"Not good. They have got the information. We have to head there right now! Chase them!"
"!!!" The rest of the team was startled, but if their opponents were the first ones to reach the target, their efforts would be a waste.
Jay and the others tried to chase after them, but the people behind Stefany suddenly came in their way, stopping them.
There were a lot of Tier 6s, so it would be troublesome even for Jay.
However, both Jay and Erwin glared at them as they said the same thing. "Move!"
A few guys reached for their shoulders and arms to stop them, but Jay and Erwin pushed them back and began to overpower them.
Their actions had caused a commotion in the association. The only one who saw this was probably Melody.
Melody shouted, "Stop it! Donât forget about those rules. And make sure to extend it not just to our opponents, but also to the civilians!"
"!!!" Jay and Erwin abruptly stopped.
Stefany was confused. Although she had snatched the mission, she didnât know anything about the rules.
However, Kanaria and Vina seemed to have regained their composure. Vina smirked and said, "Oh. Weâre lucky. They are using more members than allowed. That means disqualified."
"Jay, do it according to the rules." Kanaria grinned.
"..." Stefany panicked. What are those rules?
More members? Did they use more people? When she turned to them, there were only eight people, including Vina. So, did they really use too many members?
âHow many members are allowed? I donât think theyâre using it to the limit, but it shouldnât be as many as my helpers? Knowing the Dark Supreme... Donât tell me? Ten people is the limit?
âThey also mentioned something about extending the approach to the civilians. Does that mean we canât do anything to hurt the interests of the civilians or maybe make a mess?
âLooking at how docile those two brutes suddenly became...â Stefany didnât know what the rules were , so she had no choice but to guess them.
But that little distraction had allowed Jay and Erwin to slip past them.
"Go!" Melody shouted.
"Tsk!" Stefany gritted her teeth and shouted, "Seven of you! Go! The rest donât do anything!"
Stefany predicted that the limit was ten people. So, she adjusted her strategy accordingly, not knowing there were twenty people.
Christina and Ragna abruptly stood in their way. Christina playfully winked, saying, "No one should step out, OK?"
Lucifania, Kanaria, and Melody were staring at them as if locking their positions. They truly couldnât make a mess here, thinking Stefany would be disqualified if they broke the rules.
The rule had specifically mentioned that no killing was allowed. Normally, the rule would be something about killing another group, but this condition actually covered everything, including civilians.
That was why Melody warned them, "Donât fight unless necessary. Do it in a place away from people. Donât forget about the rules."
Jay and Erwin nodded after hearing the instruction.
Jay increased the output of his foot and jumped into the sky while Erwin launched himself by using his thread.
They jumped from one roof after another, catching up to the two men in front of them.
"You need to have a good brain if you want to be the leader, Stefany." Vina smirked.
"As if you are the one figuring out the mission." Stefany snorted. "Well, if youâre talking about brains, I do have a good brain. All of you, stand down now. You are now not participating in this mission. Tell our Tier 7 humans not to make any moves yet.
"Young Master Eid, Young Master Nart. Please make your move. As long as you donât do anything excessive to them or the civilians, everything seems to be allowed. Just stop them for the time being."
"!!!" Vina widened her eyes, realizing what she was doing. That was right. There was a limit on the maximum number of people allowed to be in a group. There was no rule stating that they couldnât change their people.
They were trapped. Vina panicked. "We have to go now!"
As predicted, two men suddenly emerged onto the rooftop and leaped toward Jay and Erwin.
"Who?" Erwin widened his eyes as he waved his hands forward. A man in his mid-twenties struck Erwin before he managed to put up a proper block. Although it didnât slash him, Erwin would be blown away at this point. If this person continued to block him, there was no way to chase after the two people who carried out the mission for Stefany.
At the same time, Jay waved his blade as his opponent did the same. His opponent was so fast that he passed Jay without Jay realizing it.
A cut on his shoulder opened up as blood poured out of it.
"Look at this! Looks like this is my victory." Stefany grinned, showing the camera that the two young men brought.
Vina clenched her hands into fists. "We have to go!"
After seeing them, Christina simply smiled and took her seat. "Donât just stand there. Letâs sit down."
"Christina!" Vina panicked, thinking Christina had already given up.
"Chill, Vina. Have you forgotten who they are?" Kanaria sighed, understanding Christinaâs actions. There was no need for them to catch up anymore.
"Both of them are the disciples of the Three Swords!" Vina shouted.
"Iâm not asking about them. Iâm asking about Jay and Erwin. They are... Clovisâ right and left hands, you know?" Kanaria smirked. "Besides, our arrow has arrived."
"!!!" Stefanyâs smile disappeared in an instant.
Before Erwin got blown away, Erwin actually wrapped the guyâs arm in his thread, dragging his opponent with him.
On the other hand, Jayâs opponent abruptly turned around as Jay had already appeared before him. It was as if there were no surprises on his face. The wound was something he ignored.
In Jayâs eyes, there was only one thing. Defeat that person. As a result, both disciples were locked by Erwin and Jay in battles.
As Kanaria said, the arrow had arrived... the Libation Fiestaâs invisible arrow.
Aileen struck both Tier 6 humans who were in charge of the mission and knocked them to the ground.
That was right. The Libation Fiesta had nine people without counting Reolf, but from the very beginning, Stefany only saw eight people. It was supposed to be nine people if she included Vina.
In other words, from the very beginning, Aileen had erased her presence and chased after their opponents.
