“——Damn it! Where are our scouts? Were they caught?”

“T-Their vitals are gone! They were killed!”

“Tell them to retreat! Abort the reconnaissance!”

“I-It's too late, boss! Their vitals... it's all gone! They're all dead!”

In the central network of Violet Hex, Sumire commandeered everything. The scouting party she had sent to a Viper's base outside of Moonblight was eliminated and killed without mercy.

“What killed them...?”

After slamming her hand into a console, she sighed in frustration and guilt as she asked.

“They were Brainless, Boss. They cast some magic that kept them in, and there they...”

Trailing off of their words, the man who operated on the consoles that were connected to their scouts looked at Sumire.

She had her head down into the console, feeling a sense of defeat.

Everyone else was in silence as she stood back up.

“Retrieve all the footage.”

She sighed after she tried to calm herself down, and as soon as the footage was recovered and displayed, they could see but

    “——The Black Skulls are here.”Arriving in haste, Magi had come back to the Red Tracker's office, delivering the news. However, Kira only stood there unsurprised by it. “We knew that.”“——Since when!?”Magi walked up to her, breathing and out as he tried to catch his breath.“Did you run from the marketplace to here?”Seeing as how parched and exhausted he was Kira asked Magi out of concern. “Never mind that!”Disregarding that, Magi wanted answers right now.“You probably know that the Black Skulls are participating this year. They're bound to be here.”Magi couldn't believe it at first, but he only needed to hear someone confirm it for him. The ones that they were trying to lay low from were them. They know that the twins know about the Unique Integration. They would do anything to eliminate them before a competition for power began between them. “——What is happening?”As Cian heard the commotion, he went downstairs to check, and as soon as he saw Magi in new clothes, he admir

    ——On the third day of their training, Magi and Cian have been able to come up with a plan.Against Kira who only wore a grin before them, the two prepared everything they can to move an immovable wall. “Now!”As he yelled out, Cian began to run around Kira as he tried to get to her blind spot. “You already tried that!”Kira had her eyes focused on Cian as he came close to her side, dashing towards him, however, Magi would fire at her and the ground. “Like I'd let you do that.”Magi expected her to come after whoever was close. She also faced Magi when he fired and gravitated his attacks, confirming the first assumption he made. “Hmph.”Kira didn't move and only faced Magi when he fired his bullets, meaning her ability on works if she can indeed see the attacks. Cian was able to get into her flank after, and with them being on complete opposite sides of each other, she can only dash after one only to risk her rear being open.“Heh? For once, you guys made me rethink my approach.”

    ——As Teresa's shop closes up, Kyle was told to finish up and go upstairs. Kira had joined their table Teresa looked annoyed by Kira's presence. “——Why the hell are you guys working for this succubus?”“Succubus? That's a fine compliment you've got for me sister. However, unlike me, you're not getting any younger.”As the two of them argued, Magi and Cian processed the fact that they were sisters. Teresa looked older than Kira who looked around to be around her late 20s. Teresa was already around her late 30s as well, so their being sisters didn't make sense. Also, they didn't look alike as Kira had natural red hair.“We aren't sisters by blood by the way. We've only claimed it before when we were young. When Kira was still a small little brat.”As they continued to share and reveal their background, they both began to learn that Kira was also like Teresa before. She was a caretaker of another orphanage before. The only difference was that Kira was alone and Teresa had her family.

    “It's my turn now, isn't it?”Keeping a distance from Cian, Kira took a much more defensive stance after blocking a hit from his kick. Her arm was shaking from the force that he was able to deal with out of nowhere.However, she soon realizes where that explosive force came from. From Cian's ankles were rocket-like flames that would appear as he lifted them. There were magic circles behind it, and with extra torque, his kick was as twice as heavy.She also noticed his eyes that glowed as if focused on her, but seeing this as but an opportunity to see what Cian's rumored power was. “Aren't you a crafty one as well?”“Well, in certain places, you have to be creative, right?”As Kira sneered at his apparent tricks, Cian only replied once before rushing in himself with another kick. “——Are you going to use the same move again?!”Cian performs a kick from the side as Kira blocks it much better this time, however, Cian's feet not only hit her arm, but they also swirled up to the back of

    ——As the stroke of night chimed in, Magi and Cian had come back from the hospital. They expected to meet only Kira as Saeko could have already gone home. However, as they went upstairs to the office, there was a man who was on Saeko's desk, seemingly searching for something.“———”They stopped and stared at each other for a moment, but the twins would quickly move and pull out their Grants to aim at the said man.“You guys must be the twi——”BANG! As the man spoke and ignored the Grants pointed at him, Magi was the only one who shot his Grant.“Geez. Aren't you one paranoid idiot?”With his hand extended out, the man caught Magi's bullet as the ice melted out of it. Instead of spreading, the ice was shattered out of it, as if it was but a simple thing. “H-Hey! Why did you fire at him?”Seeing Magi just shoot at someone, Cian shouted at him. They didn't know who he was but it wasn't enough reason for Magi to shoot. “If you're worried that I shot someone who caught my bullet, then

