392: Why did you kill them?

Why did you kill them?

Her words resounded loud and clear in Mayor Chan's ears. After they left the room, Mayor Chan was left alone. There was a bitter expression on his face. "This is bad... really really bad..." Mayor Chan muttered.

A moment later,

"Blergh!" Mayor Chan was finally able to vomit. He was holding it the whole time. The strong smell of blood turned his stomach upside-down.

….

In other parts of the city, the battle continues.

Inside the city's tallest skyscraper, the group of vigilantes who rushed inside the building was currently on the fourth floor of the building. They quickly defeated the guards guarding those floors.

Inside the VIP room, anxiety could be seen on the faces of the VIPs.

"Principal Mar! What now?" Question of one of the VIPs.

A bead of sweat was drawing on Principal Mar Mari's face. "I'm sorry, I can't contact the office of the mayor and the military. It seemed like the connection was lost."

"What did you say?!" It was an angry response to him.

At that moment, Adam Praeter stepped forward. "Maybe there was a connection hacking because my call was also cut off suddenly. In this case, I think only conventional radio can work."

"Does this mean that it was not just an ordinary terrorize group that is attacking the city?" Sunday's question.

"It seems like that, Madam Sunday. It was a well-planned attack if you look at it in the bigger picture," Jack suspected.

"You may be right," Adam agreed with them.

"If that's the case. What are we going to do?" Question of one of the VIPs.

"We have to calm down first. I'm sure the elders already know what is currently happening. I'm sure help will definitely come soon."

"If not?" One of the VIPs cut in.

"...." Principal Mar was having trouble finding words to respond. Everyone was starting to panic. So he could not give a half-baked response. He also couldn't lie to them.

"If not… then there's only an option left for us. It is to negotiate."

After saying this the door of the room suddenly opened. And one of the soldiers assigned to guard the outside suddenly entered.

"Principal Mar, the opponents have reached the fifth floor."

What?!

Everyone was shocked to hear.

While everyone was in distress of the situation, one person among them was secretly grinning.

...

With the cooperation of Instructor Goki, Musk, and Almina, they quickly defeated the fifteen members of the vigilante group.

After Stinky turned his attention to the chakrams, Maena didn't miss the opportunity. She immediately fired an arrow at him. The arrow pierced Stinky's shoulder.

Guh! A groan escaped his mouth.

"Dammit!" He tried to retaliate. However, even before he could aim his weapon at them, he was hit again in the leg which caused his knee to weaken. In addition, the part where the arrows hit him gradually turned to ice.

When his comrades noticed this, they fired at the group. But Instructor Torr blocked them by summoning another Earth Wall.

Stinky tried to move his body so that the ice would not spread but to no avail. His whole body was still turned to ice in the next second.

"Leader!"

Everyone was stunned and their morale weakened after seeing the leader of their group turn to an ice statue. As a result, the two chakrams found a chance to sow havoc on them. Their modified body did nothing to the blade of the chakrams. After the chakrams hit them, both have visible vertical wounds on their bodies.

Now, there was only one opponent left. But, they noticed that he seemed to have no intention of attacking. He also trembled as he gazed in the direction of Yman's group.

When they noticed that it slowly lifted the portable object like a magnifying glass, everyone was alarmed. At that moment, he, the holder of the Revelation Glass, tried to find the source of the darkness in the glass. But, when he focused his Revelation Glass on two people, it suddenly showed cracks, then shattered the next second.

What?

He could not believe what had happened. How was his Revelation Glass broken? It was unbelievable. He glanced at those two and muttered.

"M-monster…" after saying this, an arrow hit him in the shoulder. His face twitched in pain and he tried to run away. However, before he could escape, his body turned to ice.

A few seconds later,

"Good job, everyone!" Goki shouted.

After finishing all the opponents, Yman noticed Maena approached him and asked, "Why did you kill them?"

"Eh?" Yman was taken aback at that question. Seeing his nonchalant response, "Forget it," Maena said as she walked away.

