Everyone here has done a lot of wrong things for survival, but they don't think it is wrong, even if it is not right either. thanks to this, the Seraphim can barely live here.
It is a place in darkness, darker than what I have encountered in my previous travels. There is a moment when I suspect that everything I have done is meaningless. Why would such a place exist? Why would it sustain? It is obviously such a painful place.....
The world has indeed improved compared with the previous ones, but humans have stopped at this point. Is there any change at all? Still, I believe in human, like how Maotelus has believed.
We have just been rescued from Beta and we were taken to their guild. Although it was not the first time we come, it is now the time we are officially invited. I haven't noticed before that their guild is more home-like than anywhere else. From the outside, it is a three-storey big house. The roof is covered by classic tiles, the whole building is basically a combination of red, white and yellow colors, giving a warm feeling. Inside is the big bar lobby that we met Ophelia, all of them are warm wooden finishing. Everyone should be here to meet and pick up the task, but I can't imagine what kind of tasks are there. Velvet seems to not let me get any closer to have a look every time and we didn't go up the stairs to the upper floor, so I don't know what's on it.
Zaveid took us to the upper reception room. Beta said everything. After hearing about everything, I was worried about her mental condition. Zaveid let her leave for a while and told us about his recent activities, including how did he get to be with the girl that with the nearly identical face as Velvet.
I can't imagine how he would have a family. When I met him, he was a man who was unconstrained like wind, only worked for his own goals, and he was always alone. He was like a big brother, but I couldn’t imagine how he taught children. Though Beta seems very obedient in front of him.
If Zaveid has spent so much effort into finding her, I can be sure that he has kept her in his mind. Then he must have his consideration in arranging for her to explain the weapons to us.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjQSr3Nclb
Beta and Velvet are two different people, but maybe she is a workaholic like Velvet, so Zaveid decided to treat her like usual.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu6gI7JWiY
Going down the stairs, walking down the narrow corridor, we are following Beta to the warehouse of their guild.
“Hey, are you really okay?” Although she looks fine, I still worry about her and I decided to ask.
“.....I am fine. Zaveid didn't ask anything, why would you ask?”
“But..... that kind of thing happened…….” Hard to believe that she saw such horrible things but didn’t turn into a hellion.
“Something must be done for the people here when compared to this. Will you two help us?”
Perhaps it is because of the existence of such a person that the people here have the courage to live in extreme circumstances. Even if this place is worse, there is not just pain and darkness, hope also exists here. And because it is dark, let people see the light more clearly, even if there is only a little hope, they will try hard to catch up. That’s perhaps what Ophelia think to be interesting in this place and Zaveid does not seem to hate this place too.
“Yes, but You trust us?” Velvet is silent until now.
“Not really, especially for a suspicious person like you.”
“Very honest, what are you going to do?”
“Honestly explain the weapon to you guys as I was told to do so. Although you look dangerous, I'll use whatever means are available to me.”
“Oh?” Velvet smirked.
“ Zaveid believes in you guys, then I will try to trust.”
“You really believe in Zaveid.” I stated.
“He is like a father figure to me, a dump dad sometimes though.”
Beta brought us to a room full of weapons, unlike the ancient time, the weapons here are almost blunt, the one with the blade is usually small.
“Here is the warehouse in the guild, just choose a weapon and I will talk about it.”
“Before this, may I have my blade repair?” Velvet asked and gave her Broken Gauntlet Blade to Beta. Fighting with a fruit knife is just horrible.
“That’s the first time I see someone using a blade to fight. It is not common nowadays, how did you get that blade?” Beta takes the Gauntlet Blade from Velvet and asked.
“It is from my parent. I use to fight with it.” Velvet explained. It may be a lie, maybe she just bought from the ancient weapon shop but I bet she can’t just tell the truth as it is ridiculous to people nowadays.
“Got it, I will try to find someone to fix it, I have seen a similar design before.” Beta answered after checking the retractable part in the Gauntlet Blade.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ut1f5GF6y
“So….I want to ask about this weapon.” When Velvet is talking about her weapon, I discovered a weapon similar to what we saw in the room but a smaller one. It is a black cold metal weapon with a trigger.
“Surprised me, you guys don’t know about it? It is a thing called gun, quite used to show in some TV programme, isn’t it?” Beta said in an annoyed tone.
