Chapter 285: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The? Bridge' Part 88
Gilbert could only choose to give up asking Kayn about the source of his knowledge as he can already guess based from the latter's response that he doesn't plan on telling the truth. He understood it though. After all, everyone has a secret or two, it doesn't mean just because one found out they possess a secret, that they'll automatically be required to explain it to them.
"Just call it, Space Magic," Kayn described the event that just took place.
"Space Magic?" Gilbert fell into deep thoughts.
"That's right," Kayn nodded. Creating a vacuum is the ability of the Space element. So, explaining it that way makes a lot more sense compared to explaining everything word by word as even he had trouble understanding its principles and laws in the past.
The damage the spiky ice ball had caused to the Freedom Fang Brigade this time around was devastating as they were completely not prepared for the unexpected result of the vacuum they created.
Although they still didn't remove it as they don't want the Dream Village to start throwing them flaming balls and barrels of oil once again.
Instead, they constructed a sphere above their heads. In this way, they can completely block whatever will come their way this time.
"I guessed we've finally pushed them more than enough," Kayn chuckled.
All of a sudden.
Clang!
A loud sound of ball rang.
"What was that?"
It caught Gilbert's attention. But after he observed the bell, he found no one.
"Perhaps it was one of the ice spikes," Kayn shrugged. When the spiky ice balls exploded, some of the ice spikes actually went flying to their direction and hit the wall. Except, this time it wasn't, and he knows exactly who caused that bell to rang.
Gilbert disregarded it since it was nothing and instead he asked. "Are we going to continue?" He doesn't see any point in continuing with this plan. In fact, it seems like the strategy has failed as the rats still didn't show themselves.
"We've already achieved what we had to do," Kayn smiles as he turns around to look at the Dream Village.
Unbeknownst to Gilbert, he had actually also sent Natas away along with Wesley. But unlike Wesley who went to find Jericho and the others and prepare them for an ambush. On the other hand, Natas went to directly find the members of the Freedom Fighters. historical
And the bell sound just now is Natas way of confirmation to him that the Freedom Fighters are inside the Dream Village at this very moment.
Immediately, Gilbert took out a pair of daggers and prepared himself for the worst.
"This time, let's make it obvious that we know they are here," Kayn waves his hand, taking out the Kingmaker from his Storage Ring. He decided to use this sword instead of the Molten Ice Sword as he intents on tempting the Freedom Fighters on attacking him.
That's right! The next step of their plan is to personally search for the Freedom Fighters.
"Let's split up," Kayn looks at Gilbert.
"Alright!" Gilbert nodded his head.
With that being said, the two went into different directions to search.
Kayn went east and Gilbert went west.
Meanwhile in the south, as long as Wesley had already found and informed Jericho's group, their team should be hiding and patiently waiting over there right now, silently observing Kayn and Gilbert from the shadows.
"I hope this time they will reveal their location," Kayn anticipates as he purposely moves through the shady alley.
Needless to say, this isn't actually a sudden change from their original plan.
By personally searching for the Freedom Fighters who are currently hiding in the Dream Village, they are making them think that it's only going to be a matter of time before they'll get caught. This will achieve the part where they are making them feel that they are pressed on time.
Moreover, by revealing the Kingmaker, he is increasingly tempting their selfish desires of getting it for themselves in each passing minute. And to add on to that, he purposely went to search all on his own.
A young man who is carrying a legendary weapon in his hand is searching for them all on his own with his only bodyguard going to the opposite side of the Dream Village.
Although this is very suspicious, as long as they don't find anyone else other than Kayn in the surrounding, they will start believing that he is an ignorant and foolish young man who got caught up by his arrogance after succedding multiple times against the Assembly of Freedom.
The young man's action is no different from luring them in, thinking that he can defeat them all by himself.
As time continous to pass, Kayn started confirming this assumption of his as he senses people are secretly following and observing him from the shadows.
He doesn't believe that those people are Jericho and the others, because if it was them, they won't move this obvious.
It was like these people wants him to find out in order to see what his next action would be and depending from that it would reveal whether this was all a trap or that he really intents on fighting them all by himself.
With that realization in mind, Kayn decided to go to an alleyway that leads to a dead-end. Albeit it wasn't just any dead-end, it has a huge open space which is secretly being used as an entrance to the underground passage underneath the Dream Village.
That open space would definitely act as open invitation for the Freedom Fighters prompting them in to fight against him at that place.
Kayn soon reached the dead-end corner of the alleyway, and as expected, it didn't take long for the members of the Freedom Fighters to finally reveal themselves.
It was a squad made up of a total of six members, two females while the rest were males, respectively a mage, a priest, a guardian, two knights, and an assassin.
