Chapter 403: Clash in the Spririt World

"There are too many people from Association and Union rushing all around.."? Mr. Cool muttered as he looked at the people rushing towards the Roxley District while hiding behind the trash can in the nearby alleyway.

"Get in the spirit world, carrying a bloodied person like you will get me thrown into a cell right now.." Mr. Cool grumbled.

Max looked at him. He wasn't wrong, besides even if they get to the Edwinson House, what next?

Grandpa wasn't there to cover up for him, and if Uncle Saleos somehow caught the wind of his return before Uncle Razel, then that was another thing to worry about...

Max though for a bit before finally coming to a decision....

He took out the crest that he had received from the Walkers. Lisa's grandfather to be specific.

He then passed it onto Mr. Cool and explained the plan to him.

"Send me in front of that b*stard..." Max made a last request before his body vanished.

...

A while ago...

The girls had finally relaxed. The old man and the frog weren't paying attention to them and they didn't know what to do..

They could only wait for answers...

But things had turned a bit awkward now...

After calming down, Lora started to avoid Aria and turned a bit meek. Aria looked at her with a worried look. But Lora couldn't bring herself to look her in the eyes.

Namen sat beside Lora trying to cheer her up. Even though they were all good friends in the past, things had turned a bit different now, Lora had very less interaction with any of them except for Namen.

Their mothers were friends after all and side from that, they were practically on the same side. Both of their families supported the Union.

"What's wrong with her?" Erina asked in confusion.

"I wish I had an idea...even though I try to call myself her friend, I don't even know what's troubling her.." Aria replied with a sigh.

Erina looked at her in surprise and a smile formed on her face. Even though they were standing on the opposite side, Aria still called her friends.

"Sh*t! That scared the crap out of me.."

A voice rang around the house and it immediately grabbed everyone's attention. It seemed to be coming from the garden.

Lora's ears immediately perked up and she raised her head. She had recognised the owner of the voice.

Lora immediately rushed out of the house and everyone followed behind.

When they rushed out of the house they were stunned to see two guys in pretty messed up condition.

Wilson was still good with a bit of injuries and sat on the ground trying to calm down and relax all the tension that had built up in his muscles.

Lear laid beside him looking up at the sky. And he didn't look good....

"Lear!!" Lora rushed up to him like a gale of wind before anybody could even have a proper look at the two individuals.

Erina was the next one. She obviously recognised her brother, "Wilson!!"

Wilson turned his head to look at Erina. His eyes were wide and the shock on his face was evident.

'Why is she here?'

"What happened to you? Who did this to you?" Erina asked as she lightly touched the wounds on his body. Her eyes were breaming with anger and were a bit teary.

"Lear! W-Wha...What do I do? I-I need...to get h-help..." Lora started to panic looking at Lear's state.

Lear struggled a bit but succeeded in grasping her hand.

"Calm down...it's going to be alright.." Lear said with a smile.

"B-But.." Lora looked at him with tears spilling out of her eyes.

"Let me seal his wounds..." Namen walked up to them as she raised her hand and Lear could feel a cool sensation over his wounds.

"It might hurt but it will stop the blood.." Namen said as she looked at Lear.

On the other hand...

"I will kill them all. Who dares to lay a hand on my brother!!!!" Erina was almost about to enter frenzy.

"Calm down! It's nothing serious." Wilson cut her off and grabbed her by her arms, "Besides, what are you doing here?"

His voice had turned grim and he was almost sweating. He knew what was happening outside, even the thought of Erina being out there was enough to give him a heart attack.

"It's my fault. I got her involved..." Lear said with difficulty.

"What do you mean?" Wilson turned his head to look at him.

Lear looked at Erina and gulped. She might not be happy to know she had been fooled. He gave an awkward smile and decided to take not much of the blame, "It was Max's plan to use her and get into the Auction hall..."

"Ah! Thank God...she is such an idiot.." Wilson sighed in relief as he fell flat beside Lear.

"What do you mean by that?!!" Erina looked at him clearly upset by his remark.

But Wilson didn't reply. If she had not been fooled by Max and Lear, there was a chance that she might have been caught up in the fight.

"Can anyone explain what's going on?" Aria asked as she looked at them.

"I am not good at explaining things..." Wilson said and closed his eyes.

"I am not the one deciding things here...ask that guy over there.." Lear said as he looked towards the roof.

Everyone turned their head towards the roof.

"A kid?" Aria asked in surprise.

"What is a child doing there?" Erina asked in confusion as well.

