Chapter 64 Trapped Predator

Venundarr Center Plaza, the once bustling place is now desolated. The remnants of twin wizard's spell is still present. Roots emerging from the ground and some of the are are still flooded.

"Is that..." mutter by the raven haired girl with an eyepatch. "Kastor and Pollux from the Magus Guild?" she added while looking at the lifeless body of the twin wizards.

"Where's Cleo?" Alger anxiously questioned while taking the spatial ring of Kastor and Pollux.

"We must hurry, they were on the way at the cave when we split earlier." Valerie said with a worrying look on her face.

"As much as I want to take part on Camilla's downfall, I'm already at my limit." Clyde intervened, sweat mixed with his own blood cover his handsome face. "Besides I need to be at a acceptable distance to fully utilize the emerald gemstone." he added.

Valerie is obviously not a fan of this decision however she can't really retort Clyde's reasonable explanation.

"Don't worry, with Camilla's condition, were enough to deal with her." Alger said with full confidence.

Alger wants to check on his guild mate's condition who are also battling the Magus and Duskfall Guild. However he doesn't have that luxury since Cleo and Leah also need his help.

Albeit outnumbered, Hallows Guild have more than twenty 2nd job members. Their only real hurdle is the leader of Duskfall Guild.

Like Camilla and Alger, the leader of Duskfall Guild is also at his 3rd job. Kerra is a Shadow Stalker the next path of Assassin. She might not be the best at head on assault like Camilla and Alger but she can easily assassinate backline supports and wizards with the help of her Shadow Stalker skill One with the Shadow paired with Guillotine Strike.

Of course with Clyde's network they were aware of Kerra's capabilities. They made a defensive plan to preemptively counter her by utilizing Paladins and Crusaders.

Alger steel his resolves and decided to put his trust on his guild mates.

Valerie just nods and proceed to lead Alger to where Cleo and Leah is.

After almost thirty minutes of non stop running, both Valerie and Alger arrive at the cave where the red heads lured a silver haired monster.

Valerie and Alger anxiously glance at each other. They expected at least some echoed noise coming from weapons clashing. Both of them rush inside with the same thought in mind, let the both of them be safe.

While running they stumble upon a trembling elf. Cleo informed both them before hand that they might encounter a trapper inside, they were advise not to engage unless the other party had bad intention.

"Fuck! That red headed bastard didn't informed us that Camilla is the enemy." Phraan muttered while visibly trembling.

Alger heard his muttering and questioned the trembling elf.

"Hiek! Who are you?" Phraan panicky questioned.

"Were here to help Cleo, where are they and why is it too silent." Alger asked.

"I-I don't know, if you don't want to die follow me and let's get out of here." Phraan replied.

"Just tell us what happened?" Alger asked once again.

"C-come, let's get out of here." Phraan said.

Valerie's eyebrow twitch in anger. She winds her arm then crunch her fist into the trapper's face.

Phraan was caught off guard and fell on his back. The trapper instinctively hold his mouth and coughs out a tooth.

"Leave the poor elf alone." Alger teased. He was also caught off guard by the beautiful one-eyed crusader. "We'll somehow manage, let's go." he added.

"Don't blame me, I already warned you!" Phraan said. He hurriedly pick up himself and rush to the exit.

Valerie and Alger just shrugged at his words and proceed to delve deeper into the cave.

The cave consist of branching paths however Cleo already made precautions. The torch that was placed before hand made the navigating the cave easier for Valerie and Alger.

After weaving through the paths, both Valerie and Alger arrive at their destination.

Their eyes widened in shock. Instead of a deadly clash between Cleo, Leah and Camilla, they stumble upon the three having a conversation with a reasonable distance at each other.

"Cleo! Leah! Are you both alright?" Valerie shouted at the two red heads.

"You really gone insane Valerie! I already gave you a chance to escape and yet you come back." Camilla intervened.

"Little girl, you bit more than you can chew." Alger said while stepping forward from the shadows.

Camilla raises her eyebrows upon seeing the old man.

"What are you doing here Alger?" Camilla asked. "I don't remember offending the Hallows Guild." she added.

Camilla may be able to take all of them if she's in her prime and release Asurendra's First Blessing but right now she's not in her optimal condition. Not only she's missing an arm due to her previous battle, she also didn't have enough time to fully recover.

"I'm just here to repay a debt." Alger said. "I can't believe Clyde manage to put you in that state." he added.

"That bastard! I'll make sure he will die after I'm done with you all!" Camilla said. Her blood boils at the mere mention of Clyde's name. After all he was the sole reason why she can't easily deal with Alger.

"Let's get this over with." Alger said. "Royal Spirit!" he added. The huge spirit knight once again appear behind him, holding two great sword in each of its hand.

"Asurendra's First Blessing: Release!" Camilla shouted. A blue aura engulfs Camilla and her eyes turn white.

She really didn't want to use this skill that often since the price is her own life force. However she really didn't have a choice, Alger the same as her was also at his 3rd job.

The already thin air inside the cave got thinner with the two monstrous aura clashing. Cleo, Leah and Valerie rush to block the path where Camilla might escape.

This is their only chance to take down Camilla once and for all. If Camilla somehow escapes to Lavierre Kingdom and inform the King, a war might break loose.
