Chapter 223: Chapter 223
“Anyone else?” the red-haired woman roared, but soon two icicles were shot straight at her chest.
“Tch, these pointless things again”, the red-haired woman swung her maroon-coloured boomerang, directly destroying the two icicles. “Annoying” right after that, the red-haired woman threw her maroon-coloured boomerang at the blue-haired female soldier. “Amy, watch out!” the armoured woman that was about to rush in towards the red-haired woman turned back and threw herself in the maroon-coloured boomerang trajectory. With a clang, the armoured woman’s mana infused sword clashed with the red-haired woman’s maroon-coloured boomerang. The red-haired woman grinned, “What a brave one you are. Unfortunately, bravery is often not enough.”
Then, the red-haired woman waved her hand, manoeuvering the maroon-coloured boomerang away from the armoured woman and towards the blue-haired female soldier. “Damn it! Amy, run away!” the armoured woman tried to chase after the maroon-coloured boomerang. However, the maroon-coloured boomerang proved too fast for the armoured woman to catch up to. As the maroon-coloured boomerang etched closer to the blue-haired female soldier, Eru threw his black sword, changing the trajectory of the maroon-coloured boomerang as it slightly missed the blue-haired female soldier. “Phew, that was close”, the blue-haired female soldier heaved a sigh of relief, “Thanks.”
Eru nodded slightly before rushing back towards the red-haired woman. “Eruken!” Eru flared up his raven-coloured aura, summoning his black sword back into his hand; he delivered a barrage of attacks toward the red-haired woman. The red-haired woman also raised her hand, summoning back her maroon-coloured boomerang and proceeded to engage Eru in close-quarter combat. Soon after, Long joined Eru in engaging the red-haired woman, making the fight two on one. But, it did not just stop there. Meng Huo joined in the fight, and the blue-haired female soldier was pinging projectiles toward the red-haired woman.
The red-haired woman had a huge grin on her face, “Hahaha. This is it, this is the life. More, I want more!” she roared. “Don’t let her throw the boomerang!” Meng Huo barked, “Keep her close.” The armoured woman nodded, “Right”, she said before closing into the red-haired woman after Long hit the red-haired woman on her stomach. “Lightning, ice”, the armoured woman swiped the base of her sword with two of her fingers. After that, the armoured woman swung her mana infused sword at the red-haired woman. The red-haired woman was able to block the armoured woman’s mana infused sword with her hand. “Got you”, the armoured woman smirked.
“Hm?” the red-haired woman’s eyes widened in surprise as her hand started to freeze. Not only that, as the ice started to creep out on her hand, she began to feel paralysis over her whole body. “Argh”, the red-haired woman grunted, “I can’t move, you bitch!” The armoured woman let out a mocking smirk, “Well, that’s the plan. Now, finish it!” she shouted. Right after that, Long smacked the red-haired woman on her chest, followed up by Meng Huo kicking the red-haired woman towards the air. After that, Sydney jumped up high before smacking the red-haired woman down to the ground. “Argh!” the red-haired woman screamed in pain as the blue-haired female soldier cast a double spell of fireball and a wind blade, combining to make a fire blade.
The blue-haired female soldier’s spells hit the red-haired woman clean on her chest, but thanks to the durability of the red-haired woman’s Beast God body, it did not cut the red-haired woman in half. But, all of this gave Eru enough time to gather up his raven-coloured aura and Fate Energy for one last attack. Eru’s appearance changed, turning into his golden, raven, draconic transformation. “This is the end. Die!” Eru roared before swinging his black sword. A huge raven-coloured horizontal energy blade mixed with a golden hue came out from Eru’s black sword, encroaching fast at the red-haired woman.
“This is it, huh?” the red-haired woman muttered softly as she watched the huge raven-coloured energy blade mixed with a golden hue encroaching towards her. “I’m sorry, Madam Da Ji, my journey ends here”, the red-haired woman closed her eyes, accepting her incoming doom. However, suddenly, the red-haired woman heard a woman’s voice inside of her head, “Don’t worry, my child. This is not where you die.” Right after that, Eru’s huge energy blade hit something before exploding, directly destroying half of the training room. “Hah, hah, hah. Did we get her?” Eru asked while panting hard with exhaustion. “No, you did not get her”, a different woman’s voice resounded behind the smoke generated from Eru’s energy blade.
