Chapter 138 The Hidden Teleport Mage

At the same time, hundreds of miles away, Ember was still chasing Oween. After pursuing him for more than ten minutes, the two had moved far away from the battlefield where Han Xiao and the others were, and were about to arrive at the location of the teleport mage.

After the death of Arnul, the situation on the battlefield reversed, and the DarkStar warriors became the hunted. No one had time to send a message, so Ember was completely unaware of the sudden changes on the battlefield. In his mind, Arnul was definitely still toying with the annoying mercenaries.

He wasn't worried about Arnul's safety at all. As early as his childhood when he first joined DarkStar, Arnul was already a Calamity Grade high-level combatant in the organization. He had been taught by Arnul since he was a child, and he knew how powerful his mentor was.

Since Arnul took the initiative to stay behind to delay them, he must have absolute confidence. Although his mentor seemed to be somewhat disappointed in him recently, these were unimportant details. Ember was full of confidence in Arnul—with Nagokin's speed, he couldn't even touch the corner of his mentor's clothes, so how could he possibly lose?

Even if he really couldn't win, with his mentor's speed, he could leave whenever he wanted.

The fact that no news had been sent back yet just meant that everything was under control and there was no need to notify him.

Ember thought so.

In order not to attract attention, Ember dispersed the huge cloud of carbon particles, only keeping them around his body. Oween was still escaping in a flying vehicle, and the two maintained a distance.

Oween looked back frequently, sweat on his forehead. "Almost there. When we stop, we'll only have about ten seconds of action time, and then he'll catch up. If we can't complete the teleportation you mentioned within those ten seconds, we're doomed."

Aroshia tilted her head, thought for a moment, and corrected him, "Not we, only you will die."

"...Thanks for the reminder!"

Oween gritted his teeth.

How annoying!

The teleport mage's shop was in sight, and Aroshia suddenly remembered, "Oh right, he was beaten up last time, he might have moved."

Oween: "..."

Bang!

The flying vehicle braked suddenly, crashing through the wall of the bookstore with inertia, creating a hole straight through. The bookshelves in the way were all smashed to pieces, and scraps of paper scattered like exploding fireworks, filling the air.

The two jumped out halfway and landed in the messy bookstore. Time was of the essence, and there was no time to park the flying vehicle and knock on the door.

The counter at the door was also knocked away. Yi Xuan was sitting on a chair, holding a book, staring blankly at the scene in front of him, not yet having recovered. His face wore an expression of "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?" In a word, stunned!

One blink of an eye and my shop collapsed?!

Aroshia pointed at Yi Xuan. "That's him."

"Great, he's still here." Oween breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the hole, and said awkwardly, "At least it's well ventilated."

Yi Xuan opened his mouth, saw Aroshia, and said, "I know you. You're with the mercenaries who beat me up last time."

"I need your help. Please teleport us to the Northern Airport. We need to be fast. Money is no object." Oween didn't dare to delay and went straight to the point.

Yi Xuan was dazed. He looked down at the scraps of paper on the ground, and only then did he react. His whole body shook violently, and the book in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, as if a dagger had been stabbed into his heart. He was so distressed that he could hardly breathe, and let out a non-human wail:

"These are my life's treasures!!"

Oween was anxious. What was the point of worrying about these broken books at a time like this? He spoke quickly, "We're being chased. He's a ruthless killer who belongs to DarkStar. If you don't take us away, he'll kill you too. I'm a Godoran, and I'll give you a high service fee and compensate you for all your losses. There's no time, cast the spell quickly!"

Looking through the hole at the sky, Ember's figure was approaching rapidly. In another two seconds, he would enter his attack range, and he would be able to kill Oween with a flick of his finger.

Oween was sweating profusely, nervously watching the teleport mage who was hesitating. They hadn't discussed it beforehand, and he didn't know if the mage in front of him would help. This was their only hope of escape.

At this moment, Aroshia said, "My friend said that if you don't help, he'll come looking for you again."

Hearing this, Yi Xuan opened the teleportation gate without saying a word. The swirling blue light illuminated the surroundings with magical brilliance.

