Chapter 271 - Confrontation Against The Mysterious Figures!
-----
As Gustav teleported away with Arthurus, Xijun was left shocked. She didn\'t knew what to think. She looked at the entire place and found the entire tower barely standing.
The other disciples were all running away from the tower, rushing downstairs, but she was too worried about Gustav to do anything else. She looked at the window with concern.
"Is this all my fault?" she sighed.
Cuco, Wisp, and Arachne stood with her protecting her, waiting for Gustav to come back at any moment.
Xijun was licked by Cuco\'s tongue, as she sighed and smiled faintly, petting the big cat.
"Am I a burden?" she wondered.
"Mrao!" Cuco meowed cutely, as he rubbed his face over Xijun\'s belly and purred.
"Cuco…"
BOOOMMM!!!
However, a second after that, the entire walls right at the left side of Xijun opened wide as a group of five people emerged out of absolutely nowhere, floating in the sky!
"Now that your guardian is out, it is the perfect opportunity to take you, Key."
"W-Who are you!?" asked Xijun.
"You don\'t need to know."
"We are here simply to bring you with us."
"Cooperate and we won\'t harm you nor your friends there."
Their bodies were coated in black coats from head to toes, and they emanated enormous and powerful presences, overcharged with the power of a completely different dimension…
Xijun wasn\'t as good at discerning power levels as Gustav was, but she knew they were very strong, strong enough to pack a good punch.
But not as strong as her.
She gripped her fist and gritted her teeth, looking defiantly at the five men while her eyebrows furrowed.
"Water Breathing Technique."
FLASH!
Utilizing the simple technique learned here, Xijun multiplied its effects using her amazing talent and water affinity powers, her entire body began to flow with enormous quantities of Water-Attribute Divine Energy, her breath became calm and steady, like the ocean…
"Such a low-level technique won\'t do a single thing against our power, little girl!" laughed one of them men, as all five of them rushed towards her together, summoning giant weapons made of shadows and unleashing countless slicing attacks towards her!
The slicing attacks generated powerful shockwaves of slicing aura of darkness and shadows, vibrating around, and making the tower move around even more!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Xijun generated a barrier of water as she gritted her teeth while resisting the attacks.
"I cannot retaliate well if I am here, we have to get out of here to not cause any more destruction…" she thought.
"If you want me so badly come for me!" she said, as she flew into the skies like a river of water, three of them men followed her right way while the other two stood here.
"Let\'s capture these monsters, they must be her friends or something."
"We can blackmail her with them!"
The two imbeciles decided to confront Cuco and the other two monsters, as their attacks quickly reached them.
"GROAR!"
Cuco was tired of their bullshit, however, as he unleashed his true divine aura and flew through the skies towards one of the men, jumping over him and intercepting his blows with his claws and tail, while biting through his body! His barriers were of no use against his deadly claws and jaws!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"GROAR!"
Cuco\'s might seemed to know no bounds as he unleashed a constant barrage of attacks against the man, his shadow weapon was being cracked into pieces until it completely shattered! Cuco used this opportunity to bite him into the neck, crushing his bones and making the man cry in agony.
Cuco\'s jaws were strong, a single bite and then a bit of force and then…!
CRASH!
He beheaded the man mercilessly! He died on the spot, as his body flew down into the ground, and well, his soul was also being snacked by Wisp, the ghastly entity made of many souls, as it absorbed the soul of the man, without even giving him a second chance!
The last of the two was desperately fighting against Arachne, the daughter of the Scarlet Spider was fierce, she used her powerful and hard, metallic exoskeleton to defend herself, while using her metallic legs and the metallic exoskeleton armor over her upper body to attack, growing blades out of her hands, she sliced through the mans\' attacks, breaking through his weapon as well, shattering it into pieces as his shadows were of no use against the almighty creature!
Gustav had made sure to leave them well buffed after all, their total power was at least over ten times their original power, and easily overwhelmed these run-of-the-mill villains!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Aghhh! Y-You\'re just a damn monster! How come you\'re so strong?!"
Arachne didn\'t knew how to speak so she stayed mute, but a cocky smirk emerged in her flawless and beautiful face.
"Heh!"
CLASH!
The powerful blow clashed against him in an instant, throwing him off balance and into the side, as Cuco and Wisp emerged behind the wound-covered man, and ravaged his body into pieces mercilessly! All of his body was being torn apart, as his agonizing screams resonated around the entire city!
"Aaaagghhhh…!"
"Gyhahaha…!"
Wisp laughed devilishly as he devoured his soul, gaining a bit of power and information from the man\'s mind.
Gustav emerged right after they finished devouring both corpses, as he realized that Xijun wasn\'t here.
"Where\'s Xijun?!" he asked.
"Mrao!" Cuco didn\'t knew how to speak, but he quickly spoke to Gustav through telepathy, telling him that Xijun ran far away to fight the three men.
"Damn it…! Ervas, Vudia, Come!" said Gustav, as Ervas and Vudia emerged at his side in an instant.
"We are ready." Said Ervas.
"Tell us what to do!" said Vudia.
"Stay at my side, we are going to teleport… I don\'t know where she is exactly, but I know I can teleport whenever she is as long as I spend a lot of Mana and use Supreme Summoning…!" said Gustav, as he quickly used just that!
FLASH!
He quickly teleported where Xijun was, as he found her battling desperately!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
