Chapter 259 - How Did He Do It?!

Moss saw the figure and knew another team had arrived. He patted Little Seven’s horn, summoned two shields, and flew toward the Mutant T-rex.

He flapped two shields and soared into the sky as the T-rex guarded its group of beasts. He reached a certain height and glided toward the T-rex. During this time, he did not immediately use Absolute Defense.

Moss did that because he wanted to see if his defense stat could withstand the guarding beasts’ attacks. More importantly, he wanted to wait for the best time to attack and the most effective attack point before using Absolute Defense.

After all, Absolute Defense only lasted one minute.

Landis was shocked when he saw Moss’s actions. He sighed inwardly, ‘So, knights can do these things?”

…

When Cosmo and Stuart’s teams arrived at the core, they were utterly stunned by the scene. They saw the old beggar riding a Bloodthirsty Bighorn Sheep around a 30-meter-wide group of Magical Beasts.

In the circle’s center, a masked person glided above the T-rex and many beasts. The masked person’s speed was astonishing as there were afterimages between his ups and downs.

The injured Skinny Monkey pointed forward, limping toward Stuart beside him, and said in shock, “Isn’t that Name Stolen?! H-How could he…”

“Why are you panicking?!” Stuart glanced at Cosmo from the corner of his eyes and purposely shouted, “This shouldn’t be a problem with a platinum member like Cosmo!”

After saying that, he approached Cosmo and said respectfully, “Big Brother Cosmo, that guy is Name Stolen, and he’s only a gold member. If he can fight the S-rank beast, the beast isn’t as powerful as the rumors say.

“The beasts on the outer perimeter don’t seem helpful to the S-rank beast. Even the old beggar riding a sheep can handle them.”

“Do you think we should charge in now and destroy that S-rank beast?! We don’t want the other teams behind us to catch up and steal our thunder, do we?” Cosmo looked at the other teams flashing behind him as he spoke.

He wanted to wait for the others to get closer and attack the beasts together. However, his heart started to stir when he heard Stuart’s intense words.

Cosmo looked at the constantly approaching figures behind him and gritted his teeth as if he had made a great decision. It was worth the gamble for the reward.

After a moment, Cosmo shouted, “Everyone, attack together! Victory is right before us!”

Since the boss had spoken, his underlings could not disobey. All of Cosmo’s members attacked the beasts before them as soon as Cosmo finished speaking.

Stuart and the others followed behind team Cosmo and wandered around the perimeter to support them. As soon as they exchanged blows with the beasts, the team members realized the beasts were not as weak as Stuart said.

They felt betrayed. However, they saw Name Stolen and the circle’s center, which seemed to be an illusion. The others felt like Name Stolen was in an entirely different league than them.

The others fought hard against the outer perimeter beasts but could only brace themselves and attack from the inside to obtain rewards. Otherwise, how could they complete the mission if they could not even touch a hair on the S-rank beast?

Moreover, Cosmo had taken the lead as the group leader, so the others could only grit their teeth and charge forward. However, the more they fought, the more suspicious they became.

“Every word King Guo said was accurate. He even said these beasts’ attacks are ineffective. If this is ineffective, then what is effective?”

“It’s already difficult to fight these dinosaurs one-on-one, let alone deal with this circular formation they have set up!”

“It’s pointless to continue like this. I used nine oxen and two tigers to kill a Savage Dragon! Not to mention, even the leader would need to spend four to five minutes killing a spinosaurus.”

“If this continues, when will we teach the T-rex?!”

“I’m starting to doubt my entire life. How is Name Stolen doing this?! Not to mention he’s alone!”

…

As Cosmo’s team communicated through their earphones, two more teams rushed toward the core.

The Buried City members could not do anything against the large group of beasts on the outer perimeter, even with two more teams. They could only brace themselves and attack from the outside.

A smile appeared on Landis’s face when he saw four teams coming to attack from the outside. “Now we can depend on the others to deal with the beasts guarding the T-rex.”

He patted Little Seven’s horn and pointed at Moss in the circle’s center. “Let’s go and support him!”

Little Seven’s horn kept rising as if he understood Landis. “Baa, baa!”

Little Seven carried the older man and charged toward the group of beasts. Upon hearing Little Seven’s cries, some of the weaker beasts panicked and dodged to the sides.

However, Little Seven collided head-on with the more powerful beasts that stood in its way. Although Little Seven’s body was relatively weaker in its youth stage compared to the enormous beasts, it was still a mythical beast—the Sacred Tabu Sheep.

The beasts that Little Seven hit fainted one after another. During this process, Landis did not stay idle. He continuously removed blue-purple glass bottles from his pocket and threw them at the surrounding beasts.

He was a veteran alchemist. The blue-purple potions he used were illusion potions he had developed to turn his enemies into allies. After inhaling the illusion gas, one would think of the user as their own.

A moment later, Little Seven and Landis arrived at the circle’s center with the help of the other beasts that had inhaled Landis’s illusion gas.

“Roar!” The T-rex became even more irritable when it saw another intruder.

Previously, Little Seven was at the perimeter, far away. It did not display its spiritual power and unique aura, so the T-rex did not sense its presence.

However, it quickly reacted when Little Seven got close, crazily spraying flames at Moss and Little Seven. It retreated to a triangular position and faced Moss and Little Seven, roaring continuously at Little Seven.

The surrounding dinosaurs heard the T-rex’s roars and rushed in Little Seven’s direction.

“This is it!” Moss’s heart shook. He knew his chance to attack had arrived because Little Seven and Landis’s arrival had attracted the T-rex’s attention.

He revealed a smug smile and immediately activated Absolute Defense. He waved his five-star fire-imbued Red Flame Holy Sword and struck the T-rex’s legs.

A dark red halo passed through the T-rex’s legs.

“Roar!” A terrifying scream shook the entire core as the T-rex finally realized how terrifying the human was. The human had sliced through the T-rex’s steel-like legs, making it crazier.

It roared as it continuously spat flames at Moss, wanting to incinerate the human.
