Chapter 56:The Rose Part-timer Squad

“Captain! We have a huge problem!”

“What is it?”
“Did the humans find us and are they giving chase?”

“Ah, not that.”
“I don’t know what just happened, but all the rich ladies around me just vanished!”
“I had just finished toying with them and was about to scam some money!”

“…”

Aibrune’s face darkened.
Although he really wanted to run over and punch the squad member who had actually gone to be a gigolo, it was clear from his words that he had also encountered something unusual.

“Captain! I’ve got a situation here too.”
“I’m also working at a supermarket, and suddenly all the customers disappeared!”
“What kind of special human theft technique is this?”
“Even I couldn’t see through it.”

“There’s no one left on your end either?”

“Captain, same here.”
“There was a human littering, which is intolerable for someone with my extreme mysophobia.”
“I was just about to raise my hand to give him a punch, and he suddenly disappeared.”

“By the way, Captain, didn’t you go to the Humanoid Weapon Research Society?”
“How are you not dead yet?”

“Captain, what’s the situation?”
“It feels like something similar to a barrier has been deployed?”
“We are inside this barrier.”
The members of the Rose squad were all utterly bewildered.

Aibrune didn’t dare to jump to conclusions just yet.
The momentary daze he had just experienced was very likely due to the barrier’s deployment.

But more important than the barrier was the fact that the Rose Legion’s forces seemed to be preparing to attack Tantan City, and this space was likely opened by the humans to counter it.

And it was an attack without any warning.

They hadn’t received any similar orders.
Moreover, it was an extremely irrational move for the Rose Legion to attack humans now.
He didn’t know what Julius, the Staff Officer currently in control of the legion, was doing.

The four members of the Rose squad had all encountered the same situation and had now gathered together.

The humans had suddenly vanished, leaving behind an empty city.
But it wasn’t a completely empty city either; in the distance, the Rose Legion was fighting against human forces.

In other words, the humans with combat capabilities were left within the barrier.
The city was duplicated and manifested, while ordinary humans were removed, using this space as a battlefield to protect the normal operation of the original city.

“It’s an Imaginary Space opened by the humans.”
“The legion has launched an attack on the humans and has sounded the horn for a general assault.”
“It seems we must also head to the legion’s location immediately.”

“Huh?”
“We have to go too?”
“I don’t think there’s any pay…”

“Ugh… let’s go check on the situation first, anyway.”

Aibrune also wanted to know what Julius was thinking.

Even if the Rose Legion launched a surprise blitzkrieg, taking advantage of the humans not noticing the damaged Orderly Exterminator Barrier, the legion would have no way to defend the occupied city when the humans counterattacked later.

Worse, it could bring disaster upon the Rose Legion, and their already weakened strength could be completely annihilated.

Countless figures fell from the sky.
They were Bloodkin wearing white robes.
The Imaginary Space confined them within the barrier, but they only needed to crush the humans inside to break through.

At this moment, on the other side.

Julius stood on a flickering streetlight.
Watching the warriors beside him continuously pour into the human city, he too drew the blade from his waist.

He did not yet know who the strongest human combatant in Tantan City was.
His purpose now was to find that combatant and kill them.
After that, the Bloodkin army would flatten this place without any resistance.

“Sword, drink my blood.”

“—Blossom, Blood Rose.”

Sharp thorned vines instantly shot out from the blade, wrapping tightly around Julius’s arm and rapidly drawing blood from his body.

Gradually, the silver blade was infused with blood, turning completely red, the edge of the sword taking on a horrifyingly vivid crimson.

With a turn of his foot, Julius’s figure shot out like lightning toward a skyscraper a hundred meters away.
He treated the towering building as if it were nothing, kicking through a solid floor without a second thought and bursting out the other side.

He was searching for the one with the strongest extermination power among all the humans.

That aura was straight ahead.
He advanced rapidly toward the position of the A-rank Exterminator, War Shield.

Otherworldly Beasts of all sizes also emerged from the distorted space, crashing down on Tantan City like cannonballs, creating dull thuds that shook the earth.

In an instant, the Exterminators, who had prepared their defenses in advance, emerged from the alleyways in unison.
Each of them already had their swords, imbued with extermination power, held tightly in their hands, and their eyes radiated a daunting fighting spirit.

White and black instantly converged, entwined, and clashed.
The fierce sound of weapons colliding echoed in the air.

Figures staggered, and sparks flew.

And if one were to pull the view infinitely far back, far behind Julius, was Sheffield, dressed in the uniform of the Seraphim Legion.

Like an outsider, he sat high up on a railing, propping his head with one hand, watching everything that was happening with a strange smile.

“The good show is finally starting.”

The great battle between the Rose Legion and Tantan City was about to erupt.
