Chapter 953 Last Few Hours
"Yes I’m sure. I had to search hard to find out where the Queens are going. Setting that aside, is the live stream working?" A man who was leading the group asked as a woman nodded her head.
"Yup, everything is going well. If it really is where the Queen’s are, the stream will explode." She laughed.
They had decided to come here since the leader mentioned a treasure apparently making an appearance in this area. They all had powerful stealth skills so they figured that they’ll be able to either take a peek at it and look at the Queen’s strength. That way, everyone could better understand the power a tier 6 holds.
Pushing aside a branch, the man could see a small clearing not too far from where they were. There weren’t any trees there and he could see a makeshift path of sorts from the forest to the mountain.
"There isn’t any cover that we can use so let’s circle around. How’s the map coming along?" He asked.
Their group consisted of 6 members not including him. One scout, one assassin, two fighters/tanks, one healer and one mage.
"Six more rats. Why are so many of you appearing recently? This isn’t a battlefield that you can be in." A feminine voice rang out as the group quickly entered combat formation and attacked whoever was behind them.
Hearing the sound of tearing flesh, relief filled their hearts but it soon turned to dread as the wounds healed themselves in an instant.
"Well aren’t you rude." The woman smiled as dragon heads exploded out of her body, consuming the tanks next to her.
*CRUNCH!!!
Hearing their bones shatter, the surviving members immediately ran away but just as they entered the clearing, their body started to melt away, leaving nothing.
With everything broadcasted on the stream, those that were watching were in disbelief since they were relatively strong adventurers who had made a name for themselves before the new age.
Dismissing the dragon heads, the woman smiled at the little camera the woman dropped before dying and realised what it was.
"Since you’re that curious about us, I’ll let you watch the fight." She chuckled.
Grabbing the camera, she placed it on a tree that gave them a good view of the mountains.
Leaving the area, she continued to survey the area.
The reason why she was hunting down every human she could see was because of what happened when she tried to establish another anchor.
The fact that two Queens and a human teamed up to push her back infuriated her as her eyes were filled with killing intent.
[Arnea – Chimera Empress LVL 680]
Her main priority was killing the two that stopped her.

"Why are so many people coming into the forest?" Shiro had a frown on her face since she could sense quite a few mana signatures entering the forest before disappearing. With only a few hours left, the number of people here started to increase.
"Someone must have spread the news. But I found something that you might want to look at." Nan Tian frowned.
Showing her a link to the stream, he reversed the video and showed her the moment Arnea appeared.
Seeing the Chimera Empress, Shiro furrowed her brows.
If the Empress is here, she’ll need to be careful especially since it was one that probably had a grudge against her.
"That changes a few things. Though I suppose it’s not too surprising considering the fact that everyone with a rank similar to Queen is notified. Hmm... we’re heading out. Nan Tian, come with me, I want to talk to the Fallen before the relic appears. Maybe we can work something out." Shiro said as Nan Tian nodded his head.
Without any delay, the two of them left the city.
Entering the forest, Shiro surveyed her surroundings before activating the skill.
Masking it as a gust of wind, Shiro passed a message to the fallen that had met her last time.
Sitting on the tree, the two of them waited patiently while Shiro had her boundary activated. After a few days of practice, she used it to sense the things around her but it was still impossible for her to change it to defence.
With her boundary activated, there was a faint silhouette of sorts that still flickered occasionally. However, the fact that she could now sense Ahmiya gave her some peace of mind.
"You’re here." Shiro called out with a smile as the silhouette paused for a moment and didn’t move.
"If you’re going to stay silent then you might as well listen to what I say." Shiro chuckled.
"I want to work with the fallen since this rainbow relic could be very dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands. If any of the Queens obtain this, all the people not under her ’protection’ will be targeted. We either team up and try to take the relic for ourselves or destroy it."
Hearing this, Ahmiya revealed herself as there was caution in her eyes.
"How do you plan to take the relic? Do you know how many scouts the Queens have sent here now? I’m guessing there’s going to be more than 15 Queens in this fight a lot.
’And an Empress too’ Shiro thought, remembering Arnea.
"I plan to take it by singling out the Queen who obtains the relic. I have a skill that forces them into single combat with me and if we’re able weaken her before I force her into single combat, there will be a higher guarantee of obtaining the relic."
"And what if you just take the relic for yourself?" Ahmiya narrowed her eyes.
"You have the lie detection skill don’t you? I can promise you that I don’t plan on using that relic for evil." Shiro smiled as Ahmiya nodded.
"Indeed. But seen as how you’re able to detect me, what if you have a skill that hides your lies?"
"Well I wanted to show you a bit of my capabilities so you know that you’re not losing out. But if you don’t want to team up that’s fine too since I’ll be watching." Shiro crossed her legs with a smile.
"Hm... what benefits will you even give us if we team up. Sure your power might be strong to you but is it strong enough against this many tier 6 beings?" Ahmiya asked as Shiro shook her head.
"No but I can give you lot equipment. Weapons, I’m sure you’ve seen this before the new age began. While it cannot kill them immediately, it should do a decent chunk of damage should you catch them off guard during close combat." Shiro smiled as she pulled out a hand cannon.
"I cannot demonstrate its powers out in the open, I don’t mind giving you one for your group of fallen to test out. If you’re interested, you can give me a call with this and we’ll talk business. You might want to hurry it up though considering the fact that there’s only a few hours left."
Narrowing her eyes, Ahmiya frowned.
"Give me a moment, I want to contact the one leading this little expedition of fallen." Ahmiya replied as she took out a phone.
"But before that, how can he see me too? I understand you since you’re a Queen and your skills are strange but how can he see me too?" Ahmiya asked, pointing at Nan Tian.
"My eyes are a little special." Nan Tian chuckled.
"Mn." Nodding her head, she sent a message to her leader. After a few moments she looked up at Shiro.
"He said he wanted to meet you so that we can talk business in person." Ahmiya said with a complicated expression.
"Well isn’t that interesting. Let’s have a look at the one leading all of this then." Shiro smiled.
Nodding her head, Ahmiya gestured for Shiro to follow her.
Walking through the forest, Shiro noticed that a formation was put in place but it was similar to Ahmiya’s ability, it was completely hidden from the senses.
Walking through the ever changing scenery, Shiro suddenly realised that they were in a camp.
Widening her eyes, Shiro was immediately on guard since whoever set down this formation is an expert.
Looking around the place, she could see a few curious eyes looking at her. While the system was unavailable, Shiro could guess that their names were all grey from the aura they were radiating.
Without saying anything, Ahmiya led them towards the centre as there was a makeshift table with a hooded figure standing in front of it.
Seeing this hooded figure, Nan Tian was a little surprised before sighing softly.
Shiro was confused by this reaction but stepped forward regardless.
"So what weapons can you provide us?" He asked, not wasting any time.
Hearing the voice, Shiro widened her eyes since it was familiar.
"Raoul?"
