Science/Magic 96 Using An Enemy To Fight Another Enemy

Sara put down the communication stone on her hand.

"Is it done?" Bloed asked.

"Done. He'll be here soon. Are you sure about this?"

"Well, I can think only about this method. Let's go. They are about to leave. Leto, do it!"

*Woof!*

At Bloed's signal, Leto opened his mouth and shot an energy ray towards the city walls.

Then–

*Boom!*

An enormous explosion ensued.

Amidst the smoke, Bloed and the others arrived at the city walls.

"Good, we are not late yet."

Regina rolled her eyes.

As soon as they arrived at the city walls, Sara looked around for a familiar figure. When she saw her unconscious sister, she could not help but call out in concern.

"Gina!"

Sara wanted to rush towards her sister but Bloed stopped her.

"Stop. Don't be reckless. Remember the plan."

"But–"

"Calm down. Although Gina is unconscious, she is uninjured. Besides, do you think you alone can against all of them?"

Bloed had already grasped the situation. Seven enemies, three Ranks and four B-Ranks.

The situation was complicated. Bloed, Liu Ying, Sara, and Leto could barely fight an Rank, and Regina could fight another, so they still needed a way to take care of the last Rank and the four B-Ranks.

Of course, Regina could release her demiG.o.d-level strength and take all of them for herself, but that was not going to happen.

"… We need to wait a bit more." Bloed said.

Sara bit her lips and nodded. She then took a deep breath to calm down.

"Sorry, I lost my calm."

Bloed nodded. At that moment, he heard Regina's voice.

"Master, look at that."

"Huh?"

Bloed followed Regina's sight. Instantly, he was stunned.

"That is..."

"Yes, the same monster as back then."

A black ma.s.s-like thing with several tentacles twisting revoltingly.

It was the same monster as the one Bloed and the girls killed while they escaped the exiled lands.

Bloed furrowed his brows. "In other words, they are the ones behind this?"

"Yeah, but it looks like that was not their only goal." Regina said while looking at another unconscious girl in a corner.

It was Erika, the city lord's daughter.

An ice-cold look appeared on Bloed's face.

He was not the only one. Liu Ying, Sara, and even Regina had angry expressions.

The group of four had pa.s.sed through the city to reach here, and in the way, they had witnessed how the monsters chased and slaughtered innocent civilians.

Even although the four of them did their best to help, what they could do was limited. The number of monsters was too huge. It was virtually impossible for them to kill each one of them.

Even Regina thought about releasing her true strength. But in the end, she did not dare to spend her strength killing weak monsters with two demiG.o.ds nearby.

Even more when both demiG.o.ds could easily be enemies.

One was the leader behind the black-dressed men and the other was the man that exiled Bloed.

Regina had to keep herself in top condition in case they attack her master.

While Bloed and the others were observing the black-dressed men, the black-dressed men were observing them. The leader frowned when he saw the four of them plus Leto ready to fight.

"Troublesome… Fortunately, none of them seems too strong."

But at that moment, one of his men, a black-dressed man that lacked an arm, trembled.

"What is wrong?" The leader asked.

The one-armed black-dressed man gritted his teeth.

"It's him!"

"Hmm?"

"He is the one that cut my arm!"

The leader's eyes shrunk. He then looked again at the group and recognized three of them.

The blue-haired body, the silver-haired girl, and the tanned girl.

They were the ones that frustrated the kidnapping of the city lord's daughter and killed several of his men some days ago!

Even his adamantine s.h.i.+eld was destroyed by the boy's saber!

The black-dressed leader narrowed his eyes. "It looks like your revenge will not have to wait then. The G.o.ddess of fortune is smiling to us it seems. Men, kill them! Make it quick!"

When he finished speaking–

*Boom!*

The seven black-dressed men released their auras! Three Rank pract.i.tioners and four B-Rank pract.i.tioners got ready to fight!

"Two of you, keep an eye on the creature and the two girls. The rest, let's kill them!"

"""Yes!"""

When Bloed and the girls saw the situation, their expression turned serious. It seemed they could not continue waiting.

But just when Regina was going to show her true strength–

"Sara, what the h.e.l.l happened!? Explain!"

Sara's expression changed when she heard that voice.

"City Lord!"

The city lord arrived.

He had rushed towards here with a group of men after he heard Sara's words. But he was not expecting to find Bloed and his group here too.

However, that was not the time to worry about them. The city lord moved his anxious gaze towards the black-dressed men and then, his expression froze.

"… Erika…"

At that moment, Sara's enraged voice put the last nail in the coffin.

"City Lord, they kidnapped young the miss and my sister! And the young master... The young master is dead!"

The city lord staggered. He looked at the black-dressed men with an expression of grief and rage.

"G-Gerald, he…"

"They killed him! They are the ones behind the beast wave! City lord, you have to avenge the young master!"

The black-dressed men were startled. Even the leader could not understand what was happening.

But they would never know they had been used as scapegoats.

"b.a.s.t.a.r.dS!!!!"

The city lord let out a heartbreaking cry. His eyes turned red and his grief turned into hate towards the black-dressed men.

Thus, the curtain of the final battle of Calice city opened.
