Chapter 213 Control



“I don’t know,” Hiro replied briefly.

After she looked at Hiro and his party members, the woman lowered her face again to stare at the musical instrument in front of her and strummed its thick strings again.

Dong Ding Dong!

Hiro, Noah, and Jacob looked at each other questioningly. They didn’t know what to do. The music was pleasant enough to their ears, and they didn’t get any weird effects from hearing it. Even Hiro, who thought that the music might make him sleepy, was wrong.

Because they were too focused on the woman and the musical instrument she was playing, the three of them forgot to check Liberty and Cara who were already standing up straight. Both of their eyes had turned completely black.

“What should we do now, Hiro?” Noah asked while looking to the side, to see Hiro who was still watching the woman.

Noah was the first to notice the change in pressure behind his back. He looked back to check where the pressure was coming from.

Bang!

[Fatal Damage]

Noah quickly pushed Hiro’s body to the side when he realized that the Hellsing Whisper’s gun had been aimed at the back of the man’s head, making Noah the one who was shot right in the left shoulder.

“What happened?”

Liberty still raised her gun again, aiming at Hiro with an upright position and her legs slightly apart like a skilled shooter.

Meanwhile, Cara had disappeared from her place, leaving a black shadow bouncing in a zigzag on the walls of the room. She was preparing to attack one of them.

“Damn… they’re under control,”

Clank!

Hiro managed to throw a silver bullet aimed at him. Liberty seemed to have marked him as an enemy. And Hiro had to face her even if he didn’t want to.

“Are you all right, Noah?” Jacob was already moving in circles, circling Noah as he continued to stare at the black shadow that kept bouncing off the wall. He was sure that Cara would attack the mage.

“I’ve treated my wound. At least it’s easier because I’m not a bloodline demon,” Noah explained while tearing the sleeves of his robes to tie his shoulder, stopping the bleeding before the healing spell finished.

“What should we do now, Hiro?” Jacob asked, not knowing what to do. He also objected if he had to fight Cara or Liberty.

“Catch them first!”

Hiro dashed towards Liberty to catch her with his bare hands, but Liberty was much more agile and quick than normal. Her speed was even on par with Cara whose agility was undoubtedly superior.

Liberty rolled back three times to avoid Hiro’s hands who was trying to catch her. When she managed to dodge, the girl’s gun shot up again and fired three silver bullets at Hiro at once.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jacob threw his shield that changed shape like a chakram, and it was thrown like a boomerang. The shield managed to stop the three silver bullets before returning to Jacob’s hands.

[Fire Seal]

Noah created a circle of fire that appeared and blazed around Liberty’s feet, locking the girl in her place so that his mission of capturing the girl was accomplished. However, even though she couldn’t go anywhere, the girl’s hands were still able to use her weapon freely.

Bang! Bang!

The target was still unchanged. Hiro was still the girl’s target as if the others were invisible in her eyes.

Clash! Clank!

Hiro managed to fend off two silver bullets, but one managed to scratch the back of his hand while he was swinging the sword. Even if it was just a scratch, because the silver bullet had an innate holy attribute, Hiro’s hand immediately smoked and burned.

“Hshhhh…” Hiro backed away. He couldn’t stop Liberty without hurting the girl a bit. And it was also impossible to let the girl keep attacking him while he was looking for a way to break them free from the control of the monster.

At the same time, while Hiro was raising his sword with one hand, suddenly a black shadow shot past him, then a dagger swiftly slashed his hand with an unavoidable long slash.

“Aghhh!”

Hiro dropped his sword on the floor, holding back the pain. Both of his hands couldn’t be used due to the injuries he had just received.

“What? Why did she attack Hiro too?” Jacob and Noah immediately stood closer to Hiro and put their backs together to protect each other. Their guess was wrong and made Hiro only get another wound.

The worse thing was Hiro couldn’t access his inventory to take potions and increase his HP.

[Black Rose Venom has been detected]

[You will not be able to consume any potions and buff for 5 minutes]

That was the effect of Cara’s dagger.

“Hiro, we have to do something.” Jacob felt sorry for Hiro’s condition.

Meanwhile, Noah didn’t stay still. He kept trying to use the fire seal to catch Cara who didn’t show herself at all, as if she had been fully transformed into a shadow right now.

Catching something that moved much faster than his casting time made Noah just wasting his mana and energy. All his effort was in vain.

“Stop it, I’ll get her. And for you two, don’t let Liberty attack me.” Hiro raised his sword again with his right hand in a bit of difficulty. Meanwhile, his right hand had stopped functioning due to the burn effect.

However, he still had another weapon in his left hand, which he would use to stop Cara and pull the girl out of her own shadow.

Whoosh!

Hiro sped up and used [Void Phantom] to hide his whereabouts. He then chased after Cara who kept bouncing on the walls and floor at full speed. In terms of speed, Hiro was still superior.

Grab!

Hiro could feel Cara’s boots and tug on them before throwing them in the opposite direction with all his might.

、ᴄᴏm Bang!

Cara was successfully pulled out of her shadow, and she hit another wall of the triangular room. Even so, she immediately got up and shot at Hiro from the front.

Hiro aimed his Demon’s claws at Cara, but Cara was able to bend her body backwards almost in a circle with her agile body. And she managed to escape from Hiro’s grasp.

As Cara darted around while bending her body, her movements slowed down, and Noah made good use of that.

[Fire Seal]

The two girls were finally trapped in Noah’s [fire seal].

However, it was the same as Liberty. Cara could still attack by throwing her stock of weapons. One of them was a shuriken that managed to penetrate Noah’s chest before the man realized the attack was coming to him.

Splat!

[Fatal damage]

When the firebender was dying, the fire that was restraining the two girls automatically weakened, and the two of them shot out in unison.

“Noah, are you okay?” Jacob immediately caught the fallen Noah while pulling the shuriken that pierced the man’s chest.

“That bitch, I will never forget this, even if she’s awake later,” Noah said furiously, then he used the HP boosting potion right away.

Meanwhile, the two girls fully ignored Noah and Jacob. They walked over to Hiro until Hiro was pinned against the wall in the room.

Why did it look like they were only after Hiro until this second?
