As they spoke, the other two Divine Nature Incarnations of the Ghoul King were already waving their Magic Wands and moving into action, each casting a different Spell.
Sharing the sa source, they possessed an ability similar to Telepathy, needing no training at all; their coordination in battle showed a tacit understanding far beyond that of ordinary people.
One of them cast Manipulation of Weather; a gentle breeze began to blow, grew stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a gale.
It couldn’t be said to have no effect at all, but it was relatively limited.
The Slaughter Fog seed heavier than normal Mist, and the wind blew it apart at an extrely slow Speed.
The gale swept through ahead, and more Slaughter Fog surged in, covering the area again.
It was hard to say clearly whether this was Fog from other directions surging over to fill the gap,
or the Fog that had just been blown away returning once more.
The other Divine Nature Incarnation of the Ghoul King cast Dispel Magic.
This thod was clearly more effective than the previous one.
The Slaughter Fog shrouding the area dissolved in an instant, revealing a blank zone several hundred ters in diater.
This indicated that although the Slaughter Fog had been ford by Divine Power, it was still a kind of Magic Effects.
"This thod is not viable." Even the Divine Nature Incarnation of the King of the Jackalweres couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw this scene. "We’re still more than fifty kiloters from the target. Even if you and I squeeze ourselves dry of all Spellcasting Ability, we probably still won’t see the target. Especially in this kind of Mist, it’s very easy to get lost..."
The other Divine Nature Incarnation of the King of the Jackalweres said impatiently, "I don’t believe he used this Slaughter Fog to blanket the entire region. Even I wouldn’t dare to be that extravagant... I want to see just how much Divine Power he’s burned on this..."
Grumbling as he spoke, he started sprinting along the edge of the Slaughter Fog.
"Your Majesty, don’t split up, that only gives the enemy a chance to defeat us one by one!" one Divine Nature Incarnation of the Ghoul King shouted a loud reminder.
That Divine Nature Incarnation of the King of the Jackalweres turned a deaf ear.
If he were willing to listen to advice, he wouldn’t be a Divine Nature Incarnation of the King of the Jackalweres.
"We follow!" The Divine Nature Incarnation of the Ghoul King could only helplessly follow after the Divine Nature Incarnation of the King of the Jackalweres.
The three Divine Nature Incarnations of the Ghoul King, however, were perfectly in step, because they were very self-aware.
Their ability in one-on-one combat was not strong; if they spread out too much, a single Advanced Undead Lord would not be at a disadvantage against one of them.
If facing two or more, they might very well be utterly destroyed.
Huddling together and acting as a group was the fundantal basis of their victory.
"The other side may be actively manipulating it. One person’s efficiency is too slow; let’s split into two groups!" The other Divine Nature Incarnation of the King of the Jackalweres had no such self-awareness.
He used his actions to perfectly illustrate what "autocratic and arbitrary" ant.
He turned his head and ran off in the opposite direction from the first Divine Nature Incarnation of the King of the Jackalweres.
"I knew it would be like this, I knew it..."
"A bastard with zero sense of teamwork—if we do this, we’ll be taken out one by one!"
"If you’re voluntarily splitting up now, how is that any different from marching off to die alone?"
The three Divine Nature Incarnations of the Ghoul King cursed furiously, completely disregarding any difference in status.
This wasn’t the first ti this had happened, and it was surely not the last.
In the millennia of campaigns they had fought alongside the King of the Jackalweres, scenes like this had played out over and over. Even after suffering huge losses, the King of the Jackalweres had not improved in the slightest.
It couldn’t be said that the views of these two Divine Nature Incarnations of the King of the Jackalweres were wrong.
Creating this kind of Divine Power Mist would definitely consu a huge amount of Divine Power.
The chance that the enemy had directly created a Mist zone with a diater of fifty kiloters was low; it was more likely they were only generating it right in front of them.
For example, just a narrow fan-shaped area—then the Divine Power cost would be only a fraction.
If it was just like an onion ring, a single ring covering the outside, the consumption would likewise drop dramatically.
The best Scouting thod, in fact, was to rise into the air and observe from above; in flat plains, many things naturally beco obvious at a glance.
The enemy had already anticipated this. The dozen-odd Shadow Flyers hovering above their heads would blast them out of the sky the instant they tried to ascend.
But making decisions solely based on this viewpoint was utterly wrong.
Unfortunately, the Divine Nature Incarnations of the Ghoul King had no way to change the decisions of these Divine Nature Incarnations of the King of the Jackalweres.
The three looked at one another; then one of them gritted his teeth and stamped his foot. "If he insists on marching to his death, there’s nothing we can do. It’s impossible to keep both Incarnations safe. We’ll just stick close to one of them; at least in terms of numbers, we won’t be at a disadvantage."
"That’s all we can do!"
"Which one do we follow?"
"They’re both Divine Nature Incarnations of the King of the Jackalweres. In temperant and ability there’s not much difference; it doesn’t really matter which one we follow. Let’s go with the second. The first is running too fast—whether we can even catch up is a problem in itself."
The three Divine Nature Incarnations of the King of the Jackalweres quickly made their choice.
In unison, they wheeled around and headed after the second Divine Nature Incarnation of the King of the Jackalweres.
"A Trap? Or did the Demons’ brain-dead BUFF kick in?" High atop the Lich Tower, watching this scene through long-range surveillance ability, Gaven was full of question marks.
