It was quite peculiar indeedQin Ruo could only hear Yaegars voice, yet the old Alchemist was nowhere to be seen.

After hearing the news Yaegar brought him, Qin Ruo started to scan his surrounding areas with extra vigilance, trying to find that monster that Yaegar had warned him of.

Save it. You cant see it yet.

Yaegars voice rang in Qin Ruos ears again.

Edgar said the Divine Specter is now hidden amongst the Undead Horde ahead. Unless your eyes can see through ten thousands of specters, theres no point in finding it now. The more important thing now is to figure out how to retreat from this mess.

Qin Ruo pondered with a frown after hearing this. This time, he felt Yaegars words werent a bluff. The situation was indeed dire!

Although he had anticipated a difficult Boss battle after commencing the Project Pioneer, Qin Ruo didnt think he would face a Divine Specter this early.

Even Edgar and Yaegar, the Demigod Champions, were hiding from it for forty years. This Divine Specter was surely much stronger than the likes of a Lich.

Nonetheless, running away wasnt an option for him

Taking in a deep breath, Qin Ruo scanned at the defense lines around Camp Edgar with his eyes. Over thirty thousand Fallen Angels were clashing fiercely with the Undead. They were all doing their best to hold the line. So, how could he leave them?

After taking hours to get here, there was no way anyone would listen to a command to retreat. At least, Qin Ruo himself wouldnt heed to this command.

Thus, Qin Ruo turned and spoke to an empty space in reply to Yaegar, Since the Divine Specters here, well give them a good fight. Its also a good experience for us to take on the fabled Divine Tier Boss. Besides

Pausing momentarily, Qin Ruo looked at the Undead horde that was attacking from all sides. After being surrounded by this many specters, there was no way they could flee.

This was the Underworld

The Return Scrolls were all unusable. The huge Warp Portal behind them could only allow players to teleport in, not out of the area. Other than that, the Warp Portals that were connected to the Mythical Continent had all been destroyed by him earlier too.

The only way out was to ask the Summoners to send everyone away

However, every single Summoner from the Fallen Angels League was gathered here. Heck, not just the Fallen Angels League, all Four Leagues Summoners were all here.

Every means of escape was all unavailable for them. They all had had no other options besides fighting the Undead Horde with everything they had got.

Besides, there was no way the Divine Boss was unbeatable. Every Boss, no matter how strong, had a weakness. The Divine Boss surely had some weaknesses too

As long as they werent overly strong to the point they couldnt take on them, Qin Ruo believed he could find a way to overcome this. There were over ten thousands of elite players at Camp Edgar at the momentsome of them were Veteran Champions themselves. There were also over thousands of Radiant Priests and Priestesses on their side.

If fighting fair and square didnt work, they could still use some sly underhanded tactics. There was no way they couldnt beat the Divine Boss!

***

Looks like youve decided to stay.

Yaegar, with a grim voice, continued, Since youve made up your mind, I wish you best of luck. Again, dont forget thisall three of us will only leave when the Warp Portal is destroyed.

Right after he finished his words, Qin Ruo asked, Could you at least tell me exactly where the Divine Specter is? The direction and coordinates?

You want to face it head on yourself? Yaegar responded with a smug voicewarriors from the Mythical Continent were so full of themselves these days. They had no idea just how huge the gap in strength they had. They had no idea just what this Divine Tier meant!

Ive not decided yet. However, if you could tell me his location itd be much easier for us to hold our ground when it comes. Itd help decrease the casualties too.

After a long silence, Yaegar finally responded, Our leader says it is now just straight ahead of you, 300 meters away from the defense line

Frowning, Qin Ruo looked at Camp Edgar, which was hundreds of meters behind him and then at the hundreds of meters ahead from the defense line. His jaw almost fell to the ground.

That far?!

Just how did you find the Divine Specter?

Qin Ruo couldnt help but express the question that was puzzling him

The distance between the Divine Specter and Camp Edgar was at least 500 meters apart.

In normal circumstances, a Bowmaster could indeed easily locate a target that was 500 meters away. Yet, right now, there were over thousands and thousands of human players and specters in this distance!

Even if Edgar had x-ray vision, how did he locate that one sole targetthe Divine Specter amongst the crowd? And more importantly, Edgar hadnt even left his camp at all!

How? With his eyes, of course

Yaegar didnt leave immediately after replying. Knowing that Qin Ruo didnt understand what he meant, Yaegar continued explaining, Dont fret. He used his Minds Eye, not the pair of mundane eyes on his face.

