Science/Magic 93 Not One Left Alive

One kilometer away, in an abandoned house, a honey-haired girl was resting in a chair with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes. Without hesitation, she stood up and rushed towards a door.

But–

"… So you were here, huh. We finally find you."

A shadow suddenly appeared in front of her.

The honey-haired girl's face changed. She looked at the shadow with a mix of fear and despair.

"The shadows. So you already caught up…"

"Mm?"

Gina sighed. "Is fate so difficult to change? I wonder if this is enough."

Looking up, her eyes seemed to see through the distance separating her and Bloed.

"… Are you not here too, my hero?"

Unbeknownst to her, everything happening here had fallen in a pair of golden-colored eyes.

…

Gerald's lips turned white. At the same time, the poison in his body spread even more.

With the poison plus the blood loss due to injury, Gerald would die in less than ten minutes.

Gerald panicked. "The antidote! I'm sure she has it!"

Sara smiled indifferently. Antidote? Why would she carry something that could save her enemy?

However, Gerald was already grasping at straws. His fear of death had blinded his reason.

"Get her!"

His shout awoke the black-dressed men, reminding them of what they had to do.

Even although the enemies were strong, they did not care. As death warriors, their master's orders were absolute.

The remaining twenty-one enemies charged towards the group of two humans, a demon, and a wolf.

When the black-dressed men moved, Bloed and the others moved too. Sara disappeared from her position, Liu Ying entered in a combat-readied stance, and Bloed raised his gun. The next second, Leto turned into a wave of metallic sand that surged towards the enemies.

The battle unfolded once more, but this time, the results were overwhelmingly in Bloed's group favor. In just one minute, the four of them managed to kill eight enemies!

Moreover, Sara had made use of her stealth to gravely injure a B-Rank.

It was not even a fight; it was a ma.s.sacre.

"Young master, we can't continue like this. All our men will die if we continue like this."

Gerald's face was bloodless. He stared at Bloed and the others with hatred and unwillingness.

Then, he smiled bitterly.

"You are right. This can't end like this."

Then, he took a deep breath and made the best choice he could do in this situation.

"Forget about me and retreat. If even one of you survives, tell father everything that happened here."

"Yes, young master."

The change was immediate. The black-dressed men instantly retreated and started to escape.

Sara's expression changed.

"Young master Bloed, they can't escape! If the city lord learns about what happened here, our situation will turn bad!"

Bloed and Liu Ying understood the situation. They quickly rushed to kill as many enemies as possible.

At the same time, Sara and Leto went after the B-Ranks.

The fight was incredibly b.l.o.o.d.y, but now that the black-dressed men had lost their will to fight, they could not put a fight against the four killing machines.

Of the eleven remaining enemies, Bloed killed four and Liu Ying killed another two. Sara managed to finish one B-Rank, and Leto killed another two enemies.

Unfortunately, one of the B-Ranks and a C-Rank managed to escape.

Sara's expression turned ugly.

"Dammit!"

Seeing that, Gerald started to laugh.

"Hahahahaha… Bloed, Sara, perhaps you survived this time, but father will avenge me and kill you! I'll wait for you in h.e.l.l!"

"Shut up!" Liu Ying snorted and punched him in the face. Gerald's body flew for a few meters and crashed against a wall. One second later, he spat out two broken teeth.

"Idiot." Liu Ying scoffed and looked at Bloed worriedly. "What now? I think it's better if we escape the city as soon as possible. These men know my ident.i.ty as a demon, so the city lord can easily rally the city against us. Who knows, perhaps he will even accuse us of the beast wave."

But Bloed shook his head. "What are you worried of? Don't worry, the city lord will not learn anything."

Gerald scoffed. "Hehe, and how are you going to do that?"

Bloed ignored Gerald's loser sarcasm and looked in a certain direction. "Regina, you have them, right?"

"Of course, master." A voice replied from above them. Sara and Liu Ying were surprised and looked up, only to see a silver-haired girl carrying two unconscious men in her hands. "How can I left master enemies to escape?"

Gerald was surprised. "You… How are you here!? That teleportation scroll was supposed to send you to the middle of the beast wave!"

"And?" Regina shrugged. "I only needed eight seconds to return. I did not appear before because this was a good opportunity for master to practice, otherwise, I would have appeared long ago.

Gerald was stunned and terrified. Eight seconds? How was it possible?

Unless–

Gerald paled. No, it was impossible. How could it be?

No demiG.o.d would lower himself to become the servant of a young man!

Regina noticed the expression on Gerald's face and smiled in disdain. She then threw the two men on the ground and created two small arrows of energy, killing them instantly.

"With this, the city lord will not learn of the situation here for a while." Bloed smiled.

Gerald paled. In a last attempt to salvage the situation, he tried to grab the communication crystal he carried with him, but an energy arrow Regina's shot destroyed it.

"Just die peacefully and stop causing trouble." Regina said before turning towards Bloed. "Master, there is something I think you want to know."

"Mm?"

"Someone kidnapped the girl of the dreams."

Two chapters tomorrow (perhaps, I'm not the most reliable when it comes to schedules)...
