Chapter 301 Nearly there (1/2)

Alex who was chasing after his grandfather took out another pistol from his waist. Now he was holding two handguns on both hands. Alex continued shooting at his grandfather who evaded by running towards a corner of the hallway. Seeing that Alex replaced the bullets with his specialized rubber bullets, and started shooting at the walls. The bullets Alex shot ricochet off the walls and bounced towards the corner Richter ran towards.

Once Alex turned towards that corner, he couldn't spot his grandfather. Alex then felt danger coming and leapt forward, seconds later he heard gunshots. Alex looked behind and saw his grandfather hiding above.

Richter who had failed his surprise attack jumped down from his hiding spot. The moment Richter landed Alex was already inches away from him. Alex's gun that was on his left hand was now pointing at Richter's face, while the gun on his right hand was pointing at Richter's heart.

Richter swayed his head to evade the bullet aimed at it, while he didn't evade the bullet that would pierce his heart. As Alex expected the bullet couldn't penetrate the armor like clothes of his grandfather. Yet if one shot didn't work then all he needed to do was hit it more times. Richter on the other hand was about to get one of the weapons hidden in his coat but Alex was able to anticipate this and shot Richter's hand that was reaching for the gun.

Alex then started to shoot at Richter in close quarters. Richter countered by pushing one of Alex's hands to the side, and using that opening tried to get a weapon within that interval. Yet Alex's flow wasn't disturbed by that move as he spun his body to use the force of the push to his advantage and delivered a kick to his grandfather. The incoming kick stopped Richter from reaching his gun and was forced to block using both his hands.

Richter who was able to catch Alex's leg flung it upward, making Alex lose balance as he was now in a mid-air somersault. Now with this opening Richter was finally able to get a gun out. He then started to shoot at the defenseless Alex. Seeing that Richter was about to shoot, Alex knew he couldn't evade mid-air, so instead Alex matched the timing of Richter's shot and shot his own bullet. The two bullets collided mid-air and were forced to change trajectory.

Seeing that stunned Richter for a moment, and then he smiled. The better his grandson was, the better it was for the Greyhound legacy. Alex then landed on the ground, seeing that Ricther tried to distance himself from Alex, but Alex wouldn't allow that as he continued to stick close to Richter.

The two began a melee with their guns. Most of the shots were evaded the other attacks were deflected by hitting bullets with their own bullets. Sometimes Richter would simply take a hit, since he was able to regenerate the damage using the nanomachines injected into him.

Alex knew that this was really not enough to kill the b*stard. He knew the only real way to finish the enemy off would be destroying Richter's brain, but it might also be possible if he destroys Richter's heart. Still that proved to be quite difficult since those were the only things that Richter was truly defending.

...

The attacks of the two were going so fast, that the human eye couldn't keep up anymore. Even in that kind of speed, Richter suddenly shifted gears and gotten faster, Alex also followed suit. The warm-ups were finally over, now it was time for the real thing.

Alex and Richter's killing intents were overflowing and made the whole atmosphere heavy. The two finally broke off from the melee and distanced themselves from each other. The gun on Alex's right hand was busted so he threw it away, and got his sword out instead.

Richter on the other hand removed his coat, and all the weapons he was carrying made a loud thud sound when they hit the floor. Richter then picked up two combat knives and took a stance. Once the two were ready they once again began to attack each other.