“Umm, what is TV programme?” I asked with a helpless smile.
“Come on! What time are you guys live in?” Beta shocked by my question.
“Well…...500 years ago…..”
“......Huh? Fine, whatever…..a gun can shoot out the bullet with quick shocking force caused by the Gunpowder explosion.” Beta took the gun and hold it in a downward direction. She installs a back chamber with a shining bullet in the gun. She loaded the gun by pulling the upper part slide back, the upper part is retracted into its original position while we hear a sound.
“If you target the important part of the body, it can be a deadly weapon. We got quite of them but we don’t usually use it. We aim to win without dying.” Beta targeted the human-figure cardboard with a certain distance from here and pressing the trigger to shoot. Her body sightly fell backward by the force but she managed to fix herself by the standing position. A hole with smoke created on the heart position just after the shoot.
“That’s a naive thought.” Velvet commended.
“Yes, it is. Since death may induce malevolence, we don’t want our dear leader to be affected, but we just minimize kill as much as possible.” Beta agreed and explained.
“Zaveid is the leader?!” I shocked.
“Yes, kind of, although he is not doing many things, and I am the one talk for him.”
“By the way, why would you guys have such an amount of guns when you don’t use it.” Velvet asked.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNpOjWuTFt
“We stole them from the Mafia. We don’t use it, and we don’t want to let them use it too.”
“........You mentioned the word Mafia before, what is it exactly?” I asked and then Beta sighed. Probably lamenting our ignorance, this is also a helpless thing. Now is an era farther away from us. There are many new things, but the whole essence of society has not changed.
“The Mafia is an organized criminal group that everyone is afraid of, and no one knows their true scale. Like the Mafia-Family that protects(governs) here, their territory is not only here, but there is also a strong backstage supporter. Their main way to make money is through illegal means, including prostitution, drug sales, extortion protection fees, and human trafficking as I mentioned. I may turn a blind eye on other things, but only human trafficking is unacceptable.”
“Why? You are saying the other illegal things are acceptable!?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXYfeQNgtQ
“Not really, but reluctantly, drug abuse and prostitution can be regarded as the choice of those people, and this is the way they live. The mafia also has people they want to protect, and they depend on it for a living. It’s not my turn to disagree.”
“Why can’t you disagree when you disagree with them? Why don’t just drive them away?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm0Q0o71tX
“No, I said here is their territory, and this illegal slum complex exists based on their protection. People lived here are too poor to live outside. If it is cleared by the outside government, everyone will become homeless, like those who line up outside the church every day and there will not be enough capacity. Here live thousands of people. Despite the harsh life, we desperately protect our home. The Mafia is a must here.”
“A complex reason, huh, and you sound like you don’t hate them at all.”
“After all, the origin of the Mafia is also a self-defense group against the invaders spontaneously established by the people in the war. However, as their scale grow, they twisted into a large-scale criminal group. Everyone join them may have their backstory.”
“We have a fight against them, do you have the way to hold them?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmi96jMNHX
“No, it is just gambling with life, and the strength will be the necessary bargaining chip.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBRJkokdnW
“That is it, I do not hate people like you. As I said, I will help. Let’s continue…...what is this?” Velvet takes out her rod and asked.
“That’s an electric rod, a good insight of weapon choice but I bet you didn’t use it properly. With this……” Beta took the rod and hit it to the metal desk while pressing down the bottom. A current strikeout, some paper on the desk is burning.
“You may let someone suffer from electric stock to knock down someone and also burn down things. It works well with the metal product.” Beta hand over the rod to Velvet. Velvet and I shocked a little bit with the performance of the rod actual function. Velvet contemplates her left hand as her mechanic prosthesis is made of aluminum, she should be careful for it.
We spend an hour to realize all the weapons in the warehouse and we need to prepare for the future gang battle with them.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU63ogLMxk
“Surprisingly, not many hellions appeared in the Lost Tower.”Velvet said.
“I was told that people don’t emit malevolence if they believe what they did is right. For the people in here, everything is correct for survival.” I answered.
“Are you sure you help them to fight, you may just leave the work to me.” Velvet suggested that she will be the only one who joins the fight. I wonder if she is worrying me.
“ I will continue, as I promised to Zaveid, and it is also to protect the citizen in here.” I confirmed my determination after realizing how this place exists.
