Chapter 88: The Battle of Calice City (5)


    "Those bastards! To think they nned to use me to harm Bloed!" Liu Ying punched the city wall angrily and created a crater on it.


    Currently, she had left the defensive line together with Gina. On the way, Gina had exined to her what was happening.


    When Liu Ying heard that the city lord was nning to use her as a hostage to get Bloed''s saber, Liu Ying was furious.


    "Where are they now?" Liu Ying asked.


    "They will reach here soon. Sister Liu Ying, we need to leave. Let''s go to find Bloed."


    " I understand. Do you know where he is?"


    Gina nodded. She closed her eyes for a moment before pointing in a direction.


    "That way."


    An expression of surprise appeared on Liu Ying''s face. "How do you know?"


    "No idea." Gina shook her head. "I just know. I think it''s the talent Bloed said, [Precognition]."


    Liu Ying nodded in understanding. Although she did not know much about Gina''s talent, Bloed had confirmed its existence, and Liu Ying trusted Bloed.


    So, she decided to trust Gina''s directions.


    But before that.


    "Sister Liu Ying, you need to take care of the people keeping an eye in you first."


    "Mm? Where are they?"


    Gina smiled and pointed to a building. Aware of her meaning, Liu Ying smiled savagely and walked towards the building.


    Thirty seconds and two screams of painter, Liu Ying had taken care of the men.


    "It''s done." Liu Ying threw the body of a man away indifferently.


    Gina looked at her with an admiring expression. "Sister Liu Ying, you are very strong."


    Liu Ying grinned.


    Before she could say anything, though, Gina''s face turned pale.


    "Gina, what happened?"


    " The shadows Sister Liu Ying, we need to go! Now!"


    "Gina?"


    "Hurry up!"


    Liu Ying could only nod in confusion. One secondter, she put Gina on her back and left following Gina''s directions.


    Meanwhile, tens of shadows moved around the city, slowly cornering them.


    Five minutester, Gerald, Sara, and the others arrived at the ce where Liu Ying killed the two men.


    When Gerald saw the two corpses, his face turned ugly. "Damn it! How did she discover them!?"


    Nobody could answer him. Although the strength of these two men was nothing great, they were trained to erase their presence almost perfectly. If they kept a certain distance, then even people one or two ranks above them could not detect them.


    Gerald cursed his luck inwardly. Was their n going to fail before even starting?


    However, he soon calmed down and started to think.


    Gerald was not ready to give up. This was the perfect opportunity to get the saber, and this was the opportunity for his family to rise to power.


    It was time for a change of ns.


    Gerald touched themunication stone in his pocket. He could only hope that she cooperated with the n.


    In the walls, the fight against the monsters had intensified.


    With the apparition of the A-Rank monsters, the situation turned even moreplicated. The city lord and the other three A-Rank practitioners of the city were forced to fight the A-Rank monsters so as to avoid having the city''s defenses broken.


    The problem was, the number of A-Rank monsters was way higher than the number of A-Rank humans. Fortunately, the A-Rank monsters were a bit weak for their level, and for some reason, none of them used magic. But even so, the situation was very precarious.


    More than once, the city''s defenses were about to crumble. In one of the asions, an A-Rank monster managed to climb the city walls and started to massacre the humans.


    But when everybody thought that the city was done for, two old men appeared and joined the fray. Astonishingly, both of them possessed strength in the A-Rank, lightening a bit the burden of the city and improving the situation.


    They probably were former famous powerhouses living their retirement in the city.


    But even with them, the defensive line''s fall was only dyed a bit. With time, more and more A-Ranks monsters appeared.


    Before long, and even after the humans managed to kill two A-Rank monsters, the number A-Rank monsters attacking the city had increased to ten!


    "Ugh!" One of the two old men received an attack of a tiger-like beast. The attack threw him against a wall and made him vomit a mouthful of blood.


    The tiger roared savagely. It then raised a w and sliced the old man''s neck.


    Just like that, the first A-Rank of the city was killed.


    The death of the A-Rank old man was like a basin of cold water for the people defending. They watched how the tiger moved arrogantly towards the city''s doors after killing the old man.


    It lifted a w and


    *Booom! *


    Then


    *Booom! *


    With each attack of the tiger, the city''s giant doors creaked, once and again.


    The humans watched with bated breaths and expressions of despair how the tiger attacked the doors. Some courageous adventurers stood bravely and jumped from the walls to attack the tiger, but most of the time, the tiger did not even need to move and the monsters around it killed the men.


    Finally


    *Booom!!!*


    *Crack!*


    The city''s doors cracked.


    The city lord expression turned pale. He roared fiercely and tried to rush towards the door, but the two monsters he was fighting attacked him crazily, stopping his movements.


    In the end, he could only watch how the tiger attacked again and ultimately knocked the doors down!


    *ROOOOAAAAAAR!*


    The tiger roared in delight. It stood in front of the monsters and looked to the city that was finally open for them to enjoy.


    But suddenly


    *sh!*


    ...


    *BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!*


    A terrifying sword light shed down from the sky.


    The sword light was so powerful that it seemed to stop time itself. No monster nearby managed to react to it.


    The tiger and all the monsters in two hundred meters of the door were instantly killed!


    But at the same time


    *Spurt!*


    Sebastian vomited a mouthful of blood.


    "Hahahaha! How expected of the King''s Right Hand. To think you chose to receive my attack before letting the monsters invade the city. However, the doors have already fallen. Even if you stop them this time, can you stop them forever?" The ck-dressed demigodughed mockingly.


    Sebastian wrinkled his brows. He knew his enemy was right.


    However, he could do nothing but this to change the situation.


    In truth, he was at least one level stronger than his opponent. Although it was a bit hard to make his enemy stay, in normal circumstances, he could defeat him easily.


    The problem was the ck-dressed man''s strange techniques. For some reason, the strength of Sebastian''s attacks were halved when they struck the ck dressed man.


    Thus, he could only continue attacking while he thought of a way to kill his enemy.


    Sebastian looked at the city and sighed. Some adventurers and hunters stood behind the fallen doors to stop the monsters from entering the city.


    But five minutester, and after another two A-Rank humans and four A-Rank monsters were killed, the city''s entrance was finally breached.


    Then, the monsters entered the city.
