Hector decided not to believe Leroy right away. He continued walking down the hallway where the security alarm had sounded due to Radmilo's arrival. All of the bodyguards present had been killed.
Slash marks on the bodyguards' bodies indicated that the masked man killed them with a sword.
"I know someone named Flint in Kiss of Death has camouflage power," Hector spoke again through his magic earpiece. "But who knows if he's camouflaged to be the leader of Unit B?"
"No way. I'm the real leader," Leroy replied, trying not to sound irritated.
"Well, I won't believe you if there's no evidence. Your words can't convince me. I'll be outside in a minute."
Their conversation ended there, and Leroy gritted his teeth in annoyance. He was sure that the masked man was not the real one. However, Hector was different from the type to take someone at their word.
Leroy was worried because he could not make Hector stay in the conference center. He had an uneasy feeling about this.
"What's wrong, leader?" The archer team inquired, having noticed Leroy's worried expression.
"You must have heard my conversation with Sir Hector earlier. Please tell the other team to stay alert," Leroy replied, dropping his gaze to the fake Radmilo.
Meanwhile, Hector arrived outside the building with the remaining security team after the sudden attack from the undead army. He paid attention to Radmilo first before finally approaching the masked man.
Hector wanted to prove Leroy's words, so he immediately used his ice sword to stab Radmilo in the back. The masked man was still able to dodge without turning his head.
"I don't know the heroic Hector is a coward who dared attack from behind," Radmilo said after taking some distance from Hector. He stared at the arrows that had become frozen and were now falling.
Hector's ice sword proved to be no ordinary weapon. He had to take care not to become like the arrows.
"Why do people at Kiss of Death like to call me a coward?" Hector laughed softly. "I'm not a coward. You turned your back on me when I wanted to attack. It was your fault. You should watch your back."
Radmilo looked at Hector with much consideration. No. He was not Radmilo. He was Flint camouflaged as Radmilo, just as Leroy already anticipated.
Before Zivile was caught by Maido, she had made the main members gather for a discussion. The woman conveyed Radmilo's message in great detail.
Zivile explained how Flint should act and gave him a blood-filled bottle. She told him to teleport to the conference building at 11 am when Radmilo would also come.
In short, they appeared together in the conference building. They immediately finished the bodyguards in the hallway. It was when Flint drank a bottle of blood given by Zivile and transformed into Radmilo.
On the other hand, the man disappeared while Flint was still using his power. Radmilo completely vanished from the world, not becoming as invisible as Dianella. Because of that, he could do nothing as long as Flint was still camouflaging.
Flint was grateful because his physique and Radmilo were almost the same. That allowed him to move fast because he adapted quickly.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I thought you were going to give me backlash," Hector spoke, snapping Flint from his reverie.
Flint smiled crookedly. "My job is not to attack you. I'm done with mine."
After that, he spat to deactivate his power. He transformed into himself instantly and caused the security team behind Hector to gasp in surprise.
Hector, unlike the security team, showed no change in expression. He did not expect Leroy's words to come true. However, he had anticipated that the masked man was Flint.
As a result, Hector wasted no time darting toward Flint. His movement was so fast. The security team only blinked once, and Hector disappeared from sight.
"Are you sure you want to fight me?" Flint asked while blocking Hector's attack with the flaming blade. It was the sword that Radmilo had given him.
The man said the flame sword could hold Hector's ice blade. It turned out that what he said was true. Even Flint could not help but be surprised to learn he could withstand Hector's attack.
"I can take down a rat like you in an instant," Hector replied as he slashed his ice blade from another direction.
Flint grinned when he heard screams from the conference building. He ducked to avoid the attack, then said, "It also took a minute for my leader to defeat the rat at the IRO. If you only focus on me, your organization will lose many members."
The mocking tone infuriated Hector. However, he could not lose his composure because of Flint's words.
'Beep! The masked man attacked many people here!'
Renate's voice reached Hector's magic earpiece. After thinking for a while, he chose to return to the conference building. He could not focus on one person when many people in the IRO were about to die. For now, he had to save the people in the conference building.
Meanwhile, Leroy did not know whether to feel relieved or annoyed that his suspicions had been proven valid. He forgot about that and ordered the archers to fire on Flint.
They had to prevent the man from using the teleportation item. Another security team tried to catch Flint, who was running from the arrows. A white flash of light appeared at that moment. They gripped their weapons tightly when they saw Elena appear with Chester.
"How come the IRO security team only uses magic guns?" Chester asked, yawning briefly to mock the security team. "Ah, I forgot that most of them aren't awakeners. I feel sorry for the IRO because they have to pay useless people."
After Chester finished speaking, the magical bullet shot straight out of the gun's muzzle. The security team was not swayed by his taunts and remained focused on their job. However, their shots were outpaced by their opponent's movements.
Chester ducked sideways as the security team fired. Meanwhile, Elena remained standing, knowing that Flint would slash the magic bullet with the flame sword.
"Phew!"
Someone in the first row fell when that sound was heard, and Chester blew up his body. The security team also changed its strategy. They split up to get away from Chester.
Hector had told them Chester could not blow someone away from him. There was no specific distance as Hector needed more information. However, he made five meters a safe distance from Chester's power.
"Tch, the spy must have told them about my power," Chester sighed when he realized he could not explode anyone.
They would back away whenever he approached the security team to keep their distance from him. He could not reach them because the magic bullets became a burden as he ran. Chester had to run carefully because he realized the magic bullets differed from the arrows.
The IRO did not provide special arrows for the archer team to reduce costs. Crafting powerful magic weapons cost a lot of money. If the public found out, they would be angry because they want the IRO to use the funds to protect citizens.
For this reason, the IRO only cast magic on the shooting team. There were cursed bullets made by Daryl Green among the poisoned bullets.
No matter how strong he was, Chester would die if hit by the cursed bullet. That was what made him cautious when approaching the security team.
Meanwhile, Flint slashed all the bullets to protect Elena. "You have to use your power properly because I tried my best to block their attacks."
Elena did not answer. She focused on the security team in front of her. Moments later, the magic gun disappeared from their hands because of her teleportation power.
"Nice job, honey!" Chester exclaimed, ignoring the harsh words Elena threw at him. He ran toward the security team, who had lost their weapons.
The security team was sweating nervously as they grabbed their spare guns. Unfortunately, Chester had arrived before they could use the magic guns.
"Phew! Phew! Phew!"
Chester did not explode everyone in his presence but left one person on the security team. "Where are you from?"
"M-me? I'm from Greece," the bodyguard answered nervously and confusedly. He was pretty shocked because he had witnessed his friends' heads explode. Even their blood spurted onto his clothes.
"If you can answer my question, then I will let you go," Chester confused the bodyguard with his words even more. "You know Medusa, right?"
"Y-yeah, I know. She was a woman with snake hair in Greek mythology."
"Did Medusa have snakes for pubes?"
"I-I'm not sure..."
Chester snorted and then pointed his hand at the bodyguard's crotch. When he said 'phew,' the bodyguard screamed and collapsed.
"Nothing is exciting here," Chester said, his eyes fixed on the conference building. Half of the building had been burned down, indicating a big fight was taking place.
