Chapter 208: The A-Ranks Guarding the Tower


    Bloed and the girls climbed to the roof of a nearby building and looked in the direction where Bloed was pointing.


    But although they were doing their best to observe the situation, they could see nothing.


    "I don''t see anything" Rana said with a doubtful look.


    "Wait a moment, you will see soon," Bloed said with a serious expression.


    Currently, Oculus was tracking the beastman that was trying to reach the tower.


    It was a catkin young man. The catkin was moving skillfully between the shadows, taking each step silently and avoiding the ces where the A-Ranks were.


    Bloed could not help but sigh in admiration. This catkin''s stealth skills were very outstanding.


    In fact, even Oculus was having trouble keeping an eye on him. His skills were that outstanding.


    But Bloed did not think that was enough to pass the A-Ranks guarding the tower.


    And as Bloed expected, when the catkin was less than one hundred meters away from the tower, the ear of one of the guards twitched.


    Then, he grinned in the direction of the catkin.


    Bloed narrowed his eyes.


    "Pay attention. It''s going to start."


    As soon as his words sounded, the A-Rank moved.


    He bent his knees and jumped at high speed in the direction of the catkin!


    The catkin instantly realized he had been discovered. Without hesitation, he stopped caring about stealth and rushed towards the tower.


    It was just one hundred meters away. He needed just a few seconds to arrive there.


    But the A-Rank was faster than he expected.


    In less than three seconds, he was already in front of the catkin, wilding a spear skillfully!


    The catkin gritted his teeth and took out a shortsword. He then bent his body and redirected the attack of the A-Rank away.


    *Boom!* A powerful explosion happened, creating a giant crater around the catkin and the A-Rank, but to the A-Rank''s surprise, the catkin was uninjured!


    Although his expression was slightly pale, he had managed to deflect the blow without receiving any injury.


    A brief trace of admiration shed in the A-Rank''s face. Although he suppressed his strength just now, his attack was not something that a B-Rank should be able to stop!


    But despite his admiration for the catkin''s abilities, he did not stop his second attack.


    At the same time, the catkin sprinted once more towards the tower!


    He knew he could not defeat the A-Rank. His only hope was to reach the tower before the A-Rank could defeat him.


    Sixty meters, fifty meters, forty meters.


    The A-Rank attacked again, but this time, the catkin did not defend.


    Instead, he gritted his teeth and circted his mana furiously.


    Instantly, a dark shade erupted from his body, bringing his speed at a new level and helping him to avoid the next attack.


    With this, he was just twenty meters away from the tower!


    Excitement appeared on the catkin''s face. He could already see the tower in front of him.


    His bet paid off!


    But suddenly, a magic circle appeared around him.


    Then, countless chains of light surged from the ground, wrapping around his body and stopping his movements.


    At the same time, a translucent barrier appeared around the tower to stop the catkin in case he managed to break through the chains.


    The catkin''s face turned ashen. In a panic, he tried to use his shortsword to cut the chains.


    Be before he could, the shaft of a spear hit his abdomen.


    "Gah!" The catkin vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. Next, his consciousness started to fade.


    But before his consciousness fadedpletely, he managed to see a fox woman walking calmly towards him while holding a staff on her hands.


    She had been the one that cast the chains and the barrier.


    "This boy was pretty good." The beastman with the spear grinned to the fox woman. "Unfortunately, he was too rash and overestimated his abilities."


    "It means he is not suitable for the mission." The fox woman shrugged indifferently. "Return to your post. It would be bad if someone sneaks in while we are busy with this boy."


    The spear-wielding beastman grinned and returned to his previous location.


    Meanwhile, Bloed and the girls were looking at that scene with stern expressions.


    Each one of them could be considered a rather powerful powerhouse, so they managed to see the battle clearly despite the distance.


    Not only them. Some of the nearby candidates also heard themotion and ran outside to see what was happening.


    And when they saw the catkin boy being defeated so easily, their expressions turned grave.


    " They even had a mage. Moreover, she managed to cast a barrier that covers the entire tower." Rana said with a frown. "This will be harder than we thought."


    Bloed nodded. "As expected, if we want to seed, we need all the help we can get."


    "You are right, but how are we going to convince the other beastmen to work with us. In the end, each one of us can be considered an enemy." Liu Ying asked.


    "Don''t worry, I have a n. Let''s go back to the house."


    Hearing Bloed''s words, the girls nodded and returned to the house where they were staying.


    Once inside, they saw Bloed crouch down and close his eyes.


    "Bloed?" Liu Ying, Aya, and Rana looked at Bloed curiously.


    Bloed''s lips curved in a smile.


    "Liu Ying. Do you remember Oculus''s abilities?"


    "Huh? Of course. It can hide, scout, shot a barrage of bullets, shot a powerful beam attack, and divide itself in a lot of small bugs to scout better."


    "Correct. But these bugs have another use besides scouting."


    "Mm?"


    "You see, if I want, I can use the mechanical bugs to create amunicationwork, using each one of them as a transistor and receptor of information," Bloed said with a proud smile. "In other words"


    " You will be able to talk to all candidates nearby at the same time." Liu Ying said with a look of admiration.
