At the headquarters of the Red Trackers, Vincent was left alone to look over the building.

Sabrine had left to gather data for the Red Tracker's fights and the rest had been made to stay in their holding rooms until their matches happen.

“It sounds lonely in here.”

Without the noise of either Kira being her usual self or Kurumi's usual training routine, the building was practically empty without the members in it.

He was being sentimental when he had all the time to rest.

“...Huh?”

Just as Vincent looked out of the window, he would see multiple men that wore what seems to be hooded.

As far as he knows, they invited no one and had closed business temporarily.

They were uninvited guests.

It was his first idea to call the others about this so he pulled out his phone, however, just as he tried to call them, the call ends with a noise.

“Give me a break...!”

The call was intercepted.

He was left alone to defend himself now.

“G-Good job out there.”

    “——Would you like to explain yourself...? Aspiring Champion?”With both hands on his back, Michael Hudson had inquired Cian. He had a smile that was hard to discern if fake or not, but he had done it so to show courtesy.His staff was grouped at the sides of the corridor as Cian and Michael faced each other.“Mr. Mayor! We meet again!”As Cian instantly recognized him, he rubbed the back of his head as he leaned and bowed, greeting the Mayor who appeared before him. It was a display of courtesy and gratitude, yet it was something unwarranted for someone who was causing the Mayor trouble. “Why aren't you following the staff's instructions? It was strictly advised for your stay in the mezzanine after winning. You are in luck that I like you a lot and I don't want you to get disqualified by something like this.”Michael confronted Cian, maintaining a smile of an affectionate mayor. Michael had seen how the staff were barely able to hold Cian back, but that was because he abstained fr

    WHOOSH! The doors in Magi's room would slide open, finally letting him out. The tournament was continuing its course as he was the next one to fight, and this will be the revelation that his death was but a false rumor. “Stand up. Don't attempt to do anything funny. We've had enough trouble for one day.”A staff guide would enter the room and lead Magi out with the least courtesy. This kind of attitude words him was unwarranted and annoying for the Magi. “You don't have to worry about that unless your attitude changes.”Swiftly walking past them, his simple notion made them feel cold. Their hands shivered at the sudden drop in temperature. That alone distracted them all as they tried to lead Magi who had walked through the corridor alone, proceeding to the lift that would bring him to the arena. There was no need for them to tell him what to do. From the deep halls of the colosseum, the lift would rise as he saw light from above spilling out.The floor above slowly opened up as

    ——As the cheers of the audience in the colosseum become loud, their sword becomes stronger as well.“Hmph! Parry this you filthy imbecile!”Using the thin yet long, serrated blade, Poppo started to attack the offensive, pushing Magi back as his distance to the side of the arena closes. “——!”He was being pushed back somehow, he wouldn't win a match of sword fighting. However, he had an idea.“Glazier. Ground Zero.”Unholsting his Grant, he would aim Glazier at Poppo as he parried the next attack. Poppo wasn't as surprised as before as he tried to break away, however, due to the serrated nature of his blade, it was stuck as Magi turned his blade nature. He fires away, creating a sudden rumble across the arena, creating a huge floor of ice as everything around it freezes around his area. Yet, Poppo was able to save himself from it at the last second.“Geh. Ice. You never learn, do you?”Poppo only had a disgusted face. Elemental Magic was just as pitiful and weak as he thought it w

    With almost everyone preoccupied, Sabrine was done with the masks. All she had to do was to deliver them to everyone and call the signal in to have the others run in. Yet, it was where the problem began to show. “——Ngh?! The door's stuck?!”As she tried to push the glass door open, it was stuck and won't move.There was a metal screw that got loose after Baji shot it, locking the door altogether.She tried to shoot through the door with a point-blank shotgun, but it would only launch the shotgun back, creating only shallow craters from the pellets. The front door was unusable but it wasn't the only way out of the building.“——Tch!”As she sees Violet and Vincent get pinned on by three of their enemies who had the advantage, she quickly had to make a decision. She grabbed all of the makeshift masks she made, and went upstairs. Vincent would see Sabrine do so, confused as to why she came back up when he expected her to be done by now. However, he wasn't at the right time to think

    “Where's Sabrine!? She's taking longer——!”“Where are you looking? Lose focus and you'll lose your head.”Pinned back by Baji, Vincent would lean his head to the side to dodge the gun's barrel. Baji fired only to miss, barely scratching Vincent's neck with it. It was a close call.Vincent would swirl his blade around, attempting to stab Baji by his leg yet he had also been able to avoid it by stepping back.“Tch. For someone your age, you move pretty quickly.”Vincent would click his tongue in frustration, complimenting Baji's agility despite his age.“I've been doing this job since I was young. If I can say so myself, I'm not in my prime anymore.”With those words that gave Vincent a sign of inferiority before him, he couldn't let such a remark slide. However, Vincent was at a disadvantage. Although he kept closing the distance between him to avoid getting shot, Baji's quick thinking and movement were far superior. Vincent was only able to keep up due to his tricks used with the

    “——A win for Kira! That match was already decided since the matchups were announced! How I pity that random contestant!”By afternoon, the tournament would proceed as winners accumulate in the mezzanine. Kira would win her match easily with her power that ended the match in just 30 seconds, walking back to the mezzanine where Magi and Cian had waited. “Well, well, well, looks like we have the obvious runner-ups waiting on their lady.”Trying to walk with glamour, Kira arrived in style. She didn't have her usual uniform, instead, she had a red-military outfit lined with golden threads and chains. It was an appearance that screamed the name of the Red Trackers.“——Hmm. What's wrong?”Although, as she arrived, both Magi and Cian had a grim expressions plastered all over their face. In moments, they would take a corner of the mezzanine to keep their conversation more discreet as people began to arrive.“Violet called just now. The headquarters was attacked.”Magi would silently announ

    After the siege on the headquarters ended, Vincent, Bahamut, and Saeko were left inside to care for Violet's body had been reconnected to the console. Several stab wounds prevented the synthetic skin from regenerating, and the hull of the exoskeleton torso was exposed.“Your body... is it——?”[It's useless now. All you can use it for is scrap metal. You can throw it away.]“——!?”Bahamut had been worried that her physical, yet artificial body would become unusable anymore, yet it would become a reality when Violet herself had said it. “But——?!”[The gasoline container was stabbed through, the temperature regulator had short-circuited, and the pressure fibers had been cut. I cannot use this body anymore, Bahamut. I have no use for it.]Bahamut somehow stubbornly wanted to keep the body. He had grown attached to it, seeing Violet's face on it as he brought it back.“———”He would make a small gasp, looking at Violet who had decisively spoken through the monitor of the console. Despit

    ——In a small private room that had been reserved by the daughter of the mayor, Cian was dragged along as he was requested by her.“Tell me, do you have some secret ability?”“Look, I have nothing to tell you. Your dad might be that one big shot, but I'm not obliged to tell you anything.”Cian casually sat on the luxurious sofa as he held that single pebble he had been holding before, avoiding eye contact with the young woman who tried to inquire him of his abilities.He wasn't quite sure of her intentions, but with the others telling him to be wary of even the mayor, she was someone he couldn't just trust as well.“Come on! Tell me already!”“Ngaah! I told you, I won't! Aren't you being stubborn for no reason?! Why are you even asking me that? Like hell, anyone would just reveal their abilities like that. I'll be leaving.”Annoyed by her nagging, Cian exclaimed as he stood, attempting to exit the room.However, the door would be just locked, unhinged even by his greatest attempt to ya

    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
