(From MC's Perspective)
Insect Forest -City of Iron Post,
When the after math was settled, the bandit leader dashed towards me.
Seeing that, I turned my attention towards the other four warriors. It would be foolish to head on directly. I made up my mind to eliminate the other Warriors.
I slowly recited the blood method in my heart. Next, changes began to take place in my body. while feeling that I evaded the wind attack of the leader.
"Whizzz!"
The wind blade went past the empty air. Using that opportunity, I dashed towards the nearby warrior. The lightning phantom technique was too fast for the opponent to notice.
Seeing my sudden appearance, the opponent was caught off guard.
It all happened in the blink of an eye.
I covered my fist with purple lightning power. Then I punched at my opponent's abdomen with great force.
"Pfff, " the opponent coughed up blood.
The bandit warrior flung backwards like a cannon ball and his body smashed on to the ground. I used my full strength in this attack. So there is no chance for the opponent to get back on his feet.
After finishing one, I glanced at the other three bandits beside the leader.
At this point in time, the lead bandit understood my motive. He signalled others to act together. The next second, everyone is ready to bombard me with their elements.
Seeing that, only one idea came to my mind. It's about the lightning wheel.
"LIGHTNING WHEEL"
I launched the lightning attack. While doing that, I dashed towards the group.
Within seconds, a purple lightning wheel formed in an instant. At this point in time, the bandits also executed their move.
I saw two fire balls, one boulder, and one wind pscythe coming towards me. Seeing that, I used the lightning phantom technique.
Using two different types of lightning techniques requires so much concentration. But I managed to pull it off in the end.
By the time their attack reached me, my lightning wheel also came into contact with their body.
The next second, four of the bandit warriors' faces were panic struck with horror.
"Boom," a defeaning sound, resonates in the area.
The lightning wheel directly explodes when it comes to contact with the bandit's body. The explosion swept away everyone's bodies in different directions.
"Cough" "Cough"
Those two fire balls triggered the lightning wheel, resulting in a big explosion.
It also caught me off guard and made me lose my balance. Fortunately, I managed to evade the boulder and the wind pscythe. The brunt of the two fireballs was taken by the lightning wheel.
Others than a few brushes by tripping. I didn't suffer any other injuries. Then quickly, I sorted out the situation by using my perception.
As expected, the 3 bandits with a special trainee base are rendered immobile. Only the bandit leader was somewhat conscious.
Seeing the situation, a small smile rose on my face. This went rather smoothly than expected.
Using this opportunity, I immediately ended everyone one by one. After looting everyone's valuables, I dragged their corpses behind the bush. I also used this opportunity to dispose of Benny Sutton's corpse together with it.
"I hope this will be enough to cover the trails." I grumbled to myself.
After taking one glance at the surroundings, I made my way to the safe zone.
Alternatively,
Everything that happened below didn't go unnoticed by Mr. Jonathan's eyes. He recalled those three lightning techniques used by Zack. All of those were given to Zack by his master.
Suddenly, Mr. Jonathan smacked his forehead.
He recalled that his master had given him a lightning technique for Zack. Mr. Jonathan forgot to tell Zack about it.
"Sigh," Mr. Jonathan sighed internally. Then he decided to hand it over to him later. because the new lightning technique is meant to be a new trump card for Zack.
It will be a huge help to him.
After gaining some clarity, Mr. Jonathan stared at the below. So far, he has only had one task: to erase everyone's traces. Seeing the piled up corpses, Mr. Jonathan completely took care of them.
Then he continues to follow Zack from above.
...
Mateo Roth readied himself to enter the insect forest with his team. When he stepped out of the tent, he saw Carla Gill was already waiting for him.
Mateo asked, "What is it?" He couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows by looking at her worried face.
"The Black Fist Team was annihilated," Carla replied in a tense tone.
"What?" Mateo was taken aback by surprise. But in the next second, he burst out in anger. A red flame appears all over her body.
Carla stepped back, feeling the blazing heat.
"Leader?" She called out in worry.
Hearing that, Mateo calmed his boiling heart and retracted his blazing flame in his body.
If it were any other team, he wouldn't have minded. But the Black Fist team is different.
The leader, Benny Sutton, is one of his men. And to think someone eliminated him. He couldn't even digest the information. Then,
looking at Carla, he said, "Tell me everything from the beginning."
"A few minutes ago, someone spotted Black Fist Team members' corpses," Carla said.
Then she added further, "But we didn't find any trace of Benny Sutton's body."
Hearing that, a slight glint flashes in Mateo's eyes. He didn't know whether Benny was alive or not. But this situation is really bad for him.
Various thoughts came to his mind.
Who could it be? Everyone knows that the Black Fist Team joined under the flag of the Fire Sword Team. So no one dares to act against them.
But what is it with the current situation? Did any one of the other four teams act behind his back? Mateo couldn't be able to conclude.
Everything is going smoothly. Just as he decided to head out, this bad news came.
Mateo Roth looked at Carla and said, "Immediately stop everyone from doing their current task." Order them to look for the culprits. "
"Tell them if anyone finds out anything, they will be handsomely rewarded."
Carla nodded and left the place to inform everyone.
Mateo Roth returned back to his tent. He sat back in the chair and fell into contemplation. His family's task is of the utmost importance to him. now that someone is interfering in it.
Mateo decided to look into this matter. He dropped the thoughts about improving his strength.
Soon after his arrival, Carla told everyone about the new development. When the news was heard by other warriors, the news washed away like shock waves.
Especially the neutral warriors, shopkeepers, and other vendors. They couldn't even believe the news. Everyone was already concerned by the ongoing state of the iron post city.
Now everyone is worried about how this issue is going to impact everyone. Someone dares to touch the hornest nest. No one knows who the culprit is.
Soon, all the teams under the Fire Sword Team immediately went away to look for culprits.
Alternatively,
just as Mateo was completely down, he received a call from his father.
Seeing that he immediately attended the call, Mateo asked, "What is it, father?"
From the other side of the call, Hector answered, "Mateo, there is good news for you."
After saying that, Hector begins to explain what transpired in their meeting hall.
Hearing that, Mateo's dull face begins to brighten. This good news came at the right time. "Elder Brody Roth failed". This is the first time Mateo has heard something like this.
"So, it means there is no additional quota anymore," Mateo said with a smile. "Ha... ha...
ha..., It's true. You can rest assured, "Hector said with a laugh. He is obviously happy about his son's life.
At the same time, Mateo was slightly disappointed. Somewhere in his heart, he expected to hear about Crimson Hall's event.
Because knowing one or two things about the events is obviously helpful to him. But it's a pity that Crimson Hall is really tightlipped about the event.
He doesn't know what Ford Academy will do about this next.
Hector asked, "I believe soon you will be asked to come back." Until then, be ready for the news. "
Hearing that, Mateo thought about the ongoing problem.
Dispelling his thoughts, both of them talked about a few other things before ending the call.
Mateo was in a good mood. One of his obstacles was solved automatically. He just needs to take care of this new problem.
Alternatively,
Carla Gill made her way to the East Wood Company to collect intel. She believes they might have known about this attack. She went together with other members of the fire sword team.
Everyone on the way was alarmed by seeing the Fire Sword Team members. Some people with discerning eyes have already thought about something.
They knew it had something to do with the Black Fist Team. So some people quickly left the place.
Carla didn't mind their reaction. Benny Sutton's image currently occupies her mind. She thought someone was targeting Mateo Roth particularly.
But she needs to speak with evidence. That's why she didn't tell Mateo about it. Then everyone from the fire sword team quickly walked towards the city's gate.
