~Maul/Hurrian POV~
"Weak!"
I tried to get away from the wall.
Apparently, Shanna's mace is stronger than mine. My sword shattered into pieces and Shanna continued the attack. Shanna's punch was so strong that it threw me wearing armor that it pierced through one wall.
Because of Shanna's attack, my body is now stuck to the wall, inside the hospital building. Without this armor, perhaps my body would have been separated into two.
On the other hand, I was lucky that we were in an evacuated building, so there were no casualties. And, because it tried to deceive the enemy, the lights and equipment were still on. Thanks to my thrown body, the room that was supposed to be this receptionist became a ravage. Tables and chairs were smashed everywhere.
"You don't wear a mask or a robe. You're not a member of the Agade elite, are you? Huh! You guys underestimated me or what? You think ordinary people can beat me?"
Shanna shouted indistinctly. He didn't even look at me. His sight leads nowhere.
Shanna, you're still the way you used to be, cocky. You really haven't changed.
I raised my hand, controlling the pieces of the sword scattered near Shanna.
"Huh?"
Shanna let out a slow response, slightly surprised at my attack. However, he moved quite quickly and protected his body with Gada. However, due to my surprise attack, Shanna was separated from her surfboard.
I didn't just attack Shanna. I pushed him, making Shanna's body float towards me. As soon as he arrived, I stuck out my right hand straight and hit him in the face, a wrestling strike.
Shanna's body spun in the air and hit the wall, supposedly. Shanna managed to land her foot on the wall quickly. At that very moment, he threw out a body and lunged at me.
This time, I did not receive Shanna's attack with the sword, but with armoured armor. The outcome? Shanna's mace shattered and her body bounced back. This time, Shanna's body actually hit the wall. No more acrobats landing on the wall. After hitting the wall, Shanna's body was plunged on the floor.
"ASSHOLE! FUCKIN' SHIT! HOW DARE YOU!"
While shouting and cursing, Shanna tried to get up.
I didn't attack Shanna. I waited for him to rise.
"DIE YOU!"
Shanna tethered the end of the metal whip on the ground beside me. With that whip, he pulled his body tightly. From behind me, the skateboard floated up and landed in Shanna's hand. Shanna turned the skateboard into a new mace. This time, the crowd was much bigger than before.
I'm not just shaking. I walked forward, towards Shanna. Gada Shanna against armoured hands. And, once again, the armour-lined hand again won.
Shanna's cudgel broke. Because he threw his body so fast, as soon as his face was faced with my iron fist, his body spun in the air and hit the wall, again.
"DAMN! FUCKIN' SHIT! GODDAMN SHIT!"
When I saw Shanna swearing and swearing when she failed, I realized that Shanna had not changed. He's still big talk but minimal achievement. Our childhood moments came to my mind.
I remember when I tried to cook for the first time. And, as always, Shanna was always bragging.
(Huh, if it's just cooking, everyone can too. Just look! I'll keep you all amazed.)
However, after that, the results of Shanna's cooking were actually the most destroyed. Not only from the look, it does not taste worth eating. Someone tried to eat it, but he immediately vomited it. In fact, even though he had vomited it, he still had diarrhea.
When that happened, Shanna would go to the corner of the room and cry. Brother Tasha was forced to pacify Shanna, saying as long as she studied, Shanna would definitely be able to get the desired results.
In the past, when he was a child, his face was upset and his behavior still looked funny. However, now, with an adult body, it just looked pitiful. He, with tears at the tip of his petals, cursed and shouted indistinctly.
Most of him has not changed. Perhaps, it was still not too late for Shanna. Maybe, I can pull him back on the right path.
"From the beginning, you haven't changed, Shanna."
"HUH? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE SAYING I HAVEN'T CHANGED?"
Why is this woman always screaming? What makes it so emotional?
I opened the helmet that covered my face, letting Shanna see me.
"....Maul?"
"You still recognize me?"
"How could I not recognize you? Moments ago, your face appeared on the news as a kid who was sold to Mariander."
Ah, yes, I forgot about that. Stupid me.
"I guess you've forgotten all of us, your family."
"W-what do you mean? I forgot all of you? B-how can?"
Several times Shanna answered stammeringly.
Right now, Shanna's behavior was completely different from before. Does this mean there is hope?
"Then, why would you do that to Lili?"
"On Lili? Whatchu mean?"
"Don't pretend you are! I heard everything! You persecuted Lili's vital organs so she couldn't afford to have offspring. You're the one who made Lili suffer."
"I, that......" Shanna was unable to give an answer. He lowered his face. "Ma, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I. I don't know what possessed me at that time. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry."
Without being able to prevent it, the tip of my lips rose. Apparently, I can't deny that this is what I want.
"Are you willing to apologize to Lili if given the chance?"
Shanna looked up, looking at me. "Do you think Lili will forgive me?"
"I will apologize with you. How's it?"
"I, that....."
Blarr
Suddenly a loud voice sounded from behind. Along with the loud noise, the lighting on this floor died.
