98: Lion Group

Lion Group

Half an hour ago.

Kai and Tasha were standing in front of the dead bodies of who were supposed to be the four of the largest group. The bodies were covered in blood.

The battle was hard-fought, but it was worth it because he got the information he needed for the mission. It seemed that their base was in an empty city called Cameta, around the southwest of Belem's military base, where Risa was previously stationed.

Looking at this, Kai thought that there would be a high chance for Risa to be the terrorist. Sadly, him knowing this wouldn't help him at the moment. He could only put his trust in Michelle and Ayaka. Because of that, Kai and Tasha tried to search the base as fast as possible.

After around half an hour, Kai picked up a loud sound consisting of numerous footsteps around the area. The supposed empty city turned out to be a terrorist base.

"More than three hundred people… and with this timing, we should safely assume there are more who are currently asleep. If I want to focus on counting them, we need to get closer, but the mission is only to locate the enemy base. I suppose we should call it a day." Kai tried to count the people by their footsteps before turning to Tasha.

"Yeah. This is their battle, not ours." She shrugged.

Kai then took out the pen and pushed the blue button three times, signaling it was three kilometers from their position before throwing the pen on the ground.

After doing what he needed to do, he nodded to Tasha. "Let's head back to the base. If what I predicted turns out to be right, then the base would be in chaos right now."

Tasha took a deep breath before teleporting them again and again toward the base until Kai suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

Tasha, who was in the middle of making another magic circle, suddenly had her heart skip a beat. "Is there something wrong?"

"Michelle and the rest are running toward us from that direction," Kai said, pointing his finger southwest.

"Hm? How far?"

"A little over three kilometers, we can teleport two kilometers ahead then teleport right behind them to make a sneak attack," Kai suggested.

"All right." She nodded and teleported them there before looking at Kai.

"They're still moving. On my signal, teleport us for another one kilometer." He said on his signal because even for her, teleporting at an exact range such as 1435 meters would be too hard. That was why he decided to wait a bit more, waiting for the others to reach that location.

After around one minute, Kai suddenly signaled. "Now!"

She used her teleportation magic as quickly as possible.

Appearing right behind the enemy, Kai immediately charged at them with his swords, trying to break their formation. Seeing the condition of the general, Kai realized that she was on the same side.

Because of that, his charge was to save her. Tasha also took a few steps back before drawing her bows.

"Ambush!"

At this time, Michelle already swung her sword. "Shadow Slash!"

This attack instantly created a gap in their formation. Kai quickly took the chance to attack the one who had General Cindy. Two people tried to stop him, but Tasha's lightning arrow struck one of them while the other was attacked by Ayaka's firebird.

Kai only smiled as he snapped his finger in the middle of the enemy, creating a very disturbing sound.

"Lullaby."

Ding!

All of them tried to endure the excruciating pain in their ears, but he managed to loosen the grip of the one who carried the general. He took the general and threw her toward Michelle.

"Michelle!"

"I know." Michelle made a black magic circle, raising Cindy's shadow to grab her real self. "Shadow Manipulation Doll."

The shadow then brought her to Evan for him to heal her. After making sure that Evan was healing the general, she said to Ayaka before charging to help Kai, who was in combat with four enemies, "Ayaka, protect both of them."

Kai swung his swords toward the incoming attacks, which were spears. He instantly showed his powerful strength and blew these two away before ducking because the other two were shooting at him.

At this time, Michelle had arrived, swinging her two swords toward one of them. She decided to kill one person at a time while Kai fought the other three.

After knowing her for so long, he already knew what she wanted to do and completely held the other three for as long as he could.

Bam! Bam!

Kai turned his head, avoiding two other shots from the enemy. He then tried to kill the spear user with his sword.

Although the spear user could only be on the defensive because of his strength, Kai also couldn't pass through her. After clashing for another thirty seconds, Kai noticed that Michelle was going to use her Shadow Slash.

