* Boom!! *
At this critical moment, Tomohisa viciously kicked the assassin away with his lightning-like kick! He then accurately shot a [Thunder Explosion] at the assassin, injuring him and slowing him down.
This kick and throw were both precise and smooth. It was an amazing performance.
Hoshi managed to escape with his life.
Seiji felt guilty about how he had almost caused his junior to experience the same thing. Not only that, but he also rejoiced. Also …
Deep anger!!
No matter what the reason was, if they wanted to kill me, then don't blame me for retaliating!!
After being pincered by the greatsword and spear, Hoshi activated [Bullet Time] again. He decisively used [Power of Transcendence] and [Evolved Body-strengthening technique [Gale]]!!
This was a speed specialization mode that greatly increased his movement speed at the cost of increasing his Mana consumption. With [Power of Transcendence], the effect was even stronger. The result was …
* Whoosh! * Seiji transformed into a golden gust of wind.
* Shing shing shing shing … *
The brown-haired man wielding the greatsword was instantly slashed repeatedly! He couldn't even see his enemy clearly. He could only rely on the red barrier around him to forcefully block the attacks.
* Shing!! *
In less than a few seconds, the barrier was pierced through, and a white sword pierced through his body from behind!
The sword was then pulled out, and he was viciously kicked towards the spear-wielding green-haired youth.
At this moment, the hooded youth approached Mika and the others again and transformed into a shadow for a second assassination attempt.
* Shing! *
The golden Tempest Shadow Seiji arrived and stopped the assassin's attack with his sword!
Right after that, the sword kept flashing like a web. The assassin was forced to continuously retreat and barely managed to block the attacks. Then, his protective barrier was pierced through, and the white sword pierced through his chest!
The green-haired youth took advantage of this moment and swiftly attacked with his spear!!
Seiji pulled out his sword and easily dodged this spear attack. He then swung his sword in a counterattack!
At this moment, the brown-haired man crawled back up. His wounds weren't bleeding. Instead, mist was coming out of them as if he were a spiritual monster.
The hooded youth was the same.
Seiji had a strange feeling when he pierced through these two … it seemed that they were in some abnormal state. Their vicious expressions, bright red eyes, and abnormal killing intent were all because of this.
Since he had turned into a monster, then he would deal with him as if he were a monster!
He fought fiercely with these three fellows in the state of Gale while casting hand seals at the same time.
Bang bang bang bang —
The Spiritual Ability users wearing combat uniforms were shooting at him, causing him some trouble.
Fortunately, Tomohisa was able to cast lightning balls and Hoshi was able to control his spiritual eagle to help stall the three monster-like monsters.
Although Mika also tried to shoot, her marksmanship was too bad and she basically missed.
Sealing Curse, "Demon Suppression Bell"!!
As soon as the spell was cast, Seiji activated the spell without hesitation. A huge golden bell suddenly appeared and covered the brown-haired man and the others!
"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The battle was a failure! Iwasaki made his judgment.
Three people were sacrificed, but not a single enemy was killed. They didn't even cause any serious injuries.
He had underestimated the enemy … no, he had overestimated himself.
Inferior Espers who could only unleash their combat power by using drugs as catalysts and equipped with specialized Spiritual Energy weapons were even more useless than he originally thought! He would have to properly report this to his superiors.
Iwasaki felt that the organization probably didn't have much hope for such people. Compared to them, the spiritual artifacts were more important. However, he was unable to retrieve them now. He would be forced to stay here even if he didn't leave now.
'True Knight Order … I'll remember this.'
Iwasaki ordered Caesar to immediately leave. The gray-haired boy furrowed his eyebrows as he took out a black object and held it with both hands as he muttered an incantation.
The object instantly started glowing red. Caesar had a pained expression as if he was in great discomfort. However, he was forced to continue his incantation.
At this moment, a golden gale speedily approached! Iwasaki instantly reacted and locked onto his target with his gun. At the same time, he flashed several talismans and speedily cast a spell …
Defensive spell, "Prison Cage"!!
* Whoosh! * Layers of spell formations suddenly appeared, forming a compound barrier that gave off a heavy feeling.
Seiji slashed at the barrier with his sword. However, it didn't cause any damage.
This barrier's defensive power was quite high. A powerful spell would be needed to break through it … Mika's "Dimension Shattering Jade" would suffice!
However, it was too late.
Seiji watched as the gray-haired boy tossed something on the ground that was flashing with a blinding red light. The light formed a bright red whirlpool, and the gray-haired boy then stepped on the whirlpool and vanished into the light.
The Spiritual Ability user remained on guard against Seiji. He then stepped on the whirlpool and vanished as well.
Something flashed in Seiji's eyes as he sheathed his sword after seeing that his enemies had escaped.
This inexplicable battle ended just like that.
The brown-haired boy and his two companions had died.
Their deaths were quite pitiful. It was as if they had been burned to death. Mika and Hoshi almost vomited at this sight.
Seiji also felt like vomiting. He felt even worse when he thought about how this was caused by his own spell.
However, he didn't regret it.
He would never hold back against an enemy that wanted to kill his companions, not to mention an enemy that was almost like a monster.
However, there was still one thing that he regretted. Seiji wasn't able to react in time when the enemy attacked him, which almost caused Hoshi to be killed.
Fortunately, Tomohisa managed to stop the assassin with a lightning kick. That kick could be described as a gold … no, a diamond kick!
This was an Inner World, a place outside of the law. Anyone he met could attack him for any reason! Seiji firmly remembered this lesson.
"If any of them are still alive, we can interrogate them," Tomohisa told him. "But … there's nothing we can do about this."
Seiji's tone was quite calm. He didn't seem to pity his enemies at all. He simply felt regretful that he wouldn't be able to obtain any information.
Seiji and his companions didn't know why the enemy attacked them.
Previously, Seiji had guessed that the enemy wanted to escape from the Inner World. However, reality proved that his guess was wrong.
The enemy could leave this Inner World on their own. They didn't need to die to escape.
Yet, even though three people had died, Seiji and his companions were still here. This meant that this Inner World didn't have any rules of escaping by dying!
Forget about what exactly happened for now. If the enemy didn't want to leave … then could it be the exact opposite? Were they here to occupy this area? Seiji changed his line of thought.
No spiritual monsters would appear in this "garden". This was a place where he could rest in peace. It could also be used as a gathering point.
A gathering point … that's right! Not only could this place be used as a resting area, it could also be used as a place to cultivate!!
Cultivating in a Spirit World would be much easier. An Inner World was a Spirit World, so …
Wait a moment, was this really an Inner World? Could this actually be a Spirit World — the Forest Palace's "Surface World"?
Seiji suddenly felt enlightened when he thought of this.
If this was the Surface World, or an Inner World that was close to the Surface World, then that would explain why there were no rules of escaping by dying here! And why it was so vast!!
Seiji seemed to have found the answer.
If someone had the ability to enter and exit this vast Inner World that seemed to be the Surface World, then a safe area where no spiritual monsters would appear would be incredibly valuable. It would be so valuable that it would be worth fighting for it!
A certain faction with such an ability had sent out a small team to search for this treasure land. When they discovered that there were already people inside, they believed that they were competitors, which was why they attacked without hesitation …
Yep, that seemed reasonable. Seiji felt that this was a reasonable guess.
Killing people for the sake of stealing land was completely reasonable. The entire history of human warfare was the best proof of this.
The problem was that the enemy had misunderstood!
Seiji and his companions didn't even want to occupy this area. They only wanted to find their companions and leave.
