Chapter 1288 Clash!

...

Lorraine hopped beside Shin and said. "To think that you will be at the center of trouble right after you arrive. I wonder how Cloe can handle you all this time."

"Then there are those idiots – Arthur and Leonard. I can't imagine how she is holding out," she added before finally voicing out her real motive. "How about I transfer to your team and help her out? I'll make sure that she will be doing fine. After all, I am quite experienced in being a Commander of an Adventurer Team."

Shin gave her a bitter smile while shaking his head. "Don't bother. You deal with your side first and we will talk again about this later."

Lorraine pouted her lips and glared at him. "Hmph! How dare you guys leave me behind? Aren't we friends forever? How can you create your adventurer team without me?"

At this moment, Shin glanced at her with his 'True Sight' Skill and read through her basic information.

Cough! Cough!

Shin could not help but choke with some air as he saw her IGN (in-game name). He pretty much ignored the rest of the information as he focused on it before giving her a skeptical look. "For real?"

"You seriously named yourself based on Leo's ID? D*mn! You are down bad!" he commented while shaking his head and repeatedly mumbling. "I can't even tell whether it is love or she is just obsessed with him."

Lorraine glared at him sharply as if telling him that he had gone too far.

"Forget about it. We have a more pressing matter in our hands," Shin then ignored her glare and pointed at Samael and Huahua. "Take care of these two and deal with those small fries for the time being."

Hearing that, Lorraine could not help but frown deeply before complaining. "Aren't you underestimating me a little too much? Leaving such small fries for someone like me? Do you even know how much my pay grade is and what kind of commissions I accept?"

Shin shook his head and waved his hand. "Just deal with it for now. If you have brought your people with you here, then you may even have a chance to play with the stronger ones."

"Tsk! Do you think that I am not thinking about that? But we can't leave the 'main base' unprotected, can we?" she pouted her lips further and added. "I have to station them there to prevent any accidents from happening."

"Then I leave the rest to you," said Shin before turning to Owen and Ithilien and pointing at Asmodeus and Lilith. "As for you two, that pair is all yours. I've played a little with them earlier. They are by no means weak, so be extra careful when facing them."

Receiving the instructions from Shin, the pair, Owen and Ithilien nodded their heads while wearing solemn looks on their faces.

On the other side, Amon, who assumed the leading position in their ranks, did not immediately give out his orders and led the opposing side to make their arrangements.

Instead, his gaze fixed on Diablo, who just appeared out of nowhere. The raging flames within his eyes further strengthened the fierceness that he had as he stared at the old friend that he had.

And as if they had agreed to it, both Amon and Shin signaled their sides to make their move.

Bang! Bang!

The first to make the move was Lorraine, who swapped her sniper rifle with a pair of magic pistols. She aimed it at the Sweepers that were trying to charge at them from behind and shot them one after another.

The magic bullets that came out from the muzzles of her pistols accurately hit the heads of the incoming Sweepers, not giving them any time to react.

One by one, the Sweepers fell to the ground, making their colleagues halt their advances instantly. They now learned that they could not afford to underestimate these opponents in front of them.

But their actions did not stop the gunshots from Lorraine. She kept on firing at them and taking down a target with each bullet in the head.

Seeing that, the Sweepers finally understood that this gunslinger was not someone to be trifled with. They quickly jumped to the side and hid themselves behind the surrounding trees while the rest used their movement skills to charge ahead fearlessly.

With the incoming opponents, Lorraine leaned to her side and said to Huahua. "Stay by my side, little sister. This big sister will protect you."

"But can you start summoning your friends and help me a little?" she added as she put back the respirator mask to cover her mouth.

Hearing those words, Huahua finally snapped out of her daze. She inhaled deeply to calm herself. She was surprised at the sudden arrival of the strong people, which was immediately followed by the appearance of the enemies that surrounded them from all sides.

She was not used to this kind of situation, so she was greatly in shock and panic. But after sweeping her gaze at the others around her, and seeing the calmness that they had, she could not help but become affected by them.

Nodding her head, she started summoning her totems one after another while also calling out her Spirit Wolf. "Come out, Silly!"

When she was done summoning the giant spirit wolf, her face immediately turned red like a ripe tomato due to embarrassment. She could not help to knock her head for giving such a huge and fearsome wolf such a name.

Regardless, she continued to summon the ghost gates that summoned her ghost soldiers, which also started to charge in every direction.

It was clear that she did not know how to properly control her summons just by looking at those ghost soldiers running in random directions and did not have any kind of battle formation.

