Chapter 40 The Silent Chapter: "Desperate Support"
Hearing Fildo shout from beneath his feet, "Hey? Heretic magician, don't open your mouth! You lowly creatures, you're not even as good as us mixed-blood magicians, shut up, you piece of trash!" the man angrily cursed.
The way he looked at Fierdo beneath his feet was as arrogant as if she were an insect. Then, with a powerful flick of his hand, his powerful Freedom Domain was compressed into a sphere and slammed into the girl like a cannonball.
"Aaaaaah!" Fildo cried out in pain as she was struck hard, blood spilling from her mouth.
At this moment, Monica, who was in front of the man, was about to rush forward to stop him, but Ming stopped her with his hand.
"Huh? What are you doing? That's your teammate. Why are you stopping me instead of going to save her?" Monica, who had been stopped, turned to Ming in confusion and asked.
Ming calmly looked ahead and said softly, "Don't go over there, it's dangerous. From the most rational point of view, he has extremely strong combat capabilities, which are far beyond what you, someone I can't even defeat, can compare to. Moreover, he just said that the reinforcements have been blocked by his men."
"What!" Monica's expression turned horrified, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. "If you're saying this, then this man is...?"
A series of very rhythmic claps came from the front, interrupting Monica's words.
After the applause subsided, the man slowly adjusted his expression, revealing an appreciative look.
"Judging by your composure and calmness, you must be the one who dealt with those two useless clones I created. Ah~ quite impressive, much better than the two beside me and the two at my feet." The man spoke with exaggerated gestures, his expression slightly manic, before bowing slightly and saying:
"Nice to meet you, esteemed magician. My name is Salesto Morgan, and I am the head of Htn, the sacred organization that has conquered all of humanity with magicians possessing powerful magic."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and looked directly at Ming. "So? Are you interested in joining? I really admire someone as smart as you."
Ming stared coldly at Salestos, his pupils gradually dilating, revealing a hint of disdain.
"To let all of humanity be conquered by magicians with powerful magic? Your so-called sacred organization Htn is nothing but a bunch of self-righteous madmen. I'm sorry, I have no faith in it, or rather, I despise it. Self-proclaimed sacredness? It's just an excuse you make to sacrifice others to gain more power."
Salestio's face instantly darkened, and he glared fiercely at Ming.
"Ah! What did you say!" Salesto roared at Ming, his eyes wide with rage. "How dare you question me! How dare you? How dare you? How dare you!"
He raised his hand and took out a pendant containing a chip.
"Sigh, although this most powerful display device is not yet fully completed because there are not enough children, it is still enough to test it on you."
Seeing this, Monica, who was next to Ming, also took out a chip and was about to stick it on her temple when she was stopped by having her hand grabbed.
"No? What are you going to do now!" Monica looked surprised, while Ming didn't say anything, but walked past her.
Looking at the child who was floating in the air, fast asleep, enveloped by the random domain, Ming shook his head helplessly.
Then, he calmly looked at Salestio, a resolute glint in his eyes, and quickly took off his blindfold, throwing out the fingernails he had prepared to peel off his own fingers on the way upstairs.
The moment the fingernail touched Salestio, a red crack appeared, followed by an explosion.
“Display device activated, evil dragon… uh?” Salesto’s face was full of question marks.
'Boom!'
Taking advantage of the situation, Ming also used a spell to raise his reflexes to their peak, gathering his spiritual power on the steel wire he took out of his pocket, and materializing his mental energy and magic power, making the steel wire condense into the shape of a giant hand. He then flung it out and grabbed the still unconscious Fildo in front of him.
He then hoisted her up and rushed back to where Monica was, who was still looking completely bewildered, as quickly as possible. He took her hand and they ran downstairs.
Monica snapped out of her daze and ran downstairs with Ming. She was filled with questions, but the situation was critical, and she had no choice but to escape with Ming.
Finally, they reached safety. Monica, panting, looked at Ming and said, "What...what did you throw out just now? And why did you save me?"
Ming, having regained some strength, looked at Monica and replied expressionlessly, "No, you were just incidental. As for the things I threw away earlier, they were just some small props, don't worry about them..."
Then, Ming continued running, pulling Monica along and carrying the unconscious Fildo on his shoulder. As he ran, Ming thought to himself:
'Trouble! Mobius told me he used to be her colleague. There's absolutely no way we can win without fully revealing our elf identities. We have to run!'
Not long ago, the SSS force was blocked in the air by a large number of cloned girls, while the DEM force was on the other side.
"Damn it, these little bastards are really troublesome!" Instructor Lind led his SSS team in the air, cursing as they cleared out the clone assassins.
“Indeed, if this continues, then that traitor Salestos’s plan will succeed.” Skadi, who was also cleaning up the clone assassins, thought the same thing in the sky.
Just then, two high-speed beams of light rushed toward them. One of them, a green streak of light that struck like lightning, was like a nimble giant snake, rushing into the battlefield with lightning speed.
It seemed to carry a mysterious and powerful force, violently stirring the air wherever it passed, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
The green streak of light drew a dazzling arc through the air, as swift as a shooting star. In the blink of an eye, the clones that had been rampaging through the air were struck by the green streak of light, like leaves swept by a gust of wind.
Before the clones could react, they were instantly reduced to pieces and fell to the ground somewhere in London.
"You are! Investigator Möbius!" Skadi, the leader of DEM, exclaimed with delight upon seeing the newcomer.
Upon hearing Skadi call out his name, Mobius ignored her and instead looked thoughtfully toward the SSS battlefield, toward the golden streak of light flying at high speed.
