Chapter 47: It did go wrong

Cao Guang's squad tailed the largest pack they were assigned with. Seven Warriors and about a hundred Minions. They were supposed to deal with them last or perhaps ask for help from other squads but Cao Guang came up with a convincing method to deal with them first.

Of the many packs they had to deal with there were about 20 warriors and over two hundred Minions. In a bad situation just the hundred Minions were more than what they could handle.

Therefore the packs were the target of elimination while their Commander were busy and couldn't control them. A warrior could command a few dozen Minions but above that they would be overwhelmed.

"The chicken is in the coop" Cao Guang gave the signal.

" Isn't that a bit silly" asked Song Xia.

"I am just lightening the mood"

Both of them connected their Star Nebulas as both Fenrir and little Flame Belle blocked of the pack's retreat.

Red and Grey magic circles appeared beneath them as they released their spell.

A Death Song wreaked havoc among the pack as Thunderbolts tore at the pack from the front and back. A dozen minions were slayed instantly as Cao Guang and Luo Heng coordinated their spells.

The remaining pack gathered their bearing and chased a Fleeing Shadow. The duo brought the pack out to Cliff with Flame Belle and Fenrir each keeping two Warriors busy.

When the pack reached the cliff fifty metres from the ambush, Gao Xuan used his innate talent to control the surrounding Earth element to cause a miniature landslide bringing the leading Warriors downwards as rocks and mud made them into an avalanche.

"Two of three survived, make it quick now" Song Xia announced as she cast her spells. 

"No, three of you kill the two Warriors before the make it back, I'll hold the group. Now go"

Cao Guang casted his Space spell adeptly making the Minions lackluster and slow.

Space Rhythm Compression

Flame Belle flew in to his chest as Prairie Flames and Calamity Fire entwined around him. Cao Guang smacked his Fist in the ground as he forced a Star Nebula to form faster than it ever did. The Minions almost made it to him.

Fiery Fist Ground Break 

He had forced a break through. The Little Tora pendant and the last year of cultivation had put him on the edge of a breakthrough however, the missions kept him busy with no time for a breakthrough and now a few dozen Minions had allowed it. 

A flame covered the ground in front of him burning the Minions to Ash. Calamity Fire could improve his flames 1.5 times now and Prairie Flames boosted it 2.5. 

A second tier Fire spell 4 times stronger than normal assailed the Blood Tabi Beasts as Flame Belle seperated again and took on two Warriors that were teaming up on her Wolf Brother as she went away.

Cao Guang brought out his second spell as Lightning formed in his hands blasting out from him 3 times stronger than normal due to Lightning Order. 

The Minions had fallen to just three dozen by the time Thunderbolt Exploding Apex faded.

Cao Guang drew a deep breath and connect another Stardust as a Void Wall was brought in front of him blocking the Blood Tabi Beast.

He activated his boots and jumped on the beast back and connected another Lightning Nebula with the help of his equipment.

An Exploding Apex spread among the Minions dropping their number even further. Unfortunately Cao Guang lacked movement spells at this stage and couldn't make his way towards his summoned Beast for safety. 

He could only spam his Space element for safety and control. Cao Guang took out another minion with a lightning strike when the thing he feared came to pass.

In order to kill the Blood Tabi Beasts faster he attacked them a few minutes before sunrise. The Blood Tabi Beasts were near a suitable Cliff that Gao Xuan could use, Cao Guang took the risk of aggravating Undead to kill Blood Tabi Beasts faster and now they were here!

For now it was only a couple of zombies that he could keep busy. He was worried about more warriors showing up as they would put his team in a lot of risk. 

Cao Guang stopped using Fire magic and used Space spell to shift an incoming Blood Tabi Beast towards the Undead. 

This was the beauty of living as they were all enemies of Undead.