    “What the hell...”Standing before Vincent and Saeko, was a tall man with violet hair and eyes. It reached the ground as their clothes showed a majestic and modern design as if both Magi and Cian's clothes were combined. There were no other words to describe it but, that same man had stood in the same place where Magi and Cian were supposed to be in.Vincent stood ahead of Saeko as they were wary of the man, who looked around, dumbfounded.“———”His face was definitely of the twins. However, it seemed far more mature, good-looking, charismatic, and smooth. “Thee...”Lifting his finger to point at Vincent, the nameless man spoke. “——Where's the twin?”As Vincent asked, he gestured for Saeko to get Kira. She refused at first but seeing Vincent break out in a cold sweat even before a stranger meant something bad. Vincent who was left along with such a man gulped down his saliva. The man before him had tremendous berserk magic inside of him. Usually, if one's mana was unstable like t

    Recirculating the one who called himself Magician, Vincent and Kira had known each other's combat style for years of working together.One instantly knew when the other would attack, and even with just so little information, they can attack in sync. “Quick Blast!”“Gravitize!”As Vincent emitted a blast from his palm towards Magician, Kira had her punch winded up from behind. They were both about to hit him at the same time.“Hmm.”As the attacks came, Magicians lifted their hands in front of each attack, and with a subtle flick, they cast and mirrored everything. “——?!”Vincent's blast was nullified by what seemed to be an inverted colored version of his magic, and for Kira, her magic suddenly backfired on her as she drops into the ground with a heavy body. “U-Ugh——T-That's not fair!”As Kira dropped into the floor, she tried to reverse it by gravitating herself up instead, but as she could only manage to sit up, the weight on her body felt like it was being crushed. “I suggest

    With only a month left for the nearing Mixed Magic Arts Tournament, Magi and Cian became troubled as soon as they were told that they merged. They had no memories of such a thing happening whatsoever, but they had mistaken a scenario similar to it in their dreams. Kira, who decided to cultivate such power had tried to compromise with them by telling them that it was a good thing but the idea of losing control over themselves was something they both antagonized against. It was also the day after that the two had decided to be separated for the time meaning Magi began to shut himself inside the room, looking for answers. There was no telling of when such an uncontrollable event will happen again, and so, it was inevitable the twins began to move their separate ways for now. ***“He just shut me out, man. Can you let me use your room?”In front of Vincent's supposedly room on the fifth floor, Cian knocked in and checked in with Vincent who coincidentally had begun to move out. Howe

    Chapter 161 "Go back to Newyark after this is done, huh? I suppose I'm being treated like a Deux Ex Machina."Whispering above the roofs of the building, Magi kept himself hidden from the eyes of those who were below him. The Brainless were everywhere as few of them survived, moving towards the office as a battle ensued right outside it, wrecking the place open.However, in his position, he could also see Cian, trapped in a barrier with Mia. It looked like it was because of their technology, however, that wasn't something that they would normally do. "An evil man like me cannot be the hero of this day."Cian fired his pistol, his bullet breaking the barrier instantly before Cian could attempt to stab himself with his bare hands. Cian was startled at first as Magi observed him, but his eyes immediately went in his direction, looking up with a look of gratitude. Even after all this, Cian was still nonchalant with his actions. He still cannot believe that they were twins in blood.T

    Chapter 160: "Watch out!"Barely keeping up with Dokuji's speed, Sumire and the others couldn't get closer to force him into a close combat battle as they tried to dodge his attacks.His ranged attacks were too powerful for them to normally dodge as each slash would alter the terrain and create such a large breeze."I can't use my Blood Shackles on him. If anything else, I could use it if he was his normal size!"As Michael stood behind Kalina and Saeko, he was being protected by the ladies.It was far-fetched for a man like him to be useless right now, but he had to admit that he can't do the physical feats they can do right now. As he is now, he'll be a burden if he tried to help them."Tsk. We gotta close the gap somehow. Two people aren't enough to stop him."Sumire's assessment of the situation was right as all of them nodded in agreement. Sumire, Saeko, and Kalina might be able to stop him even by a moment if they worked together, however, that meant leaving Michael to his o

If we spend too much time here, we'll lure the other Brainless in!"As they looked around, their battle was beginning to attract the other Brainleas that survived their battles, gathering up near them as they slowly walked up them.Their men had been slowly wiped out by the others. However."Boss!"As a voice called them from below, three surging arrows would whistle out as it splits the wind, hitting the other Brainless right into their eyes as they fall, defeated with one arrow each. Their heads were impaled through the eye. This was but an easy fit for someone capable of contr

