…
Mable group had no choice but to seperate as the girls left leaving the men to fend against the brutal and savage mercenary group.
Demi wanted to stay and fight, but she had to compromise under Levi’s firm gaze.
She stamped on the ground with regret and crouched to carry Mable. Then she ran to the thickest part of the forest.
Levi and the other two men were waiting fully prepared, choosing to earn an opportunity for Mable and Demi to escape safely. Unknown to the trip of saviors, a black figure appeared out of no where.
He was fully covered in a huge wierd looking robe and looking apathetically towards the group which is about to face it’s demise.
“Giving your life for another? The people here although not better than Magus World but still hold on to their beliefs, its the same with Lenoir family too, if I didn’t actually knew and saw from this body’s memory for myself that they would support, and battle for their own then, I would be reluctant to go there.” Leylin muttered under his breath.
In the woods.
Bernard and his seven people were flying fast in the woods with cold faces and obscene smiles.
“Shoo, shoo, shoo!”
“Attack!” Levi screamed as the trip immediately threw their knives and activating their traps.
“Ka ka ka!”
Tree branches in the woods exploded, and fell one after another as the knives flew by. The knives let out frightening silver lights and bombarded heavily in the place where Bernard entered.
“Bang bang bang!”
An ancient tree collapsed suddenly after being cut by the knives. Levi’s figure showed up for a moment and disappeared into the woods again quickly.
“Tumu, go ahead with Kinmo. We will take care of this side.” Bernard smiled cunningly with his heavy face, and added, “The superior warriors are all here, while the women have run away. Remember, I need the women alive. If you kill them, you won’t get even one crystal coin!”
“Be at ease, Captain. I promise, I will bring that woman to you clean and beautiful, so that you can make her serve you however as you like.” Tumu laughed loudly, “Kinmo, let’s go first! Haha! That hot chick, haha, I will have her first. You are lucky today, you can taste her after me.”
“Yeah, I can’t wait anymore!” The ugly mercenary with pimples all over his face laughed too as he advanced with Fatoor.
“It’s bad!” Levi was stunned, and was about to send a signal.
He didn’t presume that Bernard was so experienced with this kind of situation. Bernard saw through Levi’s plan at once and sent people to chase Demi pointedly.
“Stay here.” Bernard sneered as he rushed to Levi, “My friend, you wanted to delay us, didn’t you? Now, I won’t leave, so don’t you leave as well. Let’s trade blows and exercise our muscles.”
Leylin who was sitting around leisurely suddenly disappeared from his spot chasing Tumu and his companion, “I guess I would do you a favor and save the girls.”
Leylin followed to kill the pursuers, obviously it wasn’t because he was feeling saintly but because he didn’t want any fish to get out of net. Leylin was not much away from Human Realm and the energy from each of them would be good. He also have other possible uses of those women so, letting them alive is a good by product.
…
As soon as Bernard moved, the other mercenaries separated too, to surround Rayon and Fatoor.
—The silver light on Bernard’s iron hand flew like silk and intertwined together to form a dense, silver light net, which flew to cover Levi.
In the [Ten Times Gravity] field, Levi walked swiftly. He drew many odd arcs in the air with his broadsword to tear the light net in front of him into pieces.
Bernard looked normal and didn’t show the slightest bit of fear. Yet he still kept a distance from Levi and kept intertwining the silver light to form silver light nets one after another, throwing them towards him.
The silver light net was not influenced by the gravitational field. It was still floating in the air, and those which were torn by Levi’s broadsword stuck together again while floating and came around his body.
Seen from afar, Levi seemed to be in the very centre of a broken spider. In the shuttling of his broadsword, those light nets were torn and reconnected again.
At the same time, Bernard still kept a proper distance from Levi and never stopped producing more light nets to envelop Levi, who was surrounded by more and more light nets.
Bernard didn’t let go of him, apparently, he didn’t need to use as much effort, as he smirked to him. “My friend, why do you have to fight with me face to face? We just want the two women. My people have already followed them. Sure enough, the two women must have been taken away by my people. And you can’t escape from my [Silver Net]. The results is very clear. Don’t waste your time.”
“If they have an accident, I swear, I will sweep away your Tush Mercenary Union!” With a twisted face, Levi replied while in the light net, “I will spend the rest of my life chasing you Tush Mercenary Union, till the last of you is killed!”
Bernard was surprised; he took a deep breath and nodded, “It seems like I have to kill you now.”
“Captain! Captain!” There came a surprised cry, “Jork’s dead!”
Bernard became furious, as he shouted, “Don’t be lenient! Kill them as soon as possible! Cut them into pieces and feed them to the demon beasts! Don’t leave their bodies!”
The mercenaries yelled together and began to chase Rayon and Fatoor at the same time.
Bernard was so angry that he operated the [Silver Net] with all his might to cover the whole area around Levi, making a final bid for victory.
Leylin reappeared back on the scene, his hands were in his pocket.
“Now your fate is sealed.” Leylin suddenly looked in the right direction of the group with a smiling expression. He retreated back a few steps and slowly a calm dark electric charge flow through his body.
Suddenly, beams of lightning that were thick as a finger turned into another huge net and fell from the sky upon Levi and group.
This attack shocked Levi and his face turned pale at once. Though, he tried hard to wave his broadsword, he couldn’t cut down the newly arrived lightning net.
There were ten beams of lightning shining in an odd light as they twined like magic snakes.
