Chapter 306 Angels smile (1/2)
Niel suddenly disappeared from Hektor and Lisa's sights. Hektor then saw an incoming sword from his left side, he was able to easily dodge this move by swaying his body a little. Lisa who finally spotted Niel started shooting at him, but then he used the wall and bounced of it disappearing from sight once more.
The sword that Niel threw then changed trajectory and was once again headed towards Hektor's head. Hektor seeing the incoming sword was about to swat it away with his hand but he was about to do that he noticed that he couldn't move his hands. He finally noticed that both his hands were wrapped tightly with wires.
Lisa who saw what was happening to Hektor started firing at the incoming sword which knocked it away. While Lisa was firing at the sword she suddenly felt someone was behind her. She quickly ducked and saw that Niel who was on all fours had pounced at her like an animal.
Lisa then saw Niel point his gun at her, which made her roll to evade the bullets. After shooting and missing, Niel once again disappeared from sight. His movements were too fast and erratic to follow.
...
Hektor who was trying to remove the wires that bound his hands felt that his whole body was being squeezed. It was then he saw that his whole body was now actually being wrapped tightly by wires. He wasn't even able to perceive when this happened. Still Hektor was able to quickly counter the move by tightening his muscles.
Niel who saw that he won't be able to finish off Hektor by using his wires, charged forth. He pulled back the sword he threw using his wires, and was now about to pierce through Hektor's heart with it; but the moment his blade hit Hektor's black uniform Niel's sword couldn't fully pierce through it and instead the sword gifted to him by Lyner was only able lightly stab Hektor's back.
It was not deep enough to cause too much damage, but the sword got stuck in Hektor's muscles. Failing to kill Hektor using his sword, Niel tried to smash his knee onto the back of Hektor's head, but was intercepted by Lisa who shot at Niel forcing him to back away.
Lisa then headed towards Hektor and stood back to back with him. Niel's speed was too much for them to subdue him without harming him too much, which meant it was possible that they might accidentally kill him. It was not hard to hit him, even with his speed, the real problem was the accuracy of the shots would fall greatly. Since the beginning killing Niel accidentally wasn't an option. They were here to capture him, and failure would result to them dying in the hands of Richter.
Hektor tightened his muscles and then expanded them breaking free from the wires. He then picked up the sword that was stuck on his back.
When Niel saw this he stopped moving, and tried to pull the sword back to him using his wires. Yet no matter how hard he pulled, Hektor just wouldn't let go. Hektor then noticed the desperate look on Niel's face. Hektor was able to quickly figure out that this sword was very important to Niel.
”Niel Rayheart, how about we make a deal.”
Hearing what Hektor said, Niel who was in a position that looked like a lion that was about to pounce simply glared at Hektor. Seeing that Niel wasn't speaking Hektor continued to speak.
”If you come with us silently, I will give back your sword. If you don't agree then I'll break it into two. What do you say Niel, deal?”
Neil closed his eyes and sighed. He was overconfident and attacked poorly without knowing the full extent of the opponents abilities.
