Chapter 703: Chapter 703. The Oasis

Chapter 703. The Oasis

The orc team continued staying on the move as Four Winds was thinking of a plan. They stopped once in a while as Disco Rain performed her incorporeal state sensing.

"That's weird," Disco Rain said as she opened her eyes. "That human team is still tailing us."

Disco Rain had found out about Red Death and the others during her previous sessions. Four Winds then instructed them to change direction since he had not thought of a suitable plan. But every time they did, the human team adjusted their directions.

"They probably had a skill that can track us," Water Lily said.

"Like the Track Monster skill but on a person?" Disco Rain asked. She had the Track Monster skill, but she was oblivious about the Track Person skill.

"I think that is a high probability," Water Lily said.

"That means he was tracking one of us?" Violent Blizzard said.

"If that is true, then Disco Rain is most likely the one that they track," Four Winds said.

"Me?" Disco Rain felt liable.

"If this skill is like the Track Monster, then only the red-haired assassin or the gunner possesses it. You are the only one that comes close to any of them," Four Winds said. "Don't feel bad about it. It can't be helped. Furthermore, we might be able to use this to our advantage."

"You mean to set up an ambush?" Water Lily asked.

"Yes," Four Winds said. "This place is too open, it will be difficult to set up an ambush."

"Actually, I found something else during my search," Disco Rain said as she pointed in a direction. "Over there is an oasis. There are some trees and bushes around it. Not much but it should be enough if we want to hide in them. Also, I sense the place to have a rather strong presence of mana."

"There is such a place? Let's head over and have a look first then."

The four then ran over. During their journey, Four Winds and Violent Blizzard's HP had recovered to full due to their body recovery skill, while Disco Rain and Water Lily's lost HP remained lost.

The oasis came into view soon. As they came closer, they sensed what Disco Rain had described. All of them could sense mana. From the sensation this place gave, they suspected it was not just a normal oasis.

As they came to beside the water, they saw the clear freshwater. The unusual mana they felt come from this water.

After gazing at the water for a while, Disco Rain asked, "Should we drink it?"

"We don't know if there will be any effect," Water Lily said. "For all we know, we might get instant death from drinking it."

"It's an oasis in the middle of the desert," Disco Rain said. "I don't think they will put an oasis filled with poison water here. It will be completely out of context, don't you think?"

"I'm just saying we should be prudent," Water Lily shrugged.

"We won't find out just by talking about it. My HP is the highest, I will give it a try," Violent Blizzard uttered.

<br/>She came to the water edge equipped with her greatsword. Four Winds didn't say anything to stop her. She squatted down, one hand still holding the greatsword while the other he used to touch the water. The water rippled. Otherwise, nothing happened.

After a while, she stored her greatsword. With two cupped hands, she scooped the clear water and brought it to her mouth. After drinking it, a soft blue glow swirled around her body.

"This…!" She stood up in consternation.

"What happened? Why are you glowing?" Water Lily asked worriedly.

Violent blizzard turned around and told them, "All of you should drink this water. I just get a buff from drinking it."

"A buff?" Water Lily asked, amazed.

Disco Rain didn't wait for instruction, she came to the oasis and drank a scoop as well. Her body soon glowed. Not only that, her HP was instantly filled after drinking the water.

"This water is awesome!" She exclaimed. "All my attributes are boosted by 100%, my defense and resistances by 50%, My HP and Stamina by 30%, and damage by 20%, the cooldown time of all my skills had also been reset. This buff even lasted a long one hour."

"Incredible," Water Lily uttered. She and Four Winds went and drank the water as well.

After the two drank the water, they also got the buff.

"So, should we hide here and wait for them?" Disco Rain asked. She was about to do her incorporeal state again to check their enemies' positions.

"No, we can't let them find out about this oasis!" Four Winds uttered. "Let's lure them somewhere else. With this buff, it doesn't matter anymore if we don't find a hiding place. This buff itself serves as an ambush."

