章節 9: Killing Gotar and Saving The Girl

"I guessed so, because if you knew, you wouldn't have asked me. I will be kind and tell you," he then moved to get near that little girl while passing his fingers over her face, "For a young black fog ambassador to mature, he needed to feel the taste of blood and do a kill."

James eyes shone as he jumped to say:

"I have already done that, I killed that bastard Forilak, so you can test me now and know if I was the man you are looking for or not."

"Forilak? That was a scum, he doesn't count. The test isn't that simple or low level like what you think," Gotar said while shaking his head, "This chick here is your test."

"What?!"

"You have to kill here and the ritual will be completed."

James moved his eyes from this girl to Gotar then to the girl again while his mind was trying to process what he just heard.

"What is special about this girl? Forilak was way stronger and bigger than her."

"It's not about size or strength, you thick head. Well, it's mainly about strength, a special kind of strength, strength that only pure blooded Ravner of light can have," Gotar said. James didn't need him to explain further as his mind had already jumped to a conclusion.

"Is she one of the Ravner of light? Why would the Ravner of light sacrifice their own kin?"

"That's because she got the enmity from one of the higher ups in the Ravner of light, one that you shouldn't make enemies with.

This little girl here has the potential to be a threat to those up there, so they decided to eliminate her and whoever could pose a threat to them in doing this test. I'm not the only mercenary looking for fog of darkness guys, but I'm planning to be the first to really bring one back.

So my lucky star, shine and kill this girl now and let's see your real face,``Gotar said.

James looked towards the girl with sympathy, she was just like him in this mess, but she got it harder as she was betrayed from her own kin. The ones who were supposed to protect, raise, and train her turned to be her enemies.

James didn't get it, he read long before that the Raven of light was a group of righteous people, who never believed in evil, how would they turn to be like that? But he didn't think much about it, as he finally found his chance.

"I can't kill her with my bare hands, give me a gun and I will blast her head off."

"Gra gra gra gra, you are a funny kid, who do you think I am? An amateur? I'm in this game even before you were born, so don't play your silly tricks with me.

You want a gun to start fighting us back and save your life and even save this little girl here? C'mon, you must be better than that and follow my orders."

Gotar then issued to one of his men, who threw a long rod of metal to the ground under James feet while Gotar added:

"Use this rod and smash her head, if one hit isn't enough, then hit her hard again. don't slack here kid, as the weaker you hit, the longer she will suff…"

"In your F****** dreams as****!"

Suddenly a female voice erupted loudly with a bang grabbing everyone's attention. That girl who was tied to the chair was now free standing over the body of a dead member of Gotar's crew.

A long spear gun was inserted in that dead Trokan race chest while the handle was in that little girl's hand. Her eyes were very determined, James knew that look, it was the look of someone who was ready to risk it all.

"You sneaky bastard, how many times have I told you to keep an eye on her? Go and drag her here, don't kill her or I will kill you myself," Gotar said with an angry voice and strangely reddened face.

James didn't bother with all of this, as this was the distraction he just needed for. Once that explosion happened, a muffled sound followed but now one noticed it, except that little girl whose face showed a big smile and that suicidal look on her face turned into a look full of hope.

"You F****** bastard, do you think I will let a scum like you hold me in prison again? I will kill you all before you even lay your single filthy finger on me again," That little girl exploded in Gotar face threatening with strong words and loud voice.

Her loud voice was enough to cover the small scratchy voices James was producing while opening that huge box which he got out from his storage bracelet.

The place was big and James was just sitting there at the other end of this big hall, while everyone's attention was fully focused over that little girl to form a semi-circle in a try to corner her.

"You have no way to run, this ship is traveling at light speed. You have no exit anywhere so just accept your fate. Why the hell are you smiling like this? Have you gone mad?"

Her smile turned gradually to be a big laugh while she pointed back towards James direction as she said:

"I'm laughing because of this."

Gotar and his crew turned to look at the direction that girl pointed at, to be shocked and frozen in place from what they saw.

"Single troop Pulse Cannon with auto-detect system, multi-target locking system, target tracking system, and the most important of all the must kill system.

This baby is here ready for you bastards," James said while a thick cylindrical short cannon stood in front of him on its one long thin stick.

"How did you get that? You can't bluff me, if you used it without fixing it on the ground you will be the one being blown off," Gotar said while he tried to move to a place to hide.

He targeted a rounded pillar in the side of this hall, which wasn't enough to protect all his body but it was better than nothing.

"Bluffing? Let me show you who is bluffing here bastard."