“Fine, if you think you won’t regret this...... it is hard to imagine the guild works for other’s goods but not for themselves.”
“I believe they work for both, that is why the citizen in here like Beta and the guild that much.”
“I guess so……”
We return to the reception room for Zaveid.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoCDh1z8YS
“How is it? You heard all from Beta, quickly choose your weapon if you didn’t have one. I have heard that they are gathering for us. Of course, we are assembling too.”
“I still choose the electric rod.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOdDVgguGd
“I still use my ceremonial sword.”
“....What’s the point in explaining modern weapons?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC1r74rxaM
“Nope, it is meaningful. After we got the target, only to swing our sword.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5xqmb2qyB
“Needless for me to tell, not only human here, but also people turned into hellions. Now, none of you possess the power of purification or power of hellion, don’t force yourself in the fighting. If you have to kill, kill it.”
“........” I insisted to disagree with killing, it is wrong.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbs229rtuU
“If you cannot kill, then escape, Sorey. People here are not friendly that you can persuade with words. Even if you have the power of purification, you may not purify these people who are stubbornly obsessed with obscurity.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfR9jtQqEj
“But”
“I said that hellions belong to hell. You should be very clear about the results of kindness on the battlefield.”
“........”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRlpXgCecQ
“If you really can’t kill, I will do it for you. I have killed countless people.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb36pkhmPG3
“!!...No way! Those people have their reasons!”
“Despite this, they chose the path, they possessed the consciousness that one day to be killed. I just happened to be the one who finished their lives.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6iL4rmzei
“.......You can also not kill.”
“Zaveid said kill when we have to kill and it is questionable that I can kill them. For survival, I will still kill, I have done it countless time.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRhXxVYZ88
“.....Can't just let you carry things that I don't want to do......I....”
“.....Shocked that you possessed such a thought. I was the Lord of Calamity killed countless people, did you forget? If you are not prepared, don’t force yourself. You have killed, but you didn’t want to kill or you were forced to. I don’t want you to get tainted.”
“I…..will not be tainted.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLu4fvo8Y4
“I know, but I don’t want your hands staining. I don’t want next despair Shepherd, I can’t take the risk. Please, understand.” Unlike usual, it is not a strong request, Velvet said like begging and it is more than I can refuse. I understand. She had an older brother had lived with her for nearly ten years, then he did that kind of horrible things to his and her only family after despair. To trust one Shepherd not to despair would be difficult for her, as her tragedy was created by the despair Shepherd.
“But you!.... What can I do?”
“Defeat them, and live. You have someone important to you who you haven't seen yet, aren’t you? The water seraph you always mention. If you turn into a Hellion, what would you think? You can’t even touch him.”
“Can’t touch Mikleo…” It is a future I can’t imagine. Every day we do a fist bump when we meet or before we explore the ruin, to say I am willing to accept the challenge. And the next time I see him, I will tightly hug him and I believe he would do the same thing as well. It is a future I can’t bear.
“Right….Worrying the next moment he would turn into a dragon, but still, want to be with him. You will need to hold yourself from touching him. Even if he wants to touch you, you should dodge. Even if he falls, you can’t help him up……..You don’t want this, right?” She shows a lonely expression when she is speaking and she spoke like her personal experience, presumably this is her mood at the moment of she was traveling with Maotelus.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PtBUHkrwt
“......Yes.”
“You are ……...unexpectedly a gentle person.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjld8ADz8ed
“Having said that, Zaveid…...you’ve changed.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiMURYqhmE
“Saying me half-naked?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD4naCGumo
“I already said that. Although it is hard to believe, it is the condition of the oath, isn’t it? The thing I wanted to talk about is that you said, to kill the hellions. You used to totally disagree with killing hellions and even dragons…..Right, I said that this guy revived the dragon to fight my party, that is when he conflicted his creed of no-kill with us.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj5W1jsZpI
“How is that possible?! I met him when he killed the hellion in front of us and he claimed to kill the dragon. We had encountered several times for that.”
“ Well, after a thousand years, what do you expect? It was your group of wayward people who taught me ‘Killing is also a way of salvation.’. I hated to kill, even if that brings trouble to the others, I insist on my creed. After you had gone, I was still insisting on my creed.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr4wZfv2tc
“You paid a lot of effort for your creed then….how is that turned opposite?”
