Chapter 72：Playing tag (2/2)
It then hit a billboard of a product and sliced it in half.
Before the Peon bird hit the ground it suddenly spread its wings and hovered above, then it flew at full speed. It spinned its body to avoid the falling half of the billboard.
He continued evading while swirling around the building. The enemies continued their nonstop attacks.
”Guehehehe, boss, we are almost at the academy. We shall make a huge explosion at their barracks.”
”No. We can't do that.”
”Eh? Why?”
”What do you think of us? Terrorist? Our mission is to pressure the magicians in this city.”
”Isn't it a better idea to destroy their barracks instead? I'm sure it gives them more pressure if they lost their barracks.”
”If we do that, those high-level elders won't just stay silent, idiot.”
”Then, why are we chasing them until here, boss?”
”Hehehe, don't you think those girls in their team are very attractive?”
”Guehehehe! I like that idea boss! Looks like joining your team is the most right decision that I'd ever made.”
”Ehehehehehe!”
”Gyahaha, the boss is right, Bean Cutter! With this disguise, I bet they wouldn't know who we are!”
”Damn you! Who'd you call a Bean Cutter?”
”Gyahahaha! It's you! Dumbass!”
”You yourself are dumbass, Lighter!”
”Lighter, huh! You want a go?”
”Sure, the challenge is accepted! Guehehehe!”
”You two stop it!”
”Pwe, say thanks to the boss, Bean Cutter. You avoided turning into a crisp!”
”Guehehe, you must be the one to thank the boss, Lighter. If not, your good as a piece of swiss cheese.”
”Hehehehe, before the two of you fight each other, At least hit the target in front. I heard after this residential area was a hill with thick forest. Then the academy is beyond it. We must catch them before that!”
The leader exclaimed then decided to increase the bird's speed. Immediately, his hand was enveloped by azure brilliance once again and he shot it to the person riding a Peon transport bird in front.
He frowned when that person was able to evade it.
”Boss, wait up!”
”Wait for us, boss!”
Jun glanced at the back and clicked his tongue. 'Damn it! As expected of those Hell Chaser birds, they really live to their name! They could easily chase the Peon birds. Although they don't have high stamina compared to the Peon birds, Hell Chaser birds are known to be one of the fastest transport birds.' Jun mulled.
Beads of sweats splattered and mingled in the air. He returned his gaze in front as he was already able to pass by the residential buildings.
Looking from others' perspective, they looked like they were playing tag. Drifting along the buildings in every direction to lose the trail of the enemies that are chasing after them.
”Jun!”
He saw Sierra at his left side being chased by two people. She shouted his name while dodging the rapid-fire of magical attacks.
Sierra seemingly annoyed as she summoned a wind element in her delicate hand and formed it into a shape of the disc then threw towards one of the enemies while shouting, ”Fuck off!”.
Yet.
*Shing!*
It was sliced by a sword coated by a similar wind element.
The spell she shot was just a low-level spell. But at the moment most of them could not muster high-level spells because of mana exhaustion.
Jun knew that Sierra was as tired as most of them.
A moment later,
”Guehehe, we finally caught up on you, boy!”
Said one of the people covered in dark blue cloths. His wicked eyes were peeking under the hood of cloth.
'Damn it!' Jun curses inwardly. Just a moment that he glanced somewhere and they already caught upon him!
Jun tried to maneuver to his left to increase the distance from them. But...
”Gyahaha, where are you going, Sissy?”
”Tsk!” Jun gritted his teeth when another person appeared on his left. Now he was in the middle. He was being pincered.
”Ehehehe, you are chicken-mate(He means checkmate), punk!” Jun glanced above and saw one of the enemies said this line.
Jun felt dejected and his face turned grim at the situation.
He bit his lips and tried to summon one ounce of his mana. But with a puff, he suddenly felt weak and his deity landed on his shoulder.
”No, way...” his mana and deity's battery hit the limit and it canceled their resonance.
He also saw Sierra in the same situation as him.
'This is the end.' He thought in dismay. He could not even save Sylvia. What a loser party leader he was. He glanced behind to see Sylvia. He noticed that she already lost her consciousness.
'Damn it!' He curses inwardly.
”Ehehehe, too bad, Chickens, You almost succeeded in getting away! Ehehe,” said the group leader and wetted his lips that broke into a toothy grin.
”Gyahaha, don't cry cow, I mean coward! Haha...!”
”Guehehe. Boss, this girl here is barely alive, let me have a taste of her before she passed away!”
Hearing this remark, Jun's face turned sour, but he could not even summon a little bit of strength.
Suddenly.
”Heh, so that's what this is all about, huh!”
They heard a cold voice, but none of them recognized it. The three glanced behind them but...
Bang!
The leader was sent flying below.
And a person? Monster? Landed on the bird's back where the supposed position of their leader.
”What?!!”
Both of them gawked in disbelief. And question marks floated above their head. Wondering where this one came from? And how was he able to come here?!
