Green Monster Epic

Leaning against a gray granite rock, Allen closed his eyes slightly, habitually conserving his energy and adjusting his body to its optimal state.

In his mind, scenes from the gatherings of the past few nights flashed repeatedly, with so many inside stories that Allen still hadn't completely sorted them out.

It was as if this sudden cooperative action with Maggot Eye and Yariel, Allen could have chosen not to participate, but after some deliberation, Allen decided to join in.

Because the initiator of this action was the Ranger Church, with the cooperation of the Oak Court, and the coordination of the Maggot Eye and Yariel tribes, Allen believed that this mission might have very important secrets.

Allen's participation in this matter could not only curry favor with the Ranger and Oak factions' temples, gaining their goodwill and laying a foundation for the foreseeable future of the tribe, but also allow him to come into contact with deep secrets that he could not otherwise access, and better prepare himself for the changes in the situation later on.

"Chirp ~ ~ Chirp ~ ~ ~"

Besides the various chaotic insect and bird calls, there were no other major movements around, not even the activity of a large beast.

Despite this, Allen did not dare to relax his vigilance, because their mission this time seemed not difficult, but it tested everyone's luck and sensitivity to the surrounding environment, because they, as legendary figures and spellcasters, needed to intercept a shadow energy battle professionist from the vast hilly area at the back of the Kator Mountains.

Who the other party was, what kind of shadow energy profession they practiced, and what level of battle professionist they were, everyone was in the dark.

The only thing that could be confirmed was that the other party would return to the Ajina tribe in the next two days and join forces with Philemon, the northern high priest of the Church of Nature.

The prophecy mages cultivated by the Ranger Church could only roughly foresee that the other party would cross the eastern part of the Kator Mountains and then go directly to the Namur Fortress in the south of the mountains.

However, the prophecy mages could not determine the specific location and time, so Allen and the other legendary figures were distributed in this hundred-mile area of the eastern Kashgar hills, guarding several strategic locations like fools, waiting for the rabbit to appear.

Allen did not know what secrets the specific target of interception carried, but the target that could mobilize the spellcasters of the Oak and Ranger Churches, as well as Yariel and others, would probably not be a simple guy.

The legendary's vast mental power transformed into hidden threads, scattered around the basin where Allen was located for more than a thousand meters.

After all, he was not a spellcaster who relied on mental power for a living.

In the practical application of mental power, he could not directly cover and monitor a vast area of ​​more than ten miles like a legendary spellcaster.

"Huh?"

A mental thread in a valley in the northeast direction seemed to be touched by a living creature, causing Allen to immediately sense it in his mind.

Frowning, he did not hesitate and stood up on the spot.

However, Allen could not act rashly, as he could not determine whether the living creature that touched his mental power was a beast or the target he was trying to intercept.

As for flying into the sky to overlook the valley, Allen was even more reluctant to do so, after all, the other party was an advanced thief, who could slip into the shadow plane at any time if he found something was wrong, which was why they needed these legendary powerhouses to take action.

More mental threads slowly moved towards the valley.

The second and third threads were touched one by one.

Feeling that the direction of the living creature's movement was towards the depths of the Kator Mountains, Allen no longer hesitated.

Judging that the other party was heading towards a certain pass, he directly threw a wind-breaking scroll on himself and quickly glided away.

The target was still not determined, but Allen had already arrived at the exit of the valley one step ahead of the other party, and then found a hidden bush and squatted down.

The target approached step by step, and Allen's breathing gradually calmed down, his heartbeat tending to stagnate.

He didn't know when, but the Bone Cleaver in his dimensional bag had also appeared in his hand, and he was already prepared for the best battle.

A figure slowly climbed up the slope of the valley, constantly looking behind him and around him, and his strong legs constantly borrowed strength from the protruding rocks and branches.

His figure was constantly shuttling through various branches and weeds, making it difficult for people to detect his tracks.

As the other party approached the bush where Allen was hiding, less than a hundred meters away, the other party suddenly stopped, and a dog's head slowly sniffed the air a few times, as if he had noticed something strange.

