Sorry, no chapter yesterday, but three chapters today, so...
...
*BOOOM!!!*
The giant sword wave appeared suddenly, crashing against the city walls and cutting it into two!
The powerful attack stunned all the people present. In an instant, several people were killed.
Only three people managed to react. The city lord, the leader of the black-dressed men, and Regina.
"AHHHHH!" The city lord bellowed and put all his mana into defense. Like that, he barely managed to avoid being killed.
The leader's situation was not much better, but he seemed to have managed to escape the radius of the attack in the last second, so his injuries were less severe.
In the end, it was only Bloed's group that remained unscathed thanks to Regina's quick reaction.
At that moment, a powerful demigod-level pressure crashed against the walls. Bloed managed to see the black-dressed demigod getting ready for a second attack, but at that time, someone intervened.
"Returning Dusk Scum! Where do you think you are going!?"
"Dammit! Are you crazy!? If we fight here we will destroy half of the city!"
But the angry Sebastian seemed as though he did not care about the consequences. He raised his sword and attacked the black-dressed demigod with a devastating attack, forcing him to move aside and evade.
Fortunately, Sebastian still seemed to have a bit of reasoning left, because he dissipated the sword attack before it caused destruction on the city.
The demigods clashed again. Just the shockwaves of their clash destroyed some buildings, and the mana in the surroundings became unstable.
Their battle was like a natural disaster devastating the city!
Bloed could not help but show admiration towards this level of strength. This was at the level where they could destroy cities singlehandedly.
It was the S-Rank, demigods!
At that moment, the black-dressed demigod shouted something.
"One, take the creature and leave! Forget about the girls for now! I will explain to the master!"
The Leader of the black-dressed men moved as soon as he heard these words. Even although he probably could kill the city lord if he continued fighting for another five minutes, he abandoned the fight without hesitation and rushed towards the cage holding the creature.
Unfortunately for him, the city lord was not planning to let him escape.
"Where do you think you are going!?"
The sword of the city lord cut through the air, advancing towards the black-dressed man full of killing intent.
"Tsk!" The black-dressed man clicked his tongue. He jumped aside and counterattacked with an attack of his own. In a few seconds, he managed to disengage the city lord again.
That process repeated a few times until the black-dressed man reached the cage.
The city lord's eyes reddened. Facing the man suspected of killing his son and kidnapping his daughter, and watching how he escaped while he was powerless to stop him, how could he remain calm?
Suddenly, he saw Bloed and the others from the corner of his eyes.
Although he was slightly surprised that they managed to escape the demigod's attack unscathed, the city lord was not in a situation where he could think about that.
Instead, he communicated his intentions with a yell.
"Bloed, miss Regina, miss Liu Ying! help me to stop him!"
Bloed frowned. Help? Now?
Even without mentioning that the city lord was an enemy and he did not have any reason to help him, just the fact that Sebastian was nearby meant that Bloed wanted to attract as little attention as possible.
And Regina and Liu Ying thought the same.
"Let's go!" Bloed said and jumped onto Leto, ignoring the city lord. Regina and Liu Ying followed behind him.
The city lord's expression turned ugly. "Damn it!"
However, he did not give up and instead continued pursuing the enemy leader.
"Stop there!"
The leader ignored him. When he arrived in front of the cage, he grabbed it and jumped down the city walls.
But at that moment, a terrifying feeling of danger attacked him.
Looking around, he saw a worm-like creature burrowing out of the city walls and jumping towards him!
It was the A-Rank worm monster that Bloed had met before!
It had appeared so suddenly that when the leader noticed it, it was already less than one meter away of him, with its mouth opened to devour him.
The leader of the black-dressed men reacted instantly. Without thinking, he took out the control stone and injected mana into it.
But then… Nothing happened.
No bloodcurdling cry of pain, no trashing around, and no black blood erupting from its skin.
Instead, the serrate teeth of the monster pierced the waist of the leader and tore his body into two.
Even in his death, the black-dressed man did not understand what happened.
But when his eyes met the creature in the cage, he thought he saw a smirk-like expression mocking his idiocy.
The worm broke the cage, and the tentacled creature waked out. It then extended its tentacles and pierced the remaining body of the black-dressed man before tearing it into pieces in rage.
Once it was done with its revenge, it grabbed the stone the leader used to control the monsters and destroyed it.
Finally, it opened its mouth and let out a loud cry of hunger.
*Screeeeeeeech!*
As though waiting for its signal, hundreds of monsters appeared instantly.
These monsters had been waiting just outside the range of the stone for the moment when their leader was free.
Even more frighteningly was the fact that at least ten of these monsters were A-Rank, moreover, they had not shown their capabilities until now.
In a choir, the monsters roared and screeched to the sky.
When the mysterious demigod heard that, his expression changed.
"Oh, damn…"
At the same time, Bloed and the others, who managed to see everything, felt a terrifying chill in their spines.
The mass-like black creature was finally free.
