Chapter 2021
The skull of the Mystic Sky Guild elite who was just teasing Kat seconds ago exploded like a watermelon, splashing blood and brain all over those around him. At the same time, Frank had shoved Kat to the ground, even as she was still gaping at the man who had just been joking around with her moments ago. And now, moments later, he was but a headless corpse.
"You... bastards!" Kat struggled to get to her feet, ready to kill whoever it was as her shock turned to rage.
However, she was not going to get the chance to when this entire place was a trap prepared by Josh.
Just as she got to her feet, she was sent flying by a grenade's explosion.
"Kat!"
Frank felt the grenade blowing up beside him too, and the ensuing shockwave blew away two other Mystic Sky Guild elites.
"Princess... Mr. Lawrence... Run!" One of them had his body blown off from the waist down, but he pushed away Kat as hard as she could to Frank's side. "Run, chief!"
"It's a trap! You have to run now!"
The other Mystic Sky Guild elites were yelling at Frank too, and he could lip-read them even if he could not hear them amid the explosions.
However, he could hear Josh laughing over the phone just fine.
"Hahaha... That's for fucking with me, Frank Lawrence! You will have all the time to regret it when you're dead!"
Bang!
Another large grenade blew up beside Frank, and he leapt toward Kat, shielding her in his arms as the blast sent them flying again.
He crashed and rolled on the ground miserably, and he saw that the grenade had burned off his shirt, leaving slight cuts and bruises. Fortunately, his physique was tough enough now that the grenades would not hurt him much.
Kat was not that lucky, however.
Narrowing his eyes, Frank crushed the bothersome phone under his foot before picking Kat up and rushing down the mountain. He did not expect Josh to be that cunning, setting up six Gatling guns at the route where Frank tried to escape.
As soon as Frank skidded down the slope, the soldiers took aim and fired.
Even though Frank raised his hand casting his pure vigor to stop the high-caliber bullets, many

"Fuck! Has Josh lost his mind?!"
Frank's eyes were bloodshot even as he saw hundreds of soldiers, all heavily armed with rifles or explosives.
He shielded Kat even as he fled miserably, rolling on the ground as the occasional bombs sent him flying or scrambling on all fours just as Gatling gun bullets knocked him off balance.
By the time he got off the ridge, he was bloodied from head to toe.
Even his Transcendent rank physique could not withstand all the bombardment, which flattened the ridge where he had been.
However, the commander of the
soldiers was more shocked than et

And yet, he had been watching as Frank kept carrying Kat as he ran despite the rain of artillery, fleeing down the mountain ridge.
It certainly left the commander dumbstruck, as it proved that Frank's body was tougher than a tank!
