Chapitre 14: Assassination II
She saw a familiar tall figure standing in front her. At that moment, she felt her heart bloom like a thousand year old rose in spring.
" Leave now, Samael's about 30 kilometers Northeast. You should be able to reach him in about 5 minutes if you fly at top speed." Silver turned around and handed her a golden pellet which was for healing.
She didn't immediately accept and kept on staring right in his silver pupils. This was the kind of temperament that attracted her the most.
The problem solving and having-everything-under-control-no-matter-the-situation attitude.
" You should go now, if you're done staring."
Silver cleared his throat, bringing her back to her senses, after which he turned around and focused his gaze on the three individuals in front of him. They were the same people who had tried to assassinate him that day.
" I can help. Just lemme-" She tried to help him out. She knew that although he was strong, even stronger than them, he was ultimately still a peak level two arcanist.
" No" He didn't turn around, yet his deep voice immediately startled her. " Leave now."
He added.
Sighing, dark energy gathered on her back and blossomed into a pair of dark owl wings, which fluttered rapidly. Taking a final glance at him, she took off into the sky, leaving a trail of dark light.
" Gaz, get the girl!" Captain Price spoke to the scrawny looking guy who smiled wickedly and stretched forth his hands and uttered.
" Shadow wings!" Suddenly, shadows morphed into a pair of wings on his back as his body began to slowly levitate.
However just as his body was about to take off, Silver's figure immediately appeared in front of him and blasted him back to the ground with a fist.
" I heard you're looking for me." Silver's eyes scanned the three individuals before he spoke with a sneer.
" It's really you. You just don't look like an AIDS patient anymore. You escaped that day, but not this time. " Captain Price spoke as he looked at Silver who was calmly floating in the air.
" What do you want from me?" Silver asked with a frown. He could bet that he definitely hadn't stolen or killed any one they knew.
" Well kid, you stole the FX-33 plans from Mars Revolutionary Company which cost them a fortune. In return, our boss wants to meet you, the infamous Ghost, and discuss how you plan on compensating the company. If you want, we can go peacefully and no one needs to get hurt, or resist and die." Captain Price spoke as he took of his army jacket, revealing an extremely well built body.
" Sigh. These idiots wouldn't be able to break into the school much less enter a dungeon without being noticed by the teachers or authority. Someone allowed them here or better still someone brought them here." Silver thought.
" Okay two things. One, I'm not coming with with you. Two, you guys are the ones who will be dying here today." He spoke as she slowly landed on the ground in elegance.
" Fine then, kill him!!" Captain Price coldly ordered, as Gaz and Barbara moved at the same time. Utilizing the ability to manipulate shadows effectively, Gaz immediately constructed countless swords which swept towards Silver at a fast speed. Barbara only slashed her katana, causing a dense slash of ice energy to blast out, freezing the surroundings.
Silver calmly waited for the attacks to reach him. For the first time since he became an arcanist, he was going to go all out. His eye of Horus and Chronos were all completely free of their bindings as he felt infinite power course through him.
Taking a step forward, he immediately vanished and reappeared behind an unsuspecting Captain Price and immediately threw a heavy punch with all his strength.
Sensing an abrupt change in the wind pressure, Captain Price immediately turned around and threw a punch as well.
" Bang!!!" The two fists smashed into each other, as a shockwave rippled across the landscape.
Silver was blown back a few meters as Captain Price only took a step backward.
Silver glanced at his completely mangled arm in surprise. This was a full blown punch with hundred percent of his mana and physical strength.
" I guess Ares was right Huh ." He smiled a bit and slowly motes of mana gathered around his arm and it was back to normal.
Slowly taking a deep breath, Psionic energy immediately burrowed into his body and penetrated his muscles and bones, increasing their density and strength. He gave a satisfied smirk as he clenched his fist. Of course he liked waving his hands and doing all that wishy washy stuff with his power, but nothing beats the feeling of punching someone in the face extremely hard.
