Unlimited Power 03: The Sinful Ruler

"Urgh… that guy," Lana said, visibly disgusted. "Somehow, his arrival doesn't surprise me... I had a feeling we would see him eventually."

"Friend of yours?" Arilene asked.

"Don't even joke about it," Lana said. "He is someone very annoying that we have a small history with… the creepiest of the guys I have ever met."

Lana wasn't worried about Louise. She knew she wasn't the same person they met Justin the last time. Still, she couldn't help but take a look at her to see the expression that she was making. As expected, it was as severe as they come… Louise didn't forget her bad memories, but she didn't let them faze her anymore, considering the things she had to endure in the last few months.

"It seems that your group has changed quite a bit since the last time I saw you. You have more kids on your side," Justin said. "You really can't help it, can you? In any case, I don't have any interest in any of you. I am here for that asshole. Where is he?"

"Behind your back, a bit lower," Lana said and then facepalmed. "I think that is what Jake would say in that situation… I hate myself for knowing him so well."

"Did he abandon you? I didn't think that would be the case… Rhobat, you said that he would be here," Justin said.

"He will don't worry," Rhobat said. "Our actions are going to force the system to do something, and he will be a part of that something. He is one of our worst enemies, after all. Regardless, we have to finish things here as quickly as possible before anything troublesome happens."

"I don't believe that I am going to praise Jake indirectly, but you should give up mate," Lana said. "You are terribly outmatched against him. Unless the the dark guild masters join the fight, then you can't win."

"... I guess you are right," Justin said. "We need to get rid of them as soon as possible and move on with the plan."

Justin had two swords on his waist, and when he moved his arms to grab them, Louise fired two lightning bolts in front of his feet and forced him to stop.

"What is this plan of yours?" Louise asked. "Why did you betray the human race?"

"... To save our entire species," Rhobat replied with a serious expression after a few moments of silence.

"Give up, Louise," Lana said. "They are lunatics that think that they are doing something good when they are only inciting wars and causing genocides. Let's face them. We can't lose to damn cowards."

"Since it is like that, then I won't hesitate to dirt my hands with blood if it is to protect other humans," Louise declared and then fired two lightning bolts at the heads of those two.

Much to everyone's surprise, Justin and Rhobat suddenly appeared a few meters away from their original position… Louise missed even though that was her fastest and most powerful spell.

"You hurt my feelings like that, Louise," Justin said. "Even if it was something from the past, we had a great connection, and now you tried to kill me in cold blood. What a bad example you are setting for the kids around you."

"The more he talks, the more annoying his voice gets… anyway, keep your guard up against their speed," Lana said and then used Hermes' Blessing on her whole party.

At the same time, the group began to hear the sound of explosions in the other parts of the armies. Those two and their many allies charged to start their fight…

While they were talking, Lana had enough time to heal everyone secretly, and they also had some time to rest, and while their conditions weren't perfect, they were pretty close to that state.

Even with their insane speed, Julian and Karina moved and got on their way. Rhobat swung two knives at Karina's head, but she also blocked using two knives. She was being pushed backward since she was weaker, though.

As for Julian, he repelled the double sword strikes that Justin launched at his neck, but he wasn't pushed back that much. He was fast, but he also had high endurance…

"Frederick mentioned the possibility of the dark guilds bringing normal people to join their ranks, but I didn't think that they could be this strong…" Julian wondered. "Is that really the power of someone without an innate skill?"

Several individuals passed through them to make things more complicated and then targeted the back lines. They were quite fast as well, so if they reached the back line members that didn't have melee weapons… However, before they could reach them, Arilene summoned two ghost warriors armed with clubs and swung their weapons at the enemies' faces…

Those guys were sent flying back to the enemy lines, but they didn't die… somehow, they reacted in time to block the attacks with their own weapons, and after spinning in the air for a short while, they landed on their feet and prepared to charge again.

"You are not half bad, but I can't play with you," Justin said.

In the next moment, he suddenly charged and tried to stab Julian's head with his two swords, but the boy parried them to the side. Still, the time of the Blades passed nearby his cheek and cut it a bit…

"Julian isn't weak, so for Justin to be able to outspeed him…" Louise thought while analyzing the situation. "Mainly warriors were sent to this part, so taking them down with an area of effect attack was going to be difficult since I can't take their magic the usual way…"

Louise was determined to solve the problem. Still, her lack of experience dealing with other humans was also a problem… Most tactics weren't going to work against them, so they had to be deadly and precise with their new strategies. With that in mind, Louise had a certain idea…