“After the not-to-kill that brought disaster to the world, and it hurt my friend, inevitably…” He recalled thoughtfully.
“........Sorry.” Velvet also recalled thoughtfully, but she says nothing apart from an apology.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95vHkzWRRm
“Nevermind, I mentioned it myself. Sorey, don’t repeat my mistake.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wIGU7ioE7
“...okay.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0wlDqv81y
“Right, can’t talk more, they arrived.”
When noticed, the environment has already become noisy. Looked down from the indoor terrace outside from the reception room, there are people assembled in the bar lobby, all are the people come to protect the guild ‘Wild Wolf’.
“The Mafia surrounded us outside.” Beta is a bit trembled to state the situation.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOvaK281jM
“No problem, we are all together, we will find a way.” Zaveid patted on Beta’s shoulder to calm her.
“I will count on you guys.” She looked at us.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVymuYhspye
“Leave it to us.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVnJfhuTRe

In a mid-rise building, there are two Seraphim who are related to the guild but acting like a stranger.
Ophelia: “Rare of you, you actually came to observe it, really really care about the person who called SOREY?”
President: “Also that, too few things I know about him.”
Ophelia: “Look like you still haven’t talked to Mikleo. You know how much he misses Sorey, every time he comes he will ask for the news of Sorey.”
President: “I can’t leave a fake hope to him when I am not sure, and it is difficult to find him when he goes everywhere to explore.”
Ophelia“You just want to be the prior one to meet Sorey, isn’t it?”
President: “Oh, that obvious? Anyway, who is the woman looks exactly to Beta that standing next to ‘SOREY’?”
Ophelia: “She is the one I am interested in, the first Lord of Calamity. Strictly speaking, the first one who got the name.”
President: “What?!........okay. If the one down there is the real Sorey, it will be no problem. And I am no longer the one standing next to him.”
Ophelia:“...Boring. And you are not going to help our ally guild as the president of the alliance, aren’t you?”
President: “This is the battle for the survival of the Wild Wolf Guild, which we are allied with. I am very clear, so I will watch. However, this dispute between humans, I will not interfere. This is the trial they need to cross.”
Ophelia: “Well, you will help when the time come.”
President: “I believe as long as they have Zaveid and Beta, also Sorey and the first Lord of Calamity, there will not need my presence.”
They looked down from the sky, it is all black, apart from a space left for the people in the building trapped in it to have a place to stand up.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXYh7PGtSp
The outside area of the guild can be regarded as an avenue for many people to gather. Now half of the space on this avenue is full of people, and every street connected to it is filled with people wearing suits and holding weapons. Most of them are holding blunts, but the front row of people are armed with guns. They come for a fight, and obviously, the Mafia has the superior numbers, they hold the advantage.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwEpaeKd9X
Now Zaveid, Beta, Sorey and Velvet are standing in the front line of the guild to face the
enemy.
“We don't want to fight. The request is just to stop your human trafficking. There are still many ways to make money, right?” Beta stood out to talk for her leader.
“Hah, what qualifications do you have to make comments on us? Don't forget that we have always protected you. Of course, we can do anything on you. How about we sold your entire guild this time?” The Mafia boss standing behind his people talked.
“No joke. Just because this is where we live, then we have a responsibility to protect our lives! Don't forget that many of your sources of protection fees are from the people here. How many times do we have to hinder you from continuing the Human trafficking? You are not qualified to decide our lives!” Beta talked for the people living in the Lost Tower.
“Then are you decided to resist? with such a small amount of people? Not to mention that some of your people are trembling. It’s a joke!” The boss teased.
“Yes, we are afraid. Here all the people of guild lived in the same place with me, who always stand with me with joy and sorrow, will never be forgotten. My bonds with them are my greatest treasure! Gather here my brethren!”
“Rahhhh!” The people of the guild cried to strengthen their bravery.
“Glory lies further beyond, there may be only 1% of a possibility to win. We challenge to get the 1%!”
“Ay! Ay! Ay!” The people of the guild answered to forge their determination.
“Now, all of us will fight. The winner state the request, you have stated yours, now us. If we win, you will continue to protect this and promise not to kidnap the people here for human trafficking! ”
“Ha ha! remarkably brave! To your guts, and we accept your unreasonable demands! The premise is if you can really win it!”
