Chapter 278 - Do you wanna see a nuke?
"Oh? Alice, Yujin!" Bryan saw Alice and Yujin who have bruises on their bodies.
"Don't worry about us. It's hard to fight six B-ranks with only two of us." Yujin waved his hand as he stood up and grabbed his sword.
"Yeah, they are disrupting our skills so we couldn't land a direct blow at them." Alice agreed to Yujin's words. It was hard for the two of them to fight a whole party without the help of support.
Their subordinates were fighting the low-rank of the opposite side so they couldn't rely on their support. Plus, their opponent was B-rank. A D-rank and C-rank adventurers wouldn't be able to match B-rank. The difference in their skills and experience was high.
"Okay. Then, I'm going to start." Bryan nodded and he turned to the six B-ranks who were looking at him with a wary look.
His mana spread out and it covered his entire body greatly enhancing his overall abilities.
"Just go and we'll adjust according to your movements," Yujin said as he knitted his brows and looked at their opponents.
"I'll take the mage and the archer," Alice said in a cold tone as she focused her attention on the two people behind the group.
She slightly bent her knees and held the spear using both of her hands.
"Good." Bryan grinned widely as he charged towards their opponents.
Boom!
Flames covered his right fist and lightning crackled around his left fist.
Swoosh!
"You will not get past me!!" The shielder quickly moved in front of Bryan. He held his shield tightly in front of him.
"Hahaha, it's fine. Just let me enjoy this battle!!" Bryan laughed before he launched a series of powerful punch on the shield of the tank.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"What a power?!" The shielder gritted his teeth as he felt the power of Bryan's attack through his shield. He was getting pushed back.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a figure flashed at his side. He turned his head to look but Bryan's fist landed on his face.
Bang!
He crashed on the ground causing a small fissure on it.
"Stop her!!"
The two swordsmen shouted and went towards Alice who was dashing towards the mage at incredibly high speed. The two arrived at her side but Yujin shoots a long-range sword slash at them.
"Damn!"
The two swordsmen cursed as they blocked Yujin's attack. They could only watch Alice advanced forward.
The mage turned pale when he saw Alice moving in his direction. He hurried cast barrier spells around him.
[Sonic Thrust]!
The tip of the spear crashed on the barrier and cracks quickly appeared on the barrier.
"You're going down," Alice said in a cold tone before she pulled out her spear and thrust it repeatedly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The rogue dashed towards Alice to help the mage. She knew that her comrades wouldn't be able to handle Alice in a close-range combat.
[Silent Step]!
The rogue appeared behind Alice and she stabbed her dagger aiming at Alice's back.
But Alice already expected it so she easily avoided her attack.
The dagger hit the barrier and it was the final decisive blow so the barrier broke into tiny pieces of particles.
Bang!
"Go down," Alice said as she swept her spear.
Swoosh!
The rogue barely avoided her attack by shifting her body to the side but Alice wasn't done yet. Her feet landed on the side of the rogue causing her to fly away and crashed on the ground.
"Argh!!" The rogue spat a mouthful of blood.
Within this time, the mage tried to create a distance away from Alice.
"You will not get away!" Alice tightened her grip on her spear. She then threw it towards the mage.
[Ground Zero Spike]!!
The mage widened his eyes as the spear pierced his stomach.
Boom!
He was nailed on the ground.
"Times ten!! [Grinding Flame Spear]!!"
A loud voice echoed in the whole area as dozens of flaming spears formed in the sky above the battlefield.
BOOOMM!!!
The huge flaming spears shot down causing a powerful explosion that shook the entire city.
It was so heavy and chilly. The entire area was filled with a tremendous amount of heavy mana.
Smoke and dust were blocking the vision of the people in this place. They could hardly see anything because of it. It placed everyone who was depending on their eyesight at a disadvantage.
"One down," Alice muttered as she pulled out her spear on the body of the mage.
