Chapter 322 How could it be you? (1/2)

Oliver and the others had safely distanced themselves from the Executioner. They were so focused on running they that they didn't notice that one of them was missing. The three of them with no knowledge of what happened to Kris, kept on running forward heading outside of the city.

...

Kris who was left behind tried his very best to delay the Executioner for as long as he could, but that proved to be quite difficult since he was outmatched in every way. The few seconds he tried to delay the Executioner, Kris got some of his toes cut off, and he had numerous scratches on him.

The Executioner was surprise to see Kris still alive, since from the start all of his attacks were meant to claim the enemy's life in one strike. Yet here stood Kris who was able to survive ten slashes from him. The Executioner could no longer see Oliver and the others. Well not that it matters that much to him, it will only make the job a bit more tedious, but that was all. In the end all shall die by the Executioner's blade.

”Damn it, if I'm going to die then I better go all in! I hope you're ready Executioner!” Kris took out two Syringes and injected himself with it. One of the syringes had the nanomachines in it. Unlike Richter, Hektor, and the Executioner, Kris wasn't a person that could handle the nanomahcines. To be able to fully utilize the nanomachines, a person must have a strong mind bordering insanity, and a body strong enough to withstand the infusion of the nanomachines into the bloodstream.

Kris wasn't someone capable enough to use the nanomachines, that's why he injected himself with a serum that enhances his body's functions for five minutes. The drawback of using this serum, was after the five minute mark the person who uses it would feel extreme exhaustion, and the body would become paralyzed for about twenty seconds, which would give the enemy all the time to kill him ten times over.

Kris didn't really care about the side effects since this might be his last time breathing. After he injected himself with the two, Kris felt his body heating up. The lost hand and toes could no longer be healed, but the pain was now gone.

The Executioner wasn't really bothered by this final stand, and attacked. Kris tossed a gun upwards then he took out another pistol and started shooting. The Executioner was able to easily deflect the bullets, and was now close enough to slice the opponent's head off.

Kris who was being boosted by the serum that was injected into him could now clearly see the Executioner's movements. So with that boost he was now able to somehow predict and counter the Executioner's moves, Kris then tried to kick the Executioner's abdomen. The Executioner was able to react on time and blocked using the scythe's shaft. Kris strength which was enhanced was able to make the Executioner stagger from that kick, with that delay Kris was able to jump upward and caught the gun he tossed seconds ago.

Kris then started raining bullets at the Executioner. The Executioner was unable to regain balance in time and got hit by some bullets, before he was able to evade by jumping backward and dodging sideways.

This was the first time he had gotten damaged while hunting traitors. Though the wound quickly healed because of the nanomachines, the shock he received was still there. The Executioner was expecting Kris' abilities to rise because of the things he injected into himself, but the Executioner didn't expect it to be to this degree.

The Executioner who was momentarily shocked in his mind, continued evading Kris' shots. Once Kris ran out of bullets the Executioner charged inward and chopped downward. Kris was able to block the scythe using his handgun, but then he felt something pierced through his skin.

In retaliation Kris did a somersault kick hitting the Executioner's mask. The mask the Executioner was wearing was blown away as he staggered a bit. Kris on the other hand, was also feeling a bit unstable.

The Executioner was actually able to throw a knife coated with poison while they were clashing. The knife stuck into Kris' stomach. Kris got a hold of the knife and took it out, the pain assaulted him but only momentarily. The nanomachines inside of Kris wasn't able to fix the wound while the poison was spreading.

So first the nanomachines made Kris puke out the poison. Kris started coughing out blood, and with it the poison. Once the poison was gone the nanomachines started closing the wound. While all of these was happening Kris was looking at the Executioner. Even though he was a bit dizzy he couldn't let his guard down.

The Executioner who no longer had a mask on, stabilized himself and calmly looked at Kris. When Kris saw who was in front of him, he couldn't hide his surprise.