“Ok! Everyone here today listens to your promises, don’t back out the deal! You guys! Come together after 5 seconds!”
“5 seconds? Ha!”The boss raised his hand and then waved it down. Seeing the order, the people in the front line prepare their guns to shoot.
“Zaveid! Takes care of the bullets if they shoot.”
At the moment, two of them standing in front of the guild acted magically in sync to remove guns from the front line before they shoot out any bullet. Almost immediately after seeing the enemy raise his hand, Beta jumped and stepped on the front of the two men to take the gun. Noticed Beta took actions, Velvet also rushes towards the people on the left side. She performs a clockwise spin, striking the enemies with her right foot blade and let the shock unstabilizes the guns from their hands.
“Only 5 seconds.” Zaveid answered with the preparation of seraphic arte for the necessary case.
“That’s enough.” Beta took off the submachine gun on the hand of the person who was stepped on, the person then fall.
4 seconds left.
Without a break, Beta knocked down the one in front of her at his abdomen with the gun stock. During the time, the gun accidentally fired and shot down the one behind her. Meanwhile, Velvet shut the muzzle with her aluminum arm, so that even if the gunfire happens, it won’t hurt her. She grabbed the two guns in her own hands and threw the gun-owners away.
3 seconds left.
Grabbing the gun barrel with both hands, Beta swings the submachine gun like a bat and knocked down another man with the gun. And Velvet puts both of her index fingers on the triggers as Beta once demonstrated.
2 seconds left.
Some of the enemies see the situation and planned to throw her down, but Beta propped the muzzle against the people come and shot them in zero-distance. Meanwhile, she swings down her knife to the person flutter towards her in another side. And Velvet pulled the trigger, shooting all the people in front of her randomly, she decided to take the action until there is no bullet left.
1 second left.
Then Beta jumped into the air as using others as a pedal, then she used the submachine gun to shoot the mafia. Velvet and Beta together knocked and shot down a quarter of the Mafia people.
“Onward! To victory!” Beta throws the smoke bomb towards the Mafia at the moment she landed. The smoke is spreading out among the Mafia group.
“Ay! Ay! Blaze the path to victory!” The members of the guild standing in the direction of the semicircular radial are excited about the 5-second kill, they answered the order.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa9tEtHkzZ
All the members rush onward and clash with the Mafia group while Velvet is still shooting out bullets from the submachine guns when running forward.
“Huh, no need for my seraphic arte now.” Zaveid is impressed that Beta and Velvet knocked out the front line of Mafia in 5 seconds while no bullets ever shot out.
It is the fight between groups, a fight between the weak and the strong, there is never a solo fight if they know they are weak.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhQIiTW6NV
--------------------------------------------------------15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKIw4Butfw
Sorey dazed in confusion as to the fight started in a sudden after a chain of the amazing move of Beta and Velvet to disarm their guns.
Zaveid shakes Sorey and reminds: “Don’t daze at the fight, no everyone has enough spare time to save you.”
“Even Zaveid? Won’t you help to save the people?”
“I will help but try not to help too much since this is a fight between humans. Other Seraphim would also say that.” Then he looked up to see the two Seraphim sitting on the rooftop and watching the fight.
Ophelia: “Oops, we are discovered.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8iyAvMqc6
President: “Expected. He can hear the wind in the radius of ten miles. Any sound like loading the gun cannot escape unless they installed a sound suppressor.”
Both of them continue to watch the fight.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7OLH0Tp74
-------------------------------------------------------------15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmeaG6YXxY
With Beta leading at the forefront, and all the members of the guild are advancing in the direction of radiation sweepingly. Like a march that is crossing the vast desert, the pace and momentum are so strong that they raise dust and storm. In the smoke, they quickly knock down each of the enemies in front of them.
No one can see the enemy clearly in the smoke, so beta lets everyone move forward, and everyone does not hesitate to beat up the people block in front of themselves. Sorey and Velvet can’t rely on the visibility to sense the enemies too, but they already have a similar experience once when they are ambushed in a blackout warehouse. Fortunately, the enemy has no advanced tools to help them see people clearly in the darkness or in the smoke. They can attack or defend against the enemies by other senses in this temporary smoke.
