Chapter 186 Alternate Ending: Ism the messenger of Death (1/2)

The loud sound of the explosion was heard, and a hole was made to the floor below. Carlo and his group jumped down to the floor below, but before Dan did so, he tried to nab Reghinald. Yet the moment he moved something blocked his path and he was not able to get a hold of Reghinald.

Failing the first attempt Dan didn't proceed to do a second since there was no time. He then followed Carlo and the others down ready to flee.

”Sorry Carlo, I wasn't able to get a hold of him, he's unusually prepared.” While running Dan apologized to Carlo.

”Don't worry about it. What we do need to worry about right now is how to escape.” Carlo was having a bit of difficulty running, seeing his other leg was just a prosthetic leg.

The group was running to the escape route they planned to use, but when they got into intersecting corridors, the group saw that there were soldiers heading there way from all directions.

”Tsk, no choice I'll stop them here.” Dan took a stance in the middle of the intersecting hallway.

”Dan... I'm sorry.” Carlo knew that Dan's decision was the only path they had left. If no one holds their ground here, then none of them would be able to escape.

”You're talking like this is my final moment. I can handle this much without breaking a swear, so just go.”

The group had no more time so they moved onward, without looking back. Ryu cut open a path and shouted.

”Dan my friend, I'll be meeting you in warriors paradise!” Seeing the fading figure of his friends Dan smiled at what Ryu said while facing the enemy forces.

”That's a stupid thing to say, Ryu. You're basically telling me I'm going to die.” Dan faced the enemy forces with no fear, as he smiled joyfully. As he fought he could only think that he was grateful that he saw his family again. He was grateful to know that even without him, they could survive.

With that knowledge at hand, Dan Regius fought with a smile on his face.

...

Carlo and Michel were nearing the end of a corridor where the exit was. It was only them left since Ryu separated from them to distract some of the soldiers. They promised to meet back at the extraction point.

It was at this point that, Carlo's prosthetic leg finally gave in. It would seem that a bullet had broken it. Michel who saw this tried to help Carlo up.

”Michel this is it for me.”

”What are you saying, I'll carry you there!” Michel could already guess what Carlo wanted to say, but she didn't want to hear it.

”You and I both know if you bring me along we won't make it... So at least you should be able to make it.”
