The three looked at each other with an intense glare. The Nightingale member seemed to be not that wary of them even though they had the advantage of numbers.

Then, in the split of a second, they moved at a lightning speed and tried to pass the two women sneakily to snatch Acht.

Scarlett was ready for it even though she was barely able to see them move. So, she slashed down with her sword with perfect timing to hit them right in the face. But what she heard instead was the screeching sound of two swords clashing ferociously.

They had pulled out a katana sword from their spatial ring and immediately parried the attack to the side with very swift movements.

Then, the mysterious person slashed back while still in the air. The sword moved like a string of light under the glaring gaze of the sun.

'Fuck.' Scarlett cursed as she had no other choice but to use her element. Her speed can't simply follow this person.

*Swish*

In a moment, a strong heat wave hit the person followed by a huge fire blast that almost cooked them alive. So, to avoid such a horrible outcome, they clicked their tongue and jumped back to make the distance.

This exchange didn't take one and a half seconds to happen, it was so overwhelmingly fast that it might appear to normal people as nothing but flashes of light.

'They are really fast. I can't follow up.' Scarlett thought as she looked at the fire in her hand. Her element, in similarity with the color of her hair, was fire. It wasn't one of the strongest elements in the world but she was able to make it very strong with hard training and smart ideas.

People thought that fire could only be used in a near-range attack but Scarlett had discovered on her own that she could use it as a long-range attack with fireballs and other techniques.

She then looked at Leislet who didn't move during this time. It wasn't that she was stunned or shocked but it seemed that she had something in mind. Their eyes coincidentally aligned and they shared their thoughts.

For a split second, the mysterious person saw an opening and tried to exploit it, so they targeted Leislet since she was the slowest to move out of the two.

*Swish*

Without any hesitation, the masked person closed the distance between them and Leislet in less than a second. They made sure that Leislet wasn't able to react in time. However, they miscalculated something.

The moment they were about to slash horizontally, intending to cut the woman in half, a blinding light attacked their eyes and made them lose sight for a split second.

Leislet saw that moment and immediately grabbed the person by the head and smashed them on the wall.

*BOOM*

The wall broke and a huge hole was created in the building. The Nightingale member was thrown out of the window. They were on the 29th floor so it was quite the high fall for anyone. Luckily, they were still in Mystic Soul City so the streets were empty and there was no one that would get harmed.

"This won't kill them. We need to hurry up!" She said as she dissipated the light that she created from her hand.

It was an attack she prepared during the confrontation between Scarlett and the mysterious person.

Then, she feigned ignorance and left herself open for an attack before turning the table on them when it was the right time. It was all a very smart plan from her side.

The two then called out for a security guard they had outside and made sure that he was guarding Acht well until they returned. It was dangerous to leave him there alone but it was even more dangerous if the mysterious Nightingale member was left alone. They had to deal with them.

After reaching the entrance to the hospital, they looked around and didn't find the person. There was a sizable crack in the street where they should've fallen but there was no trace of them.

"Dammit! They ran away!" Leislet cursed as she walked out even further to check the surroundings.

As for Scarlett, she immediately closed her eyes and started what seemed like a meditation session.

"I found them." She said after a few seconds.

"What? How?"

"Don't ask now and follow me!" She then blasted through the street in a certain direction followed by Leislet.

They didn't know why this person was going in that direction but they didn't care at all. They had already called all the hunters that were left in the city to come and help them.

Luckily, there were a lot of strong individuals left in the city since they were guarding the most important item in the world 'The Midnight Song'.

p That sword was still inside the city and under very heavy security 24/7. They were preparing for transporting it but it was a very detailed plan that needed time to be perfected.

The two passed one street after the other, seemingly going in no particular direction.

However, they soon stopped in front of a dead end. It was a huge wall that closed a street after going under construction and renewal but ended up being closed forever.

Scarlett tried to sense their presence again but ended up failing. She clenched her teeth until they started making weird noises and punched the wall in frustration.

"That fucking bastard!" She cursed and shouted to vent off her anger.

"We need to go back. They might have another trick up their sleeve." Leislet said.

"But…" Scarlett tried to retort but ended up being speechless.

"They won't give up on Acht. Didn't you hear what they said? 'The boss wants him'. If the true leader of Nightingale really wants Acht then this is a very important matter. We can even exploit it."

"I guess…you are indeed right. My apologies. I lost my temper there."

Leislet heard her meek voice and couldn't hold her laughter.

"W-What?"

"You are really childish sometimes." She replied with an amused tone.

"I am not childish!"
