Arwin and Luca got off the ship and began to walk through the town.
The town had a white cobblestone floor that matched the walls, and from the sky, everything seemed to be desert, but the city was clean and well structured.
Leaving the platform, they entered a path that took them directly to a central square where there was a huge building called the market of the mourners.
In the market, you can find everything.
The city was circular, but the market took up almost the entire central point of the city with absurd extensions and more than five hundred different stores that could sell anything, not necessarily legal.
The shop ‘the piece of shit’ was on the other side of the platform from which they entered.
Luca had his hands in the air, and everyone could see the coiled bracelets around his hands.
Everyone knew they were explosive harnesses, and that drew a huge amount of attention.
Arwin looked at him and, seeing L
Luca and Arwin were leaving through the back door of the store. In front of them was Tiranot, he looked at them with hatred, and his red eyes lit up when Luca saw him. Then he said.“Hey man, did you hear!? We’ll be teammates... let’s get along.”Tiranot spat when he heard that, and his saliva, when it touched the ground, it began to smoke because of the enormous temperature it had. Grend, seeing it, said, “I like that! Good teamwork! This is how it should be!”Seeing everyone play a project that raised a forest in front of his eyes, Luca looked at him curiously when Glend, breathing calmly, said, “This is the place where the event will take place. The collectors will let out the Petrican in the forest. Don’t worry, it’s not the only beast in the forest…and the hunters will enter the forest to hunt it… Blaster weapons and multi-shot pistols are not allowed… That thing on your waist, boy,
The sun rose behind the mountain, all the hunters awaited Petrican’s release, Luca looked in all directions at his opponents, and everyone looked back at him with faces full of hostility.He looked at his weapons, and knowing that firearms were banned, he looked at whips, swords, spears, and katars, and confused, he looked at Arwin to say, “Those weapons don’t seem the most efficient for a hunt.”Tiranot instantly smiled when Arwin saw Luca and smiled, but she looked at him with tenderness.She found herself admiring that innocence and that impossibility of thinking maliciously, but seeing the boy, she said, “Luca! They will not go for the Petrican! They will wait for him to die to eliminate the other hunters and take the orb.”Looking at her, Luca observed the forest below. They were on a huge cliff, and to enter the forest, they would have to base-jump.Looking towards the hole where the beast would come out of
Luca watched as all his enemies descended with speed. While they did it, on the screen, Luca was reflected and shaking his head.He opened the Petrican’s body while he said, “I’m sorry, friend!”Putting his hand into the hole he made, he managed to get the orb out. The stone, despite being inside the creature’s body, was perfectly clean.Putting it in the pocket of his vest, he looked at the screen. The screen showed the warriors running around the forest in his search.Taking a deep breath, he expected this to happen, but seeing the beast didn’t bother him, so he decided to honor it by taking its weapons and using them in battle.The first to arrive at the site was a group of three men—all with prominent beards and long hair.Upon arrival, they saw the corpse of the creature and looked at each other, and they tried to trace Luca’s footsteps.One of them followed the tracks and was shock
Luca looked at the muscular man. He turned the ax in all directions without stopping, he tried to get closer to Luca, and he backed away quickly to avoid the blows of the ax.The man raised the ax above his head to strike in a vertical manner.When Luca saw this as an opportunity, he advanced at full speed to try to hit the man in the stomach.Luca bent down a little to cut his stomach and, gripping his sword firmly, was about to make the cut when the big man smiled.Instead of launching the attack with the ax blade, as Luca thought he would, he let it roll from the handle of the ax with his hands to hit with the other wooden point the back of Luca, who entered his space.Luca felt the blow to his back, and his leg failed to hit the ground. Looking forward, the man raised his leg and kicked him hard as he rolled on the ground.Luca stopped with great pain and threw his ax horizontally, and the man dodged it.The soldier approached for
Arwin looked at Mao in front of her, the girl used her whips with an efficiency that cut all possible angles of entry, and at the tip of the whips, there were two strange needles that gave a very bad feeling just by looking at them.Arwin backed away and did everything possible so that the whips did not touch her skin.Mao fired blow after blow from complicated angles but the pirate, using her skills and extreme agility, stayed out of range, dodging the attacks that they could generate.Mao looked at her with a smile while the spectators applauded loudly. The battle was showy, although Arwin did not make any progress.She could barely stay out of range, and that made it impossible to fight in any way.Mao, smiling, advanced two steps, and Arwin, seeing her, took two steps back. As long as she stayed on the edge of her attacks, avoiding them would be possible. Mao seeing her, smiled when she said.“You are much more competent than these
