The core mbers of Umbra each filed out of the Purgatory Group to do their own thing. However before the entire group could leave, Shadowheart called them over. They all approached with curious expressions, wondering what this could be about.
They t Shadowheart in one of the conference rooms nearby and sat down in their seats. Even the heavily pregnant Rina and twins were here, though they were naturally not allowed to participate in any strenuous activities.
Shadowheart nodded to everyone and began speaking. "Its good to see everyone here. As you all know, we were busy fulfilling Draco's commands in conquering the mapped zones of Boundless slowly when we were kicked out by the update."
"Basically, that task was our biggest priority at the ti so we didn't have ti to do anything else. However since there an update going on and we don't know exactly how long it might take, there is sothing that we put on the backburner that has to be completed now."
The core mbers listed and nodded. Misery's eyes flashed as he smiled. "Sengo Muramasa right? The fucker was there fighting that old shaless mage and that fake cultivator. Yet he was also here in our world from what you guys reported back then."
Shadowheart nodded. "That's right. The God Serpents went to seize Maria, an old enemy of mine with huge links to Nathan Rothschild, the fifth councilor. However, I don't know how or why, but this councilor has a Titled God from Boundless working for him."
Xela pondered and shook her head. "Erm, I don't think we works for him, but rather works with him. At least, it didn't look that way to ."
Armonia rubbed his chin. "Its more likely that they both have the sa goal, so all we have to do is find out that gal and we have won half the battle."
The Showman smiled. "Leave that to . One look at him or anyone near him and I can have them spilling all their secrets… for a price."
Subli nodded at everyone. "Since we have a preliminary idea what to do, lets move out. Now that everyone has a bloodline at 99% purity, we don't need Draco and Eva to cover for us."
Subli turned to Misery. "Uncle Drunk Bastard, we'll need to rely on you to cover us up."
Misery patted her head gently with a smile. "Leave it to Little Princess."
With that decided, the entire group left. Since they didn't have to leave the Central Country, they collectively traveled using separate ans in order to not leave a trace. With their bloodlines and Control, it was easy to travel alone while leaving virtually no trace.
Eventually, the appeared in a certain mall within the state that Nathan Rothschild's estate was located in the Central country. While they might not know where Maria nor Sengo Muramasa were, they could definitely capture Nathan Rothschild himself and then find out from there.
They traveled together to the front of the large and expansive estate that was almost the size of a small town. The gate had hundreds of tourists and persons standing around taking pictures, so the core mber group were not too strange.
The core mbers inspected the place and saw hundreds of caras around as well as many security guards ard with weapons watching the tourists warily. They grouped up close to the entrance and were about to attack when Shadowheart spoke.
"Oh, and no warheads please." Shadowheart warned Misery and AP who were rubbing their hands and taking sothing out.
The expression they made in response as as if Shadowheart had told them to eat shit while everyone else got to dine fine wine. The core mbers laughed at the two hooligans who were about to throw a tantrum, but Shadowheart was one step ahead of them.
"Don't worry, how can I deprive my brothers? We'll blow the entire place when we leave, stylishly."
Hearing this, Misery and AP_berserker did 180 degrees.
"Haha, brother Shadowheart, why didn't you say so from the start? I almost doubted your love for us!"
"Sigh, at the end of the day, brother Shadowheart still has our back. That's good, that's good. I don't know what I would do if Brother Shadowheart ever abandoned us."
Obviously, due to the ruckus and the amount of ti, the security guards of the estate had noticed sothing strange and a car full of ard n existed the estate and rushed over to the core mbers who were about 44 in number.
The car ca to a skidding halt before the group and the ard n got down nacingly, lining up before the core mbers with their weapons at ease.
The leader of the n, an officer in a black rcenary uniform with a black beret on his head and black shades glared at the group.
"You bunch of loiterers, you better disperse from here in the next 3 seconds or we will be forced to take offensive action!" he roared with cruelty in his eyes.
Normally civvies would panic and flee before the sight of the muzzles and scatter away like rats before him, giving him and his boys sothing to laugh about later. However, this group before him did nothing of the sort.
"Ohh how scary! The big bad man with the big black gun is going to shoot us!" Bella, who was near the front, mocked in a seductive voice as she placed a hand on her hip.
When the rcenary leader saw her, his eyes lit up. His ferocity lessened and beca moire tempered, but he didn't completely soften.
"Hmph, madam, don't test my patience. This place is legally restricted by the World Council and we can truly take lethal action. I'd advise you step back but…"
He hesitated for a second and seed to be thinking on her behalf. "However, we can let you go in and take so pictures of the estate while your group waits outside."
Hearing this, the core mbers seed amused. This fellow couldn't be serious right? If Bella dared to follow him inside, she would likely never co out the sa way she entered, whether she liked it or not.
