Yelena instructed the hostages toward the path Ben had told her. She was worried about something happening to him but at the same time, she believed that he might have a plan.
Unlike Conan who rushes into a fight without fear, Ben is too conscious when it comes to taking such risks. Currently, Ben was hiding in a nearby building and was surveying everything.
The Backup of the criminals came too fast but that wasn't the problem as soon as the first group of them entered the building a blast occurred and the building started to fall, making the criminals get buried under the debris.
It caused the commotion, and the criminals started to hide but Ben's bugs flew towards them and as they reached their heads they self-destructed consecutively and the remaining men also fell due to being injured because of this small blast.
" Damnit, there are still some left." Ben clicked his tongue as nothing was coming to his mind. Now he only had his pistol and mini car robot, He was using it to monitor the nearby areas of the place.
' I have no idea what to do, am I going to die?' He thought but still kept looking at the movements of the Criminals. ' Right, I should just find the boss and knock him out, but there is nothing that seems different among them.'
*Clank*
Suddenly a bullet hit the metal structure where Ben was hiding.
' A sniper.' Ben was surprised to find this. Now enemies even knew his location and also that he was alone. They started to move and soon came too close to him.
' Well, It's now or never.' Ben's body was covered in a golden yellow Aura, that even made his eyes shine. ' I can not use aura to attack but at least it would protect me against normal bullets.' He thought but the aura was fluctuating over his body.
He moved and the group of criminals started to fire, Ben, moved closer to the force behind the bullets was painful but so far nothing caused a mortal wound. He fired the electric disk at one of the enemies giving them a shock, and then consecutively the same thing until a bullet hit his stomach.
" Aaarrgh!" Ben shouted and stumbled on his leg but this made his aura suddenly burst out protecting him from the follow-up free fire by the criminals.
" Not like this!" He fired his pistol, getting rid of the last remaining criminals who came to finish him off.
' It's just a scratch, good thing the bullet is not inside. But what was that Aura, I should ask Conan.' Ben took out a bottle containing some kind of liquid and started to drink from that.
[ Are you okay?] Yelena's voice rang in his earbuds. [ I am coming to help.]
" There is only one left now. Carefully come, it's a sniper." He informed Yelena and saw his wound was getting healed because of the effect of the potion but he was staggering due to low health.
[ There were so many, now only one is left?] Yelena questioned, she was shocked but tried to sound calm. [ How are you?]
" Please handle this, save the girl." He told Yelena and fainted after saying these words.
[...You are not dead, are you?]

" Knox, Where is that boy?"Zosia asked.
" I killed that brat, he dares look at me that way," Knox said. " I–"
Before Knox even finished saying anything he fell to the ground with his legs, hand and head severed in different pieces.
The other warriors of light felt a shiver run through their entire bodies because of how quickly this happened. They all wanted to run away from Zosia because right now she seemed different. They didn't know that in her anger she would kill without a thought and underestimated her.
" You think I will tolerate something like that, YOU, EVIL DOER WILL DIE." Even though she had already killed him, she still stabbed her sword several times.
" He is dead, My Lady He Is Dead, You Can Stop Now," Vena shouted to calm her down. " Let's save the boy he is bleeding too much."
Zosia came to her senses and walked toward the boy who was fatally attacked by Knox when he tried to stop him from destroying the things Ben and Yelena had left in their room. A golden light left her hand and covered the entire body of the boy. However, even then the boy didn't gain any vitality and remained still.
" Vena, they killed him, They deserve to die."
" My Lady, please calm down. We will have them punished, the other chosen will listen to you, please bear with it. We have to join the war if you want to kill them then they can die there. However, you should not get involved with the elders because of this. Your oath will make you submit to their wishes no matter what and they might execute you like sir Elrick." Vena said trying to calm Zosia.
" What did that little boy even do to them?" Zosia cried. " If only I had killed Knox before, then this innocent boy would have still been alive."
" No one knew that Knox would do such a thing, he didn't fear your wrath because of being related to Elders. It's not your fault."
