As Reus and Yumiko jumped to air Cockatrice tossed them away to ground through its wings
Hitting them perfectly on right spots, Reus and Yumiko somehow found the right balance to land on ground and Yumiko shouted
"How did he see us!?"
Yumiko was obviously surprised because the left side of Cockatrice's eyes had literally been exploded there was no possible way for it to be able to see them from there
But Reus noticed the problem first and shouted "The Serpent!!! The Cockatrice can see everything from its serpent tail!
Be alert! The next move is coming!!!"
As Reus said that everyone noticed the sharp cold gaze of the serpent at Cockatrice's tails
By next moment the Cockatrice had released itself from Sam's magic and now the one who were closest to him were Sam and Ariana
It immediately moved its head towards them, Reus and Yumiko were just too far away to react now
But Ariana grinned seeing this and the grip over her staff suddenly tightened
As Cockatrice dashed at them Ariana smashed her staff over the head of Cockatrice and shouted
"Not so fast!!!"
Her strike was imbued with the immense light attribute mana and it successfully and effectively managed to stop the Cockatrice from approaching further
And that wasn't all, she even managed to put a serious injury over the beak of Cockatrice's face
That was enough time for Sam to retreat far away and Reus and Yumiko to arrive at the place
"Reus! You handle the head! I will take care of my tail!"
Yumiko immediately suggested to Reus and after that agreement Reus immediately dashed towards its head
Cockatrice was still in a state of confusion and the next moment Reus took advantage of that state
Reus used a small spell to combine his flames with the sword and wind attribute to use as booster to his speed
In a flash Reus successfully landed a critical hit over the beak of Cockatrice and the flaming sword passed through the beak of Cockatrice like a heated knife in butter
"Cooooooccccckkkkkaaaaaattttt!!!"
The Cockatrice was now on its way to go berserk and his serpent tail started smashing everything in that crazy state
Yumiko gritted her teeth because of the increased difficulty and next her sword successfully sliced the serpent tail off from the Cockatrice's body
The Cockatrice in current state was absolutely helpless but even then it was capable of causing huge trouble with its body jumping all around like that
"Don't give it any more time! We will get injured just by its giant body!!!"
But Reus didn't give him any chance and with his commands everyone launched the strong final strikes
Ariana's staff suddenly changed into a gauntlet and her fist smashed at the head of Cockatrice disrupting all the remaining consciousness in his head
Next Sam used his strong earth magic which summoned five giant golems to immobilize the Cockatrice which was going berserk
Next Reus, Anna and Yumiko also dashed at half dead Cockatrice, Anna's bow turned into a twin dagger which helped her to completely destroy the left wing of Cockatrice
And Yumiko sliced off the right wing of Cockatrice and lastly Reus jumped directly besides the neck of Cockatrice
And his flaming sword divided the head and body of Cockatrice in two different parts
Everyone landed back to ground but except for Ariana and Sam other three were covered in blood from all parts
Reus, Yumiko and Anna landed on ground covered in blood and looked just like man eating barbarians
"Why does this always happen!? I tried so hard to not mess up!!!"
"I need a bath..."
"Me too"
Klaus watched it all from a distance, looked a little dissatisfied with their way of actions
"Their balance is a mess, the strategy is fuoked up and let's not even talk about the information they gathered before taking the quest...
Looks like a coach for them isn't just needed, it's a necessity now .."
Klaus sighed and started jumping back to the mansion to make new plans for future
As Klaus arrived back to his mansion through the window of the hallway, he removed his hood first and took out some water to drink
Next moment suddenly he noticed Ashia standing beside him
"There is news from the Whiteblood family"
Klaus seemed interested and asked "What news? Has my brother finally decided to get married?"
"Yes"
Klaus was caught completely off guard here by Ashia's reply and puffed out all water from his mouth and looked at Ashia's direction with a shocked face
Ashia was also quick she used a steel plate to block the water Klaus puffed out from his mouth towards her
The water was splashed back to Klaus's mouth, Ashia just casually took out some cloth and removed all water from Klaus's face as if she was still handling a baby
"Who? How? When?"
Klaus started questioning with a surprise look on his face and Ashia reported
"You have not noticed because the others always keep fawning over you everywhere but the Young Lord Arwin is also a popular man in noble society
He will be marrying the young lady of Duke of Rambarth, he never told anyone but both had been couples from their academy days
The marriage is announced to be next month and there is also a personal letter from the young lord too..."
Klaus had his jaws dropped to the ground and he asked "Why didn't I know this!?"
"Because nobody knew that..."
Klaus just sighed and said "That traitor didn't even tell his lovely little brother, such a cheap brother
Anyways, read the letter..."
Hearing Klaus, Ashia took out the letter and started reading it
"Dear brother, don't be angry for not telling you about this, believe me I just wanted to keep it as a surprise
Mother and sister are already after my life after calling me 'traitor', please don't join their side
And another thing, this is my request okay! Try your best to keep a low profile over my wedding, just do me this one favour as brother okay?"
The letter finished there and Klaus after hearing that suddenly started grinning with evil face and started muttering evilly
"Try to keep a low profile huh... I will show you how low I can be, you traitor of brother! Mother and Sister, I will be sure to show my loyalty unlike a certain son and brother..."
Ashia just ignored that evil phase of Klaus and after a few seconds Klaus returned to his usual mood and said
"Okay! Ashia, send the brother reply I will be doing as he says and send another letter to my mother and find out information about this school, love and romance real life novel...
Only a mother-in-law can have the information that I need!"
"As you say..."
Ashia nodded with interest and a little excited face and left,
Klaus sighed and the next Orion appeared besides Klaus with a straight look on face, Klaus immediately questioned
"What is the situation with the territory?"
Orion took out some reports and started his short report
"According to the reports the evil cult bases have been completely wiped out from all over territory and all directly or indirectly involved people had been taken in custody or wiped out
The territory had been stabilized and all extra troubles had been solved, the population is still on explosive rise
A large number of people are continuously migrating here from the nearby territories, we might face opposition or even clash with few neighbours around us at once
But before that in a week you need to attend the Church too for the declaration of the Leight Genesis territory as holy land
The Rosario city had also risen to positions similar to royal capital, but we are now facing some imbalance with the large territory
The current Brahm Duke Family doesn't have any official vessels, though there are 13 noble families they haven't officially swore loyalty to family nor privately neither officially
The current situation is perfect for your recent and they have also requested for the meeting lord, when shall I schedule this meeting?"
Klaus thought for a few seconds and replied "Schedule the meeting two days after tomorrow... And I will be out for tomorrow, and now report me the situation with the Golden Turtle Organisation..."
Orion nodded and took out another report and started his report
"The preparation for your business plans have finished and Lady Isis is waiting for your instructions to launch the plans into action
The Empire won't have any difficulties to follow your plan, the only person to oppose your plans was Duke of Rambarth who might have wanted to take some shares or impose heavy taxes in his territory
But with the announcement of the marriage we can say that he won't ask for much but the Organisation is having difficulty with the Kingdom of Elves and Beastmen
The rulers of the kingdoms there have asked for a meeting with you to discuss anything related to business
They are basically asking for personal meetings with personal reasons, they are just using the business and excuse here..."
