49. The Blooming of the Empire's First Rose, as Dark as the Night (This Chapter Deserves Monthly Tickets and Applause)

Charles clutched his magic alchemy wand but didn't move; he was hesitating whether to shoot at Lord Leo right now. A thought entered his mind: "Machu Picchu has completed the maze-ification."

He smiled faintly, urged the Bloody Glory, but deliberately suppressed it to Second Order, and then followed out of the fortress. It didn't take long for Lord Leo to pull far ahead of him.

While pretending to run for his life, he kept an eye on the sky and sure enough, saw several black dots hovering.

Charles thought to himself, "Those must be Lord Leo's Blood Bats. With those guiding him, no wonder he runs so fast."

Every time Charles was about to lose the chase, Lord Leo would intentionally stop to wait for him. After running for more than two hours, they heard the dense gunfire resembling popping beans in the distance.
