Liberators

Chapter 7 - The First Mission

"Wait on! I don't understand it at all!" Shouted Axel who was trying to follow Eva's footsteps.

"Well! Right too!"

"really right? Now explain to me da...."

"You don't have a gun! Come quickly, we'll take the guns for you!" Reply Eva who did not listen to Axel's words at all.

"I told you! I don't understand what's going on!"

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

The Liberator Military Headquarters.

Floor B6.

"Hooo, welcome Miss Eva. Can I help you?" Said a bald man with slightly dark skin.

The man had a stocky body with simple short clothes on his body.

"Guns for this new boy. He moves quite fast, but his strength is quite weak." Eva is short.

"Wait a minute, Eva. I don't understand at all...." Said Axel who was trying to catch his breath.

Even if his movements were fast, his Vitality attribute was not that high. Makes Axel easily exhausted.

"Hm.... So yeah. I think he'll fit in with a short sword and a knife. A moment." Reply The bald man who completely ignored Axel's words.

In the end, Axel gave up and no longer questioned the situation.

It is only necessary to go with the flow of all these events and understand them slowly. That'sthat's all.

"This is for you, boy. I wish you could use it." Said the bald man while giving him one box of iron box.

After opening it, Axel found a short sword and 20 knives. Everything with the strange metal he saw on Eva's sword that kept hanging on her back was.

"This metal.... Wait, why does she glow when I touch her?" Ask Axel. Although, he did not expect that someone would answer his question at all.

"It is a special metal, which is made from synthetic material with a mixture of Flux. He would react by inflicting a line-shaped blue light in this section when held by the special division troops." Obviously that guy.

It shows how it happens when people who have not had Flux surgery hold the sword. The blue light at the top of the sword blade was completely non-flaming.

While when Axel or Eva are holding it, the blue light will light up.

"Whoahs.... It's so cool." Axel.

"Buahaha! It's not a cool thing or not. But that weapon indirectly absorbed your Flux energy to make it stronger and sharper.

So, don't hold that gun if you don't need it or you're gonna pass out from running out of Flux." Obviously the bald man was laughing.

Hearing that explanation, Axel then looked at the large sword attached to Eva's back.

When Axel tried to put the sword on his back, the hexagon-shaped device seemed to pull the middle of the sword handle and lock it. Just like when you bring iron closer to a magnet.

"Whoah, so it's like this?" Axel was amazed.

"Eva, are you sure this kid's gonna be okay? I'm not sure he can last 5 minutes out there." Said the bald man.

"Just calm. I'll protect her, just this time." Reply Eva briefly.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not that weak, am I?" Axel asked with an annoyed face. He seemed to be frowning because he could not believe that people would talk about it right in front of him.

"Is that so? If so, I'll look forward to it." Reply Eva with a big smile.

After this impromptu preparation, the two left this safe Liberator fortress through the main gate.

The gate was made of steel over 3 meters thick and could only be opened with the permission of the Oracle itself.

Behind that thick steel gate, was a basement that was still protected by steel from Liberators. With dozens of guards holding large caliber machine guns.

"Want out?" Ask one of the guards.

"Yes. Mission from Oracle to rescue a group of people in Sector 12." Reply to Eva while showing proof of the command via her mobile phone.

"understandable. Please." Reply to the guard while opening the second gate that was slightly thinner than the main gate.

Now, after passing through the second gate, Axel again saw the scenery he had not seen for a long time.

It is a view of the sunlight that illuminates the ruins of the city. A city that used to be home to millions of people, it is now only a mass grave for those who are unlucky enough to meet monsters.

"True, before I forget. It's." Eva said while throwing a glass tube protected by iron with a hexagon shape.

Axel reflexively caught up to him immediately and asked.

"What's this?"

"Flux Injector, 250 ml or about 440 grams. You used it by injecting that tube into your partner's back. Can be used to treat serious wounds or provide additional strength in a short time." Eva Clear.

Hearing that explanation, Axel finally began to understand why in each mission consists of 2 people.

"One person brought one. But don't wear it too often because it will shorten your lifespan by at least 1 month." Continue Eva.

"Isn't that too bad?"

Axel had understood the sentence of swapping lives for power. But the further Axel saw it, this Liberator organization actually traded their lives literally for power.

After saving the tube to the hook on his right waist, Axel again asked.

"So, where's sector 12?" Ask Axel.

Eva opens her phone and starts navigation.

"Towards there." Eva said as she started running.

"Wait!'

After the two left the Liberator fortress hidden underground, the outer gate closed again. Hiding the rest of humanity's glory deep underground.

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

The journey took them both more than 4 hours to reach the location of the radio signal by running.

On the one hand, Eva who is the physical type has a natural high speed and stamina. While Axel himself can only move quickly if he activates his lightning magic....

"Huh. huh... huh.. wait for me... Eva...." Axel said in a broken way.

Not only did they run fast while passing through the many monsters along the way, but the two also never stopped to rest.

Making Axel who was used to moving in silence felt very exhausted.

"What the fuck is with that stamina? Are you sure you call yourself a man?" Eva asked in a mocking tone.

"You're right.... Maybe I'm not a man...." Reply Axel who is still trying to regulate his breath.

"Alright, 2 minutes of rest." Eva replies briefly while checking the location of the radio signal through her phone.

Meanwhile, Axel immediately sat on the ground to recover his stamina.

Exactly two minutes passed, Eva immediately called Axel to climb onto one of the tallest buildings that had collapsed to that side.

"See that." Said Eva while pointing in a direction.

Right in the direction Eva pointed, was the same line of monster troops as the one that attacked Axel earlier. Their number reached 20 more.

That is a large monster with a height of 3 meters and thick armor.

"We call it the Orc. They are strong but slow enough. Then look over there." Eva pointed her index finger to the left side.

Now, what Eva pointed to was a radio station building. Where on one of the glass windows, Axel can see a crowd of residents hiding in it.

They all looked so scared and hungry. Just like Axel's life before.

Before Axel could answer, Eva gave him an order.

"Your job is to go to that crowd of people and look after them. Evacuate the streets to return the Liberator fortress. In the meantime, I'm gonna beat up that Orc crowd." Firmly Eva while pulling her greatsword.

"Eh?! But isn't that too dangerous? I'll help you." Reply Axel.

A wide smile adorned Eva's face. However, his words were not sweet at all.

"No, thanks. Taking you with me in that fight will only add to my burden." Reply Eva with a sweet smile.

At that moment, Axel noticed it. That he was nothing but a new soldier with no experience.

Even if....

One of his attributes was at the S level.

It made Axel think, indeed....

What are the attributes of Eva herself?
