Gretchen quickly took the position of the Captain as she lead the Mischievous Lion organization to kill the Sword and Magic members remaining inside the Smiling Lion street.
*Swooosh! *Swooosh! *Swooosh!
Obviously, although the situation was already disadvantageous for the Sword and Magic and that they were already bounded to lose, they still didn't give up and did their best to fight back.
In Sword and Magic's mind, if they can't complete their mission, then they might as well bring as many Mischievous Lion organization members to the grave with them.
*Swooosh! *Swooosh! *Swooosh!
Suddenly though,
*BOOOOOOM!
In the location of the Pathway of Elites, an explosion suddenly happened, causing 1 of the Pathway of Elites to crumble down and fall.
Soon after, from Leo's location, he immediately saw members of the Sword and Magic going up.
"Damn, they have another plan in mind!" Leo exclaimed out loud before motioning his hand to lead the remaining Mischievous Lion organization members to come after the Sword and Magic members.
Blaze who was at the right side of the Pathway of Elites also did the same as he sent out his squad to send reinforcement to the Headguard who was currently having a hard time right now fending off 3 Sword and Magic members.
"You dare think of trying to see what's above the Pathway of Elites?!" The Headguard sneered inwardly.
*BOOOOOM!!
All of the Pathway of Elites was suddenly destroyed from the top, causing all of it to crumble and fall.
The Sword and Magic members who were trying to get up the Pathway of Elites were unfortunately brought down, too.
"Do you really think we didn't prepare any countermeasures in case some people dared to force themselves to climb the Pathway of Elites?" The Headguard said while wearing a mischievous grin on his face.
What happened was the assistants inside the counter of the clock tower in Lion Heart city had cut off all of the stairs under the fountain by exploding the bombs secretly hidden around the stairs.
*Boooom! *Booom! *Booom!
"Your Sword and Magic organization is a behemoth existence, so it's next to stupid if they thought of fitting themselves in a small hole!" The Headguard mocked as he swings his sword.
*Szzzhhhh!
One of the three Sword and Magic member's head was cut off.
"Not only can't you see what's inside the hole you're trying to put your feet on, but you also don't know whether they can kill you or not!" The Headguard swings his sword once again.
*Szzzhhhh!
Another Sword and Magic member's head left the body.
"So, tell your dear and honorable leader next time, Vladimir, was it? That no matter how strong they are, going in the middle of the enemy territory without enough preparation is stupid!" The Headguard swing his sword one last time.
*Szzzhhhh!
"Especially if you dare underestimate them!"
The Headguard swings his sword to clean off the blood before quickly putting it back to its sheath.
"Headguard, are you okay?" Blaze asked the moment he arrived.
"Nothing serious, although they have a stronger cultivation than me, they can never expect the hidden mechanism of my sword, hahahaha!" The Headguard laughed in response.
"That's the exact reason why Gretchen is called Aries," Leo joined in.
"Oh, your here Excellency, Leo!" The Headguard bowed his head a bit to show his respect.
"Have you noticed their Leader?" Leo quickly followed with a question.
Hearing Leo's question, the Headguard thought for a bit before replying, "I did notice a suspicious person. He was a 7 Star Mage, flying up above us. He only sent out a Golem with a similar feature to those of a Bedrock Kong, but he immediately retreated the moment the Pathway of Elites was destroyed."
"Which way?" Leo quickly asked. If he isn't mistaken, then that person should be Evangelion.
However, he had never really expected that Evangelion is actually seriously bad, or maybe extremely bad, in leading people. Just with a few moves of his and hundreds of Sword and Magic members were already dead. He was still a young man, although he's more capable than the others, Evangelion is still more experienced than him, at least in his opinion.
Moreover, Evangelion shouldn't be as bad as what he's seeing right now. In fact, just based on how he had taught him the Bedrock Kong technique in his Earth Elemental, he can confidently say that he is really good at using everything he had to the max potential.
"Curiously, that person actually went to the Smiling Lion street. Does he perhaps want to save his men or something? But with Gretchen over there, he should most likely be going to his death." The Headguard replied in mockery.
Without wasting any more time, Leo quickly went back to the Smiling Lion street. Though he only bought Charlotte with him this time saying that the others would just cause him more trouble.
