Suddenly feeling weak, Adam collapsed.
"Adam!" [Felix]
"U-urgh…!" [Adam]
Clutching his leg, he slowly felt the pain intensify.
"C-compression…!" [Adam]
Using his ability, the flesh tried to pull itself together. Unfortunately, the hole was too large for it to close.
"Shit…! Shit!" [Felix]
Cursing with a shaky breath, Felix rushed over to Adam's side.
("Oh god… He's losing too much blood!") [Felix]
He racked his brain for ideas, unknowing of Crow moving in the background.
"My mask… I need it…!" [Crow]
Crawling undisturbed, he retrieved his mask. He stuck the mask back on, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
("Now… to deal with that boy.") [Crow]
He turned to Adam, who was slowly beginning to turn pale.
"Felix… I'm feeling pretty tired…" [Adam]
"You idiot! Don't close your eyes!" [Felix]
Slapping Adam's face, he attempted to keep Adam's eyes open.
("...The boy's dying?") [Crow]
Looking at the blood on the ground, he now noticed the gaping hole in Adam's leg.
("That wound… Who could have possibly…?") [Crow]
He glanced around, assessing the situation.
"..." [Crow]
("A hole?") [Crow]
There was a large hole in the church wall, leading directly to Adam. It appeared that he had been struck by a projectile.
("...Either way, it makes my job easier.") [Crow]
Approaching Felix from behind, he raised a hand.
"It's unfortunate, but your little games end here." [Crow]
"Huh?!" [Felix]
Crow swiped his hand, blowing Felix away to the side.
"Gah!" [Felix]
He struck the wall with great force, leaving him embedded in the wall.
"Next." [Crow]
He turned to Adam, who was already struggling to stay awake.
"...I'll make it quick." [Crow]
Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out something that shocked the room.
"A gun?!" [Bruce]
Crow aimed a handgun at Adam, slowly adjusting the sights to his head.
"Wait!" [Bruce]
Crow froze. Looking towards Bruce, Crow sent a shiver down his spine.
"...What is it?" [Crow]
"Y… You're not actually going to kill him… Right?" [Bruce]
"...It depends on our contractor. What would you like to do, dear customer?" [Crow]
He turned towards Dante, who had his arms crossed with closed eyes.
"Dante… Who did you contract with…?" [Bruce]
After contemplating a few moments, Dante opened his eyes.
"...They know that I've been buying illegal boosters. Get rid of them." [Dante]
"Understood." [Crow]
As he slowly readied the gun, Adam blinked at him slowly.
("Wow. I'm really going to die like this, huh.") [Adam]
"...Do you think it was a good run?" [Krino]
("Don't know. Hey, what's going to happen to you when I die?") [Adam]
"I'll appear next to your corpse. My soul will die, but a few people may be able to use a portion of my power." [Krino]
("You'll die?") [Adam]
"...Yeah. Comforting, isn't it? At least you won't be going alone." [Krino]
("It… really is…") [Adam]
Slowly closing his eyes, Adam accepted his fate.
("It appears you are in quite the dilemma.") [???]
A voice spoke in his head, somewhat confusing Adam.
("This voice…!") [Adam]
"Allow me to lend you my aid, O kind one." [???]
A surge of energy burst forth, blowing Crow away from him.
"Wh-what?!" [Crow]
Adam stood, blood gushing from his leg. He stood with confidence, ignoring the pain.
"..." [Adam?]
Glancing at his leg, he took notice of the wound.
"Hm…" [Adam?]
He placed a hand over his wound, and began to mutter something under his breath.
"Fieri ginu, freeze." [Adam?]
A strange circle appeared before the wound, freezing it with ice.
"...Eh? I-Ice?" [Bruce]
("He has two abilities?") [Crow]
Crow was stunned, unsure of what to do. He chose not to approach carelessly, only choosing to aim his gun at Adam.
"..." [Adam?]
Even with a barrel aimed towards him, Crow was ignored.
("Is he not afraid?") [Crow]
Sweating nervously, Crow pulled the trigger. A loud bang echoed throughout the building, but nothing happened.
"...How?" [Crow]
Adam raised a fist, unclenching to let something fall to the ground.
("He… He caught the bullet?!") [Crow]
Aiming the gun with shaking hands, Crow began to sweat profusely.
"Who… Who the hell are you?!" [Crow]
"..." [Adam?]
Slowly turning his eyes to Crow, Adam spoke in a low voice.
"...Askyros." [Adam?]
