Zar's entire body contracts as he looks at Vladi. Different parts of his body had holes in them now. Most of his body had traces of his blood.
The pain was constant making him shiver from time to time.
But more than pain, what he felt when he looks at Vladi was something very pure.
Fear.
His life was slowly being eaten away by those bullets, torturous and painful. It almost makes him want to simply shout in madness and ask her to finish him off, but his desire to live impeded him from doing that.
'My King, please help me'
Instead, inside him, he asked for the help of his King, but Dorek never aided him.
Vladi starts moving again towards him, those footsteps terrorize him as he knows what would happen again.
'Another bullet is going to come, and then another, and then another
His thoughts are chaotic as the reflection of Vladi walking towards him looks fiercer than that demon that appeared from the Fissure.
Her eyes glow coldly as she watches him, blood trickling down from her lips as the strain of the battle has caused some hits of Zar touching her.
Since she saw Ardha disintegrating her whole expression demeanor changed, to one exuding cold murderous intention.
When Zar looked at her he vastly preferred to be fighting against Dontoshi or that monster Zenith instead.
He bites his lips as he prepares for the attack of Vladi to come but she walks slowly towards him.
Each footstep rang harshly on his brain. His whole body tensing even more as his bloodshot eyes don't stop watching her every movement.
'If I look away, I die'
That was the feeling Vladi has been giving him this whole time. Especially lately as her attacks have sharpened.
Finally, he loses his nerves as he stomps forward with a growl.
The earth cracks apart as spikes appear in front of him towards Vladi.
Looking at that, the image of Zenith appeared in his head.
'At least that bastard Dontoshi is facing an equally harsh time as me'
When he saw that sword falling, he saw an illusion.
That Heavens were coming down to him. When he faced that same attack before, that feeling wasn't there.
A click wakes Zar back as a cold feeling makes him snap back.
The loss of blood has made him distracted for a moment, as he moves to defend himself.
But that action was futile, as a bullet bypasses his defense through his stomach and then goes out of his body from behind.
If Zar were human, he would have long been dead. But luckily, or well, unluckily for him, that wasn't the case.
But that didn't mean he wasn't in a dangerous condition.
Zar grits his teeth as he attacks Vladi while she reloads.
Vladi sidesteps and then turns around evading the fist of Zar barely.
Her eyes focus on another part of his body as he retracts his arm.
BANG!
His right shoulder is pierced this time. But he knew that would happen as he sweeps with his left arm towards Vladi now.
'This is going to hit!'
Thrill envelops him as he knew he would land that hit. Vladi is still in the motion of her attack from before and could barely move to evade this one.
But strangely, she stays still, ignoring the sweeping left arm of Zar.
Then, alarms explode on his head as a very dangerous feeling covers his entire body.
The eyes of Vladi this whole time have been looking at his head. And because of the sweep, his face was just in front of her.
'But she already sho-'
Then he remembered.
Helplessness invades him as he looks at the second gun of Vladi on her hand.
"Finally,"
Her mouth moves as she pulls the trigger.
'My King, pl-'
BANG!
The bullet comes out of his head as his attack lands on Vladi, sending her flying while spouting blood.
Zar's body slumps, falling on his knees, and then, face down to the earth.
Vladi's body trembles as stops rolling on the ground. Then supports her body with her elbow as she looks at the main battlefield.
"Don't worry, Ardha. I am going to take care of what's left"
She pushes herself up with her hands while supporting her feet.
Vladi, the Gunslinger, kills the Earth General, Zar.
-------------------------------------------------------
Grudell clicks his tongue as he looks at Isca and Jules constantly attacking him. This time, their attacks reached him as wounds started appearing on his body.
'Shit'
He knows that he should just retreat, as he had already fulfilled his mission.
But when he looked at his eyes, he really wanted to crush him.
Isca's eyes had changed from the time Jules woke him up and his father, Casca, told him to fight.
The only pure will to cut him down was in those eyes.
'I have shown you I am stronger than you already'
Grudell stops both of their attacks, a couple of shallow wounds appear on his body, but he doesn't care as he sweeps with his claws.
Isca receives the attack fully as he spills blood but keeps looking at him with challenging eyes.
Grudell grits his teeth and kicks at Jules who barely manages to defend herself and be thrown back.
Then he steps forward and does a grabbing motion towards Isca.
Phantasmagorical aura appears from his hand as his claws visible grow, wanting to crush Isca's skull.
But before he could continue, a bullet comes his way. He stops his action and steps back, barely evading that dangerous bullet.
He looks to the distance and Vladi, with clear wounds on her body, appears. Her eyes coldly looked at him.
'She has become dangerous'
During his fight against those two, he could see her fight against Zar from time to time and he could only describe it in one way.
Torturous.
'I guess that useless idiot is dead'
Grudell looks at everyone. He knew he could take on those three together.
'But if I do that, I will be put in a dangerous situation'
While he was certain he would come out victorious if it was only a three vs one, he knew it might likely not be like that for much longer.
He looks at Dorek now being suppressed by Arksen and the group of Barbarians. Kagito also maintained his focus on the orb and while killing him would be great, he couldn't do it.
'Those shits won't let me'
Another bullet comes his way, but he swiftly evades it. Jules and Isca use that opportunity to attack with their skills.
Isca's body bulges as he tyrannically swings his sword downwards. Deep growls come from him as his aura becomes more majestic each time.
Jules is filled with golden shine, exuding a heroical air as her swords mercilessly come towards him.
Grudell takes a deep breath as his eyes glow coldly.
'Dorek, take this as a farewell gift'
A powerful and detestable aura comes from Grudell as he decides to not try to evade it.
From his hands' forms, an arrow and a bow as his aura protect him for a second of Isca's and Jules's attack. But he knew he would end up receiving at least one anyway as a bullet comes towards him.
Grudell manages to shoot his arrow, and before the bullet hits him, he moves slightly. It pierces his shoulder.
Grudell grits his teeth as he faces the other two attacks with a sweep of his claw creating a defensive wall.
Powerful shockwaves occur as his wall is broken apart, but he manages to get away as he steps into the shadows.
He manages to see a shield appearing before Kagito, blocking his arrow this time.
'Well, I knew that would happen, but I needed that flicker of time'
Just as he sees those three wanting to chase him down, they feel it.
Dorek's aura explodes enormously.
Vladi grits her teeth as she watches in that direction. Blood explodes from different parts of Kagito as he kneels while holding the orb. All the elders spout blood, one fainting.
Just because of a small flicker of distraction.
Vladi grasps her guns tightly and looks at Grudell fading into the shadows.
Then she closes her eyes as she swings her head towards Dorek and steps toward there, the same with Jules and Isca.
"I will see you guys at another time"
Grudell coldly looks at all of them as he disappears from the battlefield.
The traitor, Grudell Scardi, retreats from the battle.