Lorraine felt a little speechless when she saw that before turning to Huahua. But when she saw the little shaman panicking a little due to the overwhelming number of her summoned ghosts, Lorraine could not help but giggle due to how cute this girl was.

She was about to give an order to Samael when she saw him running in a certain direction that was not covered by the ghost soldiers of his sister. It was also at that moment when she saw Silly, the giant spirit wolf charged toward the opposition direction.

The ghost soldiers might be attacking randomly, but these two were covering the two big holes in their defense, which immediately nullified most of the dangers that Huahua might face.

But since Lorraine was on Little Shaman's side, her safety was pretty much assured.

It was at that moment when Lorraine realized that these two might not be as simple as they seemed, especially when she saw that the buffs that the totems had given them were quite strong.

"Well, they are discovered by Shin after all. His eyes have never been wrong when it comes to finding talented people," she mumbled before raising her pistol to the side and pulling the trigger without looking.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three shots were fired which was immediately followed by three dead bodies that fell on the ground.

...

On the other side, Owen and Ithilien had made their moves.

Owen charged straight to Asmodeus fearlessly, not caring about the hidden Sweepers that tried to sneak behind him.

It was because those Sweepers were shot down by Ithilien's arrows one after another before they could even reach him. This made Owen focus on the opponent in front of him and not care about anything else.

Asmodeus felt a little insulted when he saw this lowly 'subordinate' of Shin charging at him. The rage that he had in his heart was already burning fiercely, so he quickly charged forward and met Owen head-on.

Raising his sword in the air, he suddenly stomped forward and swung the sword down with all he had and exerted all the mana from his reserve.

Swoosh!

The air-splitting sound could be heard as he swung the sword down it released a raging flow of mana and drew a violent arc in the air, tracing its trajectory.

Bang!

Owen immediately sensed the powerful attack crushing down at him. In response, he stomped on the ground and raised his shield over him while channeling his mana in it while also planting his feet firmly onto the ground.

Boom!

The defeating explosion immediately erupted as the two sides clashed. historical

Asmodeus took a couple of steps back due to the impact, trying to regain his footing while firmly gripping onto his sword that got rebounded by the powerful collision.

Owen, on the other hand, felt like his body was shaking violently due to the heavy force that crushed him. Fortunately, he was able to transfer most of it toward the ground as he tried to shake off the tremors within his body.

The two were about to resume facing each other when their expression suddenly changed.

Asmodeus sensed the raining arrows falling at him from the sky and pouring like droplets of rain while Owen found himself in the middle of shadowy flames that were swarming at him at an insane speed.

Ithilien and Lilith had taken action!

But instead of supporting their respective partners, they decided to attack the two melee combatants and put all their trust in them.

"Tsk!"

"Sh*t!"

The two boys cursed under their breath and quickly responded.

Asmodeus held his sword horizontally before moving it in a very slow yet steady manner. His sword left a series of afterimages behind as he moved it before swinging it to block the falling arrows.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

He seemingly moved in a very slow manner, but he was able to block all the incoming arrows that were directed at him, not missing one despite how fast they were falling at him.

In the meantime, Owen gritted his teeth as he stood straight and raised his shield in the air. He gathered surrounding mana before slamming the shield on the ground and sending a powerful shockwave that spread in every direction.

Boom!

The shockwave warded off the swarming flames and weakened their momentum greatly. There were still a few tongues of flames that managed to get past the shockwave, but their power was already negligible enough to treat them as a threat.

Owen just walked through them before charging straight to Asmodeus.

The latter, who just repelled the raining arrows, quickly noticed the incoming opponent and redirected his gaze.

Without further ado, he charged ahead and met Owen, which resulted in them engaging in an intense melee.

From time to time, Ithilien and Lilith would provide some assistance to the two while also sending some attacks on each other, harassing the opposing side.

With all those people making their respective moves, the whole place immediately turned into a chaotic battlefield. But despite that being the four strongest people present still refused to act.

They strangely stood still and stared at each other. It was as if they were in an intense staredown competition.

They seemed to be calm on the surface, but their auras were already clashing against each other, creating a heavy and suffocating atmosphere around them.

Some quiet explosions could be heard due to the collision of auras from each side.

Mephistopheles was already itching to fight since he arrived. But for some unknown reason, something seemed to be preventing him from acting up until now. He was not sure what it was, but he knew that it had something to do with this opponent of his.

This might be one of those rare times when he felt some hesitation when facing someone. This could only mean that this current opponent was much stronger than he had expected.

But instead of being dejected, he had become more excited as he finally had the time to go all-out once again.

"Battle God Sickarius! I hope that you can show me the thrill of battle that I am looking for!"
