"Do not try anything funny old man. Give me the serum, and I'll be out of here in no time." The cloaked man said while gazing intently at the old man. Beware of any hidden tricks he might have up his sleeves, he kept himself in his optimal state ready to respond to any threat in a lightning quick manner.
Staring at the cloaked man's vigilant look, the old man gave up as he knew he wouldn't be able to launch any sneak attack towards the cloaked man.
Reaching out to his breast pocket, the old man intention was to pull out something but before he could continue,
"Stop right there, old fox." The old man slowed down instantly as he heard the flat voice of the cloaked man. He obviously doesn't want any misunderstanding taking place at this moment.
"Hey, I just want to pull out the serum and nothing else, you can trust me on that."
The old man said with an innocent expression on his face.
The cloaked man snorted as he sneered inside the cloak. I'd be a fool to believe anything that comes out from your mouth.
"Nice and slowly, bring out the serum." His deadpan voice rang out from beneath the cloak.
He still couldn't help but wonder, even under his fast attack, the old man made sure to keep the serum in his breast pocket before defending. Obviously, he values his money much more than his life.
But, if the old geezer really valued money more than his life, why would he willingly concede the bottle of serum over to him. He wasn't stupid enough to assume the old man's submission was based on his own power.
As the cloaked man ruminated over it, he made a couple of hypothesis presumably might be the motive behind his actions, he raised his guard up a notch. He watched carefully with rapt attention as the old man pulled out the sealed bottle containing the catalyst within.
The old man held the bottle in the air then he abruptly launched the bottle upwards, to the air.
He thought to himself, what a naive young man. Although he said that in his mind, his movements wasn't slow at all.
He raised his left hand up with astonishing speed, which unexpectedly out of nowhere had a desert eagle gun with three terrific nuzzles instead of one, appearing very intimidating even to look at hand
As an Awakened, one would have no fear of bullets anymore as it wouldn't be able to penetrate through their skin.
Well, that is as long as he or she was conscious of the incoming bullets. But some forbidden weapons which had already been outlawed by the New Age Federation possesses a frightening and terrifying capability, the ability to devour energy.
Once shot, the bullets would penetrate through anything in its way regardless of its sturdiness. It would only stop as long as it comes into contact with anything having a life force but that is only the beginning of its terror.
If the person's vitality was powerful enough to live even with a gaping hole in his or her body, the bullets would slowly but surely gradually starts devouring the life force of its host like a swarm of starving leech sucking up blood from their prey.
The process would then gradually begin to speed up, sucking up the life force of those penetrated by it and when it reaches a certain limit, it would explode, destroying anything in its path within a 5 meter radius.
The process lasts for about half an hour to one hour, depending on the life force.
It is an absolute nightmare. No one has ever survived a single bullet ever since it was created. The only drawback is due to the fact that the gun used in hosting those kind of bullets have to be special otherwise it would be devour by the bullets albeit slowly.
The bullets would also destroy every gun after each use. Making it very expensive to use.
Meanwhile, as soon as the gun was revealed, Fergus countenance changed immediately, his eyes blotted out in shock but his reaction was impeccable.
"Ahhh!!" He immediately shouted, promptly enhancing his concentration, helping him gather all his tendril tentacle like thingy around him. Condensing them into his legs fusing with both of legs.
At the same time, the sound of a very loud gunshot reverberated through out the entire shop.
Meanwhile, Archie who has long since been forgotten was hiding underneath a steel table with amazement on his face.
He couldn't quite believe that someone could get that strong.
He watched rhapsodically as the old man and the cloaked man fought, seemingly not getting a clear view, since he couldn't afford to lose a single moment, Archie crawled out from underneath the steel bench, wanting to get a perfectly clear view.
Due to the loud noises produced by those two fighting, Archie placed his hands to cover his ears.
When suddenly, everything stopped, thinking they had finished their performance, Archie released a sigh both in amazement and relief.
He would never again in his life come back to the black market again. This one adventure is already enough for me to live the rest of my life in peace, sigh, they were right after all , the world is a chaotic warzone. Archie thought to himself. As he was turning His head, wanting to run as far away from there as possible, the edge of his eyes caught a glimpse if the serum as the old man raised it to the air slowly,
Archie's eye turned red. All the promise he made to him self 10 seconds ago turn to not. The old man tossed the serum into the air, Archie followed suite instantly dashing for the serum which was already in midair. Not caring for anything else even his safety.
BANG!!!
As soon as the old man fired the shot, his hands turned into a mangled mess of flesh and blood instantly as the gun in his hand exploded.
