"What is going on?" A middle-aged man stormed out of his mansion, finding an explosion coming from afar. "Isn't that…"
"Sir!" A butler came to him in panic. "It appears someone is attacking the Black Cat Organization. We're not sure what's happening right now, but they look like they're being overwhelmed by something."
"Shit. The Black Cat has done a lot of things for us. We can't lose them." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth. "If they're gone, we won't be provided with some summoner slaves anymore. I will help them. You bring our men and chase after me."
The middle-aged man immediately leaped into the air, leaping from one roof to another.
"!!!" However, he abruptly noticed an incoming presence and instinctively drew his sword, hitting something on his right.
The opposite party smacked the blade with a small tobacco pipe and deflected his sword to the right side. The ena from the sword burst and struck the building, almost destroying it.
"Who?!" The man was startled, not expecting there was such a strong person inside his city.
Bella smiled while exhaling some smoke. "You have to play with me here, old man."
"Who are you? Why are you attacking the Black Cat? What is your purpose?" The man leaped toward her, but Bella simply released a bit more smoke, forming a small humanoid that punched the man's sword.
He looked surprised because he never thought a smoke would be hard enough to stop his blade.
"What's wrong? I'm playing with you here, so shouldn't you feel happy?" Bella smiled.
The man didn't realize that the fog in the area had thickened, covering a part of the city.
"I don't know who you are, but you won't be able to do anything on my watch!" The man summoned his familiars.
"Is that so? Well, we'll see how strong the so-called tyrant of this city is," she smirked, summoning the same number of familiars.
While they were fighting, the butler had assembled their men, ready to lead them to the Black Cat Organization.
"Brothers. Something is going on in the city, so we'll assist the boss to take care of the problem. Let's—" When the butler was about to lead them, a massive magic circle appeared out of nowhere.
It created a formation that could explode at any moment, startling everyone inside.
"This level of formation…"
Some of the high-ranking summoners were able to recognize it, but none of them were qualified to challenge it. In addition, the culprit must have prepared it for a long time, so one careless action might actually take their life.
Christopher was just standing behind a wall with a smile. "This should be enough, right? I don't really want to show myself even though I've worn the mask…"
The extermination of the Black Cat Organization continued. Their strongest summoner had just lost two familiars to Revon and Neyeid in just a moment.
He knew how strong these two were, so the only thing he could do was run.
That was right. He ran to the main gate, planning to work together with the tyrant to escape from the predicament.
Unfortunately for him, Revon caught up to him, punching the man. The latter tilted his body and caught Revon's fist from the side before clinging to his arm to dodge all the force from that punch.
After that, his familiars approached Revon from all sides.
"Heh." Revon smirked. He let the familiars from the right hit his body directly while his other hand grabbed one of the familiars and tossed it to another familiar so that the two would fall together.
Then, Neyeid swept in and struck both familiars in rapid succession. After killing them, Neyeid moved toward the leader.
Not wanting to die, the leader removed himself from Neyeid's arm before taking on Neyeid with both hands. "Who are you guys?!"
The leader punched Neyeid's blades as if his hands were made of metal. The two clashed over ten times, but the moment there was a distance between them, the leader noticed that his fists were bleeding.
In addition, Revon was prepared behind him and caught his right arm and ripped it apart.
"Aaarrgggh!" The leader screamed in pain while the familiars charged at Revon. Unfortunately for him, Neyeid closed the distance between them in a single leap.
The leader tried to stop him again with his fists, but Neyeid clashed a few more times before overwhelming him to make him expose his weakness.
The moment he found it, Neyeid sliced the guy's arm.
"Agghhhh. You!" The leader shouted in anger. If not for Neyeid, he wouldn't have to die here. Hence, all he needed to do was to kill Neyeid, even if it meant dragging him down with him.
Sadly, there was no way Revon would allow it. Once he focused on Neyeid, Revon appeared behind him, his cold voice so sharp that it felt like their chest was being ripped apart. "Where do you think you're going? We're not done here."
The leader turned around and punched Revon, but Revon matched his enemy's movement and ended up crushing the guy's finger bones.
"!!!" The leader was about to scream, albeit Neyeid was already behind him, placing his swords right on the back of his neck.
"It's over." Neyeid sent the head flying without mercy. Neyeid turned around, saying, "There are too many of them, Revon. We have to clean up fast. Don't let Bella work too hard."
"I know." Revon nodded. Both of them leaped forward.
Nathan had been observing them the whole time.
"How are they? They're strong, right?" Evelyn crossed her arms. Even though she didn't show it, it looked like Evelyn was proud of her decision to take them in.
"Yes." Nathan nodded.
"Do you need to change your strategy?"
"For the time being, no. I will make adjustments if it's necessary." Nathan paused for a moment. Considering the atmosphere became awkwardly silent, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, why are you so fixated on the Bloody Banquet and your revenge? What was actually happening in that banquet?"
