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
"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
Chapter 157 "Just where the heck are they all coming from?!"Amidst their travel towards the red light, Michael and his mercenary companions encountered yet another group of Brainless.They've been seeing almost countless numbers of Brainless inside the city, and if they were to be released and known to the public, his image was good as gone. 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
"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
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
