Chapter 221: Under Protection

"Arrghh.. You outsider, move!! I will deal with you later after I kill Angus!!" yelled Neil madly.

Anna didn't reply and kept looking at Neil coldly. 

Just as Neil wants to attack Anna again, "Neil, Stop!!" said a mature woman who is blocking Neil's path.

"Move, mother!! All of this happens because of these outsiders. Once I kill them, everything is going to be back as usual!!" said Neil madly.

Looking that her son is already out of his mind, the mature woman cast a spell [2nd Circle – Binding Chain] to contain Neil. Neil, out of his mind, tries to avoid the incoming chain, but suddenly a tiny fist is coming at Neil rapidly.

Anna once again hit Neil in his stomach and sent him a few meters away. Using this opportunity, Neil's mother binds him with the Binding Chain. 

As Neil kept struggling, "I am sorry, son. [3rd Circle - Deep Sleep]." said Neil's mother while casting the spell.

Getting hit by the spell, Neil immediately fell asleep while being bound by the chain. 

Looking that Neil is apprehended, "Guard, Neil. Don't let him create more chaos!!" commands Neil's mother towards the people surrounding her.

"Yes, Madam." replied the others.

Then, Neil's mother went back towards the battlefield, helping the others to evacuate. Soon, all the poisoned villagers managed to get evacuated while the others stalled the attacker. 

Seeing the battlefield condition, Farkas knows that it is time to do his next plan. Otherwise, more people on his side will die. However, the furious Jade didn't let him get away or have a chance. 

Currently, Jade's body is in red color while releasing hot fire mana nearby. He keeps attacking Farkas without giving him a chance to attack or take a breath. 

Farkas himself is frantically defending his life against the fiery Jade. Each time they clash, they will create a shockwave nearby. 

"Don't think of coming out here alive, Farkas!!" yelled Jade.

"Tch.. you leave me no choice. You should be glad. You have an amazing son!!" said Farkas while he created a hand sign.

At this moment, a bright light came from Neil's pocket. *BOOM* another Infernal giant appeared in the middle of the evacuated people. Neil, who is still in a deep sleep, couldn't help but get crushed by the infernal giant.

"Neil!!" shouted Neil's mother from far away, who realized this.

"Hahaha… Jade, now the situation is back from the start. Let's see how many of your beloved people die under the third infernal giant." said Farkas.

"FARKAS!!" yelled Jade as he launched a powerful attack.

Farkas once again counters his attack with his own while getting pushed back. 

"Oi.. Oi.. Are you sure you want to keep fighting me? Many of your people will die at this rate." said Farkas.

Jade ignores Farkas's taunt and keeps launching attacks. He knows if he keeps Farkas alone, the other high-grade combatant may get killed by Farkas. 

While Farkas and Jade keep fighting, the newly summoned infernal giant creates havoc and starts killing the others. Unfortunately, Angus, who is still giving first aid to Isvel, is nearby. Before it could crush the defenseless Angus, Anna parries the infernal giant's fist.

"Stupid big fat bubble, don't disturb Angus!!" said Anna while standing in front of the Infernal Giant.

Then, the infernal Giant clashes with Anna's small body. Despite the difference in size, Anna managed to hold and parry the Infernal Giant attack. Still, she was getting more hurt as she could only withstand the Infernal Giant attack with her small body.

'This stupid bubble is annoying. I need to transform to fight it properly.' thought Anna inwardly.

Just as Anna wants to transform, "GRAAHH!!" Ilgor comes to help Anna contain the Infernal Giant.

With the help of Ilgor, Anna managed to contain the infernal giant. However, both of them could only have and cannot damage the Infernal Giant. The Infernal Giant's defense is too strong for their current attacks.

At this moment, "Huft.. finally done." said Angus as he finally stabilized Isvel's condition.

Then, Angus immediately brings Isvel to a safer place using Beast Walk. Putting down Isvel in a safer location, he moved back to help fight the Infernal Giant. 

On the way, Angus manages to observe the battlefield and find the truly dangerous one is not the attacker but the rampage Infernal Giant. Because of the three infernal giants and Neil's betrayal, many people are dying. He couldn't help but sigh at this sight.

"Ilgor, try to parry the Infernal Giant fist. Anna, you can use your transformation." command Angus as he takes out Sky Thorn.'

