Chapter 206: Banquet [4]
—Spurt!
"Haa…haa…Damn it!"
Extracting the tip of her spear out of the corpse of a villain, lissa cursed. This was the fifth person she had killed. With combat not being her forte, lissa was obviously easily tired. Her breathing was rugged.
If not for her spear, she would've been in deep trouble.

Na : Blood-line Spear
Rank : D
[Bloodlust control] - Helps users identify if there is any bloodlust directed towards them.
===
With the effect of the spear, by feeling their bloodlust, lissa was less prone to sneak attacks.
This was specially made for her since she did not have a battle instinct as others did. With her spending most part of the day inside of a lab, it was only natural that she didn't have a battle instinct.
Battle senses could only be developed through experience. Without experience, such a thing was not possible.
—Shuuuua!
Suddenly, lissa's spear vibrated. Leaning back, the sharp tip of a reaper passed by her grazing the side of her cheek.
"Hup!"
Turning around, lissa took a step back and swung the spear horizontally creating a beautiful arc.
—Spurt!
Blood spilled everywhere, and a female villain fell to the ground.
Ignoring the corpse, lissa wiped the side of her cheek, and muttered, "Haa…that's the sixth"
Aside from the effect of the skill, the spear was extrely sharp giving her an advantage over opponents of the sa level. As long as her opponent was not a lot stronger than her, she could hold her own.
"Haaaaa—!"
Before she could relax, a large blade slashed in her direction. Feeling the bloodlust, lissa instinctively straightened her spear and blocked the attack.
—Clank!
Loud sparks flew everywhere and lissa took ten steps back.
'Damn it, he's stronger than '
From the initial exchange, she knew that her opponent was stronger than her. She might be in trouble this ti.
—Swoosh!
"Haa!"
Without giving lissa any ti to think, her opponent slashed vertically towards her. Once again, lissa straightened her spear.
'Damn it!'
—Spurt!
Just as lissa was about to block the attack, a silver streak brushed past her and impaled the man in the head. Blood spilled everywhere.
"Haa…Ha…Thanks!"
Sighing in relief, lissa turned around and nodded her head. In the distance, Amanda held her bow and repeatedly shot arrows supporting anyone she could. Her cold eyes surveilled the periter like a hawk. Nothing escaped her vision.
Standing in front of her, multiple students ford a protective shield. Like this, Amanda reaped through the lives of multiple villains.
Naturally, she attracted the attention of a lot of villains as well.
"Stop her!"
"Attack her!"
Whiiiing—!
Distracted by Amanda for a mont, a whistling sound arose next to lissa. Despite her spear warnings, the attack was too fast.
'Crap!'
With her eyes wide open, the back of lissa's hair raised. She knew that she was in trouble.
—Spurt!
However, right when she thought she was going to die, she heard a splattering sound. Turning her head around, she spotted Jin silently standing on top of the corpse of an asian looking man.
Taking his eyes off of the corpse, Jin coldly looked at lissa for a mont before he disappeared.
Shiiiiiik—!
He then reappeared behind a caucasian looking villain a couple of ters away from her. Slitting his throat the villain instantly died.
"Haa…haa…"
Recovering from the shock of almost dying, lissa's breathing was extrely rugged. Staring at Jin's cold face in the distance, lissa thought, 'Is he on his period?'
…
"Haa…haa…this should be far enough"
Leaning against a tree, Professor Thibaut caught his breath. In a matter of minutes, he had run very far from the establishnt. Approximately five kiloters.
'I'm screwed!'
Despite having run so far, he knew that his days were numbered. With the plan failing, he knew that all responsibility would befall him.
"Fuck, what went wrong!"
He did everything according to the plan.
He ca in early and installed all of the devices that he was given. Nothing should've gone wrong.
Moreover, how could the bla fall on him if the devices malfunctioned?
He was a manager, not a technical expert.
"Who's there!?"
Sensing sothing, Thibaut's head snapped towards the distance. A blue hue mixed with black threads emanated from his body.
"Woah, I ca in peace"
Suddenly a youth with deep blue eyes appeared fifty ters away from Professor Thibaut. Scratching the back of his head, the youth awkwardly said.
"Fancy seeing you here Professor, you also running away?"
The youth was in fact .
Catching up to Professor Thibaut wasn't actually that hard. Despite its flaws, drifting steps was a movent art that was perfect for chasing soone.
Knowing the general direction of where Professor Thibaut ran, I caught up to him in no ti.
Though I do have to say that the mana consumption of drifting steps was no joke. About 1/6 of my mana was gone.
"Huh? Who are you"
Startled, the hue around professor Thibaut intensified. Alarm bells rang in his mind.
'Who was he? How did he find ? He looks like a student?'
"Hm, that hurts. It's professor, Ren…Ren Dover"
A hurt look appeared on my face.
I've been attending his classes for eight months and he completely forgot everything about ? Was my charm still not high enough?
