Chereads / The First Mage / Chapter 59 - Chapter 58

Chapter 59 - Chapter 58

Shin got down and spoke to Takao.

"You're so good at wielding your ability. You could also think about that, huh? Defending against two things at the same time."

"Of course. That's a piece of cake."

"Heh."

"…"

"We should end this."

"Huh?"

"I said, let's end this."

"Fine."

"Alright."

[Dual pistol mode]

[Paralyzing ammo barrage mode]

"Come! Takao-kun!"

"Fine..."

Takao sprints extremely fast with the help of the wind.

Shin then open fires as there are no civilians nearby. His men are holding them off from going over on the battlefield at this time apparently. Dozens of bullets are coming out every shot made.

Takao positioned his right arm on his back as if unsheathing a sword.

"Migrate!"

"Eh?"

The world turned white for Takao. Then.

"Gasp..!"

"Takao? What happened? Not even a second passed when you said you're going."

"Time is stopped."

"Oh, yeah. Well? Why did you gasp?"

"I am fighting someone."

"Eh? Really?"

"Yes."

"Bring me there! I'll fight him!"

"I don't think that will work."

"Eh?"

"I tried it way before. Ever since I got here. But it doesn't work."

"Oh."

"I just needed a sword. That would work."

Takao then created a sword on his right hand and goes back.

"I'll be going again. Migrate!"

The world turned white once again and he is back.

From Shin's perspective. He saw that Takao slowly generates a sword from his back.

"What!? What kind of abilities does he have?"

"Ha!!"

Using his speed Takao successfully defended himself from the bullets and got past them.

Shin fires more rounds until Takao is getting near him.

As Takao got close enough to cut him down.

"Ha!"

Something explodes in front of him. Which then threw him away and stumbled on the ground.

"Crap..."

"Goodbye. Takao-kun."

Shin fired a single bullet to his body but he got hold of it and stopped it.

Apparently. It is an explosive bullet. It explodes and knocked him back furthermore even though he's still down.

"Ugh…"

"What's the matter?"

"…"

Takao then slowly got up.

"Still going to fight, huh? Well. You're a C-rank. I think."

"…"

Shin fired once more but Takao simply deflected the bullet away as it explodes.

He then charged once again. This time. Even faster.

Shin didn't have time to fire and he got close now to slice him wide open.

Takao slashed but Shin barely dodges it. At that moment. The time seemed to stop for them. A winner is decided.

"I win."

His hands!!!

Behind Shin is a portal. But then. Only his hands are in it.

It's too late to do anything. Takao is tired. He can't muster his magic anymore. He also is not fast enough to dodge or deflect this bullet without the assistance of the wind. He could now only hear a shot from the other side of the portal which is on his back.

Crap. He is just tiring me all along. I really thought… I would win.

The ammo this time is a sleeping bullet.

Takao could only curse as his eyes slowly shut and he fell.

"Hah… A C-rank that could go like that with a B-rank. How interesting."

Shin then grabbed his small radio hidden under his shirt.

"I'm finished. Target neutralized."

"We're going in to pick you up."

"Alright. I'll be waiting."

This guy has a telekinetic ability. But then. He could also create a sword and is fast. What kind of mutant is he? I never saw somebody like that. Could he be a hybrid? Well, we'll see about that later.

Shin then picked up the sword Takao dropped when he lost consciousness.

"It's lightweight. But it also seems durable. What kind of metal is this?"

Not too long after. A chopper has arrived.

"Captain Mukaide!"

"Oh... Had to wrap this up now."

He took Takao onto his shoulder and got at the chopper in the sky using [dimensional jump]

"Is everything alright now? Captain?"

"Yes. He's been put onto a deep sleep. We could go now."

"Alright!"

The chopper then flew.

"So? Did you have a hard time? We're watching."

"No. Of course not. I admit he's good but he can't defeat me like that."

"That's our captain!"

"No need to flatter me. Let's just take this guy onto the facility. Had you told the situation with his parents?"

"A team is going for that."

"I see."

"Captain…"

"Mm?"

"This guy is really extraordinary isn't he?"

"Yes, he is."

"He could catch bullets, deflect, and block them. He also is so fast. What do you think his class is?"

"Wanna bet?"

"What?"

"What do you think his class is?"

"I really don't have any idea."

"Come on. Think."

"He's not a magician. That's it"

"Lame. Alright, if you don't want to."

"It's gonna be hard to guess it after all."

"Yeah, yeah."

After a while. The chopper arrived onto one of the facilities. They landed and people greet them and took Takao on a stretcher.

"How was it, Captain?"

"Oh, it's okay now. We got this person. Any leads with those two mutants?"

"Not yet. The Tokyo branch said the scepter was stolen."

"What? Why didn't they told us immediately?"

"Because they thought they could still get it on their own."

"We really have to talk with the higher-ups about this."

"About that!"

"Huh?"

"All forces are on move to find these people but it is conducted secretly."

"I see."

"Let's head on."

"Mm."

They head inside the facility which is located at the heart of a huge forest in Nagasaki.

The facility is an underground one. The floors are all located underground and the uppermost floor is only the reception.

They got down through the floors and arrived somewhere.

"Please examine what kind of metal this is."

"Yes!"

"Captain."

"Oh. Look at what his class and rank are then put him somewhere he can't use his abilities."

"Yes."

They took the still sleeping Takao somewhere to take samples of his blood.

With that. Everything is ongoing now.

But then. Danger is also coming towards.
