Vol 1 Chapter 3 (2/2)
obviously not being ht was that from the stars
above, the streetlights near the building weren’t operational
Both of the
At the end of the rear alley they found an iron gate
It had lost a lot of its original paint, there was considerable rust on it
They glanced around again and saw no sign of the enemy
“——It’s locked”
Kane said, he was fiddling with the doorknob
“That’s for sure, it’s an abandoned building after all……”
“I guess I’ll just have to cut open the door”
“Stop!”
Millie panicked and stopped Kane froht sabre
“……Why did you stop me?”
“Don’t you realize that people could notice us? Didn’t you even stop to think of the
consequences?”
“Well……”
“Exactly, now leave it to a professional”
Millie took a hairpin from her head, and fitted it into the keyhole
“A hairpin?”
“Yeah, I think common sense is more convenient in this situation……”
Click, a moment later Millie pressed the door handle and it opened
“We’re in”
Both of the from down the
hallway
“……It’s a hall”
Millie whispered to Kane
They could see a faint figure in the hall
“…This is bad, we can’t just foolishly enter the hall”
Kane was right, for there’s nowhere to hide in a hall, and if Zenan’s
in the corners of the hall they would descend upon them like locusts
“……Listen, Millie I’ll go in first, if it’s safe I’ll give you the signal to enter”
“Coet rid of me that easily”
Millie revealed an angry expression
“Fine, but re on this job”
Kane nodded to Millie, then he entered the rooht sabre at the ready
He took a few steps forward, then——
He stopped , the room went dead quiet
Millie could clearly see Kane standing in the hall
“What’s wrong?”
Millie couldn’t help but break the silence, she opened the door
“——Don’t come in”
Kane calmly said
“…What happened? Is it the enemy?”
“——It’s not the enemy”
“So, what is it then?”
“Just shut up, don’t come over here!”
“Up yours!”
Then, Millie rushed over to Kane
“Millie!”
Ignoring Kane, she went to see what Kane was looking at
“5F”
This text was in front of them
It was spray painted in white and red,
“……Ah!”
There was so
It took Millie a while to realize what it was, it wasn’t a mannequin——it was a real
person
“It’s Clay……”
Kane mumbled
There wasn’t even a scar on his face, his head was cut off from the rest of his body,
it was lying not far away from his head
His face had the expression of terror and despair
There wasn’t even any blood, the light sabre made sure of that, it was so unreal
“——This is——”
An intense wave of nausea came upon them
Millie then spoke in a weak voice
“……They want us to go to the fifth floor, that’s where the final battle will be fought”
“Probably”
Kane then left the room and silently walked up to the second floor, Millie followed
behind him
On the second floor they found an elevator, the poas still working
Kane pressed the elevator button
After the doors opened, he pressed the button for the fifth floor
Both of theency stairs and climbed to the fifth floor,
Millie struggled to keep up
After a while, they reached the fifth floor
It was a spacious room, most of the curtains were closed and there was only one
working light in the room
“——Took you long enough”
Zenan aiting for Kane
“——You bastard!”
Kane shouted
Millie iun
“What are you thinking?”
Zenan sneered
“At this point I don’t care if you are with nightmare or not, I just want to kill you”
“I’htmare!”
“…Maybe…but I don’t care”
“You monster, you killed Clay!”
Millie shouted
“And?”
Millie raised her tranquilizer gun, she was dead set on shooting him
Kane stopped her
“Why?”
Zenan laughed
“Coht”
“How do I know that all the guys you have back there will not interfere?”
“Don’t worry, this fight will be a one on one”
Kane looked back at Millie
“Millie, you wait outside”
“Not going to happen, she stays here We need a witness”
Zenan calht hand
“Enough talk!”
Whoosh!+
Zenan’s light sabre lit up the room
Kane powered up his light sabre too, he sloalked towards Zenan
Zenan made the first move
Both of their sabre’s clashed, a crackling sound could be heard around the room
Meanwhile, Zenan kicked Kane’s right leg
“Ahh!”
Kane ju
Zenan instantly came after him
Kane dodged his attack and struck back, but Zenan’s defence was too strong
Zenan was even stronger than Kane expected
However, Kane had speed and technique on his side, though he knew that wouldn’t
win the battle alone
Kane and Zenan continued to clash sabres
This time Zenan used his elbow to hit Kane in the face, naturally Kane regained his
balance fairly quickly
Zenan dashed towards hiain
After several repeated atte to show on his face
“Well, Kane! I didn’t expect ht from you!”
Kane smiled back at him
“——Looks like you can’t handle me, you ready to die yet?”
“Shut your mouth!”
Zenan roared
Kane saw Zenan trying to rush hiain
“Are you ready to die?!”
Zenan shouted, that was followed by the roo dark
“What?!”
Kane had struck the only working light in the room
“No!”
“Ah!”
Screams sounded out across the room
After Kane had turned off the lights he had killed the guys hiding behind the curtain
“Ah! Turn on the lights!”
Zenan screamed
“Kane!”
Millie said, just as someone pushed by her
“He’sa break for it!”
“Coo after him!”
Kane shouted,his way to the exit
“I can’t see him”
Millie looked down the staircase, there wasn’t a trace of Zenan
“Then he’s gone up! Come on!”
“No, he definitely went downstairs”
Millie said as she shook her head
“The bastard couldn’t win so he ran, figures”
Click, click
They heard a sound transmission
Millie was startled
“Don’t worry, it’s mine”
Kane pulled out his communicator
“——Kane, I……”
It was Canal from the Sword Breaker
“What’s up? I’m kind of busy here!”
“I was eavesdropping in the Martian coole
Connection istheir fleet”
“I don’t think that’s so we should be concerned about!”
Kane unhappily replied back
“I haven’t got the tio after Zenan!”
“Zenan?”
Canal said
“That’s the assassin you anization
called hi”
“What was it about?”
“He was told to io to the spaceport, he also received some other
information……”
“spaceport?”
He repeated her like a parrot
“What else did they tell him?”
Canal replied in a low voice
“Nightole Connection”
