Chapter 324 This isnst enough (1/2)

The surrounded Executioner continued to wait for the three to attack. Even though he could end this battle in a flash, now that he had some of his restraints removed, he didn't do so since he wasn't sure if he might accidentally kill the three. Now that Richter ordered him to bring the three back alive, he just couldn't attack carelessly. Also he didn't really like the idea of ending the battle too quickly. Seeing as this was the first time he would be able to use at least seventy percent of his strength he wanted to get a better feel of it.

The Executioner would always do his job in the most efficient way possible. Seeing as his job was just basically killing traitors, he just needed to kill his opponents in one strike. He was also ordered to show the opponent fear before death, so sometimes he needed to slowly approach the opponent, and once it was established that he was getting scared, the Executioner would kill the enemy.

Yet now he was ordered to capture people alive. This was something new to him, so for now he planned to toy with his enemies until they show an opening giving him the chance to make them faint.

...

Joseph was the first to move as he threw a grenade. The Executioner using the scythe as a baseball bat swatted the grenade towards Raphael who shot it down in mid-air. This one move was the signal for the start of the battle.

Raphael and Joseph started shooting at the Executioner who simply lowered his stance to evade the initial shots, and then swayed his body back and forth to evade the others. He then noticed that Oliver had gotten close enough to slash at him. The Executioner scooped a large amount of water from the rice field he was standing on and threw it at Oliver's face.

Due to Oliver being extremely tense and wary, when he saw the Executioner move he was about ready to counter. So when the water was about to get close to his face Oliver did a chopping motion trying to slice the water. This gave the Executioner an opening to attack. The Executioner spun like a top and was about to hit Oliver in the face using the shaft of the scythe.

Oliver let go of his sword and blocked the attack with his right hand. When he felt how strong the attack was he immediately used his other hand to block as well. Oliver was able to stop the strike and got hold of the Scythe's shaft. Oliver then tried to steal the Executioner's scythe.

When Oliver tried to pull it away he couldn't even make the scythe budge from the Executioner's hands, it was stuck onto the Executioner's hands. Oliver who was taller and had a bigger frame than the Executioner was confused as to how come he was being outmatched in strength.

'Is he using something similar to Alex's RELEASE technique?' When Oliver was about to change tactics he felt his body being lifted up. The Executioner was actually able to lift the scythe up alongside Oliver. The Executioner was then about make a move, when Oliver suddenly tried to strike him with a kick. The Executioner moved the scythe making Oliver who was holding onto it miss his target.

While the two were fighting in close combat, Raphael silently snuck behind the Executioner. He created a spear using his outer nanomachines, and was about to strike but then the he felt an arm gripping his neck. The Executioner already noticed him coming near, and just waited until he was close enough to grab onto Raphael's neck.