"Let's clean this up." Yujin's voice echoed. It seems that he already finished his opponents.
...
"Sweet..." Souta looked in the direction of the explosion with a smile on his face. "Bryan is not holding back at all."
He was walking leisurely with Lynn at his side. The entire place was like a ghost town as they couldn't see any people in the street. The Adventurers Guild really did a good job at this.
After a few minutes of walking, the two arrived in front of a five-story building. This building was another headquarters of their opponent.
Two people were guarding the gate of the building. From their looks and aura, Souta could guess that they were just a C-rank adventurer.
They were nothing. Even Lynn who was a support could probably defeat them in a one on one battle.
Also, the building was protected by a huge barrier around it just like their building.
Souta observed the building as he called Lumilia. "Hello, Lumilia. I'm here in front of the base in the northeast with Lynn. We're going to increase our contribution by destroying it."
"W-Wait!!" Lumilia was startled when she heard Souta's words.
"Is there a problem with it...?" Souta asked as he looked at the talisman in his hand.
"No, it's just that there is a group of B-rank party heading in that direction," Lumilia replied to him.
"Okay, there's no problem with it." Souta nodded as he cut the connection and placed back the talisman inside his pocket. He then turned to Lynn and said, "You've heard her Lynn. Can you sense them using your ability?"
"I-I'll try." Lynn nodded at him. She closed her eyes and tried to sense everyone around her. The energy of the B-rank was higher than ordinary people so she could easily differentiate if one was a B-rank or not.
After a few moments, Lynn opened her eyes and shook her head.
"I see... They are not in your range so it means that it will take a while before they arrive here, right?" Souta asked as a wide grin formed on his face.
"R-Right. They've noticed us, Souta." Lynn said as she saw the two guards pointing at them.
"Do you wanna see a nuke?" Souta asked her.
"Nuke?" Lynn tilted her head in confusion as she couldn't understand what he meant by nuke.
"Fine, I'll show it to you," Souta said as he looked at the guards.
The number of the people at the gate increases. The two guards must have notified the people inside the building.
"I haven't say anything..." Lynn said in a low voice. Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at the fifth floor of the building. "S-Someone strong is on the fifth floor."
"I see... Thanks for giving this vital information." Souta nodded as he raised his hand.
...
The projection changed to Souta cause it seems that this will become an interesting scene since the leader of the Dark Oculus Legion finally makes his move.
For the people who were watching the projection, this will be the most exciting part for them. The leader of the Dark Oculus Legion was quite famous but only a few people understand his battle style. Some people said that he was a powerful mage, some said that he was a great fighter, while the others said that he was a competent leader who could lead anyone to subjugate a third evolution monster.
"A group of B-rank will arrive in his position so he better retreat while he had a chance." A man commented while watching the projection.
"I wonder about that. When he fought Gregory he only had the power of C-rank but now he's clearly a B-rank fighter. I wanna see him fight someone so that we could have a better understanding of his power." A middle-aged man with blue hair and eyes said.
Everyone was watching his movements. They saw him slowly raised his hand and ten black balls appeared behind him. Then, the crimson tattoo on his shoulder glows brightly.
"What is he doing?"
"Hmm... It's hard to guess. We couldn't feel his energy through the projection after all."
...
Souta grinned and said, "Come down and destroy everything, Yuko!!"
ROAAAARRR!!!
Yuko appeared in the sky with a deafening roar that shook the entire sky.
[Pet Resonance]!!
He activated his skills and transferred a large amount of his mana to Yuko who was falling down towards the five-story building in front of him.
The mana concentrated around Yuko was like a powerful barrier. It was so dense that everyone could see the crimson color mana around her.
"Brace for impact, Lynn."
The ten black balls rotated in the sky and it increased the gravity by several times so Yuko gained a speed greater than he could imagine.
Swoosh!!
"Hahaha, this is great!" Souta laughed.
Yuko flashed towards the five-story building like a rocket. Then...
BOOM!!
