[CH598+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Abby speaks next.

"Kill the Kings? Have at it. I'll be watching from a distance."

Bri's voice echoes through their link right after.

"Hey wait! I watched those energy readings when you were only provoking them... It would be most logical to corner one against the three of you... We could even wait for Maria to reply—"

Arie's response comes back next.

"No. I like Abby's plan. More variables will only get in our way."

There is a silence that is only broken seconds later by Raven.

"Agreed. Logic won't be the sole factor in this; it has to be a battle of wills."

Arie smirks as he hears these words, knowing that Raven has figured out exactly what he has.

Though, only silence remains.

During this pause, the Kings have become uninterested in the generals as they've flown out of their range, so they continue back to their own battle.

Alveron speaks after their clash shakes the local regions.

"Humans are very interesting... I've seen a few of your planets over the years. It's always the strongest ones that have the most backward ways of thinking... With such short lifespans, your ability to take risks differs greatly from mine."

The entire planet Alveron floats on lights up with yellow light, but the only feedback the generals get is the sound of simulated light laughter coming from the silver knight. While Alveron doesn't actually laugh, it has studied humans more than enough to know this is what it should be showing after a statement like that.

Bri replies.

"Yes... we must take advantage of the gifts in front of us... but still. You three. Crush your crystals if it becomes too dangerous. We have plenty of time, and have already gathered far more resources than expected from this world."

The three generals acknowledge her worries, but do not change their goal.

Abby nods, then summons another pillar filled with condensed yellow divine threads and sends it moving through the ground toward the Kings. She then sends a message to the other generals.

"Call me for backup if you're hurt. Though, I believe you're capable enough to figure them out."

Then, she begins floating backward while watching the two float forward and surround the Kings just like they did in their first interaction with them—before they all took a lap around the globe.

An eruption of yellow light, triggered by the Lich's arrow attacking the object emerging from the ground, sets off the battle as usual.

A second arrow is sent flying far off in the direction of the healer, while two crescents of demonic matter are thrown from the berserker's blades.

Instead of sticking around to watch the show, Abby turns to leave the moment her job is complete, turning her back to the battlefield while an arrow phases through her body like nothing.

Her sights are set on the desert region near the main base they were initially teleported to.

—

While Abby turns away, the other two generals tighten their movements and go into full battle mode.

This is nothing like the safe and calculated plans they had before to lure the Kings away from the throne from a distance. Now, they're committed to facing them head-on.