" You recovered?" Captain Price's expression immediately turned to one of surprise. He was a body builder in addition to being an arcanist. With just his body strength alone, he could beat level 3 arcanists to a pulp, yet a level two arcanist took a blow of his and remained almost unscathed.
Silver only smirked and rushed forward, his speed greatly amplified by the increase in explosive power. In a flash, he appeared in front of Captain Price and threw another punch forward "Bang!!" Their fist clashed, as a shockwave spread, however Silver was pushed back only a few steps back this time.
Smirking, he quickly engaged close combat with him, going toe to toe with the soldier in martial arts and battle IQ. Captain Price's advantage in the fight was his endurance, stamina and sheer mana quantity while Silver's was his extremely inhuman reaction speed that even an experienced veteran like Captain Price had a difficult time countering, his intellect and his overall speed.
Gaz and Barbara immediately rushed towards Silver in an attempt to gang up on him, however, before they could get close, a bunch of trees were uprooted by an invisible energy, as large rocks were raised into the air.
Transforming these into long spears, they immediately attacked the duo causing them to retreat.
" You're really a great fighter kid. Fighting all three of us completely on your own." Seeing how Silver was handling all three of them at once, Captain Price chuckled in praise as he dodged a 360 spin kick from Silver.
Silver however did not react, of course he was doing great. Every move, every punch, every kick he threw was done after countless calculations and improvisations. That was how fast his mind was processing at his full power. However his strain on his body was too strong and his mana reserves were already starting to dry up already.
" I can't keep this up for too long, I gotta take one party out first." He thought as he cocked his head to the right and dodged a nasty haymaker from the veteran mercenary.
" Hehehe, wrong move boy." Just as he dodged the punch, his footwork changed as he tried to execute a kick, however, Captain Price dodged and immediately grabbed him by the arm and smashed his fist into his chest, causing his eyes to widen as he puked out blood.
He didn't have enough time to react, before he felt a swarm of heavy punches smash into his body sending him flying as he broke through countless trees before coming to a stop.
Immediately, the wooden and stone spread being controlled by psionically dropped to ground.
Seeing as he was injured, both Gaz and Barbara immediately rushed to him and threw a barrage of attacks, however the attacks all stopped a few meters away from him. Continuously attacking the Psionic barrier, it broke apart a few moments later, as a crescent shaped ice sword slashed into him sending him flying once more.
" You did well kid. But it's time to die now." Captain Price spoke as he began walking to Silver who stood up slowly.
Blood pooled in his mouth and just as he was about to cough it out, he swallowed it and grinned madly.
" How beautiful it is when a plan works out." He muttered to himself with a crazy smile.
Immediately, silver light gleamed in his right eye, before he indifferently glanced at Gaz and Barbara.
" What the—" Before Gaz could complete his words, he and Barbara were forcefully teleported away from the battlefield, leaving a shocked Captain Price.
" This was the plan all along wasn't it? To separate us? Good idea but you can't take me down!" Captain Price laughed in anger, as a giant hammer materialized in his hands.
" Hehehe." Silver only laughed maniacally. In order to teleport something, or in his case, exchange two objects within a fixed space, he needed extreme amount of focus and concentration. He couldn't execute the technique in his fight since he was moving around so much while Gaz and Barbara were also moving around due to his attacks, he needed a distraction that would totally lower their guards, hence he revealed an opening and allowed Captain Price to take the shot at him, sending him flying.
" It will take about 3 minutes and 27 seconds for your followers to get here and a total of a minute and 21 seconds to break my psychic barrier in order to reach you. Meaning I have a total of exactly five minutes to kill you. Let's see if I can make it count." Silver wiped the blood from his nose and immediately performed a hand seal.
Soon the entire place was covered in a semi transparent circular Psionic shield. Smiling at the angered Captain Price, a long grey katana materialized in his hand, a Psionic energy construct which he held in reverse grip and slowly raised it up.
" Swoosh!! Bang!!" Leaving begins a gust of air, his body immediately teleported beside Captain Price, as he unleashed a barrage of fierce sword attacks.
