Chapter 383
Oliver and the others were shooting at Hektor who was now using a similar strategy to Richter’s . Basically, he was blocking all the attacks that were aid at his head, and he doesn’t bother with everything else . With the nanomachines, all attacks that don’t detach his body parts, and were not aid at the head were almost ineffective . It was like they were fighting an immortal fighter .
Hektor was also having fun as he pounded away at Oliver, Niel, and Sayaka . Though it wasn’t really a one-sided fight, seeing as all of Hektor’s wounds were healing while the mbers of the rcenary Club retained their injuries, it looked like a one-sided fight .
Hektor’s damage was only so bullet holes in his pants and a bit of his uniform, but no real damage to his body . On the other hand, the rcenary Club mbers had nurous bruises here and there .
Emily who was not taking part in the fight, as she was fiddling with sothing . Everyone thought she was still trying to hack into the system to stop the missiles, but instead, she was doing sothing else . Emily then shouted to the group, "Everyone catch this!" Emily proceeded to toss sothing to the others . Hektor obviously didn’t want them to receive whatever was tossed, so he charged forward but was stopped by Oliver .
The thing Emily tossed were earpieces, upon getting them, each mber placed the earpiece on the right ear .
"Testing, testing, does everyone hear ?" All the mbers heard Emily’s voice and responded . Once she got the confirmation she needed, Emily continued to speak . "I’m going to say this now, I won’t be able to make it in ti . The only option we have now is killing that b*stard . "
. . .
When Kei heard what Emily said he inhaled and then exhaled deeply . After that, he started moving while looking for a better position . Once he got to higher ground Kei got a better look of the fight . He then proceeded to watch everyone’s movent without saying anything .
. . .
Rachel who was watching at the sidelines felt her body was now a bit okay . So she then forced herself to use RELEASE, she didn’t use full RELEASE since she knew that the mont she did that death was the only path from thereon . Still, after using RELEASE Rachel felt like she could only hold this state for about thirty minutes before she’ll once again be unable to fight for a duration of ti .
’Doesn’t matter what happens to next, I need to help now!’
Rachel who was inactive throughout the fight except for shooting now and then finally joined in the lee . The mont Hektor saw Rachel getting close to him, he felt a bit frightened . Even though he wasn’t the one who experienced it, he did see how Rachel pulverized his clone . Watching an almost perfect copy of him being beaten down by a girl more than half his age was a little bit frustrating as well as a tiny bit frightening .
Still, Hektor knew that among the mbers of the rcenary Club, he shouldn’t let Rachel get a hit in . This person’s attacks were ant to be one-hit kill type of attacks . Among the current people here she held the strongest attacking power . Everything else she had was below him, but only her power outclassed even the original Hektor’s power . Unknown to Hektor Rachel wasn’t in full RELEASE aning her power that he imagined wasn’t as strong .
Hektor didn’t bother to deflect Rachel’s attack and instead evade it, allowing Sayaka to be able to stab another dagger onto his back . Unfortunately for them, Sayaka’s strength wasn’t enough to pierce through Hektor’s armor nor his thick muscles .
. . .
Kei who was watching from afar was finally able to formulate a plan in his head . "Everyone please follow my orders from here on out . Please, guys, I want you all to trust in this . "
At first, no one responded, so Kei thought that these prideful rcs wouldn’t listen to him . In truth among all of them he had the weakest presence, was nowhere near as good as them, and he was the least respected . Well, that’s what he thought .
"Hello Kei, why aren’t you saying anything? I thought you’re about to give us orders?" Emily’s voice could be heard in the earpiece, not only her the others started talking as well .
"So what’s the plan Kei?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Until that b*stard dies I’m yours to command . "
"What are your orders?"
Niel, Evangeline, Oliver, and Rachel all responded, which shocked Kei . He really thought that they wouldn’t listen to him, turns out they didn’t speak because they were waiting for him . He could practically feel their trust for him in their voices alone . Kei let out a small smile before he spoke .
"Sayaka, tell how many daggers do you have left?"
"I’ve got about nine left . "
"Alright that’s enough, I want you to give three daggers to Rachel . "
"Roger that," Sayaka responded promptly .
"Evangeline I saw a sniper rifle in one of the dead bodies of an agent when we were running over here . I want you to go back there and pick it up . Once you checked if the rifle is alright, I want you to tell how many bullets did the agent have left . "
"Okay . " After acknowledging Kei’s command Evangeline started sprinting away .
"Emily, I want you to support Evangeline when she gets back . "
"Sure," Emily sounded a bit happy as he heard Kei commanding her . This was the first ti she saw Kei take charge, and it felt a bit nice .
"Niel when I give the signal, I want you to use all the wires you have to stop Hektor from moving, you just need to stop him for three seconds . "
"Sure, I’ll do my best," Niel answered with his usual carefree tone .
"Oliver, when I tell you so, I want you to get all of Hektor’s attention . Curse at him, tell him he’s crazy, I’m sorry to say this since she’s your mother, but if you can I want you to insult his sister, do everything in your power to irritate him and catch his attention . "
"Fine, I’ll do anything just to kill that b*stard . " Oliver answered with a voice full of hatred and anger, which made Kei sigh a bit . This was the first ti he ever saw Oliver so angry . It felt a bit wrong, but Kei could understand why Oliver was this angry by the bits of information he gathered as they fought .
"What about ? Did you forget ? Even in my condition, I can still fight . " Rachel spoke, as she received the three daggers from Sayaka .
"Of course I know that . You, Rachel, have the most important role of all . " When the others heard what Kei had planned for Rachel, they all couldn’t help but smile . For the first ti since the start of the whole fight, this was the first ti that the group truly felt like they had a chance of winning .
"If everything goes according to plan then that would be the best . . . But if sothing unexpected happens, I’ll be changing the plan on the spot . We only got one shot at this, and I’m sure if you guys are the ones doing it, then even the impossible could be pulled off . "
Hearing the confidence Kei had in them, made the rcenary Club smile . They didn’t notice it but all of them were smiling the sa familiar smile as their departed teacher .
