    Chapter 253

    Riding at the front, Molly urged the Swiftwind Sharp-Horned Deer onward while her other six summoned beasts accelerated simultaneously.

    The kidnappers' Broadback Crawling Beast, burdened with two unconscious children and its riders, was already some distance ahead.

    The remaining summoned beasts stayed behind it, forming a defensive line.

    Battles between summoners were, in essence, battles between summoned beasts.

    The summoners themselves remained hidden as much as possible, directing the fight from safety.

    Once a summoner exposed themselves, they immediately became the enemy's primary target.

    After all, defeating the summoner usually meant ending the battle.

    The Ironwing Swiftbird spread its enormous steel-like wings and shot into the sky.

    Its sharp eyes locked onto the enemy beasts below.

    Its slightly opened beak released a piercing cry.

    "Skreeee!"

    The massive Sliding-Whisker Giant Fang Beast thundered forward with heavy footsteps while the Firetail Lion circled from another direction.

    Together they attempted to surround the enemy.

    Fastest of all was the cat-sized Long-Claw Jumping Mouse, bounding across rooftops in enormous leaps. Every so often it glanced backward, as though proudly leading the charge.

    At the rear, the Flat-Headed Venom Beast desperately chased after the others.

    Its short legs clearly weren't built for speed, leaving it panting as it struggled to keep up.

    From behind the formation, Molly calmly directed her entire summoned beast legion.


    ---

    "Damn it!"

    "Boss!"

    "They're catching up!"

    The small-eyed man riding atop the Broadback Crawling Beast shouted nervously.

    One arm held the unconscious little boy.

    The other clung desperately to the muscular man beside him whose arm was covered in flower tattoos.

    The tattooed man impatiently shook him off.

    "Stop shouting!"

    "If this thing could run any faster, do you think we'd still be here?"

    The small-eyed man looked as though he was about to cry.

    "The beautiful lady looks like she wants to eat us alive!"

    "I'm terrified!"

    The tattooed man rolled his eyes.

    "You're about to die and you're still calling her 'beautiful lady?'"

    "That makes me sick."

    "Get away from me."

    The small-eyed man immediately grabbed his arm again.

    "I really am scared, Boss."

    "Holding onto you makes me feel safer."

    The tattooed man roared,

    "Get lost!"

    "I'm even more frightened than you are!"

    "But didn't we already know what kind of risks came with this job?"

    Suddenly, the small-eyed man seemed to think of something.

    His eyes brightened.

    "What if..."

    "What if we give the kids back?"

    "Maybe they'll stop chasing us."

    The tattooed man's expression darkened.

    "Is your brain full of garbage?"

    "As long as we still have hostages..."

    "...there's still a chance to survive."

    "If we hand them over now..."

    "...we're dead."

    At that very moment, the small-eyed man's voice trembled.

    "Boss..."

    "They're here..."

    The tattooed man turned around.

    The six summoned beasts had already completed their encirclement.

    There was nowhere left to run.

    He patted the small-eyed man's shoulder.

    "Stop panicking."

    "Get ready."

    "If we're going to fight..."

    "...then fight."

    The two immediately forced themselves to calm down.

    Although the small-eyed man was still shaking, he managed to enter a combat state.

    Both of them understood one thing.

    Once they had chosen this path...

    There were some battles they couldn't avoid.

    The tattooed man's gaze turned cold.

    Since escape was impossible...

    They had to create an opportunity.

    The Broadback Crawling Beast abruptly turned into a nearby alley and disappeared into the darkness.

    The tattooed man whispered,

    "Shou Wu."

    "Focus everything on crippling the Sliding-Whisker Giant Fang Beast."

    "It's the weakest point."

    "Once we break through..."

    "...we run."

    Shou Wu nodded.

    The four combat beasts immediately moved.

    The Color-Changing Giant Lizard activated its camouflage.

    Its enormous body gradually vanished from sight.

    The Earth-Armor Stealth Beast burrowed underground.

    The Arrow Poison Boar lowered its head.

    Its back erupted with dozens of poisonous spikes that shot directly toward the Sliding-Whisker Giant Fang Beast.

    Molly had anticipated this.

