A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero
Arc I - Chapter 61: Their Concerns - 2
Hearing this, people held their breaths. But this is the real reality. With Ditch's position making him more or less act as the overseer of the entire city's security, naturally he knew the face of the mercenaries who could enter and exit in this city.
Some disbelieving faces were shown by some of the people inside this room. However, not everyone was surprised because some people like Rico had some guesses that were not far from the facts in front of them.
“Therefore there are two possibilities, first they took the initiative of disguising themselves as bandits. Or ...,” Still with an expressionless face, Ditch continues the explanation of the conjecture that was in his head. “Overflow side itself which are the real bandits.”
Diverting his gaze, Ditch murmured, “This is only a guess, but since the position of these people is relatively high in the group it makes the possibility of a second actually greater than the first. It feels impossible if a group as big as Overflow does not know the movement of one of its ranks.”
Time seemed to be at a standstill, various feelings and thoughts flowed into the heads of the people in this room.
Even Ditch himself did not expect to get such devastating information. On the other hand, he was grateful for often making Huge his guard to make Huge aware of the identity of these bandits.
Imagine if this mission was run by someone else and this information was lost. Ditch can't endure the cold sweat because it will keep them looking after a wolf in sheep's clothing.
A line of veins appeared on Dany's forehead, and Huge noticed the change in one of his colleagues made him try to hold Dany back. “Tenlah Dany. Although we know this information but we still can not move as we want.”
“Why?! I'll approach them and slap them in the face!”
“Do you know why we were silent earlier?” ask Huge. “The Power of Overflow is large and cannot be underestimated. Even if we do things like punish them or something now, besides bringing chaos within the city will also make the soldiers mentally come down during the upcoming war. If that happens you should know what happens next, right?”
Not waiting for Dany to speak, Ernest immediately continued. “We will be suspicious of each other and make cooperation between platoon units difficult. After all, there will only be one outcome for Reutania in the war later, defeat.”
“So what should we do now?” Dany's question left everyone speechless and began to sink into each other's thoughts.
However, all of that soon came to an end as crackling sounds filled the ears and the moonlight began to block the clouds.
A bright light began to shine on the city of Dee, making Ditch, Huge, and the others begin to look up at the sky.
As if the shock in their hearts was still not enough, eight lightning dragons began to descend. Making the thoughts of those who had continued to set since then seem to be at a standstill, unable to respond to this event anymore.
“What happened?” A mutter came out of Ditch's mouth. Gazing blankly at the dragons who continued to roar, spinning in the sky showed his figure.
***
The battleground between Rion and Overflow was now completely calm, not a single movement or sound had occurred there.
All eyes were now focused on the shadow of a young man who stood gallantly undisturbed by the scattering of corpses and blood everywhere. The young man's hand was raised, a dazzling bright blue light eyes gathered on the young man's hand.
As the figure of the lightning dragon showed itself, it shook Dee City with its presence of light in the young man's hands as if it was a form of his control over the dragons that appeared.
The detached lightning serpents continued to rampage, dropping lightning bolts that gave destruction to several places in the corner of the city.
The sky that was supposed to be pitch-black was now brightly lit, receiving light from the bodies of the dragons. Crunching sounds continued to sound, increasingly louder as if they wanted to give terror, instilling fear in the hearts of every individual who saw it.
The dragons were spinning in the outer space, as if tracing the city where they had appeared.
The young man's eyes that were originally closed were now open. With a sharp look, he lowered his hand, as if to be a sign of the start of the rampage that the dragons were about to put up.
The eight dragons that appeared in the sky were now descending. Their bodies turned into mighty rays, immediately smashing into the city along with the destructive power it carried.
This battleground, which was also the destination of the dragon, showed its power was now charcoal black. The charred smell of charred gosong filled the sense of smell, be it a corpse or a person hiding had now been roasted out.
However, the destruction in this place is actually nothing. The other two places that became the temporary headquarters of Overflow were also rained down by the dragon's rampage, but they were not as lucky as three of the eight dragons rampaged there.
With one here and one in place Rion had a brief fight with the previous Overflow members who were also struck by a dragon. However, it only works for ‘cleansing’ from the mess she made earlier.
Be thankful for the amazement. Because of him, Rion was able to see the complete records of the Overflow headquarters' location in Dee City.
Making it should emphasize more control on [Grandmagic: Dragon Lightning Chains] to be able to hit right at the place in question. Moreover, this was not just one, but eight of these forms of magic after being pushed to the maximum by the [Magic: Multiplications] applied to it.
Although the preparation in which the internal record should take a considerable amount of time, but the results are also comparable to that.
Rion glanced, looking at the guards who had been watching the course of the fight from afar who were getting noisy.
“Better I leave immediately before anyone sees me,” muttered Rion to himself.
However, before that Rion felt a flow of mana all around. After confirming that everyone here had been killed or at least near death. He disappeared, as if swallowed by the darkness of night.
Stay away from the tidal waves that will arise due to this action.
A short while after all this was done, a group of shadows moved swiftly towards this place.
“Captain Ditch!” call the assistant as he runs towards the newly arrived Ditch.
“Please immediately explain what really happened.”
“K-captain Ditch ... actually the whole building ... no. Overflow group itself crushed melted.”
Hearing this Ditch along with other money just arrived pecking for a moment. Is it so easy to destroy a group like Overflow? Obviously not, and hence this is difficult to accept immediately.
“Is there any relevant information, even if it is just a guess as to who the parties are related to this?
“Unfortunately not Captain, but we got a report from Overflow members who managed to escape long before exactly this became like this,” Although not sure what it will convey, he said, the assistant said the information. “He said that all this was caused by one person.”
Ditch breathed in a cold breath. If this is true, then how strong is that person?
“What is this more information that can be ascertained the truth?”
“Sorry, but we don't believe that ourselves. However, the young man has the characteristic form of his black hair.”
Although it does not mean much if they exist in the Sylius Continent because such people are quite common in a country called the Satific Republic. However, in the Zestia Continent this is fairly important, people with such traits are not much because the country in question did not take part in the invasion of this continent.
“Alright, I think that's enough for now,” said Ditch while still trying to digest the situation.
“Now prioritize goals to increase security and calm public panic. After that arrest the surviving Overflow members for questioning. Also ...,” Taking a short pause, Ditch finally said, “We have to find out who that black-haired young man is.”
“Good Captain!”
