Chapter 179: Chapter 163 New Strategy Group Tragedy_2

Countless questions rushed to her mind. What’s going on? Why can’t I move?

The answer was Ring Capture, the Ring Capture acted on her chains, causing stiffness in her as the owner of the weapon!

Leon grabbed several chains and involved the Hound Step again. When she next resurfaced, Mila was tightly bound, and Luluwo was given a dose of stiffness without neglect.

Giant ice spike magic crushed down but, aside from breaking a few chains, achieved nothing. The Mud Swamp Technique originally cast to control Leon was also in vain.

"This guy..." Berto was stunned.

Leon was easily dealing with the New Strategy Group’s attacks and could only say:

Still using traditional weapons? That’s so weak. You should become a big fan of the Sain Dungeon like me!

Watching the Mysterious Hooded Man closing in, Luluwo felt an oppressive sensation she hadn’t experienced in a long time.

"Ah! Guah! Wow!"

Soon after, several screams later, all members of the New Strategy Group fell and couldn’t get up.

Especially captain Luluwo, she knelt on the ground, looked utterly lost, as though her life had been defeated, even though she wasn’t really injured.

Although they had been invaded many times before, this was their first time experiencing such a defeat, and moreover...

It was simply disastrous!

They were utterly unable to defeat the hooded figure!

Leon admired his own handiwork, then magnanimously used the Farewell Black Crystal to leave — an item he also stole.

As far as he was concerned, apart from being rivals with the New Strategy Group, there was no deep hatred. The darkest thought in his mind was just to beat them up.

It took a while after he departed for Luluwo to shakily stand up.

Her confidence was almost shattered, but she still pushed herself to recover. One defeat didn’t count for much; the important thing was to learn from the failure.

"It’s okay, it’s just a loss..."

Luluwo patted her cheeks, "I’m not here just to fight, I will definitely achieve the first clear, I must..."

As she spoke, her voice gradually trailed off like she was running out of breath.

Not long afterward, the recovered New Strategy Group set off again on their exploration journey, only this time, everyone’s heads were down, their morale were thoroughly dashed.

Berto was the first to shake off the despair. Someone had to step up and rally the troops in such low spirits, so he gathered his emotions and said:

"That despicable Hooded Man, relying solely on weird Combat Skills to win! Without those two skills, the victory should have been ours!"

That was a lie. In truth, he knew that even if the Hooded Man didn’t have Ring Capture and Hound Step, he still couldn’t beat him. The man’s combat experience was genuinely stronger.

But to comfort everyone, Berto had to step up and make some absurd, weak statements.

"Stop joking," Mila glanced at him, and said dejectedly, "He blocked my attack with a shield. You can’t do that without real skills, Berto, you can’t diminish him just because we lost."

"Yeah, both Berto and the rest of us were utterly defeated. We should admit we were outclassed," Ais sighed deeply.

"Berto, I know it hurts to lose," Luluwo patted his shoulder, her words heavy with meaning, "but we must accept reality. It’s wrong to belittle our opponent."

"..."

Berto nearly suffocated on his own breath.

To think I tried to play the fool to comfort you all, yet each and every one of you... is our moral standard really that high?

His attempt at consolation backfired, almost sending him into seclusion.

However, once he started, everyone else opened up too. Luluwo, no longer caring about her tone, swung her fists and said, "But I’ve memorized his combat style, next time we meet, the victory will be mine!"

"I won’t be thrown off my attacks anymore," Mila’s small frame seemed filled with enormous strength, "I’ll flatten him!"

"If there’s a next time, our magic won’t miss," Ais and Asam said in unison.

Good, morale was slowly returning, their spirits getting better!

Berto was happy to see this change, cheerfully whistled, but just then, at that very moment...

[Invasion by the Sun Warrior "Mysterious Hooded Man"!]

Looking at the familiar Red Spirit taking shape, the members of the New Strategy Group found their throats clenching, the cheerful atmosphere vanished.

Just before Luluwo had been swinging her fists, now her body stiffened, her arms shooting up like antennas.

Had it been half an hour? How come they were invaded again, and by the same person?

Leon was just as shocked. Why the New Strategy Group again?

He meant to use the Farewell Black Crystal to leave directly, but seeing the other side pulling out weapons, he also drew his weapon.

Alright, round two then.

Minutes later, the New Strategy Group was once again defeated.

It took them twice as long to regain their spirits after getting up this time.

[Invasion by the Sun Warrior "Mysterious Hooded Man"!]

Facing the familiar Red Spirit for the third time, Luluwo’s heart could only be described by the phrase "numb."

Damn it, why!

Are you a Sun Warrior addicted to invasions now?

Her knees buckled, and she "plopped" down to the ground, no longer able to muster any fighting will. She wanted to go home and reflect on life.

This time Leon dealt with them, invading the same group three times in a row. Such fate... it would be such a pity not to kill them at least once.
