Chapter 93 - Mysterious Old Man (1/2)
Back in the other room, only seconds earlier, Alexa and crew were having a discussion of their own. After noticing that Will had soundproofed the room perfectly, Alexa had Merlin sound proof their own room through her own means so they could have a discussion. Just as the discussion was in mid gear.
”Your orders are simple, protect Solitary, he is a valuable asset to our-”
Boom!
A shockwave hit everyone in the room. Unlike Letty, the others were quite strong and were able to stand properly. With a wave of Ibrahim's hand, the dust in the room cleared.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Silhouettes flashed as Will fought his assassin. Their bodies flashed in and out of the room. It was as if the opponent was teleporting in some odd manner and Will moved in pursuit. The sheer speed of his movement shocked everyone. The room was quite large, but not large enough to facilitate a fight on this scale, so it got wrecked within seconds. Before anyone could react, the duo created a hole in the wall and burst out of the building. They were on the 20th floor so it was quite a jump.
”Taiga! Report! Everyone else follows me!”
Taiga materialized next to Alexa and started running next to her as they burst out of the building
”I'm not sure what happened. All I can tell is that a user with a sword and an ability similar to mine is here! I am searching the database for more information!”
The moment the crew jumped out of the building, each of them used their own means to chase the fighting duo.
Caw Caw!
The giant eagle that they had all used to arrived from the skies and caught Gabby just before she hit the ground. The eagle caught up to the others. And as if by reflex the others all canceled their abilities and jumped on its back.
Now that they were outside the fight was more clear. Taiga's words made everyone frown. They all knew him well and knew exactly what he meant. Taiga had a move similar to teleportation but somewhat different. Either way, it was difficult to deal with. He was not the strongest of the group, but if he chose to run away, no one could stop him.
”Do we assist?” Said a somber Ibrahim.
Alexa thought for a moment, then she shook her head. ”No, not yet. The assassin is strong, but we could use this to gage Solitary's abilities properly. Woodsy, standby to interfere if you think Solitary will lose his life.”
