It was someone else in their group that answered him. 

A large female spoke. She towered above the others and is also in front of their group. So she might be their leader.

She said with a sneer, "Unworthy child of the plane. Do not mind our presence. Just go ahead and take the crown. It is what you came here for after all."

She chose to ignore the question because he is right. They didn't become a group on purpose. They were just lucky enough to be deployed close to the divine crown. They all thought of the same thing. They might be able to track him but they also know where he is headed. They know that he will surely come for the divine crown. So they switched things up and decided to come here where they met each other. 

It was a coincidence that they met each other. It happened because they all think alike. They became happy at seeing each other because their plan is more likely to succeed together instead of alone. Members of their family get stronger the more there are in a single location hunting a single target. 

They used their powers to kill the golems and equip themselves. They have also been able to rebuff any riff-raff that tried to claim the divine crown. One use of their divine ability and people with common sense who were lucky to survive always run for their life. The rest were unlucky to survive their divine ability. 

Several groups came to take the crown too but they all failed. The 5 of them would always return the crown to the golems any time they are about to be overwhelmed by numbers. Then they will use their divine ability to fight back and eliminate the group. 

Now they are going to do the same thing. Soverick will have to take the crown from the pyramid himself while they will try to hamper and sabotage his efforts.

He asked them. "Why don't I just kill you first?"

Soverick gleaned their plan as soon as he saw them return the crown. He expected them to throw themselves at him headless of caution. Their planning surprised him. He didn't expect them to plan at all. He thought they would just throw themselves at him. Still, their plan is full of holes. He can just get rid of them first.

"You're welcome to try." The lady that answered said to him with confidence.

They are ready for him. He has to fight them or they will interfere with his efforts to get the crown. It will be more difficult for him to acquire the crown while fending him off. Even if he does acquire the crown, then they will always be able to track his location with the beacon. That means he has no choice but to try and get rid of them now.

They know what he will do since he is smart and they are ready for it. It might not be the best plan but it is the only one they have against him. If they can't beat him in a 1 vs 5 fight then they can't beat him at all. There are only five of them in this competition. So unless they get allies to help them, this is all they've got.

Jarkon sighed as he readied his spear. He thought to himself. 'This is stupid. We could have gotten allies if we weren't so picky with the people that came here."

He hates this plan. He thinks it is stupid. They can do better but they have been in a rush just making things up as they go without proper planning. The major obstacle to proper planning for them is their one-track mind. For example, they can choose to run away and harass Soverick as he gets the crown instead of forcing him to fight them immediately. That will be more efficient but it also means that Soverick can choose to escape which they can't have. So they have to confront him right here and now.

They also didn't need to confront him alone. Some people came here earlier with the proposal to join forces against Soverick. It was a good idea but the 5 of them refused because they would have to leave the crown and join up with the others in this coalition. The gathering point of this coalition is farther away from here and they only plan to attack Soverick when they have a large enough army. 

They refused because leaving the crown means that they won't be able to fight Soverick as soon as possible. The people that came with the proposal tried to convince them but that ended when two of them were attacked by all 5 of them. It turns out that the ones that brought the proposal had bad Karma. The 5 of them can't go out of their way to hunt others with bad karma since Soverick is their current target but that changes when the people with bad karma come to them. 

What else are they supposed to do? Are they to ignore the glaring bad karma and be patient and work with this large army that they are creating to take out the greater evil that is Soverick Ghastorix? No. They have to be short-sighted and quick-tempered and they have to attack Soverick with their small number. Jarkon thinks this plan is stupid but here he is, a semi-willing participant in the stupid plan.

Jarkon was lamenting inwardly about his circumstances when his eyes narrowed all of a sudden. He braced himself for battle.

Then he swore inwardly, 'Shit. Here we go again.'

Soverick has disappeared from his vision again. It is uncanny how there are no signs of it going to happen. He will be standing one moment totally carefree and talking. Then he will be gone the next. There is no shift in his posture at all. You will literally blink and you will never be able to open your eyes again because a blade has gone through your head. You won't see how you died much less when he moved.
