Science/Magic 85 The Battle Of Calice City 2

When the flying monster reached the wall, the whole city saw how they clashed against the defenders.

At the same time, they saw many of the flying monsters bypa.s.sing the wall and flying inside the city.

"G.o.d!" One of the citizens opened his eyes wide in fear. He could see the black cloud of monsters flying towards them.

Almost instantly, all the people that were still on the streets ran inside their houses. Fear and panic filled the city.

Only a few people stayed outside.

And Bloed and Regina were two of them.

"Master, I can feel two very powerful energy fluctuations outside the city. They are clas.h.i.+ng right now."

"How strong?"

"… A bit weaker than me if I go all out."

Bloed narrowed his eyes. "DemiG.o.ds? The monsters have a demiG.o.d-level fighter?"

"I fear so, master."

Bloed furrowed his brows. It seemed that this battle was going to be much tougher than he expected.

"… Regina, do you think you can kill the demiG.o.d monster?" Bloed asked.

"… Master, if you order me to, I'm dutybound to do it. But I don't want to. My duty is to protect you, master. Not to protect this city."

Bloed expression turned complicated, but he knew Regina was right.

In truth, Regina was completely indifferent to the fate of Calice city.

The only reason she was still here was that Bloed had decided to stay, so she stayed with him.

And although she would leave Bloed to fight the monster if Bloed asked her to do it, Bloed knew Regina would be unhappy. And in the end, although Regina was technically his servant, he considered her his partner. And Bloed did not like to force his partner to do something against her will.

"… I understand. Let's go to take care of our task then."

"Understood, master."

Climbing onto Leto's back, the pair of master and servant rushed towards the nearest flying monster.

At the same time, part of Leto's body turned into the sniper mode of Bloed's energy gun.

Bloed's eyes were as calm as a lake. He raised the weapon, aimed towards one of the birds and–

*Bam!*

–The first bullet was shot.

And the first monster fell.

Bloed's expression did not change despite killing it, however. Instead, he mechanically aimed at his next target and pulled the trigger once more.

*Bam bam bam bam!*

The process repeated several times. Astonis.h.i.+ngly, Bloed did not fail even once despite most of the monsters being far away and moving in the air. Each monster was killed with the first shot.

Just in terms of killing rate, Bloed was probably the number one in the entire city!

The people in charge of killing the monsters that bypa.s.sed the defenses were surprised. They did not know who was killing the monsters, but they were in awe of his strength.

Each time, they only managed to see a blue ray charging towards the sky at supersonic speed. Every time, the blue ray would hit the monster's head. Even when the monsters tried to evade, it was as though the projectile knew where the monster was going to move.

But soon, stronger and stronger monsters started to appear.

When the first B-Rank flying monster entered the city, Bloed's bullet failed for the first time.

The monster seemed to detect danger ahead of time, twisting its body and avoiding the bullet just when it was about to hit it.

Then, the monster looked at the ground and locked into its enemy.

When it saw Bloed, Bloed pressed the trigger again.

*Bam!*

The bullet flew, and the bird rotated in the air to evade the attack. Next, the B-Rank flying monster dived towards Bloed.

"Regina!" Bloed calmly aimed again and called out to his partner. Regina nodded and extended her hand forward. A ma.s.s of energy formed in the center of her hand.

"Die!"

The energy ma.s.s was shot towards the flying monster!

The flying monster narrowed its eyes. Just like last time, it rotated its body airborne and evaded the bullet. But–

*Bam!*

A bullet flew straight to the place where the bird evaded, hitting it on the chest.

*Screech!*

With a short scream of pain, the flying bird crashed against the ground and stopped moving.

"Next one."

Bloed and Regina shot and killed monster after monster. It was as though they were killing insects instead of powerful beasts.

Their killing rate was overwhelming!

But in the end, four hands were not enough to change the situation.

"Master, the number of monsters is increasing too quickly." Regina said with furrowed brows. "At this rate, we will be unable to take care of them before they reach us."

Bloed did not reply, but he knew that Regina was right.

At the start, his bullets were enough to keep the flying monsters at bay. But currently, more and more monsters managed to cause damage to the city.

Now, Bloed could see more than ten clouds of smoke in different parts of the city. Bloed did not need to think too much to know that fierce battles were being waged in these places.

Moreover, perhaps because Bloed's killings were too notorious, many monsters had put their eyes on hin.

*Screech!*

With a cry, a group of bat-like beast attacked them.

Bloed frowned, but Regina took a step forward before he could move.

"Master, leave them to me. You focus on shooting them."

"Mm." Bloed did not hesitate to put his trust in her.

The bats were very fast, and their movements were unpredictable. Besides, they used sound waves to confuse the enemy.

But none of these was a problem for Regina. Generating two energy blades on her hands, she jumped.

*Slas.h.!.+*

One movement of her blade bisected a monster. Another bat tried to use the fact that she was in the air to attack her, but Regina kicked the corpse of the bat she just killed and changed her direction, pa.s.sing below the new bat and slicing his belly open.

Meanwhile, an energy spear materialized above her shoulder and flew towards another bat that planned to attack.

*Spurt!*

With a disgusting sound, the spear pierced the bat's neck and pinned it to a wall.

With such impossible-like movements, Regina continued moving in the air. Sometimes, she kicked a wall, sometimes, she kicked a corpse, sometimes, she kicked a branch. However, she always managed to evade the bat's attacks before killing them.

Even when the bats tried to get out of her range, she created an energy spear or an energy arrow and impaled them.

Even more astonis.h.i.+ng was that she never used energy beyond the C-Grade in any of her attacks or movements!

Bloed looked at the scene in awe while he aimed and pressed the trigger of his weapon.

But quickly, more and more flying beast were congregating around him. In the end, Bloed did not have more options but change his strategy.

"Regina, we need to move. Leto!"

*Woof!*

The metallic wolf nodded and kicked the ground. It then started to run through the empty streets of the city while Bloed and Regina rode it and killed the flying beast.

And when any flying beast was foolish enough to attack the wolf, it would use its metallic claws to show them it was not any weaker than its master and mistress.

The battles through the city intensified. The number of monsters grew exponentially, and cries and screams of pain filled the streets.

Bloed wrinkled his brows. He could see the situation was quickly worsening. Just the flying monsters were much greater than antic.i.p.ated.

And at that moment.

*Boooooom!!!*

A strong impact shook the city.

The city walls trembled. Some of the adventurers fighting on the walls fell to the ground, and pieces of debris crumbled from the city walls.

Finally, the main attacking force of the monster wave had reached the city.
