All shots fired by Icaros were blocked, allowing the enemy ship to fly away.

Upon seeing this, the general could not help but explode in anger. He was glaring at everything as he said, “You’re fucking useless. How could you lose them!”

At that moment, the general was completely furious. He was gritting his teeth in frustration. However, before he could further think about what to do next, his fury changed to error when the call that frightened him came.

The call was from someone he feared the most. The call was from the emperor, who unsurprisingly knew what was going on.

It was as if the emperor was monitoring everything that was happening. The general should not have been surprised in the first place, but he was in a very annoying situation, and just talking to the emperor was more than he could handle.

Nevertheless, as soon as they were out of his reach, the man called his general. And regardless of how worried and tense he was, he needed to answer it.

    After saying that, she looked at Luca and then reached out to touch his cheek.Luka, at that time, was already looking at her with a half-smile.“All the time I have fought since I was a young girl, the only thing I have known in my life is battle. I’m not afraid to fight and face the enemy, but now, I’m a mess. I only think that they don’t hurt you and yours because I couldn’t bear to see you suffer again,” she said while looking at him with a helpless expression. However, her words were firm enough for Luca not to take it as a joke.She sighed and then lowered her hand to touch his severed arm. Her eyes were misted with unshed tears. She bit her lower lip to suppress her urge to cry. Still, with some fear, she said, “When you were going to lose your arm, I thought you wouldn’t recover. I thought I’d never see you smile again... and for some reason, that was too much for me!”She was really feeling frustrated on the inside. Just then, she realized what Luca was doing, and she couldn

    Capone and Skyler calmly advanced through a bar inside the imperial colony when the emperor, seeing them, smiled and said, “The only people who haven’t failed me yet! I am very happy to see you!”Dustin calmly approached and stretched out his hand, and said, “I have your request, emperor!”The man nodded and said, “I appreciate it, but I’m going to have to request your trades again. You see, I had a man under my command, a good man, and he was taken from me. Those prisoners who were supposed to be yours did it. That’s why I need you to help me bring him back. Can you do that?”Dustin looked at Skyler, and with a smile, she said, “Boss, for the right price, anything is possible!”The emperor nodded and walked away and said, “How can you guarantee that you will catch him!”And Dustin walking in front, said, “There is nothing that cannot be done, and you have everything under your control, everything necessary to lure those rats to this place and capture them.”The man calmly looked at t

    After that, they both began to run down a corridor. They were doing it quickly.But just then, Arwin looked at Luca. She then said with unmasked concern while staring at him, “You have to secure the armory!”Luca glanced back at her swiftly before he nodded. Arwin let out a stiff smile and then nodded back. After that, Luca started moving at full speed. He was quickly heading towards the armory.Before he could completely get out of their sight, however, Arwin spoke one more, with a firm tone, “You and I will go to the bridge, and it’s time to take control of this ship!”Luca glanced back and saw that Arwin was not talking to him but at Frank. Realizing this, he went back to his task.Frank nodded, in his mind that four people taking control of a space cruiser was something practically impossible, but after seeing how those same people had assaulted a planet and taken him and his family out, maybe he should give these a little more credit.

    The flame flew over him and made the temperature of the place increase. He was standing on a glass surface, and except for the upper floors, everything was made of glass and showed the infinity of space.Luca looked at what happened curiously at the place. He had a deep frown, as he had a bad feeling at that moment.Before he could do anything, on where he was when a voice from above said.“I must say that you can easily run away. I can admit that.”Luca’s attention was taken, and he swiftly looked at him, but what was in front of him was something quite strange. It was hard for him to describe it. Even the presence of the man was hard to really point out.That was because what was in front of him was indeed a man, but part of his face looked badly burned, while his scarlet red eyes made a stark contrast to his gaze.His face gradually returned to normal when the man, putting his hands on the railing of the second floor, and then he said, “You are certainly very crazy, attacking a shi

    Luca activated the rail of his arm so that the rope would pull him up.The pressure that sucked him out of the ship was powerful, but he could withstand it, and the rope brought him closer and closer to the door until his foot felt like a handheld him.His opened. He had opened it so wide, and then he yelled, “You got to be kidding!”The man he was fighting with still had a long way to go to regenerate, but seeing him, he held his foot firmly with the only hand that had regenerated so far.That prevented the rope from pulling Luca back to the ship, but firmly he pulled the ax with his healthy hand.When he took it, he hit the hand that was holding him with force, cutting the whole body and letting that man fly into outer space.Luca looked at what was going on with great worry. Nevertheless, he firmly pulled himself out of that space and sealed the door.He started moving as fast as he could, and then he took the hand that was holding his foot and firmly threw it back.He was ready to

    She watched at the man started taking off his shirt, and that immediately showed the armor that he had underneath.Despite it looking more like a shirt as well that fitted to the body, Arwin could easily say that it was made of special material. It was something that she was used to seeing before.However, such material was quite pricy. Not only that, it was not easy to find a maker for such. It was either the black market or someone who had a strong background to be able to get one.Knowing this fact, Arwin felt concerned as well as alert. She knew that her current opponent was not going to be easy to deal with.Should she run or fight?She knew that dealing with the armor was really difficult. That alone put her at a great disadvantage.As she was deep in her thought., the man looked at Arwin as he said, “I had to admit that I couldn’t beat you in a fair fight. It’s impossible for me...”Just as he said that he suddenly slammed the handle of his blade twice into his body, and each t

    He still wanted to retaliate and defend himself, but she moved so swiftly, and before he could realize it, Arwin had already made a perfect wound in the neck and then turning on her axis, she kicked Pinky’s body again, making him back away.The man stepped back firmly, and, releasing his sword to put his hand on his neck where the blood came out prominently, the man looked at her, and she shook her head and lowered her eyes. Pinky could not stand up and fell to his knees.On the ground, his sword was at his side. He looked at Arwin with a bloody grin. He then asked between bubbles of blood, “I’m strong, aren’t I?”She looked at him and nodded, and she gave him that last gift before the pirate fell in a pool of his own blood to the ground.Releasing a strong breath, she stepped back until she leaned against the wall. Fighting him was complicated, but it was all over.The bridge was a little further on, and surely she could take it when, looking to the side, Frank approached cautiously.

    Quickly all the cameras of the ship appeared on the screens in front. They could see everything that was happening from that place.The camera of the door that was closed behind her appeared and showed how the soldiers were steadily approaching.She activated the security system by typing, and on the door, an automatic turret appeared, shooting in all directions killing the pirates.Strikland, upon seeing that, frowned. He then firmly asked, “How come that thing didn’t attack us?”She saw him smiling, and he instantly knew that she had taken it upon herself to disable it. Calmly she said, “We can monitor everything from here, and I already canceled communications. The only system I couldn’t control was the one on the bridge! Seems like it’s the only thing not attached to the mainframe!”Strikland, seeing her surprised, looked at the screens and, surprised, pointed firmly at one of them, and then he asked, “Isn’t that Luca?”Holly saw him, and in a few seconds, she understood the situa

    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
