Among Jin Gu and his three companions, a burly man stepped forward, his entire body covered in armored plates.
His Ultimate Dao power was defense.
He had cultivated the path of defense to a level no one could breach.
He had once stood still and allowed a powerhouse of the same realm to strike him at will.
Not only had he remained unharmed, but the recoil had nearly killed his opponent.
Most terrifying of all, this fellow could absorb all the power directed against him and launch a full counterattack.
He was a truly terrifying man. It was hard to imagine that almost everyone who fought him died from their own attacks rebounding on them.
In other words, unless you could finish him off with a single fatal blow, what awaited you was the most merciless reflected attack.
This fellow was the strongest of Jin Gu's group of four.
The four of them were exceedingly cautious, too. They sent their strongest member into action first, and if even he found himself in danger, they would retreat immediately.
Just like the last time they encountered Attendant 99, they certainly felt some gratitude toward him.
But that gratitude was nowhere near enough for them to spare that vast world.
Their unwillingness to keep taking risks was mostly born of fear.
Only those who had spent time working alongside Attendant 99 understood just how insidious he was, and how far ahead he planned.
You never knew how many contingency plans this fellow had tucked away.
Most importantly, those contingencies allowed him to preserve his intelligence every single time.
Almost every one of these attendants would merge with their master, ultimately becoming a new life-form.
They would form a new generation of slaves for those above to command.
But Attendant 99 had never merged
