"The pair that attacked us after we killed all those ants, it definitely didn’t seem like a coincidence that they appeared when they did. Not sure exactly how long they were watching us for, but I definitely had a mont where I felt like we were being watched. Assuming they were camping out there, they must have been there for a while," I remarked thoughtfully.
They likely waited till we were done fighting the ants so that we’d be as worn out as possible before they made their move.
Fortunately, they weren’t strong enough to make use of that, but we might not be so lucky next ti.
"," Surmised Superbia in response.
"," Chid in Invidia with a smirk.
"," Pointed out Luxuria.
"Huh, that’d make things a lot easier. Though, we don’t have any idea which of the Monster territories are being stalked by the Generals, so we don’t really have a way to narrow down where she might be," I responded after taking a mont to mull it over.
It was the next day, and after getting so rest, I summoned all the Apostles to discuss our next step.
I’ve maxed out my Power Level now, so it’s ti I start gunning to capture Fenelza and get back to Earth.
But I can’t rush this, I need to plan it out as thoroughly as possible. Even a single slip-up could prove disastrous, so I can’t afford to make any mistakes.
Ai, got any ideas? You’ve been kinda quiet.
Woah, for real? That sounds aweso. Alright, then, I’ll leave you to it.
"?" Luxuria suddenly asked .
Huh. That’s a great question. Ai?
"Looks like that’s a yes. I’ll test it out on a weaker Monster later, just to make sure," I remarked, feeling pretty encouraged.
"," Pointed out Ira.
"," Frowned Acedia apprehensively.
"Hey, that’s a great idea...right now, we need to cause as much chaos as we can, to throw the Demon Lord’s forces in disarray.
And if we launch multiple simultaneous attacks instead of just targeting one area at a ti, that should be a lot more effective," I responded with a nod.
"," Added Superbia in agreent.
"," Remarked Invidia warily.
"Good thinking, I didn’t even consider that. I have no idea if that’s possible," I shook my head.
Ai?
Hm...think I’ll take that risk.
Because if this works, it’ll go a long way to raising the chances of our plan succeeding.
"By the way, just how powerful is the Demon Lord? Am I at least close to his level when I’m at full power?" I inquired, glancing between Luxuria, Acedia and Ira.
"," Responded Luxuria sheepishly.
"," Shrugged Acedia as I turned my attention to him, before shifting my gaze to Ira.
"," Recalled Ira bitterly.
"Well, that’s not particularly encouraging to hear. Alright, then, we’ll avoid the Demon Lord at all costs, we’ll only go after the Generals.
We’ll just have to hope that they haven’t wised up to our plan...all they’d need to do to thwart us would be to hide Fenelza away sowhere.
Or worse, kill her off. If that happens...I’m not sure we’d have any other way of getting back to Earth," I remarked with a grimace...
