The Red Game's

Chapter 4 part 2

After the fight ended, I decided to follow Aris' group. They only numbered thirty people, and most of them had yet to show any ability. If Nathaniel's words had been observed, they must have been a combination of several organizations. I can't guarantee this is true or not. But if that's true, then things will get even more interesting.

It's not so bad to get rid of boredom. Yeah, well, I still haven't decided on my next move. However, just in case I had already given someone a surprise. I hope he likes it.

The group suddenly stopped after such a long journey. Maybe they have reached their destination. The place where we were now was a small alley squeezed by two tall buildings. Sunlight cannot reach this area, so the area becomes dark.

“Are you sure, at the end of this alley is the Group of Dark Robes?” ask one of them to Aris.

“You think how long I've been a spy in that group,” replied Aris by raising her tone.

“Ma-sorry.”

Sad, with just a slight bluff, the metal had already shrunk. I can already guess what happens if he's threatened with a gun. At least he would definitely beg while crying in fear. Maybe one day I'll have to prove it.

Before continuing on, they divided the group into four teams of seven to eight members each, then split. I already know what they're planning. Yeah, I don't think that's boring. As a loyal spectator, I don't want to ignore this either.

For now, I just follow the team that is near me. They are eight members and are led by Aris. This team might be tasked with blocking the enemy's exit. Whatever it is, I don't have a problem.

We reached the end of the alley, where there was a very large house. The courtyard was also quite spacious, but very empty and was only overgrown by grass. From inside the house, black-robed people appeared. They numbered about twenty-five. I don't understand, I think this number is quite a bit. Here I realized something strange.

Since I first came here, I was attacked by five thugs. At first it did look ordinary, but when I got to BlackList headquarters, they were few in number as well. And when Aris called his group, they numbered only thirty. It was quite natural, if they were a group of traitors, but after looking to the headquarters of ‘Cloak Kelam’, I became a little confused thinking about this amount.

Rumor has it, the North City is the headquarters of the criminals. But in reality I have never seen it. There is a possibility that the rumor is wrong. Or maybe the rumor wants to say that ‘big headquarters’ in question is a collection of all organizations in North City. I still don't understand.

“Yo! Arya The Head of the Dark Cloak.”

Aris walked over to the person who was in front of the members of the Dark Cloak Group. Maybe he was planning to negotiate with them. If that's the case, then it's in vain that I came here with the intention to watch the show.

“Yo! Isn't this Aris. Why did you bring an unknown person here?”

The Chairman said that in a polite word, but the way he conveyed it held a lot of meaning. You could say this one question already includes many questions just by way of conveying it.

“Am I not allowed to bring a friend here?”

He said an ambiguous word. Depending on how others respond, this sentence may backfire or be welcomed by the opponent.

“Can I ask what you mean, Aris?”

That's a good answer. Rather than having to deduce it himself, he chose to confirm the truth.

“As I said chairman. I brought my friends here.”

Aris deliberately made her words backfire. It seemed like he had never planned to attack secretly.

“So, what do you want from us?”

As expected of the Dark Cloak Chief. He could understand what Aris really meant.

“We didn't ask for anything special. We just want the Dark Cloak Group to be our comrades for control of the Northern City. That's it.”

“Basically, you guys just want to make us a combat tool. No more than that. It's clear we'll reject.”

He exceeded my expectations. With a little information, he was able to read the plans of his enemy. But that's not enough.

“If it's your decision, I don't mind. We just need to finish you all off right now.”

Aris leapt back, then the red triangle barrier locked the members of the Dark Cloak. He seemed to be quite attractive, his abilities could not be underestimated. From the beginning he had calculated everything. By negotiating and giving his opponent a clue, then when the negotiation failed, a trap was prepared.

What an amazing plan. He knew full well the negotiations that were approved just because his opponent felt threatened would definitely do damage in the future. And if he lied during these risky negotiations, then everything would not last.

I admit you're a great man. But why would you lock me up with your target. That's how you feel about this poor me. At least, if you want to lock them up, let me know first.

“Hahaha, this is what happens if you oppose us. From this second on, you will never be able to break out of the barrier for good.”

That's what Aris said. Her voice is not heard in here, but I can read her mouth movements, because she is right in front of me. I know he's not talking to me who uses Invisible Techniques. He only spoke to those behind me.

A member of the dark robe broke through the crowd of his panicked friends. He jumped straight at me, then launched a fist with his shining right hand. I jumped to the side to avoid the surprise attack.

Phew, I almost got hurt from such a sudden attack. Why do I always have such bad luck since I came to this city. Somehow this self can survive until now.

The attack launched by that person earlier, was definitely not to attack me. What he was aiming for was Aris who was mocking the Dark Cloak Group, from outside the barrier. But it was clear the attack was thwarted by a barrier.

Seeing that, Aris continued to babble without any direction to provoke. Let me remind you this time. You shouldn't have taken such a bad step.

“Job. I will never forgive you, Aris,” said the person who attacked the barrier.

“Calm down, Dian. There's no point in you wasting your stamina on something that doesn't matter.” The chief calmed his men.

“Good, Chairman. I'm sorry.”

The chief turned to his panicked men.

“Everything please be quiet.”

Heard orders from their chief. Slowly, the panic state turned calm. This indicates that they strongly believe in their leader.

“To break this barrier, we must unite forces. I'm sure with the combined strength we have, this barrier is no big deal.”

That's a good idea.

“As expected of the chairman,” praise one of them.

“We should immediately prepare for a combined attack. Everyone please line up according to the ability you have!” the commanding officer.

“Good.” The Dark Cloak member replied.

The Dark-Cloak Chief is quite clever. He knew very well that the Merging Technique would not work if it had the opposite ability. For example, when doing the Merger Technique between water and fire users, it will only extinguish the fire and weaken the water attack. But the story is different if they really want to make smoke.

“Fire and wind users line up on my right. Water and electricity users on the left. For others prepare behind.”

So, he intended to make an explosion. Pretty interesting idea, but I'm not sure it's enough to destroy this wall. You guys are lucky enough because I'm here too. Although reluctant, I will still help.

Outside the barrier, it seemed that Aris and his group continued to laugh at the Dark Cloak Group. They might think of seeing his enemy trying continuously to break the barrier until he finally gave up. But he made a mistake involving me. Although not intentional.

Yeah, anyway, I've been involved in this. I don't think it's bad helping them now.

“Water and lightning users, fire!!” exclaim the Head of the Dark Cloak.

A large water ball mixed with electricity was fired. The attack was not even capable of scratching the barrier.

“Fire and fire.”

The fire grew bigger when mixed with the wind. The flames condensed into a huge fireball and shot towards the electrified water ball.

>Boom<

The attack exploded and created a lot of smoke. Then the Dark Cloak members who were at the back, charged forward. They definitely wanted to attack the barrier with a melee attack.

I mingle with them. Then simultaneously I launched a fist with the right hand. Actually, I'm just punching, no spirit or anything.

The barrier shattered with my fist, no one realized that the one who knocked it down was me. The power from the curse I got, would automatically come out if I was in an attacking or defensive position. He's like my personal guardian god.

“Finally we are free.”

Vigorous cries and relief echoed in the courtyard. They were too happy to have made it out of the barrier. I don't understand they can be that happy just because they made it out. Do they not forget something very important and urgent.

I moved away from the noisy crowd, towards an empty one. Aris' group was completely shocked to see what had just happened. Their high-level barrier was successfully destroyed with the combined strength of the Dark Cloak Group. I wonder how it goes.
