"Who beat him like this? Who?!"
Isabelle's anger shook their hearts. They never thought that Isabelle would have this kind of reaction. Eva, Eve, and Nicholas actually remembered that Isabelle left a spot empty for a quite long time. They had once asked why she would leave the seat empty, but Isabelle only said she had someone in mind.
When Tommy finally appeared, they thought Tommy was the one in her mind. They never asked the question again and just accepted it.
It was at this moment, they finally realized that wasn't the case. The person who was in her mind this whole time turned out to be Evan. They never saw it coming because Isabelle always acted coldly toward Evan and that was also one of the reasons why they were this shocked.
Nonetheless, the enemies didn't even glance at Isabelle and Evan. They only observed the hundred people that were lying on the ground and clicked his tongue.
"Boss, this is the result of you trusting that power too much! We should have fought them before this happens." One of the six people said to the bear guy.
"Haha… I will take that girl! She seems to love that boy, so I will make her the same as that guy." The tiger guy laughed out loud.
The bear guy gritted his teeth as he knew he needed to explain it to the professor after this. However, he had a big miscalculation in his plan.
Glancing over a woman on the corner of the enemy group, he clenched his hands. "Ria Ross!"
If Ria Ross was here, there was no way they would be able to win. He thought about escaping, but Michelle was already one step ahead.
"Professor, you get the leader. Sofia and Julia will get one. I and Tasha will get one. Ayaka will cooperate with Tommy while the twins will be with Nicholas." Michelle paused for a moment and looked at Isabelle. "You have that guy alone."
Isabelle clenched her hands and glared at the tiger guy.
"Remember, as soon as you have killed your opponent, go help the others. Will this plan be alright, Professor?"
"Sure. I should also be able to help you in the middle of the fight." Ria nodded.
Isabelle immediately summoned four green balls above her head.
"God of Wind, Aeolus."
"You bastard!" The tiger guy was the first one to make a move, followed by the others that were coming toward them.
She looked at the tiger guy who was charging at her and aimed her sniper rifle.
"Boom!" She didn't bring her suppressor here, so the sound echoed across the park.
The guy simply dodged to the side and kept charging.
The four green balls above her head shone and shot out one crescent blade each toward the tiger guy.
"Hmph, do you think this is enough to stop me?" The guy only snorted and brushed the four wind blades away before throwing his punch toward Isabelle.
Isabelle didn't have a change of expression in facing this fist. She simply shifted her body to the side, tapped the forearm once to destroy his balance, and launched him to the sky with her strength and wind.
"Shoot him down!" Isabelle pointed her finger at the guy, and the four balls released another attack.
The guy immediately raised his two hands and blocked these attacks. However, there was a difference between the first attack and the second attack, and he immediately realized it.
'What is this? Did they produce smoke earlier?' The guy asked himself before he widened his eyes and shifted his body.
There was a sudden movement in the smoke as a bullet suddenly emerged from within and flew toward him. Luckily, he managed to dodge it, albeit not unscathed. He jumped backward as he glared at Isabelle before glancing at his right hand that lost three fingers because of that attack.
"How the heck could that woman shoot a sniper rifle this close? Did she never need a scope to shoot?"
"Do you think I am just a mere sniper? I have figured out my weakness after losing to that man and enhanced my close combat ability." Isabelle snorted and looked down on him. "I will make you regret doing that to Evan."
"You are not capable." The guy gritted his teeth and charged again.
Isabelle shot again, utilizing the same strategy. However, the moment he almost punched her, he suddenly disappeared from her eyes.
"This is why you are still a baby born chick!" The guy's voice resounded from behind her as he threw another punch.
"Boom!" The thunderous sound of a gunshot echoed again before the guy suddenly fell down and screamed in pain. "Argh!"
The man retreated again as he placed his left hand on his right arm, noticing it was gone. The bleeding also colored the ground red, and it continued flowing down, creating a small pool of blood.
He looked up and saw Isabelle's second weapon in her other hand.
