Daemon continued pointing the gun at Leon. The nozzle is directed right at Leon’s face and, as soon as the bastard does anything that Daemon doesn’t like, he’s gonna pull the trigger. Any unnecessary action will result in a bullet through the head. Thankfully, it didn’t need to reach that point as Leon gave a reply.“Hey, what are you talking about? Don’t joke about stuff like this.” Leon said in an amused tone, hands still raised. “I came here as fast as I could to help and you’re suspecting me of being an enemy? That doesn’t sound right don’t you think?”“You reached me without sustaining any kind of injury. I didn’t hear any other source of gunfire as well. Judging by your speed, you didn’t seem to encounter any sort of trouble and you certainly don’t look out of breath.” Daemon said all of these while still pointing the gun straight at Leon’s face.“You may be able to fool others with that poor level of acting of yours. But not me. Everything about your appearance and how you got
While Daemon engaged in the battle against Leon, another fight is about to begin as well. A more intense one with both fighters being thrice as strong as Leon. Naga Kazem stood on one side of the abandoned road. Her gun being thrown away as it would only get in the way of her fight against Polinef Jacques – the second in command of the Viper Gang.The man stands at a solid six foot one in height. He’s got long silver-like hair that’s tied to a high pony and, the features of his face makes him look more feminine than masculine. With the paleness of his skin being naturally hidden by how reddish his cheeks and lips are. The same color of his eyes.His body is as soft spoken as his face. He’s not buff like Desmond and Leon. His frame is a lot more-slim, adding to the idea that he’s actually a woman. If not for the fact that he’s also emitting a very powerful crimson aura.Polinef stood there with a crooked smile growing on his lips. On both his hands are combat daggers, the same weapon o
Polinef didn’t do any change to his pattern of attack. He did the exact same thing. Beginning with the same trick with his dagger and continuing on with subtle diversions. A change of speed and pace which would catch his opponent off guard. He knows that doing the same thing twice won’t work but, nevertheless, he used the same pattern with another surprise in mind.Meanwhile, Naga simply stood there. Not making any unnecessary movements as she focused solely on Polinef. She looked at every movement he made. Every subtle change that came. Every breath taken out, every air taken in. Naga’s sole existence glued on her opponent who vanished once more.As soon as this happened, Naga’s connection got severed. She can’t feel her target anymore but, instead of doing anything to search for Polinef, she simply closed her eyes. As soon as the link broke, she closed her eyes and felt her surroundings. Waiting for any sort of change that may suddenly happen. Feeling everything from the darkness an
Naga and Polinef continued their fight with neither of them letting the other get the advantage in the fight. Whenever Polinef gets an opportunity to hit Naga, she answers in kind by also creating a cut on the nearest area that she can access. Utilizing the fact that there are a couple of blind spots that open up once her opponent strikes.But even if the fight looks like it’s even, that is far from the truth. The fight isn’t even at all. In fact, this whole thing is unfair for Naga, she’s the one at a great disadvantage and, proving this is the fact that she’s the one striking second.While she can damage Polinef, it cannot be disputed that she has to rely on the openings made whenever Polinef is guaranteed to land a strike. This means that she has a lot of openings on her and, more than this, it also means that Polinef is quicker, more lethal, and better at the craft than she is.That doesn’t matter much for her though. As long as she can land her strikes as well, the fight is still
Flashes. That’s the perfect word to describe the speed of Polinef’s attacks after his transformation. Everything became flashes so quick that, Naga is unable to react to them on time anymore. The movements are not only twice but, rather, thrice as fast. That is the honest estimation of Naga as soon as a wound opened up on her leg. Torn through by a blade cut that came, seemingly, out of nowhere. Her eyes widened as she looked at the wound which she began to treat with her internal energy, all while trying to sense where Polinef is. But to no avail. She can’t sense him at all. A strike at that moment would mean instant death. Yet, instead of killing her, Polinef created a gap between them again. “This is the full potential of my new form.” Polinef said.Now that Naga is looking at her opponent again, she noticed a great change in Polinef. There are now markings, black ones, that are spread across the gentle face of Polinef whose eyes have also turned blood red in shade. The nails of t
[Afghanistan 20 Years Ago]A young Naga Kazem has her whole body tied up with a rope. A couple of hours ago, she was still in the battlefield with her prized daggers in her hands. The task given to her is the same as everyone else in her unit. To kill as many of the enemies as possible. She doesn’t even have to think of her own life. It is expendable, just like everyone else in her division. All of which are nothing more than children taken in by the Hounds. The name of the organization that they work under.Without any regard for her own safety, she fought in the battlefield relentlessly. She continued hacking down as many as she could, just as she’s been instructed. There’s the sound of gunfire blasting her eardrums, the scent of blood, flesh, and gunpowder, all mixing under the dry heat of noon. Her own heart continued pumping like crazy. As if it would burst from her chest any second and, her sight began to tunnel down. Her only focus are the targets that she’s got to kill. That
Five years passed since Naga first encountered Desmond. During this time, a lot of things also occurred. Naga isn’t accustomed to any of these at all because of how new they all are for her. Desmond basically took her in as his own child. That’s why her life has taken a complete three-sixty-degree turn. None of the bad experiences she had to endure before now plague her. She’s given proper shelter, proper clothes, proper meals, everything that’s been deprived of her has been returned. Though, if there’s one thing that remained, it’s that she’s still practicing in the art of combat – something which Desmond personally sees to himself.Inside a seemingly empty forest, five enemies surround Naga. One of them is a sniper, two are close ranged fighters wielding combat knives and are also well versed with hand-to-hand combat. Then there are two more who fight on mid range.None of these proved to be much of a problem for Naga who’s able to take care of all of them while only sustaining a l
A wave of nostalgia went past Naga’s head as the internal energy emitted by the weapon of her foe went past her. A warmth that also brought a surging cold that rapidly spread across the entirety of her body as, the color of her pupils changed. One being crimson red while the other turned ocean blue.These eyes stared at the weapon that she stopped with the tip of her finger. The dagger of her opponent that’s given her such a hard time since earlier. This weapon has cut her body over and over to the point that she’s left bleeding to death. But now, as she looks at it, this feels like nothing more than a child’s toy. An object that can never hurt her no matter what. That is what she feels as she took a look at the face of her enemy.The expression written on Polinef’s face says it all. That he’s caught by surprise with everything that’s happening. It’s no wonder that the man can’t stop making this expression because, what Naga just did is considered as something impossible. Stopping a b
