Chapter 535
Takitsubou Rikou can alter other people's personal reality . Through manipulating Personal Reality and AIM field, she can strengthen, weaken, swap, add, remove, and/or remove an ESPer's power .
Takitsubou Rikou is the MVP of the fight just now .
Kinuhata Saiai's abilities got boosted when she hit Lv5 but she's just Level 65 . Against one or two wolves, she could win easily but definitely not against a pack of tier 7 wolves .
After Takitsubou Rikou tempered with her power, she got a massive power boost that allowed her to one-punch a wolf . She also buried a pack of wolves with her augmented strength .
Takitsubou Rikou messed with Frenda's personal Realty and gave her teleportation abilities much like Shiroi Kuroko's . She used her teleportation abilities to move her explosive doll into the massive cracks formed from Kinuhata Saiai's punch . She detonated the dolls and blew the pack of wolves to bits if they are still alive after Kinuhata Saiai is done with them, of course .
It's a victory they rightly shared . They brought about this outcome with their teamwork, each had a different role and they performed their jobs excellently . Granted, the wolves aren't experienced with fighting against humans who deployed strategies, but their teamwork clearly won the battle .
The result of their teamwork increased their effectiveness geometrically as opposed to linearly .
Frenda and Kinuhata Saiai are already a match for Mugino Shizuri with their present strength . If Takitsubou Rikou came into the picture it wouldn't even be a fair fight for Mugino Shizuri .
Takitsubou Rikou's power is like an OP bug if this world is a game .
Shokuhou Misaki walked over to Wu Yan while the three girls are still busy celebrating their victory . She smiled at him .
"How was it? Are you convinced now?"
"They still have room for improvements . Right now, they can only take on tier 7 opponents . "
Wu Yan pursed his lips but a grin still escaped his poker face . Shokuhou Misaki silently laughed .
"Yan..."
Fei Fei interrupted Wu Yan & co .
"Thanks to you, our side suffered only a little bit of loss..."
The other members of the elite expedition all went silent .
In terms of manpower and power, they were supposed to be stronger . They had Fei Fei, Bing Ling, and Bishi who are peak tier 7 individuals, they even had Sylph who is a tier 8 individual .
When the fight began, the feral demonic wolves proved to be more troublesome than they had imagined . They had more people but they still panicked . The fight Kinuhata Saiai had reminded them of their own weakness, they behaved similarly to the wolves who can only howl in pain as Kinuhata Saiai buried them .
They would have won without Wu Yan & co's participation but they would have done so after a heavy toll of human lives were extracted .
'This is your so-called elites?...'
The words that contained Wu Yan's disdain rang in their minds . They clenched their fists in frustration .
They are supposed to be stronger, they were the side with more people . How did it end with someone else stealing the thunder? They had reasons to be vexed .
The blame isn't entirely on them . Wu Yan & co and team leaders, Fei Fei, Bing Ling, Bishi, and Fei Fei were notified that the hypothesis should remain classified information . Although they noticed something strange upon entering the jungle, they chalked it up as their imaginations .
The appearance of 30 tier 7 demonic beasts is a very rare event . They also failed to respond in a timely fashion to the ambush, it's understandable that they performed poorly .
Fei Fei thanking Wu Yan only soured their mood . She didn't have to thank them .
They chastized themselves for being so slovenly . They silently promised not to embarrass themselves again . The next time they slipped up, it might be their brains or blood on the ground instead of their deceased teammates .
Bing Ling and Bishi laughed when they saw the change in the attitude of their team members . This is the attitude they wanted to see .
Wu Yan shrugged . He smiled at Fei Fei .
"I didn't do much If you want to thank someone then thank the girls..."
Wu Yan pointed her in the direction of Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou . Fei Fei thanked them .
"Thank you very much..."
"It's super fine~"
Kinuhata Saiai straightened her back while rubbing her nose . It's pretty clear that she's very proud at the moment . Frenda grabbed her beret as she exchanged a look with Takitsubou Rikou .
They grinned in a bashful manner .
Even if they are strong, they are still kids in the end .
"But..."
Fei Fei examined Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou .
"I never assumed you girls were this strong?"
Wu Yan waved to Fei Fei .
"Fei Fei, don't overestimate them, they still need to work on a lot of stuff..."
"You mean they didn't perform up to your bar?"
Fei Fei didn't know if she should cry or laugh .
"If they aren't fighting at a satisfactory level then I am afraid we are poorly equipped for this expedition on our end . I don't think I can win easily if Kinuhata Saiai went serious in a fight against me . I think you're just pinching at imaginary specks of dust . "
"Yes yes!"
Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda concurred . They hated Wu Yan for dismissing their stellar battle results .
"You girls should take a moment to think clearly!"
Wu Yan glared at Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda .
"You think you did well? What do you think will happen if you caused such ruckus as setting off explosions and creating earthquakes in hostile grounds? Why don't you use a loudspeaker to tell the demonic beasts where we are, that would sound better wouldn't it?"
Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou flinched in shock . Wu Yan grumbled .
"Don't tell me you girls were too busy thinking whether or not you could you never stopped to wonder if you should?"
They awkwardly chuckled and Wu Yan's lips started twitching .
"Yeah, we are going to have to move out from this area pretty soon . "
Fei Fei agreed with him . Sylph and the other two team leaders also addressed their teams .
"Hurry up, we need to leave this place!"
They moved out and sure enough, another wave of demonic beasts rained down on the area they were just staying at .
The elite team members started taking this expedition seriously . They carefully traversed the Giant Beasts Forest . They would rather spend a few more hours traveling than to slip up and fight more battles .
As they progressed deeper into the forest, the beasts are now at tier 7 or above . Sometimes, they would encounter two or three groups of them moving together . The eerie scene caused the expedition team to carefully tread lest they attract unwanted attention .
