134 Evolver Versus Mutator (1/2)
Day 5 - 8:51 AM – Former CVSU Campus Rooftop, Queens Row Elementary School, Queens Row Area A, Bacoor City, Cavite
Dominador who was currently looking like a half human and half monkey with a bulky body and crimson colored fur was charging towards Mark in rage. However, before he could even come close to his target and pummel him to death, he halted as he was greeted with a rising nozzle of an assault rifle. His eyes dilated. Due to his hate towards Mark, he neglected the fact that Mark was armed with a gun!
TSST! TSST! TSST!
Three muffled shots were released from the assault rifle as three bullets were sent flying towards Dominador's direction. Nevertheless, none of the bullets hit the target as Dominador stopped his charge before the shots were fired and jumped to the right.
Seeing that his sudden attack that he did the moment Dominador charged at him was evaded, Mark frowned. The perception of the Mutator in front of him was not something to joke at. He noticed that the slight movement of his gun despite how fast it was alerted his enemy and immediately did the maneuvers to evade the moment the shots were fired.
Trying to gauge the abilities of the Mutator in front of him, Mark shot several more bullets towards his enemy.
TSST! TSST! TSST! TSST! TSST! TSST!
Yet, every shot missed.
Dominador was able to evade and he started moving to dodge the moment the gun were fired. It was as if he had a keen grasp on the trajectory the bullet would fly. Mark could do the same thing like avoiding but the method and skill were different from what the Weremonkey in front of him was displaying. With his empathic ability, he could deduce which person was going to pull the trigger and concentrating his adrenaline to his eyes and brain would make his perception faster and slowing the bullets to some extent enabling him to avoid the gunshots.
The skill Dominador was displaying was different. Mark was sure that this was not something Dominador acquired from his Mutation but something he built up from experience. During the times Dominador was evading, Mark could feel that Dominador's emotional trigger towards the bullets were non-existent as if his mind were blank as he dodge. Watching his movements and detecting the emotional fluctuations Dominador had, Mark concluded that this person was dodging the bullets by instinct.
TSST! TSST! TSST!
Mark fired another burst of bullet which made him quite indignant to fire once more. It was because he started to feel that he was just wasting bullets.
On the other hand, Dominador was getting vexed even more. The person in front of him was seemed to be predicting his movements and fire at the place where he should be moving towards which made him jump back and forth without being able to advance. If not for his keen sense to danger engraved in his mind due to countless dangerous experiences, he would already be sieved with bloody holes already.
Mark kept firing at Dominador without hitting while the latter was not able to advance further in order to avoid the incoming bullets flying towards his direction. In simple words, the two were at a stalemate.
”Hey! Fight with me fairly!”
The angry Dominador bellowed. He admit himself that he was blinded by rage and neglected the fact that the enemy in front of him had a gun even if he did not, he would not be able to use guns while he was in his mutated form either. In this form, his hands and fingers were enlarged and as such, not to mention firing one when he could not even hold a gun.
”Don't wanna.”
TSST! TSST!
Mark answered nonchalantly and fired another two bullets towards Dominador.
”You--”
Dominador could not finish his words and jumped to his left to dodge. His mind was slowly being filled with anger.
”It's your fault making your way here alone and without weapons. Why should throw away my advantage?”
Mark shot a smug look despite the fact that his heart was aching for needing to waste ammunition on this guy. It was really not worth it.
During the time Mark met this guy earlier, he purposely provoked Dominador for two reasons. One was because he hated the farce this guy used to try and entice him to go to their base. The other was because Mark was looking for Mutators to feed Janette. As Dominador was known to be an evil person, he would not think twice of eliminating this guy at the right time. He just did not make his move earlier as Mei and the others were with him while Dominador had his men. Mei and the other members of his group might get caught in the middle of the crossfire.
Now however, seeing what kind of Mutator Dominador was, Mark became indignant to feed him to Janette anymore. If he did, who knows if his precious specimen would also get covered in fur? He would never try to risk that.
TSST!
Mark shot another bullet making Dominador back up.
”You should know that we have your friend's cousin right?! That's why you're here for sure! I don't think you will want anything to happen to her!”
Dominador tried to make Mark compromise. However, he saw his enemy shooting a stare at him as if he was looking at an idiot. This made him even more infuriated.
'Dammit!'
Dominador cursed inside. He thought that this person did not care about that child at all. Then, Mark spoke.
”What are you talking about? I already rescued your hostages. There's two of them right?”
”What?!”
Dominador's eyes dilated. If that really happened, then it was too fast! He thought that this person had just arrived here to rescue them and the two hostages were not rescued yet! They had just informed Ms. Faja about their conditions and if this person was to initiate his rescue, he needed to scour the whole area which was filled with his men, unless, he was able to pinpoint the exact location where they hid the child. However, he just pinpointed that they had two hostages even when they also informed Ms. Faja of only one. It meant that he might have really rescued them already!
”You don't believe me? Look there. There are two of your men there with slit necks. ”
Mark said smugly as he lowered his gun while pointing towards the area of the roof behind the building.
