Chapter 146: Blink (2)


    The hooded man was bleeding profusely from his neck and back. The injuries he received, although not fatal, were very grave.


    "You" Rage and surprise appeared in the hooded man''s eyes. He had not realized Javelin''s presence until he was attacked!


    Javelin walked out of the shadows and he was twirling yfully his two daggers. With a smile, he walked beside Bloed and Liu Ying.


    "Well, what do we have here? Hey Bloed, when you told me you were going to need my help with something, you never mentioned that this something was a demigod plus two A-Rank powerhouses."


    Bloed smiled wryly. "Actually, I was expecting only a demigod. The two A-Ranks are an extra."


    Javelin did not know whether tough or to cry. Only a demigod? ''Only''?


    Although looking at the fight in the clouds, he understood why Bloed said ''only a demigod''.


    "Damn, I was already surprised when you told me that your mother was a demigod, but why in the hell is your servant a demigod too? What kind of family do youe from?"


    " It''s a long story. And I don''t think the two friends in front of us will give us the time to talk about it."


    Javelin also nodded.


    Although now that he was here the situation was much better than before, Bloed, Liu Ying, and Javelin were still at a disadvantage.


    " The people of Moonlight Glow will be arriving soon." Javelin said with a serious look. "We will have to endure until then."


    Bloed nodded. That was the only thing they could do for now.


    The reason Javelin was here was that Bloed asked him toe. When Javelin gave Bloed the reward earlier today, Bloed had already told Javelin and Madeline that he would perhaps use their help soon.


    It was because Bloed had learned from Charise, the saintess of fate, that people from the kingdom would being for him.


    In normal conditions, Regina alone would have been enough to take care of anyone the kingdom send. But out of caution, and in the unlikely case the kingdom sent a demigod, Bloed decided to enlist some help.


    Thus, he gave Javelin a small device through which Bloed could send a help signal. In case Bloed needed Javelin''s help, this device would emit a high-pitched beep and show Bloed''s approximate location to Javelin.


    And when Bloed saw Sebastian appear with two A-Ranks, he knew he did alright to ask for Javelin''s help.


    Hence, he decisively activated the transmitter.


    Regina knew about Bloed''s preparations. That was the reason she did not attack Sebastian as soon as he appeared and instead talked to him for a while. To gain time.


    In fact, when Regina and Sebastian started their fight in the clouds, Javelin had already arrived.


    However, he did not attack immediately and instead waited for an opportunity to realize a sneak attack. When the opportunity presented itself, he attacked.


    And although he did not kill the A-Rank when he attacked, he injured him severely, affecting hisbat ability.


    "Then, how are we going to do this now?" Javelin asked.


    Bloed thought for a moment and took two earpieces from a pocket, giving one to Liu Ying and one to Javelin.


    "You fight the uninjured A-Rank and take care of him," Bloed said to Javelin. "Liu Ying and I will take care of the fast one."


    Javelin observed the earpiece curiously and put it on his ear before looking at the injured A-Rank. "Are you sure? Although that man is injured, I think he is more dangerous than the other. Even I don''t understand how he is appearing and disappearing so mysteriously."


    Bloed smiled softly. "Don''t worry, that man will not be able to take us down."


    Javelin furrowed his brows. Unfortunately, he did not have time to ask Bloed about the details. Because at that moment, the two hooded people resumed their attacks.


    Without a warning, the injured hooded person disappeared.


    Bloed acted instantly and raised his gun in Javelin''s direction, shooting a bullet of superpressed energy.


    But before the bullet could hit Javelin, the air in front of him distorted and the hooded figure appeared.


    "!!!"


    The figure was surprised and hurriedly moved away, losing his opportunity to attack Javelin. At the same time, Bloed shouted.


    "Javelin, leave him to us!"


    " Make sure to not die!" Javelin shouted back and disappeared in the shadows. Then, he emerged in front of the other hooded person.


    Instantly, a fierce fight between shadows and earth started.


    Meanwhile, Bloed fight against the disappearing A-Rank continued.


    To the hooded man''s surprise, though, not only were Bloed and Liu Ying not being suppressed, but they even seemed to have a slight advantage.


    "Kuh!" The hooded person grunted and disappeared again, trying to appear behind Liu Ying. But when he appeared, he felt the chains made of Leto''s metallic sand wrapping around his legs. At the same time, Liu Ying''s punch wasing towards his waist.


    "Hah!"


    ''Damn!'' The hooded person could only cross his arms to stop the attack, but Liu Ying''s punch was not something as easy to receive. Much less when the destructive power of her attacks was being boosted by the gloved Bloed''s crafted.


    "Agh!" The hooded person felt his arm bones groaning under the pressure of the punch. Hurriedly, he erupted the mana in his body, destroying Leto''s chains and jumping away to reduce part of Liu Ying''s attack.


    Unfortunately, another one of Bloed''s bullets wasing in his direction. Thus, the hooded person was forced to disappear again.


    But when he reappeared, another one of Bloed bullets wasing towards his face!


    This time, the hooded person was forced to receive the attack. His dagger cut towards the energy bullet, triggering a powerful explosion that blew the hooded person away!


    "Ugh!" The hooded person grunted in pain. The cape covering his body was destroyed, and the injuries caused by Javelin became worse.


    Bloed, however, was surprised by something else.


    The person under the hood was not a man as he had thought. Instead, it was a woman.


    "Cough cough" The hooded woman coughed a mouthful of blood and looked at Bloed warily while wiping off the blood on her lips.


    "You You have a way to predict where I''m going to appear, right? Is it your eyes?"


    Bloed did not deny it. The woman was not an idiot, so it was normal that she noticed after Bloed predicted her attacks several times.


    Although Bloed was not sure how the woman did it, the ability she was using was a kind of [Blink]. In other words, short-ranged teleportation.


    Unfortunately for the woman, that ability had a few ws.


    The first one was the energy fluctuations it emitted. Each time she blinked and before she reappeared, the ce where she was going to appear emitted a very slight energy fluctuation. This energy fluctuation was very small, almost unnoticeable, but as clear as the day in front of Bloed''s eyes.


    And the second w was that the woman''s blink had a very brief ''cooldown''.


    After she blinked, she needed a fraction of a second before she could blink again.


    These two ws, plus the fact that the woman had been injured by Javelin before, made the fight much easier for Bloed and Liu Ying.


    Bloed used these three points to gain the advantage in the fight against the woman.


    On one hand, he used the earpiece he passed to Liu Ying to tell her the ce where the woman was going to reappear. On the other hand, he shot his ster gun and controlled Leto to attack the ces where the woman was going to reappear, forcing her to avoid or take the attacks and disrupting her rhythm.


    When the woman confirmed that Bloed had a way to predict her teleportation ability, she sighed.


    " ording to my knowledge, the kingdom has only two princes. One is the crown prince, who is already twenty years old. The other is princess Eres, whose talent is considered the greatest the royal family has seen in thest three hundred years.


    "However, a few years ago, there were three princes instead of two. The third prince was a young boy by the name of Glenn. That boy was always very mysterious, and there was very little information about him. However, he died mysteriously six years ago."


    Bloed fell silent. It seemed like this woman had realized his identity after hearing Sebastian''s words.


    When the woman saw Bloed''s silence, she confirmed her guesses.


    " Nice to meet you then, Prince Glenn Skysword."
