Chapter 865: A Monkey Legend
The warrior who had just stabbed Umonke was clearly from the Behemoth Clan. Rayna could tell he was quite an established warrior, one that was at least at the middle stage level of Qi, although on the lower side.
There was no one other than those that Rayna was already aware of among their allies, so why would a member suddenly betray one of their own, and one of the Pillars at that?
The man's hands were shaking, part of his sword covered in blood while his lips were quivering.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." he continued to mumble to himself. "I had to do it... I had to." With one hand, the man reached up to the golden headband on his head.
'That's the artifact, the one that Anna brought with her... is that the reason he did that?'
Nearly everyone in the group had managed to receive some type of artifact, but many of Raze's allies were brought together under him. They didn't all have a close connection with each other, and this was true of Rayna and Anna as well, so they didn't have any idea of what the artifacts the others had could do.
"It looks like my plan was quite the success!" Anna said with a smile on her face. "Although it's quite unfortunate the wound isn't so deep. With his attention focused on the two of us, I thought a deeper wound would have at least been made."
In many ways, it just went to show how strong Umonke's Qi was; even in an unexpected situation, the Qi flowing through his body was able to stop the sword from a middle stage warrior from going right through him.
"Hey, let's try and protect that one a bit," Anna said as she charged forward again.
Umonke was ready to strike down the man for the betrayal but was unable to due to the worry of the two on his back.
This time, both Anna and Rayna charged in together.
Rayna swung her spear above, which was blocked, and at the same time, Anna delivered another powerful palm strike filled with energy to Umonke's center, pushing him back.
As he slid backward, a slash was made across his back by the same man with the headband. The wound was shallow, though, only causing a large scratch.
However, Anna could see that since the clan was so large, there was next to no loyalty. Many had joined it just for the prestige that came with being part of one of the major clans. And they were fighting right now because of fear of what would happen to them. The warriors in the Behemoth Clan cared more about their own lives.
"We need to finish this!" Anna said. "Now that our assistant is fighting at full force, we can pin him down, but I don't have the strength to beat him."
Rayna was huffing and panting; her muscles were aching, and at any second, she felt like she would drop the spear on the floor.
"The one that needs to finish him off is you. Come on, do it for the sake of love," Anna said.
In an instant, Rayna's face went red.
"What do you mean?"
"Can't you tell? Raze isn't here, which means something happened to him. If that's the case, look at the battlefield."
Rayna quickly observed what was happening, but she couldn't see anything out of the ordinary; things were somewhat in a stalemate, the same as before.
That's when she realized that was part of the issue.
"Who's fighting Sha Mo?" she asked.
In the center of the battlefield, three people stood there looking at the giant mass known as
Sha Mo.
They stood side by side, quaking inside.
"Is it just me, or can't you help but think we kinda got the short straw?" Liam commented, with Simyon and Safa by his side.
