Chapter 376: Playing the Bluff
’It’s as if I have unlocked hundred percent capacity of my mind.
If that’s how she is thinking from the start then there is no way, we are going to win against her.
When played with perfection every game ends up in a draw. There are one thousand and three hundred fifty-six different ways to kill her but there is no way to kill her without sacrificing Dusk, Kael or myself. I have calculated all of them several times and the results are same.
But... There is one chance that all of it can end in a draw-’ Before Leon could’ve thought of anything else. A screen popped up in front of him.
[Warning: Skill will be turned off now.]
The screen disappeared and Leon returned back to his original state.
The mongers attacked him once again and e killed them without wasting any time.
"Dusk... We are changing the plan. We will directly move towards that bitch." Leon ordered as he started killing the mongers even faster and started walking towards Mandara directly.
’The idea that I was thinking of using prior to this one was a big mistake and if I hadn’t copied her skill, Dusk could’ve been sacrificed easily.
"Y-Yes... Master." Dusk hesitated for a second as there were even more mongers that protected Mandara but he walked behind Leon without any hesitation.
"What the fuck is going on ? Why is master going towards her directly like that ?" Kael asked with a confused expression as he continued to kill the mongers.
"KRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..." Mandara immediately used her skill and figured out all the moves that Leon could do in order to kill her and without wasting another second, she commanded all the mongers around her to get ready to sacrifice themselves in order to save her.
"Not this time... Mist come out." Leon ordered as he continued to kill the mongers.
Suddenly the crystal of Ilirai that was lying down in one of corner of the room started glowing and excluding a white mist from it, that covered the whole room in just seconds.
The mist rose, took her human like form and looked at Leon, "Master. You called ?"
"Tell that bitch that if she wants to live... She better stop attacking us right this moment." Leon ordered with a serious expression.
"Understood... KRRRRR KRKRKRRRRRRRRRR KRRRRRRRRRRR..." The mist spoke as she looked at Mandara.
"KKRRRRRRRRR KRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ?" Mandara replied.
"She is asking why would she stop, when she is on the verge of breaking you all ?" The mist explained.
"The heads that her loyal soldiers have accumulated under her in order to re-attach them to their bodies have a very small magic enchanted bead in one of them, that can erase her whole existence in one second." Leon spoke with a serious expression.
"Yes... KRRRRR KRRR KRRRRRR KRRRRR KRKRKRRR KRRRRRRR KRR KRRRRRR..." The mist immediately conveyed the message to her.
Mandara immediately looked at Leon and as soon as their eyes met, a smirk appeared over Leon’s face.
<Bluff>
"KRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..." Mandara shouted loudly as all the mongers came to a halt immediately and stopped attacking.
The mongers standing near her feet started throwing away the heads immediately.
"Tell her to stop them or everything goes up into smoke." Leon spoke as he looked at the mist.
"KRRRR KRRRR KRR KR KRRRRRR KRRRRRRRRR." The mist immediately conveyed the message.
"KRRRRR..." Mandara spoke and the mongers who were throwing away the heads from near her legs stopped as well.
"KRRRRR KRRR KRR ?" Mandara spoke as she looked at Leon.
Leon turned to look at the mist.
"She is asking what if you are lying ?"
"Well I can just blast it... If that’s what she wants." Leon replied with a neutral expression.
The mist immediately conveyed the message.
"KRRR KRRR KRKRKR ?" Mandara spoke.
"She is asking why haven’t you done it yet then ? Because that’s your best option right now." The mist spoke.
"She said all that ?" Leon asked with a confused expression.
"Yes, master. Why would I lie to you ?"
"Well... Tell that I don’t want to fight her wild running brain-dead army of mongers." Leon replied with a straight face.
"KRRRR KRRR KRR KRKRKR KRRRRRR..." The mist spoke.
"KRRRRR KRRRRRR ?" Mandara replied as she pointed her fingers towards Leon.
"She is asking-" Before the mist could’ve completed her sentence, Leon interrupted her.
"What do I want ?" Leon asked as his smile grew wider.
"Yes." The mist replied.
"Tell her to let us get the fuck out of here unharmed and in return... She will get to live her pathetic life." Leon replied with a neutral expression.
"KRRRR KRRRRRRRR KRRRRR KRRKRKRKRKR..." The mist explained it and after having a back and forth conversation for the next ten minutes, Mandara finally nodded.
"What ?" Leon asked with a confused expression as he looked at the mist.
"She says that you can leave but have to leave the black one behind." Mist explained as she pointed towards dusk.
"Fuck it... I am going to explode this bitch. I will just fight the damn mongers." Leon spoke as he turned to look at Mandara with a serious expression and raised his hand.
"KRRRR KRRRRRRRRRRRRR KRRRRRRRR...." Mandara immediately raised her hand and pointed towards the exit.
Leon turned around and noticed that the mongers from the exit crack have all moved away, giving them the way out.
"She accepted..." The mist replied.
"Kael... Let’s get the fuck out of here." Leon ordered as he started walking towards the exit.
On his way, he picked up the crystal of Ilirai in one hand and the world root tree’s plant in other hand.
Kael grabbed his axes and immediately retreated back to the ground.
*THUD*
"I thought we were going to kill her, Master ?" Kael asked with a confused expression.
"Killing her will cost me one of you and I am not giving up anyone today." Leon replied with a serious expression.
All of them walked towards the exit and noticed that the mongers were standing all around them but none of them attacked him.
