" You kids get away from here." Yelena blocked the Acid bullet with her sword which was shining in blue light, not just her sword but her entire body was covered with the light.
" Th-Thank You!" Ben said as he ran backwards.
" Everyone back off I will be dealing with the beast alone, the acid is too dangerous." Because of the light, Yelena was saved while blocking the acid but she could see that some of the soldiers that were hit by it were not even able to get back up.
" You there, you will stay and fight alongside me," Yelena said while looking towards Conan.
" Why? I am getting out of here. It's your problem, deal with it yourself."
" I just saved the life of your friend, at least pay back the favour." Yelena sighed as she looked at Conan, ' Those daggers are special grade weapons, Who is this kid?'
" Hey Conan, Don't be rude and help her, We also need to get out of here alive," Ben shouted from the back.
Meanwhile, the beast was feeling cornered because of Yelena and Conan. Both of them were dangerous and it could tell just by looking at them, its instincts were telling it to run away but at the same time in his head where the crystal was located, something was forcing its will to fight.
The forest was the most appropriate climate for the beast to fight, it has large trees and many places where it could defend itself. It quickly climbed a tree and continuously spit five to seven acid bullets at random toward the direction of the guards.
The guards were running here and there to save their lives, the beast jumped from one tree to another.
" Damn it, how do we corner it?" Yelena said.
" I will chase it," Conan replied. " Make sure you find the right opportunity to kill it."
" Hey, don't approach it recklessly, that acid is too dangerous." Yelena snapped after hearing this stupid plan, " And also we are not allowed to kill it–"
Yelena was telling him that when suddenly Conan ran towards a large tree and jumped on one of the bumps of one tree and then from there he grabbed a branch of another tree. Like that from one branch to another, he reached the top.
" Woah! Cool!" Ben had his hand on his mouth after seeing this in amazement. " He is like Tarzan."
The beast seeing this jumped from one tree to another but Conan was faster, he moved faster than it despite it having a natural advantage. The beast seeing this threw another acid bullet which was faster and bigger.
" You think you can get me with just that." Conan teased the beast as he jumped from one tree to another. The beast was running for her life, on the ground Yelena was following them sneakily and they moved away from the other guards and Ben.
The beast was trying to attack Conan once again but before it could, he fell from the tree because the branch it was standing on was cut by Yelena. Not just that the light slash cut through several other branches before disappearing.
Yelena took out a coin-sized disk and threw it over the beast as soon as it fell. The disk got stuck like a magnet over the beast and gave it a minor electric shock. The beast didn't give in so Yelena threw two more until finally, it was half unconscious and unable to move.
Conan got down from the tree and looked at Yelena amazed by the light she was emitting. Yelena was a beautiful woman in her twenties, her black hair fluttered with blue light and her blue eyes were captivating which made them more beautiful when the light covered them.
' She can use this much light and only a guard captain of this backward city.' Conan thought as he can not comprehend why someone so powerful would be here.
" Thank You," Yelena said as she turned toward Conan after carefully restraining the beast. " Can you please carry it for me? My team is scattered in the forest, you just have to take it to where we were before."
" Fine," Conan said as he went to grab the beast by his leg. " Is it alright if I drag it instead of carrying–, Aargh!"
Just as Conan grabbed the leg and was ready to drag the beast he felt an electric shock and stammered for a bit. It was Yelena who had used those electrifying disks again. After Conan stammered she threw one more and gave him a bigger electric shock which made him limp and unable to move his body.
" Well, you need to be punished as well," Yelena said as she put a handcuff on Conan. After that, she took the daggers that Conan was using, " I was right, these are special grade weapons."

* Thud*
Some guards threw Conan in the back of their jeeps. Ben was also sitting there with handcuffs in his hands, he could see that Conan was slowly gaining consciousness and waited for him to fully wake up.
" Umm, You awake," Ben asked, Conan, raised his head in reply, " Hehe, I didn't think they will be able to catch you as well. I was kinda hoping that you would come to save me."
" She fooled me, haha." Conan laughed in reply.
" You two look too happy, is there still something I should be careful about you two." Yelena also came in the Jeep alone as the Jeep's engine started and it flew two meters above the ground.
" Oh, Great Goddess, You saved my life from that beast, we were too foolish to act like this. Please spare us, we shall turn a new leaf, we promise." Ben Pleaded in his way but was met with a punch on the face, one of his teeth even fell to the ground.
" Hacking in the Security system of the city, getting out of the city while being a normal citizen of the City and carrying a firearm. These are your crimes, am I right Ben Lupin or did I miss anything?" She had a very calm but scary face.
" And you, Cutting the hands of an Official guard of the city and also being the accomplice in all of this, they are your crimes, right?" Yelena got closer to Conan and grabbed his hair and lifted his head.
" You want to die!" Conan looked straight into her eyes, his red eyes made Yelena flinch, she was going to punch Conan too but changed her mind.
" Who are you?" Yelena asked, " Your name wasn't even in any records of the city and you carry those special grade weapons."
" Find out for yourself, I do not need to talk and also what about you, why is someone like you even here in this backward city."
" My choice! I do not need to tell you." Yelena replied in the same way. However, the next second something unexpected happened.
