I regressed and became the Sword Ice King

"A free zone?" Elsie asked with a startled tone.

They were currently surrounded by tall, incomplete buildings and the people located here were either scurried inside or running away from the area as a whole.

Raph had noticed it along his way here, but oftentimes, he would notice collapsed buildings and depressions that were unnatural.

"I see….so there are areas that aren't under the control of the Five leaders?" He asked with a sigh.

"Yes ... .these places are called Free Zones…and most of the Leaders have access to this place".

Raph palmed himself in realization. "Well, our identities are going to be revealed sooner or later, though, the Cat guild…."

"Let us worry about that later" Merthy instructed as the figures surrounding them began to approach carefully, their black figures seemingly warping from one direction to another.

"These are Neuj's girls".

"Oh? Those weaklings". Raph asked as the group began to huddle up. Their gazes sweep through the area to locate the girls in question.

"Don't be deceived by their gender" Cartwyn said with an annoyed tone laced in her voice.

Raoj chuckled in response. "That's funny…their gender is the last thing I need to focus on right now". He said while Elsie began to growl lightly.

"We should attack before giving them the chance to". She said,

".....no, we shouldn't". Merthy muttered as her thoughts reeled in. An idea popped in at that moment, and her gaze scanned their surroundings for something else, something that could help in their goal.

'We don't have much time with Raffaelo, so we have to make the most out of him'. She thought. 'Why don't we start an urban legend'.

"...Hey, Kael?" She called.

Rapj raised a brow in curiosity and glanced at his left. "Yeah?"

At that moment fifteen figures emerged from the shadows, their faces hidden behind a mask, with black uniforms wrapped around their figures. They exuded blood lust, as they pulled out their weapons.

"You see, the Five leaders aren't considered good people in this place". Merthy explained as the fifteen women began to close in.

"...And?" Raph raised a brow in confusion, though his thoughts were piecing what she was about to say together.

At that moment, she grabbed Elsie and Cartwyn at the same time.

"You can handle all this by yourself, right?"

'Shit' He muttered, before a portal suddenly opened in front of Merthy, who rushed into it with Elsie and Cartwyn.

"Hey!" Elsie retaliated, but the portal had closed behind her by the time she figured out what was happening.

Raph sighed. "That bitch".

The fifteen women continued to encircle him, their gazes locked on him while he remained still for a moment.

Raph could get an idea of what Merthy wished for him. There were people currently watching, and these people considered the Five leaders as their enemies, so what if there was someone new, someone different, who stood out for them? Like an urban hero?

Well, that was what Raph figured out; the rest he would have to ask Merthy directly.

"You're all alone". One of the girls said, her voice echoing in the silence.

Raph's gaze shifted towards her, and the rest of the group that surrounded him.

Seven approached him on the ground, while the rest remained on the buildings, holding an arrow, a gun or any other form of projectile.

He could even spot mages, fire and lightning to be specific.

It seemed like a difficult thing to fend against. After all, it was one against fifteen, but….' They're weak…level 70 to 80'. With only three masters.

One was currently leading the group on the ground towards him, holding a dual sword.

Two short blades with ragged edges that would leave a troubling wound if they were to strike him, and two other masters that stood on the top of the incomplete buildings. One a Fire mage and the other, a lightning mage.

'Well, this is interesting'. He thought with a slight chuckle when the woman suddenly stopped.

His gaze shifted around them until the one with the highest level said with a stern tone in her voice.

"Attack".

Before the seven women could even move a muscle, a rippling energy occurred, as Raph suddenly pulled his longsword from his storage ring while his aura exuded a force around him.

The force caused the girls to freeze on the spot for a few seconds, but those seconds were precious to Raph.

He stumped his foot on the ground and charged in like a wisp of light, appearing in front of the girl farthest from him like a lightning bolt.

His sword fell from the skies like a guillotine towards the Girl, causing a stream of fear to rush through the girl's body.

She tensed up and attempted to use her staff to block, but it was too late; his sword came crashing down and slicing the girl from her right shoulder through her body to her left side. A sickening sound of bone and flesh being sliced echoed as blood gushed out like a waterfall into the air.

The sight sent a wave of panic through the girls, but that wasn't stopping Raph, as he moved to his next target, slicing off her head before she could even react.

He had to admit, the sensation of killing people was far from that of demons, so why did he decide to do such? It was to send a message.

The message is that Raph would stand for these people and what they do. To show his brutality against them, and to help build an image for himself within the town.

Not to mention, he was about done with letting people, who would simply strengthen themselves and come look for him when they're done, go. A good example was Cruz, who was still out there.

He ignored his thoughts for now, and simply killed. His sword sliced the women before they could even exclaim or shout out in shock until he reached the sixth.

His aura force didn't have as much potency as it did, and they were finally free to move properly. Without even wasting time, they did, with the level 80 double welder standing in front.

"Mages! Archers! Gunmen! Do your thing!" She exclaimed when a crackling sound echoed through the air.

Raph's gaze shifted to his right as he forced his body to the left, dodging a lightning strike that caused a crater on the ground.

He jumped into the air as the lightning streamed through the ground like a serpent and suddenly sprung out towards him like an iron spring.

Raph's face contorted slightly in shock as he raised his left hand towards his right and suddenly shot out a ball of fire.

The spell caused a blast of fire that propelled him to the left, dodging the lightning stream by a hair's breadth when he heard a crackling sound by his right.

This sound was a lot familiar, like that of fire burning on wood continuously. His gaze didn't need to shift in that direction for him to know that a Fire spell had been cast on him, and he quickly ducked. A fire blast shot out over his head, slamming into an incomplete building, and causing A fire that began to spread hazardously.

'Shit'. He called, when a shift of the air occurred, as he felt a presence above him.

His gaze shifted upwards to find the dual welder sending her sword downwards towards him with her might. She groaned in anger as she slammed it down while Raph swung his sword up, causing a clash of weapons and an explosion of energy that pushed the girl backwards.

A soft groan escaped her lips, but the counter had startled her actions, causing a wide opening and Raph wasn't about to let it go.

He charged in with his sword thrusting forward when he heard a loud sound like an explosion. His body over instinctively and his sword swung to his left, blocking a bullet that bounced off with great force.

He groaned slightly as his gaze whipped upwards in annoyance.

A whizzing sound echoed, and he was forced to change directions as an arrow inserted into the ground like a knife through butter.

'Those bastards!' Raph cursed as he charged upwards towards the women. At that point, the fire that was caused had begun to spread to other buildings, and a loud cry echoed in the air. Not the cry of a warrior about to attack, but a genuine cry of a child caught up in the flames.

Raph stopped in his tracks to recognize the sound, and his body whipped towards the direction.

To his left was a building where the fire blast had struck, and surrounding it were the buildings that were getting caught in it.

Sadly for him, he didn't know water magic much, and he couldn't affect it as he would hope to. But that didn't stop him from charging in, no, not at all.

With fire brewing in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and headed towards the direction of the child without a second thought.