The remaining member of the muscular men attacked Tiranot. The boy walked calmly.His gnawed shirt and dirty pants gave a terrible appearance, and when the muscular man saw him, he said, “You have no weapons, nor anything with which to defend yourself, child.”Tiranot looked at him and said, “I don’t need any of that!”At that moment, two more people entered the clearing, and the river was the only sound that could be heard.The rocks broke the current of the river while the trees moved with the wind.The muscular man with a huge war hammer looked at the two newcomers, a couple of redheads who looked more like brothers than boyfriends, as the girl with a long spear and the boy with a sword saw both standing in front of them.The muscle guy was bald, and his mustache trailed down the sides of his mouth to meet a bushy beard when he said, “See what I mean, kid! The two of them are small as you, and they need
Luca looked around at a stocky man thrown to the side, his hand and his face completely burned, one red-haired boy on the other side, with burns in various parts of his body.Tiranot got up while the pain of the girl Luca had saved had made him present by just hearing her sobs.Luca was no stranger to that kind of violence. Being a soldier himself, he was responsible for several deaths, but the level of cruelty that was shown in that place was terrible.“Tiranot! You have something wrong with your head, man!” Luca asked while looking forward.The man, with a broken nose from the kick that Luca gave, stood up. He was glaring at Luca when he said, “Do I have to have something wrong? Because I’m ugly and poor? That’s why I have to be a fucking sick because I’m a fucking slave?”Luca saw it, and without understanding where he was making that connection, he said, “No imbecile! It’s not because you&rs
Luca looked screaming loudly, he felt the heat of Tiranot’s touch on his hands, but he felt no pain.There was no explosion, and nothing was happening smiling Tiranot saw him without understanding what was happening.Just then, Luca acted with speed, opened his arms, and with a powerful header made Tiranot step back.Luca advanced to hit Tiranot again and the young man, using one of his hands, tried to touch Luca’s face. Worse, putting his forearm in between, he felt the heat.However, again without pain, shaking his hand, he kicked Tiranot in the stomach, and then a strong blow to the face made the boy step back.Luca stretched out his hand and, with his fingers, grazed Luca’s right shoulder, intensely burning his skin and falling face down to the ground.Luca felt the two lines of burns on his shoulder, and nodding, he took a handful of earth and rubbed them on the burn. He looked ahead when seeing Tiranot, and he said sp
Arwin walked calmly. Wendy saw her when the young woman said, “Yes, everything turned out for the best, they gave everyone immunity, and they decided to unsubscribe. The army’s way of doing things is not the best!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “It’s true. It is not! But it’s good that the republic doesn’t follow them anymore. They’ve been close to me for a long time, so you don’t have to worry!”Smiling, Arwin thanked him and said, “I know! The mafia has done a lot for us, and we are available. We will open a special commission agency, and we can take on any job. Any…!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “I’ll keep them in mind then… Tell me! On the hand, how does it work?Smiling, Arwin nodded, saying, “The hand works great! Just like Strickland’s arm, though, he only knows how to complain….!”Wendy nodded and, seeing Arwin said, “That’s great, but if you don’t need anything, what did you come to do? Just to say hello?”Arwin nodded and said, “I wanted to know how you were, but more than anyth
Arwin was unconscious and the warm hand of a person she knew brought her back to reality. Everything was collapsing, and a one-armed man was pushing hard to remove part of the railing that was above it.“Luca.”She whispered when she saw the effort that the man-made toward her. She placed both hands on the railing and, helping him between the two of them, managed to lift her, she looked at him, and he said, offering her a hand, “I was worried, and I came to see how you were!”She, smiling, took his hand and, standing up, said, “It was difficult, but I did it! Is dead!”Luca smiling, began to run to the side of Arwin. Both were injured but kept a steady pace walking to get out of that place. Arwin seeing him, looked at his bandaged leg and said, “You managed to beat Skyler!”The smiling young man looked at him and said, “Nine times out of ten, she would have lost… I was very lucky!”She looked at him and was sure that he was speaking sincerely. However, she also knew how efficient he w
Arwin looked at the man walking towards her. Her shirt fell to the ground and showed a torso full of scars. The man raised his hands, looked at the pirate, and said, “It is said that you were the captain of a pirate ship. Is that true?”Arwin tightened his muscles, and the smiling man said, “I also!”With speed, she approached. For Arwin, it was strange to see a person of that size move at such speed, the man launched two direct blows to Arwin’s face, and the young woman, moving her head from side to side, managed to avoid them.He prepared a strong uppercut and threw it at the girl’s face. She tilted her face back to avoid the blow, but she could only feel the impact and see the entire room move around her. She didn’t understand what was happening.She was sure she had dodged it, but now the whistle that deafened her ears was in accordance with the erratic movement of the lights when the next blow caught her in the stomach.She felt a powerful hollow in her stomach as her legs failed