I turned around and saw that part of the floor was already destroyed. In fact, perhaps, part of this building has been destroyed. In front of me, there were some giant swords lying around, leaning against the building.
Inside the building, you see a figure who...... not a human? I don't know, I'm not sure. From his tattered clothes, I saw a lot of shiny, metal objects. Only part of the body in the chest to the head that does not look radiant.
"Shut up!"
A giant sword came smashing down on the figure I expected was Weidner.
I'm not sure what happened, but the attack must have killed Weidner, right? But it doesn't stop there. Several other giant swords appeared, smashing into where Weidner was.
"Come, aren't you overreacting?"
Even though I haven't seen her, I screamed. However, it seems, Mari is unable to hear me. Beyond a doubt, I just realized that I didn't call Mari with Hanna. Now, even in my mind, I called her Mari.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, my instincts are breaking. I jumped to the side while turning around. However, my movements were late. A blunt object landed on my right temple. As if to prevent the head from being severed, my body jumped to the left.
My body fell to the floor. With all my might, I tried to twist my body, looking towards Shanna.
"Shanna?"
"You think I'm gonna apologize to that woman? He took Weidner from me! I won't forgive or apologize to her!"
At that time, I remembered who ate Shanna's cooking or comforted her most. That person is not Tasha's sister, but Weidner. So, her treatment of Lili started from jealousy.
"You let me down, Shanna."
I knelt down, trying to get up. However, for some reason, it was very difficult to get up. I had not been able to get up, both of Shanna's legs were already visible in front of me.
"Do I look pedu–"
Suddenly, Shanna's voice disappeared. He didn't finish his sentence.
I raise my head. There was no sight of Shanna in front of me. In fact, there was nothing in front of me. I looked to my left and saw a giant sword stuck in the wall. At the tip of the sword, there was Shanna's body pierced by the sword from the side.
Not just broken. More precisely, Shanna's body had already separated. The bottom of his body lay under the giant sword while the top was located on top of the sword. I could see blood and intestines breaking down on the floor. Some of Shanna's hand was broken by Mari's sword.
At that moment, I felt sick. My stomach contents seemed to want to get out, pushing through my throat. Without being able to take it anymore, my stomach contents came out through my mouth.
Damnit damnit! Though I have seen many times the limbs destroyed or decomposed. I stopped vomiting a long time ago. However, for some reason, this time, I suddenly felt nauseous. Is it because Shanna is the person I know?
"It seems that woman hasn't become a robot like Weidner."
"Robots?"
In front of me, suddenly, came Mari's voice. I turned my eyes and saw Mari's figure wearing a robe. He no longer wears a mask. From there, I could see his bloodied face. In fact, some of his hair was gone, burned.
"HAHAHAHA! YOU THINK THIS ATTACK WAS ENOUGH TO KILL ME?"
"Damn! This guy really doesn't want to die!"
Let's take our eyes off Shanna and me. The view goes back to Weidner.
"Hurrian, please ask for help."
"Eh? Help?"
"Yes. Assistance. I'm not sure I can kill him. My headset and mask are destroyed. So, I can't ask for help."
"Ba, okay."
I hold the right ear. However, I just realized that my headset is no longer there. No not no. When I held the temple and right ear, it seemed that the headset was destroyed. Some headset parts seem to get into the ear. Instead, I could feel the blood rushing from the ears.
Why am I just realizing this now? The reason why my body was so hard to get up earlier was because this thing went into my ears, ruining my balance. And as an effect, I was nauseous not because I saw Shanna's scattered organs, but because I turned my head too fast, making my head become dizzy much easier.
Is this what they say adrenaline makes us unconscious of the wounds received?
"Sorry, Mari. My headset is broken too. I think we're gonna have to kill Weidner ourselves or wait for help to come."
"Damn too....."
"Die you!"
Several swords and huge iron plates floated. Let's jump to avoid. I jumped too, his intention. Unfortunately, my body is not complying. As my balance was shattered, I received Weidner's attack in a crushing manner.
"Hurrian!"
I was pushed to the end to stick to the wall. Due to the uneven shape of my armor, the incoming giant sword might slip slightly. So, this giant sword did not hit the middle of my body, but the lower left. Starting from my left stomach until my feet were crushed, crushed by this giant sword.
Not done yet, there's still a slab of iron coming. This time, it seemed, my body was willing to slightly comply. I managed to tilt my body to the left, making the iron plate miss, it should. Unfortunately, the movements that happened were not as far as I wanted. My body shift is too little. As an effect, the plate landed on the right shoulder, cutting across my right hand.
"Well.aa..aa....."
It felt like I was dying to scream, venting out the pain that appeared on my left leg and right shoulder. For some reason, my voice did not come out. My throat feels so dry.
Faintly, my eyes looked to the left. There, the upper part of Shanna's body that has been split. His two eyes widened, radiating terror and anger even though he was lifeless.
I'm sorry, Brother Lugalgin. I'm sorry, Mari. Apparently, I'm going to catch up with Tasha.