"Who the hell are you calling a kid?!!!" Bahamut's angry voice resonated in the surrounding as he angrily glared at the people below.

He had arrived earlier then Lear and Wilson and had just taken a seat on the roof. He was observing the spirit world and trying to get familiar with spirit energy. The main reason was to not let himself get relaxed.

Max and Mr. Cool were still not here. There was no guarantee he wouldn't be called out for help. He couldn't let himself out of this state....

But now these people had to go ahead and piss him off...

"I will let you two off for this once considering you two are the sisters of those two guy...but next time...I won't show mercy.." Bahamut said as he looked at them.

Everyone looked at the roof where Bahamut was angrily glaring at Lear.

"What a cute kid.." Namen said with a smile.

Bahamut's face twitched as a vein popped out on his forehead.

"Don't tease him...he might kill you..." Wilson immediately decided to intervene. He had seen the little kid mercilessly slaughter a group of criminals after they made fun of him like...'You haven't even drunk enough of your mama's milk..this isn't the place for you to be...'

And then they were dead...

Namen looked at Wilson and didn't speak. Erina was giving her signs to calm down as well. She knew that Wilson was being serious.

"Hmph! You better behave..." Bahamut gave a snort before sitting back on his butt.

"You are not going to explain what's going on?" Aria asked, looking at the kid. Her expression was still a bit odd. After all, no matter how you look Bahamut was just a kid.

"What is there to ask? I can't believe that guy just dumped you all here. At least he should have knocked you out with an iron bar or something ...this is giving me headache..." Bahamut looked at them if they were a pain in his ass.

The girls immediately clutched the back of their heads.

"What to do now? I would have killed you all but...we have two younger sisters of our comrades here...that makes it troublesome.." Bahamut said as he looked at Wilson from the corner of his eyes.

"Why don't you sacrifice your sister for a greater cause?" Bahamut asked as he looked at Wilson.

Wilson stared at him.

"Fine, I get it...lets just cut their tongues and hands...as long as they can't speak or write..

... it shouldn't be a problem." Bahamut suggested but Wilson's gaze didn't change.

Namen and Lora shivered hearing those words. Aria's face didn't look good while Erina remained calm.

"You don't expect me to just let them go after seeing this right..." Bahamut finally said with a sigh before turning to look towards Namen and Lora.

"Those two are on Union's side moreover.....and let me remind you..that guy from Tempest house that almost sent you and Lear to grave was her soon-to-be husband...."

"That guy already knows about Max, do you want another one of us to be on their hit list? We already have enough trouble to deal with and I don't plan to babysit them.."

"I think you have some misconception kid..." Wilson suddenly stood up. He had just met Bahamut today for the first time. He had only heard of him until now.

This intense situation wasn't the best occasion for interaction for sure.

"Kid?" Bahamut looked at Wilson.

"You are smart. I don't doubt it. But you are wrong about the way you are dealing with the situation." Wilson said as he stared at him. The situation seemed to be getting tense.

"Who the hell are you calling a kid?!! If you have a problem just say it to my face.." Bahamut glared at him as his club appeared in his hands.

"What? You gonna throw a tantrum now? That's why I hate kids...tsk..." Wilson clicked his tongue.

"Whoosh!!"

Bahamut pushed his feet against the roof, destroying it with a jump.

Wilson's figure blurred as his body got clad in the purple thread of lightning.

"Get away!!" Lear shouted as arranged up to his feet and grabbed Lora by one of his hands and caught Namen with the other before backing away.

Erina caught Aria and backed away as well.

"Idiots!"

Lear cursed looking at them.

"Boom!"

They clashed, destroying the house and the nearby land.

Erina looked at the scene with wide eyes and so did the other girls.

Wilson aside...the kid was freaking strong...

"You aren't bad...". Bahamut said as he looked at his hairs which were pointing upwards. He was zapped.

"You as well, kiddo.." Wilson said as he looked at the position of the clash. He was flung away almost three times the distance that Bahamut was.

The kid had clearly overpowered him.

"Shall we go for around two.." Bahamut smiled.

"Why not.."

Both of these people were battle maniacs after all...

Within an instant, both of them were rushing towards each other.

But before they could clash again, a figure shot through the sky directly towards the ground.

"Boom!"

When the dust settled...a new person had arrived..

historical

Max was holding Bahamut's club with his broken hand and Wilson's leg had landed on the side of his chest.

Wilson and Bahmaut's eyes widened as they saw Max. His hairs had fallen over his face covering his eyes. He was covered in blood from head to toe.

Both of them had a single thought in their mind after looking at his figure.

This guy is alive right?
