Chapter 138 - 138: Van Vs Reed

"Mister Gil!"

Van could not help but cough as the dark s fire that seeped through the cracks of the fog

The fire was slowly starting to s the forest, but still, Van was able to swiftly avoid danger due to his speed and reached the shores of the lake But alas, Gil was nowhere to be found there

"Mister Gil, where are you!?"

Van once again screamed, but his loud voice was drowned by the sound of e around hih Add the thunder that the trees were causing as they separate froround, one would barely even be able to hear themselves

"Tch," left with no choice, Van used his [Air Step] to carefully cliain cough as the sot

Van covered his ns of life within the forest And finally, just after a few seconds, he saw a h the thick forest, waving his hands to dissipate the fires that blocked his path

"Mister Gil!" Van once again shouted as he carefully descended fro his [Air Step] like a ladder

But halfway to the ground, right as his feet could touch the leaves of the tallest tree, he saw Gil dropping to the ground, blood profusely gushi+ng out from his neck

"!!!"

Van's eyes then turned towards another silhouette that suddenly showed himself, its arms stretched, a knife in tow

"Mister Reed?"

Van's face twisted as he quickly let hi [Air Step] to soften his landing

"Reed!" He could not help but scream as he rushed towards where Reed and Gil are at, swiftly avoiding the trees and the bushes blocking his path

"You--" Reed turned his head towards the sudden voice that entered his ears, but before he could fully turn his body, he saw Van approaching hih speed

"!!!"

Reed quickly dodged to the side, but alas, he was not able to fully avoid Van's rush His vision shi+fted as he felt half of his body seee boulder The blood fro his landing soft, albeit clumsy

Reed wiped the blood on his chin as he looked towards Van He was only able to dodge him because he heard his scream If he didn't, he would have surely taken the whole brunt of Van's attack

His eyes then followed a blur, no, followed Van, who rushed to Gil's side

"Mister Gil!"

Gil's neck was still bleeding, but even then, a s hihed up a huge amount of blood He then chuckled as his eyes scanned their surroundings

"Sshi+t," he whispered, his eyes reflecting the fire that surrounded them, "Did… did I just burn the forest down?"

"Letyou to Boss so she can heal--"

"!!!"

Van quickly went into superspeed as soon as the sound of rushi+ng footsteps entered his ears, quickly dragging Gil out of the way

He then looked towards the direction they were previously in, only to see Reed back on his feet, his knife brandishi+ng towards where Van's face used to be And without even a word or a slight hesitation in hisa weird sently pushed Gil to the side and backed away to avoid Reed's inco attack

"" Come to think of it, this is the first ti someone who also specialized in speed Van carefully followed theaway as it threatened to slit his throat

Nisha also specialized in speed But he hasn't really gotten the chance to fight her and has only seen how she ainst et in learning how people who prided their speed fought But alas, he couldn't take his mind off of Gil, whose skin had already become as white as snow fro has stopped, burning his flesh to cauterize the wound and giving him more time
