Chapter 264: First Battle (1) [Bonus Chapter]
The groups were still exploring some spots, and Almond occasionally observed them through his spirit wraiths’ eyes.
They’d be done exploring the remaining spots in approximately two hours.
Meanwhile, Almond went to the Serpensha Tribe first.
"What? We are launching an attack on Hawkfrey Tribe after some hours?"
"Yeah," Almomd nodded. "I am going to make a portal nearby that tribe, and four other tribes will also join in the attack."
"Seeing such a big attack, they will immediately summon their Guardian Deity," the Serpensha tribe chief frowned. "And without one of us summoning a Guardian Deity there, we will get wiped out."
Almond narrowed his eyes as they flickered, "We won’t summon a Guardian Deity. This battle, we’ll win it without using it."
"What? Impossible," Serpensha tribe chief spluttered in disbelief, shaking his head constantly. "That’s suicide."
"I will handle their Guardian Deity," Almond said calmly as he looked into the tribe chief’s eyes. "I can."
"You start preparing your warriors and supplies," Almond stood up. "And stay on standby."
After saying that, he teleported away, vanishing.
"Chief, are we sure about this?"
"Yeah, he says he can handle Guardian Deity, but what if he can’t?"
"And how can he just leave like that after commanding us? He already thinks he is above us, humph."
The Tribe Chief was silent for a few seconds as the calm intensity and power in Almond’s eyes that bore down on him was still fresh.
"Start preparing," the tribe chief said. "We’ll see how he handles their Guardian Deity. If he can’t, then we can summon ours. Hawkfrey Tribe is nearest to us, so we will take over them anyway."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"But after we use our Guardian Deity, we’ll really have to stay allied with this human until the end. We’d lose our one-time summoning, so we won’t fare well if another tribe attacks us."
"The time has come," Serpensha tribe chief’s eyes glinted. "This war will rage on and end soon, but we are making the first move towards victory."
"So go and prepare, we are winning this!"
"Mhmm," Lily nodded. "And they won’t surrender as long as they have their guardian deity, right?"
"Yep. But I will keep it entangled for one minute. It’s just a matter of one minute," Almond said before he thought about the draconians. "The problem will be the Draconians. They will target me while I entangle with the Guardian deity."
"I am not threatened by their skills, but If they use an Artifact that can trap me or disable me, things will turn nasty."
Lily frowned, "You got any countermeasure for that?"
Almond grinned and took out a futuristic-looking blue orb, as well as a pair of golden sandals with wings.
"Hermes’ Winged Sandles?!" Lily was startled.
"Yep. I told Admiral Rudra I needed something that could get me out of any situation when I went there to get food, and this Artifact is best for that. He borrowed it from the Gabris family and gave it to me."
"As for this orb, this is the Tier-3 Artifact we got from the 5th Floor’s reward," Almond grinned. "I hid its information from everyone, but it’s super useful."
[Temporal Reset Orb]
-Type: Buff/Recovery
-Tier: 3
-Effect:
—> Upon use, rewind the time on the user’s body from 1 second to 10 seconds back.
-Cooldown: 2 days.
"This..." Lily’s eyes glinted. "So if you get heavily debuffed or affected by something powerful, you can simply use this and make it such that you were never affected."
"Exactly. And Hermes’ Winged Sandles will get me out of any imprisonment if they use some kind of trapping artifact on me."
"Awesome," Lily grinned. "But I will also focus on you, so I can know the enemies who will focus on you and take them out sneakily."

"Yep, that’d be perfect. Remain hidden from others, and make fatal strikes," Almond smiled, his eyes ablaze with thrill. "Let’s win this."
