Chapter 436 Storm Of Ice And Fire
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
'Hehe.'While everyone's attention was focused on the remaining newcomers who were just about to be attacked, a dark figure slithered out of Illisha's shadow with a green dagger in his hand.
As the only one who didn't reveal himself since the beginning, Kage only had one mission.
'We need to make this a live show.'
To kill or incapacitate the Roleplayer who was concealing everything!
The purpose of today's attack was different than usual, what they needed to achieve wasn't to kill the Council's Roleplayer or reveal things to the normal audience as usually did.
Their true objective was the newcomers. Distracting the Council's Roleplayers would make the job much easier, so it was only right to target the weak link to create more chaos and split their attention!
'Sweet dreams.'
The dagger was only inches away from Illisha's neck, but all she was focused on was spreading her illusion further so that the normal people go farther away from the building to prevent collateral damage.
"Nice try, snake!"
However, just as Illisha's blood was about to be drawn, a short knife viciously stabbed into Kage's arm, causing him to drop his dagger and…
Splashhhhh!
A fountain of blood erupted from his wound!
Despite the obviously painful attack, Kage stayed faithful to his image of a silent assassin, holding back his pain as he slid back into the shadow.
'There you are… Rubin, a Detector of some sort?'
Having been watching the fifth hidden figure from afar, Leo wondered if he should do something to help, but he decided against it in the end once he noticed that the pink-haired girl had also caught the assassin's presence.
Not only had she managed to locate him, but she was able to accurately cut the radial artery in his wrist, which led Leo to make a guess about her Role.
"Sorry, Damon. I can't leave Illisha alone!"
Although Kage had retreated with a severe injury, he still lurked around his target. While Leo hypothesized that Illisha had her own method to defend herself, maintaining the illusion was her limit.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
In a silent area with no repetitive changes, Illisha could make illusions that would last for months, but in this building where the Werewolf and Alex were still pummeling each other out…
She had to recast the illusion every few seconds, splitting her focus wasn't an option.
'Darion and Damon seem to be familiar, but the rest of the team…'
From the limited observation time that he had, Leo concluded that the Syndicate's team was just recently put together.
After all, the assassin didn't take precautions against someone like Rubin nor did Alex recognize that the Werewolf would be his match.
"What do you say you forget about the surroundings and we have a little spar for ourselves?"
To make matters worse, Darion took out a small stick that spread into a long staff once he pressed it. He was going to keep Damon busy no matter what!
'Do I really have to focus on my side and hope they are strong enough to fend for themselves?'
Pulling himself together as the leader, Damon didn't pay any attention to his archnemesis's provocation. Although Darion directly countered his Telekinetic ability, Damon wasn't worried for himself.
As long as he restricted it to coating his body, Damon could use it as a form of amplified Martial Art to crush his opponent.
'The problem is the precious time that it would take to sort him out.'
Darion definitely wasn't stronger than him in close combat. However, the long staff that he used was annoying to deal with. Besides, with how fast this was going…
One of the Syndicate's unoccupied Roleplayers had already reached their target!
"What a fancy dress you have there…"
The one that stood in front of Yulia was the only woman in the Syndicate's team, but she seemed far more crazy than the rest of them.
"I would like to see how beautifully it would burn!"
With only a few opening words, she snapped her fingers to light up a circle of rising fire around Yulia!
"Rose, remember not to overdo it!"
Even Darion himself stopped to remind her not to forget their objective. To begin with, he was against taking someone like her on such a delicate mission, but their numbers had been stretched thin as of late.
'A typical fire user… A pyrokinetic maybe?'
Since Leo had moved further away to take out his sword when the enemy had crashed landed and kept falling back after, his opponent still hadn't reached him yet.
As such, he took the opportunity to analyze the battlefield as much as possible so he could formulate a proper plan!
Yulia looked like she was going to be defensively consumed by the raging flames. However…
Slick…
As if someone had turned off the light, the fire instantly vanished as a thick sheet of ice spread on the ground around her.
In addition, her skin turned ghostly white as if covered by a layer of transparent snow!
'As expected.'
Just like a perfect protagonist candidate, Yulia possessed just the right ability to crush her first opponent!
'That woman is either crazy or has something else on her mind…'
Even before she had shown her ability, Yulia already looked like someone who had a role related to Ice, yet the Pyrokinetic crazy woman had specifically chosen her.
Considering the way things had worked out so far, she likely didn't pick Yulia to get rid of her quickly, but whatever her reason was, it all ended up pouring into Yulia's interest.
'She wouldn't lose out against the others either, but it sure is convenient.'
Just from the first display of her ability, Leo could tell that Yulia was no pushover. It was just that things fell perfectly to her advantage.
'Her Ice ability even forms a bond between us.'
As someone who had one of the things he needed, Leo could already imagine himself as a supporting character who would approach Yulia for mutual collaboration if this was a normal novel…
"Oh, you use a sword?"
Seeing that his opponent caught up to him, Leo dispelled all of the unnecessary thoughts that were running through his mind as he firmly held the White Tiger.
"What a coincidence, I also have one!"