While running, Leo can't help but thought, "All of Evangelion's actions so far are all just plain stupid, this is not something like he would even do. Unless if that person is not Evangelion but someone else, which is also possible. Anyways, I would be finding out soon!"
Moments later, Leo finally returned back to the Smiling Lion street. But with how chaotic the situation was, it is almost impossible to spot Evangelion.
"Pst!"
"Charlotte, do you see anyone powerful? Like a guy who has a cultivation of 7 Star." Leo asked Charlotte.
"So far, I've only seen a bunch of 6 Star..." Charlotte replied while her eyes were observing the chaotic battle in front of them.
"Pst!"
"Damn, wherein the Smiling Lion street could Evangelion even go?" Leo can't help asking.
"Pst!"
"Can you please stop that!" Leo exclaimed out loud as he turned his head.
However, the moment Leo saw who was trying to call his attention, he was right after stupefied.
A handsome man that he had met when he was escorting Veronica to Silver city was hiding in the dark of an alley, staring at him.
"Clydesdale...?"
Seeing that Leo finally noticed him, Clydesdale looked left to right first, seemingly like he doesn't want anyone to see him before motioning for Leo to come.
Obviously, Leo wouldn't just follow what Clydesdale had motioned him to do. They are currently in the middle of a war right now, and not to mention they have already mentioned that he's their target.
"Charlotte, can you beat that guy?" Leo called out Charlotte.
"Is he the one you meant?" Charlotte asked.
"Unfortunately, he is not. But it's still fortunate because he is close to that person." Leo replied.
"A 3 Star cultivation? Leo, are you perhaps mocking me?" Charlotte shoots a look of doubt to Leo.
"Don't underestimate that guy, he can even send a Mage similar in level to him into his illusion without any problem and that person didn't even notice how. So, I'm assuming he can also affect anyone higher level than him." Leo warned.
"Now that you mentioned that, I think I'm not confident anymore in beating that guy." Charlotte scratched her cheeks in embarrassment.
"Why?"
"Anything related to mental attack is my weakness, hehehehe..." Charlotte replied. This was actually also the reason why she didn't dare to do the Consciousness Labyrinth.
Noticing that Leo doesn't want to come, Clydesdale suddenly turned around, seemingly to call for someone else.
Right after, a beautiful woman with brown hair appeared.
"Angel...?"
Unlike Clydesdale, Angel didn't act like a person who's trying to call out a customer from the dark alley. She didn't hesitate to walk close towards Leo.
"What are you doing, Lady Angel...?" Clydesdale wanted to quickly stop Angel, but he was afraid of being seen so he still stuck on his location, not daring to come out of the dark alley. Anyways, Leo wouldn't kill Angel, right?
"What are you doing here?" Leo asked with a very solemn voice, "Don't tell me you're also here to abduct me?"
"I'm here for another thing, so please come with me." Angel said.
Leo immediately became dumbfounded, but he didn't show it to his face, "Why should I?"
Just like what he had mentioned before, they were in the middle of a war right now and had even stated clearly that their target is him, so if he is still in his right mind, then he wouldn't be following with a member of his enemy.
"Madam Silva needs your help." Angel replied.
"Eh..." Leo felt like he was struck with lightning. The Blood Contract that he had signed quickly lit up in his consciousness, indicating that Madam Silva indeed needed his help right now. Now, it was waiting for him to decide to accept her call for help or not.
"Lead the way." Leo didn't hesitate anymore whether they were setting up a trap for him or not. The Blood Contract would only send him a signal that Madam Silva is needing his help if it was really genuine. Therefore, she can't use it to lie to him in order to set up a trap.
Hearing that, Angel turned around to lead the way.
"Leo, are you really sure that you want to follow her? Although I'm a 9 Star Battle Mage, I can't assure you that I will be able to protect you when it turns out to be a trap," Charlotte reminded Leo.
"Don't worry, someone I trust is with them right now." Leo assured Charlotte. Madam Silva was someone he could really trust. Although they are currently enemies right now, that can always change depending on the situation.
Without any choice, Charlotte could only follow after Leo as they were lead somewhere in the dark alley by Angel.
Along the way, Charlotte was firmly gripping her Six Headed Snake Twin Daggers on her hand, waiting for any life-threatening movements she could find, especially to that Clydesdale guy who can do an Illusion Magic spell.. As soon as she notices something suspicious, she would immediately kill Clydesdale first before going after Angel.
