Chapter 298: Divide And Conquer II

Reynolds ran into the forest, accompanied by Hamon. He didn’t have any qualms with killing any of these people if the chance presented itself.

After dashing into the forest for a few minutes, Hamon looked around searching for Reynolds who had disappeared into the forest. The thought of waiting for the others came to his mind, but thinking of the possible punishment he might face if he was the reason Reynolds escaped, he gritted his teeth and continued searching.

Reynolds was currently sitting on top of a boulder deep inside the forest on an open field. Being a Lightning Elementalist, he was faster than Hamon. Although, not all Lightning Elementalists are faster than Wind Elementalists in the same stage.

He could sense that there was only one person chasing after him, and this was exactly what he wanted. He waited leisurely while swinging his legs on the boulder until Hamon arrived.

When Hamon got there, he looked at Reynolds with serious eyes. He could already guess his plan and knew his life was currently on the line, but he didn’t plan to fight against him.

‘I just need to stall him, that is enough. I’ll escape as soon as he’s overpowering me, then come back again.’ Hamon planned out his tactics.

“So, you’re here?” He asked when he saw Reynolds.

“Yup. I was waiting for you, to think you came foolishly,” Reynolds nodded with a grin.

“I have no reason not to come, don’t think of yourself so highly,” Hamon said. He was comfortable with how things were currently going. If he could get Reynolds to continue speaking, then that would be great.

Reynolds looked at him with a smile, he could almost tell what he was thinking. Unfortunately, he had other plans for him.

“*Sigh* It’s a shame you’ll have to die,” Reynolds continued before jumping down from the boulder.

“This attributes to you, unfortunately,” Hamon replied without showing any fear.

Reynolds smiled, his Elemental Warrior was already in the surrounding area. He hid it somewhere Hamon couldn’t notice it.

“Why are you people searching for me?” Reynolds couldn’t help but ask.

He found this very strange, there was nothing he had that could attract the Crowned Prince.

“You should come with us peacefully if you really want to know,” Hamon replied.

‘Hmm, that should just about be enough. The others shouldn’t be very far by now.’ He thought.

Reynolds was a little disappointed that he didn’t get a good reply from Hamon, but he didn’t really expect him to tell him the answer. Without delaying any further, he attacked.

Buzz!

Boom!

A lightning bolt struck where Hamon was standing, but he wasn’t standing there anymore. He was a Wind Elementalist, and speed was his forte.

He appeared a few meters to the right, “If you think you could…”

Boom!

He was still speaking when another attack was sent towards him. This time, the blast range was larger than the previous time. But just like before, he dodged the attack effortlessly.

‘This is going to be eas…’

Hamon who just appeared stopped thinking midway, he looked down only to see a lightning sword piercing through his chest. The sword accurately pierced through his heart.

“How?…” He asked with blood dripping from the side of his mouth and a look of disbelief.

“Behind you,” Reynolds replied casually.

The Elemental Warrior was standing behind Hamon, with his hand holding onto the lightning sword.

After the first attack, Reynolds had a rough estimation of Hamon’s speed. Getting the Elemental Warrior to sneak attack him became very easy. When he sent the other attack out, he waited for where Hamon would appear and sent the Elemental Warrior there the moment he appeared, not giving any chances of dodging it.

Thud!

Hamon’s lifeless body fell on the floor, with eyes still wide open. Although Reynolds gave him an answer, he couldn’t turn around before he died.

Reynolds waved his hand, and the Elemental Warrior vanished.

“One out, seven to go.”

He made sure to check the corpse of Hamon before leaving, but there was nothing useful on him.

Two minutes after he left, the two young ladies who were with Hamon appeared at the scene of the fight.

“I always knew this fool shouldn’t have been assigned to our unit,” The young lady who felt disgusted by Hamon’s fear of Reynolds said when she saw his corpse.

“Should we go after him?” The other lady asked.

They were in the Third and Fourth stage of the Origin Plane respectively. She was in the Third stage, while the other young lady was in the Fourth stage.

“Of course,” The first young lady answered assertively.

She was not scared, even after seeing Hamon’s corpse. She might not be that much stronger than him, but she felt it was his fear that caused his death.

“Why don’t we wait for the other? Johanne wouldn’t have any problems with tracking him down,” The other young lady advised.

“Don’t tell me you’re scared? We’re two, and you have me. Don’t even bother about that guy, even an Elementalist in the Seventh stage wouldn’t be able to defeat us,” The first young lady said confidently.

“Okay,” The other young lady nodded.

She was in the Third stage, just like Hamon, so it was natural for fear to develop in her heart after seeing his corpse. No one wanted to die, and going after an opponent like Reynolds who could kill them, and they can’t kill was more frustrating.

They followed Reynolds’ trail after coming to a decision.

Five minutes after they left, the other group appeared at the scene.

The leader of the group looked at Hamon’s corpse, “He must’ve separated them after he noticed they signaled us,”

He was able to quickly guess what happened after seeing only one corpse. Hamon would’ve not been able to fight against a high-grade summon that was in the same stage as himself, much less one that was two stages ahead of him.

The leader felt for them to fall for Reynolds’ trap was very foolish of them. He had already guessed the other two young ladies wouldn’t last long as well since they followed after Reynolds’.

“Johanne,” He called out.

“I know what to do,”
