Chapter 183: Infiltrators
Chapter 183: Infiltrators
"I suggest you leave this place to me. Go back to the castle and help the others." Ed offered them his advice as he opened up his Map. He was about to leave but turned back to them.
"You two get to stay here." Ed pointed at two of the new teachers. He made a mistake earlier in his judgment. All six of them were red dots as they were being controlled, but now two of them remained red compared to the other four. Those two figured out that their cover is up so they smiled and walked out of the cell.
"How did you find out?" The female one smiled while looking at Ed. Her dirty clothes and skin were cleaned up in an instant restoring their beauty. She had black hair, and her face had a small black mole under her lips. The other one was a man who cleaned his clothes off as well.
"Magic, I won't explain anymore." Ed sighed as he studied his opponents. Immortal Establishment level 3. Both of them had the same cultivation, and they seemed to be the allies of Edgar. This meant that both of them could fight at a higher level.
"I'm guessing you disguised yourselves in order to find out about anyone trying to save them." Ed pointed at Harry, the general, A class's teacher, and the last teacher. "You also infiltrated this place early, so they couldn't recognize as enemies?" Ed hit the nail on the head with his deduction.
"Scale kingdom needs to upgrade its security general. You already had your ranks infiltrated two years ago by that man, and now these two." Ed knew that the general couldn't be blamed, as not everyone had a Map like him. But, they should have been more careful after all.
"I'm curious about one thing, however. You didn't help Edgar when he fought the king. Were you guys so confident that he could win, or do you have even more members in hiding just in case?" Ed smiled as he spoke to them calmly. Both of them didn't answer his question but kept looking at him.
"More than ten members have a cultivation of Immortal Establishment. Edgar is the strongest. There are also a couple of them that have Heavenly Establishment cultivation." Merry answered in their place. It was a mistake to think about their ranks, even though they didn't talk about it. Both of them frowned as they felt a sense of insecurity rose from the pits of their hearts.
"I see. Goburou, you told me you killed two opponents, how strong were they?" Ed remembered that Goburou told him about the two people in the classroom. He controlled them both with Bloody Drive to get the location of the cell from them, and then they were killed.
"I'm not sure. They were too weak so I didn't bother to look into it." Goburou answered Ed, who thought that they might have been Heavenly Establishment cultivators.
"I really want to know how you could do this" the female smiled once more. Although this time, it was more of a nervous smile. The man was wearing a coat that hid his mouth, but his eyes showed his nervousness.
"Sieg, Merry. Both of you should locate any Immortal Establishment and kill them. Goburou, Garu. You two, take care of these two." Ed's eyes turned cold as he spoke. All four members that receive their orders acted immediately. An explosion took place as they clashed near the cell, while Ed protected the prisoners. Suika and Agumon waited for their share of orders patiently.
"You guys won't help us here, so go back to the castle. Agumon, go with them until the teleportation circle and then come back. Suika, we'll also be hunting Immortal Establishment cultivators. If any of them are hiding, they'll be drawn by Garu and Goburou's fights." Ed finished passing around the orders and stood by. He looked as Garu and Goburou engaged their opponents.
The two enemies were strong. Ed could see how much Blood sect invested in order to topple Scale Kingdom. However, he didn't have even the slightest hint of worry. He had been killing Blood sect members mercilessly for the past week or so, and managed to level up. He was now Heavenly Establishment level 9. This meant that his monsters were all Immortal Establishment level 2.
"You guys may be strong, but we can fight a level higher than our cultivation. You don't stand chance." The woman spoke as she withdrew a thorny whip. She was fighting Goburou, and Garu was fighting the other man. They seemed to be having the upper hand until Goburou and Garu smiled at the same time.
"That's all?" Both of them spoke at the same time as their aura exploded out of their body. Both Nen and QI merged together as they started their assault. Goburou easily dodged the random attacks of the whip being used by the woman. Its attacks were fast and unpredictable, but Goburou managed them just fine. He was the speed expert, so he couldn't be touched by something of this level.
A black energy covered his rapier and seemed to be charging in power. The woman noticed this and felt dread. She increased the tempo of her attacks while using some magic simultaneously. Goburou didn't find any issues in dodging her. Once his attack was ready, he released it towards her. A crescent slash with a deep dark red color ate away and anything in its way. The woman released her QI in an attempt to stop the slash but failed. She only deformed it for a little, before it consumed both her and her QI.
Acquired 12.000.000 Exp.
'Hmm. I might be able to level up if kill them all.' Ed thought to himself while looking at his notification. He needed 50.000.000 Exp points in order to level up once. By killing all ten Immortal Establishment, he was hoping to hit Heavenly Establishment level 10.
The man Garu was fighting went berserk after finding out that his comrade was killed. He was using a war axe, and each one of his swings cut the air around, creating a vacuum. Garu didn't feel any threat from him, so he continued to fight as if nothing happened. He gripped his weapon and filled it with QI. It started getting heavier and heavier as he enhanced himself with QI and Nen. The man seemed to be charging up his attack as well.
Garu swung his Glaive at the same as the man. Their weapons collided in the air, sending a wave of energy in a spherical form from around them. One would think that they were evenly matched, but that was not the case. Garu was slowly overpowering the man. He did it on purpose as he wanted to fill him with fear before killing him. In the end, Garu completed his swing, cutting both the man and anything behind him. His slash left its trace on the building behind the man, the ground, and even the air.
Acquired 12.000.000 Exp.
Acquired Gacha ticket.
Ed stood up without reading the notification.
"Suika, our playmates are here." Both of them looked to the sky as two figure came closing in on them.
