The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 25: Cooperating with Rowan

It didn't take long for Natas' prediction to happen.

Multiple holes were consequently formed around the Pest Killing Machine in the center, which was evidently Raul's strategy to prevent Rowan Starlight from escaping once again. Moreover, the viewing platform right above the machine also already has a few souls prepared for the latter in case he thinks of escaping through there.

To put it simply, there was no way for Rowan Starlight to escape anymore.

However, despite that helpless situation, no panic could still be seen on Rowan Starlight's face. It was as if everything is all according to his plan.

Seeing that, Raul didn't let down his guard. He decided to destroy the gadgets that provided the shield for the Pest Killing Machine first instead of carelessly charging toward Rowan Starlight just because he has the latter surrounded on all sides.

However, to Raul's surprise, the barrel of the Pest Killing Machine suddenly started changing its target. Following the trajectory of where it was pointing, it didn't take him long to discover that it was now directed straight toward him. What's even worst was, he sent all the summoned souls to attack while leaving only Carlos and his goons to protect him.

It was only at this moment that Raul finally realized that what he actually thought to be an opportunity and advantage for him was actually all just a trap.

In the next moment, a bullet-proof glass instantly encases Rowan Starlight inside, which prevented anyone from reaching him.

With that, all the effort that Raul had invested in destroying the second turtle shell of Rowan Starlight turned useless since a third one appeared. And it's even as annoying as the first turtle shell.

Regardless though, Raul didn't feel anxious. He straight away decided to order half of the souls that got inside the shield to charge toward the Pest Killing Machine with the order to destroy it while the remaining half would stay to destroy the gadget that prevented the rest from attacking. At the same time, he also summoned more souls from his Sitan's Ring to act as his shield.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

In the following moment, dozens of nets were shot toward the direction of Raul.

Booom!

Booom!

Booom!

The dozens of souls that Raul had just finished summoning instantly got incapacitated.

"Shit!" Raul felt a bit agitated as he hastened his summoning of more souls to shield him.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Booom!

Booom!

Booom!

Unfortunately, the speed of firing of the Pest Killing Machine was a lot faster compared to the speed of Raul summoning his souls with the Sitan's Ring. Because of that, a few goons of Carlos could only be helplessly sacrificed to the nets. Well, that was part of their purpose from the very beginning — to be cannon fodders.

Meanwhile, Kayn has already finished his preparation to help Rowan Starlight.

"What are you waiting for?" Natas felt slightly anxious at Kayn delaying his action. The fight has already reached its climax. If Kayn still doesn't make a move soon, then there might no longer be any opportunity to do so later on. "Go!"

"Just wait a bit more," Kayn shook his head. This was not yet the opportunity to launch his surprise attack as Raul, Carlos and his goons are closely observing their surroundings to defend against the nets. Also, he needs to look for the perfect time when the Pest Killing Machine slows down its shooting. Otherwise, he might accidentally get caught by the net instead, which will render all of their efforts ultimately useless.

"If only I knew that this was Rowan's final card, then I would have executed my sneak attack a long time ago," Kayn slightly regretted his prior choice. They have wasted their time looking for the perfect opportunity to launch a surprise at Raul that they failed to take into consideration what Rowan Starlight might do next. In the end, the latter's plan is now preventing him from having any chance to attack.

Of course, he can't solely blame himself because they have been wasting time all this moment. After all, they didn't come here prepared for anything. That was the exact reason in the beginning why they can't make any rush moves, as they fear affecting the already determined outcome of Raul's defeat. If they end up affecting negatively, then Rowan Starlight would be the one in big trouble.

"I only have one way left," Kayn turned to look at Rowan Starlight and observed where the latter was looking at. After doing so, he calculated the range of Rowan Starlight's vision as he then made some small noticeable actions to get his attention.

"What are you doing?!" Natas was greatly alarmed at Kayn's action.

"I need to cooperate with Rowan," Kayn explained. Although even if he doesn't do anything Rowan Starlight would still beat Raul now that the latter had fallen into the trap. That would also mean their plan of making Rowan Starlight their ally sooner would fail. He doesn't want that, so he has to do something. And this is the only way he could think about.

Natas quickly understood the reason behind Kayn's action. He could only hope deep inside that it will succeed.

Fortunately, not long after, Rowan Starlight finally noticed Kayn right above Raul.

