Souta's eyes could see the people that were fighting. Although his vision was filled with mana, he could still see those people.
"Hahaha, a group of people is attacking this city. It seems that this will be the first job of Nine Heads." He laughed lightly as he glanced at the people around the room.
Ray looked deeply at him before he nodded. "Seventh Head is right. I don't know what they are planning but to think that they would attack the Bland City out of all cities."
"Is this related to the other City Lords?" The Second Head asked calmly.
"Perhaps." The Third Head answered.
"We'll know it once we captured them." Jovi, the Fifth Head, said with a light smile.
"Hihi, we should fight them together or you'll handle this alone, First Head?" The Ninth Head said with a laugh.
"To avoid further casualties, it's better if we work together. What's the point of forming the Dragon Council if we're not going to help each other? Since they dared to attack this place even though most of my subordinates are here, it means that they are prepared." Ray said.
The others nodded at his words.
Hmm...?
Everyone looked up as they felt a large concentration of mana descending toward the City Hall.
"Let me handle this one. You guys can go now." The Eight Head said as his body bulked up instantly. His energy rose as he shot through the roof.
BANG!!
Ray and the rest looked at each other. They knew what they have to do.
Swoosh!
Their figures shot through the windows as they flew in different directions.
The guards of Bland City were fighting the unknown people that suddenly launched an attack. Even though they had an advantage in numbers, they became passive in battle. Why? It's simple. They had to protect a large number of civilians.
The attack was too sudden and hundreds of civilians already died in just a short amount of time.
So the guards divided their forces. The first group was going to hold the attackers while the second group was going to help the civilians in evacuating.
At this moment, Souta landed on the rooftop and observed the city. A total of two hundred and thirty-five experts were on the enemy's side. While Bland City had triple the number of forces but since they had to protect the civilians, they couldn't perform to the best of their abilities.
'Once the civilians are out. The soldiers of the Governor could easily annihilate this group of people.'
He rubbed his chin and turned his head to the city walls. A lot of soldiers tightened their guards on the wall in case someone attacked.
'But two hundred twenty-five experts... The soldiers on the walls didn't even notice them entering the city. How?'
Souta shook his head and smiled, "I'll just capture one of them and ask. Maybe, they knew about the Murder Society or the culprit behind the assassination."
Suddenly, he felt intense cold behind him. When he turned around, he saw a blueish energy rushing in his direction with thousands of ice particles.
Swoosh!
Amune and the chubby man glared at the figure standing in the hallway. The figure was an old man with a wrinkled face and he had a pair of antenna sticking out on his forehead.
"Who are you?!" Amune asked with all seriousness. His energy slowly seeped out of his body.
The chubby man was also observing this old man. Both of them didn't even know where this person come from.
"My, my, my, the two of you are quite strong... I wonder if you have a time to let this old man experience the thrill of fighting." The old man had a creepy smile on his face as he took a step forward inside the room.
"What do you mean?" Amune asked cautiously. He secretly glanced at the chubby man and found that he was also looking at him.
"Let's try to kill each other! You win if you killed me!" The old man's face distorted as flesh burst out turning into sharp and flexible whips.
Swoosh!!
Amune and the chubby man widened their eyes. They jumped through the windows and launched an energy ray on the lowest level of the hotel.
BOOM!!
The first floor was swept out and the hotel started to fall to the building beside it. When it collided, cracks spread out as various debris crashed on the ground.
"What the hell is that?!"
Amune stared at the scene as he landed on the ground with the chubby man several dozens of meters away from the hotel.
"I don't know." The chubby man shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh my, you guys are too good." A voice sounded as a figure came out of the smoke.
Amune narrowed his eyes warily while the chubby man glanced at the figure before looking at Amune.
"I'll leave this one to you. My job here is done." The chubby man said.
"Don't worry, you can leave the rest to me." Amune nodded.
"Be careful, this one isn't ordinary." The chubby man turned around and waved his hand.
"Trying to run from me!" The old man grinned before he charged forward.
He zoomed the distance between them in an instant. He was about to swing his arm when Amune appeared in front of him and launched a series of lightning punches.
Bang! Bang!
"Hey, I'm your opponent," Amune said as he gathered his energy in his feet and kicked the old man in the chest.
His lightning kick landed heavily on the old man's chest. A shockwave spread out from the center of the impact.
Ugh!
The old man spat a mouthful of blood as he endured the kick, then he grasped his opponent's feet. His other hand turned into a huge sharp blade as he swing it down at his opponent.
"Who are you?!"
Amune opened his eyes. He twisted his body and used the momentum to launch another kick using his foot.
Bang!!
Lightning erupted from his feet as it collided with the huge sharp blade.
"I am Franklin. Remember the name of the person who's going to kill you." The old man had a huge smile on his face before he swing his hand once again.
Bang!!
Ray landed on the ground as he observed the enemies who were attacking his soldiers.
The Dragon Council was formed. He knew that he couldn't bring all the City Lords to his side. Even if he explained that he wanted to protect the Mine Valley, there was no point as long as he couldn't give them huge profits. Some of them truly wanted to protect this land while others only move for profits.
'The City Lords. Where are they?'
He moved through the land as he observed the things around him. He didn't show himself yet as there was a chance that a hidden enemy was just hiding nearby waiting for him to come out.
Or maybe... The target wasn't him from the beginning but instead, the aim of the attackers was those City Lords.
But why?
While he was in deep thought, he felt something above him. When he looked up, he saw a fireball with a radius of three meters.
"Shit!"
The fireball crashed down like a meteorite.
BOOM!!
Two people were standing several dozen of meters away from the explosion.
"Did you get him?"
"Yeah, but I don't think this is enough to take down the famous Governor Ray."
"Surely, he's a person with power but that attack power is enough to damage him to a certain degree."
The two people suddenly paused as a huge wave of energy erupted from the smoke and dust. They raised their hands and were about to attack once again...
Swoosh!!
A white energy flashed from the smoke and in the next moment, a person was already beside him.
"Huh?!"
The two people were frozen in shock. They were still looking at the smoke, not realizing that Ray was beside them.
"You're underestimating me too much. That level of attack wouldn't harm me at all."
Ray said before he swung down his fist.
[Golden Giant Fist]!!
A golden bright light flashed and a golden giant fist crashed down on the bodies of the two people.
BANG!!
They didn't even realize that they were buried beneath the ground. The force of the fist spread out like a ring sweeping everything in its path.
Dozens of houses were demolished instantly.
"I didn't expect that they are already waiting for me... Then, what about the other City Lords?"
Ray gazed at two bodies on the ground. Then, he turned around with a sigh. He had some guesses about the goal of the attackers but why do this in his city? All the City Lords were here so the power of Mine Valley was concentrated in Bland City at this moment.
"These two are dead... I should have lessened my strength."
He shook his head. He forgot to hold his strength and accidentally killed these two people. He thought that they were strong since they could launch a powerful fireball but it seems that he overestimated them. Their defenses were too fragile that they broke instantly under his power.
