A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 83: The Beginning of the Network - 2

As the sound of splashing water rang out, the Night Eye team's alertness suddenly surged up and their nerves now stiffened again. Especially with the story presented earlier, their minds had wandered far away.

Shadow after shadow blurred immediately formed, disappearing from sight and sneaking around the invisible corners. The Night Eye team's eyes now completely shone sharp, as if proving the meaning of their team's name.

However, the voice was only heard once and was not heard back. Moreover, the figure who is the source of the voice, seeing it is only wishful thinking. Even though it was like this, they were still unable to relax.

A gripping silence enveloped, the Night Eye team completely motionless from its position. Just keep an eye on and keep an eye on any movements that may arise. Even this silence makes the slightest sound that arises will soon become the center of attention.

“Nothing?” whispered Yuzu. Looking towards Xion and the others, they nodded lightly before descending. Come out of hiding.

“Could it only come from mice?”

“Maybe, but somehow we can't relax the vigilance. Moreover, the fact that Reutania Kingdom has managed to tail us without success is known.” Looking at his comrade for a moment, Xion nodded before explaining their steps forward. “We'd better get going. Broadly speaking the mission purpose has also been successfully dica—“

However, Xion's explanation did not continue as an arrow suddenly flashed. With their advantages in this kind of terrain, the Night Eye team managed to dodge the attack.

Like a billiard ball that was hit, the Night Eye team position was immediately scattered, far from each other. However, with shared experience, this kind of distance is not a problem to be able to know the intentions of other colleagues.

Xion's eyes immediately turned toward the direction where the attack was coming from. His eyes were sharp, perhaps the other party's strength would be on par with Tenor's, perhaps even more. However, the figure who launched the attack did not come out, making silence hang back.

‘He must be from Reutania Kingdom!’ thought Xion. With the things they had experienced recently, it was Reutania who was most likely to be the suspect.

Shut!

The arrow again flashed, ending the battle of patience that previously occurred. Xion's eyes managed to capture the attack trajectory pattern, allowing him to move to the point where he was spared from the attack.

“Everyone watch your surroundings! The other party is most likely an expert in the area of stealth attacks.”

They nodded in the face of Xion's warning. Along with gloomy alertness, their eyes and ears are high-tight, hoping to catch the opponent's movements.

Feeling something, Wess who was beside Zee also lunged towards his partner. “Iron Body!”

Wess's body began to harden, turning into a much more solid form than his current body. “Iron Claw!”

Tang!

A loud clank echoed as the enemy's direct attack this time managed to hold Wess down. Unlike before, the other party is now exposing itself. However, the result was not without cost with Wess' right hand which now had a major wound.

As the opponent's movements came to a halt, a figure in full black clothing that covered the entire body from head to toe was visible. By dressing as such, all the special features and features that the opponent has are tightly closed and become secret.

The opponent's eyes —the only part that— showed moved, contained some emotion as he stared at Wess who had managed to stop his attack. Realizing the danger that would arise if he continued to be seen, the figure disappeared again.

“You can still survive Wess?”

“You think who I am?” wess replied as she endured the pain from her wound that was still bleeding.

However, the green glow from the healing magic Yuzu casted immediately enveloped, making the wound begin to recover.

“Siluet of Sshadow ..!” With the main weapon in the form of his dagger that began to absorb more darkness and make it as his knife eye, the person again attacked.

However, unlike the Night Eye team guessed that Wess —the person in the weakest state of— who will be the target, but Xion. With shock in his eyes, not expecting this Xion kept trying to retaliate.

“Gauntlet of Wind Claw!” With a gale of wind beginning to envelop his wrist, Xion retorted.

Fire flowers began to sprinkle in the air. With the characteristics of the two who have more power in the field of speed, the two are closely intertwined, unwilling to separate.

“Magic: Wind Wheels!” Zee begins to jump into battle. Supporting Xion with disk after disk of sharp winds that glide, trying to reach his opponent.

With the advantage that this magic could still be controlled even after it was unleashed unlike [Magic: Wind Cutters], Zee tried his best to make this attack reach the opponent.

However, the situation did not change much even after Yuzu, who had finished helping Wess, joined the battle. The skill of their opponents was far from what they had ever imagined.

Starting to feel overwhelmed by his opponent, Xion launched a technique. “Wild O Rage!”

The wind started to blow, enveloping his body and making his speed rise by several levels. Even the [Gauntlet of Wind Claw] in his hand had an increase in strength, those wind claws began to extend more than the general size. This was a technique he had learned alongside his strength rise, although he was still unable to use it effectively.

Even so, with his speed that rose several levels. Xion's attack became increasingly violent and deadly, as if it would not give pause between one attack and the next.

“Yuzu! Just focus on Wess!” care shout Xion. With her current circumstances, she feels that Wess' recovery should be a priority. He thought if Wess had recovered close to being fully recovered, it would be able to be of great help for now.

“Good Captain!”

However, the water whips that Yuzu controlled like tentacles that wanted to ensnare the opponent still kept moving. Passing through several difficult corners then stretch into a water cannon that wants to hit the opponent before finally disappearing.

After Yuzu finished his last fight, he began to carry out Xion's orders. Even so, seeing that the opponent — by relying on his speed— managed to dodge his attack, he was unable to resist the disappointment.

With his current speed, Xion tried to suppress the other party. His wind claws continued to swing sharply, trying to hit the target in front of him.

“Slice!”

White light is created, forming a line that may be formed due to the rapidity of the movement.

“Shadow Leap.” That guy disappeared. As if it entered into the surrounding shadows, dodging Xion's attack and making the attack only managed to cut through the wall behind.

Jumping in the other direction using this channel wall as a pedestal, Xion's movement halted for a moment before he slid back quickly. Just as his eyes managed to catch where his opponent had appeared.

However, the opponent made a similar move. His eyes had been round and reassured, the dagger in his hand spinning for a moment before coming back fixed to its position.

With her unable to retreat —at least now— she glides, welcome Xion's movement.

Tang!

With the sound of clangs constantly being heard, the fireworks again bloomed.