Bella humd and walked forward, seeming grateful for the opportunity. "Wow! Then I will have to thank handso sir for this lucky chance!"
The officer then smiled slightly, knowing that he had caught another piece of at for he and his boys to chew tonight. Hmph, if the other captains ca to beg, he might pass her over to their squads too to have a round before the disposed of her.
Can't ruin the fifth councilor's na after all.
As Bella got closer, the anticipation in their eyes grew, up until she appeared in front of the captain and a giant bunch of blood red vine appeared from her back and stabbed at all the rcenaries.
The n didn't even have a second to scream before their were pierced in the chest, the blood from their bodies sucked away instantly, leaving only dried husks.
Since others had been paying attention to what went on here from the side due to the uniqueness o the situation,l they saw what happened and were imdiately frightened. Many people scread and began to run while the guards at the estate raised their weapons and began firing wantonly.
Misery snapped a finger and giant barrier enveloped the entire estate grounds, preventing those within from escaping and also making it such that those outside could not see what was going on inside.
Happy Saint smiled causally and took a step forward. He raised his hand much like Neo from that iconic scene, stopping all the bullets that rushed towards the core mbers in the air.
Bella then turned around to face Nightwalker with a glare. "I was going to infiltrate and find out more. Why did you do that?!"
Nightwalker snorted. "Hmph, I don't like the way he looked at you. How dare they covet what's mine?"
Bella's face beca red and she harrumphed. "I don't belong to you or anyone."
Nightwalker simply glanced at her playfully. She was about to open his mouth and reveal so secret, but Bella quickly rushed over and closed his mouth before he could speak, making him chuckle.
The seductive woman's face showed dissatisfaction and embarrassnt, and she couldn't help but glance at Nightwalker with resentnt. Nightwalker raised his arms up defensively and spoke quickly.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll buy you that diamond ring you wanted to make it up to you."
Bella seed to be mollified and walked away with a harrumph. anwhile, Noble Writer, who was nearby, had a question mark pop up above his head.
"But we're all core mbers and our wealth is close to each other. If she wants a diamond ring, she can easily buy it herself, she doesn't need Henry for that."
Kronalord patted his shoulder and spoke softly. "When sothing you want is bought for you by the one you love, it has a different weight than buying it yourself."
Noble Writer seed to understand but was confused again. What the fuck, how co the stoic and seemingly unromantic Krona Lord was very perceptive towards emotions?!
Kronalord seed to read Noble Writers thoughts and smiled amiably. "There was a girl where I used to work, called Grace. She used to cook for and sew all my torn clothes up from when I was young to the day I left."
"Because of the danger of our life and our position, I can't rightly bring here here, so I had to put her behind , but I will never forget her. I will also never forget the things she taught about life and how to love." Kronalord finished with a glance towards the battle that was ongoing.
Noble Writer sighed and patted Krona's shoulder without saying anything, feeling like he had finally co to understand this usually taciturn and quiet man. He made it his plan to help him out one way or another.
anwhile at the front, Oga Raider was skating on a manifested flow of water, humming the Pirates of the Caribbean the as he took out a custom made, wavy blue Kalashnikov and began firing back casually.
Soon, he ca to a stop near Kronalord who was rubbed his chin.
"I thought you pirates like flintlocks?" Krona asked with a playful smile.
Oga laughed and ca to stand beside Krona. "I an I definitely do, but flintlocks are outmoded in this era. Gotta stick to the tis you know, and besides, the almighty Ak-47 can never fail. This thing even works underwater!"
"Now co on, your aquagenesis on land is better than mine. Give a big wave and let's make a big splash!" Oga said with a look of excitent.
Krona shook his head with a smile and then snapped his fingers, imdiately, a huge wave ca from behind and swallowed up Oga and himself, splitting into two separate entities as both n charged forward and began attacking.
anwhile, Sanji and Akainu were avoiding the water filled with area with black faces. As fiery gentlen, the thing they hated the most was water of this nature, which was possessive of bloodline power because it countered them.
They could only choose a different direction as so guards rushed up to the two of them while holding bazookas. They fired unscrupulously, realizing that these bunch of freaks likely could not be taken down by re bullets.
As for Sanji, he simply raised his leg and disappeared, moving so fast that none of the n could follow. anwhile, Akainu continued to walk forward calmly, his cigar still at the edge of his lips. The rockets struck him badly and exploded all at once.
The soldiers who shot the rockets looked gratified and excited, thinking that they had finally avenged their brothers by killing one of these freaks. Naturally, their faces fell and were filled with despair when they saw Akainu walked out of the dust unhard, parts of his body reforming from magma.
Akainu grinned and pointed upwards. "You should probably look up."
