Chapter 800: Want Some?
Stefany gritted her teeth. Jay and Erwin were too persistent. And for some reason, they were able to keep up with Eid and Nart.
"This is impossible." Stefany gritted her teeth. If this continued, Aileen would be able to reach that place first.
On the other hand, she had no idea about the rules.
They had made a big scene in the association, so it would be bad if they continued. So, there was only one thing they could do to overturn the situation. It was a gamble, but this was the only way for them to do it.
"I ask Mr. Brian to make his move."
"Are you sure about this?"
"It can’t be helped. I don’t know the rules, but I’m not going down without a fight."
"I understand."
Vina and the others were confused at first, but their confusion turned into panic the moment they saw another figure intercept Aileen.
"!!!" Aileen turned around and raised both daggers as a man in his thirties smashed her with a single punch.
Aileen used her flexibility to deflect the punch, but the other party overpowered her and blew her back to the rooftop.
"Kh." Aileen gritted her teeth and erased her presence even further, trying to escape.
However, Brian emerged from the dust cloud and punched Aileen one more time.
"What?" Aileen widened her eyes, not expecting Brian to be able to locate her.
"You are not going anywhere, Missy. I don’t have a grudge against you, but I will have to defeat you. It’s better if you give up and promise not to do anything or you might feel more excruciating pain." Brian punched down her dagger, knocking it down.
"Aileen!" Erwin shouted in panic. It was Nart’s turn to block Erwin, preventing him from helping. "You... I’m going to skin you alive."
"Christina. I think you need to make your move, right?" Vina tried to ask Christina one more time. As long as Christina made her move, they would have the chance to win.
Christina squinted her eyes. "So, that’s how it is. Such a sly person..."
Melody squinted her eyes. "Nano tracker. That one single hit is enough for him to place a tracker on Aileen. And he is also a Tier 7 human. Aileen is an assassin, not a fighter..."
Seeing the Libation Fiesta’s reaction, Stefany realized the gamble paid off.
’Before this mission, the master has told us not to bring our Tier 8 aide, but no one is saying anything about the Tier 7. Although I don’t know the rules, I know that we can only rely on our outside help for this battle. And since Tier 8 is forbidden, there’s a chance that we can use Tier 7 humans.
’Although I don’t know how many people I can ask for this battle, I know that the Libation Fiesta doesn’t have a single Tier 7 human. Still, it doesn’t mean we’re not allowed to use Tier 7 humans.
’With their reaction, I’m sure Tier 7 humans are allowed. Since I don’t know how many are allowed, I can only ask for Mr. Brian this time...’
Stefany had received three Tier 7 humans both to protect the Three Swords’ disciples as well as her, so she could send more if allowed. But there was no need to risk it for the time being.
’With this, Aileen Risevan should be defeated. Christina Elseingarde might be troublesome, but she’s not the speed type. Even if she goes there right now, Mr. Brian should have defeated Aileen Risevan by the time she arrives.
’We should be able to win. As long as we find this bear mug thingy, I should be able to figure out other things.’ Stefany took a deep breath before clenching her hands into fists, thinking the victory was within her grasp.
"I’m going right now." Christina nodded. "Melody, support us. Kanaria, Ragna, and Luci. Keep these guys here."
"Got it." Kanaria nodded while waving her hand. "We don’t need to defeat him. As long as Aileen can go, that will be enough."
"Understood."
"Ah, wait. Christina..." Melody abruptly stopped her.
"!!!" Christina and even Stefany were bewildered. Why would Melody stop her when time was of the essence?
"I need to go right now. That guy is Aileen’s weakness."
"There’s no need for you to do that anymore." Melody shook her head.
"Huh?" Christina was perplexed. "What are you talking about?"
Melody smiled wryly and showed her Skyphone. A certain message came in, and it was from their leader. Yes, Clovis had finally sent another message.
"Need help?"
"Clovis?!" Christina dropped her jaw.
"Ah!" Stefany almost forgot about this person. She had never heard the report about Clovis being in this town or the fact that he had left Mara’s side.
So, she thought Clovis was still training. But it turned out she was wrong. If Clovis was contacting them, he might already be in this city.
How? Although their information network lost against Vina, who had the backing of the Dark Emerald Group, it was still a top-notch information network managed by the Three Swords.
Has he been here the whole time? The moment that question appeared in her head, Stefany suddenly shuddered as if realizing something even more terrifying.
At the same time, she saw Melody replying with ’Yes.’
...
On the rooftop, Aileen gritted her teeth, enduring the pain in her right shoulder. She managed to block one of his punches, but her right arm went numb.
She knew erasing her presence wouldn’t work, considering the enemy never looked at her in the first place.
Aileen took a deep breath. She had fought against a Tier 7 human before, and it was when she was only a Tier 5 human. This time, she had become a Tier 6, so even if she couldn’t win, she could last long enough until reinforcements arrived.
When the two were about to clash, a shadow suddenly leaped onto the rooftop.
"!!!" Both of them glanced to the side, thinking it was the enemy’s reinforcement.
The first one to recognize that face was Aileen. "Captain!"
"Yo!" Clovis smiled. His right hand pulled his sword, but his left hand was holding a plastic bag.
Brian turned around and punched Clovis instead as Clovis swung his sword from above. The moment the sword and the fist collided, a roar erupted from Clovis’ sword.
"!!!" Brian widened his eyes because his fist was suddenly overpowered by the sword of a Tier 5 human and got knocked down to the floor.
Clovis then kicked Brian in the head, blowing him to the other side of the rooftop, as Clovis landed in front of Aileen while taking out a skewer. "Want some? You will like it."