"Oh my~ It's been a long time since we've seen her make a move since she went to the UK to train newcomers a year ago... Former SSS ace, the world's seventh magician, little sister Jolena Pierre."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield where SSS and the clone girls were engaged in a fierce battle to the death, it seemed to be controlled by a mysterious and powerful force. Suddenly, a dazzling golden light fell rapidly like a meteor. The golden light seemed to contain endless majesty and overwhelming power, as if it were a divine punishment sent down from heaven.
This golden light was accompanied by terrifying thunder as heavy as ten thousand pounds, and the sound of the thunder was like a thousand troops galloping by, its immense power chilling to the bone.
In the blink of an eye, the clone army that had previously troubled the team members was reduced to charred remains by the lightning carried by the golden light and fell from the sky.
The sky was ablaze with devastation, as if struck by lightning, with ruins and rubble everywhere. Instructor Linde froze in mid-air upon seeing this horrific scene; the familiar sight was all too familiar to her.
It was as if time had reversed, taking her back to that era of blood and fire, and to her old friend.
"Wow! You little fish~ Linde, long time no see~" A slightly young and immature voice, like a female ghost ship, quietly called out behind Linde, causing the usually stern instructor's expression to twitch slightly.
Then he turned his head and smiled at the girl in front of him, who was surrounded by floating cannons and held a giant hammer. He seemed to have something to say.
"Huh? Lind, you little punk~ What's going on with you? I was peacefully at the British military training base, giving those annoying recruits a good beating with a giant hammer, living a leisurely life." At this point, Jolena's brows furrowed deeply, her face showing some impatience.
"Suddenly, those useless high-ranking officials, who are not even as good as cannon fodder, were transferred here overnight, saying that there was a cute little thing that was asking for trouble. What are they talking about? With the strength of these cannon fodder? Our cute little cannon fodder Lind could handle it, okay." Elena said, spitting on the ground in the air casually.
Note: Don't let Elena's small stature (1.49m) and blonde twin-tailed appearance fool you; she's actually 32 years old, a few years older than Instructor Lind. She was once a leader in the military and maintains her appearance solely through magic and a manifestation device.
"Uh... Elena, please don't..."
"Instructor! Let's go provide support now, this is no time for catching up!" Horim flew over immediately after the battle to remind him.
"Pah, this is such a downer. Go help your comrades, Lind," Elena said, waving her hand. Then she turned to look in Möbius's direction.
"Damn it, this mere ninth-ranked nobody in the world dares to try and take pictures of me! Lind, you nobody, I have other things to do right now. After I beat up that damn guy who took my picture, I'll head over right away and give those bastards who forced me to be transferred back to London a good beating!"
"Oh?! Okay..." Seeing this situation, Lin De said no more and immediately went towards the orphanage ahead to support Ming.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Ming led Monica and Phildot into a narrow alley, where they were about to reach a dead end. Ming stopped, surveying his surroundings and trying to find another way out.
In an instant, Salestio rose above everyone else, now wearing a black and red mechanical armor with interwoven energy circuits, a mask with multiple goggles covering his face, and six pairs of wings on his back like Pendragon.
"Looks like you guys aren't very good at running." Salestio said arrogantly, facing the crowd, his gaze behind his mask fixed on Ming. "Oh, you were really impressive just now, able to make such a thorough response in such a short time. Not bad. But it's okay, I'll make you the first step in creating an ideal world."
Just when the situation became extremely critical, many more armored girls appeared in the sky, but this time they were high-ranking mages Lind and Skadi, leading their respective SSS and DEM units.
"That's enough, Salestio! Your men have all been wiped out. Giving up the fight will save you some pain!" Instructor Lind shouted, followed by the two girls, Lifara and Heralim.
As soon as she arrived, she saw Ming below, carrying Fildo on one arm and holding Monica's hand on the other, and her expression was somewhat shocked.
'Little brother Klein...you!' They thought to themselves, but didn't show it on their faces. Then, they looked down at Salestaurant with serious expressions.
Salestio saw a group of several hundred people in the sky, his expression momentarily stunned, then turning to disgust.
"Damn it...damn it! Damn it! So many heretical magicians have come here, hindering my creation of Magus's Paradise! Disgusting! Disgusting! Disgusting! I find them utterly repulsive..."
Salesto cursed as he looked up at the sky. With so many people around, he knew it wasn't the time to fight both organizations at the same time. If Allen arrived soon, he might not be able to win even with his still-unfinished "manifestation device".
"Fine, fine, fine! You bunch of heretical magicians, just you wait! Next time I come, I'll take care of you all!" Alesto said, not feeling it was enough, he suddenly widened his eyes and turned to glare at Ming and Fildo on his shoulder.
“This heretic deserves to disappear, I can’t let him leave so easily again!” He said, reaching out his hand. Fildo’s body floated up, breaking free from Ming’s hand, which could easily lift four cars.
Mingben tried to grab it back, but an unusually strong repulsive force repelled him.
The girl, with her cold face and eyes that revealed a hint of madness and arrogance, was currently being held tightly in Salestio's grasp. His calloused hands gripped her slender wrists tightly, as if he wanted to crush her bones. A cruel smile played on his lips, his eyes gleaming with triumph, as he declared, "I'm taking this girl with me as experimental material! She will become part of my grand research, and I'll show those so-called heretical magicians what happens when they defy me!"
With that, Salestio violently flung the girl in his arms, as if she were nothing more than a worthless object. Then, without hesitation, he pressed a button on a device in his hand, and a strange light instantly enveloped his body. As the light faded, Salestio vanished into the deep night sky as if he had never existed.
