Because super long-distance teleport formations consumed too much Spiritual Energy, they were activated only once per day. The cultivators and demon beasts had to gather around so that all of them could be sent to their own destinations at once. There were several teleport formations around, so Krune looked at his communicator to see which one was correct.
"So, the first teleport will send us to the Marroke Planet. It should be around time for it to be activated, so let's go there."
Krune showed the blue token that Lagan gave to him to the guy overseeing the teleport formation. After using some kind of Spiritual Equipment, he let Krune and his group pass. Thirty Minutes Later, the place had around a hundred or so cultivators and demon beasts using the same one.
Everything went well, and soon, Krune's group appeared on a teleport formation on Marroke Planet. The Mission that Krune and Feifei took can be done on a planet called Hived, which is six teleport formations away.
Because each teleport formation had its own time to be activated, Krune's group took almost two days to arrive in Hived. Once there, they immediately left for the Mission.
"So, according to the information, we need to take care of a group of bandits from the Tissin Territory. Usually, this kind of Mission would be taken by the cultivators and demon beasts of the same Planet. So I have no idea why they would send it to planets so far away."
Feifei then said.
"Who cares? This is not our problem. Not to mention that this is exactly what we needed. As long as I get to test my skills and get some combat experience, it will help a lot. I also want to test some water skills with the Flow Law that I learned."
Krune nodded. For this Mission, only Krune and Feifei would be participating.
"Dilo, you will also stay out, or it won't even be a test to start with."
Dilo nodded but made sure to keep his Divine Sense spread just in case.
"Do we know where to go?"
Krune nodded.
"It seems like they are quite famous in this territory and even have a base. There are two cultivators there that seem like to have some backing. Otherwise, there is no way that they could keep a base out in the open, and no one did anything."
Feifei nodded.
"So, how are we gonna do it?"
Krune thought a little and suggested.
"Should we go all out in a frontal attack?"
Feifei laughed out loud. Krune seemed to be very confident about his abilities now.
"Sure, why not? If they were just common cultivators and demon beasts, I would go easy on them. But since it is a group of bandits, I won't hold back at all."
Krune also nodded and decided to do the same. But he will keep his moto of not killing. His plan is to simply destroy the bandits' cultivations. Human and Demon beasts without Spiritual Energy won't be a cause of danger to anyone.
Dilo then asked something else.
"And what about this backing that they have? From what you showed me in the information, the leaders are two youngsters at the 1st and 2nd Stages of the Divine Soul Realm. Both of them are under the age of 30, so they definitely have some clan, sect, or something behind them."
Krune shrugged his shoulders and said.
"This is not our problem either. Once we finish the Mission, we will go back and teleport to the next Planet. There, if we have enough time, we will report the mission conclusion through the Misson Hall Network. Any side effects of this operation will be up to them to deal with."
Dilo couldn't help but few that Krune was quite shameless.
But there was one thing that he was more concerned about. The fact that Krune is still at the 7th Stage of the Core Formation Realm.
'Can he really fight someone at the Divine Soul Realm?'
Dilo decided to just be more careful and intervene in case something happened.
It took around one hour to arrive after taking a teleport formation to another part of that same Planet.
"Oh! I can see their base already in my Divine Sense."
Feifei then laughed a little.
"I wonder if those two can even feel your Divine Sense at all."
Only now did Dilo notice something. Krune Divine Sense power was ridiculously powerful! He could obviously feel it since he was in the 1st Stage of the Soul Forging Realm, but he is 100% sure that it would be impossible when he was in the 1st Stage of the Divine Soul.
'Just what is wrong with this wisp?'
He is following Krune because of his immense talent in Alchemy. But he wasn't expecting much from his combat prowess at all. Or at least, he wasn't until now. He thought that Krune was going to use some trump card to deal with those Divine Soul bandits, but now he wasn't sure anymore.
Krune then asnwered Feifei's question.
"Oh, they should be able to feel it, right? After all, I already reduced the power quite a bit."
Dilo thought that he was hallucinating.
'Did he just say that this Divine Sense power is the one when he is holding back?'
