Will of chaos

Chapter 448 Cap 447: Battle In The Forest Part 1(Chapter Preview)

Today everything was ready for the attack, I would be in charge of taking care of the Wood Elemental that is responsible for this attack, so I had to keep an eye on a large area while I wait, so I'm hiding between the leaves of a tree which causes illusions when surrounded by mist, so we made the mist spread for miles in this forest.

Our initial target isn't SSS Grade monsters and below, we're looking at higher level monsters like Lower Catastrophe Grade monsters.

I'll let all the monsters that aren't too much of a risk go through to deal with the army being led by Ivan and another Elf I don't know very well.

I am responsible for observing everything from afar until it is time to act, I will do this by spreading my Aura for 27 kilometers in all directions, this is the maximum range for my Aura to go before it starts to damage my mind, beyond Furthermore, I am unable to move in this state as my mind has to be completely focused, so I am hidden.

I learned a lot in the last few days, one thing I thought about was how I was able to blend my Aura with the environment when I was evolving, I did that when I lost control of my Aura, but the important thing is that I was able to do that.

When Freya became an Ancient Elf her Aura blended in with the environment and became difficult to detect, I realized that and also realized that she had the same Nature Aura that I have, so if she can do that, why should I? I can't?

I spent the last few days training this, sometimes I also asked for help from the Elf Queen who was teaching Freya.

Over time I was able to do this in the Cradle of Fairies and Spirits inside the Dungeon on the mansion floor, after some time I managed to do it in other places in the Dungeon away from the Cradles, but how much I tried to say outside the Dungeon That's when I ran into a wall that was hard to get over.

The environment inside the Dungeon belongs to me which made it easier for me to mix my Aura into the environment, but outside the Dungeon it wasn't so easy, I felt like I was trying to mix water and oil, it took me two whole days to get this done.

I was only able to do this in the end because I had help from Ragnar who seemed to have a very deep knowledge of Auras, he was even able to do what I was training so hard to do.

I was relieved to be able to do this in time for the plan, of course, this is still something difficult for me to do, especially in an area of ??27 kilometers in all directions like now, but I'm sure someone expert in Aura manipulation would be able to from noticing my Aura almost immediately, I just hope this monster doesn't have Aura abilities, otherwise, it will sense my location too fast and spoil the plan.

I don't want to go for plan B, that would be a direct attack which prevents me from predicting the outcome and I don't like unpredictable things when my teammates' lives are at stake.

What I can do is stick with plan A for now.

-----------

After some more time, I feel something entering my Aura range, it was a small number of monsters at first, but little by little I could see that there were more and more monsters.

"(It's them.)" (I)

As time passed my Aura picked up some very strong monsters in the midst of the monster horde that was coming towards us, I use my parallel mind skill to warn others about the enemy's direction.

After some more time, I see the whole horde of monsters, I also noticed that the strongest ones were falling behind little by little, but it wasn't of their own volition, they seemed to be following orders from a specific monster which helped me to identify my target.

It seems that this monster wants the weakest to attack first to make the Elves waste their strength before the stronger ones attack, he himself is going after the other Lower Catastrophe Grade monsters, he wants to use all these monsters to stay safe.

From the speed of these monsters, we only have about an hour before they arrive, but I've already warned everyone, all I can do now is wait.

After more than 30 minutes the leading monster that was the Wood Elemental seems to have realized that he is being watched, he looks around as if looking for something, probably me, but he didn't find anything.

I don't think he sensed my Aura, maybe it's some kind of survival instinct warning him that a predator is watching him from the shadows.

He was smart and positioned himself in the middle of four monsters to protect himself after a while without finding anything around him.

I spend the rest of my time watching waiting for my moment to fight, I watch them get closer until they enter the area with the highest density of the fog.

When this happens I keep an eye out when suddenly multiple magic circles are activated at the same time by the Fairies, these are hundreds of illusion spells being used at the same time.

This is the trap that Rakan had to go through several sleepless nights to make sure it worked.

I see the monsters getting confused, but they keep heading in the same direction, but I also see a lot of monsters getting out of the way and scattering.

Lower Catastrophe Grade monsters are also confused, but they are being held together by the Wood Elemental, at least for now.

After a few more minutes they start to go around in circles, the weaker monsters at some point are slowly leaving the illusion area being guided by monsters that are less affected by the illusions or simply following random paths due to confusion.

The Lower Catastrophe Grade monsters also have monsters that are less affected by the illusion and soon return to their path, but this time where they were confused was enough for me, now the weaker monsters are away from the stronger ones, this will make it easier in combats of others.

I wait as the monsters get more and more angry, then I see a Moon Spirit going through the illusion unaffected and throwing a large magic crystal ball into the midst of the monsters causing a huge explosion in their midst.

Just as I imagined, almost all of the Lower Catastrophe Grade Monsters survived, they were 32 monsters at first, but now there are 29, that big explosion that even made a mushroom cloud of dust only managed to kill 3 of them, but the objective It wasn't killing them, monsters with that kind of strength aren't that easy to kill, I just wanted to tear them apart and hurt them.

Just as I planned they were launched in different directions but were still reasonably close to each other, I couldn't let this opportunity pass.

Everyone was on standby in the surroundings waiting for the signal that was this explosion, now it's all over.

The divide and conquer plan ends while the real plan of attack begins now.

Just as I expected everyone to take advantage of the blast to start attacking, Nix was already waiting and just as a Cyclops was ready to fall to the ground with one less arm that he lost in the blast, he had a Black Dragon tail going through his chest before being pulled into a large shadow beneath him disappearing.

I also saw a monster that looked like a three meter tall red lizard being torn apart into tiny pieces before landing on the ground by Layla's spatial magic which causes a shower of disgusting green blood in the surroundings.

A monster that looked like a Stone Golem went and fell to the ground right in front of Ragnar who was in his true form, he was calm while the Golem was recovering, when the Golem that must have been about 5 meters tall tried to punch him, the only thing Ragnar did was focus his Aura on his horn that looks like a red crystal blade and slightly shake his head.

What happened next was the Golem was in pieces and a ditch was in the ground as if it had been cut by a great sword.

Hela made a blade of bones more than three meters in the air and cut a monster that was heading toward her, in another place I see Lilith who creates a sword of blood and makes a small cut on a bird covered in silver feathers, in a short time the bird's body starts to rot and he dies, so Érica appears hidden on the other side.

The two used powerful curses to kill this monster that was already injured by the explosion.

Everyone takes advantage of this surprise attack opportunity to the best of their ability, but now it's time for the real battle to begin.

I see that all the monsters are going to have at least one person fighting them, so I bring my Aura back and stand up looking in the direction where the Wood Elemental is.

"Now, it's my turn."  (I)
