Chapter 180 Unexpected Meeting



Leyan immediately moved as soon as he found out that Kiara's plan to stop Cuzia's movement had succeeded. They don't even need to communicate to know what they have to do next.

So now, Leyan is right in front of Cuzia and aiming his arrows from an extremely close distance. Leyan was sure that from this close, Cuzia would not be able to avoid his arrow.

*SWISHH!*

Leyan released his arrow. But what happened next made his eyes widen. His arrow was burned by the flames that suddenly appeared in front of Cuzia's face.

"Wha-"

"Leyan!"

Samuel shouted as he dashed to the side. He yanked Leyan before Cuzia's dagger stabbed him in the chest. Making the dagger failed to stab Leyan's chest and only scratched his neck.

Without a pause, Samuel swung his spear at Cuzia's head.

*CLANG!*

Yet, Cuzia can still block the spear with her dagger. She darted in swift motions to cut the distance with Samuel. In the blink of an eye, she was already so close to him and immediately thrust her dagger.

However, Kiara let out a blast of ice that hit Cuzia's body and threw her several meters back with a powerful force.

Cuzia hit the wall and the ice around her body instantly hardened and froze her there. The flames that were originally burning around her body were extinguished by the icy chill.

"Ouch!"

Kiara continues to flow her Mana in large quantities to maintain the ice that freezes Cuzia. She had to keep doing it or Cuzia would be free immediately, especially with the power of fire surrounding her body.

"That bitch is strong!" Leyan said with a terrified expression. "We have to quickly kill her before her friends come!"

ραпdα -n૦νe| , c૦m Leyan pulled back his bowstring and created an arrow. He immediately shot his arrow before even hearing Samuel or Kiara's words.

*SWWIISHH!*

The arrow shot. For a moment Leyan was sure that his arrow would hit Cuzia's head. But his high hope was swiped by the presence of a large figure with a battle ax blocking his arrows.

In a state that was almost fatally injured, Cuzia saw Colmano break through the wall and stop the arrow that almost stuck in her head.

"There you are!" Colmano said with a beastly grin on his face. "I've destroyed several buildings looking for you all. Turns out you're here and playing with her."

"Playing?" Leyan said in disbelief. Meanwhile, Samuel and Kiara didn't say anything because they were busy with their respective struggles.

'This is bad. Even a single one of them was already extremely strong. Now we have to fight two.'

Samuel thought about their odds. And all odds are against them.

'For now, the best decision is to team up with the rest and fight together.'

"HRRAAAAHHH!!!"

Colmano lunged at them raising his great battle ax. Samuel rushed to the front to approach him.

On the other hand, Asqa tried to escape from the figure holding her body. However, that figure is easily overpowering her so making her helpless.

Asqa has thought of all kinds of bad possibilities that will befall her. As the only healer in the party, she knew how important her presence was in battle. And Colmano was stupid enough to leave her alone.

"This is me."

A voice that whispered next to her ear seems to freeze Asqa and all of her attempts to struggle to escape stopped.

"C-Clyde?!"

"Yes." Clyde nodded. Then he stops and releases Asqa.

They were now in a building that was a bit far from where the battle was.

"You're still alive!" Asqa said with eyes full of disbelief.

"Yes. It doesn't matter now," Clyde said hurriedly. "Do you have a way for me to contact you later?"

Asqa was still trying to process Clyde's presence in front of her. Someone she thought was dead is now standing in front of her eyes, completely fine. All of that feels too much for her now so Asqa's speed of thought becomes slowing down.

"Hey!" Clyde said again. He glanced behind Asqa to see if perhaps someone had followed her here. Fortunately at this time, still no one there.

"Are you listening to me?" Clyde looked Asqa in the eye.

"Yes." Aska nodded her head. "But... I'm not sure if I have anything for you to contact me."

Clyde thought for a few moments. He had to find a way for them to communicate again. Asqa was the only contact he know that maybe could get him into The All Territory.

"Can I have something of yours?" Clyde asked.

Ash looked at him. "What do you mean?"

"Something... anything. Things you have now."

After pondering for a while, Asqa finally pulled out the silver necklace that she was wearing.

"How about this?"

Clyde looked at the necklace and nodded. "That's enough. I hope so."

He received the necklace and put it in his trouser pocket. Clyde still wasn't sure what to do but he had some kind of idea.

Suddenly, Clyde felt someone approaching. He had expected that someone in those party would notice what he was doing and chase after him.

Asqa immediately knew what was happening because she also felt his presence. Its Alessio and he came so fast.

"You know what we have to do, right?" Clyde asked.

Asqa nodded her head.

"Good."

Clyde drew his sword and jumped away from Asqa. Then he dashed in the direction Alessio had come. He had to get to him before he got here.

Clyde spares a brief, meaningful glance at Asqa. Then he jumped out of the building.

Asqa looked around her. "So... how should I start making myself look like I've been hurt?"

Outside, Clyde saw Alessio approaching at high speed running up the wall of the building. Around his body, Clyde can see a bit of fire burning.

When he saw Clyde coming out of the building, Alessio immediately sped up his run. The fiery sword in his hand flared even more intensely.

'Shit, this one looks like trouble.'

Clyde activated his [Skill: Pure Lightning] and dashed towards Alessio.
