Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class

Chapter 321 Progress Before The Deadline (15), Prep Done

With the sound of the horn, everyone flew up and out of the stronghold before taking positions in the sky and on land.

The group of Mad Nuts was in a three-point formation, creating a big triangle of thirty people and twenty people inside who were mainly support and long-range.

Almond, Zek, and Karven each handled a point of the triangle with members to both sides for all three of them.

"Getting ready, are we?"

Soon, a voice carried over to them from over a hundred meters away, from none other than the group positioned beside them.

Brian grinned at Almond, who turned his head to Brian after hearing the voice.

"You want to kill me, for what reason?" Almond asked, his tone more curious and less worried.

"Reason?" Brian's laughter rang in every member of Mad Nuts.

"I can make plenty of reasons to kill someone, but for you, let's just say I don't like your guts and look. And you made my friend miss an opportunity."

Harken had piercing daggers at Almond since the beginning of the conversation.

"I see," Almond replied with a calm smile, his next words carrying into Crimson River faction's every member.

"Well then, come and die."

Almond turned his head forward and commanded, "Forward!"

*Swoosh!*

The triangle formation of fifty members flew forward.

"Huh?" Brian frowned.

The combat area in front of the stronghold was defined by the power of the groups.

At the very front were the strongest groups of people belonging to a myriad of races—the Immortal Kings. Some were from this native planet, but most were from other planets of the second layer who came here to help.

One kilometer behind them were groups of Immortal-rank powerhouses.

And another kilometer behind them, near the stronghold walls, were mixed groups of Mortals, High-Mortals, and a small number of Immortals.

The powerhouses at the frontline would only focus on the most powerful of Griminions and let others pass behind them so other groups could deal with them and ultimately kill them all before they reached the stronghold.

Almond knew that if Brian's group sneak-attacked them during the tide of Griminions, nobody would notice, and they would even succeed.

In this Grimworld, where laws at every place were different, the ones to make rules at a moment were present powerhouses.

And presently, many people here were not murderers, so Brian's group attacking others would attract the ire of stronger powerhouses if they noticed, so they had to make it look like accidents and make it such that members of Mad Nuts died while fighting Griminions.

Almond knew this was Brian's plan as it wasn't exactly complicated.

But he also had a perfect plan to deal with Brian and his group.

As Almond led his group forward, they were stopped at the Immortal-rank area.

"Hey, what are you all doing coming here at the front? You'll die."

"Will you protect us for one minute during the battle when I say it? During that one minute, I'd need to remain in focus to do something. But ultimately, all I ask is one minute of protection and not a second more."

Dave puffed out smoke as he looked at Almond's clear and determined eyes.

A second later, he said, "A favor from a Mortal kid, eh? It seems that I'd have to hold onto it for a while before I use it."

"True, but it'll be worth the while," Almond smiled.

Jama laughed while Zek, Karven, and others smiled unnaturally.

"Fine. I'll give you that one minute of protection." Dave grinned as he turned around and raised his hand. "Good luck, and make sure you stay alive to return the favor."

"Boss, are we really positioning ourselves here?" Malin gulped.

Almond turned around to look at everyone and said, "I am going to switch your positions in the next second for the number of times. Let's see how many of you get the correct answer."

"What do you mean?"

Just as that member asked, Almond's eyes flickered as two spirals appeared, both slowly spinning in opposite directions, but these two spirals were inside a square.

'Drift.'

In the next second, all fifty members felt like the world was spinning and dancing around them.

It only happened for one second, but all of them felt their guts churning and most of them puked and gagged while feeling dizzy.

Karven rubbed his temples, "Damn, what the hell was that?"

"Urgh..." Zek opened his mouth, wanting to throw up. "You...you accessed it. Hyper Plane and that too very easily, but we won't even be able to react against Griminions at Immortal or higher rank."

"As for the answer," Karven said. "I say you changed my positions thirteen times in that second."

"I don't know even what the hack happened, let alone my position."

"Same, man."

"My hair is weird now..."

"Bitch, I told you not to use that magic serum on snake hairs."

"Not thirteen times," Zek said as he looked at Almond. "I think...you changed my position fifteen times."

"Correct. I changed everyone's positions fifteen times in that one second. I used multiple assets for this sequence, but when I face an Immortal King griminion, I will become more perceptive and powerful," Almond said as his eyes glinted sharply. "And by then, I'll make sure none of us are hit by anything while you all make sure to act according to our plan."

"Mainly, most of you have the job of providing me with Soul energy, so focus on that and use your Prana on abilities less because your abilities won't be that useful."

With Soul energy from others, Almond would be able to refine Prana easily.

Of course, his reserves were great at the moment, but they were bound to run out. However, with his Immortal Emperor-ranked Prana Art that has a refined Prana conversion rate of 1:10, he would just require soul energy from others to make a large amount of refined Prana and dominate his surroundings while improving himself in a multitude of ways.

"Now, let's just hope that Brian takes the bait and comes here to court death so I can get rid of an annoying fly fast and focus on getting stronger because that's why I am here," Almond coldly said as he eyed Brain who was still at the back and talking to others.

"Come on, Brian. Or are you too scared to come here?"

Brian heard Almond's voice entering his ears and clenched his fist as he grinned while feeling pissed.

"Fuck him. Let's go, everyone. Once he's dead, we'll retreat."
