Chapter 102: Overdrive (1)

In the end, the reason the creature managed to escape was that everybody underestimated it.

In fact, when the creature manipulated the A-Rank monsters to attack the black-dressed men the first time, its goal was never to escape. It knew that escaping under the watch of so many black-dressed men was night impossible.

No, its goal was to find the person holding the control stone. When it confirmed that the control stone was in the hands of the leader, it achieved its goal.

The rest was to wait. Wait for an opportunity to kill him.

The leader of the black-dressed men knew that the creature was cunning, but he never expected it to be this cunning. Since the start, it had managed to control a creature without injecting its flesh and blood on it.

It was the worm, the one that killed the leader.

That was the reason the control stone did not work on it.

That was the reason the worm could burrow in the earth. It used magic to separate the earth and stones and move quickly.

In the end, the creature's plan was successful. Against all the odds, it managed to escape the black-dressed men's control.

Now, it was free.

Free to slaughter as much as it wanted.

*Screeeeeech!!!*

The cry of the creature reverberated in the city and was answered by hundreds and thousands of monsters. The bloodthirsty monsters bowed to its master and welcomed its freedom.

Then, the feast of flesh and blood started.

*Roar!!!*

Houses were destroyed, doors were knocked down, children were torn apart, and parents died defending their children. It was as though the monsters had turned berserk, killing even more savagely than before.

Screams of pain and fear filled the city streets. The adventurers and soldiers still defending the city watched how their comrades were slaughtered, falling under the jaws of ferocious beasts and dying with expressions of despair.

"Hey! You need to stop! We need to stop that creature first!" The black-dressed demigod shouted to Sebastian, but Sebastian ignored him. He seemed not to care about the creature or the monsters killings the citizens.

Since the moment he learned that the mysterious demigod belonged to Returning Dusk, it was as though nothing else mattered.

The black-dressed demigod clicked his tongue. 'Damn it, what is with this crazy man!' He then looked down at the city and his expression turned ugly.

In the current situation, his priority should be to recover the creature, however, doing so right now was the same as giving up his life to the demigod fighting him.

Thus, he could only go for the next best option.

With a grunt, he coursed his mana through his body and released it with a blast towards Sebastian!

"Die!"

Sebastian received the attack with a snort. Then, he responded with a sword slash.

But suddenly, he realized that the black-dressed demigod was already two-hundred meters away.

"Where do you think you are going!?"

"Crazy man, I'm not fighting anymore! I need to report it to the master!"

After saying that, the demigod rushed out of the city.

Behind him, Sebastian did not hesitate to chase after him.

At the same time, Bloed, Regina, Liu Ying, Sara (still unconscious and being carried by Regina), and the city lord were surrounded by monsters. Ten A-Rank monsters were followed by hordes of weaker monsters that bared their fangs to them.

Monsters of all the ranks were attacking the city lord. D-Rank monsters, C-Ranks monsters, and B-Ranks monsters attacked him nonstop. They disregarded their own allies and attacked crazily to the city lord without caring about their lives.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" The city lord bellowed and released sword slashes after sword slashes, but his situation quickly worsened. Under the besiegement of hundred of monsters and ten A-Rank monsters lying in wait, his death was just a matter of time.

Bloed and the others were in the same situation. Bloodthirsty monsters charged towards Leto without regard for their lives. From birds to wolves, they attacked the group wildly.

Bloed and the others fought them while escaping the encirclement, but the number of monsters was crazy. Even with Leto in its battle mode killing the monsters that charged towards itself, the situation was not looking good.

The reason was the A-Rank monsters watching the group and waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Fortunately, Regina had acted and beaten the A-Ranks back when they tried to attack, but even so, the situation was critical.

"Master…" Regina looked at the monsters and frowned. Bloed expression was grave too. Their current situation was similar to the one they faced in the Exiled Lands but much worse. Just the number of A-Rank monsters was ten times higher!

Moreover, there was still the strange creature watching them. Bloed could feel that this creature was a lot stronger than the one they killed when leaving the exiled lands. Just the number of monsters it controlled was proof of its strength.

"Bloed, we need to hurry up or we will not escape!" Liu Ying exclaimed.

Bloed furrowed his brows. Currently, he had two options.

The first one was to activate Leto's flying mode. With the speed of Leto's flight, they could easily leave the city and escape.

However, it meant leaving countless innocent people to die.

The second option was to do something about it. But Bloed ran the risk of exposing his identity or Regina strength to Sebastian, who could be nearby.

In the end, Bloed heaved a tired sigh.

"Regina, I'll use that."

Regina was startled. One second later, her expression changed. "Master, are you sure? If you want, I can make a move."

Bloed shook his head. "No, I don't want to reveal your true strength as easily. Besides, I think it's the perfect time to test it in combat."

Regina did not stop Bloed anymore after hearing that. Instead, she curved her lips up.

"I understand. Go all out, then, master. I'll be here to protect you."

Bloed smiled. Then, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, his blue biomechanical pupils were glowing with electric arcs of light.
