According to the plan, the mont Blake was done with his fight he was to help Castiel before going to Brian.
Because of the water and earth elents, Blake wasn't worried about Brian, because he was a walking turtle.
'How many are we looking at?' Blake asked when Castiel ca within the system's detection range.
[It's only one but I think that is already being handled.] The system reported.
On reaching Castiel, Blake saw 5 solid black tendrils that held a rcenary in place and were draining her vitality.
"Right on ti." On seeing Blake, Castiel made the tip of the tendrils stab into the heart and skull of the female rcenary.
According to the information the rcenaries had gotten about the trio. Blake was the greatest treat followed by Brian before Castiel that was why he was why only 3 normal mbers were sent to kill him.
The reason why he was assessed so low was that he was inside the carriage all through the chase. So he was assud to be the weakest among the 3.
With the situation in the area having been dealt with, Blake and Castiel rushed over to Brian's location, and to their surprise, one of the rcenaries was dead.
Brian was being protected by 2 layers of water dos which were continuously bombarded by spells.
"Fucking give up, we can keep this up all day." The rcenaries had begun finding it annoying to break Brian's turtle shell, but that was when they noticed Blake and Castiel arriving.
"Did they manage to escape?" The rcenaries were shocked to the core when they saw 2 of their targets approaching them.
Unless they spectated Blake and Castiel's battle no one would believe that 2 champions were able to beat 8 champions at the sa level and above. That was why they never thought that their fellow mbers were all dead.
"Which one are we taking as evidence?" Castiel asked as the 2 of them approached the rcenaries.
"I think the one on the right is more likely to spill the beans." Blake said with a creepy smile on his face.
At first, the 2 rcenaries were confused by what was giving the 2 so much confidence, but soon they started piecing everything together.
"How is it possible? No, soone must have helped them." The minds of the rcenaries were in disarray.
If they had defeated the other 8 that ans there was no need to struggle, but what if they were bluffing.
While the rcenaries were struggling with their conflicting thoughts. Brian sent out water tendrils that the snapped head of one, while knocking out the other with a punch.
"That went well…" Castiel said.
"We need to get out off here with that guy. We are not sure if more would be more coming." Blake said as he made the system scan the environnt for both beast and human.
"How are you guys so calm? We just killed people." Brian was puzzled after seeing expressionless faces of his 2 friends.
"It's very simple. Never show rcy to whoever plans on killing, because they will never do the sa for you." Blake said as he picked up the unconscious rcenary.
"I know, but…" Brian couldn't understand or explain how he was feeling.
"It might be against your morals, but think of it this way. If you don't kill those trying to take your life, then you won't get to see all those you love back on Earth." Blake said.
"Besides it's not like we are killing the innocents. We are trying to stay alive so that we can et the ones we love, but people are making things hard for us." If sothing was to stop him from seeing his mom, Blake wouldn't hesitate to kill it.
The group quickly left the area and began heading to the city, before the dead bodies attracted beasts.
On their journey back, there was an awkward silence between them even in their mind link.
"Ermm. Shouldn't we be talking about who hired the rcenaries?" Castiel broke the awkward silence between them.
"I was thinking about it. Only a noble can afford to hire rcenaries, is there by any chance you guys might have crossed paths with a noble?" Blake asked but the 2 shook their heads.
"Since they sent more people to deal with you, it is most likely from you." Castiel said.
"Those in the academy don't know about my life as an adventurer. So, who could it possibly be?" Blake thought.
[I think I have an idea of who it might be.] The system showed Blake's mory of his encounter with Lambert.
"That guy? What did I do to him?" Blake was confused. He had long forgotten about the encounter, but one thing for sure was that he was never rude to him.
[Well, we are talking about nobles here. Your refusal can be a big offense to them.] The system said.
"Even if it is, he should punish him not try to kill him." Castiel stated.
"That can't apply to all nobles. So still have their humanity, while so don't even see commoners as humans." Blake said.
Infinite realm was just like Earth, but worse. On Earth, so rich people greatly despise the less privilege and if not for human right laws they would have most likely done inhumane things to them.
Unfortunately, the human right laws of Infinite realm wasn't as advanced as that of Earth and the presence of magic made it easier to carry out these unjust acts.
"So, what are we going to do about him?" Castiel asked.
"To be honest, I don't know. We can't eliminate him because he is a noble and we don't have any evidence that leads to him. So, there's nothing much we can about it." Blake replied.
[Actually, there is. Bryon.] The system said.
"Yeah, the problem now is how to get to him." Blake thought.
Going through Castiel was not an option because he had no idea about their relationship with his brother.
"uhh"
It was then that the rcenary regained consciousness, but before he make heads of where he was, Blake knocked him out.
