A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 92: Moving Soon - 1

The sound of footsteps echoed in the silent passageway. Even so the voice was immediately muffled, as if it did not want anyone to be able to notice the voice.

The flashes of shadows moved quickly, although their movements seemed to be overtaken by time. However, the shadow actually appeared in a flash. If the eyes are not observant enough, then it is true that the shadow will not be realized.

The origin of all those shadows, the Night Eye team put on a terrifying gloomy face. Although Xion's condition has passed through his critical period, but he will still not be able to move for a long time. Even the possibility for his pulse to stop was still wide open.

Mana poisoning. That was the case of Xion.

Where in living things more or less is their natural source of energy, and therefore also the use of which requires exercise because of the nature of the body to reject the energy is drained.

After all, the four training paths would basically grant a certain strength at a certain mana cost. In another sense, the concept of equality between submission and return is applied here.

However, excessive use will give a commensurate risk because which itself is a source of natural energy that is unconditionally needed by the body. Now, Xion is experiencing the effects of this.

By forcing [Wild O Rage] to the highest point of being able to defend against that person, Xion had felt the effect of a reversal in the moment that the power itself was moving wildly.

In addition, the wound she sustained also contained corrosive properties despite Yuzu being able to stop it with a series of special healing magic.

‘What a stupid act!’ thought Yuzu. Even if he could ease the corrosive effects, he would be unable to do anything about which poisoning condition Xion was in. Looking at Xion who was now brought by Wess, he could not help but feel sad.

“But, if he doesn't do that then we're gone,” Yuzu murmured leaked out, showing his thoughts clearly.

For this reason, Yuzu advised Wess and Zee to return soon. After all, Reutania had known of an existence that made the mission even more impossible.

However, more than that is the purpose their mission has achieved. So, even if the military higher-ups ask, then the reason for their return is acceptable. Adding unnecessary risk is clearly not needed.

Even if there are people who harbored the feeling to search further, but their circumstances do not allow to do so.

Signalling the hand to Wess and Zee to stop, Yuzu immediately ducked down. Trying to hide his existence.

“It looks like from now on it will be a little sticky,” Yuzu muttered without power.

Even if they have mapped out many parts of the entire underground conduit construction and guarding schedule. Yuzu felt that it would still be difficult to pass through the Reutania barricade.

In addition, Reutania Kingdom seems to have tightened guard, both in frequency and volume. It could be seen that they would let the Night Eye team be able to enter and exit at their own will in their courtyard.

Looking towards Wess, Yuzu asked, “How is the current condition of Captain, Wess?”

“I feel that his breath is getting weaker.” After saying so he spoke with regret. “If only I could help maybe the Captain's condition wouldn't be this bad.”

“Don't I tell you not to think too much about Wess?” Saying So, Zee tried to calm Wess down.

Turning his gaze to Yuzu, Zee looked at Yuzu deeply before being replied to a nod by Yuzu. As if being able to figure out the other's intentions just from the look in his eyes, the two of them had agreed on a certain matter.

‘Captain must be safe!’ thought both.

“Wess, are there any strange movements around?”

“No Zee, but as you know. The possibility that Reutania is watching us cannot be released.”

Hearing this, Zee sighed. Even if they had determined the path of retreat earlier. However, when they really have to use the path much faster, the feeling of anxiety cannot be lost.

However, even after some time had passed none of the movements that occurred made them silently, taking a sigh of relief. Even so, as their footsteps continued, a slap suddenly sounded.

“Magic: Booming!”

“Magic: Hit the Strom!”

“Magic: Sidewall!”

Magic light filled the view, fire, wind, and earth joined the Night Eye team in the middle. The Beast-kin's eyes lit up anxiously, the thing they were afraid of was actually happening.

The ground was raised on the left and right sides, confining them to where the magic was reaching making them unable to dodge, or it was a Reutania scenario. Because the advantages of the Beast-kin cat race in the flexibility of the body is not mere talk.

The Night Eye team jumped up, showing admirable physical flexibility and trying to cross the existing barricade. Even if it was hard, they had to force themselves, even Zee who had the lowest physical skills was extorting himself to his limits.

BOOM!

A great explosion occurred, but unfortunately it did not reach its target. However, the chain of attack is not over. Dart after arrow shot out, bringing trouble to the Night Eye team, forcing them to keep retreating.

But it's not finished. Like a cage containing an angry bull that was finally opened, the frontline squad immediately pushed forward.

“Sial!” Yuzu Umpat. Gritting his teeth, a bluish tinge began to form in his hand quickly. “Magic: Water Whips!”

With that, tentacle after tentacle of water slid, resisting the attack for a while but would not be able to last long with the level of pressure the opponent exerted.

“Yuzu, Zee, take care of the Captain. I'll go in front.” Saying this, Wess put Xion down gently and immediately advanced, without even waiting for a response from her partner.

However, Zee also does not hinder Wess' behavior and begins to cast magic to protect Xion. “Magic: Air Barier!”

The situation changed quickly, the calm on the border between Sourt City and the forest outside of it immediately became tangled. Wess roared furiously, his face crimson, and he attacked blindly.

“Iron Body! Iron Claw!”

As the crowd echoes, Wess continues to try to hold as many people as she can. He did not focus on one person at all, but spread out and tried to take as much weight as possible.

However, Wess' actions were just like patching a dam that had broken down in the middle of a flood. Can't make much of a difference to make him roar in wrath.

“HAAAAHHHH! YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING HUMANS!” Clenching her hands tightly until it bled, Wess finally shouted, “Blood Stuck!”

Wess' body underwent a major change. The originally scarred body was regenerating at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye! The path of his arteries and veins pulsed outwards, as well as the red color of the blood that now replaced the color of his fur.

“Wess?!” yuzu and Zee shouted after recovering from the shock of the move Wess took.

The [Blood Stuck] technique, this is a secret technique for the Beast-kin. The technique was famously powerful by granting power beyond common sense for a while.

However, great power also costs a commensurate amount, even if it is only for a while, and .. the cost for this technique is the life energy of the user. By continuously draining the energy of life every second, which will eventually bring definite results if the energy is drained ....

Death!
