171 New Enemy, Hercules (2/2)
He came up with strategies and methods to win. That is why he wanted the equipment. And for which he got into the house of Carlos.
The other half of the day, Faust's squad faces Selena's squad led by Heracles. Selena's squad goes inside first to take their positions waiting for Faust and his squad.
Heracles and his squad are experts in close range combat. Heracles himself carries two small pistols that are lighter while moving. He can move really fast, doing acrobats and shooting at his enemies with his sharp aim.
But since they saw how Faust appears or jumps a distance in a blink of an eye, they position themselves in mid-range to be safe and the area that Faust and his squad would appear is all covered with wind and dust as a doing of Selena, wind element user. Gradually, the wind turned into a sand storm.
The strategies of the Heracles squad are simple. Firstly, Selena goes into the line of sight of the soldiers in a lane and runs upon seeing them, confusing and getting their focus shifted onto her, making the enemies think that she stumbled upon them by mistake and became a free kill. Meanwhile, a sand storm hits them hard making them blind and slowing them down.
This is when the others from Selena's squad are at an inclined angle from the prey that fell inside their trap.
Then comes the lightning element sniper with a purple coloured sniper rifle.
A black colour cloud forms above the enemy squad, with thunders falling onto them immediately burning them to a crisp, breaking their shields and paralyzing them. That is the moment Heracles jumps in the sand storm with his acrobatic skills, he takes down all of the squad with his pistols.
Heracles, a master at this deceiving/luring trap, has hundreds of traps In his mind that he can choose if the opponent starts predicting his previously laid traps.
The real match has begun, Faust and the others teleported inside the match. but Faust is instantly inside the main building. While Awarnach and Elton go left of Faust, hiding behind a wall for cover from the sand storm, Cameron goes to the right building and starts trying to spot the enemies.
*Bzzzztt~~*
Above the sandstorm is a black cloud raging and rumbling as the purple lightning traverses the whole cloud as if it's collecting the electricity from the cloud.
Shortly, all the lightning gathered at one spot, at the middle of the cloud fell onto the sand storm where Awarnach and Elton were taking cover. The lightning is like a roaring dragon descended from the heavens. The concrete walls and roads are ruptured with cracks and fissures, split opening the land, the arcs of lightning destroyed everything they touched.
The crowd goes silent, the person they are cheering till now is now in a pinch with four vs two. Everyone starts doubting the capabilities and powers of Faust and his squad.
Faust places his hands on the huge monitor that is arranged on a small table before him. ”Faust!” Cameron utters, trying to stop the fear that is creeping up to her heart.
They did not expect to stumble across a lighting user this soon, especially, a lightning user with strong spiritual energy.
”Great! Now, two of them are eliminated.” Heracles with an evil grin rejoices watching the aftermath of the lightning strike.
*slick*
Heracles hears a shot from behind and suddenly jumps into a suddenly from the rood, he sees that his sniper is taken down from behind.
”No one crossed us from front and flanked from behind right? We were watching carefully, weren't we?” Heracles asks his members in a panic. Lack of information on Faust and Cameron is making him confused. Who could possibly be behind him is what is making him panic.
”Obviously, there is no way we missed someone sneak from underneath us.” Fri, their assaulter replies.
”The remaining three went inside the buildings to take cover.” Cameron, who is behind Heracles and his squad, relates information to Faust.
”What the fuck are his abilities?” Heracles starts to think about what is going wrong. ”Selena! Go become a bait and scout the area.” He sends Selena out in the open lanes while him and the Fei, takes cover in the buildings and moves along with Selena, waiting for Faust and Cameron to go behind Selena.
”Two treasures are plundered!” Computer voice announces again in five minutes.
”Fuck!” The announcement made Heracles lost all of his hopes, he is dead inside with the sudden announcement.
”They both are in our buildings, let's go quickly to the main building to stop them.” Heracles immediately realises that Faust and Cameron are behind them in their buildings, he turns back and starts running towards the main building.
”Too easy.” A voice resonated within the darkroom in front of Heracles and his squad. They stopped in their traces. In the dark, they could see two green eyes glimmering brightly, devouring the light in the room.
Faust walks out of the room towards Heracles. Selena took steps back seeing Faust walking towards them with a smile on his face and his already drawn sword in his right hand.
”N-no way! How are you here so quickly? I don't think the sniper girl alone can do anything. It is your foolish mistake to come to us.” Heracles begins laughing at Faust for his foolish decisions.
”Yes! It takes a while to break the rock in the middle building.” Faust adds as he agrees with what Heracles said. ”Which is why all three of my squad are working on it, while I hold you both here.” Faust replies.
”All three? That is no-.”Heracles pauses to remember something important.
”Wait! Is it me or did the computer not announce the elimination of the first two guys?” The assaulter for Heracles asks everyone.
The laughing face of Heracles becomes pale, his eyes narrowing as he stares intensely at Faust.
Before the lightning fell onto Awarnach and Elton, they were both teleported to the two buildings of Hercules's squad and Cameron is teleported behind Heracles to take down the lightning element user, so he wouldn't give them much trouble.
After Awarnach and Elton took down both of the small treasure rocks, Faust appeared in front of Heracles to stall them until the treasure rock of the main building was plundered.
”You got me good, but you still made a mistake by coming before me.” Heracles with a poker face equips two white stones onto his body armour.
The white stone which enhances the physical attributes and fastens the moments of one person is already deadly by its immense strength and speed. But using two of them makes Heracles the strongest and fastest in his captain class.
”Fei, go to the main building, I will deal with him, Selena! Advance forward!” Heracles orders his subordinates.
Fei the assaulter immediately takes off towards the main building and Selena moves forward with her machine gun and Heracles moves while hiding behind Selena, using her as a shield and also to land surprise attacks.
Faust however, teleports in front of Fei, Selena starts shooting and Faust as he stands in front of Fei, stopping Fei in his tracks.
But to his surprise, Fei shows a smile, Faust looks towards Selena right away realising something is wrong, and all he can see is a cloud of dirt. All those bullets that Selena shot are not directed towards Faust but a wall, making it collapse, using it as a decoy. While Heracles takes off towards the main building with God speed.
Faust did not see anything of what happened while Selena was shooting. ”Nice move.” After he realises what happened and where Heracles went off to, Selena and Fei tackles him head-on shooting with their rifles at Faust.
