Village Head's Debauchery
chapter-1004

Stunned, the cloaked figure's eyes widened as he witnessed Seth still alive. He quickly

increased the distance between them, standing far away. His body trembled as he watched the wound he had inflicted on Seth's throat heal rapidly, disappearing as though it had never existed.

Then, a wave of Vylkr energy surged from his form, filling the surroundings with countless shimmering strands before dissipating abruptly.

"You have only one chance remaining," Seth's voice resonated across the battlefield.

The battlefield fell into silence as everyone watched the scene unfold in disbelief.

The cloaked figure's eyes threatened to bulge out of their sockets. The mysterious individual he had attacked not only effortlessly healed his assault but remained utterly unaffected by the dense surge of raw Vylkr energy he had unleashed.

How could such a being exist? What kind of mysterious force was Paradise if one of their Key Leaders possessed such power?

Without waiting for his mind to settle, the cloaked figure immediately turned and fled. His techniques were useless against the mysterious figure, and neither his strength nor the Vylkr energy could harm him. He knew his third attack would be futile.

As Seth spoke, he swiftly employed his flying technique to escape. He might face consequences for failing to retrieve the Divine Artefact, but he believed the information he now held about this mysterious force, Paradise, was equally valuable.

As he reached a certain distance, a gleaming orange-reddish sword suddenly entered his line of sight, causing his pupils to shrink in alarm. In the blink of an eye, the sword exploded with astonishing speed before he could react, engulfing him in fiery liquid flames that seared through his cloak, revealing his whole appearance.

He stood tall, a humanoid figure with distinct lupine features-pointed light grey fur ears, a bushy tail, paw-like hands adorned with sharp retractable claws, and powerful digitigrade legs exuding explosive strength.

BOOM!

He crashed into the ground, carving a 30-meter-long crater before stopping, defeated. Witnessing this, Seth immediately utilized his gift to create a copy of himself through the molten magma, sending it towards the defeated figure. At this moment, the duplicate was distinguishable by its glowing orange-red molten magma parts. Still, Seth believed he could perfect the replication indistinguishable from himself with time.

As the duplicated Seth swiftly approached the figure and attempted to lift him, the body suddenly exploded, flesh and organs scattering through the air, stunning Seth into a pause.

'He killed himself,' Seth thought, furrowing his brows as he observed the unknown individual's scattered organs strewn across the battlefield.

He had never imagined that a gods' chosen would be ruthless enough to take their own life to avoid capture in case of failure. Even Paradise saw every one of its warriors as invaluable, irrespectively, to think about doing such a thing.

The Wandering Wolf Borough Runaway City appears ruthless and desires the Divine Artefact much more than they had imagined.

Up above, Orion frowned as he witnessed the scene unfold below. It seemed that even if they had swiftly immobilized the gods' chosen from the Wandering Wolf Borough Runaway City, he would have still chosen to end his own life to avoid capture and questioning.

Fortunately, they had seized this opportunity to glimpse their opponent's strength. While it might only be overwhelmingly impressive compared to the perspective of the Grade One Runaway Cities, they now knew where to focus their efforts before facing them again.

"It looks like we need to prepare ourselves before encountering the Wandering Wolf Borough Runaway City and the Journeying Jaguar Runaway City. If they can afford to sacrifice such a gods' chosen, it means they have other powerful individuals at their disposal," Aerialia remarked, voicing her thoughts aloud.

Such tactics were common during the Great War to test an enemy's capabilities and gather intelligence. She could only hope that their enemies wouldn't be alerted to the gods' chosen's death or the information he had managed to gather, leaving them to prepare for the worst.

Orion nodded thoughtfully. While he was confident that Paradise wouldn't falter against the two Grade Two Runaway Cities, he knew better than to be arrogant, especially considering the unknown divine beings and Vylkr spawns that could still exist.

Suddenly, Orion squinted into the distance below, spotting another figure emerging from the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City. It seemed they were not ready to concede defeat, prompting Orion to wonder what other tricks they might have up their sleeves.

Nevertheless, he relayed a message to Seth, urging him not to show mercy this time. They needed to show them they were only valuable to Paradise if deemed so.

Upon hearing the Village Chief's instructions below, Seth nodded in understanding. He shifted his focus to the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City Supreme Leader, who hovered in the air before him.

"Great Warrior, although I acknowledge your strength, I will not surrender the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City that easily," Emperor Greroth declared, his voice resonating across the battlefield and reaching the ears of all three Runaway Cities.

"But if you can withstand my attack, I will not only hand over the city willingly but also provide you with valuable information about the Wandering Wolf Borough Runaway City and other secrets that none of the so-called Supreme Leaders of a Grade One Runaway City possess."

Emperor Greroth was no fool. He observed how the mysterouis Key Leader of Paradise handled previous encounters, noting that despite the deadly attacks that had scarred and injured his gods' chosens, they were all alive and would heal within a few days.

He understood Paradise was trying to recruit them under its authority, much like the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City and the Sleeping Fox Runaway City. However, how could he allow such a thing to happen when they were just beginning their journey to prominence?

Despite the losses, he was determined to show them the real reason why the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City was on the verge of becoming a Grade Two Runaway City.

Witnessing his silence, Emperor Greroth interpreted it as an agreement and proceeded immediately.
