467,

This is bad!!!

Just like Onigashima, Alexander also shouted in his heart.

Godeau's explosion was supposed to be perfect, but it turned into such a predicament.

In order to accurately assess the relationship between Marcina and Cyclone, Alexander came up with this sudden explosion stunt.

Breaking through the walls of the two, allowing them to meet under sudden crisis.

If, as the leader described, Marcina truly does not want the world to know about her relationship with Cyclone and would use it against her.

In that instant, she would surely show a surprised expression upon seeing Cyclone again.

Then, for that unspeakable secret, she would act like she knows nothing.

To capture that moment of vulnerability, Alexander could only execute such a clever strategy.

First, an explosion, which happened to break through the wall between Cyclone and Marcina.

But not in a straight line, considering the time gap between the explosion and rushing to push open the door, the breach had to be slightly off to prevent Marcina from seeing Cyclone immediately.

Then comes the aftermath, if only a simple explosion was set off, Marcina's magical perception would definitely detect Godeau's explosion as intentional.

To conceal this, in order to not raise Marcina's suspicions, Alexander slightly shifted the location of the explosion downwards, affecting the heretic below Cyclone as well.

In this way, the Four Saints of the Water Faith had sufficient justification to trigger the explosion here.

The only concern was that this circular explosion would inevitably involve the assassination group members as well.

But there was only one chance, it had to be attempted.

This was the plan, executed by Godeau, who even perfectly controlled the explosion's range.

Everything should have gone smoothly, however…

Marcina fell asleep? At this moment?! No way!!

Five years ago, she played with all the warriors on the mainland in the palm of her hand.

Thinking she had gained experience, Alexander was once again toyed with by Marcina after five years.

The situation exceeded Alexander's ability to calculate, not only unable to see Marcina's initial response, he also needed to tidy up after this explosion.

On the other hand, with the appearance of the Four Saints, everything seemed to return to calm.

The members of the assassination group put away their actions, since they already knew Elyse's whereabouts, they could patiently wait for an opportunity without rushing to show their intentions in front of the Four Saints.

Seeing this scene, whether it was Onigashima, the Four Saints, the assassination group, or even Yuna, no one intended to make a move.

As no one spoke, Alexander began to wrap up the situation.

"Don't worry, everyone, we're here. With us Four Saints, we will definitely rescue you from the hands of the heretics!!"

Eumerika boldly declared and stepped forward.

"Did you hear that? People below!! You have been surrounded by us!!!"

No one spoke, the atmosphere was tense.

At the same time, following suit, Frans shouted.

"Everyone, leave this place quickly!!"

Upon hearing one of the Four Saints, Frans, speak so, the members of the assassination group nodded and began to walk towards the exit.

Elyse, clinging to Cyclone's leg, looked at the unusually calm atmosphere and felt uneasy in her heart.

Peeking discreetly from the breach, Elyse caught sight of the Assassination Squad leaving, and she also saw the smirk on the face of their leader at that moment.

In that instant, Elyse understood.

The Assassination Squad had found her, and even with Yuna's strength, she couldn't protect herself around the clock.

Looking at Yuna, the woman who had just shown her disdain, Elyse thought, No... I can't rely on her...

This might be her only chance. Elyse held Cyclone tightly and swallowed hard.

"My own future, I will protect it myself!"

"It's them!"

Just as the fifth member of the Assassination Squad was about to step out of the room, Elyse shouted.

"It's them!! They... they raped me!!"

Elyse's shout made the already tense atmosphere even more so.

Cyclone and his family froze, Onigashima froze, and even the members of the Assassination Squad were stunned.

Elyse looked pitifully at the Four Saints, and as the just heroes they were, the Four Saints had to react to Elyse's declaration.

In that moment, Elyse caught the eyes of the Four Saints.

And in that moment, Yuna seized the opportunity.

A chunk of ice formed instantly next to the leader of the Assassination Squad and, once solidified, shot swiftly towards the head of Alexander.