The smoke should be dissipated in a minute, but some people in the guild sustain it by throwing another smoke bomb.
Inside the smoke, Sorey fight with a group of Mafia people that formed when he just noticed. He can’t really catch up from the surrounding situation. Still, he dodges as he feels that he will be attacked from his instinct.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ791p7nIPOu
However, his body is not moving, he is locked in position by someone. He screams badly inside and tries to struggle out from the lock when he sensed a few people are running towards him.
Beez.
He managed to knock down one behind him by his head and the people rushing towards him are knocked out with the flash of a lightning strike out.
“Be careful, Shepherd.” Velvet instructed and then went to another side again.
“Thanks.” Sorey continued to fight against others after free from the lock.
“Lion’s Howl!!” Sorey released a lion-shaped surge of energy that pummels foes and knocks enemies away when more people come to fight him. The fight becomes messier and reminiscent to a mini-war. Without the help of seraphim, he can only rely on martial artes in this time to stop a fight, but this is enough for it.
Velvet is too busy to fight the gang in front of her and lose her notice to her back. A person sprint towards her with a knife.
“Velvet! Back!” Sorey just noticed from the light of reflected by the knife and he shouted out as he is not able to reach her.
Velvet turned her head and notice the man rushing to her and block with her rod but then there are people come to her in another side. Guess the gang notice her high ability in the fight and decided to defeat her first.
“They are separating us! Back together!”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MbKV4VLxV
Now the smoke started to dissipate again, Sorey noticed the gang started to have the strategy of separating the best fighter in the field so he calls the group to assemble and prevent isolation.
However, no one noticed the Mafia boss is talking to his Bluetooth headset, ordering. His expression turned to worry as he sees the Reversal of the situation, he never thought that he will lose with his superior in numbers of people. Now the sniper hides in a building and prepares to shoot the wanted target for him.
ZAP.
A sound of bullet shot out largely suppressed with the aid of the sound suppressor, even the wind seraph can’t hear it clearly.
No one knows what is going on, but more and more gunshot suppressive resounded with people sad calls in injured around the battlefield.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgotTJej8N
Sorey nearly got a headshot but he dodged it luckily with only his left ear gets shot, he watched back at any direction that is possible to snipe him.
“!! Gu..” Velvet lost her balance as her right leg gets shot when she is performing a front-flip and kicking her enemy with her feet while using her arms as standing support.
“...Tch, I aimed at her head.” The sniper murmured.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3dC1Wg49I
“After some many sounds of the suppressed gunshot, you think I can’t hear it out, huh?” Zaveid stated coldly when knocked down the sniper from the back. The sniper can’t even notice his existence. Then Zaveid went back to his place to watch.
“In this rate, the malevolence will…!!” Beta said as she sees the malevolence is growing in the battle, and the malevolence will start affecting Zaveid negatively.
“ Don't give in to fear……. Don't despair, no matter what.” Velvet stood up slowly with her hand covering her wound, but she can’t cover her bleed the blood from her wound.
“Velvet!” Sorey rushed to reassemble with Zaveid, Beta and Velvet seem not all of them in a fine status.
The condition will become worse if they can’t do anything!
----------------------------------------------TBC------------------------------------------------------------
A.N.
This chapter looked worse, I got suck in it, so I changed and added a lot in it with several days thinking how to change it properly and make the fight more appealing, originally 1524 words only(now: ~5019).
Still, I am not good at describing a fight like this……I wanted to skip most of the part, but I extended it finally, with not good enough imagination at all.
Yeah, the several chapters in the Lost Tower are not logical at all, although I try to make it more logical, it is never the real case. Also counting the next chapter, it is already 6 chapters but they are still in Ladylake, maybe I should accelerate the progress. By the way, I added the concept of Mafia just because I love Katekyo Hitman Reborn but I don’t want to write it like a crossover. As a result, I create chapters that not too dark but not positive either….=w=15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgb1ZtTXtS
Well, without a place of darkness, I can’t show the concept of killing for Zaveid.
Sorry that I didn’t handle the topic well and I can’t name an appropriate title either. Never thought to extend the story in this place since I know it must become complicated in the end, but I did so I should continue it.
P.S. Beta is like a plot tool somehow and Let she be the second Velvet, it is basically her initial concept. And I won’t reveal her special setting yet.
