James roughly knew how strong the twelve death spirits were and knew he could not kill them in a single blow despite having Chaos Power and being a Quasi Acmean. Whoever was manipulating them must have felt threatened and made them evacuate from the fight.
James scanned the area but found no traces of the twelve death spirits’ auras nor their mysterious master. Even the Acme of Light had vanished.
A frown formed on his face. Everything that happened was very abnormal.
James’ Chaos Power was terrifyingly strong. The moment the death spirits broke out of the formation, they were struck by his Chaos Power. He had been keeping an eye out, yet they still escaped from right under his nose.
This brought him to one conclusion—the creature secretly controlling the death spirits was very adept in the Space and Time Path, far better than James. After searching everywhere, he could not detect them. He turned around and walked toward the group in the distance.
As he approached, one of the creatures asked him, “How did it go, Wyot? Did you kill them?”
Everyone eyed James intently.
James shook his head and said, “Those death spirits were very strange. A powerful creature must be secretly controlling them. They most likely retreated and have hidden themselves. Their commander definitely knows the Space and Time Path better than me. I can’t find them that easily.”
Everyone’s expressions turned grim when they heard the death spirits had survived.
At that moment, many creatures purposely moved closer toward James. They had changed their minds about following Deshawn and felt that James was more capable of protecting them.
Although they were all supposed to be in a competition, none of them had their minds on the Chaos Sacred Lotus anymore. Their top priority was to leave the Ancient Realm alive.
“What should we do now?”
“How are we going to survive? We’re at the mercy of this hidden commander who can control both the twelve death spirits and the Light of Acme.”
With James’ reassurance, many of them felt relieved and began to move toward him. However, there were still a few that remained with Deshawn.
Deshawn was held in high regard since he was at the top of the Chaos Ranking’s Gold Rank. Moreover, he held this position for a long time. Therefore, many of them found him to be a very reliable powerhouse.
Yente blurted out, “What do we do now, Wyot?”
James fell into deep thought. After a while, he replied, “I should be able to break the formation, but I’ll need more time to study it. It’ll require my complete and undisturbed attention. However, there are many threats still lurking around the area. Before I can focus on breaking the formation, we’ll have to eliminate these threats. Unfortunately, I still don’t have a clue about who’s trying to take us out. It’s hard to locate them too.”
“You don’t need to go through the trouble of finding me. I’m right here.”
Suddenly, a hoarse and gravelly voice interrupted James.