This is a unique skill that Bowmasters possessed. They could detect their targets based on the strength of the said targets. For example, an ordinary specter only has about 100 points in Elemental Energy. So, they will be displayed in greena harmless target. The Liches have 20,000 points of Elemental Energy. So, they are displayed in yellow due to the threat they pose. As for the Divine Specter, it has over a million points of Elemental Energy. So, it will be displayed in red.

In Edgars Mind Eyes perception, theres a huge glowing red dot amongst the yellow and green dots ahead of you. Like a combusting sun burning amongst the trees. Its quite easy for him to detect it. Weve relied on Edgars Mind Eye for the past forty years to stay alive.

Yaegars explanation had piqued Qin Ruos interest.

So, this Minds Eye can also see through stealth mode and disguises too?

Certainly, yes! Yaegar replied without hesitation.

The Minds Eye is a skill that only a few Bowmasters possess. After reaching a certain level, they can acquire this ultimate skill through training. Out of tens of thousands of Demigod Bowmasters, only two or three of them can master this. No Bandit can escape their eyes including you, Ring of Honors bearer.

Yaegars reply had indirectly answered Qin Ruos little question he had in his mind.

After being locked on by the Bowmaster Dictator during the siege of Sin City, Qin Ruo had always pondered just how he was discovered

Now, he finally understoodit was via the Minds Eye!

However, Qin Ruo quickly gathered his thoughts back to the more pressing matter right nowthe approaching Divine Specter.

Hold on! Qin Ruo suddenly asked Yaegar, who was standing next to him cloaked in Stealth Mode, If the Divine Specter has now reached that close, 300 meters away from us, why doesnt it make any move yet?

I havent got the faintest idea but

Yaegar continued on with a deduction.

Its a Divine Specter. Perhaps like the human champions, it isnt interested in the lower tiered targets. Especially the Tier 5 warriors like you lot. To them, youre no different than bugs.

Qin Ruo was so pissed after hearing this.

Yaegar continued on, Still, even though it isnt interested, this doesnt mean it wont attack any of you. It is still a specter after all. Theres no way it would just stand by and allow a human city sit comfortably in the Underworld.

This was quite true. Allowing the humans to build cities on their soil was like having a fish bone stuck in their throats. The Divine Specter surely wouldnt allow that to happen.

After picturing this, Qin Ruo, fueled with a little hope, continued asking Yaegar, So, that means for the moment, the Divine Specter isnt going to attack us?

Sure. But you know this is temporary. Yaegar sensed a fling of hope in Qin Ruos voice and reminded him, It will most likely attack on the day when you have almost succeeded. If my deduction is correct, it will wait until the city is nearly done and then claw in with its wrath, ruining all your efforts

Yaegars voice suddenly turned gloomy as he went on, That was how it toyed with us and our deceased brethren, when we first encountered it

Qin Ruo too felt the heavy heart that Yaegar had after hearing this. However, he also felt a string of delight.

Thank God the monster would only attack on the final day

That meant that they still had over five days to live.

Right.

This was good news to Qin Ruo. In that five-day period, he could have everyone in the Underworld to level upthey could get level up by a level or two by then.

Besides, they could do a lot in five days.

They could devise a plan to handle this sly lurking Divine Specter.

Dinosaurcerer. Qin Ruo quickly summoned Dinosaurcerer who was grinding for Experience Points in the frontlines.

Haha, ten thousand Experience Points in just three hours! Little Ruo, you should get in line too. Im telling you, man. Youll level up in no time.

It was quite apparent that Dinosaurcerer didnt know the great risk in participating Project Pioneer. He thought Qin Ruo wanted a chat as he started talking about his expose in level grinding.

However, Qin Ruos words crushed his plan to continue on with his plan to grinding all the way up to Level 54.

Dino, gather some Summoners. I need you to return to Mythical Continent immediately.

Hearing this, Dinosaurcerer saw the serious look on Qin Ruos face.

Whats the situation?

After hearing the debrief on Edgar and Yaegars warnings from Qin Ruo, Dinosaurcerers face turned pale. Regaining his composure from the shock, Dinosaurcerer asked, What do you need?

Assemble a group of Summoners bring some other men too if you need more help. Youre allowed to handpick anyone from the league. After returning to the Mythical Continent, Ill need you to seal as many Fire-type monsters as you can! Oh, and Ill need the Lich Mana Core that you mentioned the last time.

Sure!

Without hesitation, Dinosaurcerer handed over the Mana Core that was half the size of his palm.

What about you? Dinosaurcerer asked.

Yaegar and Edgar know the Divine Specter very well. Ill go probe them for more information before devising a battle plan now go.

Qin Ruo pressed on. Were relying on you to defeat the Divine Specter.

Roger that!
