When we reached the main floor, we saw that Gina was waiting for us, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. Around him were thousands of panicked adventurers, arguing and shouting about how they were going to get out of there with virtuality intact.“How are you? I asked, walking over and gesturing for Greek and Dagon to keep them back from getting too close, just in case."I've lost my nerve," he replied, jaw clenched. Still, she was beautiful. Sorry guys, but I want you to understand that this is not just a game. If the Leproiners manage to get hold of Allsium, real life will be hell for their opponents. He looked at all of us and sighed. If I lose virtuality, I don't know what will happen to me in reality, but I won't allow Leproiner to take me alive, do you understand me?Gina would rather die than live a life like the one Greek led in reality. Even so, she lived in a caravan and moved from time to time, in case the Leproiners found her; it was a clear example of paranoia
"You must get used to finishing fights quickly," Gina scolded them both. This is not a video game, capito ? He made a very Italian gesture with his hand that made Greek raise his eyebrows. And you, big guy, should be more expeditious if you don't have the agility to run after anyone.“What does that mean? “asked.Gina raised her eyebrows and sighed."That you finish the job in one or two strokes," I clarified. Before he thinks of running away, he must already be dead."Or no legs," Greek murmured with a low laugh.“Whatever,” Gina said again, “but we can't waste time. The only one who has approved has been Gunner.Dagon and Greek clucked in disapproval when they saw him give them the victory gesture. For once he could get his chest out he wasn't going to let it go."We'll cross the river and avoid combat, you hear me?" He said it looking at Greek, of course. There will be nervous beasts that will try to attack us, so we will try to avoid them.That was going to be difficult. In additi
Harpy materialized just in time to take off and prevent me from crashing to the ground. I thanked him and he squawked with delight.I thought for a moment about what options I had, and in all of them I wondered why the hell I hadn't taken off with Gina and Dagon. I came to the conclusion that, when faced with difficult situations, nothing better than doing things in a big way."Thank you, Harpy!" I said as I jumped to the foot of the ridge the Allsionistas were beginning to climb. The rest of the place was abuzz with adventurers fighting against each other; the heartbreaking music of a war that threatened to take away thousands of travelers.I landed on the ground, cracks opening up under my feet. The extra strength was amazing. Although there was no time to throw flowers, because I was immediately surrounded by Allsionista with a thirst for blood."He's one of the leader's bodyguards!" shouted an Afronist. Let one group go up and finish off the other!"Nobody's going to get past here
The remaining Kurayami members in the clearing near the hillside managed to dispatch the last remaining Allsionistas. They let those who didn't put up a fight flee, and created a security fence so that Greek, Robert, and I could leave combat mode behind and travel to the planet where Gina had gone to meet Adam Leproiner.Robert didn't want to tell us because it was top secret. It was an unbreakable rule that no one was informed of the travels of Gina, the second in command after the leader, according to Robert.Gina was too smart and controlled Kurayami from the shadows. He managed to have complete freedom while millions of supporters of the cause did his dirty work. From an ethical point of view, I didn't know if it was worthy of praise, but it had a lot of merit.While we waited, Robert did not stop talking about her. I had her idealized. He didn't even realize that he was giving him as much or more importance than the leader, of whom he said nothing. It was so absurd that he hadn't
The show had started. From the very center of the garden a gate opened, lifting an enormous base of operations skyward. Many seated people appeared, around twenty of them, and they kept hammering their holographic keyboards while exchanging impressions. It seemed that nothing that happened around them was with them and not even ascending to the top of Neo Terra prevented them from distracting themselves from their work."This is my boys," Leproiner said, gesturing toward the platform. They are the team of hackers that will take us directly to the New World.The platform finished moving and was just above our heads, in full view of all the other guests. A large metal spiral staircase then unfolded, inviting Leproiner to join his hackers."I'll be with you right away," said the tycoon, joking with his guests.The wealthy Allzionists applauded their leader, whose graceful walk didn't break down even as he climbed the steps that led him to change the world.I didn't know what to do, but I
It didn't take anything more to say to find my back sagging as I was forced to dodge his fist. It was heading straight for my face with excruciating speed, without hesitation or condescension. I barely managed to parry the second blow, a kick to my side that smashed into an arm that came up automatically. She spun around and swept me with her legs, and I fell to the ground on my back and was upright, but she had done it before and I didn't see the soles of her ninja shoes coming. He threw me back ten feet and as I stopped I felt my mouth taste of blood. I had no choice but to spit and watch the weeds under my feet turn red; it was hard to believe that at this point in the movie Fire had not yet come to my aid.The beast was right behind Gina, crouching, its face shadowed with rage, its fangs bared, its fur bristling so bristly it seemed like thousands of volts were running through its body. Fire was caught in Gina's Binding , so I was forced to cancel the summon.It was no coincidence
"Family is not chosen," I commented without really knowing why. Sometimes friends are more faithful."That's right," he replied. But not the Leproiner family.It was so superb that I thought I'd summon Rexie to eat it in one bite."The Leproiner family is very close... because of the account that brings them," he said, smiling.Adam Leproiner had to lead it with an iron hand. What would he not do to his own family seeing how he treated the Allsionistas who revered him so much."I don't care about your family," I replied. You are the root of all problems."What are you going to do now, kid?" he asked with a smug half smile. You have postponed the data dump. I must admit that I didn't expect something like this to happen, but my hackfronists will continue the work. It won't be today, maybe not tomorrow either, but it won't be long before they take us to the New World.There were two possibilities: kill Leproiner on the spot and send him back to reality, or wait for his hackers to take u
After the storm came the calm, they used to say.Whoever came up with the phrase didn't have to put up with Gina's string of curse words when I finished explaining everything that happened to her about Adam Leproiner: from our talk about his plans to the information about his family's legendary paths and even his abrupt and mysterious death at the hands of a shadow. The latter, not happy with the murder of the tycoon, also wanted to kill me. And he almost did it except for the brilliant idea of throwing me down the stairs.Actually, I didn't know if it was chasing me or it was my lucubrations, but I didn't get rid of the feeling until I landed on my legs after a long fall.I had to lie down on the grass while Gina put me in the broth to relax my muscles. I didn't care that Neo Terra's eternal rain was soaking me to the bone."So that bastard is dead, huh?" It wasn't a question, it was already the fourth or fifth time Gina had repeated it."And Greek and Dagon?" “I asked for.“They are
