In a random alley in Metropolis-D, a dozen Climbers watched the blood gush out of their leader's throat, horrified.
Josh was relaxedly standing right behind the body that was now slumping to the ground. The victim had its throat perforated by the remnants of a dumpster wine bottle. Talk about a tragic ending!
There was a moment of silence, the others freezing as the harsh reality was slowly setting in. Josh was near the door leading to the LoA's test. Should he fight them or retreat underground? Estimating their exact strength would be hard.
One of the Climbers had a vein popping on his forehead as he bellowed: "How dare you!! Kill this fucker, or the boss won't forgive us!!"
Josh made a mental note. No matter the outcome of this fight, he would have a target to handle. He couldn't simply give up this face for now, not until he was done with the LoA. He could only grit his teeth and willed his set-items to cover his body. He would fight!
