Guild Wars

Chapter 1073 Battle Against The World Council 3

?

On the other side, Joker and Happy Scholar, as well as Gentle Flower and Noble Soul, were clearing out a section. 

Joker casually manifested a card that glowed with a purple light and threw it towards a group of guards who were trying to ambush Noble Soul from behind. The purple card struck Noble Soul, causing a purple-colored clone of him to appear behind him. The clone then slashed at the foes using Noble Soul's own power, cutting them in half at the waist. 

Noble Soul finished dealing with the enemies in front of him and turned to glance at Joker with a look of appreciation. 

"Not bad, Andreas, you've become more creative with that power." Noble Soul generously praised. 

Joker glanced at Noble Soul, dissatisfaction evident on his pale face. "I told you not to call me that." 

Joker casually ran a hand through his neatly slicked-back yellowish-purple hair. His eyes were sharp and thin, giving the impression that he was a scheming scumbag. His skin was dangerously pale, much like Hera's. 

Joker's face was long and narrow, granting him a bizarre handsomeness thanks to his small upturned nose. His lips were mostly facing inward, making it seem as if they were extremely thin. This made his smile very eerie and gave one the feeling that he couldn't be trusted. He was tall but dangerously slim. He was fit, but his waist was tiny and his legs were long. 

His attire was a yellow, long-sleeved short jacket that reached his stomach area and was unbuttoned to show his chest area which was covered by a plain black t-shirt that wrapped around his flat stomach. He wore tight fitting pants that were black as well and almost looked like they connected with his shoes. 

(AN: I don't need to tell you that he looks similar to Hisoka.) 

Noble Soul shrugged as he swung his broadsword forward, creating a blade gale that cut a hole through the gate before them. "I don't see why you hate your name, other. Mine is Johnathan, and even though it's very common, I like it!" 

He grinned widely and his giant broadsword melted into energy as it returned to his bloodline. He still retained his tall and buff nature that looked like a fighter even after getting the Pangu bloodline, maybe because he had always been perfectly built for it. 

Hm, it would make sense to follow this line of reason for Joker similarly hasn't changed after receiving the Lucifer Lineage. 

Noble Soul's face was no longer perpetually locked into an expression of determination, as if the very air was an enemy he had to overcome. He seemed to have relaxed greatly and become more friendly and mature, a result of his growth during this period. 

It might also have to do with his romantic relationship with Maple Leaf, a top Expert member of Umbra who had rejected Sublime's offer of getting promoted into a core member. When asked about the reason she had answered with a "ya'll are always doing crazy stuff, I want to be at peace in life, hombre. No hay estrés para mí." 

Surprisingly, Noble Soul had yellow skin with a reddish hue as well as a thin mustache that connected to a stubble on his chin. His light brown eyes were filled with amiability and trustworthiness, his tall brown hair was cut into a fade that was neatly combed into a straight stand. 

He stuck to a simple t-shirt that had a drawing of a lollipop along with black camo trousers and black sneakers. He did look fashionable, and we had Maple Leaf to thank for it, as she had roared the need for proper dressing into his ears like a proper Spanish woman. 

"Don't be noisy, Jonathan, we are here to fight, not mess around." Gentle Flower chided in a soft tone with a smile. 

She was currently squatting near some flowers, passing a hand over them. The flowers seemed to move as if in a trance, caressing her palm lovingly, like children who were happy to hug their mother after her return from work. Gentle Flower smiled warmly at this and rubbed the flowers gently before getting up. 

The young woman had remained a svelte maiden even after receiving the Amaterasu bloodline from Eva, though thanks to a mixture of Freya's Vanir magic and Ishtar's War Goddess abilities, she was no longer flat all round. 

As it was the Light Angel Inheritance - formerly Celestial Maiden Inheritance - her beauty had been enhanced and the two goddesses she was given were both shared the attributes of fertility, sex and beauty. 

You could be sure as hell that the current her was packing heat of a different kind. 

Still, despite this, her face maintained its oval shape and she was still refreshingly beautiful. In her presence, one would not necessarily jump to sexual thoughts about her right away but would still love to see her smile because it was a pleasant sight. 

She also radiated a strong maternal aura that made you feel like a little brother to your kind and gentle older sister who always pampered you. 

Her eyes were grayish-black and her long, waist length hair was a deep green color with white patches. She wore her trademark sundress with a flowery embroidery. It was as white was snow, just like her fair and smooth skin while on her feet were a pair of sandals that wrapped around her ankles. 

She came to stand beside Happy Scholar who was glancing at her lovingly, and her face lit up with a stunning smile. "What about you, Sylvester? Don't you plan to attack?" 

Happy Scholar shrugged and pointed a finger at Noble Soul who was rushing forward to deal with foes while Joker lazily supported him. 

"With those two on the beat, I don't think we'd get a chance to do anything unless we steal the food from their mouths, Anne-Marie." Happy Scholar remarked with a sigh and exasperation. 