"Why are we keep on moving zigzagged?" Princess Purple complained.

"We are following our opponents. If they move zigzagged, then we move zigzagged," Red Death replied crudely.

"When are we striking them? We can't keep on following them without end," Yellow Death also complained.

"Then move faster! I can't be blamed if we have two slowpokes with us," Red Death said. Princess Purple was pouting from the words. Giant Steve, on the other hand, didn't give it any mind. "Wait, they are slowing down!"

The four then continued with their chase. After a while, their prey was finally in sight.

"The Elementalist is at the back, good!" Red Death uttered. "Let's close in silently. When we are close enough, I will use Vanish and approach to make the first strike. Yellow, prepare to back me up. Giant, use Share Damage and Urgent Save on me, just in case. Purple, use Bless on me. If everything goes smoothly, I should be able to take down the Elementalist in a short time before the others react. I will then run back. If they chase, we will face them together. It will then be four against three."

"They looked like they can sense mana, won't they find out you are coming at them?" Giant Steve asked.

"What sense mana?" Princess Purple asked.

Red Death didn't bother explaining, she simply replied, "I will be too close by then. Don't worry, she won't escape me."

The four then proceeded forward behind the orc team who were walking normally. When they were close enough and saw that their opponents didn't check their six, they proceeded with what Red Death had instructed before.

After receiving all the skills, Red Death used Vanish. She was teleported randomly, but after that, she ran towards Water Lily who was at the back of the group. The group was even traveling at a decent distance from one another, which boosted Red Death's confidence.

She slowed down a little to allow her Silent Step to fully eliminate her running sound. Silent Step couldn't eliminate all sounds if she went top speed. Each level and star of this skill determined how much speed she needed to reduce to eliminate her footstep sound. She also activated Light Foot, which increased her movement speed but she didn't activate the skill for its movement boost. This skill was so that her running didn't disturb the sand nor create footprints.

When she was getting close, she noticed her four opponents were glowing a strange soft light. The Elementalist and assassin's HP was again full, which was weird considering they had no healer and couldn't use items or tools. Although Red Death felt that something was awry, it was too late to alter the plan.

When she almost reached Water Lily, she saw her opponent react which was not strange considering her opponent had mana sense. Red Death used Back Shift, teleporting to the enemy's back. She then used Phase Strike to teleport again, using the consecutive shift trick to throw her opponent off balance.

Yet, as she was about to stab, she sensed danger incoming. She turned in time and saw Four Winds using Jump Assault. He was almost upon her. She used Roll to dodge. When her Roll ended, Disco Rain was in that position, about to stab her.

She parried the strike but Disco Rain disappeared using Phase Strike. Red Death could only shift her body position a little to avoid being backstabbed. She ended up receiving the attack at her side waist.

The entire sequence had been too fast that the other three humans reacted late. By the time Yellow Death took Shooting Stance and opened fire, Violent Blizzard was in between them, blocking the shot. Giant Steve ran forward to provide backup but a large area spell, Ice Field, from Water Lily hit him, slowing him down.

Red Death who was clashing with Disco Rain was in alarm. The prowess Disco Rain exhibited was very different from their clash earlier. She was much faster and stronger. Every time their dagger collided, she felt her arms tremble from the impact.

Red Death used Combat Clone. Disco Rain countered with the same skill. The fake fought against the fake.

Red Death sensed danger from her back, but as she turned, her vision was covered by unlimited starlights. She parried as best she could but many slashes hit her. Even when her damage was shared with Giant Steve, her HP still went down rapidly.

When her HP fell to 30%, Giant Steve teleported to her side. But before the Sentinel could do anything, the ground he teleported to lighthen up, Prison Turbulence came up, locking him inside. Water Lily had predicted the use of Urgent Save skill.

Giant Steve could only watch from inside the Prison Turbulence as Red Death fell, Princess Purple's heal couldn't keep up with the damage she suffered.
