Chapter 1040: The nightingale and the trickster (1) (2/2)

Sasha was trying to delay time as long as she could. But the words she said is not false. What she is saying right now dos come from her emotions.

'I have killed a lot of people, Loki. I've shot them, stabbed them, suffocated them, I kill them in variety of way and I did not regret. I live in a world of darkness full of monsters. Evil men and women that ravage the world with their evil. And I'll come for them in the dark of night and rob them of the only thing they care about, their life. I have no pity or mercy toward monsters. But there is one thing that I avoided doing in my job. And that is to try not to kill innocent'

Loki smiles and said

'The Broker is far from innocent.' Sasha nodded

'But, he is trying to be good. Tell me, Loki. Out of everyone that survives the hellish landscape after the Fall, the Fake World power struggle, the Weronian War, is anyone that survives all of these events…. innocent? Those who sat at the highest seat in the world right now, from President Hirate to our very own Death Monarch, which one of them did not spill blood of innocent whether accidentally or intentionally?

'Playing towards my emotion. You have improved Sasha'

Loki then look at his left and right. He smiles and then made a grasping motion with his finger. The moment he did that a knife appears in his hand, formed from the green mist that still exist under his feet

Even though the green mist is scarce after creating that surge of energy, it is still around the house even though it is in low concentration

'Enough talking. I said all that needs to be said. I have told you what you needed to do' Sasha eyes narrowed. With that knife in Loki hands, Sasha knew that Loki is about to end the Broker life.

This time Sasha could no longer remains calm.

'Why wait?' finally the question that Sasha wanted to ask come out from her mouth. Loki only smiles and then he spins toward his back.

The knife held tightly in his hand. It is clear that he wanted to stab the Broker behind him. Sasha also made her move.

With her speed, she kicked the ground.

BOOOM! A supersonic explosion occurred as the ground that she had kicked were pulverized by the force of friction and speed.

In that brief moment, Sasha moves faster than lightning. And in that brief moment, she come in between Loki knife and the Broker unconscious body.

She is now in front of Loki and she push Loki hand that was holding the knife away. Loki strengthen his hand and while that deflection did stop his knife from reaching its target, his hand was not pushed away.

BOOOM!

A blast of shockwave exploded as both of them is in a stalemate as the flow of time around them become normal. Just now, they fight in a hyper speed environment.

Only now that they stopped that the blast that was contained during their fight in hyper speed was unleashed to the world.

Loki smirks and then using his other hand, he balls up his fist and punches toward Sasha chin. The simple movement created sonic boom that distorts the air and soundwaves.

Both of them once again moves in super speed.

Sasha evade to the right, as the punch misses its target.

The force of that punch shoot straight toward the sky, creating a powerful blast that clear up the sky and created another sonic boom in the sky

Sasha brought out her sword in that brief moment and began slashing toward Loki.

Her slash splits apart the air in front of her and created a tear in space. Loki hand that was holding the knife was released.

He smiles as he saw the sword intent were flying toward him

He was not panicked as he mutters

'Shield' one rune come out from his left palm and turns into an illusory shield that block all of the sword intent.

He moves out of the way and using that other hand he will finish what he has started. His knife once again about to attack the Broker when suddenly, his sure fire attack missed

In that brief moment when Loki was defending against the shield by throwing one of his rune to the sky, Sasha uses an illusory rope to tied itself around the Broker and pull him to her.

So, as Loki was trying to stab the Broker, Sasha pull the Broker towards her causing him to miss.

Loki smiles as he kicks the ground underneath his feet.

The entire ground shakes before it exploded.
