Reclaiming the Demon’s Curse - Chapter 142

The sudden appearance of an Attack Helicopter dumbfounded Cyril as well.

He didn’t think they would be able to respond this fast!

After all, only 20 to 25 minutes had passed when the ASTF surrounded the whole building! The helicopter carries not only a machine gun but several missiles as well!

Even with his S-Rank Aura, there’s no way he would survive such an attack! He doesn’t even have an Artifact that compliments his Rank after all!

“Crap… This is not within my calculation. We have to retreat now, Magenta…” Cyril shouted and at the same time, his Giant Wraith Sword also crumbled into pieces. It could no longer take any more S-Rank Aura coming from him.

Brrrt!

As soon as the Attack Helicopter appeared, the ASTF on the ground including the members of the Teutonic Knight guild dispersed as quickly as possible.

“Tsk!”

Cyril jumped away from the line of fire as he moved closer to the building. In truth, he could’ve defeated most of them a while ago if he used his Aura to attack instead of defending against their bullets and other magic spells.

If he did that, he may be extremely exhausted in the end but still, he wouldn’t be cornered like this.

Smoke Ring…

Cyril put his attention to this simple Artifact that he received. It only has a single ability and it is to create a smokescreen.

‘Master… Should I fly and destroy that flying thing? Defending against that is a bad idea. We either have to dodge or attack that thing.’ Magenta appeared beside Cyril as she can’t defend against that 40mm rounds.

Perhaps catching a few of them would be possible if she exhausted her dark energy, but it wouldn’t be worth it at all.

“I understand… We’ll escape after I use this smokescreen. I gathered enough data already.”

“Good.”

After the Apache Helicopter finished firing, the ASTF quickly moved closer to see Cyril and Magenta’s situation. They already noticed that Cyril’s S-Rank Aura has completely disappeared, he either exhausted his Aura or died from that rain of bullets.

“Hey, Jacques… You destroyed my property! I need some compensation from this!”

Old Huan complained. A while ago when the mysterious figure released his S-Rank Aura, he thought that it would be the end of his guild if the man focused on attacking everyone here.

No one could defend against an explosive force from an Aura of that level after all. Luckily, the man didn’t seem to know how to use his Aura to attack. Instead, he focused on pouring his Aura into his sword which not only destroyed his own weapon but also allowed them to gain some distance from him.

“Ugh… Let’s talk about that later, Old Huan. As long as we catch that man, everything will be worth it.”

Jacques answered as he signaled his men to get closer. Right now, the smoke and dust from the rain of bullets started clearing up. They can still sense the presence of the two but they don’t seem to be planning to attack.

They were either heavily injured or laying a trap for them.

“Be careful, those two are probably S-Rank Newbies… However, an S-Rank is still an S-Rank, we can’t give them chances.”

Seeing that his men are ready to pounce on the enemies, he activated his Chain Whip’s ability.

Soon, the area where the two criminals are staying was surrounding his metal chain… Though this is only a Peak Rank-B Artifact, it can still trap a weakened S-Rank.

However, as they are about to execute their plan to capture the two, the smokescreen that they used a while ago appeared again.

This time, the scale was several times larger. It was also thicker than the previous smoke created.

“What? You’re still thinking of escaping from here? Dream on!”

The chain whip he’s currently controlling started shrinking. It was about to capture the two criminals when suddenly, he realized that the two just disappeared. He could no longer sense them!

Whoosh~

Old Huan did his best to quickly dissipate the smokescreen. However, it was too late.

What they can only see is the backyard that was filled with bullet holes. The two criminals are nowhere to be seen…

“Ugh… Someone must’ve seen them going out… Ray bring five men and investigate!”

“Yes, Sir!”

Jacques doesn’t think that Ray’s team would be able to find the two. At most, he wanted to find some clues they left behind while running. It would also be better if there are other witnesses. If possible he would like to coordinate with the local authorities.

“Too bad they still escaped even with air support. However, meeting an S-Rank Awakened is still a huge discovery. I should make a report as quickly as possible.” Jacques knows the severity of this case.

For an S-Rank Awakened to exist in this small city and commit crimes, this is indeed something that they have to carefully look into. After all, if that S-Rank isn’t from this country, it is highly possible that they are spying in this country without their knowledge!

Their intelligence division must work overtime to find out their real identity!

In the meantime, Cyril already removed his Identity Shroud mask returning it to his Dimensional Storage Space. As for the demoness behind him, she similarly transformed back to her black cat form and followed her master to the train station.

In a short while, the security around this city would surely increase. Though they won’t be able to find anything that would link him to the incident, it is still better to leave this place as quickly as possible.

“Haa~ That was tiring… That Attack Helicopter is really scary. I wonder how did the vampires destroy those beast-like machines.” Cyril mused as soon as he arrived at the train station. He recalled the Vampire Outbreak that would be coming in the next few years.

Anyway, because of the commotion a while ago, there’s a lot of people trying to leave the city so it’s quite crowded right now.

He checked his mobile phone to see how much this has blown up and sure enough, all his news feed is about the incident here in Whitemore City!

The video of an Apache Helicopter even showed up as it fired towards a certain direction!

Everyone in the comment section had a heated discussion they they were asking for an explanation!