He waved his shoulder length long and silky black hair that were tied into a ponytail with a jade-like pin. His face was elfin in nature, very angular and long. His jaws were gaunt, his eyes were oval and curved downwards. 

He was extremely handsome and tall, with a slender compact body that was fit and did not seem muscular unless he was stripped naked. His skin was fair, and his eyes were a calm indigo color, but due to him choosing the Amaterasu Abyssal Eye power, they could easily change to pitch black with a swirl within like Eva of the past. 

He wore a dark blue cardigan with a white t-shirt underneath, as well as slightly loose shorts, giving him a casual, dad-like look. However, due to his youthfulness, he was more like a bishonen. 

Gentle Flower laughed and held Happy Scholar's arms. "Let's follow them and make sure they don't cause trouble, hmm?" 

Happy Scholar laughed and led Gentle Flower along, agreeing wholeheartedly. 

............…. 

Meanwhile, directly in the left wing of the estate, where the security office was located. 

Boyd roared as he swung his axes down, cleaving the entire building in half and exposing the men inside who were waiting got ambush them if they dared enter. Seeing raw power of this nature, their faces changed greatly and the scrambled to fire. 

Boyd simply stood there and allowed his best buddy Uno to jump ahead and create a literal physical barrier that blocked all the attacks coming from in front with ease. Boyd and Uno stood there while hundreds of bullets and rockets came crashing at them, chatting while they did. 

The officer in charge of the group growled in anger. "Kill those fuckers! Bring out the untested weapons and let's see if these freaks can remain so calm!" 

"Yes, sir!" One of the troops roared as he broke from the line of fire and rushed to the back where the arsenal was to withdraw the 'untested' weapons. However, he only took two steps when a glowing white arrow pierced the back of his head and exploded it like a rotten melon. 

Blood and brain matter splashed around, covering the men who were still firing, causing them to be shocked. The officer himself was flabbergasted, turning around to see where this muck came from when he saw the still standing headless corpse of his subordinate. 

He just stared stupidly at the man who called him boss just not a few minutes age that was a headless corpse now. The corpse then fell to the ground and he woke up from his shock, ducking and roaring: 

"GET DOWN! SNIPER! SNIPERRR!!!" 

However, it was too late. By the time he finished roaring, hundreds of arrows were shot out from the same place, easily piercing through the skulls of all the men who were shooting, blowing up their craniums from the sheer force alone. 

Their bodies even remained crouched, still pressing on the trigger as they fired until their nerves collapsed and their blood flow slowed, not to mention their magazine clips became empty. 

Of course, their bodies soon collapsed to the ground lifelessly, leaving only the prone officer who was covering his head admits the silence. Eventually, he realized what was going on and gulped, his entire body trembling on the ground. 

Uno and Boyd casually walked over to him while Shani leapt down from the tree she had been hiding in to snipe. 

(AN: I'm not gonna describe how these three look because Boyd and Uno have been done over 10 times over the 1000+ chapters so you should have a clear idea of them. Shani is one of the most memorable female characters, I've been told, due to her and Boyd's origin. Still, if you've forgotten her appearance, just google Asahina.) 

Boyd stepped on the back of the trembling fellow and pressed down lightly, making him squirm in pain. 

"Buddy, you don't need to die for some shitbag who fucks little kids on an island somewhere. Where is the Fifth Councilor holed up in this estate? Tell us and you get to go home, traumatized, but alive." Uno spoke bluntly. 

The fellow didn't even hesitate. He pointed to a small part of the central building and then downwards. "Head to the central building and go to the pantry, there is a bunker underground where the Fifth Councilor will be rushed to in the case of an attack. He has superpowered people like you protecting him in droves down there and the bunker even connects to an underground rail tunnel with which he can escape if things go south." 

The faces of the three shifted slightly and they couldn't help but glance at the fellow strangely. The man shrugged. 

"You said it, he's a shitbag. You think he just fucks kids? We've seen him do a lot worse. I've got a family that he's willing to kill if I speak up, but I reckon with your power, he'd be dead soon, so I can just go back to being a good father again." 

He spoke frankly and then got up calmly. "Can I go now?" 

The three shared a look and nodded, and receiving that cue, the fellow turned and began leaving. Shani's eyes flashed as she raised her bow and pointed it at his head but hesitated. 

The fellow suddenly stopped and then half-turned his head. "Also, do not go to his bedroom or any of the living chambers. They are decoys during attacks like this where we will ambush you with severe explosives." 

After saying that, he calmly left, and Shani lowered her bow. The three turned to face the building which the officer spoke about with wry smiles. 

"His information is good, but… it's too late." 

BOOOOM! 

An explosion occurred that shook the ground, and from it, one could see a silhouette flying into the horizon. 

"MISERY YOU BASTARRDDDDD!!!" AP_Berserker roared as his blackened body was tearing through the air at Mach 1, while at the location of the explosion, Misery was looking upwards while taking a swig of his bottle, sighing with appreciation.