Oween was overjoyed and rushed in. Yi Xuan didn't dare to delay either. He didn't want to stay behind and use his delicate mage body to face the pursuer's wrath.

Buzz—

With a flash of light, the teleportation gate closed, and the three disappeared without a trace.

What Ember saw when he rushed in was this scene. His expression changed drastically, his face was covered with dark clouds, and he was furious.

He had lost them again!

He thought Oween was at the end of his rope, but he didn't know that there was a hidden teleport mage here.

If it weren't for Iso, the Legendary Mechanic Han would not have known that there was a hidden teleport mage here, and this tactic would not have been possible. At the time, Han Xiao did not expect to be involved in a DarkStar traitor chase.

Ember looked at the empty room and clenched his fists. Only a mage who was also proficient in teleportation could track him in reverse. Now that the traitor had escaped to another place, he had lost the clues and could not continue to chase him.

He wondered if he had been having bad luck recently. How could he always encounter unexpected situations? Even this almost certain mission had failed. Mentor Arnul was probably furious.

Ember let out a sigh of frustration and took out his communicator to contact Arnul. The mission had failed, and he needed to send the information back as soon as possible. Everything needed to be reconsidered.

Buzz...

The communicator flickered, and Arnul's face appeared on the screen. He frowned and asked, "Did you get him?"

Ember shook his head and explained the situation.

"You're such a waste!" Arnul said angrily.

Ember's body stiffened, and he felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time he had been scolded so harshly. It seemed that his mentor was really furious.

"Where do you think the traitor escaped to?"

"I don't know. I have no clues," Ember replied.

"If they escaped on a spaceship, it would save us a lot of trouble," Arnul said.

Ember nodded. The DarkStar fleet was already on high alert around Norios, ready to intercept them at any time. As long as the traitor tried to escape by ship, he would fall into the fleet's encirclement.

"How's the situation on your side?" Ember asked in return.

"Hmph, the situation is at a stalemate. Hurry back. I've held the enemy back. As long as you can get here in time, we can join forces to eliminate the Godorans and Black Star's mercenaries. If we can't catch the traitor, then we'll eliminate these enemies first."

"Alright!"

Ember's eyes lit up, and he turned back in the direction he had come from, eager to rejoin Arnul. The thought of being able to kill Black Star made his depressed mood as bright as the sky after the clouds had cleared.

...

The protective shield was still doing its job, isolating this area, but the situation had become one-sided. The DarkStar warriors were constantly defeated, falling one after another.

In the center of the ruins, Arnul ended his communication with Ember, turned off the communicator, and tapped his cheek with his finger. A matrix-like circuit flashed across his face, and his appearance changed rapidly, revealing Han Xiao's face.

Taking off the simulation mask, Han Xiao rubbed his face and looked at Nagokin beside him, smiling, "I lured him back, and there's good news. Oween successfully escaped."

Nagokin laughed heartily, his face full of joy. He pressed his fingers, and his joints cracked. "Beautiful, my fists weren't full enough."

Han Xiao nodded and also breathed a sigh of relief. Acting was also very tiring. After Arnul's death, he had picked up the communicator and immediately thought of a use for it.

DarkStar only had Ember left at the Calamity Grade, and the balance of power had finally shifted. Although Ames' Character Summon Card had already been used, Nagokin was also very strong. Adding himself, they might be able to encircle and attack Ember, and the feasibility was very high. The only problem was whether Ember knew what had happened here. If the other party found out, they would definitely retreat.

Just at this moment, the communicator received Ember's call request. Han Xiao immediately took out the simulation mask, scanned Arnul's body, disguised himself as him, and tried to test Ember by imitating his tone.

While acting, Han Xiao was really sweating, because he didn't know what Arnul's usual tone was like. So he carefully observed Ember's reaction, and finally came to the conclusion that Ember respected Arnul very much.

Ember didn't doubt Han Xiao's words, and didn't notice some small differences. On second thought, this was also normal. Only if Arnul died would others be able to obtain his communicator.

In Ember's eyes, this was an impossible thing, so he was kept in the dark.

