YM778.TV Chapter 1028 Number Nine & Ten
Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sun blossom city, Circle’s Branch Headquarters
“Circle’s goon balls seem to have grown larger,” Agatha yelled as she spread her soul energy and incomplete divinity to negate the influence of the three semi-demigods from Circle. Thanks to her actions the 103 clones of the boy were able to escape without any hindrance.
“Now that’s a weird line to say,” Number Nine one of the Asong’s bodyguards said referring to what Agatha just said.
“…” Agatha did not seem to react to the semi-demigod guard’s remark instead she was frantically reaching out to the boy through her grimoire.
There was a good reason why Agatha would be so distracted in a confrontation, it was because she doubted that all three of the semi-demigods from the circle were Lich or at least one of them was. This was not her idea the boy had planted this doubt in her mind, and he also promised to help her deduce their identity with his unique Aura Sight. Now as the moment had arrived, the boy was not answering her calls or messages.
But soon considering the circumstance of the boy escaping she understood why the boy was not responding to her calls and texts. Right now the boy was escaping for his life under the cover of about 103 clones, if he were to suddenly summon his grimoire just to answer her then he would stand out from other clones making the cover of about 103 clones would be pointless.
Though Agatha understood the predicament of the boy, she wanted to avoid fighting a lich if possible. Agatha was pretty confident about her strength enough to challenge dragons and young supreme beings but a Lich was on a whole other level. Those undying monstrosities with near-infinite soul energy were like weeds, killing them was easier said than done. Knowing her capabilities Agatha would rather choose to retreat than fight a losing battle that could mark the end of her legend.
“Senior Sister Nine, I think she is ignoring you?” Number Ten tried sparking a flame between the two female semi-demigods of his and fan it at the same time.
“I think so too,” Number Nine agreed hearing her junior brother and adding, “Let us ignore her and complete our mission. You take one at the right corner, I will take the other two after we are done capturing all three of them we will return to report to Captain.”
“Yes, Senior Sister Nine,” Number Ten immediately agreed to his colleague’s arrangement. As much as he would love to watch a girl fight break out, the mission took priority.
“I would not do that if I were you,” Angtha said as she felt Asong’s guards activate their incomplete Divinity.
“Why not?” Number Ten immediately asked before his senior sister could take this chance to refute the allied semi-demigod because of the misunderstanding he had created.
“There is a possibility that either one or all three of them is a Lich,” Agatha did not try hiding her doubts even though she did not have any merits to prove her words.
“Lich!” Both Number Nine and Ten blurted in surprise. As part of an elite bodyguard force trained by the government, both of them were proud and confident about their capabilities. But to take on a single Lich made them doubtful let alone facing three Semi-demigod Lich.
“If so why did you rush over here? We could have just grabbed the boy and retreated by to Sky blossom city,” Number Nine could not help but wonder why Agatha rust to the front to confront the three semi-demigods from the circle if they were Lich.
“I don’t know, seeing the boy in danger I just reacted,” Agatha said, but the real reason she intervened, stopping three semi-demigods from capturing all 103 clones of the boy was that she, herself, did not know which one of the 103 clones was the real body of the boy. In such circumstances, she could only come forward before the enemy had captured the boy’s clones among which was his real body.
“Enough about that, how sure are you they or one of them is a Lich? We can ask for backup, considering the distance between the two cities rest of the team can be here in a few minutes,” Number Ten said, having decided to exterminate all three liches at any cost. As that was what he trained for, though it was a different story that the government had trained him to be a good bodyguard.
“About that, it is just my hunch,” Agatha replied shyly, hearing her Number Nine and Ten gave her a blank stare but Agatha soon added, “Don’t worry, if they are lich we have to force them to reveal they are true to form so that the southern emperor can make use of the protection array formation covering the southern region to capture them. If they are not liches, I don’t think either of you will have trouble capturing one of them.”
Hearing Agatha, Number Nine and Ten both nodded. As the same was true for their team. Their captain can’t just waltz in and capture three Semi-demigods just based on their doubts that their opponents were Liches. They would need concrete evidence for them to mobilize full force against the suspects fearing the political repercussions that this one small incident can stir up.
“Fine,” Number Nine and Ten agreed to Agatha’s plan but before they could move the semi-demigods from the circle broke free from the confinement that Agatha made using her incomplete divinity. Breaking free, the three enemy semi-demigods fanned out in three different directions chasing the boy’s clones.
While the allied semi-demigods were still planning their course of action, the enemy semi-demigods were clear about their motive. First, they made sure the number of enemy semi-demigods, calculated their battle prowess, and then moved their attention to the hoard of boy’s clones fleeing in various directions. It did not take them long to see through the B-rank clones and find three clones that could be the originals. Then they fanned out, each aiming for one of the three most likely clones that could be the original.
