Liberators

Chapter 43 - The True Face

Axel was currently still fighting fiercely against that monstrous monster.

But on the other side....

Precisely inside the reactor, Akane seemed to notice the figure of Axel from one of the metal slits that exist.

In his left hand, Akane was clutching the communications earphones of the North American Branch Liberator. And now, the communication earphone attached to his right ear, is a communication earohone belonging to the East Asia Branch Liberator.

"Yes, I'm recording the fight right now." Akane spoke in Japanese. He was wearing pretty thick glasses.

"What do you think?" Ask an old man from that communication channel.

"As an S ranker, he was indeed quite promising. But from his overall reaction to my question, he doesn't seem very interested in our vision." Reply Akane.

In reality, Akane had completed the sampling from earlier.

Or rather....

The East Asian Liberators already knew what had actually triggered the C level monsters down to lose their minds. That is by utilizing Flux fluid with other mixed materials.

And of course, it was a high-level secret that belonged to them. And Akane would never say that to North America.

"Is that so? But S rank is very rare. Keep trying to persuade him to join. We need as much energy as possible for our great vision." Reply to the old man.

"I'll do it, General Matsumoto." Akane replied with a serious attitude.

Meanwhile, his glasses continuously recorded the fight action from Axel. Once enough, Akane turned off the recording and immediately uploaded the data to East Asia servers.

Before the end, smash the glasses to remove the evidence.

"Before you return, I have one question for you." Said the old man who was none other than General Matsumoto through the communication channel.

"What?" Akane asked briefly.

"Between you and this S-rank named Axel.... Who is stronger?" Ask the old man.

Akane's face was slightly hardened. With eyes that began to narrow while paying attention to Axel's fight in the distance.

"You kidding? What kind of stupid question is that? Isn't the answer obvious?" Reply Akane.

"Hoo.... So is that right? I-i understand. Well then, get that S-rank and get back here. The Russians are slowly starting to strengthen their influence and recruit a lot of people from China." General Matsumoto.

Akane looked a little sigh. Given that special forces from Russia are actually hunting him down to North America.

"All right, I'll finish it soon." Akane replied for the last time.

Before turning off the communication earphones and keeping them neatly behind his uniform.

After everything was settled, Akane immediately stood up. Then reattach the North American communication earphones in his left ear.

In the distance, the figure of Axel who was so exhausted could be seen standing on top of the pile of corpses of abnormal monsters.

He was seen holding his green spear which was filled with the blood of monsters.

After noticing Akane's movements, Axel turned his head while asking.

"Fuckin' woman, why did you take so long?" Axel asked quite annoyedly.

"Well, I'm sorry. But take it easy, I've obtained the sample." Akane replied with a smile. His face looked so guilty by gluing his palms together.

I tried to apologize to Axel.

After that, Akane showed Axel a few bottles of the blue liquid on his left waist.

"Well.... Alright. It doesn't matter to me. This monster is pretty weak anyway." Reply Axel.

According to him, those abnormal monsters were indeed quite troublesome with his rapid regeneration. But unfortunately, the monster was unlucky to meet Axel.

Where Axel can deliver attacks that are much faster than the monster's regeneration ability.

What made hunting this time so easy was because of the second generation weapon used by Axel himself. Who was able to pierce through the skin and thick flesh of a monster just now like a butter.

While Axel was still watching the pile of pieces of flesh and internal organs under his feet, Akane spoke again.

"You still want to be here? Come on, come back soon. I want to take a shower after all this." Akane.

"No, let's go back to Los Angeles. But before that, have you ever seen a monster like this before?" Ask Axel.

Akane seemed silent for a while. Of course Axel saw the strangeness on his face that seemed to be hiding something.

Realizing that Axel's question is too dangerous to answer with a lie, Akane chooses to be honest.

At least, trying to get Axel to gain trust from him.

"Yes, I've encountered similar monsters a few times there." Reply Akane.

"You serious? Likewhat?" Axel asked who looked interested.

"At that time, like an Orc? But he has red skin and a slightly bigger body." Clearly Akane while walking left this power plant complex.

"How strong is he?" Ask Axel again.

Akane appears to be propping up her chin with two fingers. He showed that he was thinking hard to recall the incident.

"If you remember again, quite weak? I mean, I just need to burn them. Aah, but it might be weaker than the monster you just fought." Akane replies while looking into Axel's eyes.

There was not the slightest doubt or hint of lies in the eyes of the woman.

Of course, because everything he said just now was a reality.

Axel who heard that answer also began to be slightly amazed at Akane's achievement.

"Occredible.... Honestly, I'm a little jealous of that fire element of yours." Reply Axel.

"Sorry, but I can't share it with you." Akane replied with a light laugh.

Slowly, jokes began to enter the conversation of the two of them. Getting the two of them little by little started getting closer.

Regardless of the other monsters around them, Axel and Akane walked back up the hill. To get back on their bikes.

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

On the highway between San Francico and Los Angeles, both of them drove quite fast on an HD motorbike.

Although this road is slightly damaged, but not as bad as what happens in urban areas. Maybe because there are not many residents along this highway that makes monster attacks not so intensive.

There are hardly any buildings along this highway. Likewise with other vehicles that are quite rarely encountered. Only the ground is dry and there are occasionally one or two trees as far as the eye can see.

Just like before, Akane was riding that bike in front. Axel was forced to piggyback behind.

At the far end of the horizon, the sunlight appears to have begun to set. Removing his illumination on this earth that has lost its life.

On that trip, Axel and Akane could have become a little more familiar by talking about things that might be a little unimportant.

"And you know what? My cat once brought me a mouse. When I saw it, I was like 'what the fuck are you doing?' on my cat." Akane said with a big smile.

"Huh? Bring you rats? Why?" Axel asked curiously.

"You think I know? Ahhaha!"

As such, the two enjoy the ride home to Los Angeles in the shade of this chilly night.

Except....

They forgot to refuel before entering this very quiet highway.
