Zivile narrowed her eyes at Maido but said nothing. Her tail twitched as she readied herself for a fight. Maido stood there waiting for her next move with a smile on his face.
The monster's sudden appearance startled Maido, but once he calmed down, he believed he could win if his net caught the snake monster. However, this was no ordinary monster. The snake monster flicked her tongue out at him with an eerie look.
Maido realized the monster had seduction magic. The members of the security team who were weaker than him dropped their weapons as if Hector had come and ordered them to surrender.
Luckily for Maido because he was not affected by the seduction magic. His guess appeared to be correct. The snake monster's magic only affected those weaker than her.
"Watch your step because I'm fast!"
Maido screamed as he jumped up and threw the net at Zivile. His body moved faster than expected due to his agility stat, allowing him to dodge the attacks from Zivile.
"Is this what you mean fast? It's nothing to me!" Zivile mocked as she gripped the net tightly, preventing it from catching her.
She landed on the ground, and her tail slithered immediately to strangle Maido. Unfortunately, her opponent still had time to jump back to avoid the attack.
The snake monster proved to be faster than Maido had expected. He pulled the net with such force that Zivile had to let it go.
If he attacked again, he did not know if he would be too slow to dodge Zivile's counterattack. In any case, he needed to get things over with as soon as possible. He easily avoided Zivile's tail and rebutted with his net.
For the umpteenth time, Zivile managed to avoid the net. This time she flew toward Maido. She stuck out her tongue, intending to wrap around her opponent's neck.
However, Maido suddenly took out a dagger and slashed it at Zivile's tongue. As the snake monster screamed in pain, he said, "You can't beat me that easily!"
Zivile growled because her tongue regenerated slowly when outside the dungeon. It took one hour to recover from minor injuries and three hours for severe injuries. She did not expect Maido still could use other weapons.
The magic net that the man used was extremely strong and heavy. Even powerful hunters had to use both hands to control it.
"My dagger is made with a special material. It's light and only deals little damage. Do you feel at ease now?" Maido spoke as he put his dagger back.
He tried to close the distance between himself and Zivile, but the snake monster always avoided him. Their speeds were evenly matched, which meant they would not be able to beat each other with just their speeds alone. Even with a net, he could not catch her.
"Okay, I guess I'll use this," Maido muttered under his breath. This time's attack could not fail since this was magic in the net that would only activate twice during its use.
Meanwhile, Zivile had a bad feeling when she noticed Maido doing nothing. She stopped attacking to save her stamina because she did not know what the man was going to do.
"Call Lightning!" Maido shouted as he threw his net at Zivile. The net grew larger and let out a burst of light as it stretched out.
Zivile dodged the attack by flying into the air. Then, she used her tail to keep the net from catching her. She winced as she felt her tail burn.
"Ugh, damn it!"
She cursed while flying higher. If she was within range of the net, then she might be caught at any time. Moreover, the net's attack range was wider than before.
Maido, on the other hand, launched his net to follow Zivile's movements. The net could extend indefinitely when in 'Lightning' mode.
Before long, Maido was surrounded by a sea of light. The snake monster kept attacking him, but Maido managed to dodge all of her attacks.
Finally, Zivile was getting tired because the net could chase her no matter how far she escape. On the other hand, Maido had nothing to lose since all he had to do was move the net. It was a type of magic weapon that did not drain magic energy.
Maido breathed a sigh of relief when he realized Zivile was getting tired and losing her focus. But then he remembered the snake monster was still going strong. He decided to use his prediction skill. That way, he could figure out the monster's next move.
"Use minimum skills," Maido said while closing his eyes. He could still find the system screen in the darkness he saw.
[You have used the minimum skill on <Kiss of Death Members>]
[The prediction time you will receive is: random, about fifteen minutes to one day ahead]
[System is shuffling predictions!]
[...]
[Done! You can see one day ahead!]
The darkness that Maido saw immediately disappeared. When he used his power, he was directly in the room with the television showing what would happen in the future.
He would not notice time passing and the television show seemed to end in a flash. After knowing what would happen, he opened his eyes.
Zivile was still trying to avoid the net when Maido suddenly charged toward her. She was currently on the ground because flying drained her stamina. It seemed that Maido took advantage of this to beat her.
Her situation was not good because Maido and the net were both targeting her. To defeat them, she needed to beat the man first.
She flew and swung her tail, trying to grab Maido's body. However, she could not catch him. The man was moving so fast that she was already out of her range even though her attacks were faster than before.
"Why don't you call your leader to come to help you? You are no match for me," Maido spoke while dodging all of Zivile's attacks.
The snake monster hissed. "You have to beat me before you say that."
"I said that because I knew I would win. You seem to be weaker if you are outside the dungeon."
Through his prediction skill, Maido knew that the snake monster would weaken after releasing too much energy. However, he did not see the new leader coming to help Zivile or the rest of the members' organization.
Maido did not know what the leader was planning. For now, he had to focus on Zivile since he already knew her moves. He kept attacking until he saw the snake monster gasping for air.
"You can't run anymore this time!" shouted Maido, suddenly jumping and throwing his net. "Call Lightning!"
The net let out a light before it stunned Zivile as its reach became very wide. She could not avoid it because the net almost covered the entire yard.
The snake monster flew quickly to get away from the net's reach, but Maido pulled the net first. She then backed up and fell onto her butt.
"You...! Let me go!" Zivile screamed as she realized she could not get out of the net.
Maido got up and looked at the snake monster with a sweet smile. "Don't worry. I treat all my pets very well~"
At the same time, the main members had defeated the security team. They evaded Maido's net in time, so they did not get caught like Zivile.
"Huh? I thought he was weak because Flint managed to bring him here." Emilien spoke while frowning in confusion. He decided to go with Radmilo's plan after much deliberation. However, he did not know if Maido exceeded his expectations.
It was natural because most people in the IRO were unaware of it as well. Maido looked weak because he always obeyed the organization. Also, only a few people knew that Hector trained Maido in private.
"I'm surprised, too," Flint responded after a few moments of silence. "He did fight back when I hit him with a chair. However, his strength was not as great as we see now. He deliberately hid his strength."
Meanwhile, Muramasa immediately clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. "Stop talking! We have to finish him right now!" he spoke, ready to release his curse.
Seeing that, the others also prepared to use their powers to have a second fight. When they were about to attack Maido, small magic explosions occurred, indicating that someone used teleportation items.
They immediately stopped their attacks when they saw Hector show up along with Emrick and the crying Lynette. The security team from Unit B also stood behind the three people.
There was an eerie silence because of the arrival of unexpected people. The rain came down suddenly in the middle of the silence. Several people from the security team who had died instantly came back to life.
"Damn it. She's too overpowered. Please nerf her," Chester muttered when he witnessed how great Lynette's power was.
The others were also stunned when they saw that power even though they often heard about it.
