While Aurora was causing havoc on the battlefield, the complete opposite was happening on Desmond's end.
Instead of engaging with the cultivators in front of him, unwilling to risk his life, the moment they reached him, Desmond quickly hid in the shadows, moving rapidly across the battlefield.
As long as there was light, there was shadow, so there were many places for Desmond to hide.
Seeing Desmond's shamelessness, many of the cultivators cursed under their breath.
"Coward!"
"Brat, come out of the shadows and see if I don't dare kill you."
"How can someone be so shameless?"
Some of them also recalled how one of the relics had mysteriously vanished. Because of this, they immediately understood that it was at that moment Desmond had taken the relic.
They could not help but feel a wave of anger, as even then Desmond had been shameless, not willing to endanger his life, yet secretly stealing the relic.
