Chapter 944: 944. Rescue

Icy Stare had managed to escape from Noah's attack once again, but her ally wasn't as lucky. By the time the black cloud dispersed, the Second Life formation had already replaced the cultivator in the gaseous stage with a magical beast.

The Hive had managed to kill two experts in the fifth rank, but the Second Life formation had rendered those achievements vain.

Icy Stare was too far away by then. She had kept retreating toward the floating structure and had yet to change the course of her flight. Noah could only think that she had decided to withdraw for good, that her role in the first battle over the Empire's domain was over.

Noah glanced at Amos before studying the entire battlefield. The invaders were doing well overall. A few casualties among the rank 5 cultivators of the Empire had happened, but the Second Life formation had always intervened to save their lives.
