Chapter 612 - The Clash In The Quiet Night
"Ahahaha, they deserve it!" Sylvia laughed with a smug expression. She had just pranked a bunch of lewd flirty guys.
"Hmm, they fell into a deep water hole and ended up calling the fire department for help. I hope they're okay." Elysia shook her head with a helpless expression.
In this case and the last three groups, she couldn't blame anyone at all. Those men with suspicious intentions harmed themselves by falling into Sylvia's traps.
No one was seriously injured, and in truth, Sylvia hadn't done anything to harm anyone other than leaving some traps behind and letting those suspicious men fall.
"Hmph, they're inviting disaster to themselves. But, they're too stupid and not fun at all. Those self-proclaimed justice enforcers are also a disappointment. I haven't toyed with them, and they've already fallen. I haven't even used my nutcracker move or the banana smash to the offenders, hmph. Anyway, what do you think, Ely?" Elysia folded her arms proudly with a big smile on her face.
"Sylvi... I can't support this delinquent and mischief. You should be aware that we will indirectly invite trouble just because of our appearance, and this is already night. We can't just punish everyone, right? You've pranked more than thirty people, and that seems to be enough. Let's go back to the hotel, okay?" Elysia stroked Sylvia's head and spoke in soft words.
"Uhm, all right..." Sylvia could only nod obediently. She probably couldn't say no every time Elysia looked at her with a tender gaze and spoke in such a gentle tone.
Elysia then turned around. However, she was immediately taken aback because she didn't realize that they seemed to have gone too far. It was probably a suburban area, and she had absolutely no idea where they were. The tall buildings couldn't even be seen from there.
"Where are we now? Do you know the way back, Sylvi, Vann?" Elysia scratched her head in confusion.
Vanessa shook her head, but Sylvia puffed out her chest. The devil girl gave a wink and a thumbs up. "Leave it to me. I remember where we need to go."
With that being said, Sylvia led the way, and Elysia followed without the slightest hesitation. Unfortunately, after thirty minutes of walking, Sylvia's smile slowly faded, and it turned to restlessness.
"Are we lost again?" Elysia smiled helplessly. It seemed they just strayed further from the downtown area.
"Un, I'm embarrassed to say it, but we did get lost, Ely... Why do all the roads and places here look alike? Please forgive me for being unreliable." Sylvia wore a pitiful expression while holding Elysia's hand.
"We'll be fine since we still have the online map here~" Elysia took out her smartphone with a compassionate smile.
"Ooh~" Sylvia clapped her hands.
Elysia unlocked her smartphone and immediately felt weak because the signal was lost for unknown reasons. She couldn't see a map and couldn't even order a taxi online to pick them up.
'It's not broken, is it? Why does the signal disappear when we need this? Umm, Rhea, master... Do you perhaps know your way back? We can't ask directions here because it's strangely quiet here.' Elysia asked in her mind, and it was conveyed to the two reliable saviors in her Soul Realm.
'Of course, I still memorized it very well. However, we need to fly high first to determine the path to take because I only know we've gone in a northwesterly direction.' Elena responded instantly.
'Flying, hmm... How about you, Rhea?' Elysia thought it would be great if they didn't fly to get out of this trouble.
'Please forgive me. I'm afraid to make the same mistake as Sylvia. The roads here look similar and I hesitate to determine the direction. It seems, Master Elena's breakfast is the only thing to do if your smartphone is unreliable, Master Elysia.' Rhea immediately apologized as she wasn't so sure either.
*Swoosh!*
A gust and hot air came from nowhere. A burst of fire might have occurred somewhere. Still, the blue light coming from behind the trees really caught Elysia and everyone's attention.
"Hey, maybe someone is playing with giant fire over there? The hot air can get here. Do you want to check it, Ely?" Sylvia pointed at the trees.
"Mm, let's check that out." Elysia felt it was good to check the situation before the great fire broke out.
Behind the trees, there was an empty field that may be used for children to play. However, two dozen people ganged up on a man in school uniform. On a bench was a girl tied up and gagged, much like she was about to be kidnapped. Two men in leather jackets stood on either side as if guarding her.