"Not only that, his reaction confirmed one thing for me, there really is a DarkStar fleet lying in ambush in outer space." Han Xiao took out his communicator, and while trying to contact Aroshia, he said to Nagokin, "I didn't expect to kill a Calamity Grade enemy. In this way, we have more room to maneuver. The pursuit force is almost completely destroyed. We don't have to risk sending Oween away."

Nagokin thought for a moment and felt that this made sense, nodding in agreement.

A rigid plan was never as good as adapting to circumstances.

At this time, the Guardian who had been waiting on the side came up, looked down at Arnul's body, sighed heavily, and said with a regretful expression, "You actually killed him. Alas, if I hadn't been attacked by him, I wouldn't have been a step late."

The two immediately looked at each other.

This person was extremely vindictive!

Wonderful, wonderful!

The Guardian pretended to be regretful for a while, then turned his head to look at the two, his gaze focused on Han Xiao, his eyes full of undisguised surprise.

After a pause, he didn't say anything and slowly retreated. The DarkStar people were already dead, and he had no intention of interfering.

He had seen Arnul on the verge of death just now, and if he were to intervene now, Godora would understand it as deliberately obstructing them, so he adapted to the situation and gave up on rescuing him.

Upholding neutrality was so difficult.

Nagokin withdrew his gaze and looked at Han Xiao, hesitantly asking, "Your ability just now... seems to be related to the Dragon Emperor?"

This doubt had been lingering in his mind, and he only had the opportunity to ask it now. He knew that his feeling was right. The power just now was definitely at the Super Grade A level. Why could Black Star use the Dragon Emperor's ability? What was their relationship?

If he were to send this information back to the War Affairs Bureau, the intelligence department would probably have to reassess Black Star's position in Longtan.

"It's nothing, I just did some minor work."

Han Xiao waved his hand, looking humble.

Nagokin's gaze became even more serious. A few days ago, he felt that the chances of this mission were slim, and even with Han Xiao's help, his pessimism wasn't reduced much. But Han Xiao's role far exceeded his imagination.

If Arnul's body wasn't lying next to him, he wouldn't have believed it even if he was beaten to death. He was facing a situation where he was being attacked by two Calamity Grades, but not only was he not seriously injured, he was even able to kill one of them.

Two against one and he was killed, unbelievable!

The sounds of battle around them gradually became sparse, meaning that there were fewer and fewer DarkStar warriors, and the environment was a mess.

Han Xiao said in a deep voice, "Stop chatting, the battle isn't over yet. There are still DarkStar people alive. Before Ember comes back, quickly eliminate them. Don't leave any behind."

...

Swoosh!

The battleship blade cut through flesh and blood, cutting Xieman, whose face was full of panic, in half, and blood spurted out.

Melos breathed a sigh of relief and put away his weapon. After fighting for a long time, he finally killed this dwarf gunner. After the enemy's morale collapsed, their courage also collapsed, and he killed the opponent in one fell swoop.

He was about to step away when his footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned around and came to Xieman's body, picked up the fallen giant gun, weighed it in his hand a few times, and muttered to himself.

"Black Star should like this kind of spoils."

With the giant gun on his shoulder, Melos swaggered away from the scene.

...

Bang!!

Xin Haisa's brain exploded into a pool of minced meat and fell to the ground, his body still twitching instinctively.

Morning Star rubbed her hoarse voice from singing loudly, closed her eyes, and repaired the mental damage. The opponent was not weak either, and she had spent a lot of energy.

"Fording, I saved your life, so your body will be the reward." Morning Star hummed.

Fording in her mind smiled helplessly and did not respond.

Morning Star looked up at the protective shield, her eyes flashed, and she muttered to herself, "Now I can't get out, I can only pretend that Fording is contacting the mercenaries. As long as I'm not recognized, I can escape when I have the freedom to act."

She wanted to hide the fact that the controller of the body had changed. It was not difficult to pretend to be Fording. Her senses were connected to Fording's, and she knew Fording's habits like the back of her hand, which was enough to achieve 100% similarity.

As soon as she thought of Han Xiao, the culprit, Morning Star felt bad.

But as long as she deceived this guy, she would be free.

She was very confident in her acting skills, she was a great artist!
