Chapter 522 - Stealing a Flying Chariot

Han Wu's mission was to retrieve the batch of Angel Elixir. Although this shipment was in the hands of the angels, the ongoing Holy War meant he had to obtain approval from not only the angels but also acquire a transit permit from the demons.

The easiest way to get a transit permit was to find Xu Hai’s friend, Night Terror. Arriving on another battlefront, Han Wu soon obtained another map. Comparing the two allowed him to confirm their verity.

Both sources also corroborated that Night Terror and his army were indeed on the sixth battlefront. Unfortunately, that place was 60,000 km away.

It would take him five days even if he flew all the way there. Factoring in the various skirmishes he would undoubtedly encounter on the journey only lengthened that trip.

According to his contract with the White Mane God King, he only had one month to complete this task. Worse still, the flow of time in the Angel Civilization and the Demon Civilization was roughly the same as the Divine Civilization, which didn’t give him much leeway.

Han Wu needed to find a shorter path. As he pondered his situation, he saw four unicorns with wings pulling a flying chariot, speeding across the sky above. Seated in the chariot were two angels filled with pure light energy.

They chatted and laughed as if the battle below were not even worth their consideration. The sight lit a quiet fury in Han Wu.

Their civilization had spent immense resources to nurture the two angels, yet they were clearly not taking this war seriously at all. They were undermining the effort of the Angel Civilization!

Han Wu decided to teach them a lesson on behalf of the Angel Civilization. It would be even better if he could commandeer their chariot.

Still, he was only here as the Life Infusion Avatar, which limited his course of action. In the end, he opted to relay the information to the rest of his avatars to brainstorm a plan.

Soon, the Replicate Avatar was on his way, poised to reach in half a day. Coincidentally, the chariot also stopped at a nearby battlefront. The two angels disembarked and were happily enjoying a meal in one of the camps.

This gave Han Wu time to wait.

Half a day passed, and the two avatars met. They then fused, strengthening into a peak King life form.

The fused avatar was just one step away from becoming a Sage life form. With that strength, Han Wu was confident he could handle the two angels. However, as this was still their territory, he chose not to fight them head-on.

After all, they had an army at their command, which would make it easy for them to kill him. Even if he fused with more avatars, he doubted that he could stop all of them. He needed a clever plan to get the chariot.

Han Wu first located an isolated soldier with the light attribute that belonged to the angel faction. Then, replicating that attribute, he masqueraded as one of them.

But this wasn’t enough.

If he wanted to fly away on the chariot without meeting any resistance, he would need to appear as one of the two angels. After replicating the soldier, he carefully approached the camp where the two angels feasted.

Having replicated the light attribute, the infiltration was effortless. He then patiently monitored the two angels. Eventually, one of the angels drank too much and stepped outside to relieve himself.

Han Wu quickly followed him. The angel had his guard down when Han Wu knocked him out. He then used Replicate to copy its power and attribute before slicing him into quarters and leaving the remains in the restroom.

With that, he finally approached the chariot.

The four flying unicorns had the regality of divine beasts, but were actually weak, with their only purpose being to pull the chariot.

Han Wu approached them, exuding the presence of the angel.

The four flying unicorns naturally assumed that Han Wu was that angel, and under his order, flew toward the next battlefront with the chariot in tow.

The other angel assumed that his drunken companion had mistakenly set out for their mission and called out, “Hey, I haven’t got on the chariot yet. Wait for me!”

Smiling bitterly, he inwardly chided his companion for being dutiful to the point of working even when drunk. He eventually returned to camp to continue drinking when he received a dreadful report.

His companion’s body had been found in the restroom, hacked into four pieces. The shock of it all snapped the angel out of his drunken haze, quietly thankful that he hadn’t been the one to head to the toilet first. If not, he would’ve been killed instead.

But what do I do next?

the angel wondered.

Do I report this to the main base and tell them to check every single flying chariot, or go chase it down on my own?

As the angel mulled this over, Han Wu’s chariot was already flying over several battlefronts.

When those of the angel faction sensed the presence of the dense Light Energy coming from the chariot, they let him pass without a single check. After all, angels were the ruling life forms of the Angel Civilization. Other lowly light attribute life forms had no right to even greet them.

Thus, Han Wu effortlessly soared past the various battlefields and reached the sixth battlefront without detection from the Angel Civilization.

The sixth battlefront was massive and filled with skirmishes between light attribute and dark attribute monsters.

All Han Wu needed to do now was locate Night Terror.
