78 Predator 5 (2/2)

Han took a step back and watched with great focus.

”KKYAAAA-!!”

”OOOH! WAAARARA!”

The Elu screamed as it ran to Schwartz. Schwartz held his sword in front of him as he ran forward. Everyone watched the battle unwravel.

Weeng.

A soft sound of psychic energy resonated. The running Elu suddenly disappeared. It only left an after image with its psychic energy.

'Blink?'

”KUUaH!”

Herald screamed behind Han. A knife struck through his neck. The sword slashed through and blood sprayed out. An Elu stood behind Herald. The glowing red eyes menacingly smiled.

Swaaa!

It struck through half of Heralds neck. Corporal Zhai shot his gun in wrath.

”Bastard!”

The Elu used Herald's body as a meat shield and gradually retreated. Herald croaked in a low mumble. He spoke by moving his mouth.

”Shoot...”

There was no hope for Herald now. Corporal Zhai gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger without mercy. He shot Herald and the Elu simultaneously.

”KEEEEEE!” The Elu screamed and hurried to escape. Bullets pinned the Elu's body and left a trail of blood on the floor.

The Elu hurried across the corridor for a long while until it disappeared. It used blink again to hide itself. It blinked to an unknown direction.

”Zhai, how's Herald?”

Corporal Zhai shook his head. Herald was long dead.

'If Private Herald was never short, could Herald have been saved…?'

Han thought of the choices of that moment. Corporal Zhai mercilessly shot Herald. Han understood that was the correct choice.

Herald would have died either way. They didn't have the leisure to let any chances go. Zhai and Herald experienced numerous battles together and understood instinctively.

'I probably wouldn't have been able to shoot. If it had been Kuro or Jose… I would have tried to save them until the end.'

Schwartz watched Han's empty looking eyes.

”Chan! Get a hold of yourself.”

”It's… Han.”

Han mumbled and reflexively looked up at him. A bit of strength returned to his lifeless eyes.

”What did you deduce from the situation just now?”

Han didn't want to think, but he forced himself to put together the pieces of the puzzle. This was the result of his long training and habits.

”It cannot use blink consecutively. It cannot manifest a psychic shield and blink at the same time. This attack had also been a gamble for the enemy. And it was a success.”

”However, it suffered an attack as a result.”

Han looked to Herald. He was a friendly soldier. He was also brave.

”If I was in your place, Squad leader Schwartz, as a squad leader… I would immediately chase our enemy. I will also exterminate it.”

”Are you planning on revenge? Chan?”

Han hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.

”No. This is the best time to attack. It is injured now, and depleted much of its psychic energy. We should split to increase our search area. If we surround it, it shouldn't be able to escape via blink.”

Schwartz expressed a crooked smile. The youth's eyes were burning with fury.

”I agree. Let us start this hunt.”

Squad Victor moved forward. The situation has reversed. Now, they were the hunter.