Arwin looked straight ahead at the swordsman of the black knights, the corpses of his companions adorned the entire anteroom, and he said, smiling, “After killing you. I’ll go find that Skyler guy and finish him off!”She, smiling, calmly breathed as she squeezed the handle of her gun. In that place, the smell of blood began to permeate everything, and the man in front of her said, “This is it. It’s the end!”Taking a step forward, he pressed the handle of his sword. That action generated a reaction from Arwin, who, with full power, advanced. Their steps were synchronized, and in a fraction of a second, the blood on the ground splashed from their strong steps until they crossed each other and stayed behind their enemy.They both calmly smiled, and it was one of Arwin’s daggers that broke at that moment. She looked at it and straightened up, and looked back when she said, “The weapons of the black knights are unmatched!”Seeing the man, he fell to his knees, and slowly, his hands went
Luca watched Skyler. Every move in his mind ended with the man stabbing him somewhere in the body, and even though the sword was severed and its reach reduced, Skyler didn’t look fazed in the least.In a normal fight with a normal person, Luca would have the advantage because of his armory on his arm, but against Skyler, all those weapons were useless. Something about that person was extraordinary, and his ability to fight was beyond everyone’s expectations, including Luca’s.Skyler bending her knees forward, jumped towards him, Luca raised his arm, trying to anticipate the blow, but the union member did not reveal his attack until the last minute.With a precise sword strike to the abdomen, Skyler made Luca step back, activating the barrel of his weapon. He opened his palm so that it pointed at Skyler, and the young man, only leaning forward a little, managed to dodge the shot.Swinging his sword hard, he hit Luca’s arm with the edge making his hand do a huge flip, and with his bare
Arwin and his men arrived at the antechamber of the emperor’s room. They all looked at the door ornamented with the symbol that was the shield of the empire on the doorknobs while they breathed deeply. Arwin said, “Once we go in, probably if we find opposition, they have to be careful and attack firmly. We don’t know what’s in store for us!”But that was not entirely true, and she had a clear notion of what was waiting for her behind that door. Seeing her companions before entering, she said, “Listen, if there are any black knights entering behind this door, I want you to retreat immediately… if you stay, you will die!”One of the soldiers saw her and said, “We will not retreat. If we even die, we have to make sure to make your mission easier, and if the black knights are behind this door, then we will have to face them, that’s all!”She smiled, the support of her men always lovely, and kicking the door hard, she had a split second to see the formation in front of her.Four soldiers a
Holly looked back and could see Loid storming in, firing her gun and sliding on her knees to get behind the wall her grenade had built. Seeing Holly, she asked, “Are you okay?”She was happy to see him and smiling. She nodded, breathing deeply. Loid saw how a fragment of the wall deteriorated and, looking to the side, said, “First, we must move. This won’t last long!”Coming out of the side of the wall, he raised his rifle and, firing several times, managed to hit Ben in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Looking at Holly, they both began to run at full speed towards another iron container.From the ground, Ben threw his nails, trying to kill them, but they moved quickly and managed to take cover.Loid was surprised, and seeing Ben stand up, he asked, “I gave him six shots. How the hell is he intact?”Holly, with a hint of frustration in her voice, said, “He’s reborn. I shot him in the head, an explosion with a grenade, I even hit him with a forklift, and he’s still whole. It won’
Luca was right in front of his enemy. The man in the white suit was smiling despite the wound on his shoulder. The man was looking at Luca carefully when he said, “Do you think you can survive this time? This injury was because you took me by surprise!”With those words, the man threw himself on Luca. He threw a hook hoping that Luca would protect himself but instead, the soldier moved his head from the place of the impact avoiding the blow with ease.The man looked at that, but, far from being discouraged, he launched a strong kick to the abdomen, but Luca, moving with his legs, got out of the reach of the blow. The man started throwing combination after combination, but Luca moved his body kept away from him.The frustrated man felt the pain in his shoulder when Luca smilingly said, “It’s not space mechanics. If I can’t cover myself, then I’m going to dodge everything you throw… your physical condition isn’t very good!”The smiling man shook his head and said, “As if they hadn’t tri
Arwin was running at full speed. The corridors turned into different paths but they had their path well established. They exactly knew which direction to go thanks to Holly’s help. However, the girl had stopped responding, and that puzzled Arwin a bit as he advanced with a glance. A quick glance at the troops that were with her, the girl stopped.She was looking at her men curiously when one of the Mafia soldiers asked, “What’s wrong, Arwin?”She is a quick movement, took out her dagger and, throwing it at full speed, stabbed one of the mafia soldiers directly in the chest, and all the soldiers raised their rifles to point at her. They were terrified when she, without paying any attention to them, saw how the man stabbed in the ground became another person.The guards looked at each other and saw Arwin, and the girl said, “Apparently, he can change his appearance and clothes at will... I don’t know when he replaced one of you, but he did!”One of the mafia soldiers looked at her in su
