Chapter 85: The Ones Who Should Worry Are the Enemies
Without any charging up, a palm tore through the flames and, under the Black Snake's astonished gaze, struck her abdomen.
Thud!
Her body arched like a shrimp, flying backward like a torn rag, smashing through several walls.
"You're not even qualified to make me draw my weapon."
A mere rat hiding in the gloom, a filthy being occupying another's body.
Kevin adjusted slightly. Trying to control his strength to the point of driving "It" out without killing her was no easy task.
"Big Sister Talulah!"
Under Mephisto's furious gaze, the Reunion mobs rioted!
Monsters covered in black crystals, with protruding bones and twisted faces, roared as they charged toward Kevin in the center. They had no reason and feared no death.
For ordinary living beings, facing such a horde of monsters alone would naturally be overwhelming.
But,
Swoosh! Swoosh! Thud!
Pure black ice lotuses bloomed. Thick ice pillars pierced through the surrounding walls, brutally pushing aside numerous high-rise buildings.
Their tips skewered countless Reunion mob individuals like candied haws.
Their withered bodies oozed a mixture of minimal blood and unknown fluids, which froze the moment they were exposed to the air. Dust settled; under the extreme cold, they lacked the means to spread.
Step! Step!
Kevin walked step by step toward the top of the ice pillar. Solid ice steps automatically formed beneath his feet.
"Come on, struggle hard. Use all your strength, just to—survive."
This is a judgment, and also the final mercy!

"Ace, who is he?"
"Is it really okay to leave him alone to face Talulah?"
Dobermann supported a wounded comrade, frowning as she asked Ace.
That man was strong, even capable of freezing a Draco's flames, but she still didn't think he could hold out for long under such heavy encirclement.
"Hahaha, Dobermann, he's also a Rhodes Island operator. At least he used to be."
Ace carried his alloy axe on his back, not slowing his pace in the slightest.
"Huh?"
Dobermann was puzzled. As a qualified instructor,
in theory, she should have an impression of all Babel's operators. But he was completely an "unfamiliar face."
The Doctor showed an extraordinary reliance on this person. Even with amnesia, he could clearly call out the other's name. This was simply...
But she quickly realized that person must have joined Rhodes Island before her. As for when?
"That should be Mr. Kevin."
Amiya softly answered Dobermann's question. She had met Mr. Kevin a few times when she was little. He was one of the few adults who didn't treat her like a child, so although they hadn't met often, Amiya had a deep impression of Kevin.
"Kevin? He's strong. I can feel it."
Nearl tightened her grip on her shield. Honestly, when he approached, she had no confidence in protecting the Doctor from Kevin's hands. The pressure of being his enemy was too immense.
But fortunately, he wasn't an enemy. He even single-handedly held off those guys, helping them break free.
"Alright, no need to worry about Kevin. How the battle goes is something for the enemies to worry about. What we need to do is get the Doctor and the wounded out first, then stay as far away from this battlefield as possible."
Ace said solemnly. For missions fighting alongside Kevin, he was extremely familiar with the entire process.
Perhaps the new generation of operators didn't know, but this was a required course for every elite operator during the Babel era, to avoid situations where they didn't even know how to hold onto a powerful ally.
Before long, the Rhodes Island team could already see the edge of Chernobog city. Just a bit more travel, and they could return to Rhodes Island via aircraft. Their mission this time could be successfully completed.
"Finally found you~"
A slightly cheerful voice halted their steps. Two distinctive crimson streaks ran through white hair. She wore a simple coat; the three "potatoes" at her waist gave enemies immense intimidation.
Over a dozen Reunion Movement members followed behind her.
"I knew leaving smoothly wouldn't be that simple."
Dobermann unfurled her coiled whip, her expression grave.
Even if she didn't know this person's identity, since she was with the Reunion Movement, she meant no good.
"The first step to building a good relationship is self-introduction—"
"No need for introductions, W."
Ace interrupted her speech.
"If you have a purpose, just say it directly."
From his understanding of W, she wasn't the type to do meaningless things.
Since she came, she must have an objective. As for chance encounters... better not hold onto such naive wishful thinking.
"Oh? Didn't expect to run into an acquaintance here. As for my purpose... Ace, considering our past relationship, I'll give you some face. Hand over the Doctor to me, and I'll let you go. How about that?"
W flashed the gun in her hand, but Ace's attention wasn't on her gun. Instead, his gaze swept around their surroundings.
From his understanding of W, when she appeared, what needed more attention than direct combat were those bombs buried without anyone noticing. Perhaps their entire area was already surrounded by "potatoes."
"W... have we met somewhere before?"
"Hehe~ You're Amiya, right? The little one back then has already grown so big."
The term "little one" instantly awakened Amiya's somewhat fuzzy memories. W's nasty face from back then seemed to appear before her once again.
Her past and present smiling faces overlapped. This person really hasn't changed at all.
"But today's matter has nothing to do with you. Leave the Doctor behind, and you can go. It's that simple."
W chambered a round in her gun. She came all the way here specifically to see him.
"Impossible, W."
Amiya flatly refused. Rhodes Island would never abandon the Doctor.
"Enough talk, Amiya. Don't waste time with her."
Dobermann worried that delays would lead to complications. If they lingered any longer, the situation would become increasingly complex.
The atmosphere instantly became tense and hostile. The Reunion Movement members behind W also drew their weapons; their equipment was clearly superior to ordinary members'.
Forget it.
After roughly estimating both sides' combat power, even with prior preparations, W wasn't confident she could retreat unscathed after a fight with Ace present.
She didn't do losing business.
"Whatever~ My objective is already accomplished anyway. See you later~"
Just as W was about to leave, Ace called out to stop her.
"W."
"Huh?"
W turned back boredly, tilting her head in slight confusion.
"Kevin is back. He's here too. Right here in Chernobog."
Ace originally intended this as a final means to dissuade W. He didn't expect her to actually let them go like this.
"What did you say?!"
w is cooked vro lmao
