455 The Illusion Trap
Everyone was still fighting. Alan and the others were still fighting tod
But something felt wrong.
Finished
Several Divine Generals from Soulreaver who were battling in the rear had started slowly moving toward
Ashen’s side.
It was as if they were trying to lure the level 5 beasts over.
Edric and the others shouted angrily, “What are you doing?”
Olivia, Fiona, and the others also roared in anger. “You animals! You deserve to die!”
Four level 5 beasts were being drawn toward them.
If those beasts charged into their battlefield, everyone would die.
Steven noticed Beckett’s sinister smile.
“Run! We can’t hold them back anymore…”
Steven was furious. Could they make the act any more obvious?
But something felt off.
Something was very wrong!
Even if Soulreaver were idiots, they wouldn’t lure exotic beasts over at a time like this.
A burst of golden light erupted from Steven’s eyes and a sense of clarity washed over him, as if it had instantly swept away some kind of bizarre power.
Several miles away, he saw the Moon Sky Fox. The crystal on its forehead was releasing waves of energy toward the teams fighting in this area.
Those waves landed on the heads of every member of Soulreaver and Ashen.
୮
Three people were leading the beasts over, while three others pretended not to see it and kept fighting. Alex’s team of three in the front was also fighting, pretending they didn’t see a thing.
Edric and the others were furious.
Steven carefully observed everyone’s reactions.
Then everything suddenly clicked.
An illusion!
It was an illusion and mind control!

Chapter 455 The Illusion Trap
The level 6 Moon Sky Fox was using taind control on Soulreaver’s members!
Finished
Steven understood.
This was a tactic used by the God Eaters against Alan.
A level 6 Moon Sky Fox was undoubtedly stronger than a level 5 one.
It wouldn’t be hard for it to achieve this level of mind control.
It was controlling three people to lure the beasts over while making the others either unable to see it or think it was completely normal.
On top of that, those three were acting, pretending they couldn’t stop the beasts and had accidentally sent them over.
That way, even if someone tried to settle accounts afterward, they could easily clear themselves.
If the Ashen team members were slaughtered by these level 5 beasts, the captain would pour all of his rage onto those people.
A life–and–death battle with Alex would become inevitable.
They definitely had another plan to make Alex die by Alan’s hand. If that happened, their goal would be achieved.
At the same time, the Moon Sky Fox’s mind control was also affecting Ashen team members. It was amplifying their anger and trying to provoke Alan’s fury.
From the bottom of his heart, Steven felt just how vicious these methods were.
But there was no time to think about that now.
The four level 5 beasts charged directly at the team.
Meanwhile, Beckett and the other two simply turned around and left, completely ignoring Edric and the others.
Steven’s anger exploded. Those damned bastards.
In an instant, Steven triggered his Scorchblood Ignition.
He charged toward the level 5 beasts.
Steven unleashed his power wildly.
1:06 pm
Three massive wind–and–fire tornadoes, each nearly a hundred meters tall, suddenly appeared and rushed toward the four level 5 beasts/
“Retreat! Retreat now!”
A chill ran through Steven’s heart. It seemed even the military personnel had their vision hidden by the illusion.
Alan was still fighting wildly.
“Stay calm.”
Steven was stunned.
A sharp light burst from his eyes.
Then fight!
Steven looked at the four level 5 beasts that had temporarily been pushed back by Windfire Voidstorm. Fox the first time, he felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.
How were they supposed to fight the remaining four?
He quickly calculated his options.
Edric and the others gathered beside him.

“What do we do? Retreat?”
“What does Captain Alan mean?”
Steven shook his head. “Don’t worry about it. Listen to him.
“Do everything you can to hold them off. I’ll kill them.”
No one said anything else. Each of them unleashed their full strength.
Bianca shouted, “I’ll take one!”
Steven charged forward first.
“Edric, Olivia, Fiona, Nicole, work together and stall them. Wait for me!”
Everyone rushed into battle. Not only did they have to kill the other beasts, but they also had to deal with the level 5 beasts.
For any Awakened Squad made up of only Divine Adept and Divine Knights, this was a hopeless situation.
Furthermore, there were only six of them.
Steven knew that he had to stay calm!
