Chapter 1385: The Power of Information
Chapter 1385: The Power of Information
"Well, it's time, I guess." Akbar smiled as he finally stopped running.
"You've finally given up. You think you can escape when I'm chasing you around? And it's your people who make a mistake. They shouldn't have sent you to the middle of the battlefield when you can't even protect yourself." Edgard snorted. "The reason you die is because of your people sending you to your death."
"To my death? Not at all. They sent me to the place where I could utilize my strength." Akbar shook his head and pointed at Edgard. "And from now on, I can assure you that you won't be able to do anything."
"I won't be able to do anything? I'll kill you right now!" Edgard roared. His eyes turned bloodshot as his Magic Power flared up, showing his anger.
Akbar's book suddenly shone as Akbar read everything inside the book. "Yes, yes. There is a 100% chance that you will use a cross-slash attack that will fly at me."
"How—" Edgard paused for a moment because he truly wanted to use it.
"Oh! If I were you, I wouldn't do that." Akbar smirked.
"What did you say?" Edgard gritted his teeth and channeled his power into his two daggers before slashing the air to release a powerful strike forward.
But when he was slashing forward, he felt an overwhelming presence coming from behind.
"Wha—" He didn't expect that someone would come over, but it was too late to even do anything.
*Bam!*
"Gah!" Edgard spat a mouthful of blood as he fell to his knees. There was a powerful impact on his back. Even though he managed to cover his back with Magic Power to soften the impact, the power behind it was still too much for his body to handle.
He felt that his consciousness faded for a moment because something hit his spine.
When he glanced at his back, he saw a chain disappearing on the ground as this was the culprit of the attack this time.
"A chain?" Edgard was stunned because Walker was supposed to be fighting their vice-captain.
However, Akbar smiled calmly and stated, "If I use my power to mark you, there is a hundred percent that Walker will notice. Despite his eccentric behavior, his vision is the third widest after Ergene and me. You should run away right now."
"What are you saying?" Edgard gritted his teeth, taking this taunt head-on. He hurriedly released the power that still remained in his daggers.
But the moment he raised his hands, huge crescent-shaped energy flew past them and cut his hands.
"Huh?" Edgard had a horrified expression, not knowing what had happened. But he witnessed how his hands fell to the ground. "A-aaaahhhhhh!"
;
He screamed in pain when he understood what had happened to him.
"I already told you to run away. After that attack, there is an 85% chance that Felix's attack will come to your position because your friend avoids it instead of taking it head-on." Akbar smirked. "After all, that guy is an assassin, and his targets are not only those Mythical Rank Experts before him but all of you, including you."
"Aaaahhhhh!" Edgard tried to endure the pain and find a way to stop Akbar. "You… What are you…"
"I am just a Scout, not worthy of a god like assassin such as yourself." Akbar smiled, mocking Edgard. "I simply gather everyone's information, including you. Due to your personality and job advantage, you will be arrogant and don't heed my advice, so there's a 90% chance that you will do the opposite of what I tell you to do."
Edgard was dumbfounded.
"I know the information of your people as well as my comrades. But the information I have is not simply data regarding your combat power. I also collect your personality, behavior, character, and your daily conduct. All of that data can be used to calculate what will most likely happen in this place. All I need to do is to use their actions to attack you. Don't underestimate information." Akbar smiled as if he could see through everything.
"W-what?! You… You…!" Edgard panicked and desperately grabbed his dagger even if he had to use his mouth. He bit the dagger and threw it with the help of Magic Power to attack Akbar. He needed to distract him before running away from this place.
But when the dagger was about to hit him, a translucent barrier suddenly appeared, covering a wide area. The barrier blocked the dagger effortlessly.
"What? A barrier? No, I should escape." Edgard hurriedly stood up.
"After realizing that you stand no chance against me, you'll become desperate to distract me. But after a few minutes into the battle, there's an 85% chance that your people will leave Ryo and Chris since they couldn't penetrate Ryo's barrier. To prevent them from interfering with others' battles, Ryo has to cast a wide-range barrier to lock them in." Akbar kept reciting everything as if he had calculated everything. "And when you are about to run away…"
Before he finished, a huge burst of flame suddenly struck Edgard's back and burned him.
"Aaaaaahhhh!" Edgard screamed again. He simply couldn't do anything because he got attacked relentlessly from all sides without Akbar even coordinating with them. He simply calculated how they moved and used that information to kill him.
And this last flame came from none other than Coline.
"You shouldn't forget about Coline, who is pissed off because her ingredients are running away. Even though she
is an easy-going person on the surface, she's an insane woman when it comes to ingredients. There is a 95% chance that her flame will go this way." Akbar smirked.
"Gah!" Edgard was burned to a crisp as his consciousness gradually faded from the continuous attack.
"And there is a 100% chance that you'll die if you fight me." Akbar smirked.
"You—" Edgard glared at Akbar in his dying breath.
Akbar made a pistol gesture with his hand and pointed at him while saying with a smug smile. "If you know your enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. You die today because you underestimate information."
