Chapter 98: Lion Group

Half an hour ago,

Kai and Tasha were standing in front of four dead bodies, who were supposed to be the largest group. The bodies were covered by blood.

The battle was hard-fought but was worth it because he got the information he needed for the mission. It seemed that their base was in an empty city called Cameta, around the southwest of Belem's Military Base, where Risa was stationed earlier.

Looking at this, Kai thought there would be a high chance for Risa to be the terrorist. Sadly, even knowing this would not help him since he could only put his trust in Michelle and Ayaka. Because of that, Kai and Tasha tried to search the base as fast as possible.

After around half an hour, Kai picked up a loud sound, consisting of many footsteps around the area. The supposed empty city turned out to be a terrorist base.

"More than three hundred people… and with this timing, we should safely assume there are more who are currently asleep. If I want to focus on counting them, we need to get closer, but the mission is only to locate the enemy base. I suppose we should call it a day." Kai tried to count the people by their footsteps before turning to Tasha.

"Yeah. This is their battle, not us." She shrugged.

Kai then took out the pen and pushed the blue button three times, signaling it was three kilometers from their position before throwing the pen on the ground.

After doing what he needed to do, he nodded to Tasha. "We are going back to the base. If what I predicted was right, then the base would be chaotic right now."

Tasha took a deep breath before teleporting them again and again toward the base. Until Kai suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

Tasha, who was in the middle of making a magic circle, suddenly had her heart skip a beat. "Is there something wrong?"

"Michelle and the rest are running toward us from that direction," Kai said, pointing his finger toward the southwest

"Hm? How far?"

"More than three kilometers, we can teleport to two kilometers ahead and another teleport right behind them to make a sneak attack," Kai said.

"Alright." She nodded and teleported them there before looking at Kai.

"They are still moving. On my signal, teleport us for another one kilometer." He said on his signal because even for her, teleporting at an exact range such as 1435 meters would be too hard. That was why he decided to wait for a bit more, waiting for the others to reach that place.

After around one minute, Kai suddenly shouted. "Now!"

She used teleportation magic as quickly as possible.

Appearing right behind the enemy, Kai immediately charged at them with his swords, trying to break their formation. Seeing the condition of the general, Kai realized that she was on the same side.

Because of that, his charge was to save her. Tasha also took a few steps back before drawing her bows.

"Ambush!"

At this time, Michelle already swung her sword. "Shadow Slash!"

This attack instantly created a gap in their formation and Kai quickly took that chance to attack the one who had General Cindy. There were two people that tried to stop him, but Lightning Arrow struck one of them while the other got a fiery bird.

Kai only smiled as he snapped his finger in the middle of the enemy, creating a very disturbing sound.

"Lullaby."

*Ding!*

All of them tried to endure the excruciating pain on their ears, but he managed to loosen the grip of the one who carried the general. He took the general and threw it toward Michelle.

"Michelle!"

"I know." Michelle made a black magic circle, raising Cindy's shadow to grab her real self. "Shadow Manipulation Doll."

The shadow then brought her to Evan, so he could heal her. After making sure of that, she then started charging to help Kai, who was in combat with four enemies. "Ayaka, protect both of them."

Kai swung his swords toward the incoming attacks, which were spears. He instantly showed his powerful strength and blew these two always before ducking down because the other two were shooting at him.

At this time, Michelle had arrived, swinging both her swords toward one of them. She decided to kill one person at a time while Kai fought the other three.

After knowing her for so long, he already knew what she wanted to do and completely held these the other three as long as he could.

"Bam Bam!"

Kai turned his head, avoiding another two shots from the enemy. He then tried to kill the spear user with his sword.

Although the spear user could only be on the defensive because of his strength, Kai also could not pass through her. After clashing another thirty seconds, Kai noticed Michelle was going to use her Shadow Slash.

He then swung both of his swords from above, trying to pin her to the ground. The spear user tried to fight back with her strength, but Kai suddenly released one of his swords as his hand moved toward her neck and grabbed it. He gritted his teeth and raised her before throwing her toward Michelle.

"Michelle!"

"Shadow-" Just when Michelle wanted to use her Shadow Slash to attack her enemy, Kai's shout immediately made her turn her head and smirked. She halted the slash a little bit and made a swing on her back. "-Slash!"

"No, you won't!" Her opponent was trying to stop her, but a purple light suddenly pierced her head. It was Tasha's arrow. The reason why she hid after the first attack was for this moment.

With her arrow and Michelle's Shadow Slash killed an enemy respectively, only two other enemies left that tried to escape. Sadly, they could not because Kai immediately stopped them.

They tried to shoot him, but with his ears and reaction speed, no bullet managed to hit him. Seeing Kai manage to corner them, Tasha immediately sent another arrow.

Unfortunately, they already knew her position as one of them shot her arrow. Little did they know, the arrow was only a distraction for Kai to catch up. He leaped toward the one that destroyed Tasha's arrow and swung his sword.

The other one wanted to stop him as she aimed her gun toward him. Unbeknownst to her, the moment Kai pursued them, Michelle also chased them but right behind Kai so they could not see her figure. However, when Kai leaped toward his target, it gave Michelle's a good line of sight to the other one.

"Shadow Slash!" She instantly swung her sword, killing her target. At the same time, Kai's sword already reached his target's neck and sliced it.

"Fu." Kai let out a long breath after killing her. Before looking at Michelle or the others, he turned his head toward Evan and General Cindy, who managed to raise her body again.

She came toward Kai with a serious expression before making a salute to him. "Thank you for your help. If not, Evan Young and I might be taken to their base. At that time, no one could tell what they would do."

"Evan Young's safety is our mission or at least our front mission. So, no big deal." He said.

"So, what are you going to do now?" She asked.

"I think we will wait in this place until the situation is under control. After all, fighting the terrorist is not our mission." Kai said. "Though, I heard eight people's footsteps coming toward us. They are still three minutes away."

"They are the terrorists." She nodded. "I would like to ask for your help to eliminate them. Since I can move now, I can handle a group of four easily while your group handles the other one. I will report your achievement to the army and school after this."

Kai took a glimpse of Michelle's and Tasha's expressions to check their condition and nodded. "Only this one. I will not help with the base."

"That's enough."

"Evan Young, you are going to stay here for a while. There should be no enemy other than them in a five kilometers radius." Kai said.

"Alright." He nodded.

After seeing this, they decided to move out.

…

At the same time, inside the military base in the US base was chaotic too. They were preparing for a big raid according to the information Kai provided. At first, they did not believe Kai's information, but because of one man, they decided to believe it and prepared the soldiers.

The mysterious man was none other than Michael Graham, Michelle's father. After hearing about their mission, he immediately gathered the information and came toward this military base. It was a mission that the government forced his future son-in-law to take.

He would surely force his way to join the mission. Even the general could say nothing after debating with him.

In just one hour, around four hundred elite soldiers were already lined up, waiting for the orders.

The general and Michael Graham walked toward them for the briefing. "We have the location of D'Ruler. It is in the empty city called Cameta. This will be a big scale raid and I don't want any failure.

"Platoon 1 to 3 will be our vanguards while Platoon 4 to 7 will be our main attackers. Platoon 8 and 9 will set up a perimeter around Cameta to make sure no one could escape.

"If I can be honest with all of you, the one who found their location was only a student. Don't you guys feel ashamed to make a student risking his life to discover their location?"

"Yes, Sir!" All soldiers shouted at the same time.

"Then move out! Failure won't be tolerated!" The general shouted.

"Yes, Sir!"
