Sebastian did a mental countdown.
10..9…8
The entire room of rebel officials were thrown into a frenzy after his proposal and could not sense their upcoming inevitable doom as they busied themselves with needless banter.
3…2…1
Sebastian used the teleportation technique and he teleported straight outside the town hall right beside Max who had the return stone for Sebastian's teleportation technique.
" NOW! " Sebastian urged Max, who did not need to be told twice, as he aimed straight at the Town hall door and used the spell
[ Inferno ]
Max's inferno was unstoppable, killing two tier1 rebel officers on perimeter duty before blasting the door of the town hall open to come in contact with the natural gas and create a massive explosion.
*KABOOOM*
A massive explosion that rocked the entire city took place at the townhall, as Max had clearly underestimated the power of the natural gas explosion with him and Sebastian being blasted backwards by the shockwave for being too close to the blast epicentre.
Screams could be heard everywhere as everything seemed to be going in slow motion for Max who was reeling from the effects of the shockwave, with all his senses into hyperdrive.
He was flooded with endless amounts of system notification, but now was not the time for him to sit and review them as he grabbed his BloodSucker sword and began cutting down the surviving rebel officers on perimeter duty.
*Shua* *Shua* *Shua*
Arrows whizzed past Max's ears and killed opponents to his right, as Anna who had eyes on the situation from afar had joined the fray and started killing the survivors.
Within seconds, the rest of his crew also arrived at the spot alongside a flood of citizens who wanted to see just what had happened.
Max's uncanny genius had killed 194 tier3 rebel captains and two tier 4 generals at once from the explosion leaving only 6 heavily injured tier 3 captains and 2 tier4 generals alive.
Even the ones who did survive were burnt from head to toe and in disbelief as to what the heck was going on as daggers rained down towards them.
Asiva had decided to go for the head of the big fishes right from the get-go as she ignored all other rebel security officers and went straight for the two surviving tier4 generals.
Asiva was relentless with her attacks as she single handedly took on two tier4 generals and gave neither the time to drink a HP potion or have a chance to counter as she kept pushing them backwards and backwards.
After the university's tournament, Asiva felt like it was only today that she was fighting at her peak strength without reservations and it felt damn good to be able to do so.
One of the two tier4 generals had a hideously burnt left arm which he could not manoeuvre at all and his left leg was also as good as useless because he could not put his full body weight on it and hobbled everytime he tried.
This gave Asiva the edge she needed to make life difficult for that general, however, she could not land any blows because of the other tier4 general who was apparently the luckiest bastard in the townhall having his HP bar reduced by only 40%.
All of Asiva's attempts to create an opening and attack the limp general were thwarted by the healthy one and the two sides reached a sort of stalemate.
The stalemate was broken, however, by none other than Sebastian who used his premium sword technique [ 10,000 Cuts ] and managed to knock the healthy general back while inflicting 4% damage to his HP bar.
With him out of the equation momentarily, Asiva immediately used [ Illusionary Daggers ] and pierced the limping tier4 general on his only working leg thrice with daggers forcing him to kneel.
Once the tier4 general kneeled it was game over for him as Asiva mercilessly charged and took his head off in one clean cut of her dagger killing the tier4 general for good.
" Nawima NO! " the other tier4 general shouted as he witnessed the death of his childhood friend Nawima right infront of his eyes.
" I will kill you all! I will kill you! Especially you lying piece of shit pirate dwarf bastard" the general cursed at the top of his throat as he began preparing his strongest attack in his fit of rage.
" Retreat " Sebastian said, sensing the incoming danger as he stepped back from the enemy but Asiva being Asiva charged straight through thinking that she would be able to land an attack before the other guy prepared his spell.
It was an utterly dumb decision on her part, as when she was only halfway towards the enemy, he was ready with the spell as he looked towards Asiva with maniacal eyes and said " Die bitch "
Asiva panicked, she braced for impact as the other party who was a mage unleashed the tier4 attack [ Thundering Dragon ]
A dragonhead whose roar sounded like the rumbling Thunder of the clouds charged towards Asiva at a high speed as Asiva crossed her daggers and prepared to block the strike.
She had made an error in judgement by rushing onto the enemy, she should have taken a more cautious approach and now she was going to suffer because of it.
When the attack was only ten metres away from Asiva, suddenly a flame wall erected itself between her and the incoming attack as Max came to his girlfriend's rescue.
The dragon collided with the flame wall and the wall stood firm for about 3 seconds before giving way to a weakened dragon who was neutralized by a fireblast.
" Leave it to me now " Max said as he cast [ Chain Heal ] to heal all of his crew members before entering into close combat with the only tier4 general standing.
" So you're the leader of this attack? Good you deserve to die first " the rebel general said as he cast spell after spell towards Max which were all neutralized by Max's own firespells.
After 30 seconds of casting spells at full speed the tier4 general began to show signs of fatigue as the previous attack and the barrage had taken a lot out of his mana pool.
Max on the other hand was not even breathing heavy and only increased the pace of his attacks, much to the bewilderment of his enemy.