"Eh? Who is that man?" Rowan felt curious about what an unknown person was doing here. "No! More importantly, I think he is trying to give me a signal for something that can help me,"

Although he doesn't trust the unknown person a single bit and was also doubtful of his existence, Rowan still decided to observe Kayn closely enough that it won't affect his onslaught toward Raul. Thankfully, the latter was giving him familiar hand signals that they were taught about in the Starlight Hero Academy, so it made him a bit relieved.

"Ahhh! I understand now!" Rowan nodded his head as he turned his full attention back to Raul. "It seems like heaven is on my side today,"

In the next moment, the barrel of the Pest Killing Machine turned a bit to the right. Raul was still under its range, as a matter of fact, he was now right at the very center of it, but this also means that the suppression at the left side had mellowed down to some degree, which gives an opportunity to someone.

Seeing that Rowan had understood his plan, Kayn immediately prepared himself to jump down to Raul. But before finally doing it though, he made an okay signal to Rowan Starlight.

Rowan Starlight immediately nodded his head after seeing Kayn's signal.

All of a sudden, the firing of the Pest Killing Machine subsided.

"Eh?!" Raul immediately senses the change.

And so, was Carlos, "Don't let your guard down! I suspect that this is another trap,"

"Understood!"

Carlos turned to look at Raul and asked, "Could there be any possibility that Rowan's Pest Killing Machine has run out of ammo?"

"It could be. But considering how cautious he is, I don't think that time is anywhere close," Raul shook his head at the possibility of the Pest Killing Machine running out of ammo this quick.

"Maybe he is preparing for something bigger," Carlos immediately realized.

"I am afraid that could only be the case," Raul agreed with Carlos.

It was exactly what Raul and Carlos had expected. But what they didn't know is that the attack won't actually come from the direction of the Pest Killing Machine.

Without anyone expecting, someone fell from the top of Raul.

That person soon landed in front of Raul, which made the latter unable to process what exactly was going on as his vision was suddenly blocked.

Before Raul could react to the sudden turn of events, he immediately received a punch through his stomach that instantly made him kneel down on the floor while coughing out some saliva. Swiftly following after that, an axe kick landed powerfully on top of his head.

Bang!

Raul's head was forcefully shoved straight to the floor.

Booom!

And as if that wasn't enough yet, Raul was sent tumbling multiple times to the left corner as he suffered from another kick to the right side of his head.

Everything happened seemingly in a blink of an eye. And before anyone could react to what just happened, Raul was already sent away from the center and is now currently lying down on the ground unconscious.

"Who… who are you?!" Carlos was evidently panicked stricken with the unexpected event.

"You seriously don't recognize this face?" Kayn snickered at Carlos.

Carlos quickly recollected his memories of the student of the Starlight Hero Academy and was soon able to identify the identity of the young man that suddenly arrived, "Wait! You're Kayn!"

"Bingo!" Kayn said as he suddenly positioned his body. In the next moment, a low-angle side-piercing kick was sent straight toward Carlos' stomach. "Unfortunately for you, there is no reward!"

Seeing Kayn's attack, Carlos swiftly raised his left foot and left hand at the same time as he holds down the former's foot at the perfect moment it reached in between. "Now that I am on guard, don't expect that I'll be the same as Raul,"

However, to Carlos' surprise, Kayn followed up with a beautiful butterfly kick that lifted him up into the air. He then made an arc right above the former's head before hitting his nape.

Performing that kind of attack would have caused a minimal degree of damage to its target, but considering the fact that Kayn is a bonafide Superhuman, his strength could not be underestimated. Thus, Carlos was forcefully sent walking a few steps to his front after he received the kick, which simultaneously freed Kayn from having one of his feet locked.

Carlos didn't want to drop down to the floor with the loss of his balance in fear of experiencing the same fate as Raul, so he tried his best to straighten up his body using the momentum of his forward walk.

Needless to say, Kayn obviously won't just watch Carlos as the latter tried to regain his posture.

Just when Carlos was close to straightening his body, he suddenly received a strong double kick to his back that immediately sent him stumbling multiple times in front for a brief moment before eventually falling to the floor. The only thing he could hear after that was a piercing whistling sound of the wind above him as he soon felt the pain of a powerful kick landing on his head. After that, everything went black for Carlos.

Similar to Raul, everything happened to Carlos in a quick and successive motion. It was so fast that none of the latter's goons were even able to brace themselves to try and help Carlos after seeing what happened to Raul.
