boom!

A tremendous roar exploded in the small room, and the billowing dust drifted past. Jill's movements were somewhat stiff, and her lips twitched as she stared speechlessly at the large hole blasted into the room and the three people who had driven away...

"This isn't what we agreed on, is it?!"

Jill's roar failed to make the three girls, who had already run far away, turn around and look at her even once. Knowing that Gozchi's side was the main force of this sneak attack, Cornelia had no intention of helping, because she knew that it would only make things worse.

This sneak attack has cost them all the initiative. At this point, fighting to the death is pointless and will only increase casualties. Not only them, but even Gozchi and his group would choose to retreat rather than continue fighting.

After realizing the situation, Cornelia pretended to be ready to fight with her numerical advantage, but in reality, she secretly gathered her strength and smashed through the wall. The three of them escaped from the merchant guild without saying a word. Bonnie, who had the best stamina, carried Tsukushi on her back. With two huge burdens on her chest, Tsukushi was hung around her neck, and she ran forward at the same speed as Cornelia.

"Looks like they didn't catch up!"

Chikushi said with some relief.

"Let's head to the meeting point first. Those two guys give me a dangerous feeling. Even if there are three of us, we might not be a match for them!"

Cornelia added that she always trusted her intuition.

"Wow ah ah ah ah!"

A powerful shout suddenly rang out from behind. The three women turned around and saw that the violent woman Jill had Dora riding on her neck, and her speed was no less than that of Bonnie and Cornelia!

"Stop right there! You bunch of brats!"

Jill kept shouting, feeling angry that she had been tricked like a fool!

"They actually managed to pinpoint our footsteps?"

Bonnie was somewhat incredulous. She possessed the Tsubasa no Kushina, a special item that boosted speed. Although she was carrying Tsukushi, it didn't significantly affect her speed. The fact that she was able to catch up with her already proved that Cornelia's judgment was correct.

"Once the limiter is removed, isn't this a minor issue?"

Jill was quite confident, but she had no idea what this limiter she was talking about was all about.

"Prometheus!"

Of the three, Cornelia and Bonnie are close-combat types, but Tsukushi is able to use the gun-type weapon 'Prometheus' for long-range shooting. In this state, Gil and Dora have become her targets.

"The Iceberg Ring!"

Bullets flew toward the two of them. At that moment, Dora also threw out the ring she was controlling. Like Tsukushi, she was also a long-range combat type.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Under Dora's control, the four rings blocked the three bullets fired by Tsukushi, but she did not expect that Prometheus was a weapon that could change the trajectory of the bullets!

It was just a tiny arc, but it prevented Dora's defense from being completely effective, and a bullet struck Jill's thigh precisely.

"Ouch!!!"

Jill shouted with a mournful face, but her steps did not slow down in the slightest!

"Is just saying 'it hurts' enough? Are you a pervert?!"

Bonnie was initially relieved to see Jill get shot, but then she discovered that Jill seemed completely unaffected except for letting out a cry of pain. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but Jill seemed to be even faster after being shot.

This is practically turning grief and anger into strength!

The two sides chased and fled, quickly getting away from the Chamber of Commerce. At this moment, the main battlefield of this battle was inside the Chamber of Commerce!

"These insects are so weird!"

The sounds from upstairs reached Gozchi's ears. He could guess that the three of them had probably escaped by now, so there was no need to worry about the children's safety. However, the large number of insects in the merchant guild was the most troublesome thing.

"Someone is probably controlling things. You guys be careful."

While remaining vigilant, Gozchi issued a warning. The enemy controlling these insects was still hiding in the shadows, and since they dared to attack, they must have come prepared. One wrong move and things could get really troublesome.

"Ok!"

The group responded in unison, but just then, insects suddenly gnawed through the floor and crawled out from under their feet.

"On the ground? Not only on the ground, but also on the ceiling!"

Nahash had already taken the Water Dragon Sword in his hand, but he hadn't entered battle mode yet. His weapon was incredibly powerful, but the cost was extremely high. Not only did it only last for three minutes, but it would also cause him to become extremely mentally exhausted after use, resulting in a significant loss of combat power. Therefore, the timing of using his weapon was very important.

As the No.1 of the selection group, Nahash is not only the strongest in combat, but also has top-notch overall abilities.

"careful!"

As if receiving some kind of command, the insects that had just pierced through the ceiling and the floor suddenly formed a wall between the four of them, separating Nahashu, Green, and Guy. A burly old man broke through the wall and entered.

Meanwhile, Mela appeared in front of Gozchi, who was alone, and under Mela's personal control, the battle was divided!

Was I the target all along?

The girl in front of him was incredibly young, but Gozchi didn't underestimate her at all. After all, he had personally witnessed the strength of the one known as the strongest in the empire. Judging from their appearances, Esdeath and Mela were very close in age.

Moreover, he felt the same way about Mela as he did when he faced Esdeath!

"You think you can take on my three children with just one person? Aren't you being a little too confident?"

Even when facing a formidable foe, Gozchi showed no fear whatsoever. He gripped the knife in his hand, knowing that as long as Mela was alive, he could use the demonic blade to slay her!

"The old virgin is quite strong, and besides, as long as I take care of you quickly, there won't be any problems, right?"

With a slender finger extended, a beetle landed on it. Mela's demeanor was elegant, and her appearance was even more beautiful. If the beetle were replaced with a beautiful butterfly, it would probably enhance the effect even more. The insects controlled by Mela were not just beetles, but also many beautiful insects. However, all the insects had one characteristic: the more beautiful they were, the more deadly they were!

"Is that so? I won't let you lay a hand on my children. This is where you'll die."

