633 Good and Bad Teamwork (1/2)

”Capture them if you can, but killing them is easier, so I will kill them.”

The Ice Goddess didn't have any intention to help the former investigator.

”You aren't fun at all, but they are quite weak. I can capture them alive, even without your help. What do you say, Pavel?”

The Ice Goddess was well-known for how inflexible she was, so he didn't plan to try to change her opinion once she said no.

”I will only follow my master's orders. I won't collaborate in anything that doesn't follow them. I will battle with Shiba. You two deal with the others, so they don't interfere with us. I heard that those three are very good battling together, so better avoid it.”

The other two didn't think that their opponents could be dangerous even when grouped, but Lesta was the one who informed Pavel about the details, and they didn't think that someone like Lesta would say something like that without reason.

However, they thought that those three battling together would be troublesome, not something that could decide the battle.

”You two cooperate in dealing with the other two. Leave Pavel to me. He seems decided to battle against me one versus one, so although interfering a bit is possible, I doubt that he doesn't have ways to force us battle separately. At least, this way, we won't be too far from each other.”

Lina and Eini were surprised that Shiba refused to try to battle together, but they agreed for the reason that wasn't one of what Shiba told them.

Pavel was Lesta's disciple, and Shiba was Yale's disciple. Both of them were considered the commanders of the two sides of the war, so they believed that it was normal that their disciples wanted to face each other. Moreover, from what they had heard, it seemed that both masters had ordered them to face each other.

The next second, Shiba and Pavel had already clashed, and Pavel was sent flying backward.

”As I expected. Trying to rely on the Minor Dimensional Divinity is useless against you, but I wanted to try.”

Lesta taught Pavel the Dimensional Divinity, but Pavel only managed to obtain the Minor Dimensional Divinity while Shiba had the Great Dimensional Divinity.

”This won't last more than a minute if you insist on competing with the Dimensional Divinity.”

Shiba had also used only the Great Dimensional Divinity before.

The other four didn't understand why Pavel and Shiba started with such a pointless comparison of attacks. However, given that the Dimensional Divinity was quite strange, they could believe that although it wasn't the best thinking logically, they were itchy to compare the Dimensional Divinity with someone else, and obviously trying with their master was out of the question.

Of course, Shiba was just following Yale's orders, it wasn't because he wanted to test his strength.

”Leave those two fools aside. No more one versus one. I will kill both of you quickly.”

The Ice Goddess just ignored Pavel and Shiba. She really didn't care about the result of that battle. Even if Pavel died, she wouldn't be blamed for it as long as she fulfilled her part.

”No. We need to capture them for doing experiments. I can deal with them, just leave everything to me.”

He didn't want the help of the Ice Goddess if she didn't want to help, but he didn't want that she killed the experiment subjects.

”You are too slow. I don't want to waste time. I will kill them.”

Ignoring the words of her companion, the Ice Goddess spoke and prepared to attack, but the former investigator stopped her.

”You aren't killing them. I want them alive. Don't interfere with my plans.”

It wasn't just that they didn't have any teamwork. Lina and Eini were sure that their enemies were weaker together than being alone.

”I will just kill you with them if you insist on your stupid experiments.”

The Ice Goddess wasn't joking. She never hesitated to kill a team member if she believed that it was bothersome.

”I can also use you on some experiments if you insist.”