Yman frowned. He didn't know why Maena was asking him that. He glanced around and saw Almina also seemed to want to say something to him. But she seems to be hesitant. Yman decided not to pay any attention to it.

Soon the two chakrams also disappeared like smoke.

At that moment, "C-Crimson…" he heard Rea's call. He also noticed she moved closer to him, though they were already sticking together to the point that their skins touched each other. Because of what she showed, Goki and the others suddenly admired her. Now, everyone was asking her what kind of ability she has.

Yman understood that her calling him meant asking for help. A bead of sweat appeared at the back of his head. This princess… she wasn't just using him as a bodyguard. She also seemed to want him to make him her preacher.

Since Rea was an Encan, her hearing ability was unique. Other than that, she was from royal blood. So her ability was incomparable to other Encans.

However, because they had to hide her true identity, Yman simply said, "Rea is gifted with high sound sensory ability. As you have seen, she can detect sounds from afar. And not only that, her sound detection is not ordinary. She can understand and know the abilities used by the people who are the source of the sound as you have witnessed already." Yman himself explained it to them.

"Wow…" next to them, Yana's eyes twinkled when she heard what her brother said. Although Yana knew about Rea's true identity, only now did she find out about her ability.

Upon hearing what Crimson said, everyone was amazed at Rea.

"Nice!"

"Miss Rea, we're thankful for you!"

"Good job."

"Honestly, she also knows how to use a unique ability besides that," Yman added as if he was boasting.

Hearing that, made Rea blinked her eyes several times. "Wait wait wait! Crimson, what are you saying?"

Now, everyone seems to be curious about what ability Yman was referring to.

At that moment Yman felt a little pain on his side when Rea pinched him. "Aw… W-Why?" He whispered the question.

"Hehe," although he heard her slight laughter, her tone was not the tone of a happy person. "Mr. Crimson," Rea called in a low volume.

"Y-yes?" Yman whispered a question. A chill ran down Yman's back as he felt Rea's menacing aura at that moment.

"Why did you make the situation even worse?" Rea whispered back.

"Ah?" Yman noticed that he could not find an answer. Rea looked at him as if smiling but also not.1

Yman actually meant to tease Rea a little. Though, he really has no intention of revealing to others Rea's true ability because of the risk that it could reveal her whereabouts.

"Let's go. We must hurry. We can't waste any more time," Instructor Torr urged them.

"Yeah!" Yman was the first to agree. Soon, everyone responded as well. Yman was secretly thankful for Instructor Torr.

Looking at the fast retreating back of Crimson, Rea could only sigh before following them. Well. It's fine since the others seems already forgot it.

Nonetheless, as they got closer and closer to their destination, they were able to encounter opponents from various groups of vigilantes.

Thanks to Rea's help, they managed to avoid engaging some of them. He didn't expect her to be so cooperative with them. Yman was unaware that the reason Rea was doing this was that she wanted to show that she was more capable than Almina. 

However, she had to admit Almina was good at fighting. In the group, there was only Yana who was doing nothing. Although she wanted to help, her brother would not allow her.

"We finally arrived," Goki muttered.

After several minutes, they finally arrived at the gate where Yman revived the two guards. The area around the gate was silent. But everyone noticed a sign of battle. The bloodstain was still there. But Yman could not find them everywhere. Perhaps they already went to the medical facility.

Since the gate was already destroyed, they could enter anytime they wanted.

They looked at each other's eyes. "Let's go?" Asked Goki.

"Yeah!"

Everyone agreed. They were about to step forward but stopped when "Wait! Someone is approaching," Rea said. 

At that moment, from their left, "You guys!" Someone called. Everyone was already staring in that direction as Rea already told them.

Maena was even aiming her bow, but after seeing the uniform of that person. "Wait!" Goki stopped her.

Yman also remembered the person. It was one of the guards he revived a while ago.

"Are you from the military?"

"No, we're from the academy," Goki was the one who answered.

"Oh, by the way, please find some help. The facility is under attack!"

"What?!"
