The dead silence of the night filled the vipers with a sort of fear and terror for their own lives. They’re used to this but, in that moment, these elements feel almost foreign to them. As if they’re entering into a new domain. One which they have never entered their whole lives. One which cradles all of their nightmares.This is caused by the crossfire that happened between Daemon and the other vipers. It wouldn’t feel horrific for them if not for the fact that, the vipers who engaged in the crossfire never made contact with them. This can mean a range of things. From having no signal, to having their devices destroyed, to being too wounded or caught up in the fight that they can’t communicate. But the one probable cause that keeps surfacing to the top of everyone’s head is the possibility that, these vipers in question are already dead. It isn’t that impossible for them to be killed. In fact, this is the most probable thing they can think of. Once the crossfire ceased and all the r
[You have killed ten members of the Viper Gang.][Updated Chain Quest Requirement Cleared!][You have gained ten Status Points!][You have gained a new Passive Skill!]These information appeared in front of Daemon as soon as he finished dealing with Frank’s group. Unlike the first one, this is a relatively easier group to deal with despite their number. The reason for this is because, he’s able to catch them by surprise just like the first group. But, more than anything, he’s able to start strong with the fight. Using up a grenade explosion right at the get go which dealt enough significant damage to take away a large portion of the fighting power of his enemies.All of this won’t be possible if not for the fact that they stood still though. The time they took talking among themselves is all that Daemon needed to get close to them. They probably didn’t even think that they’d get ambushed by someone while they’re holding that meeting because of how sure their leader is.This is their b
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