Isabelle took a deep breath and glared at the guy. 'I have used my wind magic to stabilize my stance, but it seems I still need more practice. It's already taxing to switch from weapon to hand-to-hand combat continuously in the battle. I targeted his shoulder but got him at his elbow. What a blunder…'
Isabelle didn't wait for the guy to rise again and charged at him. She released another shot and four crescent blades as cover fire to get close to the guy.
The tiger could only run away and tried to buy time to stabilize his breathing.
Isabelle paid no heed and kept advancing, trying to vent up her anger as much as possible.
"Wait, Isabelle. Don't go too far." Michelle shouted albeit she was too late.
The guy already turned around and struck back. He blew Isabelle's weapons into the air.
"I will make you regret injuring me!" The guy roared as he punched Isabelle.
"You think you are qualified?" Isabelle only snorted as the gunshot resounded once again.
The guy suddenly realized he lost his balance and looked down, watching how his feet were getting separated from his legs. He then looked up and saw the two sniper rifles hovering in the air, aiming at his two feet.
Isabelle clenched her fists and punched the guy in the face as hard as possible. If it was her strength alone, it shouldn't be enough. But Isabelle already used her Wind Magic, so she was able to blow a few teeth away along with the whole body.
She glanced at her weapons and caught them before rushing toward the guy again. The guy wanted to stand up, but Isabelle already arrived in front of him and shot him on the knee.
"Argh!"
Isabelle looked down with killing intent. "I have said earlier. I will make you regret your choice. Firstly, I will shatter your finger one by one, your arms, your legs. You will have the worst experience before dying!"
"Argh!"
A series of gunshots followed by screams echoed inside the park for a few minutes until the guy died due to excessive blood loss.
On the other side, Ria slashed the bear guy's hands and legs before pointing her sword at his neck. "Who is the one behind you? You won't get the Zodiac Blood unless the person behind you is powerful enough."
"Hmph! You won't get anything from me!" The guy spat his blood toward her, only to be blocked by her sword.
"You are very lucky that we are nowhere near my house. You will feel something far more painful than the guy over there if that is the case." Ria pointed at the brutal death of the tiger guy. "Unfortunately, I think I will start my investigation from your blood and your corpse."
Ria slashed his neck without a single change of expression. She started procuring the blood and dead bodies to do her research to see the mastermind behind this incident. After all, this third party was something beyond her expectation.
After collecting all the samples, she checked the others.
"We have finished our battle." Michelle walked toward her and nodded.
"Let's regroup with that injured boy." Ria nodded and walked toward Evan and Isabelle while the others followed her.
Isabelle didn't notice them coming closer and simply looked at Evan with lifeless eyes. At the same time, they couldn't say anything either because of the shock and the regret in their hearts.
Ria sighed and raised Evan. "I will be carrying him to the hospital and make sure he is fine. You guys can go back to the battlefield."
"You are not going to help us?" Michelle asked.
"No way. You already have my beloved students, so you don't need me." Ria Ross smiled. "And don't tell him about me coming here."
"Why?" Michelle furrowed her eyebrows. Kai should know about this since Ria had helped them a great time by defeating the one hundred enemies along with these six people.
"I am not supposed to be here. Just like how you guys are on your happy vacation, this old lady shouldn't intrude in your fun. That's why, don't tell him anything."
"I… Understand." Michelle sighed. "Still, he should have heard you with his hearing."
"I have checked before coming out. This place is already outside of his extraordinary hearing range." Ria shrugged before tossing a device toward Tasha.
"This is…" Tasha caught the bracelet and tilted her head in confusion.
"It's for twenty percent sharing. You can throw the ten percent device and change it with this new one. I think he already has the concept of his new magic and only needs a higher magic power to release the magic. This item should help him."
"You should have given this to Kai, you know." Tasha furrowed her eyebrows.
"No way. I have been covering him in the front for quite a while, it's time for him to forge his own path… The person who is standing beside him is not me, but you guys." Ria Ross shrugged and leaped to the air. "Anyway, see you later."
Michelle watched her leave before looking at Tasha.
Tasha nodded and created teleportation magic. "Teleportation!"
