บท 16: AZI Volume 1 Chapter 15
"You kidding me?"
Seeing what had just happened, Yu Ji couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.
Rather quickly, he recovers his wits and adjusts his pace of breathing—prior to taking aim once more.
(That guy in the robes… Those movements aren't something that you can attain within a day. He's clearly skilled. I wonder, if he has a bounty on his head…?)
With the consequences of offending his opponent—who is secretly his co-worker of the same squad being the least of his concerns, Yu Ji is only focused on how much money he can get out of trading in the enemy's head.
...…
*Klang! Klang! Klang! Klang! Klang!* with great precision, Shen Le divides the bullets that are shot at her, much to Long Hua's annoyance.
(How the hell is this rotten eyed woman this skilled?)
(He definitely has a bounty on his head for being this skilled.)
With the same thoughts as Yu Ji in her mind, Shen Le presses on with her attack, and after missing three consecutive slashes—
"…!"
Caught completely off-guard by Shen Le—who had hurled her sword at him, Long Hua who didn't have anything else to defend himself with, instinctively positions the submachine gun in front of the weapon's trajectory of flight.
Within the blink of an eye, the submachine gun is pierced through and damaged, prompting Long Hua to pop the carrying strap that is wrapped around his neck.
Tossing the destroyed firearm that had returned to its original form—that is an assault rifle aside, Long Hua closes in on Shen Le, and—
(We're both unarmed now, this should make things easier.)
"Uh…!"
With beast like fierceness and the sharpness of a martial arts master, Long Hua throws out a barrage of punches and kicks to Shen Le's astonishment!
*…! …! …! …! …!* receiving each and every hit capable of shattering bones with some struggle, Shen Le does the same towards her opponent the moment an opening is seen.
With how close the two are to one another, it makes it rather difficult for Yu Ji to launch an arrow due to the fear of friendly fire.
"…"
"…"
Looking at the sight of the two Sinners—who are currently exchanging hits with one another using superhuman levels of precision and strength, the ordinary human soldiers around Jue Yun can't help but feel disheartened.
"Don't take your eyes off them. This is the sort of strength you need to survive on the frontlines, and the sort of strength that you'll be forced to confront."
"Captain Jue, how are ordinary humans supposed to fight that?"
Tapping off the ashes of his cigar, Jue Yun answers—
"Figure it out yourself. I've long given up."
Inwardly raising a sigh, Jue Yun thought back to what one of his superiors had told him in recent times.
(The number of Sinners born has become equal to the number of ordinary humans born in recent years.)
Initial impressions of this data—according to the perspectives of a military officer such as Jue Yun, would see this as a good thing.
However, looking at the situation long term, this couldn't possibly be good.
(Ordinary humans might go extinct in the next century or less…)
With Sinners currently being treated with such cruelty, what's there to say that they won't end up treating ordinary humans the same way—once their numbers begin to overwhelm the current majority?
...…
"…!"
Just as Long Hua becomes used to Shen Le's movements, her sword abruptly reappears in her hand.
(Tch this bitch has fine control over her Relic…)
Only those that have a great degree of understanding towards their Relic are able to teleport them back into their own hand after dropping it amidst battle.
"Your head's mine!"
As Shen Le's sword approaches, Long Hua instinctively raises the cube hanging near his hip and positions it before the sword's trajectory of movement—causing the former to widen her eyes in alarm.
"S-Stop…!"
Envisioning what would happen if that sword continued its movement, Jue Yun cries out in alarm—as Shen Le applies strength into her arms and lower body to halt her own attack!
*Klang…!* lightly tapping the black cube with her blade, cold sweat drips down Shen Le's face upon having successfully halted her attack at the last possible instance.
"What's wrong? Why not cut through this?"
Seeing the vexed expression on Shen Le's face, Long Hua can't help but want to taunt her.
As his helmet possesses a voice changing device, it becomes difficult for others to distinguish Long Hua's gender through speech.
"You unfair ass…"
"Unfair? Ah yes indeed, the world is indeed quite an unfair place."
*Shu!* just as he finishes saying these words, an arrow flies down from above.
(I've honestly had it up to here with that sniper…)
Taking one step back, Long Hua evades the incoming arrow and using this opportunity, he swings the black cube towards Shen Le.
Unable to react on time, the black cube smashes its flat panel onto the side of Shen Le's head, and the force behind this cheap attack throws her a few meters to the side.
Uninterested in seeing the state of his enemy, who had just landed onto the asphalt, Long Hua turns towards the building, where that arrow had come from, and begins to make a dash for it.
Approaching the building, spikes grow from the base of his boots, allowing Long Hua to scale the walls.
"Shit!"
Seeing how fast his enemy is approaching from below, Yu Ji rises to a stand, but—
*Kaka…!* kicking the building's wall, Long Hua leaps a few meters upwards and comes face to face with Yu Ji after landing onto the rooftop.
(Him?)
Had it not been for his helmet, Yu Ji would have surely seen the expression of surprise on Long Hua's face to meet someone from the same office here.
"…"
Glaring at Yu Ji, who had caused him so much trouble, the thought of wanting to smash them on the side of their head with the black cube as well crosses Long Hua's mind, but—
"I surrender."
Dropping his bow, Yu Ji raises both hands into the air.
"Heh? Smart, but…"
Taking a firm step forward, Long Hua buries his fist into Yu Ji's abdomen knocking them out in a single hit.
"…"
*Thud!* as Yu Ji's body falls onto the ground, Long Hua turns towards the military men below.
(Bike's destroyed and since it returns to its original state upon destruction… Oh? Seems like that girl managed to dice up the license plate nicely.)
Giving the military men a gentlemanly bow, Long Hua activates the camouflaging ability of his robes causing him to blend into the background right in front of their eyes.
"Captain Jue, this…"
Towards the situation, Jue Yun drops his cigar and steps on it prior to shaking his head.
"Kiss it up to bad luck. There's no way that guy will be easy to capture with that sort of tech on him."
