Chapter 20: Chapter 18 - Barbecue

"Damn she's feisty!"

"She even stabbed him"

Two men who seemed to be in their mid thirties stood outside while guarding what seemed to be a small room with an iron door while having a conversation.

They were both armed.

One of the men had a firearm with a magazine containing mana-infused bullets slung diagonally across his body while the other had two short swords tucked into the utility belts on the sides of his waist.

Both of their outfits had a purple logo of an ominous looking snake.

"Serves that pedophile right though" the man with a firearm continued.

"Are you crazy? If you're heard saying that, losing your limbs will be the least of your concerns" replied the man with short swords while chastising his partner.

"Relax man. We're the only ones here. No one can hear us"

"Still, I'd appreciate it if you could keep that mouth of yours shut. I sure as hell would love to preserve my limbs for the foreseeable future. Also, it's not like you're all that different from Corneo as you'd also do the same"

"Hahaha! You know me too well my man"

Ivelia listened to the two men from the other side of the dark room she was in while shivering.

Corneo had asked his goons to throw her into a cold room to torture her and break her after he failed to rape her.

Even though they'd dressed her in a white risqué lacy outfit that showed off all of her assets, she'd managed to sneak in a small pocket penknife she always kept on her being for cutting herbs into her bra.

It had ended up being the right move as she had been able to stab him a few times in his oversized potbelly.

Although he had tried to beat her into submission after she did that, something he actually successfully did, Ivelia however wasn't going to let him off that easily and she also fought back and bit him on his arm, her teeth digging into it and drawing blood as he screamed in pain while calling for his security to help him.

Ivelia raised her shivering hands to touch her swollen cheeks and eye as she winced from the pain.

She then tried to rub her hands to generate a bit of heat but it was all to no avail as they had already poured cold water over her before throwing her into the cold room.

She knew that all she was doing was pointless but she would rather fight back with everything she had and have herself killed than allow that bastard pervert to have his way with her.

As she kept shivering alone in the dark cold room, tears began to drip down her face while remembering how Ivar was laying in his pool of blood as she was being dragged away.

She also began to worry about Briar's state and began to think of who would take care of her.

Small silent sobs began to echo through the room as what were originally drops of tears began to stream down her face like a tap left opened.

As she continued wallow in her sadness and misery, a sudden explosion shook the room she was in!

-BOOM!

The explosions didn't seem to stop there as they continuously rang through the entirety of the hideout.

-BOOM!

-BOOM!

-BOOOOM!

"We're under attack! Everyone, rush out and hold the forte! We can't allow the Tower to destroy our hideout" a panicked voice rang throughout the speakers placed in the entirety of the hideout.

"The Tower?!"

"How did they locate us?!"

"We've been under their radar for so long so why now?!"

"What if it isn't The Tower and it's just a rogue ranker"

"Then we're still in deep shit!"

"Besides, only The Tower would even do something like this in the first place"

Almost every member present in the dark guild began to rush out while having these types of conversations in hushed and panicked voices.

Even if it ended up not being the The Tower, they knew that they were still very much screwed because only a very strong person would openly attack them like this.

Ivelia continuously heard the rumbling sounds of footsteps marching and running around the hideout from the room she was in.

Some members maintained their positions as they were given strict instructions by Kai, their vice head, not to vacate their positions regardless of the situation. Such was the same for the two men guarding the cold room Ivelia was in.

As the members of the Python's dark guild rushed out from the front doors, they could see that their cars and the water tank had been thoroughly blown to bits.

Everywhere seemed to be covered in a sea of fire and waves of water washing away some of their members.

The scene before them looked completely chaotic.

Suddenly they heard a shout!

"Flynn! Ivar! Now!"

The moment they heard that voice, they tried to locate where the sound came from but all they got in return was a very bright blinding light which seemed to want to destroy their eyeballs, causing them to immediately close their eyes and use their arms to block the blinding rays of light.

"[Telekinetic Series: Force Pull] !!!"

Suddenly, all the goons felt like they were being dragged by an invisible force as they were all dragged towards one spot, causing them to collide with each other.

"[Earth Series: Wall Formation] !!!"

Rumbling sounds could be heard as the light subsided and the members all noticed that they were now in one spot and were surrounded on all sides by square ten-meter-tall, rough, rock-like walls.

