Giant Tower:

The Headmaster and the intelligence department elder are waiting for the good news.

Both of them are watching the conflict in holographic projection with great interest.

The headmaster's mouth curved into an arc. They had paid enough price to make this happen. To kill Zack Lockwood. Many of their spies stationed in the Viper City are sacrificed.

It was not easy to develop a spy network silently under the nose of the Saw Scale Viper Academy.

It had taken them a decade-long work. But it was all over because they failed to execute the plan.

Seeing that lightning brat being pushed backward. His eyes gleamed with a twinkle. It will be a matter of time before he ends up dead.

At the same time, the old man next to him was confused. Everyone knows that Zack Lockwood is a lightning elemental warrior.

But in the projection, he saw no lightning attacks. He turned to the headmaster and asked, "Head, what happened to that brat's lightning element?"

"Ha...Ha...Ha...," The headmaster let out a small laugh.

He understood the old man's question. Looking at the projection, he said, "You don't know it. But these days this kid is searching for lightning-blessed land. So his progress is getting slower."

The intelligence department elder nodded his head in understanding. It's difficult to fight without using essence. This means that the lightning brat was pushed to a dead road from the beginning.

He didn't ask the headmaster where learned this news. Because a couple of minutes ago. He heard a shocking name in his mouth. The name is enough to send a cold shiver down everyone's spine.

So he shut his mouth and continued to watch the projection.

The headmaster didn't mind the old man's change in expression. The old man is clever enough to not offend him.

Already different voices are rising in the academy. Especially the sacrifice of spies caused a lot of dissatisfaction among elders.

Even the old ancestors in retreat began to question him. But somehow he made them suppressed with his words.

But he knows words' effect won't last long. Only action can make them silent. So the Giant Tower Headmaster watched the projection with hope.

Special Faction Head Office:

Carlos Kent is the same projection with a solemn expression on his face. He sent the faction members to their death. But he didn't show any hint of pity in his eyes.

He just wants the operation over. Whether their death will lead to an investigation or not. He didn't even think about it.

Carlos arranged some backup plans. If things go south, he will leave the academy. Right now, all he cares about is the breakthrough.

Because it's difficult to come across breakthrough treasure for Special Element Warriors.

When it comes to him it's even more difficult. There are not many 7th-grade treasures available in this region.

Even if there is treasure they are locked in the treasury of the academy. That's why when the Giant Tower Headmaster made a request.

He agreed to help him.

...

From MC's Respective:

Pfff!

I coughed up blood. The sudden appearance of the fireball caught me off guard. The rogue warriors are making sneak attacks right now.

Seeing me down, the burly man swung his ax again.

"Brother, wait for me," Ernest shouted.

But he was blocked by four other rogue warriors. The constant consumption of the essence made him slower.

The continuous fighting is also wearing him down.

The situation in Laverne is also not good either. She was on the verge of consuming the last bit of essence.

Any longer in the fight will lead to her death. She began to pay the price of rapid consumption.

Meanwhile,

I mobilized the blood power in my bones. But instead of releasing. I transfer the power through the sword.

A hint of red color glittering can be seen over a black blade.

When the black sword collides with the ax. This time the change happens.

Clang~

The giant ax starts to tremble. The burly figure felt the impact in his arms. Like hitting an iron plate.

The collision force hurts his arms.

Argh~

The burly figure let out a small grunt before retreating backward. He looked at me with an astonishing gaze.

"What are you?" His words reached my ears.

But I got black lines on my forehead. This guy meant what I'm practicing. I didn't answer him. I'm glad that I found a new way to use the blood power.

Using the blood power in the sword blade. I can easily cause more damage.

"Help me!" Laverne's loud shrill jolts me awake.

Then I saw a sword blade piercing through my right arm.

"You dare!" My eyes grew cold. The next second, I dashed toward her opponent.

The person attacking her was a rogue warrior in his fifties. These types of people are fishing in muddy waters. I hate them to the core.

My sudden shout alarmed him. He immediately let go of Laverne and turned towards me.

Seeing that I brought my black sword to attack. Using the blood power again, I made a vertical slash.

The rogue warrior brought his sword to attack me.

Seeing that I heavily brought down the sword.

When the black blade comes into contact with the opponent's sword. It easily shattered into pieces.

Crack~

Seeing the broken sword, the opponent's face changes drastically.

"No!" He shouted in fear.

But I didn't slow down my sword. The sword tore through the opponent's defense and pierced his chest.

Pfff~

Blood splattered on the ground. The enemy staggered because of a chest injury. I didn't give him a chance. I targeted the opponent's neck.

I swung the sword again. The blade made a clean cut. The head rolled over the ground.

Tud!

And the enemy's lifeless body dropped dead on the ground. This all happened in a blink of an eye.

The rogue warriors were shocked by witnessing such a quick kill. Ignoring their gazes, I turned to Laverne.

Seeing her on the ground, I hurriedly took healing pills from the storage ring and rushed to her.

Fortunately, she has a trace of clarity. After getting the pills from me. She swallowed and sat cross-legged to refine the healing energy.

Seeing that I held the black sword tightly. If anyone wants to attack her, they need to first get past me.

At the same time, I saw Ernest's situation. He is not good either. A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. Do I have to expose my body strength? A question appeared in my heart.

Everything that is happening is beyond my imagination. I saw many other rogue warriors starting to come.

When I thought it was over. A loud shout made me surprised.

"Kill all the rogue warriors. Don't let anyone escape."

When I turned toward the source of the voice. I saw a middle-aged man leading a team of warriors toward me.

At the same time, the expression of the rogue warriors changes drastically. Apart from the heavyweight, the small fishes start to flee.

But they didn't know that other elders also took action. They already gave orders to block the exit.

The patrol guards are gathered in front of the exit gate to arrest the rogue warriors.

"Young brother, don't worry. We came to support you," The middle-aged man said to me.

But my gaze was set on the family crest. Seeing the same family crest on the rest of the warriors. I understood that they are a local force.

A hint of relief flashes in my eyes.

"Guard her," I replied.

The middle-aged man saw Laverne being focused on healing.

Seeing that he nodded his head at me. The next moment, I dashed toward Ernest's side to help.

The middle-aged man ordered the warriors to attack the rogue warriors hiding in the inn.

Similar scenes are taking place on four sides of the city. It took some time for local forces to gather information.

After knowing the identity of the victims, they immediately dispatched their warriors to help.

This sudden turn of events caught the rogue warriors off guard. Especially the powerful rogue warriors who wanted to accomplish the task remained silent.

But still, some desperate warriors are looking for a chance. As long as the elders personally won't make a move. They have a chance.

By that time, I arrived to help Ernest. I swung my sword against rogue warriors who were besieging Ernest.

Pfff!

My sword cut the arm of a rogue warrior. Blood splattered on the ground. Without giving him a chance to breathe, I slit his throat.

Cut~

Blood sprayed on the ground. The warrior touches his neck in disbelief. Before he could speak he lost his life.

Tud~

The lifeless body dropped dead on the ground. My arrival gave Ernest time to breathe. The others who were besieging him retreated backward.

Seeing that I didn't chase them. Rather I supported Ernest and we walked towards Laverne's side.

"Do you have healing pills?" Ernest asked. He saw Laverne's condition. Her complexion is improving slowly.

Then I gave him a few healing pills. Before coming here, I already made enough preparations. But I never expected to use healing pills sooner.