Frightened, Levi immediately wielded his broadsword and operated all his Profound Qi. Then the broadsword generated a white light which formed into rings that surrounded him.
“Bzz bzz! Bzz bzz!”
Those finger-like lightning beams came towards him. As they bumped into the white rings, sounds of electric explosion came at once.
The speed at which Levi was losing Profound Qi sped up several times compared to before!
Under the fierce lightning, his energy was consumed quickly and his face turned extremely pale.
A sharp sword, filled with the severe atmosphere of slaughter, suddenly appeared above his head and struck on the rings surrounding his body.
“Boom!”
Levi’s body shook intensely and he spit out a mouthful of blood. He staggered and stepped back.
Bernard’s [Silver Net] took advantage of this to wrap Levi tightly so as to restrict his movements.
“Puchi!””Puchi!”
The sharp sword went through Levi’s body, and a Crescent Emissary with a pale mask on his face finally appeared.
Alongside him was Wilde Dunn from the Dunn family, who walked out from behind an ancient tree with lightning circling between his fingers.
“Pooh!” “Pooh!” “Pooh!”
The Crescent Emissary got a brutal look in his eyes, as his sharp sword went in and out of Levi’s body thrice.
The gravitational field faded slowly…
“Uncle Levi!”
Rayon’s eyes turned red and he cried in deep grief.
Arrows flew toward Fatoor one after another. His body became like a hedgehog and he fell on ground and died with regret.
On Rayon’s side, arrows were also flying around him. But they seemed to be not as accurate because instead of killing him, they blocked the people from the Tush Mercenary Union who were chasing him.
Seizing this opportunity, Rayon ran away crazily in the wood with red eyes. “Uncle Levi and Fatoor are dead. Only Miss Mu can avenge them. I must tell Miss Mable…”
Leylin from the sidelines looked at Rayon retreating back, “What an idiot, you can’t even see it’s just a scheme by them to have you lead them to Mable. What’s dangerous isn’t a smart enemy but a dumb friend, no matter I would not let you die in grief and regret.”
“Chase!” The people from the Tush Mercenary Union yelled and began to chase, but only to find arrows falling down from the sky and blocking their way.
They turned rigid and realized someone didn’t want them to chase Rayon, so they searched for that shooter with vicious eyes.
A few people with pale masks appeared in the woods, and there some warriors from the Dunn Family among them; they were all having arrows with them and looked dead serious.
“Why did you help me kill him?” Frowning, Bernard asked Wilde Dunn and the other Star Emissary, “I don’t know you two, do I? What do you want from me for killing him?”
“We were not helping you.” The Star Emissary walked up and glanced him with cold eyes, “Levi was an enemy of the Dark World that we were chasing him all this time. It’s you who helped us.”
Wilde Dunn was standing aside and not in a hurry to come up. He frowned and asked, “Emissary, We both have lost a lot of people in these day and decided to team up together. It seems your target would be captured soon but mine is yet to be detected. Since the strongest is dead among your target, we don’t need to waste time anymore?”
Both the Dark World and Dunn Family met each other in harsh conditions, their small group was thinned further by Leylin relentless attacks and they choose to form a temporary alliance to achieve their goal.
“Hmm.” The Star Emissary nodded, “Don’t worry. I left some Dark Moon Fragrance on Rayon and ordered my people to let him go deliberately to become a guide for us. Later we can follow the trail left by the Dark Moon Fragrance and we can find the people it want, afterwards we can directly go to Silent Town and barricade your target while leaving some men to keep searching here.”
“Good.” Wilde started to smile, “Silent Town is not far from our Merchant Union. After it’s done, would you like to have a cup of tea with the Dunn family and discuss about the details of our cooperation, Emissary?”
“No problem.” The Crescent Emissary nodded.
In the past couple of days, the Crescent Emissary from the Dark World had already hooked up with Wilde, and they had come to a secret agreement.
“Why did you kill this guy?” Bernard waved his hand and soon his mercenaries crowded around him.
“For a teenage girl, and a skinny boy.” Wilde smiled, “I’ve known the Tush Mercenary Union for a long time. Now I know you why you really deserve such a reputation. I’m Wilde Dunn from the Dunn family of the Merchant Union. I wonder if you are interested in doing business with us?”
“What kind of business?” Bernard frowned.
“Of course money-earning kind! Haha! If you are interested, we can discuss the details. You will not regret it.” Wilde laughed.
“Let’s talk about it later.” Bernard paused, and continued, “If there wasn’t an accident, my people must have beaten the people you want. We can’t do it for nothing. You take the teenage girl and we, the Tush Mercenary Union, get that hot woman mercenary, okay?”
Bernard knew they were tough people, and both the Dark World or Dunn family from the Merchant Union have a huge influence.
The Crescent Emissary and Wilde, who were in lead, were both at the Disaster Realm, not any lower than him, and those two had come to an agreement. After calculating, Bernard was sure that he could not compete with their joint power and had to step back.
Wilde didn’t reply, but looked to the Crescent Emissary from the Dark World. Neither were people he cared about so he let the decision to him.
The Crescent Emissary’s eyes flashed and he nodded slowly, “No Problem.”
“Well, let’s get then.” seeing him nodding, Bernard became relieved. He had seen the brutality of those two people and he didn’t dare ask for trouble.
*Boom*
Suddenly an explosion sounded as a scream of agony ranged out.
The Crescent Emissary’s eyes turned red in fury as he shouted, “Fuck! Rayon was killed!”
