Chapter 1057: Different People, Different Concerns

Sometime later, Leon arrived in the unmapped D Sector with the group before immediately sweeping the surrounding areas with his divine sense.

The environment in D Sector was not that different from C Sector. It was just slightly richer in spirit energy due to the plethora of tier-4 spirit herbs growing in the region.

Unfortunately, he failed to discover any tier-5 spirit herb and above.

Even so, he was only at the beginning of the D Sector. There was still the whole D Sector to explore, not to mention the unlabeled regions beyond it.

"Since the other cities' elites haven't arrived to exterminate the mutants, we are most likely on our own. As such, be extra careful. We are in uncharted territory now. Remember to map everything you see and remain vigilant. D Sector is notorious for its high activity levels of Paragon-level insects," Lord Rhuvek reminded.

"Yes, my Lord!" the Transcendent-level dark elves complied.

As the group advanced several hundred feet, it didn't take them long before they quickly came across traces of battle.

"Milord, there are traces of—" a Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Dark Elf did not finish making the report before the sounds of battle ahead were heard.

"The battle ahead is most likely where the mutants are. Follow my lead, remain prudent, and don't draw unnecessary attention. Even if we have Lord Leon and Rainshine with us, it will be hard for all of you to keep your lives if too many Paragon-level insects attack us," Lord Rhuvek stated.

"Yes, my Lord," the platoon of dark elves responded quietly.

The group advanced another two miles before the sounds of battle drew closer. At the same time, more traces of battle were left behind in the area.

Green and blue blood splattered across the ground with multiple severed centipede legs lying around. Some spirit plants were also stained by the blood, causing them to wither and die.

Rumble…!

The ground shook at irregular intervals. The group could clearly—no, they felt trembles strongly. They weren't far from the battle location.

As the group continued to advance another mile in light steps, the ground trembled at the movements of multiple giant centipedes and black ants rushing toward the same destination they were headed to.

However, the moment they caught sight of each other, the giant centipedes and black ants changed directions and fought each other.

New battlefields were created in their locations as a result.

"We have most likely stepped into one big battlefield. No, it might even be more accurate to say that D Sector is a battlefield. Luckily, none of them has spotted us. Let us keep it that way," Lord Rhuvek quietly spoke after the group hid in the gap between two giant boulders.

"Y-yes, my Lord," the platoon of dark elves responded in trembling voices. They could no longer keep their calm.

It was their first time venturing so deep inside D Sector, and they were already trapped in the middle of one big battlefield with no way out.

"Judging by their sizes, t-they are all Paragons…" a Mid Rank 2 Transcendent-level Dark Elf determined after peeking at the giant insects.

If they attract the Paragon-level insects, it will be all over for them; their grave would be right where they were.

Multiple dark elves sweated nervously as they had that thought.

"This is troublesome…" Lord Rhuvek frowned for another matter.

"If the black ants and giant centipedes are warring each other all over D Sector, there's no telling with battlefield belongs to the mutants. Furthermore, even if we locate the mutants, we risk attracting all the surrounding Paragons as we try to eliminate them. It seems like this mission won't be easy."

"Given these circumstances, we will need to wait for the Paragon-level insects to kill each other before we continue our search," Lord Rhuvek stated.

However, Leon was not interested in waiting.

"I don't have time for that," Leon calmly uttered as he stepped out into the open, under everyone's drastic change in expression. "We just need to kill everything in sight to locate the mutants."

He still had things to do on the surface. He wasn't going to sit around and waste time.

The Tier-7 White Spear quickly appeared in Leon's hand before he threw himself into the battle between the black ants and giant centipedes with a stomp.

Swish!

A Paragon-level Black Ant was quickly beheaded with a swing of Leon's Tier-7 White Spear.

Not much strength was required as the Paragon-level Black Ant's defense was no match for the Tier-7 White Spear's sharpness.

Nevertheless, Leon was quickly bombarded with attacks from the nearby Paragon-level Black Ants as they retaliated for their fallen brethren.

However, Leon quickly evaded all their attacks with his superior movement speed.

At the same time, he stepped into favorable positions before lashing out with his Tier-7 White Spear and beheading all his assailants.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

The Paragon-level Black Ants dropped dead one after the other as they got their heads lopped off. None of them could stand a chance against the might of Leon's Tier-7 White Spear.

If he had used the Overlord Spear Art, he could have finished them all in an instant.

However, doing so would have also destroyed the Paragon-level Black Ants' carapaces. Leon wanted to preserve the Paragon-level carapaces in their best possible conditions.

After all, they were all high-quality equipment.

Nevertheless, Leon got no chance to relax as the Paragon-level Giant Centipedes also made him their target.

However, they were suddenly attacked by Rainshine as she hopped off his shoulder earlier and commenced her own attacks on the insects in the area.

"Just go for the heads, Rainshine!" Leon hollered before adding, "These insects are all good materials! Try not to damage them!"

"Yes, Master!" Rainshine complied.

Leon wasn't worried for Rainshine in the least.

After all, she was a Late Paragon; she was much stronger than the giant centipedes and black ants, which were only Early Paragons to Mid Paragons.

Nevertheless, Lord Rhuvek and the other dark elves could not help but twitch the corners of their eyes.

While they would have been fearing for their lives, Lord Leon was worried about the materials being damaged.

"We don't live in the same world…" Lord Rhuvek sighed ruefully.
