Esper X Family – Chapter 220 – I’ll Start the Teamfight!

“You can discuss how you want to proceed among yourselves, but it’s best not to lose anyone before the plan begins. Otherwise, I’ll be the first to kill anyone who causes trouble.”

Disciple exuded a terrifying aura.

Even the most ruthless among the high-risk Sequence Espers had no choice but to temporarily retreat in the face of such pressure.

This person’s mental power was clearly S-rank.

The people from the Sanctuary were all monsters.

For the sake of survival, it was best not to provoke them.

“Are you sure we can leave on our own after this job is done?”

“With Spatial Escape, you can go wherever you want.”

“Fine. We’ll act as pawns for your Sanctuary this once. Schemes and tricks aren’t our forte, but when it comes to killing and arson, we’re top-tier.”

Disciple didn’t continue the conversation and quickly vanished on the spot.

The Countermeasures Bureau might take action.

He couldn’t let anyone outside the plan interfere with this operation.

This time, the Sanctuary wasn’t just sending him alone.

The plan had reached its final stage, and they no longer needed to hide like before.

It was time to announce the terror of the Sanctuary to the world.

As soon as Disciple left, many of the high-risk Sequence Espers unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

The pressure from an S-rank Esper was too overwhelming.

Even these bloodthirsty executioners found it hard to breathe.

“Alright, let’s skip the pointless introductions.

I don’t care what you’ve done in the past.

Nor do I care how infamous you are.

All I want to know is what role you can play in this operation.”

Just as the high-risk Sequence Espers began to divide tasks among themselves, shadows everywhere began to writhe subtly.

Like dust in the air, no one could detect them.

High above, beside Ye Tong, a figure clad in blacl Dark Erosion armor spoke slowly.

“Eleven in total, all with base mental power of at least A-rank. Estimates range from 2,500 to 4,200. They can be dealt with at any time.”

Mu Luo’s voice was icy cold.

Reаⅾ oո ΚatRеαdіոɡСаfе

Nearly one week of continuous hunting had made his heart colder than a butcher’s.

Gu Wenxin remained silent, merely drawing his sword, his aura sharp and boundless.

Just moments ago, Mu Luo had quickly found Ye Tong and Xia Lian, bringing Gu Wenxin along with him to regroup.

Ye Tong didn’t choose to reminisce about their reunion but instead instructed Mu Luo to locate the enemy.

Now that they had been found, the initiative was in their hands.

“Mm, prepare for a massacre. Let’s catch them off guard before they make their move.”

Ye Tong glanced at the attribute panels of the two.

First, Mu Luo’s.

【Ability: Dark Erosion

Mental Power: 4,999 (Dark Cocoon State)】

Just one step away from breaking through to S-rank.

The Dark Cocoon State was likely part of the breakthrough ritual.

Next, Gu Wenxin’s.

【Ability: Slaying Evil

Mental Power: 4,580】

Gu Wenxin was only a few hundred points short.

There were too few true experts among the high-risk Sequence Espers.

Most were just scums who relied on their superior strength to wreak havoc.

Killing them wouldn’t give Gu Wenxin much experience.

However, extinguishing Source Fires would significantly boost his mental power.

If they let him take all the kills this time, perhaps he could break through to S-rank in one go.

Mu Luo was also on the verge of breaking through.

If he succeeded this time, they might achieve the feat of having two S-rank Espers in their group.

Then, Ye Tong thought about the Countermeasures Bureau.

According to the information Lou Wei had revealed, they might dispatch two or three S-rank Espers.

They might already be in the city.

Normally, they should coordinate with them before taking action.

But now that they’ve found the bad guys, was there any need to wait?

Ye Tong quickly made a decision.

Start the teamfight first!

Rеаԁ oո ΚatRеαԁіngСаfe

With such perfect vision, they couldn’t just sit around doing nothing.

Ye Tong wouldn’t wait until a bunch of people died before stepping in, like those in movies and shows.

If there was a chance to win without casualties, they must take it!

“Kill the people on the Countermeasures Bureau’s list first. Don’t accidentally harm our own.”

“Understood.” Gu Wenxin nodded.

He was already aware of the undercover agent among the high-risk Sequence Espers through Ye Tong.

If he hadn’t known, he would’ve decisively killed anyone tainted with evil.

