Chapter 534 The King And His Clean-Up Crew
His voice was sarcastic and more than a little condescending, but Mark didn't allow that to affect him. Mark knew that Alpha Two was from the government, so he wouldn't be on Mark's side with this plan no matter what.
After all, Henry already said that he didn't want Mark to take the anima to the northern part of the country, so Mark doing this was basically him giving a middle finger to the government.
Mark spoke up calmly.
"The monster is after me. If I expose myself and draw its attention, then it'll follow me. The only thing is that I won't be able to watch the area and the other superhumans while drawing it to City H. It'll be too hectic for me to look out for anything like that. That's where the rest of you come in. I need you all to make sure the other superhumans don't get killed when I'm focused on the monster.
Also, try to keep the damage to the area to a minimum."
Ida's thick German accent filtered through the comms with an irritated undertone in it.
"So we are just your cleanup crew?"
Mark nodded without bothering to acknowledge the disbelief in her voice.
"Until we get to City H, yes, you are. This isn't the first time I've faced something like this. It's smarter than regular anima, so anything but a direct approach will not work against it. Just do what I say until then, and I can assure you we will win. I swear it on my soul."
The comms all went silent at such a declaration. It almost felt like Mark was talking about something far more intense than just this battle, and they knew that Mark was not playing around at all.
They had no idea that Mark had literally bet his soul on this and that he had no choice but to win.
Mark was betting everything on this plan and was more than certain that he would be able to kill the monster if they went ahead with this.
The first person to agree to the plan, unsurprisingly, was Luna. The first time Mark heard her talk through the comms, a sudden rush of relief ran through his body, and he could almost feel a small smile tugging at the edge of his mouth. Mark felt glad to hear her voice again.
"I agree to the plan. It seems like the most sensible way to deal with things over here. The Moonlight Guild is at the Vanguard Guild's disposal. The Vanguard Guild can use them in moving the smaller anima around however you want while we're dealing with the Armageddon."
Once Luna agreed, the other ELITE Rankers seemed to also find their voice as they decided that it would not hurt to follow Mark's plan. No one else had a better plan for now, and since Mark was sure that this plan would lead to the least number of casualties, they didn't have any right to just disregard it.
"Luna, make sure your guild members are with Arit when she is holding the anima back. She won't be able to fight for long if she's using up her mana to act as a wall for us. That's enough talk. From here on, listen to my vice captain's words down to the T. He's our eyes and ears, and one mistake on your part could fuck everything up."
Luna accepted the order, and Ida did as well, although she was a lot less trusting of the entire plan. Alpha Two grumbled, Alec remained silent, and Arit spoke up to Mark.
"Be careful, Mark."
Mark narrowed his eyes at the giant monster before stepping close to the edge of the building and increasing his aura to insane levels. Everyone in ELITE Rank immediately felt their stamina, power, and mana levels rising rapidly.
Luna was already used to feeling this increase in power whenever she was fighting alongside Mark, so she wasn't that surprised by it, but the rest of them were completely shocked to realize that their fatigue and tiredness were gone!

Mark fixed his gauntlets as the Armageddon turned to him and roared in anger.
"Let's get this show started."
