"Is this all you have?" said Baba Yaga after having burnt her second victim to death, stepping on the black, burnt corpse.

The victim was a guy who called himself 'Odin' and had claimed that he could see a few seconds into the future, but he had been defenseless against a heat attack that he couldn't see. He had been easily disposed of after his companion, Sylphid.

It was comical that a man named after a valiant god of Northern Europe had been burnt to death by a witch.

Baba Yaga, who had a sweet appearance for someone who called herself a witch, gave a cynical smile that twisted her face as she spoke into her communications device. "I've dealt with Sylphid, Odin and those other soldiers as well... about ten people in total."

"Confirmed. Ghost has disposed of Super Sense. Marionette and Death Scythe are dead as well," Enma replied immediately, reporting the successful outcomes of their companions' battles. "You don't have to deal with the other soldiers anymore. They're being cornered by Valkyrie's brave soldiers and Izanami's parting gift."

"What happened to Murakami and the others?" Baba Yaga asked.

"There are four left, including Murakami himself. But the surveillance cameras aren't picking up the locations of any of them except for Tsuchiya Kanako. There aren't any signals on the Mana sensors, either, so it's likely that someone is concealing their Mana. It's likely the Aegis."

"Tch, so they've escaped."

The remaining four enemies were the 'Chronos' Murakami Junpei, the 'Venus' Tsuchiya Kanako, the 'Aegis' Melissa J. Sautome and the 'Hecatoncheir' Doug Atlas.

The Bravers had made what abilities each member possessed open information. Using that information as a reference, there should have been none among those four with an ability to conceal their presence.

But these four were those who had left the Bravers and killed their own former companions at the request of others. It was likely that they had a secret trick or two up their sleeves.

There was a woman with the Inspection ability that allowed her to see through all kinds of falsehoods among the former companions who had been killed, but there had likely been ways to get past it.

In fact, Kaidou Kanata had been concealing his crimes from the eyes of the woman with 'Inspection.'

"So, what should we do? Should we kill Venus? Or if Murakami and the others are somewhere in the base, should we blow ourselves up and take the whole base with us while we can?" Baba Yaga suggested.

The base was entirely underground except for the entrances via the subway system. And the final objective of the Eighth Guidance was death.

Naturally, the base had a self-destruct mechanism installed.

The reason it hadn't been used up until now was because there had been the chance that Murakami and the others would be able to escape it with their abilities.

"No. It seems that the Bravers have arrived on the ground surface, so if we're going to detonate ourselves, it will be after they enter the base. Let us save the rest for when the situation becomes helpless," said Pluto's voice.
