Finding Yuga was not a simple task. With less than a third of Kadi's network lines left, there was no guarantee Yuga would be found among the remaining ones.
"I don't understand. Is Yuga really that important?" Kadi remained confused. He thought Yuga held the key to resolving their predicant and was thus puzzled by the focus on him.
What Kadi didn't know was that Kuren and the others were rely trying to confirm their hypothesis.
If this hypothesis could indeed be confird, they would have a glimr of hope, though it seed very faint.
During their search, they continuously discussed various possibilities. They could neither see nor touch the Dark Force, so they could only speculate. This made things rather difficult for them.
This was especially true for Kadi, who was a man of action; he felt tornted at this mont. Even though he sotis gained a sense of accomplishnt from participating in Kuren's discussions, he still felt unsatisfied if he hadn't fought.
Kadi yearned for a fight. His bones itched for action, but he couldn't find an opponent.
Their initial confrontation with the Little Black Hands eventually led to finding their true forms, and they unexpectedly beca friends. His chance for a fight vanished.
He wondered where the Little Black Hands had run off to; they were now silent and undetectable.
At this mont, the displaced Spirits, including the Little Black Hands, were all astounded, hardly believing what was happening before their eyes. However, they were ultimately not the focus of attention; neither side considered them to be of significant importance. Even Kadi only rembered them at this particular mont.
Kadi wondered why these Little Black Hands couldn't communicate via the Ant Connection Spell. If they could be brought in, things would surely beco more interesting.
However, this was only his idea, and turning it into action would require many conditions.
They were still following Igor's plan: find everyone, attempt to communicate, and establish their counterattack faction.
In reality, this faction had been established long ago. The only problem was that its mbers were now being individually isolated by the enemy, who seed to be using a divide-and-conquer strategy against them.
As for why Kuren and Stan Sol hadn't been subjected to the Dark Force's telepathic attacks, they would have to find the answers themselves.
They had so much ti to search here due to several conditions. Primarily, it was because of the relentless, individual resistance of their comrades. While this resistance seed inexplicable, it effectively slowed the Dark Force's advance.
Kadi and the others had certainly felt this. At the end of every network line was a Soldier combating an invisible enemy in their own unique way.
Whenever he saw such scenes, Kadi felt distraught. This was especially true when he observed Kevin repeatedly slashing his sword at the enemy. His throat grew hoarse from shouting encouragent; he desperately wanted to help Kevin but could only observe, unable to participate, as this was rely his Spirit Vision.
The arrival of Kuren and the others did help Kadi share so of the burden; at least he no longer needed to rack his brains. Once Kadi returned to the role he excelled at, he accomplished everything swiftly.
Therefore, they were quickly approaching the end of searching through the remaining third of the network lines.
One of the line's ends was completely empty. Kuren could sense the Great ntor's Spirit Power but couldn't trace where he had gone. They even saw the entity ford by the Dark Force's telepathic attack still searching for sothing there…
Strangely enough, this Dark Force consciousness couldn't detect them, allowing them to observe the situation closely.
Their conclusion was that the Great ntor was likely unhard. How could soone who created the World Setting Technique be defeated by sothing like a telepathic attack? The Great ntor must have been drawn away by sothing else. As for what it was, they could only guess.
The Great ntor might have discovered sothing unusual. Hence, he left his Spirit Power here as a warning to those who arrived: "Danger ahead. Do not enter. Wait for my return."
This thod of communication was unique to the Great ntor. Kuren was worried, but he also knew that at this mont, rather than fretting about the Great ntor, it was more important to work with Kadi to overco their current predicant.
The invader was no longer a simple Dark Wizard; it wasn't an exaggeration to describe it as the entire Dark Force.
The Dark Force. Perhaps this was the first ti the creatures of Guru Mountain had faced it directly.
Not long after leaving the network line connected to the Great ntor, they found Yuga.
Yuga had summoned a Wind Elental, which was wreaking havoc everywhere.
Initially, upon seeing this, Kuren and Stan Sol's hearts sank. Seeing Yuga attacking everywhere with the Wind Elental made them think their speculation had been incorrect.
However, after observing for a while longer, they gradually realized Yuga's attacks seed aimless, more like a sweeping search.
Seeing Kuren and the others, Yuga was taken aback. He had never expected this to happen. After being isolated, he realized he had been fighting alone.
"How did you…?" Yuga recalled the Wind Elental and stared, puzzled, at the three before him.
"You can communicate with us?" Kadi was surprised to find another like himself.
"Is that strange?" Yuga felt it was perfectly normal.
"This isn't the real world!" Kuren quickly explained, thinking Yuga might still be disoriented.
"Huh?" As expected, Yuga didn't understand what this place was.
"This is a space created by the Dark Force's telepathic attack on our minds," Kuren quickly explained.
"A telepathic attack? The Dark Force?" Yuga pondered. As a Wizard, he was well-versed in such spiritual attacks. "Could it be that their thod of attack is to banish soone?"
Hearing Yuga use the word "banish," Kuren and Stan Sol sighed in relief; it seed their hypothesis was validated.
Yuga hadn't been attacked here either.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have assud the enemy had banished him.
Kadi naturally understood what "banishnt" ant, but there was one thing he couldn't figure out.
"If you weren't fighting the Dark Force, why were you attacking so ferociously just now?" Kadi was curious. Yuga had clearly been fighting here, so why did he suddenly imply no one was present?
"That was a carpet search. I thought the enemy had to be nearby. Now that I've heard what you said, I understand. The Dark Force is using a spiritual attack."
Stan Sol and Kuren's expressions grew solemn. Since their hypothesis was confird, they had reached a critical mont. No more words were needed; as seasoned Soldiers, they instantly understood each other's intentions.
