I rely on myself

Chapter 319 Escape safely
"I'm glad you're okay..."

After confirming that Ye Ye was fine, Lei Zhen sighed sincerely, and then he paid attention to the surrounding environment.

At this moment, the position where he and Ye Ye were was obviously more than ten centimeters lower than other places. This was because when Ye Ye was fighting against the golden meteor before, the impact released by both sides forcibly pressed the ground here down.

Although Lei Zhen did not reach out to scratch the ground, it can be imagined that the ground has been compacted a lot. Its density is probably harder than ordinary steel. It can be seen how huge the force was when the two sides confronted each other just now.

“Night after night…”

Recalling the scene just now and Ye Ye’s strange look, Lei Zhen didn’t know what he was thinking.

"Lord Raijin! Are you okay?!"

At this time, a voice came from behind her. It was Domon Hirin. She ran over while shouting Rai Zhen's name. She was secretly relieved to see that Rai Zhen was not seriously injured, but she still asked for safety reasons.

"Lord Raijin, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? Please tell Hinata to me."

"Ah, I'm fine, Hibari, you don't have to worry so much."

Lei Zhen was a little uncomfortable with Domon Hirin's concern. After all, although they were engaged, it was ultimately just the adults' own decision.

What's more, now that the Akabane clan has been exterminated and he is the only one left, I am afraid that the Izanagi clan will not want to continue to fulfill this agreement and give up the marriage contract.

"Miss!"

"Subaru, don't run so fast. Wait for me."

The anxious shouts came from Domon Hirin's guards, Kamo Subaru and Rokuren.

Because of Domon Hirin's sudden rush out, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, causing him to slow down by a step.

The two people who arrived saw at a glance that their eldest daughter was looking at Akabane Raima worriedly. Kamo Subaru, who had a more impulsive personality, immediately said unhappily.

"Why did you rush out for no reason? You made the young lady so worried."

"Okay, Subaru, calm down. Raishin is just worried about his puppet."

The more stable Liu Lian on the side tried to persuade him.

Although it was a bit noisy, this also showed that no one else was in any danger, Lei Zhen thought to himself. At the same time, he always felt like he had missed something, until the corner of his eye looked in one direction.

"not good?!"

Lei Zhen's face suddenly changed and he shouted. The people around him were startled by him. They thought that Lei Zhen had discovered some attack again, so they became alert. However, they soon found that there was no attack, so they asked in confusion.

"Master Lei Zhen, is there something wrong?"

"Don't be scary, you guy!"

"It won't hurt to be careful, Lei Zhen, did you find something?"

Domon Hirin, Kamo Subaru and Rokuren asked respectively, and Raijin answered. "She escaped. It seems that the attack just now was launched to cover her escape. Should I say that I was careless?" Raijin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After hearing this, the three people from Hiruzen realized something instantly and looked towards the place they had surrounded before. They saw that Alice and Xin, who were originally there, had disappeared without a trace. It was obvious that they had escaped.

Now the truth is clear. The reason why the previous sneak attack was so massive was to attract the attention of Lei Zhen and others, thereby creating a gap for Alice and Xin to retreat.

The result was obvious. The other party's plan went smoothly and Alice did escape successfully.

"Damn it, the other party hasn't been running for very long. Should we chase him, Miss?"

Subaru Kamo, who was very angry about the result, suddenly made a suggestion, but before Domon Hirin could reply, the Sixth Company on the side took the lead in pouring cold water on him.

"It's useless. She can perform magic to manipulate illusions. Even if we try to catch up with her, we won't be able to find her. We might even fall into her trap if we're not careful. So don't go, lest we waste our energy."

After hearing this, Subaru Kamo also understood this logic, so even though he was very unconvinced, he could only give up for now and suppress his anger deep in his heart. He would wait until he had the chance to meet the other party again in the future to settle the score again.

After some discussion, everyone reached a consensus. Although it was a pity that Alice escaped, there was nothing they could do about it and they could only let it go.

Moreover, the opponent has support hidden in the dark. Although the opponent's sneak attack was blocked just now, that was just Ye Ye's extraordinary performance, and now he has fallen into a coma because of it.

If the opponent attacks again, they will not be able to stop it, so they can only retreat anyway.

After meeting Charlotte, who had lost her ability to fight due to excessive consumption in the previous battle and could only wait, Lei Zhen and others evacuated from here and returned to the night party to complete their waiting obligations.

In addition, in a remote forest not far from the base of the Knights of the Cross, a voice suddenly rang out in the forest that should have been silent.

"It seems they are not catching up, miss."

"Of course, Xin. Although <Penultimate> is indeed not very knowledgeable, he is very smart. Without any way to confirm the situation, he certainly would not make a rash decision to pursue."

As this conversation progressed, something in the air suddenly split open and fell like petals, revealing two figures. They were Alice and Xin who had been surrounded by Raijin and the others.

Alice stretched her body vigorously because she had gotten out of trouble. Then she said with regret, "What a pity. It was my mistake not to anticipate the arrival of Kuroyoru-sama."

"Miss, there's nothing we can do about it, right? After all, no one expected that Raijin Akabane would have such a close relationship with that Kuroyoru-sama. Please don't take it too seriously."

Hearing Alice's regretful words, Xin couldn't help but step forward to persuade her, but unfortunately he was wrong.

"That's not the case, Xin. Although this is indeed the reason why I failed, it was because I was too careless. Perhaps it was because I was about to get what I wanted, so I was too impatient and arranged the plan just right. If the plan goes smoothly, of course there will be no problem, but if there are unexpected factors like now, wouldn't it be a clear failure? So to be honest, it was actually because I didn't have a plan for unexpected situations."

"........."

Xin was speechless. After all, if he thought about it carefully, it was just as Alice said. Alice did not anticipate the occurrence of unexpected situations in this operation.

The current situation is the best proof of this.