"Yes, master. GRAAHH!!" replied Ilgor shortly before used berserk and madly charged at the Infernal Giant.

"Really?? Yey…" replied Anna as she started to create her black miasma claw in her hand.

After transforming into her monster mode, she releases an ominous aura towards the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, she already approaches the infernal giant and slashes its chest using her claw with grinning.

The claw managed to hurt the Infernal Giant but only gave a shallow wound. Still, because it is a miasma attack, the injury slowly corrodes the infernal giant body. The infernal giant immediately launches a counter-attack on Anna using its gigantic strong fist.

At this moment, Ilgor arrives in front of Anna, brandishing his twin axe [Axe Art - Berserk Slash]. *Baaam* the two forces clash and negate each other forces reach into a stalemate. 

Using this opportunity, Angus brandished his Sky Thorn towards the Infernal Giant hand [Spiralling Slash]. The attack is like a meat grinder and gouged part of the Infernal's hand.

"Growwll!!" roared the infernal giant in pain.

"Tch.. What a sturdy hand. I planned to cut off its hand completely." said Angus.

While Angus is fighting the Infernal Giant, Jayna starts to massacre the enemy with her fiery sword. The enemy could only resist her hot fiery blade for a while before getting burned down from its temperature.

Looking at Angus and Jayna's deed from far away, "Damn, those outsiders!! If they are not here, your village will be destroyed already." said Farkas while clashing with Jade.

"Shut up and receive your end, Farkas!!" said Jade while starting to get weary as he kept launching a full-powered attack.

At this moment, a blurry black figure suddenly appears near Farkas and Jade, who are still fighting. Looking at the mysterious black figure, Jade and Farkas stop their fight.

"Who are you?" asked Jade as he couldn't sense the other person.

"Are you from that hidden organization?" asked Farkas with a smirk.

The black figure person only nodded his head. 

'Shit, why are they here? Didn't they never care about the other village conflict before.' thought Jade inwardly.

"Good, you finally came. Hurry, kill those two outsiders!!" said Farkas with a happy smile.

"Impossible." replied the black figure in a hoarse tone.

"Huhh.. Why?? I already paid you!!" asked Farkas in confusion.

"Both of them are under our protection list." said the black figure coldly.

"Under protection?? What do you mean? Then, why are you here?!!" asked Farkas.

"I am here to return your payment. Because you target someone under our protection list, you will only get a twenty percent reimbursement according to the contract. Do you accept it?" explained the dark hazy figure.

"Y-You.. what the hell!!" cursed Farkas, but he still didn't hold himself against the shadowy figure.

"Hahahaha… It seems your plan is backfiring you, Farkas." laughed Jade, who was feeling relief inwardly.

"Did you accept it?" asked the shadowy figure once again towards Farkas.

"F-Fine, I accept it." said Farkas as he knew he couldn't do anything towards the person in front of him.

Hearing Farkas's acceptant, the hazy black figure takes out a brown sack and leaves it in front of Farkas before disappearing into nothingness. As soon as the shadowy figure is gone, Jade launches another attack towards Farkas.

"Now, it's time for your end!! [Godak Fire]." yelled Jade while enveloping his body with burning fire and approaching Farkas.

Once again, they resumed their clash and created a shockwave nearby. In the meantime, *KABOOM* The second infernal giant was finally destroyed under the attack of Alfredo and many other Sur village's combatants.

After destroying the second Infernal Giant, Gilford controls Alfredo to confront the last infernal giant fighting Angus and his group. The last infernal giant receives various wounds under Angus's flurry attack skill, but it is still quite alive.

"As expected of the fifth circle summoning creature, its resilience is at another level." said Angus while dodging the Infernal Giant's attack.

Both Anna and Ilgor already retreat behind to recover as they already exhaust themself. At this moment, Alfredo comes attacking the last infernal giant from the side. Looking that only one infernal giant is left, Farkas decides to retreat.

"Everyone, retreat!!" shouted Farkas.

"Do you think you can escape?!!" said Jade.

"I am not sure, but your people will die at this rate." replied Farkas calmly.

Then, he creates another hand sign while flaring up his mana.

Seeing this, Jade immediately looks at the glowing Infernal Giant in the back.

"Not good!!" said Jade while going towards the Infernal Giant as fast as possible.
