While the women inside the tent fantasized about having some fun with the charming young teen meditating beside them.
Little did they know that their plans were destined to be foiled by interference that would possess immense danger for them.

A very important meeting was taking place in the forest not far away from the clearing where the camp was set.
There were four figures dressed in red robes and had hoods covering their faces to hide their facial features.
The four figures sat down in front of a tree stump that they had used as a makeshift table while a little glowing orb was floating above the stump, illuminating the surroundings in an area of about 5 meters.
A burly man with a tall stature sat with a dagger in his right hand, while his left hand had a piece of paper. He would occasionally glance at the photo drawn on the paper.
The burly man looked at the photo in his hand and passed it over to his teammates.
The next person to take the photo was a scrawny man. His body seemed that of a skeleton and even the robe he wore seemed to be hung down on his body rather than being worn.
Furthermore, as he held the photo, his hands trembled and seemed to fall from even the slightest movement. The man took the photo in his hand and only gave it a fleeting glance and passed it on to a lady on his side.
The lady took the photo in her milky white hands. The woman was extremely tantalizing, her curves, allure, charm, and elegance were enough to bring down empires.
As her slender fingers caressed the person in the photo, a smile bloomed upon her face. The smile was extremely charming, it had the charm to bring down nations. Fortunately or unfortunately, the hood covered her face. Hence, no one could appreciate her beauty.
The woman took some moments to have a look at the photo and passed it on to the person sitting by her side.
The person had calloused hands while his stature was normal with no special characteristics. The man took the photo in his hands, he glanced at the photo for a few seconds.
Then, fire bloomed upon his hands and burned down the photo in the blink of an eye. After the photo was burned down, the man clasped his hand and the fire also extinguished.
The man then spoke,
"Our order is to capture our target alive, there should not be any major injuries to the target".
Listening to the man who seemed to be their leader, everyone nodded.
The man on the other hand spoke again as he pointed toward the extremely alluring woman who sat next to him,
"As the order is to capture the target without severely injuring her, I recommend Lena to take action against the girl".
Listening to the man speak, the burly man who sat in front of him seemed to be displeased but said nothing. After all, he was not the one in charge.
While Lena nodded to the man with the grace of a queen, gracefully stood from her position and stretched her limbs before she disappeared into the darkness.
Although the woman did not do anything excessive, just the action of stretching her limbs left the three men drooling.
Her curves were in the right places while her long silky smooth legs were extremely alluring coupled with her large and round bosom. Anyone would be charmed and drool over her, much less the three who sat within her arm's reach.
The first to recover from the woman's charm and retain his composure was the normal-looking man who was the leader of the group, followed by the scrawny man. However, the burly-looking man did not even recover after a few minutes. He seemed to be lost in his fantasies.
Seeing this, the scrawny man shook his head and snapped at the burly-looking man,
"Snap out of it Bernard. A brute as you has no chance against her, just move on and get done with the job".
Listening to the scrawny man's voice, the man named Bernard seemed to come out of his fantasies as he smacked his lips with apparent desire.
Bernard then looked toward the leader of the group and asked,
"Boss!, what's my job. It better be fun".
Listening to Bernard's question, the boss revealed a strange smile as a mysterious glint passed through his eyes. He then spoke,
"It's a simple job Bernard, you just have to go in there and wreak havoc".
Listening to this, Bernard laughed out loud as he exclaimed,
"Not bad.. Not bad, just what I love to do".
Then Bernard also stood up and left in the direction of the camp.
Following that, the leader and the scrawny-looking man glanced at each other and nodded as they simultaneously disappeared as well.

Ray had been meditating for the past hours. He did not even know if it was his turn to watch. However, his great concentration was broken down when he sensed an anomaly in the radius of 500 meters.
His eyes opened wide as his mana surged. He felt four dangerous presences rapidly approaching the camp. He also sensed that the approaching presences were of humans and they were all at an advanced tier in terms of strength.
Sensing the presence, Ray got a fright and hurriedly stood up from his position. He then walked towards the women sleeping in the camp and woke them up.
The seductive woman who had previously said to wanted to have fun with Ray was the first to be woken up. She glanced at Ray waking her up and thought that her prey could no longer resist the temptation.
Therefore, she intimately held Ray's hand and leaned forward to plant a kiss on Ray's face. Although she thought that Ray could not resist her temptation, in reality, she was the one who couldn't stop herself and think with a clear head.
Whereas, Ray also realized that the woman's intentions were not good. Therefore, he hurriedly stepped backward. Causing the woman's lips to stop mid-air.
The woman opened her eyes and spoke in a teasing tone,
"What?, regretting now?, too late for that. Now come forward and enjoy with me".
Ray on the other hand could not be bothered by it and spoke emotionlessly,
"It's not what you think it is, Don't get the wrong impression. I wanted to wake you up to tell you that we are under attack. Four presences with the strength of peak of the advanced tier are approaching, so get ready and also wake up the other women".
With that said, Ray activated his speed-related ability and rushed out of the tent at lightning-fast speed, leaving behind a blur.
On the other hand, the woman was very vexed and beet red from embarrassment. After all, what she did was something she would have never done in normal circumstances.
However, she got her bearings right and also got down to work because she could also sense the presence heading over towards the camp.
Meanwhile,
Ray had already come in contact with one of the presences that headed for the camp. It was naturally the burly-looking man who had rushed to wreak havoc.
Ray knew from the aura of the man that the man in front of him was not a mage and purely relied on his strength. Therefore, Ray did not even bother to equip his weapon-type beast soul. He only equipped his armor-type beast soul and got into a fighting stance.
Moreover, he could sense that the man in front of him was most probably the weakest amongst the group that headed towards the camp.
Therefore, Ray could not be bothered to waste much time with this man.
Meanwhile, Bernard only sneered at the sight of a mere kid trying to fight him, and that too without a weapon. However, he was never one to underestimate his opponent.
Therefore, he also got ready to fight the kid in front of him.
Ray did not waste much time and cast his spell,
[Lightning Net],
It was a passive spell that hindered the enemy's movement and poured damage over time and had a high chance of paralysis.
As for the man, he waved his hands and a hammer appeared in his hands. He then heaving swung the hammer towards Ray.
Just like this, a battle between a mage and a pure warrior began.
