The death of their subordinate drove a wedge of horror through their expressions, and it was just so satisfying to watch.
anwhile, Maggie turned and looked at Cressida, who still stood almost lifelessly. It was insane. The mbers of the elite team of the Manhattan Trade Center had been fighting the Black Snow, and they were without a single scar or wound, not even a scratch. The gap between these people and the Black Snow wasn’t just wide, it was a chasm.
’And they took the job? And still Levi didn’t co along, and then that guy was giving so nonsensical speech about trusting us?’
I was infuriated at their carefreeness as a group, and what really bothered was how exactly this would have gone if I was not here. Why exactly had Levi not co with them?
Although, I saw Nisha defeating these people, but at the sa ti, even she had fallen prey to ntal assault, and here we were.
All of the Black Snow Company center teams were down. Every single one of them, except for .
’God, god, I had such high hopes for them. Now I can’t help but be so disappointed.’
I cast all of them a pitiful gaze before walking to Cressida and holding her by the waist.
She saw as I ca to her front, then she grinned.
"Cade. You made it."
’Still grinning in this position?’
"Yes, I did." I carried her gently. "You can rest now."
After setting her down beside a rock outcropping, she looked at with a bloodied face. Still smiling. She looked fulfilled, like a weight had been lifted from her the mont I showed up.
"Levi... say... strong... trust. We... wanted... see..."
I stopped and stared blankly at her fragnted words. I didn’t need knowledge to puzzle them together.
’Levi said I was strong, so they can trust . And then they wanted to see?’
Was that why they allowed themselves to get beaten? It didn’t make sense thinking about it. Were they psychos? Why would they throw their lives on the line because they wanted to see how strong I was?
But I dismissed the thought and just focused on the present, then said back to her, "Well, yea. Whatever he said. I’ll be right back."
I moved across the battlefield like I was walking across my parlor.
I moved Odelia next. She had the sa look on her face. Relief.
It was the sa thing with Ophelia. She smiled as I set her down and muttered, "Finally."
It was clear that they had been expecting to co to them for so reason, but the perverted Chaleon had taken so much of my ti.
I wondered about it as I moved away from Ophelia to stand in my initial position where the crater was.
’Now I can’t help but think... is it that the Manhattan Elite were stronger, or these guys decided they were not going to attack them and instead were going to wait for ?’
That was the idea their relief was giving . That they had not fought and were simply taking the attacks while waiting for to co and deal the damage.
I faced the remaining two Manhattan Elites. The arrogant wolf-kin was standing now, but the cockiness was gone. Caution sat heavy in his eyes and in every line of his posture. His summon faced too, gnashing.
The lady was still on the ground, broken in horror by the death of her companion.
She slowly stood up, her face worn and torn and splattered with blood that wasn’t her own. But there was a very stubborn fire igniting in the depth of her eyes.
It only made grin internally because...
’The more the rrier.’
Maggie would make all her brewing anger and desire for vengeance so worthless that after making that face, she would shalessly beg for rcy. I was very certain that was what was going to happen.
Maggie ca closer to , her chain dragging on the ground.
"How about I take care of the two of them. Hold the last one until I’m done, and I will co finish off him and the guardian."
I nodded with a serious gaze. "That sounds like a plan then."
Trying to ask if she was going to be okay taking care of not two, but four opponents was sowhat foolish of , because Maggie was as dangerous as Kassie... actually, almost.
"This is going to take a while, I intend to play with them a little." She looked at and scoffed. "You’ve grown, haven’t you? So maybe you can take care of both before I get there."
I tilted my head slightly as I walked away from her.
There was sothing strange. I couldn’t figure out if Maggie was being serious or sarcastic, and this was all due to the cold, dead face she had regardless of the kind of expression she was making.
’I wonder if costics will make things better.’
But I didn’t think it would be easy presenting this suggestion to Maggie.
"One day, no doubt, one day," I muttered as I walked away casually.
"You’d be insane to think I will let you interrupt Kohen!!"
The lady’s millipede flew toward , its body elongated, its vicious maw with literal legs churning inside them widening to swallow whole. However, everything seed slow. I leaped and landed on the head of the millipede, using the surface of the mouth as a stepping stone.
The step was brief. Flas exploded from my legs and propelled into the air, and I sailed over the pit in a single arc, all thanks to the girl and her millipede.
Below , the young man Kohen was still battling the guardian of the gate.
Then I landed in the midst of their fray. Waves of [Emperor’s Presence] rolled out, and everything around quivered.
The ground shook. The strange darkness clinging to the walls peeled away like it had been burned, retreating desperately into the corners, fleeing from my aura.
"Ah, how satisfying." I gave a cool smile as I straightened amidst the rubble my entrance had caused.
