There was a brief moment of silence as everyone stared at the air in shock, not knowing what to do now.

The Kobold King had escaped the area using a space-type skill and this was unexpected even for Sato, who had already witnessed the BOSS\' space magic before. 

From what Sato had read in the summarized edition of the Town\'s library books on elements[1], space magic was one of the hardest to learn and a majority of basic space magic users were unable to use it mid-battle as it required a lot of focus for one to be able to sense the spatial elements and manipulate them according to their desires. Unless one had an innate sensitivity to this element, like fire [Elementalists] had an innate sensitivity to fire element, one would be unable to use space magic to the fullest.

After Sato had used [Inspect] on the Kobold King\'s skills, he presumed that the previous performance of the Kobold King might have been done with a certain type of equipment since no space-related skill had popped up on the information regarding the creature\'s skills. With that in mind, Sato was more alert for the equipment than he was on the Kobold King, after all, if the Kobold King suddenly popped out a battle-type space equipment/weapon, the battle would be half won. 

Strangely, even as it was approaching its death, none of that took place. This left Sato doubting; presuming that maybe it might have left behind the equipment or something otherwise, this couldn\'t be explained. Seeing as the Kobold King had suddenly used a space skill and escaped, not only was Sato\'s earlier misunderstanding correct but he also had a much clearer idea of its circumstances.

\'It isn\'t well versed in space magic. It\'s probably a beginner with only knowledge on escape techniques.\'

Beginner space magic users had one common problem, they couldn\'t use it in battle especially high-intensity battles. The quicker the speed moves are being exchanged, the lesser the chances of them being able to use space magic. This would then explain why the Kobold King hadn\'t used such skills in battle. There was also the possibility that it only knew escape techniques and had no knowledge of battle skills related to space magic. This would then explain why even in times of respite during the battle, it didn\'t perform any AOE space skill.

\'If it\'s a total beginner, then not escaping before could be understood. Having used space magic especially with its current state, the Kobold King would be more weakened.\' Sato thought.

Forcefully using magic would cause harm to the user and the more deadly the spell or the greater the difficulty, the higher the chances of getting injured. With the Kobold King\'s state as well as its proficiency in space magic, there was no doubt that its injuries had worsened by forcefully using the spell in combat. This could explain its angered roar before leaving. It already knew the risks but still dared to use it.

While Sato was in thought, the two teams behind were wondering what to do next. They didn\'t participate in the raid with Sato and the others so they weren\'t aware of the fact that the Kobold king wasn\'t well-versed in spatial manipulation. Hence, there was a bit of hesitation on whether they should give chase.

"The Kobold King might have probably gone far right now and since it\'s much stronger than us, it wouldn\'t be an issue for it to hide from the senses of our [Druids]. Also, based on the style the developers have used, I\'m guessing that the Kobold King would definitely not be so foolish as to give out its location like that. Overall, giving chase seems like a weak option." Chesces said.

"That\'s true but as it\'s weakened and heavily injured, we might have a shot at it." Azure Dragon said.

"It\'s better to test out our luck than give up straight away."

After hesitating for a while, Azure Dragon gave out his commands.

"Black Tempest, you take Yukino, Ore, Riley, Monolith, and Griffin as well as 12 others with you and go look for the BOSS. 2 more [Assassins] should be in your lineup with [Druids] as the main healing force. Kylian, you go with them too. As for the others, stay behind with him to take down that player."

Making the [Druids] a priority was due to their flexibility to act as a CC unit(Crowd Control), as well as scouts, healers, and buffers. Against the kobold King, a lineup with enough [Druids] would have a much better chance at success than without. The [Assassins] and mages weer also to cooperate with the [Druids] and search for the Kobold King. 

Though Chesces had already said that it will likely not be possible, Azure Dragon wanted to give it a shot. Since the BOSS was already terribly weakened, who knows, maybe it won\'t be able to hide itself as good as they thought.

Black Tempest made his selections quickly before choosing a direction and leaving with his men. Yukino was a bit unwilling to go as she felt that the face behind that cloak was quite familiar. Her curiosity could also be explained as her wondering what the face of the man who had dared to go against the big guilds of Black Rock province looked like.

It should be known that Sato\'s black cloak was already damaged after his fight with the Kobold King. The explosion from before had done an even better job at that but because Sato\'s back had been facing them, ever since, they had yet to get a good look at his face. Since it was a command from her leader, Yukino had to leave with Black Tempest\'s team and the direction they chose just happened to be in front of Sato. That means that the team would have to pass him if they wanted to proceed forward. From this, it could be seen that even Black Tempest also wanted to have a look at him too.

Silver Wolf also made similar decisions to Azure Dragon, sending out 10 of his men alongside Iron Bear to give chase to the Kobold King. He had originally wanted to lead them personally, but seeing as Azure Dragon remained behind, he too made the same decision. While it was true that no one in Iron Bear\'s team was on par with Yukino, they had enough items to offset the difference and even gain the advantage against her so he wasn\'t worried.

Just as Black Tempest and Iron Bear\'s teams were close to passing Sato, he suddenly turned around and faced them all, his face revealed under the dim lighting of the cavern to their eyes.

"It\'s you!!