The other party's figure suddenly became strange, drawing out several trajectories at once, and then gradually blurring.

It was just that Allen had been waiting alone in this valley for two whole days, and he finally encountered such a dog-headed man.

Regardless of whether the other party was his target or not, taking him down first was the hard truth.

At the moment when the other party's figure transformed into five, a ray directly passed through one of the figures, and then the figure turned into a phantom on the spot.

"Humph!"

Allen's face was gloomy, he didn't expect that with his legendary mental power, he still misjudged the other party's transformation of reality and illusion, but this did not affect Allen's next actions.

The dimensional anchor spell scroll failed to work, but it only made Allen's next interception a little more troublesome.

After being exposed, he no longer needed to hide his figure.

The whole person directly rushed into the air and turned into a meteor, rushing straight towards a figure running wildly towards the mountain cliff.

"Boom!!!!!"

Allen hadn't arrived yet, but a powerful slash enveloped the hillside where the other party was advancing.

Countless rubble and broken branches splashed up, the ground was in a mess, and a deep sword mark stretched out for dozens of meters, and it was about to directly hit the target's back.

The other party's figure suddenly disappeared, and when he appeared again, he had already arrived at the cliff a hundred meters away.

The dog-headed man Karl had a face full of cold sweat, and he didn't even have the courage to look back.

There was no way out in front of the cliff.

His eyes were full of determination, and then he directly leaped into the air, jumping down just like that.

Whoosh!!!!

The air was directly torn apart by Allen's body, making a roar like a hurricane.

At the moment when the dog-headed man's body disappeared on the cliff, Allen also did not hesitate, and swooped down like this.

As a legend, if he couldn't even catch up with such a little guy, then he, Allen, would be too incompetent.

The cliff was more than two hundred meters high.

In the eyes of a legendary powerhouse, there was no danger at all, but in the eyes of a battle professionist below the legendary level, it was still a bit troublesome.

The closer he was to the ground, the faster the dog-headed man Karl's figure became.

At the moment when he was about to hit the ground directly, the other party's figure disappeared again, and then a figure kept rolling a hundred meters away in the depths of the cliff.

After a dozen rolls, the dog-headed man finally unloaded the huge force of the dive.

Regardless of the mess on his body, he flew away again at the moment of getting up.

"Take it!!!"

"Boom!!!!!"

Karl felt a shiver run down his spine, his forward momentum abruptly halting. He executed a swift side roll, followed by a ground-shaking tremor. Losing his balance, he desperately dodged the suddenly rising earth and scattered gravel as the ground beneath him bucked and heaved.

The Bonecleaver was now embedded in the ground less than a foot in front of the Kobold's escape route. Immense energy discharged around the Bonecleaver, carving a pit several meters wide into the crumbling, damp earth of the cliff face.

"If you try to run again, I won't hold back!!"

Allen swooped down, his foot slamming into the ground. The earth roiled once more, shockwaves rippling outwards. His right hand was already gripping the Bonecleaver's hilt, embedded in the earth.

With great effort, the Kobold Karl stopped a dozen meters away. He lifted his head, his dog-like face filled with lingering fear, and his eyes met Allen's in trembling apprehension. After a moment of struggle, he slowly lowered the twin blades in his hands.

Just a hair's breadth away, he would have been buried beneath that legendary strike. Had his instincts not warned him, he would now be a lifeless corpse on the ground. He had already used two of his three daily Shadow Jumps. Although he still had two High-Level Teleportation scrolls, Karl didn't believe he could escape the pursuit of this legendary figure.

"Chieftain Allen, I wonder why you're hunting down a small fry like me?"

Karl suddenly spoke. His escape had failed. Seeing that the other party hadn't truly committed to killing him, perhaps he still had a glimmer of hope.

"Hm, you recognize me?"

Allen was truly ignorant of any information regarding his target. Even the target's affiliation hadn't been disclosed by Lord Kirill, who only mentioned that the target was an advanced Thief, whose combat level was unlikely to be Legendary.

