their target is Lulu, so you protect her."     

Gortham squinted his eyes, glancing at Lulu. The latter nodded her head to confirm what Ying said. Tang Shaoyang was about to leave, but this time the old man held his shoulder and asked the same question. "Where are you going, lad?"         

"I am going to stretch a little. I did nothing inside the garden, so I want to stretch a little bit and maybe raise my level a little bit." Tang Shaoyang did not let the old man stop him this time as he used [Blink] right after he answered, leaving Lulu and Guild Master Gortham. Since Lulu was in the safest hand, there was no need for him to protect the princess anymore. He wanted to look for another Myth Rank to kill, and he had discovered two.     

Guild Master Gortham furrowed his brow while looking at the direction Ying went to. "Did you guys clear the Epic Garden without his help?" He assumed Ying did not fight when he heard Ying\'s reply.     

Lulu shook her head dejectedly. "No, Sir Ying did. He did not join the fight directly, but his familiars did. His familiars killed the Virandal Empire\'s team and also the boss monster. Maybe that\'s why he wants to join the fight right now."     

"His familiar killed the Myth Rank from the Virandal Empire?" He had used Detection on Ying, and he was a hundred percent sure the man was an Ancient Rank. It made him curious how an Ancient Rank\'s familiars killed a Myth Rank. The familiars are supposed to be weaker than their master, or else the familiars would not listen to their master. That was common knowledge, but it seemed the common knowledge did not work on Ying.     

"Yes. Have you seen the lizard on his shoulder?" When Lulu mentioned the lizard, she could not help but smile. "It\'s not a lizard, but a Golden Dragon." The obvious admiration in her tone was obvious. The old man was shocked to hear that, and for some reason, Lulu liked the Guild Master\'s surprised expression.     

"If you think the Golden Dragon killed the Myth Rank, then you are wrong, Guild Master." She got her backpack and picked up the sleeping Greed. "This little guy ate the Myth Rank. Greed chewed and swallowed the Myth Rank before he could use Bloodline Transformation. And then, Sir Ying\'s skeletons killed the remaining people from the Virandal Empire\'s team and also the boss monster."     

Technically, Tang Shaoyang did not really fight, but his familiars were. It was hard to believe, but he could tell that Lulu did not lie to him. There was no reason for her to lie. "I would love to hear the details, but we need to finish our business first. Follow me and stay close to me. Can you do that, girl?"     

Lulu nodded three times. "I will try my best, Guild Master."