Some members immediately realized they were being trapped and tried to jump over but it was too late as the walls began to close over on them like a canopy. All of this happened within seconds.

The goons immediately began to panic and started firing their mana-infused guns and even tried to begin breaking the walls using their magic spell.

As they tried to do so, some of them noticed a round circular vial of glass coming through the very small space left at the top of the rocky canopy.

The mana-infused bullet some goons were firing immediately shattered it, lighting the liquid with a spark of fire and resulting in a fiery and deafeningly huge explosion.

"[Gravity Series: Compression] !!"

-BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

A single word was present on Flynn's mind as the plan he made came to fruition.

'Checkmate!'

***

(Aiden's POV)

(About 20 minutes before Python's hideout was attacked).

"Considering what we're all going to need to do, you're both going to need to use those mana potions immediately after we use our spells. I'll be fine but you guys will not, so use it immediately" I said to Flynn and Ivar.

They nodded in response to me as we went over the plan again one more time.

We were now at the front of Python's hideout as Ivar had directed us to.

The hideout was very well camouflaged as it looked like an old abandoned building, specifically a small one-floor warehouse present in a very secluded area of the outskirts of the city, much farther from where Ivelia and Ivar's shops were.

As we hid in the cover of the bushes, we carefully scouted the area around it and realized that even if it did look like it was a very old abandoned warehouse, surveillance cameras were still attached in a few places with a few scantily placed guards patrolling the grounds.

Luckily for us though, only one large door was present in the front of the building, making the process of gathering them in one spot very easy.

A bit of luck was required in Flynn's plan and this was a welcome addition.

Besides, by the time we started, they wouldn't even have time to check their cameras, but still, we made sure to approach from an angle where the surveillance camera's would find it hard to immediately spot us from.

Flynn's plan was a ridiculously easy one if I'm being honest, but it was the simplicity of it that made it so dangerous.

Dangerous and effectively brutal.

Simply put, the plan had three phases: Draw-out, distraction and destruction.

We would initially cause a few small but still dangerous explosions which would then draw most of them out.

From there on, we would converge them after distracting them with mana-reinforced flashbang grenades to one spot and hit them with one of the bigger explosive potions Ivar made.

The reason Flynn had asked us to directly make a frontal attack was that it would make the members of the dark guild think that their attackers were from the Tower.

He had also surmised that for the guild to have existed this long without the Tower's knowledge, most of it's members would probably be non-rankers and even if they were, they would be around D-rank.

This would in turn cause them to not think rationally, which would immediately give them a reason to pour out in droves thereby making it easier for us to gather them in one spot as only the Tower would attack a dark guild head on without any tricks or infiltrations, especially if it's a small one like theirs.

"Are we all clear on what we need to do once more" I asked once again.

"Affirmative" Flynn and Ivar responded.

"Okay then. Let's begin!"

The moment I said that, we all darted towards the warehouse, using the cover of the bushes as camouflage.

As soon as we got very close to the warehouse, we began throwing the explosive potions and some small grenades we bought from an arms shop while targeting the few cars present and other things that would make a large explosion.

Even as we did this, we still hid in the bushes.

The liquids that spilled from the explosive potion that were now on the ground would then go on to explode again like a chain reaction if even something as little as a spark of flame so much as touched it, which then went on to create seas of fire.

This immediately caused the members in the warehouse to have a simulated feeling of being attacked by many people as they began to flock out in droves. They numbered in about 20 members.

Flynn threw one of the grenades to the only water tank present in the area, resulting in an even larger explosion as the large tank exploded while spilling a huge amount of water which washed away some of the members that were already outside the warehouse.

As they flocked out in droves, I signaled to Ivar and Flynn by shouting while throwing multiple mana-reinforced flashbang grenades as we immediately put the second phase plan into motion.

The final part of the plan involved me compressing the large explosive potion after it exploded to create a controlled but devastating explosion that would render the members of the dark guild unable to so much as move a finger.

As Flynn said, we really did barbecue most of them as the aftermath of the explosion left almost all of them burnt to a crisp.

The smell of burnt flesh permeated the air and their completely charred bodies made it a very gruesome scene to look upon.