    She immediately ordered the beast to dodge.

    Just as it leaped aside—

    The ground suddenly exploded open.

    The Earth-Armor Stealth Beast burst upward.

    Its enormous jaws clamped onto the Giant Fang Beast's hind leg.

    "Oh no!"

    Molly's expression changed.

    She was too late.

    Dozens of poisoned spikes struck the beast almost simultaneously.

    Its movements immediately became sluggish.

    The numbness spread rapidly through its body.

    Molly clenched her teeth.

    "Forget retreat."

    "Attack instead!"

    The Sliding-Whisker Giant Fang Beast suddenly turned.

    Its massive fangs sank deep into the Earth-Armor Stealth Beast.

    The beast let out a painful howl.

    Shou Wu winced.

    His summoned beast had already suffered fatal injuries.

    Then he gave his final command.

    "Roll!"

    The Earth-Armor Stealth Beast wrapped itself around the Giant Fang Beast before violently rolling across the ground.

    The two enormous bodies smashed straight into the pursuing Flat-Headed Venom Beast, knocking all three beasts into a tangled heap.

    Molly bit her lip.

    Her numerical advantage had unexpectedly become a weakness.

    She immediately shifted targets.

    "Kill the Arrow Poison Boar first!"

    The Firetail Lion had already circled behind it.

    Its mouth opened.

    Acidic flames poured forward like a blazing torrent.

    Immediately afterward, its tail flicked.

    A tiny spark landed upon the acid.

    Whoosh!

    Blue flames instantly engulfed everything within several meters.

    The Arrow Poison Boar screamed miserably.

    Its poisonous spikes burned black.

    Although it desperately fired volley after volley of poisoned quills...

    Most fell harmlessly to the ground before reaching their targets.


    ---

    Although they had sacrificed two summoned beasts...

    The tattooed man had successfully opened a gap in the encirclement.

    Now all they needed to do...

    ...was escape.

    Just as relief began appearing on his face—

    The Long-Claw Jumping Mouse suddenly leaped into an empty space.

    Its razor-sharp claws slashed downward.

    Slash!

    Blood sprayed through seemingly empty air.

    The invisible Color-Changing Giant Lizard was forced back into view.

    A deep wound stretched across its neck.

    Blood poured continuously from the cut.

    Its condition was critical.

    The tattooed man's face immediately turned pale.

    At the same time...

    The Ironwing Swiftbird folded its wings and dived toward the Hook-Tailed Giant Scorpion.

    The scorpion immediately raised its venomous tail to strike.

    A single hit would be enough to cripple the bird.

    Just before impact—

    The Ironwing Swiftbird abruptly changed direction and soared upward.

    It had merely been a feint.

    The true attack came from behind.

    The Pursuit Hunting Beetle suddenly accelerated.

    Its wings buzzed violently as it slammed directly onto the scorpion.

    Its six powerful legs pinned the scorpion firmly to the ground.

    Its enormous mandibles immediately clamped down onto the venomous tail.

    Crunch.

    The barb snapped cleanly in half.

    At that point...

    Every one of the kidnappers' combat summoned beasts had been defeated.

    Only the Broadback Crawling Beast remained.

    Shou Wu's face turned deathly pale.

    "It's over..."

    "Boss..."

    "Let's run..."

    The tattooed man ignored him completely.

    There was no point talking to an idiot now.


    ---

    Six summoned beasts...

    Against four.

    Molly had lost two combat beasts.

    Her opponents had lost all four.

    The outcome was beyond doubt.

    A satisfied smile appeared on Molly's face.

    Victory was all that mattered.

    As for injured summoned beasts...

    Her father could always obtain more.

    During the battle, she had already located the kidnappers' hiding place.

    They had nowhere left to escape.

    She was just about to order her summoned beasts to rush in and tear the kidnappers apart...

    When the two men unexpectedly emerged on their own.

    Riding atop the Broadback Crawling Beast...

    They slowly approached her.

    Molly narrowed her eyes.

    "They're surrendering?"

    A cold smile spread across her face.

    "No..."

    "I'll feed every last one of you..."

    "...to my little darlings."

    There was no chance she intended to let these scum leave alive.
