"What the hell was that?""..." An hour after, Michael woke up after recovering from his blood loss. Teresa had to consume blood that was provided to her by Cian and Sabrine who had tied Michael up with anti-magic cuffs.Michael only turned his head away as he was asked by Teresa who was caught up in his outburst. "Why did you stop me? They needed to be killed!""..."Teresa flinched back as Michael answered as if she was hesitant to agree or deny that. "Gah. I thought that Teresa was caught by this bastard. Turns out, he's asking for our help now?"Cian said as he stood beside Teresa as had his hand over one of her shoulders from behind. "What were you guys doing here anyways?"Sabrine asked as she looked at both Teresa and Michael, wearing seemingly fancy clothes."Y-Yeah. I was trying not to mention it but..."Cian added as they both looked at the two who had been originally together."I was with Michael to see if he was truly ousted from his position and not fooling us into a
"Release them..."With one call, Dokuji commanded the release of mysterious entities. From the underground of the office in District A, they began to feel the ground rumble."What—?"Marina noticed the shaking as they all stopped at the stairs, holding on to something as it intensified. But soon enough, from the ground of the office emerged beasts that they were familiar with."B-Brainless!" One screamed out as they rushed up. Marina stopped and went back down as she thought that if the Brainless were to wreak havoc in here, the building might get taken down and their goal would be impossible. Moreover, District A was filled with residents. She can't let it berserk. "Move upstairs! Keep moving! I'll hold it back!"Using her magic, Herbalist, Marina would begin to conjure plants as they crawled from the ground holding the Brainless."You're not going anywhere, meatheads!"Conjuring a sword with plants, she began to dash in toward the incapacitated Brainless, however just as she d
"Whoa! Whoa!"Dodging every blast that six Sentient Guards launched, Cian made sure that they were firing into the walls of the District Barriers behind him. He couldn't risk the buildings being hit and so he lured them near it and worry less about the robots firing at civilians.The District Barriers were placed up as soon as large explosions happened in District A, enclosing it as the civilians ran out of it."This is very troublesome—"Just as Cian wanted to fire back, he would get hit by a blast, sending him circling down the streets.The blasts were too many to be dodged and despite them not dealing any major damage, if he keeps getting hit by them, the blunt force might shake his head and organs and bones. It was bad in many ways. "Shit, shit, shit. Think, Cian!"He tried to come up with something as he flew around, dodging the blasts the Sentients fired and crept up to him.His electrifying baton would work if he manages to hit one, but even if he did, there was still a lot
"Come on! Come on!"Cian was able to get to the location where the battle took place. There was lots of smoke that came up as he stood from atop the building, unable to even see everything from above."Shit."He jumped down, past the smoke, and landed safely with his flames cushioning his falling speed. The area was covered in the smoke of both dust and debris as if this was deliberately made to hinder someone's vision.Somehow, it was silent around there, but as soon as he took a step forward, ginormous debris would fly right toward him. "—?!"He flinched, dodging to the side as the rock slammed into the building, shattering all the glass and collapsing in many rooms as it crashes into it. He wouldn't be able to walk that one off if he was caught in that attack. He wondered who would have thrown or shot that, equipping his weapons as he had his guard up.Someone powerful must have sent it flying. Someone who had intense magic power to hurl something as big as a car.However, some
Back at the colosseum, 30 minutes before Michael discovered his inexistent office, Sumire and the others along with her team began their move. More than five Sentient Guards had started up to move away from their positions and with one spot left weak, they found a place to push in.It was the backdoor, however, this was something that they had considered as well."It could be a trap. Dokuji knows we're coming and I doubt that he'll be letting us in so easily. So, I suggest splitting up with the main force waiting for a good time to strike at the entrance while we take the backdoor."Vincent began to suggest a plan on the spot as their security seemed to be lax. There was a decent amount of Sentient Guard and only less than half of them could be disabled with the devices and weapons they had."Yet, if we split the teams, they'll know that we split up. We need a full team on the first attack, then the second will have to brute force their way in and someone will take care of whoever t
"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
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
"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
