GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2366: Schemes And Tricks.

Their recovery rate of 480 units of spiritual energy per hour is greater than the consumption of their divine form, which is 420 units of spiritual energy per hour.

So as long as they don’t use any divine abilities in their divine beast form, they will be able to maintain the boost from their divine beast form indefinitely.

With this kind of recovery rate, not only will they be able to maintain their divine form indefinitely, but they will also be able to use their spiritual energy for the divine abilities in their pathway and the other three pathways for a very long time.

Of course, this is as long as their souls don’t collapse under the strain. But even if their souls begin to fracture from the stress of maintaining their divine form state for long periods of time, they can just take energy water to recover to their peak state.

They can also use the rank 2 Life Siphon divine ability of the pathway of slavery to preserve the integrity of their souls by sacrificing the lives of their souls.

As long as they don’t need to sacrifice the lives of their slaves, they can also use them as energy sources in case they run out of energy. This makes the third advantage that they have over other legends in terms of energy.

These three advantages are why they are confident in their victory. But even so, they still decided to play some tricks and use some schemes because their total number of enemies isn’t just one legendary noble.

The fact that only one legendary noble has appeared doesn’t mean he will only be fighting one of them. With their domain divine ability, as long as the legendary nobles are in this city, they will be able to attack Legion, so they have to use everything at their disposal to fight.

The first of their tricks is to order their slaves to attack the city from various directions. They did this to see where the other legends are and to make them consume their spiritual energy before fighting them.

The first of their slaves that they sent were the four new rank 6 beasts that they just bought. The four beasts attacked from the north, south, east, and west.

The legendary noble sensed the attacks immediately. Even though he could destroy the four beasts immediately, he didn’t make a single move.

Instead he sneered and said, “Someone is draining the energy spring of the city at the same time that some beasts have decided to attack the city. This can’t be a coincidence.”

He chuckled as he thought about the possibilities. “Either the two of them are working together, or the beasts have chosen this opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Either way, I will not be fooled.”

After chuckling, he said to the epic godclads nearby, “Go and remove the disturbances, and do it quickly.”

The epic godclads nodded and moved quickly to execute the order. Four of them at rank 6 left to execute the order. With the help of other epic godclads, they would surely be able to bring down the beasts.

The noble legend watched them go with his eyes narrowed. He might have laughed off the attack, but he was taking it very seriously.

Legends rarely fight because it is very easy for both sides to lose. It is always best if legends negotiate and come to an agreement rather than fight.

The only reason why legends will fight is if there is something to be gained by fighting that cannot be gained by talking. Usually, one of those things is the life of each other.

He knows this and has also realized that the beast attacks are a prelude to a fight between him and another legend. So he has to take the attack seriously.

In a fight between legends, they have to consider a lot of things. They have to consider how far they are willing to go with the fight and how far the enemy is willing to be pressured before they snap.

If one doesn’t intend to risk everything, including their life and sanity, to kill a legend, it is best not to put too much pressure on that legend, or they will snap and liberate their divine beast form in order to fight back. This usually leads to a bad ending for both parties involved in the fight.

In order to avoid a lose-lose situation, discretion is key. The fight must end at a point when the enemy legends have been pressured enough. Then the two legends talk, and the advantage in the fight is used to get a better advantage in negotiations.

But if one is aiming to kill the legend at all costs, then increasing the pressure on the legend is the key to victory.

The aim is to slowly and surely tire out the legend and exhaust their spiritual energy so that they will be weak even when they liberate their beast form and be less dangerous.

Whether it is fighting for more benefits in a negotiation or fighting to kill, the amount of spiritual energy that the enemy possesses is very important. Spiritual energy determines what can be used to resist and how long such a means can be used to resist.

As a seasoned legend, he recognized the beast attack to be a move to force his hand and make him consume spiritual energy. So he decided not to make a move personally.

Instead of allowing whoever the enemy is to slowly cook him, he decided to hang back and watch. Fortunately, he has a lot of cards to play as one of the ancestors of a coalition of noble families.

He glanced at the opaque barrier shield and thought to himself, “I wonder who the enemy is now. Is it the angel of killing or another legend entirely or the undying godclad here that is stealing our energy spring? Or is someone entirely new involved too?”
