Chapter 250: Something's Wrong The mayor couldn’t believe Smith would bring people into the villa at a time like this when he was expecting important guests. Even after dismissing some of the guards to show everyone in the villa how important the guests were, his son still foolishly brought people in. ‘I’ll deal with him once this is over.’ The mayor thought angrily. The representatives from the Azure empire stood up and joined him in breaking the ice wall, when they noticed how hard it was, the younger man amongst them improvised and destroyed the earthen wall that was there all this while. This allowed them to see Grey and his friends as he was about to kill Smith. When Smith saw Grey’s lightning blade coming towards him, he immediately created an earth wall, as well as an earth armor around his body to help block against the attack. Bam! The lightning blade easily passed through the earth wall and aimed at Smith’s heart even with the earth armor there. Despair was the only thing present in Smith’s eyes as he watched the lightning blade slowly penetrating his earth armor. “Stop!” The mayor who was still inside the building yelled loudly. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖 The lightning blade which had already penetrated through the earth armor and just started piercing into Smith’s chest, stopped. Smith who had his eyes closed, seemingly waiting for death was surprised when he noticed he was still alive. He slowly opened his eyes and realized that although the lightning blade was still there, it wasn’t moving. Because of the fear of dying, he wasn’t actually feeling the pain of the blade that had pierced a few centimeters into his chest. “Let us go and your son will live.” Grey turned around to look at the mayor. His face was covered by an ice mask, which only left his eyes open. The mayor was caught in a dilemma when he heard their requests, if he let Grey and his friends go, then there was a chance that not only would he die, but his son who he was trying to protect will die as well. “Father, please save me.” Smith begged when he saw that there was a possibility that he might be saved. The mayor didn’t think long before making his decision, “Attack!” Some of the guards that were inside had moved outside while the mayor and the others were here trying to break through the wall. Not just that, but all the guards outside were running in this direction, a few were already hiding around, while some hadn’t gotten to this place yet. Hearing the mayor’s order, the guards who were inside and outside attacked Grey and his friends instantly. Smith was gripped by fear and shock when he heard his father’s order. His father left him to die, he couldn’t believe his father would do this to him. “Your stupidity, as well as your father, was the cause of your death, remember that.” Grey said as he drove the blade deeper into his chest, piercing his heart. Klaus, Alice, Reynolds, and Void blocked the attacks that the guards and the mayor sent their way as Grey killed Smith. Smith stared at his father in shock as blood started flowing out of his mouth, he could see a slight pain in his father’s eyes, but what was more present was fear. “You’re a smart man, this is the reason we made a deal with you in the first place.” The young man from the Azure empire said as they all came out of the building, and attacked Grey and his friends as well. “He’s not my only son. Allowing these people to escape will cause the death of my other children as well, why not sacrifice one to save the others?” The mayor hid the pain in his heart and said. Although his son was stupid, he was still his son. No parent would wish for their child to die, especially in front of them. Grey and the others started defending as they moved towards the fence surrounding the villa, they planned to escape since they’ve acquired more than they originally planned for. Although facing so many attacks was a little pressurizing, they tried their best to keep calm and collected. Boom! Within a minute or so, the number of guards has increased to over twenty, added with the mayor and his guests who were all at the Peak of the Arcane Plane, it was getting a little hard to advance because of the numbers. “No need to hold back. Go all out.” Grey ordered. Since all they needed to do was escape, so there was no use in reserving their strengths. A single attack from any of them is not something anyone among the mayor’s guards could defend against. They continued blocking the different elemental attacks coming towards them from the guards as well as the mayor, while also attacking to create an opening. Within a few seconds, they had removed around five to seven guards from the battle, but more had joined in on the battle. Buzz! Lightning rumbled as Alice sent out a huge lightning attack, it was none other than lightning rain, but on a larger scale compared to the ones Grey and Reynolds have previously used. Bang! Bam! Over ten guards were caught by the attack, immobilizing a few, while killing some. But even with this causality, the number of guards increased instead, more were rushing towards this place. The battle had been going on for almost two minutes, and Grey and his friends were already over halfway across the villa, it would take a minute or so for them to get to the fence. Klaus did a large-scale attack ice attack, multiple ice shards appeared mid-air, before shooting straight at the guards who were gathered in a particular area. It was a massacre. The group hadn’t been touched by any of their opponents’ attacks, yet they have killed over twenty guards with only two attacks. Reynolds sent lightning arrows towards the mayor’s group, but it was blocked. ‘Something’s wrong.’ Void suddenly said to Grey.
