Chapter 1518: Killer: Can I Get A Time-Out?
Pack!!!
The massive wooden window shattered into pieces.
"You!!"
The duo couldn't believe their eyes.
Even till now, this bastard still wouldn't let them go?
(>/:TπT:)
The duo didn't know whether to commend his relentlessness or lament for their fortune, having such a bastard behind their tails.
F***!
Don't think the windows were normal.
From the inside, one would only think these windows were tall wooden windows.
But after opening the windows, one would come face to face with thick prison bars built into the stone walls.
This way, not even an assassin could break in from outside.
The place was truly secured. This was why they focused on the massive door, using their poor energy to block the only opening with the ridiculously heavy column.
But who knew they would meet a human monster who could break through the iron bars as though it were nothing?
Suddenly, they had child sweats, imagining they were the iron bars instead.
Lying trough.
If this guy punches them, wouldn't their bodies break into half instead?
(>:°∆°:)
Cletus felt his legs wobbly from this realization.
His attitude is now different from his pompous demeanor when dealing with Landon a while ago.
But apart from this shock, something else made gin stand frozen in disbelief.
"It's you!!!"
.
You?
The anxious T.O E.P man furrowed his brow, looking between Cletus and the now unmasked guard.
"You know each other?"
He didn't think they would be friends. Or else why would this guy still be against Cletus if there were on good terms?
Enemies? Was it because Cletus had somehow angered this guy that he decided to turn in their plans today?
So did this have anything to do with Gregory but everything to do with Cletus?
The T.O E.P swore that if his guess were right, he would secretly put a sac on Cletus' head and strangle the guy to near death. He wouldn't kill him but vent some of his anger and pretend it wasn't him.
"I know him..." Cletus answered in a daze. "He and his group suddenly appeared from under the water, saving me from those Adonis followers."
What? Him?
You have to know that when Cletus reported the matter, they felt it was impossible.
Cletus said there was no other ship in sight for as far as the eyes could see.
But how was that even possible?
Are you saying these people lived underwater and came out just to save him?
Impossible!
.
Everyone was more willing to believe Cletus and his men had been so engulfed with their battle against the Adonis flowers for hours that they didn't see the ship or ships belonging to their saviors.
Or could it be these saviors had somehow managed to tame whales or bigger sea creatures to bring them along?
Again, that was just too fantasy-like.
Do you know how far at sea Cletus and his men were during the battle?
The more many thought about it, the more excuses they gave as to why these saviors appeared out of nowhere.
Some even said they had long hidden in the Adonis ships waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
Others also claimed they might've been captured rowing slaves who made theor moves at the strategic moments.
Even those with Cletus during the battle had brainwashed themselves, claiming they probably saw things wrong.
.
"You! You! You! You! You!!!~~"
Cletus felt his insides churning, pointing at Landon with his trending fingers.
Recalling the brutal battle he watched and how easy it was for Landon to take out the Adonis followers, Cletus turned cowardly.
"I... I've not offended you, senior... So why are you so against me?"
Cletus spoke, without knowing his Jody was subconsciously moving behind the T.O.E.P killer.
'...'
So now, he was Cletus's shield?
The killer was tempted to plunge his dagger into Cletus' throat.
What bad luck to be working with a scum!
But this was no time to dilly dally.
The enemy had come with no open arms.
It was either they fought, surrendered, or died.
Judging by this guy's strength, the logical thing to do is surrender and gather information before secretly uncovering a way to escape and report his findings.
The Society might be more pleased with his capture since it was useless than him dying now.
But as a proud Morg who had never lost to any other than his kind (Morgs), how can he be unwilling to surrender without a fight?
There might be a chance for him to make it out. Though still, one must always keep on fighting!
The killer narrowed his eyes, reaching for his blades.
'Fight first. And if it's beyond me, surrender only then. But no matter what? I must not die! How dare this man kill members of the Society?'
Even if he didn't deliver the finishing blow to end this guy's life, the Society would never let him go!
.
'Die for me!'
Whoosh!
Several lights flickered.
Thup! Thup! Thup! Thup!~
Several small objects were deeply embedded in the wooden windows.
Hidden weapons!
"8-hand Throw!"
Thup! Thul! Thup! Thup!~"
The killer's throwing speed creased, giving the illusion he was a Buddha with 8 hands waving out.
Landon jumped onto every possible surface like spiderman.
He did a backflip, landing on the wall for just a millisecond, before jumping off to another location crazily.
F***! F***! F***!
Cletus ran as fast as he could, seeing Landon jumping toward him.
Cletus, who had already gone a far distance ahead, was shocked to see the maniac jump toward him.
What was more pitiful was that since Landon was facing him, the hidden weapons from the killer might accidentally plunge into his body too.
No! No! jump somewhere else, buddy.
Just the crazy attack from the killer made him know Morgany was even more unfathomable than he previously thought.
What sort of speed was this?
Though not as fast as Landon, one must admit this Morg guy was like a phantom far above anyone Cletus had seen in Titarian.
If the killer had these moves, then imagine how strong their superiors and leaders would be?
'I'll be damned!'
Whether it was the killer or Landon, it made Cletus now he was just a small fish in a big pond
50 breaths...
That was how long they had at the start before the mechanism closed on its own.
Already, one could hear the mechanism underneath floors making several closing sounds.
38 breaths had gone by. And now, he had but little time to get up the stairs, head to the grand office, and find the trap door.
Breathe in... Breathe out...
The breaths were going, and his only escape door was closing.
.
Dammit!
Cletus commanded his legs to pick up the pace. At the same time, he couldn't help letting out his rage at Landon, seeing the guy was once again focused on the killer rather than him.
"You hateful bastard! Did I kill or poison your mother? What did I ever do to you? Why are you trying to end my life so desperately?"
"Why? Because you're ugly."
[Cletus, who didn't expect a response]: "_"
Bam!
Cletus jumped ahead in time to avoid a massive chair thrown at him.
"You! You!... You barbarian!"
The chair shattered into pieces as Cletus scurried back to his feet in horror.
'Crazy bastard!!' He cursed inwardly, fleeing like a dog whose tail had been clipped.
Landon watched him run but didn't chase after.
He had stalled the guy for the remaining breaths. So no matter how fast he ran, Cletus shouldn't be able to escape.
Alright. He wanted to see what battle level this guy was at.
"You're good."
The killer tried controlling his breathing. "Not as good as you."
1, 2, 3...
The killer lightly jumped with daggers in his hands. It seemed his most confident weapon to use were blades.
.
~Swish! Swish! Swish!
The entire room turned into a tornado of cold winds, sharp enough to turn the space into a chopping board.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Landon slowed down his speed. And sure enough, the blade hadn't even touched him, yet there was a cut line below his ears.
What skill!
Morgany was indeed good. After going back, he had to adjust the training the soldiers and the rest did.
Understanding the true might of an enemy would save them when the big war comes.
Assessing time was over.
Vanished!
The killer had no time to react when he suddenly felt his body drop.
Bam!
What just happened?
'Ahhhh!!' He inwardly screamed.
Landon twisted his legs WWE style, so much so that the killer began tapping unwillingly.
What sort of vicious move was this?
Bam!
The killer again smashed to the ground with another famous move that almost knocked all his teeth out.
Many back on earth would recognize Landon's moves to be similar to King's lives in Tekken.
Dizzy... Dizzy...
He was already dizzy, until he heard Landon lightly chuckle.
"Don't faint yet; we are just getting started."
Wait? What?
The killer wanted to cry.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