At the same time, when Allen accepted this mission, Lord Kirill also promised that if the target was a Legendary, Allen and his team could decide whether to continue the interception.

It was because of this promise, and after confirming that his life wouldn't be in danger, that Allen agreed to participate in this operation. But now, before he had even revealed his identity, the other party had already recognized him, which surprised Allen somewhat.

"Karl had the honor of witnessing Chieftain Allen's heroic combat during the defense of Nasir Fortress."

Karl revealed a restrained smile and bowed in response.

"In that case, you could be considered a member of my Wilderness Alliance. If that's the case, then you should cooperate with me even more. Stop making pointless struggles."

A sharp glint flashed in Allen's eyes. His hands didn't slow down as he directly took out a rope woven from Ironback Bear tendons. Like catching a chick, he grabbed the Kobold's arms and was about to bind him tightly.

"Chieftain Allen, Chieftain Allen, isn't there some kind of misunderstanding? I'm a special envoy of the Church of Nature, and I have a very important piece of information that must be immediately returned to Nur Fortress and handed over to High Priest Philemon of my church!!"

"If you delay my mission, I'm afraid that High Priest Philemon will know, and you and your tribe will be in trouble!!"

The Kobold wanted to struggle, but he didn't dare to resist too much. Circumstances were stronger than people. He was just a High-Tier Assassin who hadn't found his own Legendary path yet. How could he be a match for a mid-level Legendary powerhouse like Allen? However, he was unwilling to be captured so easily. In the end, he decided to reveal his identity, perhaps in this way Allen would be wary of the Church of Nature's power and let him go.

Allen's hands paused slightly, but immediately returned to normal. With two crisp snaps, he tightly bound the Kobold Karl's hands behind his back, and then used the remaining length of rope to hang the Kobold upside down, tying his ankles together before dropping him onto the broken ground.

"If you don't want to suffer, let's talk about the information you're carrying!!"

When the other party revealed his affiliation, Allen finally had a glimmer of understanding in his heart. Perhaps this was the reason why Lord Kirill and the others were so cautious.

Judging from the little bit of inside information revealed in the Kobold's words, it seemed that he should be the target that Allen and the other seven or eight people were trying to intercept. Since he was lucky enough to have the other party fall into his hands, it would be a waste not to take this opportunity to properly interrogate the other party about the information and items he was carrying. He would truly be letting down the Goddess of Luck's favor.

Allen believed that he had some methods when it came to interrogation. Although these methods seemed overly cruel, if he could learn more about the core secrets of some large forces and temples, Allen would also think that this action was worth it.

"Chieftain Allen... you're making things difficult for us small fry!"

Karl naturally didn't want to reveal the information he was carrying, because he was very clear about the value of the information he possessed. If it were leaked, the entire northern wilderness would probably be plunged into chaos. Although Karl himself wasn't considered very important in the church, and he didn't really know much, the actual core secret was only in the magic parchment in his dimensional ring. However, just some of the things he had overheard and seen were shocking.

"Alas!"

Allen shook his head. The other party's eyes were very firm. It seemed that he wouldn't reveal anything without resorting to some means.

He looked around at the ravaged land and the gloomy environment in this cliff. Allen nodded in satisfaction. At least, many of his methods wouldn't attract the attention of outsiders when they were used.

The Bonecleaver, infused with rage, was fiercely inserted into the granite of the cliff wall. With a few quick movements, the solid granite was like soft tofu, directly hollowed out by Allen into a cave large enough for one person to pass through. In a short while, a deep man-made cave was completed.

As Allen carried the Kobold, who was crawling on the broken ground, into the cave, soon screams louder than the last came from inside, interspersed with various cries for mercy and pleas for death.

Half a magic hour later, Allen walked out of the cave with a solemn expression, covered in various bloody auras. At the same time, on his right hand, hung a Kobold who was no longer human-like. At this time, he was dying, his eyes half-open in a daze, like dead ashes.

Having obtained what he needed, Allen didn't stay any longer. He shot straight into the sky and disappeared into the vast firmament.
