Chapter 675

Chapter 675

Leeha had not predicted this. It was surprising enough that Bluebeard had moved faster than expected, but to find Lark and the Virtue Knights already here and fighting Bluebeard?

Werent they on the same side? Or, perhaps they were but had a falling out?

This had been Leehas lingering doubt.

Larks analytical ability to instantly devise a strategy for Subjugation, his insight to read the situation, his eloquence in handling human psychology, and his mysterious, unknown abilities. He possessed everything. It was impossible for Lark not to have foreseen Bluebeards existence and their moves.

Yet, why was he deliberately causing trouble? Leehas conclusion was because he was on the same side as Bluebeard.

But the current situation

Lark and the Virtue Knights, with swords drawn against Bluebeard. And facing them, the demonic army, exuding a ferocious aura.

Leeha and Kijung exchanged looks. The situation was peculiar, but they had no time left to ponder.

Kyohoho, why just stand and watch! Kill them all, including that human wielding the rainbow sword!

Understood!

Following Bluebeards command, the demonic army launched their assault.

Kakaka! Though the sword is a bit small for my taste, Ill gladly accept it!

I look forward to making a Death Knight from your corpse.

The onslaught from Igor with his saw-blade sword and the lightning-fast necromancy skills from Faust!

The attack from the third and ninth-ranked was so swift that even the Virtue Knights guarding Lark could not react.

*Groan-

Igors blade was formidable.

Even when trying to counter, Larks body had to forcibly move due to Igors roguish sword technique, as if grasping and pulling the blade itself. And it was towards that very spot, that Fausts skill was aimed.

Damn, not this again. Ill be in danger if it hits me this time-

Lark, failing to meet the conditions for his skill, frowned.

Being a hidden powerhouse and ending up bloodied was one of the reasons.

The collaborative attack between Igor and Faust, now part of the demonic army, had been perfected over several encounters and was unimaginably effective.

Kakaka! Die!

Lark would have died.

If not for Leeha and Kijung.

[Guardians Seal]!

Kijung used his skill towards the bleeding Lark.

Woosh!

At the same time, Fausts necromancy skill, which was burrowing into his side, was crushed and dissipated.

Larks frown turned to shock.

Narrowly disengaging his sword from Igors blade, Lark leaped back to where the Virtue Knights were and looked back.

Master Kay?

Damn! Dont look at me with those eyes! If you die, its trouble for Leeha and me.

Kijung wasnt wrong. If Lark were to die here in an ambush?

Leehas mission of capturing Lark and delivering him to the mystical creatures within two hours would be utterly ruined.

The alliance between humans and paleos would once again erupt into bloody conflict.

Its the first time Ive thought I might fall for a guy.

Stop, stop with the bad jokes! Ill leave the offensive skills to you!

Kijung and Lark exchanged looks. Having been targeted by the Guardians Seal, Lark now had all related skill information displayed via the system notification.

Lark had a good understanding of Kijung.

And Kijung also knew quite a bit about Lark.

Meaning, they both knew too well how to use the current situation to their advantage.

When a defensive specialist and an offensive specialist blend their strengths.

What kind of synergy effect would result?

Kijung, having stepped forward to protect Lark, made instinctively the best move.

But the enemies were no easy opponents.

The leader of the Shinobi-Gumi, and Leehas long-standing nemesis, knew best how to oppose Leeha.

Just kill Leeha! Scatter!

Under Chiyous direct command, the tactic of the Yamato was flawless.

Whether facing Lark or doing anything else, their primary target was Leeha.

Thanks to the high-ranking fire spirit Ignis, the young boy became a super-fire bear along with Jellypong and Blaugrunn, moving in all directions almost instantly without having to fight them directly, aiming to capture Leeha alone!

Their movements, dispersing in various directions instantly, were truly exceptional. However, they made a clear mistake.

Though they scattered in all directions, ultimately, their target was still Leeha!

From Leehas perspective, it looked like enemies were converging on them from all directions, but to a third party observer, the movements were all too predictable, almost as if about ninety Yamato warriors had spilled towards them from three different directions.

The Leeha squad had honed their optimal pathfinding for protecting their master through countless land and aerial battles, solidifying their tactics as instinctual.

Koma! Jellypong! Blaugrunn-ssi! Block them!

With a roaring sound, Koma along with Jellypong and Blaugrunn rapidly intercepted each group they were assined to.

Look out, a bear is chasing us!

Push them back! How tough can they be!

Got it. Explosive Orb!

One of the Yamato members flicked a finger, triggering an explosion that enveloped Koma in flames.

Nice job! Now, let me split his bellywhat the?

Before the explosion subsided, a swordsman rushed towards where Koma had been, only to be halted by a gigantic shadow emerging from the flames.

With a fierce roar, Koma extended its claws, piercing the side of the great sword.

The claws not only punctured the sword, turning defense into an offensive move, but also quickly overpowered the swordsman, who lost his weapon and became incapacitated.

In a brief moment of confusion, Koma grabbed the swordsmans head and effortlessly tore it off.

As the lifeless body collapsed like a beheaded puppet, another Yamato member armed with dual swords charged forward.

Damn it! Start with the limbs! This guys defense is insane!

But as one of the dual swordsmen from the left group swung his weapons, Koma did not evade. Instead, allowing his forearm to be sliced, stopping the blade mid-cut in a strategic move to restrict his opponents actions.

Despite the swordsmans fame as a dual-wielding expert, he could not fully cleave through Komas flesh, let alone muscle, astonished that merely muscle contraction could trap his blades.

Facing the bear-like creature, the renowned swordsman of Yamato found a cunning smile on Komas face.

Even with both arms sealed, beasts like him had one more weapon at their disposal than humans.

With a ferocious roar, Komas jaws clamped down on the dual-sword users neck.

Even for a human with a comparatively thick neck, it seemed to pose no challenge for a bear, biting through it with ease.

As the life drained out of him, his body turned into a lifeless shade.

Agh wha?

Not even the formidable monsters led by Toon could stand a chance against Koma.

Yamato was known for its strength, and users like Great Sword Storm,

Master of Dual Swords, and Snot Bomb who first attacked, despite their renown, were effortlessly conquered. Their failure stemmed not from a lack of full commitment in their attacks against these obstacles but from the overwhelming might of Koma and its accompanying creatures.

Whats with this slime-like thing?

[Mongmong?]

While Koma decimated a group of Yamato forces, Jellypong pursued another group on the right. From its short slime-like body, grotesquely stretched hundreds of tendrils, squirming nauseatingly.
