Chapter 676 Next Objective, Take Over The City!



Amanda was still alive if being a torso with a head could be called alive. Reign had used his darkness, and the two parts that had gone to the left and right were slowly turning to dust as Shadow had thrown his two daggers which were coated in his darkness as well before hitting them. His corrosion immediately started working, and without Amanda being able to use mana to reinforce them, they were slowly being destroyed.

Amanda stared at Reign with a gaze that was … angry, and yet, not angry.

"I finally managed to take full control, after so long, I managed to get rid of that bastard," Amanda said softly before chuckling as she stared at Reign who was standing above her.

"You … you're strong, stronger than I thought a person could be without using the potions, perhaps I did make a mistake, perhaps I didn't, and should have been even more brutal and efficient when it came to gathering the potions and improving my strength."

"In the end, it was my cautiousness that led to my downfall, had I decided to evolve without waiting for the final batch of the potions, you wouldn't have been able to defeat me, I'm certain of that."

"Maybe, maybe not, but I guess we will never know," Reign said softly as he raised his sword.

"Yeah, it's unfortunate, but hey, at least we had a damn good fight, right?"

"You were without a doubt the strongest enemy I had faced till now." Reign said with a nod of his head before swinging his sword down and decapitating Amanda. He then used his other sword to penetrate through her head before using what little mana he had left to activate his darkness and completely destroy the head. 

As the head was destroyed, and Amanda's soul with it, the rest of her body turned to ash immediately. It wasn't just her body, the moment she died, the remaining heads stopped moving before they also turned to dust. 

They were a part of Amanda, their souls were bound to her, and upon her death, they died as well.

"It's a pity, seems like she was able to regain her senses at the very end, maybe if the Abomination hadn't clouded her thoughts, she would have been a different kind of person," Aethion said with a sigh as Reign nodded his head.

The remaining enemies, 4 of them in total, all surrendered upon seeing the death of their boss and the heads that once had full control of the city. Without them, the four knew that there was nothing that could stop the enemy from gaining control of the city now.

Of course, it wouldn't be that easy. Reign knew that in order to take full control of the city, they had to eliminate the many gangs that ruled the different areas of the city, which would be a hard and arduous job. He glanced at his group before looking at Beast.

"Beast, we will stay here, you go back to the territory and gather every single Tier IV combatant that we have, as well as the powerful Tier IIIs before leading them over here."

"What about M'azgara's monsters and her army?"

"We still don't have control of the city, there are far too many enemies to be eliminated before the system will grant me control, so I can't do anything to the dome that forbids monsters to enter, it's a shame, but we will have to do this without M'azgara's help, have her monsters patrol around the city so that they can catch any gang member that tries to escape.

"Wait, just a moment, Beast." Wolf suddenly said.

Beast would need a couple of hours to go back, gather the men, and then come back with them. During this time, they would need to let the city know about the Butcher's death and they would need to fight against the gangs that were near the city center.

"Maybe not, maybe we should stay quiet for now." Wolf suddenly said from the side as Reign raised an eyebrow.

"Well, if we do let the city know about the Butcher's death, although that would probably make the gangs stop killing people in the basements, can you imagine the chaos the city will plunge to?"

"Many people and powerful individuals will use this time to start fighting against the gangs, and the gangs will probably start fighting against themselves in order to gain more territory and to hopefully be able to withstand our attacks."

"After all, they had done many heinous things, so they know that whoever kills the Butcher won't let them off." 

Reign suddenly grimaced before hitting a steel beam next to him. Wolf was right, even though staying silent would mean that the prisoners they had previously saved would probably get captured again, some of them killed or tortured even, if they were to let the city know that they had killed the Butcher, many more people will die.

They needed to wait for Beast and their reinforcements before doing anything. Greenie was at the allied territory, so he will join them as well, but they also needed to leave some Tier IV combatants and Tier IIIs in the territory, as well as near the great wall in the mountain range so that the monsters can't destroy it.

Their numbers were great, but their territory stretched by quite a bit, making it difficult to protect all of their bases and to go on a full attack against another territory.

"We have allies now, and the number of Tier IV combatants isn't low either, we can call them to aid us as well."

"So, I recommend that Beast gathers everybody, and for him to use a signal, the moment they arrive near the city, they should let us know so that we can publicize the Butcher's death and immediately start with our attack."

"Of course, we still have much to do before that, we need to get into contact with the neutral parties in the city, those that haven't joined the Butcher, and we need to get them to join us, which would lessen the burden on our men as we would have men from inside the city fighting for us as well."

"Furthermore, what I said before should be changed, instead of giving us the signal and attacking, you guys should wait, give us a signal, and then wait for a signal of our own, which would mean that we have completed everything we needed to complete here and that you can make your way in."

Reign and the others all glanced at each other before looking at Wolf.

"You … are you sure you were just an assassin before, you didn't stage any uprisings, overthrow some dictators, and the like before the game?" Reign asked Wolf who chuckled.

"No, that is reserved only for the best of the best, I did study a lot about it, my goal was to reach the top in my field after all," Wolf said with a smile that sent shivers down the back of Reign and the others.

'Well, I'm just glad he's on our side, holy hell, it would be a nightmare to go against a crazy bastard like him.' Reign thought before looking at Beast and nodding at him.

Beast nodded to Reign before jumping on his eagle and making his way toward their allies. He would need to go around the mountain as there were many Tier IV monsters there, and right now, Beast was not at his peak, so he didn't wish to take any chances.

"Now, how do we get into contact with those neutral parties?"

"Well, we do have some people here that used to be close to the Butcher, I truly don't believe that you haven't tried finding those people in the past," Wolf said as he smiled at the four who were in front of him.

"We … we do know some things, but … the men below, the groups of the ten heads who are currently surrounding the center probably know more than we do." One of the four said with a nervous gulp as Wolf and Reign glanced at each other.

"Hmmm … how can we get them without alerting anyone?"

"Actually, it's quite simple," Wolf said with a cold smile as he glanced at the group of four in front of them.

A couple of minutes later, at the entrance of the building, the door opened and one of the four men went out. The ten groups who had been waiting for their heads all stared at the person, but none of them showed any hostility as they recognized the man as one of the people working in the building,  a guard of their big boss.

"The group of head Liondor, where are you?" The man asked with some nervousness as a group started making their way to him.

"Your head wishes to see you, we have successfully taken down the intruders, but some of them are in the building, so we need to search for them, please make your way to the top floor to get your orders, as for the other groups, stay here for now, we will need you later as well."
