Chapter 344: Fight With Rank-A Dark Guild Members [2]

-WHOOSH!

The sub-leader of the Dark Guild disappeared from their sight.

-BANG!

Before they could track him, Misha had been kicked in the stomach by the sub-leader, sending her flying backwards.

Hiro and Lisanna immediately sped up and went to confront the sub-leader before he hurt Misha more. Luckily, this time they made it on time and were able to stop the sub-leader.

Lisa also immediately started to heal Misha.

However, the fight had just begun and the sub-leader's attack was just a signal for his subordinates.

-CLANG! -CLANG!

Hiro fought with the sub-leader who was also the strongest of them. Hiro could tell he was the strongest by using his Wild Sense which showed Red which means it is an opponent that is very difficult to defeat.

However, difficult does not mean impossible, which is represented by the Black color. He still had hope as long as his opponent was red, though the chances of winning were extremely low.

Lisanna also had to fight a Rank-A AX user. Zion and Sylvia were in a similar situation as they also had to fight other Rank-A members.

Lisa and Misha confront the rest of the Dark Guild members which include 5 Rank-B and one Rank-A. Lisa has to stop healing Misha as they prepare to fight them.

-CLANG! -CLANG! -CLANK!

The situation was not looking good for Hiro and the others. Hiro with his System double power was barely able to keep up with the Dark Guild sub-leader who is in Rank-A. He was an assassin whose speed exceeded his by a lot.

On the other hand, Lisanna was fighting a Rank-A tank. Her speed was high and she could keep up with her opponent. However, except for speed, her opponent was superior in everything.

Similarly, Zion, Sylvia, Lisa, and Misha found themselves at the mercy of their enemies. In spite of this disadvantage, they put up a good fight and were able to buy enough time for other people to escape.

-SWISH!

The sub-leader smirked as he dodged Hiro's attacks effortlessly.

"Is this all you've got?"

He taunted. Sub-leader really didn't seem to think he would be defeated and it was backed with a reason as well. With all the factors, there was no way that they could lose.

"I expected more from you as you are hailed as the greatest talent in the world."

He was also thrilled that he would get to capture someone as famous as Hiro. Who was Hiro? His bounty in the underworld was as high as some of the Rank-S heroes. Everybody would be ecstatic to capture Hiro.

Zion and others also had their bounty as they were also sons and daughters of big guilds. With admiration comes hatred and they don't lack an enemy who would do anything to bring them down including capturing their child.

-SLASH! -SLASH!

Hiro and the others gritted their teeth, not willing to back down. They knew they had to find a way to defeat the Dark Guild members, but they were too strong and they had more numbers. The most that they did was take one of Rank-B out and Zion hurting one of Rank-A in the start.

Other than that, they could not do anything more against their enemy. While at the same time, they were getting exhausted more and more and their injuries also kept increasing.

They were fighting with all their power and using mana like crazy. On the other hand, their opponents were not using such mana-consuming techniques or anything which is why they didn't exhaust their mana.

It was only a matter of time before Hiro and his friend were defeated by them. They were also aware of that fact as their mana level kept on decreasing.

They were getting desperate but their opponent was too strong and even by utilizing all they have, they could not defeat them.

And what made Hiro more hopeless was the appearance of the last Dark Guild member.

( Is this it? Do we have no hope? )

Hiro thought.

As previously mentioned, Hiro's skill Wild Sense could detect the strength of the opponent. Sub-leader was red which already meant a very strong enemy, however, the last Dark Guild member that appeared was pitch black.

His senses were also tingling and telling him that the person that appeared was someone that he could not defeat even if he teamed up with others to fight him alone.

They were already in a bad state, with the appearance of another Rank-A enemy, even Hiro felt some kind of despair. Others also felt that the situation was going to become more dire.

Although they don't have Wild Sense to know how strong he was, they could at least tell that he is Rank-A and the situation could not be better with the enemy force having one more Rank-A.

-THUD! -THUD!

The Dark Guild member that appeared last was casually walking as if he was not involved in the battle at all.

This pissed off not Hiro or his friends but Dark Guild members. Even though they were winning, they were also suffering somewhat and there is this teammate who is like he is on tour.

"JESTER! Why the F**K are you so slow?

One of the Rank-A said angrily. His fight with Lisanna was paused for a second as he pushed her backwards. However, instead of taking advantage of the situation, he rushed towards the member who was casually walking.

-THAK!

He hit the guy on the head as he scolded. He didn't hold anything back and used his Rank-A strength. Surprisingly, Jester didn't have much reaction.

"Jester, did you get lost or something? Why didn't you come faster? I am fed up with your lack of seriousness."

Just because they were all from the Dark Guild, it didn't mean that they had a good relationship with each other. Rather it was the opposite. If one were to let their guard down, it would not be the enemy who would kill you but your own allies.

The Rank-A tank asserts his authority as he gets physically with people weaker than him. Other Dark Guild members also didn't say anything as it was reasonable since Jester came late and made them suffer.

"Sorry! Sorry! This will not happen again!"

Jester apologized. However, he didn't seem to bother about Rank-A hitting him on the head or anything. He was just smiling as usual.

"Humph! That is what you said last time. I don't think you really respect my words."

However, the Rank-A tank was becoming more aggressive with how submissive Jester was. That was the type of human he was. When others show weakness, he would become bolder and more aggressive.

"Just let him off this time! We have an important mission to complete."

The sub-leader commanded. He knew well that the Rank-A tank would not stop if he didn't interfere. And he normally would not interfere as well but today they were on an important mission that he couldn't afford to mess up.

"Sorry! This will really be the last time you need to say this."

The Jester apologized.

"Humph! Better be careful next time!'

The Rank-A tank said. He had to listen to the sub-leader who was more powerful than him. He is a typical person who is strong against weak and weak against strong.

However, the next thing that happened surprised everyone including both the Dark Guild and Hiro and his friends.

-SLASH!

"You! YOU!"

The Rank-A tank turned its head back. His eyes were bloodshot as he grazed his eyes on Jester with both anger and fear. He didn't expect that he would get backstabbed by this guy.

"This would be the last time because you wouldn't live past today! "
