The strange atmosphere was soon broken when one of the parties made a move.
It wasn't the pursuers who had the advantage of numbers nor the sword wielder who seemed to be quite strong.
It was Celty!
Fuuu!
A fiery ball of fire was hurled at the sword wielder. Celty clenched his teeth and dashed forward.
If he had a choice, Celty wouldn't want to be so reckless.
But now, he had no other choice.
If he dragged this on, once the poison spread throughout his body, he would really die a graveless death.
Rather than sitting and waiting for his death, he might as well fight with his life on the line.
What if he succeeded?
Choosing the sword wielder as his target was also to increase the 'what if' chance of success.
Celty was very clear about the pursuers behind him. Although they were nothing before he was poisoned and injured, they were enough to claim his life now.
Compared to the pursuers, even if the sword wielder was quite strong, there was only one of them.
Numbers were always the standard to measure a person's strength.
Facing a strong person was better than facing a group of people with average strength but great teamwork.
That was what Celty was thinking.
However, at the next moment, Celty who was dashing forward was stunned.
The sword wielder who should have been engulfed in flames twisted his body in a strange way. He didn't just dodge the flames, he swiftly appeared in front of Celty. The sword in his hand was thrusting towards Celty's throat with a loud hissing noise.
Snake School!
Celty was shocked.
He never thought he would run into someone from Snake School in a place like this.
Even more so, he never thought that the sword wielder was related to Snake School.
No, this wasn't right!
The sword wielder couldn't have contacted Snake School, could it be …
Was it a coincidence?
The ridiculous thoughts bloomed in Celty's heart but he couldn't bring himself to laugh at all.
The Raven Sect and Snake School were enemies to begin with!
The flames from before had exposed his identity as a member of the Raven Sect and the Snake School before him wouldn't give him a chance to explain, they would only kill him.
Souuu!
A flash later, the tip of the sword had arrived before Celty's eyes.
In a split second, Celty didn't think of anything else and instinctively fell backward like a pole falling on the ground.
The grudge between Raven Sect and Snake school was enough for both sects to meticulously study each other's techniques.
Celty knew what he had to do.
Likewise, the wielder of the sword knew as well.
The moment Celty fell to the ground, the sword wielder raised his leg and kicked at Celty's crotch.
Sinister and sinister.
However, this was also one of the unique characteristics of Snake school.
Before he truly fell to the ground, Celty turned his body sideways and pushed himself off the ground with his right hand. His body spun in the air like a spinning top.
Clap, clap!
Two crisp sounds echoed in the air as Celty, who was spinning in the air, launched two kicks.
Not only was it fast, but it was also accurate.
It was like a crow flying down and extending its claws.
One kick blocked the kick from the sword-wielder of Snake school, and the other kicked the head of the sword-wielder of Snake school.
The sword-wielder of Snake school grunted coldly in disdain.
Kieran twisted his body in a strange way again, dodging Celty's counterattack. Kieran's kick was accompanied by a snake hiss, defying the law of joint existence. Kieran dodged Celty's sniping kick and landed a vicious kick on Celty's thigh.
Bang!
The sword-wielder stepped on Celty's thigh and sent him flying away like a kite with a broken string.
Though, he seemed to be flying a little too high.
He was higher than the roof of the house.
He was tricked!
When the sword-wielder of Snake School stepped on Celty's thigh, he didn't feel the sensation that he remembered and knew things were not going well.
Right away, the sword-wielder of Snake School tried to salvage the situation.
However, someone was faster than him.
The pursuers seemed to have expected this and threw out a big rope net.
The rope net fell from the sky and trapped Celty in it. The pursuers exerted their strength and Celty fell down from the sky.
Coincidentally, the place where Celty fell was where Louver was hiding.
The royal wizard smiled bitterly.
He didn't have the ability to catch Celty, neither did he have the resolve to be a meat cushion and fall into the rope net together.
Louver rolled over and came out from the shadows.
He swung the dagger in his hand at the rope net.
Pak!
A corner of the rope net was broken just like that.
Celty, who should have been captured in one fell swoop, finally got a chance to breathe but his face at Louver was getting uglier by the second.
He knew the sword-wielder of Snake School must be chasing after Louver.
Of course, he also knew he was blocking Louver's path as well.
A ridiculous feeling rose up in both of their hearts at the same time.
However, both of them didn't lament further. After exchanging a gaze, they formed a temporary alliance with unusual tacit understanding.
Then, both of them dashed towards the pursuers.
The sword-wielder of Snake School had used his strength to show that he was stronger than he looked. Both Louver and Celty were unwilling to engage him in a fight.
Then, all that was left was the pursuers.
Even though the pursuers had the advantage in numbers, Louver and Celty were two people.
Fuuu!
Celty raised his hand and cast the Raven Sect secret technique again. Flames mixed with thick smoke rumbled towards the pursuers.
The pursuers had expected the flames.
They pulled their custom-made mantle to cover their mouths and noses before dashing towards Celty.
But …
As the flames faded away, the pursuers who let go of their noses and noses felt like they were floating.
Or more precisely, they staggered.
The thick smoke wasn't formed by the flames. The Raven Sect secret technique didn't mention anything about smoke.
The thick smoke came from the powder in Louver's hand.
It was a kind of powder that could knock out and numb a person.
As long as the powder had sufficient heat, it could be ignited. It was considered one of Louver's best potions but when he was being chased, he didn't have the chance to use it.
Now, with Celty's cooperation, it was a piece of cake for him.
Celty didn't even need Louver's reminder to cover his nose and mouth when he saw the powder that Louver flicked out fused into his flames.
Now, he saw the pursuers stagger.
Celty knew his chance had arrived.
He dashed forward quickly. Louver did the same.
The two injured people displayed speed that far exceeded their peak.
Their lives were in danger.
Even if they were crippled, when they saw a glimmer of hope, they would perform better than a common man, let alone injured.
Survival was every living being's instinct.
However, when the glimmer of hope was extinguished once more, the despair was suffocating.
Louver and Celty were like that.
They looked at the Snake School sword wielder who appeared in front of them out of nowhere. Their breaths almost stopped at that moment.
Celty showed a bitter face, as if he was muttering to himself.
"Viper Steps?"
The Snake School sword wielder didn't have the intention to answer either, thrusting his sword at Celty.
Though, it wasn't Celty.
It was Louver.
Among the missions that Louver had accepted, killing Louver was a lot more important than Celty.
After all, as long as he killed Louver, everything would be covered up.
Louver didn't sit still and wait for his death.
Even though the shadow of despair was shrouding him.
Unable to cast any spells, the court wizards fired cluster after cluster of powder at Kieran but the Snake School sword wielder destroyed all of them with a single slash.
The cold yet shining sword had an obvious color that was different from the Snake School sword.
It rendered the court wizards' efforts useless.
Even Celty was shocked by Kieran's reaction.
Only then did he realize that the sword wielder hadn't even used his full strength.
"It's over!"
Celty's hopes turned to dust.
He knew that after the sword wielder killed Louver, it would be his turn.
But he was powerless to resist.
Gawk!
Just when both of them had given up on resisting, a raven caw sounded.
The Snake School sword wielder retreated swiftly amidst the scorching heat wave.
Celty, who had lost all hope a moment ago, was overjoyed.
"Lord Crown Raven, is that you?"
Celty called out loudly.
Dak Dak Dak …
Footsteps sounded, a figure was faintly discernible at the entrance of the alleyway, the black raven feathered mantle was emanating an unusual radiance.
