Chapter 99 - Hero Faction

|3rd POV|

When Kunou is safe and sound, Yasaka's personal guard begins to attack Cao Cao and his companion. However, before they could reach Cao Cao and his companion, Leonardo, the Annihilation Maker owner, places his hand on the ground, and suddenly more than a dozen golem-like constructs appear from the ground and attack the Karasu Tengu squad.

With all the Karasu Tengu being taken care of, Cao Cao and his companion charge toward Yasaka. Yasaka, who looks at the Hero Faction, takes a deep breath and releases a blue fire toward Cao Cao and his companion are standing.

Cao Cao jumps away from the fire and looks at Yasaka, and clicks his tongue. While he knew that they could defeat the Queen of Youkai, Cao Cao did not want to use all his power here. However, if it were something he needed to do, he would do it.

Isaac, who watched the fight from above, frowned a little before saying.

"Lucina, sorry for this, but it looks like I will get into something troublesome again."

Lucina shakes her head fondly and says.

"I know, dear. It is your nature to help the people in need. However, I will accompany you. You cannot say no."

"Heh. I will not."

Isaac looks at Yuka in her small form and says.

"Yuka, you stay here with Silver Talon. Protect Kunou for me."

"Roger~."

He then pats Kunou in the head and gives her a reassuring smile.

"Kunou, you stay here, okay? I will try to save your mother."

"En. Be careful, and please save my mother."

"I will. I already give you my word after all."

Isaac patted her head once again and jumped down from the Silver Talon. Isaac cast a spell when he was about to land to make him land slowly. When he stood on the ground, Isaac activated his Star Rune.

Cao Cao looks to the sky as he feels a surge of mana in the sky and sees a laser of doom coming from the sky. He takes a stance and begins to slice all the incoming laser. Cao Cao's eyes widen after blocking all the laser when he sees a meteor coming toward him.

Cao Cao takes a deep breath and thrust the True Longinus upward toward the meteor. A second later, a beam of light hit the meteor right in the middle of it.

The beam of light begins to drill right through the meteor. Seeing his attack successfully drill through the meteor, Cao Cao swung his spear and cut the meteor into multiple pieces. Before he could take a break for a second, Isaac appeared in front of him with his spear in hand.

Isaac swung down his spear, but before it could hit Cao Cao, it was blocked. Isaac frowns a little before activating the lightning rune on his spear and zapping Cao Cao with a thunderbolt. As Cao Cao was thrown away by the thunderbolt, Isaac landed on the ground, but before he could continue attacking Cao Cao, a sharp-looking sword appeared beneath him.

Isaac successfully dodges the sword, but as he jumps high in the air, Heracles punches him right in his rib. He gets thrown away by the punch, but Yasaka catches him with her tail before he could hit the ground.

Her guard and Isaac get her enough time to transform into her true form. Now with Yasaka in her true form, she can go all out.

However, before she could attack them with all her might, Cao Cao looks at Georg and says,

"Georg, now!"

"Understood."

As he says that, Georg activates his sacred gear, Dimension Lost, and suddenly the world around them begins to change. The colorful world around them changes into a gray purplish world devoid of other colors.

After Georg activated the Dimension Create, the only ones that stay inside the pocket dimension other than the Hero Faction are Yasaka, Isaac, and Lucina. Isaac looks at Yasaka, who begins to shrink slowly before she becomes her humanoid form.

"What? I cannot feel my connection to Kyoto leyline!"

Cao Cao smirks a little when he hears what Yasaka says.

"What do you think? This place is another world. Your connection to the Kyoto leyline has been cut out because you are not in Kyoto but rather in the entirely new world."

Yasaka glares at Cao Cao, but she takes a deep breath and releases it. While she cannot access her full power, she knows that her daughter is safe. Yasaka looks at Isaac and Lucina, who she knows are the rescuers of her daughter, and knows that they will help her fight the humans in front of her.

