Bab 49: Assassin [DeadShot] (Part 3)
In the cold chilly night of Dark Bliss City, two groups of people were faced off each other. The first group was made of two people, one being a huge muscular two meter tall middle aged man and the other a seemingly weaker young man who looked not older than 20!
Opposite them was a silver masked man who stood at about 1.8 meters and was holding a glistering 3 meter katana in his right hand. Even though the other side had a numerical advantage against him, this silver masked man looked pretty confident.
This silver masked man was Alvin who was executing the last B ranked mission that he had found in Dark Bliss City. His target tonight was Saber Falconi; the son of a notorious underworld broker in the Dark world. Because this man had crossed a lot of people in the underworld, there were a lot of people who had placed bounties on his' and his family's heads.
Because this man was a very strong enhancer himself and had a very nasty reputation in Dark Bliss City, not many assassins were courageous enough to try to assassinate his family.
But tonight, Alvin had taken up this mission. Since he was facing less and less pressure in the One Piece world which could push him to his limits, he decided to take on this dangerous mission to test how strong he was now.
As insurance, Byakko was hiding in a corner nearby and would react if anything went wrong.
Looking at the Silver masked assassin in front of them, the tall muscular man, who seemed to be the body guard of the young man stepped up and looked intensely at Alvin. The young man who was behind him knew that they had landed themselves in trouble this evening.
He usually doesn't go out with such little security, but tonight, because he had a secret meeting with a girlfriend that his father didn't approve off, he snuck out with the only body guard that he trusted the most to meet his girlfriend. He didn't expect that just after walking a few blocks, as they entered this secluded place, they were intercepted by this assassin.
"Sorry, Igor, it seems I landed us in deep trouble." The young Saber looked apologetically at the bodyguard who he considered a good friend.
"Don't worry, young master, as long as I am here, no one can harm you!" while saying this, Igor clenched his fists and suddenly, a mechanical glove appeared out of nowhere and covered his hand. Its glistering features showed the danger contained in them.
"Mechanical Gloves?" Alvin frowned when he saw this. These kinds of gloves were some of the new inventions that had been introduced by humanity in the last century.
These gloves have a very amazing feature; it increases the explosive power and attack power of its wielder by at least 30 %! But due to the expensive nature of the materials that go into the production of these gloves, these gloves cost a fortune. Alvin hadn't expected that such a body guard would have one.
When he saw this, Alvin breathed in deeply and prepared for a difficult fight. From the information he had gathered about this body guard before beginning this mission, he knew that this man was a peak [Accumulation Stage] Level 1 Strength based Enhancer.
That was why he had chosen to attack when he noticed that this bodyguard was the one guarding this young man. He wanted to use him to test his current limits but it seems to have bitten more than he could chew.
He was quietly studying the mechanic gloves on Igor's hands. It looked a lot like Thanos's infinity gauntlet without the grooves for the infinity stones. It was glittering with a dangerous light which made Alvin affirm that he couldn't allow these gloves to hit him even once or else he would be doomed.
...
As the tension between the two men grew tighter, Igor couldn't withstand it anymore and attacked first!
"Whoosh!!"
Even though he was strength based Enhancer, the fact that he had advanced into the [Accumulation Stage] of the first Level as an Enhancer meant that his speed wouldn't be slow. In a split second, Igor had arrived in front of Alvin. Alvin was slightly surprised by this man's speed but immediately reacted accordingly. Alvin immediately jumped aside, dodging the fist strike. He immediately issued a counter attack, clashing against his opponent.
The battle between the two escalated to a frenzy in the middle of the secluded alley!
Igor's fist strikes came thick and heavy like hammer strokes, full of extreme force. The mechanical gloves also added an extra domineering effect to his strikes. Whenever Alvin came into contact with one, his arm would turn numb.
But Alvin's sword strokes came quicker and displayed superior stamina, often striking along the sides of his opponent's gloves avoiding direct confrontation or parrying them aside with his katana. Even though the grade of the katana he had acquired recently was much worse as compared to the mechanical glove that Igor had, it wasn't bad either.
In one breath, Alvin continuously executed all the attacking stances that he could think of, yet he still failed to gain the upper hand.
Igor, on the other hand, remained as energetic as a bull; his moves were still astonishingly strong and carried amazing force.
But Alvin's chance soon came.
"Die!!" muttered Igor as he swung his mechanical glove covered fists at Alvin's head. Looking at the force that backed this fist, any being that stood in its path would be instantly pulverized!
But Alvin wasn't slow either. Over this three week period, with the help of the help amount of money he got from his missions, he had purchased a lot of gene medications that that helped him solidify his foundations and assist him in raising his attributes. Up till this point, all his attributes had crossed that 40 threshold making his bare attributes equivalent to a Level 1 [Accumulation Stage] Enhancer.
He immediately wielded his katana!
"Whoosh!"
In a split second, the flash of light beamed off Alvin's katana and Igor could feel a cold killing intent apparent in Alvin's eyes.
"Huh?!" Igor gasped.
Before Igor realized what had happened, he felt intense pain coming from his right shoulder. At this point, Alvin had relied on his vastly superior battle sense to evade Igor's strike landed a counterattack of his own. The intensity of the stroke was strong enough that it left a long trail of blood spurting out from the open wound. Igor grunted in pain and tried to move back to reorient himself.
But how could the experienced Alvin allow such a chance to pass him by. With his quick movement skill, he made his way to the side of his massive opponent and knocked him off his feet.
"Aaaaah!" It all happened too fast. Before Igor could even react, he was forced to expel a mouthful of air as a steel-like left arm was pressed against his neck.
Just when he could move his left arm, a powerful force was pressed against his chest and his neck, struggling to prevent Igor from taking in any air. He struggled with all his might. Panic and fear started to invade his mind as his desire to breathe was overwhelming and clouding his judgment. Alvin freed his katana wielding arm and swung it!
"Pu!!"
The next thing Igor knew, everything went dark as a katana pierced deep in his throat. Igor's body stopped struggling as it gradually lost all vitality.
Even though this battle had lasted only a few minutes, the amount of energy exerted to really huge. Even though Igor was also an experienced fighter, Alvin's superior battle sense allowed him to come on top in this short battle.
Alvin raised his head and realized by this time that the young master Saber had long fled but he wasn't worried because he knew Byakko wouldn't allow their target to escape.
Truly, after a few seconds, a huge white cat walked out of the darkness dragging a corpse that had its throat slit.
Looking at the dead body of this this young master, Alvin took out his phone and took a picture of the dead body to use as evidence to collect his reward. If he received the reward for this bounty, he would finally have enough money to buy the raw materials needed to practice the first stage of the [Heavenly Thunder Sacred Body Cultivation Art]. Without a word, he turned and run into the darkness with Byakko gradually shrinking back to its catlike size and running after him!
The time was long gone and he needed to log into the One Piece world because he had a very important fight today.
...….
In a small secluded house in Shimotsuki Village, Alvin once again opened his eyes after logging into the One Piece World.
He looked around his room and a dark hole opened behind him and Byakko jumped from it into Alvin's lap.
Alvin opened his attribute panel to check the amount of Fate Points he had gathered after his recent mission.