“Who’s there?” Long furrowed his eyebrows. “You all will eventually know who I am. For now, I will take my child with me. Don’t do anything beyond your capabilities, or I will destroy you all”, the woman’s voice threatened as she emitted pressure way stronger than the red-haired woman. “What the—” Eru planted his feet on the ground, flaring his raven-coloured aura to maximum just to barely resist the pressure. Long and Meng Huo were like Eru, trying hard to resist the mysterious woman’s pressure while the three ladies were already slumped on the ground.
“We will withdraw for now”, the mysterious voice resounded once again, “Oh, and the base will self destruct once we leave. Better hurry up.” After saying that, the smoke from Eru’s energy blade dissipated, revealing nothing but empty space behind it. The pressure emitted from the mysterious woman was gone at the same time the smoke dissipated, “They’re gone”, Eru heaved a sigh, “What the in the hell was that?” Eru uttered before looking straight at Meng Huo. Meng Huo shook his head, “I don’t know. It must be a higher-up from the Demonic Cult”, he said with a sombre tone. The blue-haired female soldier lowered her head, “If so, then this is really bad. The Demonic Cult has begun to move. We need to report it to the government as soon as possible.”
The armoured woman nodded, “I agree. However, considering the condition of the government within Sylphid City at the moment, I don’t think informing the government now is the best thing to do.” Sydney looked at the armoured woman, “What should we do, then?” The armoured woman rubbed her chin, “We should report to Principal Helga. She will know what to do.” Long furrowed his eyebrows, “Are we done? We should hurry up and get out of here. That mysterious woman said it herself that this base is going to explode at any moment.” The blue-haired female soldier was about to rebuke Long, but suddenly, the party heard a robotic voice reverberating around them. “Warning, warning. All personnel, please leave the base. Self destruct mode had activated. Five minutes until the base destruction. Once again, all personnel, please leave the base immediately”, warned the robotic voice.
“We need to leave right away”, Eru said. “Right. Any of you know a shortcut?” the armoured woman asked. “Follow me”, Meng Huo ran outside the training hall. As the rest of the party followed Meng Huo, the latter had already reached the huge cage outside. “This is—” Sydney squinted her eyes. “It’s where I was imprisoned for so long. If we directly flew up, we should reach the previous floor quickly”, Meng Huo stated. “Fly up? How do we—” the armoured woman’s eyes widened in realization, “I see. Using you, Long and Eru’s special transformation, we all could fly up into the upper floor”, the armoured woman said. “What are we waiting for, then? Come on, we have no time to waste”, the blue-haired female soldier urged.
Then, Long turned on his transformation as a red protective membrane spread all over him. He spread his red-coloured wings wide before looking at Sydney, the armoured woman and the blue-haired female soldier, “So, who wants to go with me?” Long asked with a sarcastic smile while spreading his arms wide. “You’ll go ahead, Amy”, the armoured woman pushed the blue-haired female soldier onto Long’s embrace. “Right, we’ll go first”, Long said. Right after that, Long flapped his red-coloured wings, flying instantly upwards. “W-wait, I’m not ready, yeeeeeee—” the blue-haired female soldier screamed. “Right, who’s next?” Sydney asked. “Young master Eru, please go on ahead”, Meng Huo offered.
Eru shook his head, “Nah, you go first. Bring Sydney and Syndra along with you”, Eru said. “But, young master—” Meng Huo was suddenly interrupted by Eru. “You go ahead first”, Eru said, squinting his eyes; Eru stared at Meng Huo with a serious expression. “B-but teacher, why would you do this?” Sydney asked. “You go ahead with Meng Huo and Syndra first. I’ll catch up to you soon, I promise”, Eru winked. The armoured woman looked at Eru before nodding, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Sydney stomped her foot, “Then, then, I’ll stay with you, teacher”, Sydney said. Eru looked at Sydney with a gentle smile before his gaze turned to Meng Huo.
Upon seeing Eru’s gaze, Meng Huo nodded before grabbing both Sydney and the armoured woman. “I’ll wait for you on the surface, young master”, Meng Huo said before flying away. After that, Eru turned his attention toward the room beyond the training hall, “Now, shall we go inside, Buddy?” Eru raised his hand, summoning back his black sword.
