Everyone Shows Their Skills

"Hey, when will you get the stuff?"

For some reason, Eleven felt a vague sense of disappointment. He had just mentally prepared himself, so why did he suddenly not have to continue acting?

Bacchus first glanced at the older women surrounding Eleven, a hint of envy in her eyes, but when her gaze fell upon Eleven, it turned to one of amazement.

Fortunately, Bacchus didn't pounce on him like he did at night; he remained rational and showed no interest in men whatsoever.

"When he first came to power last night, Zaxue was disgusted, and we took advantage of his emotional state. Let's go, there's no time to waste here."

"Eh, one night"

Eleven turned to look at Yi Ye, only to find that Yi Ye was already striking a pose with a smug expression, as if everything was under his control and exactly as he had predicted.

How could my stunning beauty have been defeated by a single night?

For some reason, this thought suddenly popped into Eleven's mind, but he quickly banished it. What a load of rubbish! He'd almost been corrupted by a night's worth of thoughts.

After bidding a reluctant farewell to the dancers, Eleven and Illya followed Bacchus out the back door, where Jura was already waiting.

Actually Eleven and his group's plan was somewhat different from what they initially planned. They had originally intended to use Eleven's charms to lure Zaxue out, and then kidnap Zaxue.

However, after investigation, they discovered an even simpler method: stealing the ring from Zaxue's hand, which was the key to the kingdom's treasury. Since their mission was simply to bring back Dragon Cry, it would be best to avoid alerting Zaxue.

So the task was assigned as follows: Eleven and Yiye used their charms to attract Zaxue's attention, Bacchus took the opportunity to steal the ring, Jura used a rock to make a copy of the same one, and finally, Aria, who was good at flying and Concealment, went to steal the Dragon Cry.

After Jura copies the ring, Bacchus will secretly return it to Zaxue. So, this process should go unnoticed by anyone. They might have already run back to Fiore by the time the Kingdom of Stella discovers that Dragon Cry has been stolen.

Well, that's assuming nothing unexpected happens.

Beep beep

The piercing city alarm blared without warning, forcing Eleven and his group to stop and assess the situation.

However, the fact that city alarms sound during this period is almost certainly related to them.

Sure enough, in the direction of the castle, a green figure, bathed in countless magical rays, was seen fleeing in a disheveled state, clutching a staff.

It was clear that Aria's theft had been discovered.

"What a useless piece of trash, good for nothing but causing trouble," Bacchus spat out in utter disdain.

"Alright, alright, the most important thing now is to rescue Aria. I think what he's holding is the Dragon Cry Staff, so the mission hasn't failed yet." Jura as a peacemaker, suppressing Bacchus's dissatisfaction.

Everyone present was a top-tier S-rank mage from their respective guilds, so they naturally knew what to do and when to do it. Bacchus was just casually teasing Aria from afar, without actually complaining.

The crowd immediately scattered and rushed towards Aria. Bacchus, who was running in the lead, looked up and shouted at Aria.

"Hey, hurry up and throw the Dragon Cry to me!"

Aria in the sky saw Bacchus coming to his rescue and instinctively raised his arm to throw the hot staff over. However, he hesitated at this moment. After all, the credit for successfully finding the Dragon Cry in the treasure vault was enormous, and Aria was actually wondering if Bacchus would steal his credit.

Rumble

However, in that brief moment of hesitation, a magical ray struck Aria hard in the back, sending sparks flying and blasting away the Dragon Cry Magic Staff that Aria had been holding in her hand.

Below, Bacchus leaped and caught the staff steadily, glancing in mid-air at the disheveled Aria who had landed awkwardly. It wasn't that he was concerned about Aria's injuries; such an attack wouldn't kill him. He just increasingly felt that Aria was incredibly clumsy, managing to get hit by the enemy while simply passing a staff—what a noob!

Upon landing, Bacchus leaped into the air without pausing for a moment. The magical rays that had been chasing Aria in the sky suddenly changed course, as if programmed, and slammed into the spot where Bacchus had been standing.

A barrage of magical rays surged forth once more, this time aimed directly at Bacchus on the ground. However, Bacchus, a mage renowned for close combat, possessed incredible reflexes; he leaped across walls and dodged through the air, and not a single ray managed to hit him.

"First squad, third squad, stop him!"

The king's side reacted very quickly; soon, many soldiers climbed onto the rooftops and surrounded Bacchus, blocking his path.

However, when he saw that those who intercepted him were ordinary soldiers, Bacchus laughed. Although his magic wasn't particularly powerful, when combined with his palm techniques, it was almost unstoppable when targeting ordinary humans.

"Hey-ha Drunken Pigua Palm Eight Trigrams Combo"

After chugging down several mouthfuls of liquor, Bacchus laughed wildly as he charged forward. His drunken state seemed incredibly slow and clumsy, but in a single flash, Bacchus broke through the defenses and leaped off the roof. The soldiers behind him fell to the ground one after another, their fates unknown.

However, this delay allowed the magical rays in the air to get closer. Bacchus, who was in mid-air, naturally lost the ability to dodge. He helplessly pursed his lips, then flicked his hand, sending Dragon Cry to the side. All the magical rays also changed direction.

"Rock Iron Wall"

A solid, thick wall rose up the instant the staff flew past, precisely blocking the magical ray attack, while the Dragon Cry Magic Staff ended up in the hands of a bald man.

Jura was naturally not as agile as Bacchus, but he didn't need to leap and bound; he simply ran openly down the central avenue. Stone walls followed him like shadows, seemingly alive, protecting him from all Jura.

Even when soldiers blocked his path, Jura simply waved his hand, and a path formed of rock and earth rose into the air beneath his feet, carrying him directly across the soldiers' encirclement, allowing him to safely pass through.

However, even the most consistent players can have off days, especially when there are elderly ladies crossing the street or mischievous kids retrieving balls.

Jura, almost collided head-on with the old man and the young man, and staggered, causing a gap to appear in his defensive rhythm.

In order not to harm the innocent, Jura had no choice but to throw the Dragon Cry in one direction, and the magical rays in the sky also changed direction accordingly.

Behind him, Yi Yuan, who had been running all night and was panting heavily, was leaning against the wall when suddenly a staff was planted straight in front of him, followed by an overwhelming barrage of magical rays.

Yi Ye's face turned deathly pale instantly. She grabbed her staff and ran away as fast as she could. This was truly an unexpected disaster.

"Zero-Distance Inhalation: Dash Parfum"

Suddenly, he took out two test tubes containing pale yellow gas from his pocket, then stuck them into his nostrils with a "plop" and inhaled sharply.

The fragrance had an effect; pale yellow magic emanated from his feet, instantly increasing his running speed and leaving afterimages in his wake.

The soldiers were about to stop them when they saw a transvestite with a pale yellow dress and tousled hair pouting and kissing them.

"Wow, a ghost!"
