Chapter 1236: Traitors

Title: Composting Team.

Strength: Adept Immortal.

Affiliation: Wargod's Peak (affiliate).

As soon as the Composting Team denied the invocation of the Natural Mandate, a battle had become almost unavoidable.

Kyle told the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep about the changes in Karmic Luck he had noticed, and she quickly reacted.

In the next moment, every member of Team Wooly Sheep, aside from Spring of Joy, charged towards the Composting Team. At the same time, Red and Blue summoned countless materials to build Formation Arrays.

As the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep charged forward, her eyes became cold. She had been warned by Kyle, and even though she didn't want to believe him, she did. She just hoped that her belief wasn't misplaced. If Kyle couldn't do what he claimed he could do, she would lose an Avatar.

The Formation Array Master of Team Wooly Sheep stopped after just a moment, summoning his own materials. He would protect their back.

The Leader of the Composting Team shot towards the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep, Energy gathering on his fist. However, the Energy he was gathering wasn't just Energy from an Imposing Law. There were also Elemental Energies.

He was not using a Refined Law. Instead, he was using one of these techniques that could add power to an Imposing Law. Kyle had seen two of these techniques before, when Black's Team had traveled through the Hell Dimension.

At the same time, everyone activated their Domains. Since the alliance had more Adept Immortals, their Domains won over the Domains of the Composting Team.

The Leader of the Composting Team launched his technique, and a moment later, a colorful fist shot towards the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep. This was not a smart choice since the alliance had the edge when it came to distorting reality. As long as the Domains worked together, they could give the Leader the power to dodge the attack instead of having to confront it. This meant that the opponent would lose a chunk of Energy, while the Leader would barely lose anything.

Reality distorted, and the Leader moved to the side.

That was when the dominance in the battle of the Domains changed. Two of the Domains working for the alliance switched sides, suppressing the Leader instead of supporting her. As expected, the two Adept Immortals had switched sides, as was evident by their sudden and brutal loss of Karmic Luck.

Now, the Leader could no longer avoid the attack, and since she hadn't prepared her Imposing Law, she also couldn't put up an efficient defense. She could still survive the attack, but she would probably lose around 90% of her Energy since she would need to dump ungodly amounts of Energy into her External Law.

Yet, instead of doing just that, she gathered Energy to use her Imposing Law.

The colorful fist approached her, warping reality and keeping her locked in space.

The Leader looked at the attack with severity.

The attack reached her.

BANG!

A lance of lightning suddenly shot past her, hitting the colorful fist directly. Sebastian had launched his Refined Law with as much power as he could muster. It had a higher level than the technique of the enemy Leader, and Sebastian had used the Energy inside his Human and Weapon Avatar, granting it the power of an Adept Immortal.

Sebastian's attack barely won, bits of lightning rushing towards the Composting Team. Sadly, the attack wasn't strong enough to get past their wall of Domains.

The two traitorous Adept Immortals gathered their own Energies while turning around to face Kyle's Avatars. They had told the Composting Team of Kyle's power, and they had also told them that they would take care of his Avatars. As long as he didn't have enough time to create his powerful Formation Arrays, they could kill him.

The Leader of Team Wooly Sheep turned towards the two traitorous Adept Immortals when her Imposing Law had been prepared. The two Adept Immortals hadn't prepared any defenses. This single attack would kill both of them since their Energies were currently busy creating their own Imposing Laws.

But then, the Leader suddenly turned towards the Composting Team and launched her attack at their Leader.

This came as a surprise to the Composting Team. They had been certain that the enemy Leader would immediately attack her former allies. After all, they were much closer and open to an attack! Why attack the fortifications when she could kill two people without any resistance?

She launched her attack, and in response, the Composting Team gathered together. They intensified their Domains, weakening the approaching attack by quite a bit. At the same time, they all invested a bit of Energy into their External Laws to create a wall of powerful Elements.

BANG!

Her attack broke through all of the walls, but its power had been scattered. The five members of the Composting Team united and tanked the remainder of the attack together. They all lost some Energy, but no one had lost too much. Every member had only lost about 15% of their Energy, and their Leader was almost out of Energy. However, the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep was also almost out of Energy.

At that moment, the two traitorous Adept Immortals launched their attacks at Red and Blue.

A small grin appeared on the face of Kyle's Avatars before all of the materials around him suddenly rearranged, creating a new Formation Array. None of the onlookers were familiar with the workings of this Formation Array.

Suddenly, over 50 Grade Nine Energy Stones appeared around Kyle's Avatars, and within an instant, they turned into pure Energy. A violent storm of Energy clouded and distorted reality around Kyle's Avatars as the two attacks arrived.

DING! DING!

The gathered Energy around Kyle converged in two points as the middle joints of Kyle's middle fingers hit the attacks. Energy exploded out of Kyle's Avatars, but it was far less Energy than what one would have expected.

Everyone immediately realized what had happened. Kyle had somehow turned the Energy of 50 Grade Nine Energy Stones into some kind of shield that strengthened his defenses!

They had never heard of a Formation Array that could do something like that!

At that moment, everyone noticed that Abyssal Depths had almost appeared in front of the traitorous Adept Immortals. She had taken advantage of the clash to hide her advance!

Energy gathered around her right foot as she prepared her Imposing Law. The two traitorous Adept Immortals had no defenses. This attack would obliterate both of them. After all, this attack was not launched as an illusory variant but as a physical one. That improved its power by quite a bit.

Abyssal Depths prepared her kick.

Yet, just before launching it, her stance changed. Her left leg suddenly shot forward. Since she was currently activating her Imposing Law with her right leg, her left leg didn't have any Energy on it.

BANG!

When the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep saw what happened next, a storm of emotions ran through her.

There was a Remote Barrier Formation Array between the traitorous Adept Immortals and Abyssal Depth's attack. Remote Barrier Formation Arrays were weaker than normal Barrier Formation Arrays, but they could be created from a distance.

The Leader of Team Wooly Sheep wanted to shout and scream in anger, but she had to focus on the battle.

At this moment, the Energy of Team Wooly Sheep's Formation Array Master dropped like a brick. He had been the one who had protected the traitors.

This was the very thing the Leader didn't want to believe.

There were not two traitors.

But three.

Luckily, Kyle had warned her.

She had expected that the two Adept Immortals would betray her, but she hadn't expected that her Formation Array Master would also betray her. Without Kyle's warnings, she would have attacked the two traitors. Yet, that would have led her right into their trap.

Her Formation Array Master would have dumped all of his Energy into the Remote Barrier Formation Array to block the attack. Then, the Composting Team would have destroyed her Avatar.

After launching her small kick, Abyssal Depths moved upward, her right leg creating an arc around her.

Finally, she launched her Imposing Law as an illusory kick at the distant Composting Team.
