Parallel Memory

They were very talented and compared to their generation, they were extremely powerful. However, even so, the Dark Guild members that were sent here were stronger than them. They stood no chance against the group of Dark Guild members.

Not to mention, Rank-S - Frey was also here.

They were already struggling with the mana aura that Frey was releasing. And Frey didn't seem to go easy on them either.

[ "Raging Flames Assault" ]

Frey had used her technique on them. It seemed that she planned to finish the mission quickly.

I was hesitant between saving them or staying hidden. Some of them might die if the attack hit them since it was so powerful. They had no ability to resist the attack.

However, I calmed down after sensing a familiar mana aura. I knew that I didn't need to make a move myself as Professor Mia had reached there. She immediately put an end to the giant fire attack. She seemed to have gotten even stronger than the last time I saw her.

I tried to see her strength using Insight Perception but couldn't. She was too strong for me to use Insight Perception. But I could sense that she had broken through to Rank-S and was stronger than Frey.

Hiro and others quickly fled the area after Professor Mia rescued them. Then Frey and Professor Mia started talking to each other before the Dark Guild members were ordered to follow Hiro and others.

I followed them.

[ "Icy Burst"]

However, Professor Mia didn't make it easy for them. She froze many of them and even I got hit by her attack, though due to my high resistance to ice, I was not affected. Although I was not affected, I did act like I was getting frozen and moved slowly before coming to a stop.

I even used my own ice magic to cover my body.

At that moment, I felt Professor Mia staring at me. I didn't know whether it was my illusion or not as it was only for a second. I looked carefully at my body and it was still that of Jester. There was no way that I gave myself out.

[ "Flame Burst"]

Anyway, Frey used her skill to free the Dark Guild members. My ice also melted. Though Frey did manage to free us with her technique, she had also given her identity away.

Well, I had no time to find out the outcome of their battle as I followed others in pursuing Hiro and others.

I could sense a huge outburst of mana from behind me. Professor Mia and Frey were going at each other with their full power.

I slowly made my way compared to others who went at it at full speed.

( IDIOTS! )

It made me think when I saw what they were doing. They are unnecessarily using their mana before a battle. They might be underestimating Hiro and the others and think that they could easily defeat them.

I also followed behind. Anyway, I was not in a hurry as I knew that the Dark Guild's objective was to just capture them. Even if they succeed, they would still be alive. And I didn't think that Hiro and the others would lose so quickly.

Furthermore, I couldn't just stand there doing nothing if I was there. And attacking Hiro and the others was also not an option.

Consequently, I thought that going slowly and showing up when they needed help would be the best course of action.

Soon, I sensed Dark Guild members stopping. And the reason was that Hiro, Lisa, Sylvia, Misha, Zion, and Lisanna were blocking the path. Well, rather than blocking, it might be correct to say baiting them as they were the prime targets all along.

The battle began almost immediately as Hiro and others had set up traps and the Dark Guild members had to defend themselves. Hiro, Zion, and Lisanna also came forward to strike at the enemy.

The barrier that was shielding the Dark Guild members was broken apart by Hiro and others fought with them.

The battle only intensified, however, the six of them were all okay while the Dark Guild members had been decreasing. Even so, the Dark Guild members were winning.

Hiro and the others' mana had been decreasing crazily since they were giving their all.

I had also reached the area.

Anyway, Grizz and his gang were in a shameful state with all the bruises and cuts on their bodies. They must be very upset to have been made in this state by some young boys and girls.

Thinking about how they are full of pride, and like to bully the weak, they might be regretting a bit for underestimating others.

( I think I should help them a bit! )

Hiro and the others had done a great job. Not only did they buy time for others to run but had also injured them while some of them were even defeated.

However, they were hanging on a thread and they would soon lose.

"JESTER! Why the F**K are you so slow?"

Grizz yelled at me. He seemed to want to vent his anger of not being able to easily defeat a bunch of kids on me. Anyway, he doesn't seem a bit scary with the state he was in. He even had the guts to show his back to the enemy and come to me.

-THAK!

Not only that, but he also hit me on the head.

( This MF is really asking for it! )

"Jester, did you get lost or something? Why didn't you come faster? I am fed up with your lack of seriousness."

Grizz started to scold me as usual. He still thinks that he is the boss and can act however he wants with me. I was even finding the situation a little funny as Grizz had no idea that his life would be finished the moment I swung the sword.

I could have at least felt guilty if he was a good human being or showed a good attitude towards me. But for the last time, he gave me no reason to spare him. Even at the last moment, he came to show his anger to me and scolded me even though he was a weakling and couldn't defeat his enemy.

"Sorry! Sorry! This will not happen again!"

"Humph! That is what you said last time. I don't think you really respect my words."

Grizz seemed to think that I was being obedient to him like usual and became even more arrogant. He was really a lost cause. He can't understand that one should not make trouble with teammates when facing an enemy. Though I was never his teammate.

"Just let him off this time! We have an important mission to complete."

The sub-leader commanded. Grizz stopped as commanded.

"Sorry! This will really be the last time you need to say this."

I said as I took out my sword.

"Humph! Better be careful next time!'

Grizz said as he was going back to fight with Lisanna. He seemed to think that I was apologizing to him or something. Well, it can be seen as an apology, an apology for killing him.

-STAB!

I pushed my sword through his heart. There is no way that he could get out of this place alive. As a matter of fact, none of the Dark Guild would survive after this incident.

"You! YOU!"

Grizz slowly turned his head while yelling. He didn't comprehend what had just happened. I smiled and said,

"This would be the last time because you wouldn't live past today! "

-SLASH!

I removed my sword. Grizz's body fell to the ground.

"What the hell Jester? Why did you do that?"

His gang started to yell, especially August. Despite yelling, August did not take any action. If they had any affection for Grizz, they should at least attack me and take revenge for Grizz. However, they just shouted without taking any action.

They might seem like someone who is focused on a mission without letting any emotion get in their way. However, the truth was that they didn't care about Grizz and were only afraid of me.

They were just cowards!

"Do you know the consequences of what you did?"

The subleader asked. He was still calm. The sub-leader must be thinking that I am Jester and that I was betraying them.

"What consequences? You'll probably not be alive to report me, anyway!"

Subleader must be thinking that I would be punished by the Dark Guild. There would be a way that they could know that I betrayed them as they would be dead. Well, even if he could leave there alive, he could not find me. Jester is already dead and I would be taking this mask off after today. Even if they sent every member of the Dark Guild, they could not find Jester.

Anyway, it is more likely that the subleader and the other Rank-A would get out of this place alive. They had become weaker and they couldn't win against me even if I went easy on them.