Regardless of what ideas Gozichi instilled in the selection team, at least one thing was certain: he genuinely treated everyone like his own children!

The Imperial Arm 'One-Slash Kill: Murasame' was suddenly drawn, instantly attracting Mera's attention.

"Oh? You're not being polite at all."

With a wave of her hand, she sent the beetle flying away, and a large swarm of insects surrounded Mela.

"Since you're a man, I won't go through all the trouble of capturing you; I'll just kill you."

There is no doubt that Mela is incredibly strong, but Gozchi is no pushover either, so their battle is bound to be extremely intense!

"Such a beautiful and alluring sword, it must be an Imperial Arms, right? I guess I'd better avoid getting cut by it!"

Mela has exceptional eyesight. Although she doesn't know much about Teigu, she saw through Murasame's true nature at a glance. This sword has the ability to kill with a single blow. It was with this power that Gozuchi killed Barbara back then; otherwise, the outcome of that battle would have been hard to say.

"Those who manipulate ants are no different from ants themselves. I will annihilate you all!"

Gozchi showed no awareness of facing a formidable foe; instead, he acted as if he were facing an ant.

Morale is a crucial factor in battle, so through years of assassination missions, Gozchi has become accustomed to self-hypnosis. No matter how powerful the enemy, he will not lose his fighting spirit and will even launch an attack with the utmost confidence!

"It is said that 70% of all animals are insects. Please show them respect. If you insist on looking down on them, you will suffer the consequences!"

Mela wasn't annoyed at all; in fact, she introduced it in a very serious manner.

"You who rely on insects are even worse than insects!"

Influencing the opponent's mentality during battle is also an extremely important aspect. If you can provoke the opponent to the point of losing their mind, the possibility of them making a mistake will be greater. Coupled with the demon sword that can kill in one hit, even a momentary opening is enough for Gozuchi to decide the outcome!

"So if you lose to me, wouldn't you be even less than an ant?"

However, Mela was clearly not the type to be swayed so easily. The chat time finally came to an end, and the swarm, under Mela's control, began its attack.

"Hey!"

Facing the swarming, dark mass of insects, Gozchi smiled and unleashed a frenzied barrage of attacks with his demonic sword. This was his fighting style: extreme speed and precise swordsmanship!

"Oh ha!"

With a flash of light, he easily killed a large number of beetles, their corpses falling to the ground.

"See? Ants are useless against me!"

Gozchi was brimming with confidence. He had hypnotized himself into believing that he possessed strength surpassing that of Mela. Only by maintaining this morale could he possibly find a weakness. If his confidence faltered, things would be dire.

"That wasn't an automatic attack; I personally controlled it. Not bad. Over the years, besides you, only one other person has been able to dodge it."

The other person Mela mentioned was naturally Lin Yu, but after the battle started, Lin Yu disappeared somewhere and is not present now.

"Should I feel honored?"

Gozi smiled arrogantly and charged towards Mela, but the ten-meter distance between them was enough for her to make many preparations.

"Stirring creature!"

With a special command issued, a large number of beetles began to swarm towards Gozchi from all corners. In this battle, he seemed to have the upper hand, but in reality, it was just an illusion. The one who truly had the upper hand was Mela!

[I've said before that this book will only be written faster, not abandoned or left unfinished. And it's just that a few people left the group. I'm definitely in a bad mood, but don't jump to conclusions! It's not like a few people leaving the group means I can't continue writing. I haven't said anything because I'm preparing for a professional exam at work, and failing it would significantly impact my salary. That's all. So don't make wild guesses. Those spreading rumors in the group will be blacklisted!]

281. Just a game!

"Stirring creature!"

Swarms of beetles began to emerge from all directions, their sheer number enough to send chills down one's spine.

Is this all the tricks you know?

Faced with the terrifying numbers, Gozchi's arm suddenly extended. As one of the former Four Demons of the Fist King Temple, Gozchi naturally possessed the ability to manipulate his body at will, and his strength was much greater than that of the current Four Demons of the Fist King Temple!

"Kill them all!"

His arms, which were originally no different from those of an ordinary person, stretched to a full five meters, and his muscles and bones were exceptionally strong, so no matter how the beetles attacked him, they could not cause him any harm.

In the swarm of insects, Gozchi seemed to be able to use every part of his body as a weapon. He easily crushed a large number of beetles. Immersed in the battle and with his vision blocked by the dense beetles, Gozchi did not notice that Mela had come up behind him at some point.

"What if I were to attack personally?"

Mela's voice rang in his ears. Without thinking, Gozchi turned his head and his tongue shot out like a sharp sword. Fortunately, Mela reacted in time and dodged the attack, otherwise the battle might have ended just like that.

"Is it really okay for us to be this close?"

Gozić kicked out, and according to the original trajectory, it would have been absolutely impossible to hurt Mela. However, Gozić's foot pierced through the shoe and inexplicably stabbed towards Mela's head.

Clang!

The parasol in her hand blocked a potentially fatal attack, but the parasol itself was pierced through. Gozchi's attacks were almost always unexpected. In close combat, it was impossible to imagine where or how Gozchi's attacks would come from. If Mela hadn't been careful enough, even with her strength, she would probably have been defeated!

The series of attacks that challenged imagination and common sense showed no signs of ending. In terms of actual strength, Gozchi was the one at a disadvantage. It was rare for him to have a chance to fight at close range. Once he created distance, he would have to face the endless swarm of insects!

Moreover, Gozi had a vague feeling that Mela's trump card was still hidden in the shadows, and that sense of crisis was urging him desperately to decide the outcome as soon as possible!

Mela looked toward Gozichi, whose long hair, which was hanging down his back, was now standing on end, making him glare at Mela like an angry lion!
