Science/Magic

The blade of the knife pierced the black-dressed man's heart. It was impossible for him to survive this kind of attack.

"You…" The black-dressed man coughed a mouthful of blood.

Sara just looked at him indifferently and swung the knife aside, slicing his body apart!

The bloody scene was noticed by every person on the walls. Instantly, the black-dressed men paled.

"Someone, stop her!" The leader bellowed. But neither Bloed nor the city lord was going to allow it.

"Stop them!"

The city lord and his men attacked crazily as though their lives depended on it. At the same time, Bloed and Liu Ying engaged their enemy ferociously to stop him from stopping Sara.

Sara knew the situation was critical. As soon as she killed the black-dressed man, she rushed towards her sister's location.

"Sara, take Erika away!" Shouted the city lord.

Sara grunted. Although she did not want to save her, now was not the time to garner the city lord's suspicion.

In seconds, she grabbed the two girls with her and jumped down the city walls.

Bloed's expression brightened. "Great. Girls, it's time to leave!"

Liu Ying and Regina nodded. Regina punched her enemy on the belly and threw him against a wall while Bloed shot several bullets to his opponent to give Liu Ying time to run.

But–

"Where do you think you are going!?" The A-Rank fighting him roared. Then, he used his arms to protect his vital parts and rushed through the rain of energy bullets.

Bloed's expression changed. He hurriedly jumped aside and evaded the bulldozing A-Rank. Then, he used his mind to give an order to Leto.

Leto instantly turned into a wolf, although it was noticeably smaller than at the start. Bloed jumped on the wolf without hesitation and gave it the order to leave.

At the same time, the two girls jumped after him.

"Do you think you can escape!?" The A-Rank man shouted. But suddenly, he saw a small ball floating in front of his eyes.

And–

*Flash!*

The bright light and deafening sound of the stun grenade paralyzed him.

"Arrrrghhhhh!!!" The man screamed and covered his eyes. Bloed took advantage of that opportunity to slash with his saber!

But unexpectedly, the man avoided the attack while staggering!

Furthermore, he unleashed a counterattack one second later!

Bloed's eyes opened wide. The A-Rank's sharp instincts astonished him.

He instantly knew that killing him today would be impossible. Without hesitation, he jumped back onto Leto.

"Leave!"

But how could it be so easy to leave?

When Bloed was about to reach Leto, a shadow appeared behind him!

"Die, brat!"

A black-dressed man had attacked him! It was the one-armed black dressed man of back then!

Bloed grunted. In fact, he had perceived the one-armed man's presence long ago. However, he did not think he would attack now.

Despite it, though, Bloed did not panic.

Twisting his body, he evaded the punch coming towards him. At the same time, he raised his gun and pointed to the man's chest.

But the man leaned his body aside, evading the bullets. Then, he unleashed a kick towards Bloed's legs.

Bloed narrowed his eyes. With a twist of his wrist, his saber appeared on the kick's way. The one-armed man suddenly realized that if he continued his attack, he would lose his leg!

Clicking his tongue, he stepped back, only to notice Liu Ying's punch coming for him!

The man leaned his body aside and counterattacked with a kick. Liu Ying received the kick with another kick and staggered two steps back. But the black-dressed man took three steps back.

And during this time, Bloed aimed his gun again. This time towards the new enemy's face!

Two bullets were shot.

*Bam bam!*

But the bullets did not hit! A hand suddenly appeared in the way, blocking the bullets!

Yes, the A-Rank black-dressed had recovered from the stun grenade's effects.

"Dammit!" Bloed cursed. He thought the effects of the stun grenade would last longer.

As expected, it could not be so easy.

He looked back to see if Regina planned to help him, but she was only looking indifferently without any intention to help. It was obvious she was not going to intervene.

But help came from an unexpected place.

When Bloed thought his only option was to resort to his trump card, a knife stabbed towards the A-Rank's back.

"!!!" The A-Rank's face changed. The sudden feeling of danger was even greater than when Bloed's saber was about to cut his arm.

He forced himself to twist his body aside, but even after that, the knife stabbed his rib!

Behind him, Sara's ice-cold eyes gleamed with killing intent.

"Damn girl!" The A-Rank bellowed he threw a fist. Sara was unable to avoid the attack and was hit on the chest!

"Ugh!"

After crashing against a wall, Sara vomited a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.

But her strike changed the situation completely.

His dagger had cut three ribs of the A-Rank and injured his lungs gravely. Moreover, although she failed to pierce his heart, the dagger was poisoned!

The black-dressed man felt the poison and paled. He hurriedly moved his mana to stop the poison from spreading.

But Bloed finally had an opportunity.

"Regina, help Sara!" Trusting that the Valkyrie would follow his orders, Bloed and Liu Ying charged against the two black-dressed men!

Bloed pressed the trigger of his gun repeatedly. At the same time, his saber cut towards the A-Rank's head.

This time, the A-Rank was unable to react as quickly as before. Although he avoided Bloed's saber, most of the bullets hit him!

Meanwhile, Liu Ying clashed against the one-armed B-Rank.

Bloed gritted his teeth. It was now or never!

Leto once more turned into metallic sand. Its body turned into chains that tried to trap the A-Rank.

The A-Rank bellowed. Mana surged out of his body and crushed the chains. But the chains reformed instantly into a metallic wave that surged towards him.

"Not enough!" With a cry, the man's punch blew away half of Leto's body.

But when Leto's body disappeared, Bloed appeared in front of him, thrusting his saber towards his chest.

At this distance and with the A-Rank injuries, this attack was impossible to avoid!

It was the true intent behind Leto turning into a wave!

The feeling of death coming closer stimulated all the potential in the A-Rank's body. In an instant, the pressure coming from his body multiplied greatly.

"Dream on!"

With a cry of outrage, the A-Rank gathered all his mana into his right hand. Then, he punched towards Bloed's saber.

And–

*Boom!*

Bloed's saber was stopped!
