CHAPTER 17

[Rusnik family is the Lebia family and Musaki family is the Warin family]

"Thank you for all the help. But you know anything about what is going to befall us?", Solork asked.

"Yes. The A rank squads are all probably turned against the empire. But don't worry ! We will show them who's the boss. But they did start pretty early. The other S rank squads wouldn't even have got the information.", Raiku said.

"Yes, but what did we do to deserve this ?", Arata asked.

"Nothing. Mostly the fact you actually didn't get wiped out and the fact you are still alive. Never expected 2 B rank squads to be completely wiped out by you. This was the most unexpected.", Raiku answered.

"Oh ! Is that so….", Arata answered.

"Anyways, This is Edward Mahler, and he is a summoner. This is Yuri Mahler, she is an enhancer, this is Thalamus, a defender and I am a Enhancer with this Nunchaku.", he said pointing to all the three people behind him and then taking out his weapon.

"Nice to meet you !", they said.

"Wow ! You guys are strong !", Rachel said.

"You too will be in no time, don't worry ! And you already have such a handsome man to help you out. I don't even have any !", Yuri said.

"Oh, Yes I feel very lucky to have him.", Rachel said with a smile which warmed Arata's heart. It was now time to discuss the battle strategy. Well of course, the battle is going to happen in the night as there will be not much public to hide in. They planned to go to their hideout itself to avoid public casualties. They also wanted to take advantage of the fact that the enemy doesn't know that there are 4 legend rank people on their side.

The plan was to leave the A rank squad people to the Mahler Legend ranks. Rest of the people had to be handled by the Zipang squad. As Rachel and Arat had levelled up, they should be able to fight Gold ranks and defeat them.

"So let's go !", Arata said. In real life, what happens is mostly never according to the plan. So let's leave it to fate. Arata and Rachel were very excited. There were freaking Strong people there and they wanted to fight them. A test of their skills in martial arts, sent their souls shaking.

After eating dinner, they headed towards their hideout with their hand in their pockets. This time, while reaching there, Wakatoshi and Igsem transformed. Arata had seen this many times, but their forms really surprised him. Igsem looked like a goddess with wings on her back and a slight crown on her head. Wakatoshi became completely shrouded in dark and it was creepy, seeing the person but not feeling them. They still looked human, but definitely not full human, but something bigger.

Battle ready, they reached their hideout, where people were still talking around and getting ready. But Agnis, Roy and Shao were ready to go. And then, the war began.

Arata and Rachel rushed right in, taking out everyone at the speed of light. The the B rank and C rank cultivators did not stand a chance. With ultimate speed, they slashed everyone in front of them, and made sure they died, not just half dead.

Ching !

Mustang came in front of Arata. "Stop murdering my squad like nothing !", he screamed. He also had a sword, and it was a spirit weapon.

"Finally a worthy person for me !", Arata said. Meanwhile, Rachel was confronted by the leader of Yuley squad Hock Yuley.
