A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 84: The Beginning of the Network - 3

Sparks splashed, giving a streak of light to the pitch-black underground channel before disappearing. However, before long another spark blossomed in the other corner.

The figure that made all this happen, Xion bounced back after receiving the attack of the mysterious opponent.

After more than 10 minutes of fighting, Xion had realized that his opponent was not serious. The argument itself was reinforced with her not suffering as severe injuries as Wess received. Even after receiving a few blows from the opponent.

However, this is also understandable. Because in an advance fight like this, it made that person unable to do much preparation to be able to deliver one deadly attack like he had done before.

‘Efek Wild O Rage will be over soon!’ Thinking of this matter for a moment, Xion's eyes glanced at where his other comrades were.

Seeing that Wess was still in recovery to be able to display his maximum strength, Xion gritted his teeth before returning to chase after the figure.

Seeing that Xion was still trying to hold the person back, Zee stopped his current rapes and changed his spell. With the long staff held in high esteem, the emerald green magic light came into sight.

“Magic: Whirllines!”

Trajectory after track began to be created, out of the end of Zee staff and try to hook the opponent. The trajectory moved wildly, giving a real trace of its existence and continuing to chase after the person.

With her continuously trying to be suppressed by the Night Eye team, that person's eyes continued to be in full focus. “Shadow Leap.”

The person again turned into a black fog, disappearing from his current position and making the line of trajectory that was chasing along with Xion lose the target.

Xion was silent again, trying to raise his sense of sensitivity up high to be able to catch the appearance of that person.

As his eyes caught a trace of the person's appearance, Xion immediately slid. Trying to make the most of everything he has.

The person immediately retreated from his position, spinning in the air while dodging Xion's attack and launching several arrows. Water splashed, as he retreated further. With the speed he was showing at the moment, it was impossible for Xion to catch up to him.

Xion who lost track of the opponent returned to where Zee was. However, the readiness he had remained at his highest point.

“Captain, I feel that the person will attack again as suddenly as before.”

“I think so too Zee. Please put your eyes on Yuzu and Wess, maybe they will be the ones that the person is after while I watch around us.”

Zee nodded, doing exactly as Xion ordered as the fight entered a pause. When a lot of people were caught, a high voice soon followed.

Picking his tongue, the man muttered softly to the point that no one could hear him. “It looks like I'll end it here only.”

However, his movements did not stop and instead became increasingly wild. Shadow after shadow flashed, gathering on the dagger in his hand until it became like the shape of a long sword.

“Deep Down!”

Wound after wound was formed, more and more. Decorate Xion's body with blood coming out from the wounds on his body. Even if he wanted to get out he couldn't, the other party's strength had held him back.

Ci who had been hiding behind the shadows showed a hint of anxiety. This was not a matter of the Night Eye team's safety, but rather the safety of the information that the team had and was not in his hands.

With the existence that Rion had revealed earlier, he had become even more difficult to be able to show himself in front of the Night Eye team. In addition, it might cause bad sentiments because of the distrust of the top military officials on the team that he wanted to avoid, because it would lead this team towards storing information for themselves.

Even after he was reunited with this team at a point he knew —from eavesdropping on that team talk all along. Specific information about the target is still not open.

“It seems better for me to come out now,” muttered Ci.

Thinking up to this point Ci nodded confidently. With him who ‘save’ this team from danger, most likely the displeasure that might arise will be sharply reduced. On the other hand, he now had an idea of his reason for hiding all this time.

However, this move was a few steps too late from the situation before him. After Xion's body was filled with wounds, the person's head turned in another direction and immediately disappeared without a trace left behind.

Even after they waited for a long time, they did not find the reappearance of the person. Making Xion fall down immediately, not only his body but his consciousness began to drift away.

“Captain!” zee shouted as he ran towards Xion. Seeing that Xion's state was much worse than he expected. Without waiting any longer, even the healing magic he chanted.

Even so, Zee's face that contained anxiety did not change. Turning his gaze towards Yuzu, he shouted, “Yuzu! Please help me to help the Captain, you know very well that my healing magic is not very good.”

Even without Zee telling Yuzu to head towards Xion. With Wess in a much better state than before, he immediately went to Xion's place as soon as he saw this captain fall.

“How is the state of the Captain?” yuzu asked Zee, hoping that his partner would tell him about the general condition that Xion was in in order to help quickly.

“He has a big wound on his back. Besides her waist was torn, maybe it had ripped her stomach but I don't know if it reached her lungs. More than that I can't confirm yet, but now I can only prevent the Captain from losing more blood.”

Yuzu nodded deeply, not speaking anymore. Much different from his usual attitude, he is now very serious. A refreshing green gush began to gather in his hands as healing magic was rendered.

However, it was not only basic healing magic but varied from it. Every healing magic Yuzu gave him had his specialty in healing some kind of wound of his own.

Even so, the healing magic from Zee that ‘no how’ continues, is trying to help Yuzu to the fullest extent possible.

Closer to Xion's place slowly, Wess's countenance was troubled. “Sorry for not being able to help and being a burden. Even the Captain had to fall into this condition.”

“It's okay Wess. If you hadn't done that, I might have become a stiff corpse by now. Besides, please look around us. The possibility that there will be a follow-up attack has not completely disappeared,” replied Zee quickly.

Wess, who understood that she could not help the current situation, nodded, according to Zee's advice. What Zee said was indeed the fact that, as long as they were in enemy territory, the possibility of further attacks would not disappear completely.

However, in the midst of this chaos no one noticed that Yuzu's eyes showed unspeakable emotions.
