Start By Becoming Mangaka 848 Counterattack 2 (Patreon)

Issei looked out the window at one of the hotel rooms. He could see a lot of creepy guys wearing black robes looking at them. He couldn't see their faces but he could feel the amount of hostility that was sent toward them. 

Each one had a big scythe in their hands, with a very bad taste of accessories on it. They had things such as skulls and monster hands on them. Just one glance at their scythes tells you that they were bad guys.

Grim Reapers. The loyal dog and subordinates of the God of Death, Hades. They gathered together to assist the Hero Faction in this artificial space.

Everyone knew that Hades had become their enemies after this God of Death had decided to attack them blatantly without any authority. 

They were discussing their plans to escape from this artificial space. 

"The three ways are the following. The first way is for the caster, in this case, Georg, to unseal the dimension himself. This is from the battle in Kyoto. The second way is to enter and exit forcefully. This is what Le Fay, the first Sun Wukong, and Yu-long pulled through. As I explained before, this is impossible unless you are an exceptionally experienced caster. Right now Le Fay can only do this once more while taking a limited number of people with her. It will be impossible to enter or exit the space a third time using Le Fay's technique. Georg must have made the barrier even stronger now. "

Azazel explained to them the three ways to escape from this place. He thought that both Xenovia and Irina should escape from this artificial space to ask for reinforcement to help them to fight and informed the other three factions about this matter. 

They nodded and didn't mind to go along with this plan. 

"The last one is simple and clear. We either defeat the caster or destroy the central point supporting this barrier," Azazel said. 

They knew that the last plan was simple since they only needed to find the key-point or the device to destroy this artificial place.

'The problem is finding the location of this key-point.' 

They thought inwardly. 

"The ones who can fight are me, Koneko-chan, Kuroka, Kiba, Issei, and Sensei, then," Akeno said. 

Azazel nodded, "Yeah, there will be only six of us who can fight against them." He smiled and asked, "Are you scared?" 

Akeno smirked, "I can't wait to destroy them...." Her body bristled with electricity which made everyone around them shudder. She had been very annoyed for a while and couldn't wait to let out all of her stress into this fight. She sighed and wanted him to come back as soon as possible, 'What makes him entangled this late?' 

"Let's do the ultimate magic together, nyaa," Kuroka said. 

Koneko nodded in response. 

Akeno, Kuroka, and Koneko had been given magical items from him and it was possible for them to combine their magic. 

The number of Grim Reapers that were attacking them was numerous. 

They needed to do big magic to solve those Grim Reapers along with the people from the Hero Faction. 

"That's a very dependable word," Azazel nodded. 

Vali, who was resting in bed, said, "Oi, use this." He gave the hilt ornament to Asia.

"This?" Asia was startled by his action since she knew that Vali used this magical item to ease the pain in his body. 

"Use it to support everyone," Vali said. 

Asia nodded in response. She held the hilt ornament and knew that she could use this to support her comrades further. 

Then after dividing their role, they started to search for the key point of this artificial space. 

Kuroka and Le Fay worked together using their senjutsu and magic to locate the location of the key-point or device that was used to create this artificial space. 

They had similar experiences in the past when Asia had been kidnapped by Diodora in the past. They had been trapped in the artificial space too only that time they had received help from a lot of people but this time their members were limited and some of them were wounded after fighting with Cao Cao. 

Kuroka and Le Fay put a piece of paper down on the floor of the room along with a map of the hotel. They put a few blocks (it has the shape of a human or animal, and a crane by bending paper) on it, and they were going to make an 'eye' on the outside. They started to write devil letters on the map and made mysterious chants, they also spread mysterious ashes to complete the spell. 

Le Fay who was closing her eyes, moved her hands towards the map. The crane started to shake and move, the devil letters started to glow, and the ashes started to move on their own, making a strange symbol. She took a deep breath then said, "There is one in the car park. Another one on the roof. And another one on the second floor of the hotel in the hall room. In total, I have confirmed three barrier devices. And they have the shape of a snake. "

"No. A statue of Uroboros that is biting its tail with its mouth."

Azazel nodded and took the paper, "So the barrier devices we have to destroy are the statues of Uroboros. And there are three of them. Looks like this will be a hard job. This artificial space is specially created to have Ophis remain here. This would have been nothing to the normal Ophis. Georg must have created this barrier space already knowing that Ophis would have had her power reduced as part of their plan. Now Le Fay. What's happening with the devices? Did the number of Grim Reapers increase from before?"

Le Fay nodded, "Yes Governor. Grim Reapers gather at the locations of all the devices. More like they are spread out everywhere except on this floor. They are even present in the corridor. It seems like most of them are gathered in the car park. Cao Cao-sama has already left this place, but Siegfried-sama is here instead. Georg-sama is also in the car park."

"Then, without waiting, let's start our plan now!" Azazel said. 

"Yes, Sensei!"