Squinting his eyes and getting a closer look, Professor Thibaut suddenly rembered, 'That's right, isn't he the youth that appeared all over the news? The one that the higher-ups told to take a closer look at? Wait…'
Professor Thibaut suddenly flashed a brilliant smile, "Ah, it's you. What are you doing here?"
"Running of course. It'd be stupid of if I didn't run after what I witnessed"
Secretly disgusted by his smile, I shrugged my shoulder and casually answered.
"That so…you ca at just the right ti"
Staring at , a thought struck Professor Thibaut, 'What if I killed him? Would the higher-ups pardon for today's blunder?'
This seed plausible.
In fact, the more professor Thibaut thought about it, the more convinced he was about his conjunction. A trace of hope appeared in his eyes
'Yes, if I kill him, there's a chance that I not only will get pardoned but awarded too!'
With the death of such high-profiled talent, the Monolith would surely reward him. Recalling sothing, Professor Thibaut subtly turned his watch.
[Target]
[Na : Ren Dover]
[Rank : E ]
[Age : 16]
[Status : Dead or Alive]
[Reward : 5000 rit points]
Opening the bounty list and staring at the reward list, Professor Thibaut's heart raced.
'5000 rit points? Yes, this should be enough to save my life!'
Since cash was traceable, the Monolith used a system called rit points. With them, all mbers of the Monolith could exchange the points for items and artifacts.
At that mont, Professor Thibaut saw a ray of hope. 5000 rit pints was more than enough to save his life.
He had to seize this chance at all costs!
"Keumm…Keumm…professor what are you doing?"
Perfectly reading Professor Thibaut's thoughts, I coughed.
'At least hide that smile off of your face'
"? Nothing…"
Snapping out of it, Professor Thibaut smiled savagely.
Shiiing—!
Without answering my question, Professor Thibaut pulled out a saber from his dinsional space. Having never seen Professor Thibaut fight before, He looked a bit funny holding onto the saber.
Still, the pressure coming from his body was nothing to scoff at.
"Wait, you're a professor. You need to be more civil about things. Let's talk things out"
I raised my hands and protested. Why must people always fight during conflicts?
Words worked just as well.
"Shut up and die!"
Professor Thibaut sneered and imbued his saber with magic power.
Wiing—!
Just like a laser, a horizontal blade of magic power shot up from the tip of the saber. But that only lasted for a second. The sword's blade flickered, then disappeared. Following which it appeared a couple of ters before .
Staring at the incoming energy slash, I calmly placed my hand on the sheat of my sword.
'I guess he's not soone that likes to talk…here goes nothing'
Click—!
Tapping onto the grip of my sword, a subtle clicking sound resounded across the area.
…
BAAAANG!
"Impossible!"
A figure crashed against the side of the walls. Cracks appeared everywhere.
"It's no use, Edmund!"
Calmly walking forward, Donna's whip gently caressed the ground. Stopping a couple of ters before Edmund, Donna triumphantly smiled.
"You've already used your skill before, you won't be able to use it anyti soon"
Depending on skills, generally, there was a cooldown ti. Edmund's skill also had one, hence why once Donna found him, she easily took him down.
"Khh…how did you know I was here?"
With his legs broken and his arms dislocated, Edmund knew that he was finished.
At this mont he only had one thought in his mind, 'How could this have happened?'
He made sure to cover his traces perfectly when moving to the second floor. Donna shouldn't have been able to sense him.
It was understandable before since he purposely leaked out so of his energy. But he had not leaked anything out this ti!
This shouldn't have been possible!
"How you say?"
In fact, Donna was just as shocked to have found Edmund here. If not for Kevin's persistence, she would've never been able to find him.
Thinking of Kevin, Donna frowned, 'Just how did he know?'
—Kacha!
Staring at Donna waiting for an answer, instead of an answer, Edmund suddenly saw a black streak flash past his eyes. A cracking sound followed suit and his vision turned black.
—Thump!
His unconscious body leaned to the side.
"Like I would let you buy ti…"
With a lot of experience under her belt, Donna didn't waste any ti. Extending her hand, a cracking sound resounded across the space and she knocked Edmund out.
Why talk to him now when she could talk to him during questioning?
BAAANG!
Suddenly another explosion rang from the distance. Taking a peek, Donna's smiled.
Waving at Donna, Kevin shouted.
"Miss Longbern, we're done on our side too"
Holding onto the head of a blonde individual, Kevin's chest heaved up and down unevenly. Apart from his hair and clothes being a ss, he looked perfectly fine.
Wizzz—! Wizzz—!
"Done here as well!"
Behind him, a black portal slowly shrank. Emma patted her hands in satisfaction.
Donna took care of Edmund, Kevin took care of the villain, and Emma took care of the portal.
That was the plan.
Though close, Kevin was able to overpower the villain, and the plan succeeded.
With Edmund caught and the portal broken, Kevin knew that everything was over.
"Good job"
Donna also knew this, hence why she was happy. What could've been a terrible situation was resolved quite easily.
'I guess today is my lucky day…'