"Ooh~, Psst, Ely, maybe this is how the power holders on Earth fight? It seems like a drama has taken place here. That human boy is angry because his girlfriend was kidnapped by a group of savage thugs. He's just trying to save his girl with all his might. " Sylvia whispered while covering her mouth. His gaze was still fixed on watching the direction ahead.
"Those thugs are ordinary people, and that schoolboy is a blue firebending esper." Elysia checked the status screens of everyone in the field.
"So, are we going to help that schoolboy? But, I suggest watching the situation first. We could be helping the wrong side because they might be involved in a grudge or something." Sylvia suggested.
"But, that schoolboy seems to be the one on the good side. Look at the girl over there. SHe might be his friend or his grilfriend. He's just trying to save her from a bunch of thugs, right?" Elysia couldn't understand Sylvia's line of thinking right now.
"It's not always what seems right is the one worth defending, Ely. Let's take a look at the situation first, and let's intervene when we're sure. Do you know what they are talking about? Otherwise, it's a bit difficult for us to determine who's wrong and who's right." Sylvia grabbed Elysia's arm and shook her head a little.
"..." Elysia couldn't say anything because she didn't really understand what the group of people were saying. The language barrier was quite troublesome.
Because of that, they just hid behind the bushes and trees while watching from the side. They couldn't just interfere in the fight without cause and reason, after all.
Meanwhile, the schoolboy took a few steps back. He was even forced to launch his superpower attack.
"Yare, yare... I already said that I absolutely don't want to get involved and you can do anything to that girl. I just happened to be passing by and you guys really forced me to do this. You forced me to use my superpower. Don't blame me if this is your last night on Earth." The schoolboy smiled in disdain as he held his head.
"Gahaha! Bullshit from a fire salamander. Your flames can't hurt us. The one we need to get rid of is you because you messed up our boss's plans. Is she your girlfriend? I know you've been pretty close with her lately. Uu, look at her adorable face. What if she was ganged up by a dozen men in front of you and you can't do anything but watch? That must be fun, gahaha!" The chubby punk man grabbed the helpless girl's head and gave a slap to her cheek.
"Oho? That's new to me. Did the one you mean was that fatty boss with burns? Well, he took what was supposed to be mine after all." The schoolboy shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
"You little shit, not only did you disrupt our boss's plans, you also destroyed five warehouses and stole a valuable treasure. Not to mention, you dared to stab our boss in the face. Death penalty! You won't be able to leave here alive!" The fierce-looking thug shouted in rage.
At the same time, he and his comrades pulled out their guns. Their target was the schoolboy.
"You all forced me to do this." The schoolboy immediately took quick action.
*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*
Several bullets were fired at the schoolboy, but he dodged it while running towards the first target.
He gripped his enemy's face. An enormous blue flame instantly exploded right into his opponent's face.
*Boom!*
"Argh!" The burnt man could only scream as his entire body turned to ashes.
The schoolboy immediately moved to burn the other thugs with almost no delay. He burned almost everyone in less than a minute without suffering any injuries.
Only two thugs and a girl kneeling on the ground remained. Blue flames burned one-eighth of the field, and the schoolboy walked leisurely amidst the fire towards the remaining three people. He had a faint smile on his face, very much like a fire demon. "Only you guys are left, eh?"
The two thugs pressed the trigger of their pistols, but there were no more bullets left. Their survival instincts instantly kicked in, and they immediately fled to save their lives.
However, the schoolboy did not give any mercy. He threw two blue fireballs to burn the two people to ashes. Only screams amidst the flames could be heard.
"Hm~ So, there must be no survivors after seeing my blue fire. I need to take care of that fatty boss tomorrow, hmm." The schoolboy walked over to the girl with a cold gaze.
He put his hand to her face with a scornful expression. "I told you, never try to approach me ever again. You're only bringing me nothing but trouble. And, look at this? My patience is running out. Goodbye, classmate. Hopefully, you won't like to meddle in other people's business in afterlife."
"!!!" The girl widened her eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
