Re:Immortal

Chapter 99

"Damn it! Just our luck to meet them here!" Grumbled Silas, a large floating book was suddenly summoned in front of him as he took a defensive state.

Omis's face had a frown on it as he watched the scene in front of them. It was a battlefield, no it's best to say that what they were looking at was the aftermath of a battle.

The two sides were none other than the 'Hive' and the 'hunters'. It appeared that the 'Hive' minions were standing guard in front of the mortal gate when the 'hunters' suddenly appeared.

Their battle had already concluded with the 'hunters' overwhelming victory. Omis and Silas were looking at them cleaning up the battleground.

The 'hunters' had already spotted them but surprisingly did not make any move. They simply continued on cleaning out the aftermath and looting the corpses of the 'Hive' minions.

"Is this one of their raids?" Asked Omis as he scanned them with his divine sense.

"It appears so." Answered back Silas in a serious tone, his floating book still close to him as he stood on guard against them.

"There's around two hundred of them. One hundred of which are in the profound Immortal while the rest are Golden Immortals. The only exceptions I can feel are four Immortal Venerables with someone that I can't sense?"

"You a God realm can't sense them? Does that mean?" Muttered Silas, shocked his voice cracking in anxiety.

"Not necessarily, it feels like they are using a treasure to hide their cultivation base. That person must be the leader." Replied Omis.

As the two were talking about that, the group of 'hunters' suddenly began to move. While they were previously unorganized and were simply looting the corpses of the fallen, now they abruptly began to shift as they stood strong and firm, forming one large formation in the sky as they faced Omis and Silas.

"Hey, hey, this is not looking good master Omis." Said Silas as he gulped down. His heart was beating wildly in his chest.

While he was an Immortal Venerable himself, the numbers of their enemies were too much. Besides they also had an unknown entity in their ranks. Glancing at Omis, Silas was surprised to see him standing there calmly with Lu Lu in his arms while facing the army.

Unknowingly, Silas found himself calming down as he gazed at Omis's sturdy back. His back looked like a sturdy mountain, calm, and collected. It appeared as if nothing was able to shake him.

'That's right, Omis is a God realm cultivator that had even been acknowledged by the 'Hive'! Things should be okay, right?' Silas assured himself as he glanced at the army ahead.

Suddenly, the rows of people standing there in the air began to shift, they all parted ways in the middle allowing a single person to calmly walk out.

She had long azure hair, the venomous eyes on her emotionless face were out of the ordinary. Those were the eyes of a person who had killed countless of people before.

Omis had met her gaze as the two seemed to size up one another. He had no memory of such a person, she was without a doubt a 'player'.

All of the 'hunters' were players. But Omis was unable to recall someone as formidable as her in the game.

'Did she just appear recently?' He thought to himself.

Her face was devoid of any sort of emotion, if purple ghost was a maniac that seemed to belong to a crazy cult. The person in front of him was the exact opposite. She was too calm, too collected. It sent shivers down Omis's spine but his face did not betray his inner thoughts.

The silence was almost deafening as the two sides continued to size one another. Silas could feel the tension in the air as his heart threatened to leap out of his chest.

Suddenly, the duo almost instantly made their move.

*Boooom*

An ear ripping explosion abruptly occurred in the sky above the army and Silas, before he even had the time to figure out what was happening, Omis had already sent Lu Lu towards him and disappeared.

'Damn it! What the hell was that?!' Grumbled Silas as he quickly erected a barrier using his floating book to protect both himself and Lu Lu from the shockwaves of the clash above.

The two monsters did not stop their assault against each other, as the sounds of their battle were heard clearly all across the skies.

Glancing nervously at the army a distance away from him, Silas was surprised to see that they did not make any move but simply stood there and watched the battle above with stoic expressions.

'Were these really members of the 'hunters'?!' He asked himself. The ones he was familiar with were crazy people that spewed nonsense all the time about the truth and whatnot as they tried to convert the rest of the Immortals to join them.

But the ones in front of him were anything but that. He had seen their leader. She was dangerous, those were not the eyes of a normal person, no.

If not for the bizarre star-shaped symbol that shone brightly in the middle of their foreheads, Silas might have even mistaken them for something else.

What the hell is going on?

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Silas hurriedly scanned his surroundings for a chance to escape should things go south. Omis was now facing the enemy commander and for whatever reason, their army doesnt seem to have any plans on attacking them.

Omis can take care of himself if things dont work out. But for me. Letting out a deep sigh, he glanced at Lu Lu in his arms as he continued to rack his brain for a plan.

The gate was behind them, there was no way he could simply pass them unnoticed and teleport away. Perhaps if he was alone, he might manage.

As he reached this train of thought, Silas once again glanced at Lu Lu in his arms and then at Omis fighting in the sky before shaking his head and letting out another tired sigh.

This is bad, I knew I would regret this. I knew it. He grumbled. Before he could continue with his monologue, the battle above suddenly came to an abrupt halt as both sides disappeared.

Omis reappeared in front of him while the lady commander appeared in the distance within her army.

What the? Unconsciously muttered Silas as he kept glancing at the two unable to comprehend what had just happened.
