Chapter 10 - Obstruction

"My lady, you stay inside." Marcelo said, while looking at the lasers.

Then, he turned back towards Deryl and Titan.

"You two, get off. It's time to show, if you're really worth using."

But they had already gotten down.

"You don't have to remind us." Deryl said.

"But, if you lock down the car, I won't be able to see you guys fighting." Natalia complained.

"Don't worry my lady, you can look through cams."

"But I want to see, it by being on their sides. Titan can you take care of me?"She asked while looking at him.

"Yeah, sure. I have no problem." Titan said, and open the door for her to get off.

"She's not getting out, am I clear?" He held, her hand before she could get off.

"You don't touch her, am I clear?" Titan punched, at the car, while saying it.

*swoosh*

*boom*

*slick*

And his hand was embedded inside the metal hood of the UAZ.

"You get it?" Titan asked again.

Meanwhile in the forest.

Beside, the line of lasers. There were about 50 people on both sides.

"They are here, and they have stopped the cars." A scout on a tree, communicated to the men on the ground.

"Wait, don't rush. They're taking out the princess."

Suddenly, they all heard a sound, loud and clear. It was the sound of crashing of metal against metal.

They became anxious, hearing it.

"Abort! Abort mission, run! They have someone over level 60 with them. Run."

The units on the ground were bewildered and started running, in a hazy manner. They ran deep into the forest.

After about five minutes, when they were sure that no one was following them. The captain, stopped the scout.

"What did you see, why did you tell us to run?"

"There I saw, Deryl Mches and some other unknown guy along with Natalia Mches. That other guy, got mad because that monkey held, Natalia's hand. Then, he just punched their UAZ made of reinforced admatium, smashing through it. It was like paper against scissors. And then took out his hand, while splitting the metal sheets."

"No wonder you said, over level 60. But they're supposed to stay at capital no? Ohh wait! Deryl Mches and some unknown guy? Was he young too?" The captain asked in a worried voice.

The scout nodded.

The captain was losing it. His mind in chaos, as he could think of only one thing.

'Don't cross him, unless you want to die in Universal Skynet as well as the real world.'

"Oh, fuck they're low levelers but we need to run, faster."

Just as they were about to carry on, a voice rang out from above.

"Oh, you guys want to run? Too late." A dark figure was up in the trees, while carrying a person in his arms.

"Look, how I make a short work of them. Deryl, take care of her for me, will you?"

"Sure."

Then, made her sit on the think branch of the tree and said, "Stay here and look."

The captain was confused about what to do. It was just a teen child, but he was told to run upon seeing him.

'Do I really have to die?'

'No I can't. I have to run. I've already died twice. This is my last time. I can't, let it go just like this.'

'Yeah, I'll do that.'

"Soldiers form. Ready you guns and swords. Guns Fire! Swords men, rush towards them and Kill!"

The soldiers were confused. 'You just told us to run, didn't you?'

"They are just children, what are you waiting for. Rush and kill them, along with that girl." The captain commanded.

'I am sorry. But I have no choice.'

After hearing the order twice, the soldiers just lined up to kill them and started firing shots at the tree, the three were standing on.

The captain, took the chance of the diverted attention and started running from the bank. The scout, saw him but said nothing and rushed behind him too.

He also knew, who this was after that remark. If these soldiers could kill him, with that strength. Then, that would be a miracle.

So, they just ran away and the unaware soldiers kept firing.

They fired enough to tear out the branches of the tree, but the figures had disappeared. They had fired to tens of round each, before realising it.They tried to look and find them, and in no time they found one.

It was a guy, wearing a vest and shorts. With a black mask on his face. Messy hair and a sheath in his left while a sword in his right hand.

They fired without any command and kept firing emptying even their pistols on him.

He ignored the fires and swiped his sword, while jumping around. It almost felt like he could see all the trajectories at the same time.

The soldiers continued firing, even the swords men had taken out there guns. They were fighting even shotguns in the hopes of slowing him down, as he was just a blur in front of them. Jumping here and there while coming closer with each step.

They even through out some reserve grenades, which they weren't allowed to unless the captain ordered. But since he wasn't saying anything, they threw them out in a frenzy.

The figured seemed to recognise them, and stopped his rush. Then, like a blur appeared in their, leaving behind the bursting rain of grenades forming an awe-inspiring scene.

Then, blood was spilled. The head, of one of the men at the front flew up high. With a clean cut, it was thrown into the air. Then a second, a third. A slaughter began. The swordsmen tried blocking with swords, gun men tried blocking with the guns, but every means to resist was just in vain.

The masked man's sword kept moving, slicing their arms, legs, and necks. They tried to shoot him, but hit the soldiers. Within thirty seconds, no man was left standing, they were lying in their own pool of blood.

"Heh, they didn't even have HP bars. What did they expect." The masked man, laughed with his bloodied body.

In a tree, 20 metres high from the ground. Deryl and Natalia were standing.

Natalia looked at the scene that happened before her. "Are you sure, he's just Level 9?"

"Definitely. And I know he makes you feel like he's heartless or something but believe me he's good…"

Deryl answered.

"I am falling for him Deryl, I am falling for him. I didn't ever know how love felt like. But I feel this is it. I need him Deryl."

Deryl was flabbergasted, "What the hell?! Are you in your senses? He just killed more about four dozen humans right in front of you. He heartless as hell, and you say this."

"I don't care Deryl. I want it to happen, and it will."

Her mind had been plastered over him. She saw nothing except him when, he was carrying her in the forest. His body, touching her felt like hardness and against a cushion but it mesmerized her heart, while she looked at his masked face.

When, he told Deryl to take care of her. Her heart fluttered. As if she wanted him to take her with him. She didn't want to stay away. But she didn't want to disturb him. So, she just left with Deryl.

Then, he jumped and rushed towards them like an invincible bull, no bullet or sword could touch him. He cleaved their heads and limbs without a care. And she noticed, that after killing everyone of them, he gave her a look. It was as if he was asking for affirmation. It was just a short look each time, too fast to be noticed by anyone, but she felt it. Whenever his vision fell upon her, she felt it. It was something that couldn't be told, but only felt. A connection connected through something above the understanding of mankind.

And now, when she looked at him washed in blood. And mask removed from his face, while he gave her a smile. She knew that she had to get him.

"Let's go to the cars and clean up the blood on him." Natalia said, and Deryl took her down.

Titan came to her, and said, "Carry or should we walk?"

Deryl moved and said, "I'll be off. You guys come."

When he disappeared from the vision, Natalia said, "I think we should walk."