Especially with something as boundless and corrupting as the Source Fire.

It seemed to be designed to pollute humanity.

Meanwhile, Fang Ze had arrived at the designated location.

Yes, it was him again.

As an S-rank Esper with 6A-level stats, Fang Ze could appear anywhere.

If Lou Wei ranked first among the Countermeasures Bureau’s S-rank Espers, and Fu Qi ranked second, then Fang Ze undoubtedly held the third spot.

This time, the high-risk Sequence Espers were planning something big.

With the help of Source Fire, their strength might even increase further.

The Sanctuary had once revealed their possible ability to mass-produce S-rank Espers.

If the high-risk Sequence Espers went berserk and unleashed S-rank power in a short time, ordinary S-rank powerhouses might not be able to withstand their combined assault.

Even ants can kill an elephant if there are enough of them.

Thus, they needed a decisive powerhouse to step in.

Lou Wei had to protect Ye Yao.

Fu Qi had to guard the headquarters.

That left Fang Ze in charge of this operation.

Accompanying Fang Ze were two other S-rank Espers, both veterans of the Countermeasures Bureau.

Suppressing a bunch of unruly rats shouldn’t be a problem.

“Have you found the targets?”

“Scanned with mental power. Found a few suspicious locations with traces of perception-blockage.”

“Don’t alert them. Prepare yourselves. We’ll take them down in one swift move.”

The Countermeasures Bureau had already formulated a plan.

Reaԁ on KαtRеαⅾіոɡСаfе

There was no need to passively wait for the high-risk Sequence Espers to make their move.

They just needed to lock onto the suspicious locations, set up a simple formation, and strike with thunderous force!

Coincidentally, Ye Tong’s group and Fang Ze’s group initiated their attacks at the same time.

“Mu Luo! Ambush!”

“Law Space! Ability Nullification! ”

Shadows around the high-risk Sequence Espers writhed rapidly, with black spikes, scythes, and blades erupting from the darkness.

In an instant, limbs flew everywhere.

Some were even cut in half at the waist!

“AHHH!”

The next moment, silver light flashed within most high-risk Sequence Espers.

Spatial fluctuations erupted.

Whether they were lightly injured, severely wounded, or fatally struck, they all disappeared on the spot.

As if someone was CCing them!

Mu Luo couldn’t finish them off, nor could he send his teammates to clean up the battlefield.

Because his ability was instantly nullified at that moment.

Fang Ze had activated his ability in that instant, affecting both friend and foe alike!

The moment Ye Tong realized that everyone’s abilities were nullified, she had guessed which S-rank Esper the Countermeasures Bureau had sent.

Isn’t this the domain of the mechanism Dayun Truck?

“Starting the teamfight by hard CCing your own team?

Damn it! If you don’t drop gold coins afterward, you’re done for!”

On the other side, the injured high-risk Sequence Espers had been teleported to a crowded area.

The wounds on their bodies immediately burst into flames, and their severed flesh regenerated at a visible rate.

A moment later, the next law was enacted.

“Space Solidification.”

Fang Ze had already noticed the high-risk Sequence Espers emerging one after another.

The rapid healing of their injuries told him that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.

Rеαⅾ οn КαtRеaⅾіոɡСafе

His two colleagues had already launched their full-force attacks.

But the next moment, they were intercepted by two suddenly appearing powerful auras.

A figure emerged from a burning void.

Disciple appeared before Fang Ze as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

“Fang Ze. Ability: Law Space, base mental power around seven thousand.

We know everything about you.

You can only draw a circle in reality and declare yourself king within it.

Those inside the circle must abide by the rules you set.

But the Sanctuary has long transcended reality and no longer shares the same space.

Those with the Source Fire carry the Sanctuary’s territory with them.

The rules you set don’t apply to those from another space.”

What awaited the Disciple wasn’t Fang Ze’s shocked reaction.

But a cold, zero-frame startup.

BOOM!!!

The battle between S-rank Espers had begun!

Text: In the end, the one who feels good will be me

I’ll come ¹ 冲 means “rush” or “charge” but can also be slang for “shooting stuff”, so it’s implying that the speaker is a femboy

Translator Note

I still prefer the original title, but if I have to choose one of the new ones… maybe 4?