"I'm not yet saying my thanks for rescuing my daughter from them, and it hurts my pride as the Queen of Youkai to say this, but will you lend your strength?"

Lucina and Isaac smile at Yasaka and nod their head.

"Of course. The name is Isaac Lionheart."

"Lucina Lionheart."

"We will lend our strength to you, Lady Yasaka."

Yasaka nods her head and looks at the incoming enemy.

"Thank you."

Yasaka summons a dozen blue fires out of thin air and throws them toward the incoming enemy after saying that. Issac, on the other hand, activates his Pale Gate Rune and summons his creature. The Golden Crow, Earth Golem, Water Horse, Angel of Light, Angel of Darkness, and ten Gate Guardian.

When the creature Isaac summons looks at the enemy, they begin to attack them immediately. One creature for one Hero Faction member. Golden Crow attacking Jeanne, Earth Golem attacking Heracles, Water Horse attacking Georg, Angel of Light attacking Connla, Angel of Darkness attacking Perseus, and the ten Gate Guardian attacking the Anti-monster Leonardo summon.

Yasaka and Lucina attack Siegfried leaving Isaac facing Cao Cao alone.

Isaac dodges a beam of light coming from the True Longinus and activates his Star Rune to summon another light beam toward Cao Cao. When Isaac sees Cao Cao choose to block the incoming attack, he summons another meteor after the Twinkling Star spell is over.

However, unlike before, Isaac activates the Fire and Wind rune on his spear and thrusts his spear toward Cao Cao, who is busy defending against the meteor above him. While busy taking care of the attack from above, Cao Cao danger senses screaming at him to dodge, and he obeys it. With a burst of mana, he jumps away from his current position and sees a massive fire torrent fly past him.

Cao Cao's eyes land on Isaac and charge toward him at high speed. In a second, Cao Cao arrives in front of Isaac. He thrust his spear and tried to stab Isaac with his spear, but before it could reach Isaac's heart, Isaac blocked his spear attack.

After blocking the attack, Isaac does his own counterattack.

Both Cao Cao and Isaac begin their close combat fight for a minute before Cao Cao kicks Isaac in the stomach and throws Isaac away, not too far away from him.

"Your spear technique is not bad, but your physical strength is lacking. Your speed cannot be compared to mine."

Isaac frowns when he hears what Cao Cao is saying. He knows that he cannot beat Cao Cao in a close combat fight as he knows Cao Cao has an advantage in speed and technique. In the past months, Isaac is too focused on sharpening his magical prowess and not his physical prowess.

"Come with me! I will give you all you want! Power! Riches! Hell, even a woman!"

When Cao Cao saw Isaac's expression, he thought that he hit the jackpot, but he did not know that Isaac saw him as a joke.

"We will rule the world as we should be! Humanity will become strong under my rule! Under my leadership, Humanity will step into a golden age! We will rule over the supernatural! We will enslave them like they are enslaving us. We will kill everyone who opposes us! We will destroy their home, their wife, and their child for daring to oppose us! So come! Join me!"

The more Isaac hears what Cao Cao is saying, the more he becomes sick. When he hears Cao Cao saying killing the child and the innocent when Cao Cao thinks they are opposing him, he makes Isaac even sicker and makes him angry.

Isaac thought that he could talk some sense into Cao Cao, but it looked like he couldn't convince a megalomaniac. You cannot convince a madman who only thinks about himself. With his mind already set in stone, Isaac raises his right hand and activates his Darkness Rune.

"Finger of Death"

As the purple pillar appears, Cao Cao begins to scream in pain. He felt his body being burned from the inside out. However, his body did not get damaged. After a few seconds of physical agony, something is coming out of his body.

It was Cao Cao soul.

Cao Cao screams in pain, fear and despair as he knows that if the purple pillar disappears, his soul will also disappear. True to his thinking, as the pillar slowly disappears, so is his soul.

The only thing left of Cao Cao is his corpse lying on the ground.
