Conquering The Game's World

{That's good. As for the tranquillizers. He probably has them inside his mana bracelet. Let's check them later.}

Luis tied Karlos up and put him inside his pocket space. As he did that, he also brought out Bonnie and held her in his hands. Then, he leapt towards the half-broken stairs, while muttering.

"Well, the rescue is complete… Now it's time to meet up with Sufi and Cobert… They must have been done by now."

***

On the other side, Sufi and Cobert's battle had also been quite bloody and intense. Though only for Sufi.

Since Cobert paddled most of the time and hid his strength. The fight took longer than it should have been. However, he cooperated with Sufi well and because of that; they took out the enemies without Cobert showing off his actual strength.

Cobert's dagger slashed through at the enemy's neck, the blood splattered, and he ended up collapsing. His body was having a seizure.

"That's the last one, right?" Sufi's indifferent voice sounded.

To which Cobert turned back and nodded. "Should we now go help Luis?"

"Yes, the ground has been trembling for some time and there have been many sounds of explosions." Speaking of which, Sufi's eyes couldn't help but be solemn.

Cobert had sensed that the enemy Luis was facing was very strong, most probably a B rank just like him. However, he didn't tell her about that. Rather, even earlier when she attacked the criminals, he would finish or knock them right after, making it look like the opponents were only E-rank.

Which caused Sufi to misunderstand the true strength of their enemies.

"Let's hurry!"

The two of them rushed towards the direction Luis had left earlier. However, after looking around, Sufi's brows furrowed in confusion.

"How do we reach him?"

Cobert also glanced around for a few seconds. Then he realized something, as he had experienced a similar situation in the past.

'Could it be… Luis hid the way, using illusions?'

Although, he wasn't certain. But thinking of Luis' mysteriousness. He felt that it was very likely. He had seen a lot of illusions. When he did the assassination tasks in the past.

So, now, facing a similar situation. He came directly to such a conclusion.

He released his mist, thinking of trying to break the illusion. However, by then, the sounds coming from the underground floor stopped.

"Huh? Did his fight end?" Sufi also noticed this, as a frown appeared on his face. "Did he win?"

Cobert tried to sense it and noticed the presence of two people: one D-rank and an F-rank. 'Seems like he won.'

Right then, he heard a sound in his mind.

{Owl, use your mist to block Sufi's vision for a few seconds.}

Cobert was surprised for a second but reacted, and he did what Luis requested.

"What are you doing?!"

"Calm down. I think the enemy has set up an illusion here. I'm trying to break it." He said in a calm tone. Since he was helping him, anyway. Cobert helped him to the end.

After hearing this, Sufi calmed down. "I see."

The sound of footsteps alerted them. Then, under Cobert's listless gaze Luis, who appeared in front of him holding an unconscious Bonnie. Luis also lifted the illusion as the stairs appeared in their sight.

'Sure enough, he used an illusion.'

After his speculation was confirmed, Cobert dispersed the mist. So, Sufi was also able to see them.

"So, you won," Sufi said in a neutral tone. She wasn't very surprised as she didn't know the strength of Luis' opponent. Otherwise, her reaction wouldn't have been so bland, and she would surely be dumbfounded.

Unfortunately for her, no one here was going to reveal it to her.

"Is Bonnie alright?" she asked as he looked at Bonnie. Her brows furrowed with concern.

"Yes, she is just unconscious. I think they have used some kind of drug on her." Luis answered and asked. "What about your side? Are you guys done?"

"Yes, all the opponents have been defeated," Cobert said, his deep eyes staring at Luis, signalling him something.

"I see," Luis said, and understood what Cobert was trying to express, so he glanced at Sufi and added. "Miss Sufi, would you mind taking Bonnie to Professor Cyndy right now? I think it is better to get her checked as soon as possible. In case the drug they gave her ends up being harmful."

Of course, he was lying. He had already let Lily scan her and was certain that the drug wouldn't harm her. She would just be unconscious for another 3 to 6 hours if no antidote was given. That's all.

He said such things because he wanted to send Sufi away.

"I see. I'll take her right now." Sufi's expression became serious when she heard her words.

She came up to him and took Bonnie off his hands. While she did that, she also asked. "What about you two?"

Luis spread his empty hands and spoke. "We will clean up here and check if any enemy is alive whom we can take for interrogation."

Sufi didn't doubt them and nodded. She also wanted to help, but Bonnie's safety was more important.

So, she left in a hurry.

---

After her figure disappeared, Cobert turned to Luis, as he couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You defeated a B-rank even though you are a D-rank. How?"

Even if Luis had power beyond his rank. It shouldn't be so exaggerated, right?

Luis looked at him from the corner of his eyes and said in a neutral tone.

"What can I do? Some powerful people hide their strength even at the time of emergency. *Sigh* I can only force myself to work hard."

Cobert knew Luis was talking about him. So, he rolled his eyes and complained.

"Don't pretend in front of me. You wanted to solo their leader. Otherwise, you wouldn't have set up an illusion to stop us from going down."
