"Circulation Ice Magic. Dragon Head!" Sofia summoned another Dragon Head to stop him on his track.
It was supposed to swallow him, but the Dragon Head opened its mouth again before Kerza ripped it open.
"Ha!" Kerza showed the powerful strength he possessed. "That's quite powerful Magic you have there."
"…" Sofia gulped down as she understood Kerza's strength. Even though his skin didn't look that hard compared to any other self-proclaimed protectors, his strength was obviously higher than anyone. She might need to go a bit farther from the orphanage to avoid destroying the building.
Roselyn seemed to have picked Sofia's silence as a signal, understanding what she planned to do. They both had trained together, so they learned to trust each other more with this kind of silence.
"Gale Sword!" Roselyn waved her sword covered with torrential wind and hit Kerza in order to blow him away.
Unfortunately for her, the plan didn't work. Kerza formed another wall of wind that neutralized Roselyn's wind in an instant.
"What?!" Roselyn dropped her jaw to the ground as she couldn't believe that her power disappeared just like that.
"A wind user, eh? Interesting." Kerza smiled and praised Roselyn. "Your strength is indeed powerful and you have a talent in wielding that power. Unfortunately, your wind power can't be compared to mine."
"In that case." Roselyn leaped forward and slashed Kerza with her sword as she slowed down after passing him. Yet, Roselyn gritted her teeth as her hands felt numb. "Ugh. My hands…"
Kerza smirked as he raised all his hands that somehow got covered with a wind sphere spinning so fast around the tip of his tentacles. He looked like a boxer with multiple hands.
Roselyn could barely follow his movement and glared at him. 'He just punched my sword within that split second? A fast reaction speed, activation speed, and powerful strength. This may be hard for both of us.'
She knew that compared to Kai, her close quarter combat skills were still too low. That was why she thought Kai was the only one who could stop him while both she and Sofia attacked from the side.
"Sofia, change of plan. We need to deal with this guy here."
Seeing her distorted face, Sofia knew she was in great pain. Hence, she summoned three blue Magic Circles behind her back and released the ice chains, circling all over his body.
"Chains, huh." Kerza narrowed his eyes as if noticing the difference between normal chains and Sofia's chains.
Before he could say anything, Sofia's chain kept extending and punctured the ground as if it was trying to sew Kerza to the ground.
This is powerful, but not enough." Kerza smiled and released all his Wind power to crack the chains. It was not enough, but he did it once more to break free.
However, Roselyn took the small advantage she had and struck his side.
Kerza surprised her once more as the tentacle that was supposed to be his foot grabbed her sword, stopping it from cutting his other tentacles that had just gotten their freedom.
"It's not enough." Kerza shook his head in disappointment. Seeing Roselyn didn't plan to let go of that sword, he took a deep breath before releasing black ink from his mouth.
Roselyn dropped to the ground while looking at that high pressure black ink. If she received it from this range, there might already be a few cracks on her ribs despite being protected by the exoskeleton.
The wall was shattered and created a hole in the house behind it.
"…" Sofia and Roselyn were speechless as if they felt the gap between them.
"Circulation Ice Magic. Cage."
A huge cage with horizontal bars appeared above Kerza's head. She accompanied that cage with another Dragon Head to buy them some time.
After that, Sofia activated the red code to alarm Arnaud, Jules, and Rena that the threat level was far too high for them to handle.
The battle might also go beyond the level they had expected to the point it affected the civilians, so they requested backup.
Kerza ripped the dragon apart once more as he laughed. "Are you done?"
"Do you think you can win against us?!" Roselyn snorted.
"You already have the answer. Besides, it's not my full power since I can't unleash it unless I am in the water. You should feel lucky because, in the water, you would have died thousands of times." Kerza chuckled.
"That's only your assumption. Even if we lose, we still have Kai Carter. He will be the one who kills you." Sofia shook her head with a serious expression.
"No. If I kill you, Kai Carter will be filled with sadness. I want to see his expression if he sees his little lover die. Will he break?" Kerza smirked.
"That's only if you have the ability to kill us." Sofia snorted.
"You two may be strong, but you're still not my match." Kerza shook his head helplessly and approached them with the intention to kill.
However, he soon heard another person's voice ringing in his ears while the presence came after that. "Then, why don't we add one more?"
"!!!" Kerza raised all his hands while turning around but got two of his tentacles chopped off.
"Kai!" A smile appeared on Sofia and Roselyn's faces as someone they thought was still busy with his mission returned.
Kai smiled and nodded. "Sorry for making you wait."
"I thought you were still…" Sofia stopped and realized Kai had been fooling all of them. This was the concrete plan made by Kai and Marsha.
By creating a desperate situation for Oliver, the one behind him was forced to move at this point. And Kai would pretend he was still on his mission and ambush the attackers.
Unfortunately, he couldn't be fast enough as Sofia and Roselyn had solved almost all of them, but he managed to get the big boss' tentacles. It should be enough for an ambush.
"I have finished my mission. It turned out, instead of a time limit, there was another verse that told me to return early if I could finish my job faster. Such a scary girl in politics…" Kai shrugged with a carefree expression.
After that, he turned around and looked at Kerza. "They may not be enough, but what if you add me."
Kerza smirked and raised all his tentacles surrounded by a spinning wing. "That's still not enough."