    "R-Red?!"Before her, was the almost disgusting sight of Red whose body was half rotten. On his back, there was a tube that seemed to be suctioning something out of his neck, delivering it to a machine that seemed to produce material on a tube.It was a purple substance that dripped down into a tube that glowed, and as far as Kurumi knew about it, this could be the substance that that Brainless runs with as their blood. "Kekeke... You aren't supposed to be here...""—?!"From behind, a voice suddenly spoke, laughing silently as he lurked within the dark corner of the basement.His eyes glowed green and each of his steps sounded metallic as it stomped into the concrete floor.Kurumi had her guard up, her magic flowing in the environment as she was ready to cast magic."Sniff... Sniff... That's a sweet smell. Do you mind if I...?"Just as the crazed man stepped out of the shadows, he began to suck in air with his mouth, and just as he did, Kurumi felt like her magic was being sucked i

Rather, his image was already gone when the whole attack began. As the mayor of this city, he shouldn't have let those criminals fool him in the first place."Tch. Mayor! Go ahead, I'll have my team take care of this! You are to assist the Boss!"The leader of the mercenary group would wield their Grants, taking on the three Brainless with his other companions. He pointed in the direction where the red light originated, urging him to rush."Alright!"Michael nodded in response, following through with their suggestions.Their group of twenty became reduced as similar encounters would happen, leaving Michael with the last three mercenaries that

    "Heh. What's wrong? You're making a sad face when you're winning. Are you pitying me?!"Looking at the skies, Violet stood there with a sad expression. Her expression kept quiet for a moment as if grieving someone."Oi! Face me when I'm talking to you—"Unsheathing her blade, Violet had already taken two steps past her. It was all too fast. Violet was just a few meters in front of Asa earlier, but now, she was walking past her, stopping before long.But only then she realized that something happened as Violet sheathed her blade away."GUAAAAAGH!"Her right arm fell off, rolling down as a lifeless limb. No blood came out, but only immense pain came with it as she saw the organic parts that were the inner parts of her limb. "You won't die even if I cut your limbs. This blade severs the limb but prevents the blood from going out of the wound. It was a blade for surgical operations, yet perhaps, for Gods."Asa rolled on the ground as she held her severed arm, crying out as it turned

    "That's everyone.""Yep—. Pretty much."Dusting away his hands, Vincent would respond to Kira as they wiped the floor with the enemies. With Kira using her abilities more proficiently with range, Vincent didn't have to constantly teleport in and out, treating Kira as some kind of explosive whenever she attacks. "Let's go."After all that, they entered the backdoor, and just as they thought that things were going smoothly, the corridor was blocked by Sentient Guards."Oh no," Vincent muttered.There were five of them and with both Kira and Vincent blacklisted, they all fired on sight.With less than enough space to dodge, Vincent quickly held Kira by the shoulder and blinked past them."Run!"Both of them ran deeper into the corridor and took a turn, hoping that it would be the way to the office.The Sentient Guards dashed to follow them, but as soon as they took the turn as well, the two were already out of sight, proceeding to clear the corridors."..."Vincent and Kira were able t

    The Fool Who Dares To Wield The Blade

    Chapter 154 "You're not going out alive."Standing before Cian, Violet, and Mia was Asa Narasu. She was the only remaining enemy and with her absorbing the blood of the Brainlesses as her weapons, she might as well be the final boss of this fight. "That's stupidly overpowered!"Cian muttered to himself observing Asa wield that kind of power.The blood around her flossed and encircled her in a sphere and if any of them were to be caught in it, their powers would be disabled. "Oh? That's troublesome. I might have to put this one away."Although, as Narash had the Blood Shackles on, the flames that were enveloping her hands and the Gravity Magic that made her afloat became weaker, seemingly reacting to the Blood Shackles' ability to disrupt magic itself. They all knew that it was an ability that made a mage a normal person if they made contact with it, however, seeing Asa have trouble using it with other abilities meant that it wasn't built to be along with another.It made Cian thi

    The Final Boss?

    "Hup...!"Jumping out of a portal, Magi would end up on another roof again, avoiding confrontation with the others as he helped them from a distance. He was able to get an array of weapons from the helicopter before it exploded such as a pistol and an automatic firearm which was a type he never had used before. He knew weak weapons like this wouldn't work against wouldn't work on Brainless, but he had something that most of the people in the fight don't have. He had deadeye accuracy, and when it comes to the Brainless's weakness, it was the eyes.There was one problem, however. "This is troublesome..."As he aimed down on the surface, there was still a thick cloud of smoke coming out of almost everywhere. He could barely see Cian as he had his back against a building, facing three Brainless that were running after him. Considering the air and the distance, Magi estimated that the bullet would travel less than a second and hit the Brainless, but if he misses, the distance between
