Chapter 662: Chapter 328: Retribution for Broken Promises

"I’ve also seen the illusion... No, it’s not an illusion!"

As a Warrior, Kleem was keen-eyed and sharp-eared, he heard the footsteps of Li Ang and Andasu approaching from behind.

"Li Ang?!"

The three members of the Soul Apex called out in unison upon seeing the newcomer.

Of course, Li Ang made no attempt to hide.

What was there to conceal at this point?

As expected, Meluna has lost control... Fine, this is one way to resolve it.

Since I’ve been exposed, I must take them down. In this case, do we need to use Spiritual Driving to erode their spiritual defenses again?

Li Ang recalled the tug-of-war back in the Flashing Field. Who knows how long it will drag this time, these three are much more formidable than that Order Sandstorm Corps member, he almost forgot that person’s name.

Despite the whirl of thoughts in his head, he felt no tension. Instead, Andasu was already in battle prep mode, her fair back covered with fine beads of sweat, and that strange fragrance capable of inducing paralysis in enemies had begun dispersing into the surroundings.

"Ah, it’s been since the Holy City that we’ve met again." Li Ang smiled at them, but he had already grasped the Orichalcum in his hand.

"Since you’re here, it means you’re standing against us this time." Boliya flicked his wrist, and the miniature strongbow, which was a hand ring, was already held in his hand.

"So it’s only this time that we’re truly opposing?" Li Ang said.

The three of them paused, understanding his implication. Since the facade of being fellow members of the Soul Apex Corps was gone, he was going to settle past scores.

Despite their earlier sharp-tongued critiques of Li Ang, none dared to underestimate him now.

What fear is there from a mere witch, but add in those he supports, and it’s a different story. The other young girl was still only at the Transcendent Tier and not a threat, but the Female Swordsman he brought back was notoriously fierce and not easy to deal with.

"I thought after being kicked out, you’d hide somewhere like a woman doing her laundry and cry, but you’re aiming for revenge?" Kleem grasped two Hand Axes, being a Berserker who wielded dual weapons.

"I’m not that bored." Li Ang smiled, raising a Multi-Colored Shield as a Sea Serpent Familiar slipped from his sleeve, coiling around his shoulder.

Seeing this "lacking combat power witch" wield a clearly extraordinary Magic Staff to deploy a shield, and having a "strange Summoned Beast," the three were completely unprepared and flabbergasted.

"It’s quite funny, you guys, Wendes as well, all think I’m deliberately seeking revenge." Li Ang stated.

"Wendes! His disappearance is linked to you?! Well, then, stop saying you’re not seeking revenge?!" Kleem roared.

They didn’t know?

Li Ang originally thought that Wendes being captured by the Order Flame Corps was one of the motivations pushing Rams towards the Empire, but it seems that guy was resolute from the start.

"Believe it or not, that time was a coincidence, and so is this time."

"Are you saying you were off looking for women, and then just bumped into us?" Boliya looked at Andasu and Meluna.

Li Ang’s eye twitched. Spark Island was that Golden Canary, and now with even secret operations involving two problematic beauties, any explanation would only raise more suspicion.

"Because you insulted Li Ang." Meluna stated, sword in hand.

Upon hearing this, Li Ang knew clearing this misunderstanding was impossible, yet his face remained expressionless as he spoke: "The actions of the Holy Speriel Empire are intolerable for anyone with a conscience. At that time, I was on Spark Island, now I am in the City of the Ship’s Rudder, that’s all."

"Just trying to make a living." Fres shrugged: "We didn’t want to either."

"Making a living is such a universal excuse, but it doesn’t excuse your actions against innocent people."

"Seems like a fight is unavoidable then." Fres sighed, spreading his arms. With the sound of thunder, liquid metal lifted from his arms, circulating behind him to form a Magic Ring. He didn’t use a Magic Staff for Casting, but instead, his weapon was a pair of Rune Arm Guards with Formal Liberation ability, originating from an ancient relic.

This Magic Ring was quite imposing, liberated by Tier Eight Equipment from the ancient relic, capable of forming an Ether-filled Energy Shield and providing Ether assistance during Casting, enhancing Fres’ combat power above many certified Mages.

This equipment, which Li Ang had personally used before, was known for its strength.

"You’re parading around with women, yet you meddle in our affairs!" Kleem’s arms swelled, the muscle amplification of the Warrior Profession manifesting on his body, making him look like an iron tower, his form suddenly towering.

He stomped on the ground, charging forward like a chariot, steel boots pounding the metal surface with thuds, and Magic Power surged within his leg armor component, drastically increasing his speed.

Even without Weapon Slash, a weaker flesh-body would not withstand the impact alone.

Andasu immediately tensed in precaution, appearing ready to deploy both Mechanical Engineer tools and the limited Evil Assassin power simultaneously.

It was her first opposition with an Excellence Realm Sky Knight, whereas previous Annihilation Knights were more like non-living devices, possessing strength but lacking the dread of being targeted by a cunning, merciless enemy.

After all, this was a main member of the Celestial Group.

"And, just properly disperse your Blood Fragrance. I was involved in a lot of their strategy compositions, they’re not a threat."

"We know your level too! You mediocre witch—ugh!"

As Li Ang spoke, the charging Kleem, roaring like a chariot, suddenly ceased his voice, his entire body flying backward, crashing into the ancient machine’s shell with a loud clang.
