Chapter 68 - Jail - C

"I think I already won the bet." Adam smiled while he turned around as he gets closer to the roof of the hallway. Both of his feet landed on the roof and his knees slowly bend while he pulled both of his daggers right in front of him in an X formation.

WOOOOSH! Adam smiled while staring towards the bear's neck that was right below him and instantly launched himself forwards while holding both of his daggers tightly.

BOOM! A loud explosion-like sound instantly filled the long hallway while a thick gray smoke quickly engulfed Adam and the bear.

"What a smart bear." Adam praised the bear as the smoke around him and the bear slowly settle down. Adam was standing on top of the bear's left paw which was filled with rubbles of concrete while the bear smirked towards him showing its large yellowish teeth.

WOOOOSH! Adam quickly leaped off the bear's left paw as the bear gripped its paw as hard as it can crushing all the rubbles of concrete that were in its paw.

"So it noticed that I wanted to cut off its neck and quickly scooped out a chunk of concrete from the wall and used it to block my attack." Adam thought to himself as he saw a large and deep hole in the wall which have claw marks left in them.

"That's very smart," Adam mumbled as he landed on the ground a couple of meters away from the bear while staring towards the bear who slowly stands up while drooping the rubble on its hand.

GRAAAWWWW! The bear turned around towards Adam and growled towards Adam as hard as it can while pulling both of its hands up to the air right above its head.

BOOM! The bear dropped both of its hands to the ground as hard as it can which instantly smashed the ground that was right in front of him and sent a wave of cracking ground towards Adam.

CREAK! BOOSH! BOOM! Adam quickly jumped towards his right side avoiding the large cracks of the ground that was flying upwards and landed on the wall that was on his right side.

He quickly stabbed his right dagger to the wall and looked forwards while the ground below him continues to crack forwards. He squinted his eyes and looked for the bear through the thick gray dust smoke which filled the hallway because of the bear's attack "Where is that big-"

SWOOSH! Adam jumped down to the ground while pulling his dagger out from the wall as he heard a loud wind noise that was right in front of him.

He landed on the ground after rolling on it a couple of times and quickly looked upwards towards where he was stuck on the wall which now has six gigantic claw marks on them.

Adam quickly stands up and holds both of his daggers right in front of him while looking around at the thick of dust smoke that surrounds him. He turns a couple of times while occasionally looked towards his back "I have to get serious, where is that-"

Adam stopped as he saw a large shadow on the ground that was in the shape of a bear paw and quickly jumped forwards.

BOOM! Adam rolled a couple of times on the spiky concrete ground and quickly turned around. He saw the bear's glowing red claws that were on the ground and slowly pulled back into the shadow.

Adam quickly stands up and holds his daggers right in front of him while the ground around him shakes violently. He looked upwards and saw the bear standing a couple of meters away from him while it swung its hands clearing the thick smoke that was around it.

The bear looked around the hallway and saw Adam who was standing a couple of meters away from it. The bear instantly shows its sharp teeth while staring at Adam and dropped down to all of its four.

GRAAAWWWW! The bear growled towards Adam as it slowly bends its feet while staring towards Adam taking a stance as if it's going to charge Adam at any second.

"Okay bear let's do this then." Adam gripped his daggers as hard as he can while slowly pulled his right leg backward and bends his left knee. He took a deep breath while staring towards the bear as his gem shines brighter and his watch beeped with "seven hundred times." Written on it.

GRAWWWW! The bear growled as loud as it can one more time as it charged forwards towards Adam. Adam released his breath and dashed forwards as fast as he can.

WOOOOSH! The bear swung its left paw as fast as it can towards Adam which he quickly dodged and ran straight forwards towards the bear's face which was just a couple of meters in front of him.

WOOOOSH! He sliced through the bear using his daggers and split the bear right in the middle of its face in half. Adam slides through the ground while turning around towards the bear and launched himself forwards as fast as he can.

WOOOOSH! WOOOOSH! WOOOOSH! He jumped around the hallway a couple of times slicing through the bear's body which was still floating up in the air. Adam landed on the ground with heavy breath while the sliced pieces of the bear fell to the ground right behind him and blood splattered around the hallway painting the walls, ground, and roof dark red.

Adam took a couple of seconds to catch his breath while bending his back and puts his hands to his knees. His belt slowly dimmed down and his dagger turned into its original state while he stands straight up.

"Now let's look for the key. I wonder where they put it." Adam turned around and walked towards the piles of the bear's remains. Adam walked past the bear's skull that was split in half and looked around it.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Adam quickly turned his head around as he heard a couple of loud explosions which came from where Bull and Bunny was which was still covered in thick grey dust "I have to find the key as fast as I can and come to help them there."

Adam quickly looked around the remains of the bear while stabbing and slicing some of them with his daggers. Adam sliced open a couple of large chunks of the bear remains and stabbed them hoping he can feel the key.

TING! TING! TING! Adam stopped and stabbed a piece of meat a couple of times as he heard a dim metal sound from it. He quickly kneeled beside the pile of meat and stabbed it a couple of times while a dim metal sound came out from it "Oh! Is this it? I think I found it."

Adam pulled his right dagger out from the piece of meat while he gets closer to the meat and puts his daggers to its scabbard on his back. He took a deep breath while looking towards his right hand and stuck his right hand inside the piece of meat through the large hole that his dagger made.

He moved his hand around the meat for some time and stopped as he felt that he grabbed a rectangular piece of metal. He quickly pulled his right hand out as fast as he can and saw that he had grabbed a rectangular plate of black metal, that has its corner rounded off that has a number two engraved right in the middle of it.

"Oh yeah! Jackpot! Time to go help Bull and Bunny, I wonder how the two of them are doing." Adam slides the plate of metal to his right bomber jacket pocket and instantly ran straight towards the thick smoke that was a couple of meters away from him.
