Facing an Ancient God for a Year-Chapter 1361 - 1359 The Fallen Guest Empire (18)

To have friends come from afar is a great joy in life, but unfortunately, the friend himself doesn’t seem very happy.

The specific manifestation is that when facing Fu Qian’s greeting, the group that appeared remained silent, raised their crossbows uniformly, and aimed them all at him once more.

The uniformity of their equipment and movements gave quite the impression of a regular army.

"So they’re really not together?"

The Awakeners hiding everywhere were deeply shocked by this scene. Meanwhile, they realized that they were temporarily not the targets of attack, and breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily.

Once a person relaxes, their thoughts become a bit more active.

At that moment, someone looked at Lady Raven in surprise for confirmation.

Just now, this lady was resolutely asserting that the Dark Moon Apostle standing there was actually a Nightmare Minion.

But anyway, compared to the surrounding group hiding there and attacking without a word, they looked much more hostile.

And the Dark Moon Apostle was even their main attack target.

...

The situation of Lady Raven being watched was undoubtedly somewhat awkward.

She certainly knew that the Dark Moon Apostle and these attackers were at odds, after all, she had witnessed it once through Marianne and the others before.

Excluding the increasingly small probability of a coordinated performance, the credibility of the Enlightenment theory can be said to be rapidly increasing.

But, as the opponent said before, she had no choice.

The essence of the action just now was originally to eliminate the heretics first to maintain stability, regardless of whether the other party was innocent or not.

Who could have expected that the power of the Nightmare would not only appear again, but even quietly surround everyone by taking advantage of the situation.

But regardless, these truths are not suitable to be spoken out now.

Although even if they are not said, it doesn’t mean no one realizes, at least it shouldn’t be pointed out.

"Find a chance to retreat first, the situation is somewhat incomprehensible."

Ultimately, Lady Raven chose not to comment.

"Even if this Mr. Grimshaw really has good intentions, it seems we can’t help him."

This statement is quite correct...

The group looked around upon hearing this, and under the sudden assault just now, a total of four people had been hit.

At this moment, without exception, they were turning into mud amidst wails.

And the Dark Moon Apostle easily blocked more attacks than the sum of all the others, alone.

Speaking of which, the group originally even wanted to gang up on him.

Looking at it this way, the other party obviously showed mercy.

If the Awakeners agreed with what Lady Raven said, they involuntarily began to reflect, resulting in more shock and increasingly complex gazes.

Even what they had just learned couldn’t help but surface in their minds.

Are they really apostles commanded by a noble existence spreading Enlightenment within the Nightmare?

The footsteps of the group retreating were momentarily not so justified, though they remained resolute.

...

"Looking at the way you are, you should have listened for a while, has anyone summarized the key points?"

Fu Qian completely ignored the actions of the Awakeners and gently examined the circle of sharp arrowheads, looking for a class representative.

"Don’t mind the others."

Unfortunately for his response, it was a cold order from within the crowd.

And without any hesitation, another volley of Black Arrows fell.

Even more than one person dropped their short crossbows after shooting, and whirlwinds of arcs condensed into sharp spikes in their palms, leaping down.

Very good!

Although the response was too concise, Fu Qian was very satisfied.

Firstly, his hypothesis about their human nature was further confirmed—while their appearances were uniform, they were essentially individuals with personalities, and there wouldn’t be any dimensional barriers in future exchanges.

Secondly, he sought out an exchange representative, and a command issuer appeared, quite cooperative.

With a sigh, Fu Qian stood in place, his hands transformed into shadows, accurately grabbing each arrow one by one.

The accuracy of his grip and the grace of his posture left the Awakeners retreating to the passage stunned, once again feeling fortunate to have escaped.

Yet the crisis clearly wasn’t over, as the Nightmare Guards had already landed in the field, launching close-range assaults.

The one charging fastest was none other than the one who issued commands just now.

As Fu Qian collected the last arrow in hand, the spike in the commander’s hand aimed directly at the vital spot.

Faced with this pioneering spirit, Fu Qian, while admiring, casually tossed out two arrows as a sign of respect.

However, shocking everyone, facing this swift counterattack, the class representative seemed exceedingly brave.

Without making any dodging moves, the spike aiming at Fu Qian’s chest was even faster, filled with the momentum of ending together.

In the midst of cries of surprise, ultimately, his body was first struck by a cluster of Black Arrows.

Yet at the moment of impact, the attack that had pierced through the Awakeners before was like a mud ox entering the sea, failing to stir even a ripple on the black armor.

He simply wasn’t afraid of this attack that originated from similar forces, as there’s no saying of mutual destruction!

Overwhelmed with shock, the Awakeners’ hearts were cast in another shadow.

The Nightmare power that existed only in imagination not only truly existed but was now so hard to deal with.

The key individual who appeared initially well-intentioned, the Dark Moon Apostle, not only offended their group but might find it hard to get out today—

The thought hadn’t ended when they found, in horror, the spike originally reaching towards the Dark Moon Apostle’s chest suddenly retracted instantly.

To be precise, both the spike and the body flew back as if hit by a heavy hammer.

Whoosh!

Blowing on his fingertips, Fu Qian smirked at the class representative rolling back from the ground.

"Well summarized."

The action he took was straightforward; among the arrows casually tossed out, two Air Bullets were included.

Without activating the Burning Frost Effect, and under Black Arrow’s cover, these things were certainly hard to discover.

...

Although Fu Qian wasn’t quite clairvoyant to anticipate the complete ineffectiveness of Black Arrows against the Guards.

But this nature-unknown thing, its reliability in his view wasn’t high in the first place; using it as a smokescreen was most fitting.

And the development in front of his eyes certainly satisfied him more.

The class representative not only showed human traits but also was capable of tactical deception, taking advantage of information gaps, making the upcoming communications more anticipated.

"Retreat!"

It’s unfortunate though that as the class representative rolled back up from the ground, he instantly abandoned his previous forward posture, threw a spike at Fu Qian, and promptly jumped up, signaling urgent withdrawal.

Didn’t expect the situation to change so swiftly, the Awakeners felt surprise and hesitated slightly. Faced with the many crossbows guarding above, ultimately no one attempted to intercept.

"Why the hurry to leave?"

But the next moment, seeing the figure nearly escape, following a word from the Dark Moon Apostle, appeared as if drawn back by an invisible line.

And what greeted him was the exploding spike colossus arm formed by countless Cold Crystals bursting forth from the Dark Moon Apostle.
