Chapter 159 "Tch!"Flying around, Sumire carried Saeko around as they tried to dodge the debris that Dokuji began to throw, firing and destroying the small ones, but dodging the hopelessly large ones.Sumire couldn't move all that well with someone on her back, and just as she thought Saeko could be the only one that could disable Dokuji, his transformation made it far harder."This is getting out of hand! 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
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
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
“Shit——”Running across the field, his breath ran short. “——I'm out of minimum magic required to use this damn thing!”He was running across a field that was riddled with metal junk that was scattered everywhere. He was being fired from behind by multiple people that chased him down, barely dodging them and hiding behind a large satellite disc.It looked like an abandoned farm, with its crops withering just recently. The masked man wielded two pistols, however, he was unable to use them as the screen that was integrated into them blinked red. [Warning: Minimum Mana requirement is not met. Disabling function.]He holstered it into what seems to be a futuristic belt, vanishing into digital particles upon contact.It was useless to him now, but fighting unarmed against guns would be something blown out of proportion for him. It was just straight-up impossible. “...Ngh. Those bastards...”He cursed them, yet he wasn't just about to lose his wits and hopes yet. Why? Because he was n
In the bustling city of Newyark, situated between the dissolved borders of the Unique and Elemental Magistry, there was a market that thrived in selling technology and goods alike. “Can I buy this... part for sixty CCs? It looks like it was passed down for centuries now!”Offering to buy a part that had looked like junk on a nearby stall, the presumptuous red-haired man passed by with bags on hand. It was Cian who was wandering around the said market.“——What do you mean by that?! We've been only able to get that because we had a direct source! If you're not going to buy it for 180 CCs, then get outta here!”Yet, that offer was far beyond acceptable by the vendor, pushing him away as the vendor tried to call customers in.“Che! You won't last long in this market if you keep that attitude!”Cian walked away from the vendor while harboring a grudge, verbally retaliating. The paper bags that he was carrying was filled with food and vegetables that he had picked and bought in the marke
“We have a job.”Hanging up, Magi placed down the traditional phone before speaking to Cian. Cian had just finished breakfast, and the first thing that comes to greet their day was a job to be done. It was convenient as they needed a job to earn quick money as they held nothing at the moment. Cian had thought of taking over their financials but Magi would refuse and beat him up as he thinks that Cian would use it for fooling around. “What's the job?”Cian asked as he finished up, wearing a coat again that was identical to the previous one. He had a closet full of it. “I don't know. He told us to meet him up at the shop. Could be something that shouldn't be said through the line, anyone could be eavesdropping after all.”Magi answered with certainty that it was the reason, and just like Cian, Magi had suited to prepare to seek out their job.Magi would open his closet as well, but there were a lot of stones and important-looking junk parts that were stashed in it as if they were
Central Park was filled with distinct people with distinct appearances. Despite it being a public landmark for everyone to take a stroll on and hang around, it was a notorious place for illegal transactions. “Why would they want to meet us at night...?”Wondering by himself, Magi stayed hidden behind the trees as he waited for Cian's call from their intercom.Before they headed here, Shanti, their employer, and the broker had sent a message through the handheld computer. It was a file containing details about a certain organization that was beginning to work itself up in the ranks of the underground organizations. There were currently only three major organizations in the underground. Black Skull, Viper's Venom, and Pandemonium.Violet Hex would be the recent organization that was able to fill up the slot of the third largest and major organization. It was rumored that they had ten fighters that were more than compatible with their Grants and that, they were capable of clearing
“Jack'ole Tern at your service, blah.”Posing his feet widely apart and his tongue out while pulling down on his face, the man who arrived showed nothing but a crazed face. His hair was a weird variant of a mohawk, but with only three spikes, the back of his head was shaved. Behind him was a gang that wore green headbands to imply that they were from the organization Viper's Venom.“——Looks like you didn't learn your lesson last time.”From the smoke caused by the explosion, Violet and Bahamut would come out unscathed, protected by the barrier Violet had set before. Magi and Cian were also inside it, but Magi had already cast an inner barrier only for the two of them if the barrier were not enough. Both of them had also begun to wear their masks as other people appeared. It wouldn't be wise to reveal themselves too easily.“My! Explosions never do the trick, eh? They always raise a flag that it doesn't work somehow.”Jack'ole would take one step forward as he proceeded with his id
