Chapter 262 No Mercy
Chapter 262 No Mercy
"Free for All! That is what I love the most!" Peppers, who was in her pyjamas suit stood at the rooftop of a shop house since the moment she was summoned by Jin. After getting permission she twirled her magical staff and aimed at the crowd below her. As much as she loved explosions, she did not wish to cause unnecessary collateral damage, which would merely serve to further complicate things once the issue blows over.
"It\'s not really my style of magic but here goes! Explosive Beam Pillar!" Peppers shouted as a beam of fiery light appeared from the skies, striking down on the streets below. The radius was large enough to decimate tens of gangsters, and it did not stop there. The beam of intensely concentrated energy trailed down the road burning and consuming anything in its path.
The gangsters were shocked by the existence of a Western magical arts practitioner in the midst of battle. Not only that judging by the impressive spell she was a high level one at that too, participating in this battle. "Do not underestimate us!" One of the Ruby Rat Triad members shouted, apparently one of higher seniority and cultivation grade.
He jumped up to the rooftop in one go and decided to aim his kick at the girl in pyjamas. Peppers braced herself for the impact by putting her staff right in front of her. Suddenly, she felt a large familiar hand holding onto her shoulder as if to tell her to move backwards.
*BANG*
The shot went through the head of the Ruby Rat Triad member and his head was detached in an instant. It reappeared, now being carried around in the mouth of a black fox that had an intricate hand painted ornate mask at the side of its face. The headless body dropped from mid air and onto the side of the roof. The man with the trench coat walked towards it and kicked it down, horrifying the gangsters that were still reeling from the previous magical attack.
"Aren\'t you..." Peppers, who now recognized the familiar looking trench coat slowly went into tears. "Stupid guy! Baka! You big idiot!" Peppers dropped her staff, running towards Kraft and hugged him tightly.
"Woah woah! Easy there, little girl." Kraft smiled gently for once as Peppers wrapped her arms around his waist and he removed his stained scarlet red glove to rub her head.
"Where have you been?! The System said you were gone forever!" Peppers pouted at the unexpected reunion.
"Just a long nap, that\'s all." Kraft laughed when suddenly a massive bang sounded from the door leading to the rooftop. The gangsters knocked the door down and saw their target. Anyone who was not indoors would be considered as an enemy and be killed.
*BOOOM*
"Did you have to do that Peppers?" Kraft smirked at the hot mess left at the site of the broken door.
"How dare they interrupt my reunion with you!" Peppers stuck out her tongue at Kraft as he continued to pat her head.
"It is nice to see you again Kraft." Milk appeared at the same place where Peppers first emerged, but Milk was in full battle gear, unlike pyjamas girl.
"Milky~, you are as bouncy as ever." Kraft smiled back, and Milk shook her head. "You haven\'t changed a bit. As lewd as ever."
"Kraft." Zeru materialised right after Milk and acknowledged Kraft\'s presence.
"Zeru." Kraft nodded his head slightly as he took the chance to summon back Tsu the black fox back into his revolver.
"Let\'s go save our master\'s ass once again!" Peppers shouted as she released herself from Kraft, picking up the staff and looked at the ongoing two versus one battle at the other side of the street. However she realised that first they would need to clear the neighbouring shophouse roofs, which were now filled with angry gangsters. They started to jump over to the roof that Bellators were on, trying to surround them.
"Show them no mercy, kill them all!" The Triad vice leader shouted, and the gangsters rushed in with all might, unknowingly to their deaths too.
"No Mercy?" Kraft\'s gentle expression changed to the fanatic one he always showed Jin as he took out a triple-barreled, triple-cylindered revolver ornamented with detailed golden fox designs. The moment Peppers saw it, she could not help but giggle.
"Kraft really took out \'No Mercy\' to show it to them." Peppers thought to herself, and it looked like both Milk and Zeru understood the reference. They could not help but smirk at the pun intended by Kraft and decided to step back to let Kraft show off.
"Wow, you lazy bastards, leaving me all the work." Kraft grinned evilly. With a transcendent sleight of hand, almost impossible to see with the n.a.k.e.d eye, he transferred three bullets from his old revolver to his new one.
As the gangsters charged towards the group, Kraft pressed the trigger on No Mercy as he bellowed the name of his bullet. "Show me your true form, Itori!" The gun fired and the bullet whizzed through the air. Suddenly, a colossal white furred fox with red line markings on its entire body manifested in front of Kraft. With a swipe, the whole row of gangsters vanished right in front of the bellators as she charged forward and bit the Triad assistant leader.
Surprisingly, he was fast enough to hold onto the mouth of the Fox Demon Itori, but his efforts were futile. Within a second, Itori shot out a breath of white fire, evaporating him into dust.
"These...These people are not ...are – THEY ARE MONSTERSSSS!!!!" One of the surviving gangsters cried out as he broke down and peed on his pants as his legs were rooted to the ground when Itori moved towards him and stomped him with her paw.
A whistle was heard and Itori suddenly disappeared. The white demon fox returned to Kraft as a bullet. The remaining gangsters could not help but try to run away at the horrifying foes in front of them.
"That was rather amazing to see no matter how many times you show it." Peppers clapped as Kraft gave a grin and a theatrical bow in return.
"I think I should offer Master Jin a bit of help. He has held himself well fighting two foes that are stronger than him." Milk felt pumped up as she started to jump around on the spot a bit, preparing to do a long jump.
"Bwahaha! Milk is finally going to show the path of the body to Jin?" Kraft teased, realizing, why Milk was in her battle monk attire instead of her usual priest attire.
"Hmph! Do not twist my Grandmaster\'s teachings into dirty stuff, you imbecile fox." Milk expressed her annoyance at Kraft as she took a few steps back before she did a short run and leaped to the opposing side of the street.

"This is interesting. So much data to be taken in. No wonder Boss Jin can create such wonderful dungeons. It looks like I worried for nothing for today." Mr Know-It-All spoke as he looked through the binoculars. He was currently stationed at a rented room in one of the apartments looking across 19th Wanhua street with a lady in punk rock clothes playing her portable handheld console on the sofa.
"So, I do not need to mobilise for today?" The girl with aquamarine colour hair asked Mr Know-It-All, and he shook his head.
