Chapter 389: It Looks Like You Want to Die Badly

One minute later, and thanks to Regina and Aya's guiding them, the group finally managed to catch up to the abomination and the man with it.

The two of them immediately noticed Bloed's group. Without hesitation, both of them turned around to face Bloed and the others.

At the same time, Bloed grabbed his saber and put on a serious expression.

"Girls, be careful. Remember that we need to catch them alive. But if you are in danger, don't hesitate to kill them."

"Understood~"

"Understood, Brother."

"Nn."

Liu Ying, Eres, and Aya one after another. Bloed hesitated a little bit when he heard Aya's voice, considering her current state. But in the end, he decided to let her participate as well.

That was what she wanted, and in the worst of the cases, he was ready to help her.

Plus, they needed as much help as they could get right now.

Catching the abomination alive was not going to be an easy task.

'Fortunately, Eve's strange technique stopped them from self-detonating or committing suicide. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for us to catch them alive.'

Taking a deep breath, Bloed looked at the two enemies in front of him carefully.

In the next second, his psychic power erupted-

"Go."

-And he kicked the Leto's back, rushing towards the enemies.

The girls jumped after him. At the same time, Leto turned into a vortex of metallic sand that attacked the man beside the abomination.

"Die!" The man growled. He used his punch to unleash a powerful attack that blew most of Leto's metallic sand away.

However, more metallic sand surged from the surroundings, rushing towards the man from all directions as though it was a metallic sandstorm.

Leto's metallic sand was not enough to take care of the man, though. In the end, the man was an A-Rank practitioner, and Leto's combat power was equivalent to a B-Rank practitioner.

Even so, the strange attacking method of Letos's metallic sand was enough to keep the man distracted. Furthermore, every time he tried to escape from Leto's metallic sandstorm, a dagger attacked him from his blind spots, aiming at his vital organs.

And even if he managed to evade the dagger, bullets of energy would rain on him from above, forcing him once more back into Leto's encirclement.

It was Aya and Oculus!

They were coordinating with Leto to keep the A-Rank enemy in check.

Aya was not in top shape. Plus, she knew that her attacks would not be useful against the abomination and she would be a burden instead. Thus, she took on the task of distracting the other enemy together with Leto and Oculus while Bloed, Eres, and Liu Ying took care of the abomination.

However, Bloed, Eres, and Liu Ying were aware that Aya could not stop the man forever. In the end, she was just a peak B-Rank practitioner; plus, she was not in top shape right now. In her current condition, she could not stop a peak A-Rank practitioner for long, even with Leto and Oculus's help.

Thus, they needed to take down the abomination in front of them as quickly as possible.

Aware of that, Bloed, Eres, and Liu Ying went all out from the start.

With a grunt, Liu Ying released her aspect. The gigantic black knight took shape behind her, coordinating with her movements to release several attacks as Liu Ying teleported behind the abomination to strike its back.

However, this abomination had already experienced Liu Ying's attacks once, so it knew that it could not absorb them. Due to it, it was extremely wary of Liu Ying.

Without turning around, the abomination used a tentacle to stop Liu Ying's attack and used another to pierce towards her neck.

Liu Ying clicked her tongue and jumped back. Unfortunately for her, the abomination was a peak A-Rank creature! Even without the ability to devour mana, it was much stronger and faster than Liu Ying!

Despite Liu Ying jumping back to evade the attack, it continued going towards her neck at great speed!

Liu Ying was not fighting alone, though.

Before the tentacle could reach Liu Ying, Bloed's appeared near the creature's body and slashed towards it.

The abomination hurriedly stopped attacking Liu Ying and jumped back as it tried to use a tentacle to block Bloed's saber. It knew that it could not absorb the energy of Bloed's saber either, so it was planning to defend normally this time.

Unfortunately, it did not know about one thing.

Bloed's [Molecular Disintegration].

In the next second, the surprised abomination could only watch as Bloed's saber cut through its tentacle as though it was tofu.

"AAARRRGGHGHGHHHHHH!!!"

The pain of having a tentacle severed made the abomination scream in agony. It roared in rage and tried to use another tentacle to attack Bloed, but then, an enormous feeling of danger assaulted it.

At some point, a black-haired girl had appeared behind it, holding her hand up as a ball of transparent-looking flames burned silently over it.

"Burn, [Skyflames]." Eres chanted.

And in answer, the transparent looking flames descended towards the creature.

The creature trembled in fear. For some reason, the transparent flames made it feel greatly threatened.

It did not hesitate to jump away. However, Liu Ying appeared in front of it, gathering her entire strength on her right hand and clenching her fist with a vicious expression.

"Die!"

Facing Liu Ying's powerful attack, the creature did not dare to receive it head-on. It hurriedly used two tentacles to meet Liu Ying's attack.

Then

*Bam!*

The fist and the tentacles clashed, creating a powerful shockwave that shook the surroundings.

Both Liu Ying and the creature stopped in the air for an instant.

But in the next second

"Ugh!"

Liu Ying flew away while vomiting a mouthful of blood.

However, her lips were curved up in a smile.

Because when the abomination was stopped, Eres's flames reached it.

"AAARRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!"

The abomination roared in pain. Several of its tentacles were caught by the flames, disappearing in an instant!

Space itself was burnt together with the tentacles, turning everything into dust!

Moreover, the flames continued advancing, devouring the abomination's entire body at an unbelievable speed.

Two-thirds of its tentacles were burnt in an instant!

An expression of terror appeared on the abomination's face. In a panic, it used one of its tentacles to cut away all the appendages that had caught flames before jumping away.

However, a saber and a sword were waiting for it where it was going to land.

Bloed and Eres, one of them using [Molecular Disintegration] and the other using [Skysword], stared at the creature with ice-cold eyes as their weapons cut towards it.

The abomination's eyes shook. Its human face gritted its teeth. Then, it used one of the tentacles to grab a nearby tree and pull itself toward it. Thanks to that, it managed to avoid the lethal attacks of the twin siblings.

However, Bloed and Eres did not give up.

Eres, who was the fastest of the two, followed after the creature closely, her pitch-black eyes looking at it with ice-cold killing intent.

At the same time, Bloed's blue eyes lit up as he got ready to unleash his trump card.

But suddenly, his expression changed.

An explosion occurred on Aya's battlefield!

Then, a battered man broke out of Leto's metallic whirlpool, unleashing an area of effect attack that forced Bloed and Eres to jump back.

"Run away! I'm going to distract them!" The man shouted at the abomination and rushed towards Bloed and Eres.

The abomination did not hesitate. It kicked the ground and jumped onto a roof before running away.

Bloed frowned. He planned to chase after the abomination. However, the man stood in front of him with a crazy and determined look on his face.

"Stay!" He growled.

Bloed's eyes turned cold.

"It looks like you want to die badly, huh."

Grasping his saber with both hands, he took one step forward and raised it.

[Split Mind] was activated, followed by [Overdrive].

Feeling the capacity of his calculation zone increasing crazily for a brief instant, Bloed activated [Molecular Disintegration] and swung his saber down.

[Imaginary Slash]!

And with a silent scream, the A-Rank enemy was cut down.
