Chapter 322 Inevitable Conclusion

Chapter 322 Inevitable Conclusion

Just by looking at them, one could tell how the hierarchy among the 14 elite werewolves was divided. The 12 standing to the front looked quite close to each other, but their respect for the other two was apparent. Making them look like a squad of elite guards

Compared to the glistening black fur shared by 13 of them, the werewolf chief's gray fur looked stale and decrepit. However, appearance wasn't always everything!

'He is worth my full attention.'

Unlike Leo's side which had as many as 4 Transcendent Martial Artists, only one werewolf possessed strength comparable to that of Transcendents, and that was undeniably the werewolf chief! The other 13 including his daughter were at the level of top Peak Martial Artists!

"So you have come for your death!"

Swish!

Since they could no longer avoid the battle for the sake of a possible victory, the werewolf chief swung his steel claws down at Leo who raised the White Tiger to block the strike.

The elite werewolves' actions may have seemed heartless, but everything was to preserve their clan. Unlike the expendable members, their survival meant that the clan wouldn't meet its end. As long as they found a suitable spot, the clan could be restored with sufficient time. In the same manner, their death meant that everything would be lost…

"I'm not so sure about that!"

Leo was able to shake off the werewolf chief's claws, but the Silver Dragon didn't get to pierce the monster who dodged with his quick reflexes!

The White Tiger's Transfigurations spiraled out in response, but they failed to land any strike of note. Even the deep scratches left on the monster's arm looked like they would disappear soon.

'If I want to… It would take even longer.'

That was just how things were in a battle between Transcendent. Victory and loss, life and death… Such things couldn't be decided that quickly. Leo had enough confidence in his abilities and tactics to take the werewolf Chief's life, but a long period of time was required!

As long as one of them wasn't a paper tiger, being at the same level only made things harder rather than easier. As such, Leo could only stall for time so that the Four Heavenly Beasts could join together to subjugate this monster just like they always did!

"Leave it to us, Baekho orabeoni. We will finish off the others quickly and help you out!"

Knowing that full well, Yeon, Yong, and Sohee had no plans to slack in their job. Although they didn't have the advantage in numbers, their superior strength made things much easier.

Yeon had wanted to take Leo's role as the one possessing the most firepower, but that only made Leo refute the idea even more. It was precisely because she had a crazy attack ability that she suited a battle of numbers. Unlike the poor Devouring Centaur, a group of five didn't necessarily have an advantage when facing Yeon!

"It's our chance now that they willingly came to us! Once we dispose of these three, the humans will be done for!"

The werewolf chief's daughter took the lead, heading the biggest group that targeted Yeon as the biggest threat. The likeliness of their total extermination was increasing as time went by, but the humans' improvisation gave them a tinge of hope!

As long as they took down just one of these strong humans, the chief could easily take down his opponent with the free group's assistance, cutting the enemy's forces by more than half. She didn't even need to calculate how they would successfully exterminate the rest… Or so she thought.

"I need to take care of you quickly so I can help Ho…"

The Black Heaven Jade's sanguine aura spread out, taking the form of more blades. Normal Martial Artists were a different story, but Yeon was particularly capable in both individual and group battles!

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish…

Under the rain of blades, two of the elite werewolves lost one arm each after trying to dodge for their lives. Yeon's abilities were useless overkills against numbers of low quality, but they specifically shone against enemies of high calibers!

Awoo!

Only a few exchanges were all that Yeon needed to cripple her enemies' fighting capabilities. After which, nothing more needed to be said.

"Just how…"

Frontal army battles took time, the time bought basically symbolized the cost of a life. However, small skirmishes could always end in an instant and…

"Krya, noooooo!"

Unlike how he accepted other sacrifices, the death of a daughter enraged the werewolf chief. As a being that was more monster than human, his rage got the best of him to show an opening, enough for Leo to land a critical attack!

Yeon helping the other two seemed more rational, but this chance was perfect for a pincer attack. With the soul connection between Leo and her, just one glance was all that they needed!

"Gaaahhh…"

The old werewolf wouldn't die immediately, but he was now nothing but a wounded animal. While that made him more dangerous, his time in the world was limited…

Cheon Sohee and Cheon Yong weren't as fast, but they were steadily shaving off their enemies' numbers. The 14 elite werewolves at the start were reduced to 6 in no time, revealing the bleak reality that the monsters faced.

"You… You…"

Ever since Leo had laid his eyes on their town as a target, this situation was inevitable. He wasn't truly omniscient, and he wasn't a true powerhouse like the Heavenly Demon, but he had the experience of countless protagonists starting from Geochin himself. Although Leo was still capable of making mistakes, that was precisely what made him cautious to the extreme.

Even when he didn't personally want to do it, overthinking plagued him to the limits. It was controllable most of the time, but major steps stressed him into mental labor…

Srassh!

The fall of the werewolf chief spelled the end of the three remaining elites. Once the four returned victoriously to push back their enemies' last forces, the words that Leo awaited made their way into his head.