Sure enough, the young bandit at the 2nd Stage of the Divine Soul Realm was still able to feel Krune's Divine Sense.
Inside a big room in the bandits base, two youngsters were drinking and laughing while a party was going on.
Suddenly, one of the hosts stood up from his chair and looked in a certain direction. He then looked at his brother beside him and said.
"Fian, we have company."
The one who talked was Fien, Fian's older brother. They aren't like real bandits who attacked for the money, spirit stones, and other things. In fact, both of then could be considered very well off. Their father is an elder of a Kingdom nearby. So they really didn't need any of those. It was due to his backing that they could do as they pleased in this place.
But in the end, they committed way too many misdeeds. So some people and demon beasts who weren't particularly rich but had some money gathered together. To make sure that they wouldn't be found out, they sent a request that was already paid to other planets far away. Even though it might take some time until someone takes the mission, it would at least guarantee their secrecy.
Now, Krune and his group just so happen to be the one who accepted the mission. Sure enough, both brothers' father didn't receive any information from their Mission Hall Branch connection, let alone the two young ones.
Fien then left the room. Fian noticed that the situation didn't seem good and followed right behind.
Once they appeared outside, all they could see was Feifei and Krune. Of course, both of them had their appearances changed.
Fien immediately got surprised. That is because he can tell that Krune and Feifei were only at the Core Formation Realm 7th and 9th stage. But what was weird was how powerful Krune's Divine Sense was. He could only barely feel it and was sure that his younger brother couldn't even notice a trace.
Krune looked at Feifei and commented.
"See? I told you. Now that I reduced the intensity of my Divine Sense, at least that guy at the 2nd Stage of the Divine Soul Realm felt it. Still, let's not look down on our opponents."
Because Fian couldn't feel anything, he felt that Krune was being delirious. But once he looked at his brother's ugly face, he immediately understood that it wasn't a joke. He then heard a Divine Sense message from Fien.
"Fian, those two are in the Core Formation Realm, but something feels off. I don't know if he is lying about the fact that his Divine Sense is stronger than this. But there is no doubt that at this moment, it is stronger than mine at least. I can only barely feel its presence."
Fian then snorted and said.
"So what, a Core Formation Realm is still a Core Formation Realm. The gap between realms isn't something that can be measured with Stages only or by the power of a Divine Sense. It seems like they were sent to deal with us, so let's just get over with it so that we can continue the party."
Although Fien felt that something was fishy, he really couldn't see the presence of any other cultivator or demon beast around with his Divine Sense.
Dilo, Ruik, and Tiane were obviously nearby. But they were far enough to not be detected. Dilo, of course, had a much more powerful Divine Sense than those two young brothers. So he wasn't afraid of being found out.
Krune could more or less understand what Fien was thinking, so he commented.
"Don't worry. The only reason why my fiance and I got this mission was so that we could test our abilities. There will be no one else coming to help us in this fight. Also, I don't like killing, so all we are going to do is to destroy your cultivations and the cultivation of the other bandits in your base. That's all."
The brothers' faces changed after hearing that. Krune was totally talking as if they had no chance of winning. Someone with a cultivation way below their own on top of that.
Krune looked at Feifei and asked.
"So, are you taking that 2nd Stage guy?"
Feifei nodded.
"The 1st Stage one would end too fast. Considering the difference in cultivations, it should be better this way."
Feifei then looked playfully at Krune and asked.
"Should we compete to see who will take their opponent down faster?"
Krune shook his head.
"We wanted to get some battle experience and test our skills after those months of a blank. If we go all out from the start, it will have no real practice value. Let's just make the most of this chance."
Although it seemed like Krune was saying that on purpose, the fact is that he was really speaking without any intention of provoking. Those are simply his real feelings regarding this battle. Krune couldn't feel any danger coming from those two at all. Of course, Krune would never drop his guard just because of this.
Even if Krune wasn't intentionally provoking the two brothers, they obviously didn't know that.
"Asking to die!"
In the end, they couldn't take it anymore and immediately attacked.
