The main plan in the plan was to kill Pain.
Pain was the leader of the Desert Cowboy Gang; he was the backbone of this notorious criminal force. No matter what the vengeance army did, if Pain was still alive, another Desert Cowboy Gang could rise any day.
This was why Tim prioritized killing him.
By bringing the whole Vengeance Army to attack and overwhelm the main base of the criminals, it would make sure that they had no time for reinforcements to come help them which would increase the chances of Pain being killed.
If Pain was killed would exterminating the Desert Cowboy Gang be realistic. If Pain was killed, they could finally go out there and exterminate all the other bases of the criminal gang one by one.
The Vengeance Army was superior in numbers to the criminals in the main base by more than 5 to 1, this was their greatest advantage.
They did not deem to slow down or even employ complicated strategies, with Goro's help, the warriors simply invaded and started steamrolling through the criminals like a hot knife through butter.
In just 30 minutes, the main base of the Desert Cowboy Gang was close to being taken. Only Pain was the real problem that needed to be solved.
With Tim, Aragorn, Cain, and Rex taking him on at the same time, no matter how strong he originally was, Pain could no longer stand his ground.
Tim and Aragorn alone were experts that were already at his level, pairing 2 of them together was a cheat already, and adding his younger sibling and the strange swordsman to the equation only complicated matters further.
For the first few minutes, Pain was trashed but he did not die as he barely saved his life. Crazy as a he was, he knew that this was his limit.
After never showing them to the outside world, Pain finally decided to show these 4 warriors the power of wealth and why he engaged in slave trading.
In his trades with the rich scions of the Great Shelters, Pain did not just get money, he also got access to some Great Shelter-level mystic treasures.
The 2 black fighter robots that he unleashed were some of his greatest trump cards only below his Super Grade parasitic armor.
Both robots had advanced grade durability but due to their lack of human traits, some other shortcomings, and less than ideal processors, their effective strength was capped at the pinnacle of the Intermediate grade.
Despite all these shortcomings though, individually, they could give Tim and Aragorn a run for their money.
His real trump card despite these was his Super Grade armor. Once Pain equipped the armor, his Poison Parasite became hyperactive and excited as his skin turned purplish black the next moment.
In this state, all Pain's injuries were healed. The next moment, bug-like wings from his parasite emerged from Pain's back as he flew into the skies.
Pain's parasite was the dangerous 6 Poison Bug, a notorious mystic bug. This parasite did not just grant him flight abilities similar to that of a bug, it gave him its lethal poisonous abilities and the ability to sting to death.
Pain's purple eyes glared at his 4 enemies as he laughed maniacally.
"Hahaha, the world shall know Pain!"
While maintaining his maniacal laughter, Pain descended from the skies as he wreaked havoc. With his shadow abilities, he warped around like a space bug and this combined well with his 6 Poison Bug parasite.
With Tim and Aragorn taking the lead to resist, a great battle began.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
With his trump cards, Pain was right as he showed the real abilities of wealth. With his 2 fighter robots taking the lead and absolving most of the damage, he was free to be unrestrained and he did not waste it as he spread destruction.
He constantly released poisonous mists in the air that affected his 4 opponents, and his ability of flight granted him a great advantage also.
With his pair of stingers, he was a monster at close combat battle, and with his shadow mystic ability, his speed was unmatched, not even by Cain who was a wind mystic ability user.
As he fought, Pain continued laughing maniacally.
Even though Tim and Aragorn were his greatest threats, he gave the most attention to his kid brother as Cain was beaten to an unrecognizable state.
As he dominated the battle, Pain finally found it right to speak as for some reason his emotions were now extremely agitated.
"Cain, I always hated you but you have no right to hate me back!"
"I killed the old man, yes, but he hated me".
"Hahaha, no one has the right to hate me!"
"I never went after you but you came, today, I will give you the death that you seek. You will join your father in the afterworld, hahaha!"
After these few minutes of fighting, all of them already suffered significant injuries as even with the robots, Tim and Aragorn were still powerhouses. Rex also brought a different package to the battlefield with his abilities.
Despite all the injuries, Pain still had the advantage.
After pushing the others back one more time, Pain suddenly descended from the skies to finish the job and end his brother's life but Tim reacted.
Tim stood on top of a rock as it propelled him into the skies to collide with Pain. As for Aragorn, he aimed with his Blood Pistols as he got ready to unleash another Blood Shot to heavily injure this notorious criminal.
Both of them reacted appropriately but they did not account for everything, they could not as Pain finally revealed his last trump card.
Another fighter robot appeared, a sniper robot.
Boom! Boom!
2 shots and blood blossomed as both Tim and Aragorn were heavily injured. They coughed blood as they fell like dead eagles.
A 3rd shot followed despite the fighter robot's ambush as one of the Blood Pistols roared, Aragorn's shot barely saved Cain from sure death. Despite the intervention, Cain was heavily injured also.
Rex was now the only one injured but was not incapacitated yet. At this point, he observed Pain with his red eyes as he finally understood why Aragorn claimed boldly that he would not last 5 minutes against this warrior.
He had to admit, Pain was the strongest intermediate mystic warrior that he had ever encountered even if all his OP trump cards were excluded.
Rex was placed in a dilemma. Should he escape now while he still could or should he put his life in the line to end this battle no matter the sacrifice involved?
Boom!
Having noticed their situation, Gilbert and Goro's attention finally turned towards this direction as they both worked to barely keep Pain occupied.
In Rex's dilemma, he felt a hand grab his legs. Rex looked and saw Aragorn's blue eyes looking back at him with blood now staining a part of them.
"I know who you are…" Aragorn coughed and spoke. "My bloodline mystic ability is related to blood; we are the Blood Gunners. I already noticed our affinity; I knew you were a vampire from the first day that we met".
"No matter what your bloodline is, it is not something to be hidden and be ashamed of, your bloodline is your pride".
"Stop resisting it and embrace it, that is how you'll grow more".
"You are a Vampire!"
"Suck my blood and finish the job on our behalf".
"Pain cannot escape…, no matter what".
Rex was shocked but he did not ask any questions, this was no time for questions and besides, he was reluctant to abandon the other benefits that he could possibly get from this mission and the special system event.
Rex bent down and gently picked Aragorn by the head as his fangs already jutted out instinctively, he dug his fangs into Aragorn's neck and sucked.
The sweet feeling of blood and the pleasure of sucking it, something that he never felt from drinking through blood bags flooded Rex's brain as he closed his eyes and moaned in pleasure the next moment.
Rex's system lit up a notification almost instantly after he sucked.
[You have sucked and drank the blood of an ancient bloodline carrier!]
[For drinking a rare ancient bloodline: You have received 50 free stat points!]
[You have received the stimulation of the ancient Larkinson bloodline- The Legendary Blood Gunners!]
[Your blood rank has been stimulated and upgraded!]
[Congratulations! You are now a Vampire Knight…]
