Chapter 312 - 305: Gracier's Capture 3
On the floor before Maria and Damien's floor, the man with golden eyes had caught off with Sera, and he was currently blocking her way.
Looking at the man standing before the doors that led to the next floor, probably where the girls are, judging by the man's reaction, Sera's face was ice cold.
''Move aside.!"
Usually, Sera shouldn't be saying this; she would have attacked; however, this man was tricky to deal with; more importantly, after performing that spirit possession earlier, Sera was mentally exhausted; no recovery potion can recover mental strength in an instant. Sera was secretly recovering her mental strength before launching her strongest attack on the man.
Sera was well aware that Alice would catch soon, even though seriously injured, and having lost an arm, this was not going to stop her.
''Hehehe! Why are you so hasty? Miss Zero, let talk a little bit. There is-''
''Not interested.''
Swoosh!
Finally, having recovered enough, Sera attacked the man before the latter could finish his words. The man with golden eyes jumped back to dodge Sera's deadly sword strike.
''Tsk! Tsk! As expected of the one claimed as the strongest assassin, even your sword skills are sure remarkable even though you're supposed to be proficient in daggers.''
''Ops! Gotta be careful.'' the man added before black energy wrapped around his fingers, then he used to deflect the incoming sword strikes.
Suddenly, Sera switched stance; she went on the defensive, she blocked Alice's sneak attack.
Clangs
Swoosh!
Clangs
At the same time that she blocked Alice's sneak attack, the man with golden eyes attacked her; unexpectedly, Sera summoned another sword; however, this time, it was an ordinary sword (A/N: I mean not a Gift), a plain black sword whose only one feature was that it could increase its weight, usually Sera didn't like to use this sword, however, as the saying goes desperate time call for a desperate measure.
Taking on two people without using this sword would be equivalent to committing suicide. Somehow, Alice had perfectly recovered; her missing arm was now back.
''Oh? I never heard that Miss Zero was the wielder of a dual sword. Well, it doesn't matter. We won't be having you interfere up there. Stay obediently here.'' the man with golden eyes declared; however, what he got in response was Sera's attack.
Sera arrived had flashed next to the man intending to strike him. However, how could Alice allow that? Definitely, not.
Using a thousand steps she had copied from Sera, she disappeared to reappear in front of her master, using her sword to block Sera's strike.
However, just as Sera's sword was about to clash against Alice's sword, something astonishing happened, the plain black sword switched place Sera's Gift.
''No good!" Shouted the man with golden eyes; he finally understood Sera's aim; however, by the time she noticed that, it was already too late.
Kaboom!
Alice, alongside her master, was blasted back by the powerful force being Sera's sword strike (she increased the plain black sword weight around five hundred kg before she swung it.)
Sera wanted to use this opportunity to go on the next floor to rescue Gracier's and the others; however, just before she could go through the door leading to the next floor, she was sent flying after bumping into something that suddenly appeared from the other side.
It was a gigantic monster; this monster had six arms, three heads; most of the monster's arms held sword while another one held a staff.
Sera quickly rolled on the ground to dodge a water bullet shot at her by the hand holding the magic staff.
''Hehehe! Admire another one of our masterpieces. Although initially, they were failures, we couldn't bear to discard them, such we thought why not combine them? So, we did that, and this is the result. By the way, they are the comrade of our proudest accomplishment, 007's comrade.''
Like a child that couldn't wait to showcase his new toy, the man with golden eyes declared with his arms wide open, Alice was standing beside him with dead eyes.
Wiping away the blood on her lips, Sera did not say anything; she pointed her two swords at the three any while inwardly asking for Alex's forgiveness for not being able to protect his loved ones; however, she was strong, it was impossible for her to singlehandedly take care of the three monsters in front of her; Alice and the man with golden eyes are stronger as her, let's not forget the unknown variable that just popped up, and judging from their early clash, this three-headed abomination was almost stronger as Sera.
For the first time in a long time, Sera felt suffocated; she wished that Alpha was here; with her help, she could have a chance fighting equally against the three in front of her. Unfortunately, Alpha was not present; while sighing, Sera decided to go all out.
Seeing the burning flame inside Sera's eyes, the desire to still fight even while the odds are against her, the man with golden eyes couldn't help but admire Sera. Unfortunately, he couldn't let anybody go down; if not, what they have painstakingly planned would be wasted. He could never tolerate it; the success of this mission mean that he would be one step closer to his ultimate goal, his worth would increase.
''Alice, Death Golem, let's attack together. No need to restrain your strength; go all out.'' the man ordered.
As always, Alice only nodded her head while the three-headed monster could only emit some growl.
Sera's expression remained cold even after the man with golden eyes announced that; she launched her Gift high into the air; she was ready to go all out, ready to activate her domain; however, unexpectedly, something happened.
Boom!
The door of the previous floor got suddenly destroyed, and from the other side someone came out, a beastman, lion beastman, golden eyes, golden hair, golden lightning mixed with red flame was dancing around the palm of the man that appeared.
Sauntering toward the dumbfounded Sera and the man with golden eyes, Leon declared.
''Such a nice gathering, and I was not invited? So, I broke my way in. I want to join the fun. You won't mind, right?"
At the end of his sentence, Leon flashed them a smile. Leon finally made an entrance.