He swung both of his swords from above, trying to pin her to the ground. The spear user tried to fight back with her strength, but Kai suddenly released one of his swords as his hand moved toward her neck and grabbed it. He gritted his teeth and raised her before throwing her toward Michelle.

"Michelle!"

"Shadow-" Just when Michelle was about to use her Shadow Slash to attack her enemy, Kai's shout immediately made her turn her head. She halted the slash a little bit and made a swing on her back. "-Slash!"

"Oh no you won't!" Her opponent tried to stop her, but a ray of purple light suddenly pierced her head. It was Tasha's arrow. The reason why she hid after the first attack was for this moment.

With Tasha's arrow and Michelle's Shadow Slash having killed an enemy respectively, only two enemies were left. They tried to flee, but they could not because Kai immediately stopped them.

They tried to shoot him, but with his ears and reaction speed, no bullet managed to hit him. Seeing that Kai managed to corner them, Tasha immediately sent another arrow.

Unfortunately, they already knew Tasha's position from her previous attack. One of them shot her arrow, but little did they know, the arrow was only a distraction for Kai to catch up. He leaped toward the person who destroyed Tasha's arrow and swung his sword.

The other one wanted to stop him as she aimed her gun toward him, but unbeknownst to her, the moment Kai pursued them, Michelle followed right behind Kai so they couldn't see her figure. And at that moment, when Kai leaped toward his target, it gave Michelle a good vision of the other enemy.

"Shadow Slash!" She instantly swung her sword, killing her target. At the same time, Kai's sword already reached his target's neck and sliced it.

"Fu." Kai let out a long breath after killing her. Before looking at Michelle or the others, he turned his head toward Evan and General Cindy, who managed to raise her body again.

General Cindy walked toward Kai with a serious expression before saluting to him. "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, Evan Young and I might have been taken to their base. At that time, no one would be able to tell what they would do."

"Evan Young's safety is our mission, so it's not a problem," he simply said.

"So, what are you going to do now?" General Cindy asked.

"I think we'll wait here until the situation gets under control. After all, fighting the terrorists is not our mission," Kai said. "Though, I can hear footsteps of eight people coming toward us. They're about three minutes away."

"They are from the terrorist group." She nodded. "I would like to ask for your help to eliminate them. Since I can move now, I can handle one group of four easily while your group handles the other one. I will report your achievement to the army and school after this."

Kai took a glimpse of Michelle and Tasha's expressions to check their condition and nodded. "Only this once. We won't help with the base."

"That's enough."

"Evan Young, you stay here for a while. There should be no other enemy besides those eight in a five-kilometer radius," Kai assured.

"All right." Evan obediently nodded.

After seeing this, they decided to move out.

…

At the same time, the US military base was also in a state of chaos. They were preparing for a big raid according to the information Kai provided. At first, they didn't believe Kai's information, but because of one man, they decided to believe it and prepared the soldiers.

The mysterious man was none other than Michael Graham, Michelle's father. After hearing about their mission, he immediately gathered information about it and came to this military base. It was a mission that the government forced his future son-in-law to take.

He would surely force his way to join the mission. Even the general wouldn't be able to say anything after debating with him.

In just one hour, around four hundred elite soldiers were already lined up, waiting for orders.2

The general and Michael Graham walked toward them for a briefing. "We have the location of D'Ruler. It is in the empty city called Cameta. This will be a large-scale raid and I don't want any failure.

"Platoon 1 to 3 will be our vanguards while Platoon 4 to 7 will be our main attackers. Platoon 8 and 9 will set up a perimeter around Cameta to make sure no one escapes.

"If I can be honest with all of you, the one who found their location was only a student. Don't you guys feel ashamed to make a student risk his life to discover their location?"

"Yes, Sir!" All the soldiers present shouted at the same time.

"Then move out! Failure won't be tolerated!" The general shouted.

"Yes, Sir!"
