Chapter 59: The Invasion Begins
“Thanks for the compliment.”
I responded, smiling. But it isn’t good to be called a monster by a demon. They are technically monsters themselves.
Although Oyado had seen me repeatedly use multiple magic types, there isn’t any reason to hide it right now.
When I left the hole I saw that, thanks to summoning the ice snakes, the enemies that had been surrounding the hole had either run off or were killed when the snakes burst out of the hole.
“What’s next?”
I asked Greed when I got out.
“This is……We should be in Mandrake Forest. From the information that intelligence had gathered, the center of the enemy army should be near here. In other words, we need to walk back a bit to reach the rear of the nearby army. Our target should be there, the person who took your body.”
Greed said, pointing towards some grass nearby.
“Hurry and hide in the grass, others should be coming soon.”
“Understood.”
I tapped the air, and the ice snakes completely disappeared. Our group hid in the brush and slowly made our way across the forest.
“We came out early, and we were suppose to be further back, so there should be no problem for us to go this way.”
“Well that’s good.”
Giving it some thought, I decided to completely lift the ice magic. After all, if they were allowed to melt naturally then ten days wouldn’t be enough time.
Now that the ice has lifted, perhaps some of the spiders didn’t die and can surprise the enemy.
Continuing forward, we could hear the voices of people on the main path. It seems that the enemy has sent over reinforcements. I hope they have a pleasant battle with the spiders.
As we continued forward, there was a noise and a system prompt came out.
Eliminated 24 Eight-Eyed Spiders
Assisted in eliminating 5 werewolf warriors
70000 exp gained
Reached level 39
Titles: Oppressive, Bodyguard, and Herald of War have leveled up. Their effects have increased.
Turning to Bai Yueguang, I saw that they were also looking at the air in front of them. After some time they glanced at me and continued forward.
Although I get that they’ve become accustomed to it, there is something that I find strange.
It’s that I can’t see the experience that my teammates gained. Although I can see that Aliyah went up a level, the information is nowhere near what it had been.
I don’t know why it’s happening. Could it be that World-chan has simplified the system and the data?
While I don’t know why that happened, it has nothing to do with our current objective.
And that is to eliminate the guy that took over my body.
It’s funny. Randomly taking over someone else’s body, what a joke.
Because the enemy had so many people, and there were people crossing by every once in a while, we were basically constantly starting and stopping. By the time we had passed through the woods and reached the rear of the enemy’s army the sky had already turned dark.
“It might be a bit late in the evening, but darkness is better for our actions.”
Greed spoke up while we watched the camp in the glade from inside the forest.
“That’s true, but what’s the plan?”
“Well, the enemy’s barracks should be laid out symmetrically, and the enemy’s commander should be in the back of the center. We’ll take advantage of their movements to find out where they are before we decide what to do.”
“Then who’ll go?”
“It’s……”
She looked at Oyado.
“I’ll go with this little sister.”
“No, I’ll go with elder sister!”
Oyado unhappily said.
“That’s……”
Seeing their pained look, I shrugged, and showing that there wasn’t anything I could do.
But looking at Greed’s helpless expression, I sighed and said.
“All right, how about this. I’ll go scout with Oyado. You can use that time to start some disturbances in the enemy camp. It’ll help us focus some of the enemy’s attention.”
“Un, okay.”
“Bai Yueguang, wait here until you hear from us.”
I said with a smile.
“Maybe we’ll just go over and kill them.”
“Hey, don’t mess around. That’s a military encampment.”
“I know, I know.”
I said, looking at the encampment.
“While I never really played stealth games, but I still know about Solid Snake.”
“Who’s Solid Snake?”
Greed asked from the side.
“He’s……a very famous master of stealth.”
I quickly explained.
“Really? They’re really powerful? Then why haven’t I heard of them?”
“It’s not some nonsense, don’t you get it? The true masters are those who are hidden from history…… Bai and Aliyah, what’s with the laughter! Speak up! What I said was true!”
“Yep yep yep!”
The two of them said, grinning and nodding.
“Alright, let’s go! Come on Oyado!”
“I know!”
While saying that, I tapped on my stealth skills. My entire body was engulfed in a green light and I disappeared.
After watching Oyado and me leave, Greed turned to Bai Yueguang.
“This Ms. Felicia, is she really a human?”
“……”
Everyone looked at her and sighed helplessly.
“Whether or not you think that, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“Oh……what about you?”
“Same thing.”
“Oh.”
