Chapter 96: Chapter 96 - Ambush

BOOM

An explosion erupted in the far right corner of the field, reverberating through the air with a thunderous roar, loud enough for everyone in the assassination group to hear.

As the sound reached their ears, their bodies reacted instinctively, becoming more defensive as they turned toward the source of the blast.

Everyone's gaze was drawn to the explosion, then shifted upwards, witnessing a grotesque rain of blood, body parts, organs, and armor pieces falling upon them. These were the remnants of those unfortunate enough to have been caught in the trap.

Quickly, they shielded their faces from the scorching blood and dismembered limbs. Almost everyone did—except for Alexforge Nile. When the body parts were about to fall on him, he too nearly closed his eyes and let his guard down.

Observing his team members doing the same, he realized they were about to be ambushed. He screamed at the top of his lungs, desperately trying to warn his comrades.
