GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 2260: Two Helpers.

The flamethrowers were the ones to be activated first. Flames fell from the walls of the base and congregated from three directions onto the army.

Only one place was free from the blasting of flames. It was the direction of the main building in the base where Rack is currently fighting for his life. freёnovelkiss.com

This direction became the only escape route for the people in the army. Those who were not incinerated instantly could only escape from this direction, as going in any other direction would make them rush against the flamethrowers.

The rank 4 knights and other powerful rank 3 knights that survived the initial blast of the flames rushed out from the same direction. Unfortunately for them, there were four rank 4 beings standing at the ready to push them back into the flames.

The traveler used rank 1 Speed Boost and was able to run faster than anyone that came up to him. He would then impale them with his spear or push them back into the flames.

The assassin had the help of darkness and Shadow Boost, so he was faster and stronger than anyone who tried to escape. He too didn’t have any difficulty keeping the enemies in the flames.

The Rule Breaker also didn’t have any problems. It can even be said that she had the easiest time sending people back into the flames.

She used her rank 2 divine ability called Confusion that confused her targets. The confused targets lost their sense of direction and judgment of distance. They thought they were running forward, but they were running backward into the flame.

The illusionist didn’t do much. He pushed back anyone who wanted to escape. No one could stop him because they couldn’t sense him.

Not even a traveler with impeccable instincts would be able to sense and stop him. Everyone who was pushed only thought that they had run into an invisible wall.

While this was happening, the second wave of traps was prepared to be activated. These traps were ballistae.

The ballistae shoot large harpoons at targets. Their target is a certain godclad in the army.

This target appears to be rank 1, but he didn’t rush to escape when the flame began to blast the army. Instead, he slapped a piece of metal onto his body.

The piece of metal spread all over his body like liquid and solidified into an armor. It was the armor that protected him from the heat of the flames.

The surface of the armor glowed a faint red because of the heat, but the godclad beneath the armor was mostly safe. He was only hot and sweating profusely. He hasn’t been injured yet.

The sweating wasn’t only because of the heat caused by being roasted by flamethrowers. He was also sweating because he was afraid and panicking.

He said, "I shouldn’t have trusted Rack at all."

He is a rank 5 being, but he is scared for his life right now. He is so scared that he is regretting coming to help Rack.

He is a rank 5 undying godclad. He is also the leader of a gang. He came openly because Rack invited him here.

He and Rack are friends. Rack offered him a sum of money to act as his backup here. He will earn the money even if he doesn’t do anything. But if he does something to help Rack, he will have a share of the properties of the Golden Hammer gang.

He is friends with Rack, and the conditions are attractive, which is why he decided to come here. Unfortunately, even with his power, he doesn’t think that he can turn the situation around. In fact, he doesn’t think he can survive at all.

He wasn’t the only one who came to help Rack. There was also the gang leader of the Smooth Gears gang.

The Smooth Gears gang is the one to the left of the territory of the Golden Hammer gang. Their leader was the one who sent the two assassins last night.

Their leader is a machinist. He is a rank 5 machinist. He was the one who helped compress the gateway into a round, light object. He used his rank 5 divine ability called Machine Compression to achieve it.

He had also been invited to help Rack. He accepted the request because there usually isn’t much enmity between gang leaders. After all, what they are doing is just a job. It is nothing personal.

But he didn’t come with his body. He sent a puppet in his place.

The two assassins he had sent before failed, so he was very cautious. He didn’t dare to come himself for fear of dying. As things turned out, he was right to do so.

The flames had burned the skin of the puppet to reveal the metal beneath the surface. Even the metal was being slowly deformed and melted by heat. After all, he doesn’t have the Aegis shield and other divine abilities to assist him.

But the puppet didn’t try to escape. He only stood in place and looked around intensely. The puppet focused on collecting information. He wasn’t panicked since he couldn’t die here.

These two gang leaders were the only ones standing in the flames. One of them was calm while the other was scared for his life.

The calm one was ready to die, but the uneasy one was unreconciled. The constant and rapid draining of spiritual energy needed to remain alive in the flame only made the uneasy rank 5 undying godclad more uneasy.

Eventually the undying godclad couldn’t take it anymore. He said to the puppet, "If we work together, maybe we can escape."

The puppet didn’t move as it said, "Don’t mind me. I was ready to lose this puppet when I decided to come here. Just go on without me."

The undying frowned and said, "Don’t joke around. You have nothing to lose if you die, so you should have nothing to lose to help me escape."
