Liberators

Chapter 12 - Choice

Axel immediately ran back to approach Wyvern's figure. Attack after attack was launched by him towards Wyvern's body. Even so, there were not many wounds that Axel could give thanks to those thick scales.

But that's not Axel's goal. He just wanted to lure the Wyvern back to spew fire from his mouth.

It's just....

'Damn it! Now when I wait for him, he doesn't use it?' Axel complained in his heart.

It had been 2 minutes more of him fighting close range with the Wyvern. But the counterattack Axel received was just a swing from his claws alone.

Several times, Axel thought of attacking the palm of the Wyvern that was also unprotected by the hard scales.

However, even a little too late, or losing the tempo of the movement, those sharp claws would completely split his body.

Therefore, Axel undoes the intention and focuses on waiting for the attack of fire that can be avoided more easily. It also has an attack area that is easier to reach by its sword.

On the other hand, Axel occasionally noticed Eva's figure who was still fighting one-on-one with the black knight.

The battle between the two did not show any progress at all. Eva who possessed that enormous physical ability, even after obtaining the Flux Booster, was still unable to break through the defenses of that Conferred Knight.

Meanwhile, the Conferred Knight was also completely unable to deliver a crushing attack towards Eva. He could only hold on while waiting.

Waiting for the moment when Eva is weakening. Where at this time has begun to be shown with his breath that began to pant.

'Blaaar!!!'

The blow from Wyvern's right arm restores Axel's mind in place. That he still has the burden of stopping Wyvern no matter what.

He avoided it easily, just by jumping backwards.

But nevertheless....

At that moment it was. What Axel had been waiting for happened.

The Wyvern started to raise his head. Facing his gaze to the sky and revealing his lower neck that was completely unprotected by those scales.

A reddish color began to appear flowing on the light blue skin on his neck. Shows the movement of its fire-burst ability.

See all that....

Axel sure. There is no other chance than this moment.

At that very instant, Axel burned a lot of Flux energy within his body. Strengthen himself as much as possible without hurting himself.

Even with his gray military uniform, he was no longer able to withstand the leakage of his lightning magic energy. The current one began to envelop most of his body.

The horses are ready. Both of his hands were also grasping the sword tightly. And his gaze, was right on Wyvern's neck.

Without hesitation, Axel immediately shot towards his target.

Unlike the previous, Axel's movement this time was much faster. It is even hard to follow with the eyes.

In just a single leg, Axel immediately arrived right before Wyvern's neck.

...'ZRAAAASSSHHHH!!!'...

Axel's slash aimed right at Wyvern's middle neck. His former slashes even gave off a beautiful bluish glow as well as remnants of electricity in the surroundings.

Even if Axel did not have great physical strength, a slash with lightning speed was able to cut Wyvern's neck. Or at least, half of his neck was unprotected by those hard scales.

'Spraaasshhh!!! Swuuuooo!!'

Blood and fire began to emerge from the slash scar on Wyvern's neck.

Axel immediately jumped back three times to avoid it. And after a few seconds, the entire lightning energy that enveloped his body began to dissipate.

Now, what remains, is the view of Wyvern's figure that is still writhing with a torn neck. Spilling a sea of blood as well as flames leaking from within his body.

"Yahoooooo!!!" Wyvern cried out in pain. Trying to keep moving and save himself.

But after Axel's attack just now, it was impossible to happen. The wound on his neck was too wide and drew too much blood from him.

Meanwhile, the flames were leaking from his own attack, making Wyvern's body start to burn. Wounded by his own fire.

"Yahoooooo!!!"

Wyvern's loud screams raised Axel's ears right in front of him.

Axel himself, walked slowly towards Wyvern. Intended to deliver the ultimate attack and end the life of the Wyvern.

Now, he stands right in front of the head of the neck. It stood on a sea of blood and also quite a hot blaze. He didn't mean to wait any longer.

'Zraasshh! The sraasssh!'

A total of two slashes were aimed right at the chest of the Wyvern. The bleeding that he was experiencing became worse.

And moments later, the Wyvern had stopped moving.

It indicates that the monster is dead.

After the task was completed, Axel again noticed the figure of Eva who seemed to start so exhausted facing the knight's passions.

At this moment, Eva seemed to be starting to be suppressed by the attack from that Knight.

'There's no other choice, right?' Axel thought in his heart.

After rounding off his resolve, Axel immediately ran away from this battleground. Run towards the hiding place of the refugees.

On the other hand, Eva who saw Axel successfully take down Wyvern in her first mission could only smile with satisfaction.

'Nice work, Axel. Now go and get those refugees out of here. Even if I have to die, at least you and the refugees can survive.' Eva thought in her heart.

'Klaaangg!! Braaakkk!!'

As Eva's mind was slightly sidetracked, the black knight gave a crushing attack. An attack that almost failed to be tackled by Eva with her sword.

"Kugghh! Very stubborn, huh? Alright. I'll fight you to death!" Shouted Eva who had prepared herself to sacrifice her own life.

......***......

'Tap 'em! Taps! Aap!'

Axel ran as fast as he could to get back into hiding.

Inside one of the ruins of the building, Axel found them. Hiding fearfully while hugging each other.

Meanwhile, 4 adult men appear to be guarding around to protect the elderly and children from the invasion of other monsters that may appear.

Seeing Axel's arrival, everyone's faces seemed to change. Smiles and feelings of relief seemed to decorate their entire faces.

"Mr Axel! We survived!"

"We are finally safe!"

"But.... Where's Miss Eva?" Ask one of the men who was watching.

Axel simply gave the man a sharp look. Without even a word of his question.

Quickly, Axel's right hand removed the lock and hook on the Flux Booster on his left waist. Gave the tube with the shape of a hexagon to the man who spoke to him.

"Your name.... Anthony right? Duty for you. Inject this thing into my back." Axel said firmly.

His eyes were so sharp and firm. There was absolutely no doubt in his eyes.

"Eh? What does that mean, Mr Axel?" Ask the guy named Anthony.

"Just press this button when pointing it at the machine on my back, then plug it in the hole. Hurry, there's no time."

"Understand!" Anthony replied nervously.

Axel then turned his body. Showing a machine with a hexagon shape on his back.

In accordance with the command, Anthony pressed one of the buttons that opened the small cover on that machine. And just right, Anthony put it in.

The liquid as much as 250 ml of Flux was immediately flowing in Axel's body.

The incredible pain was felt again. But when compared to the time of the first operation, all this is nothing. And Axel can hold it easily.

Slowly, his eyes began to change. Several blue lines appeared on his face, signaling an excessive flow of Flux began to fill his body. Especially filling his head.

And now, with that extra power....

"You guys while I'm back to help Eva. Stay hidden, no matter what. Understood?"

With that sentence, Axel also came back out of the building where the refugees were hiding.

Again, faced with death.

But this time, on his own.
