The bullet that killed the duke entered through his left eye and out through the back of his head. Sarah turned and looked off into the distance. She softly remarked, Thanks as she waved her hand to someone but no one else but her was present. From about five kilometers away from Sarah's current location sat Christina in a canopy of a tree in the woods. Her rifle still smoking, as if it had just been fired. Her left eye is completely green with multiple red rings inside of it. A far cry from its usual color blue as she activated her power, which gave her the perfect aim she used to kill the duke.
Christina turns away from looking in the direction of her sister as she scouts ahead for incoming reinforcements. Sarah looks around for Kiyoshi and finds him attending to the injuries of those who got caught in the crossfires of the Tucson and the duke. As she makes her way over to him, she hears a familiar voice talking to her.
"Where do you think you're going?" Remarked someone from the back of Sarah with a cheeky tone of voice.
To her displeasure, Sarah turned around to see Arthur standing behind her with two oddly S-shaped black daggers in his hands.
"I thought you died in the explosion earlier, but you know what they say cockroaches could survive a nuclear explosion, so I am not surprised you're still alive. All this means is that I will just have to end you myself." Replied Sarah in a heavily aggressive tone of voice as she grips her sword tightly in preparation to attack Arthur.
"I have missed you too sister." Remarked Arthur with a sinister grin on his face which annoyed Sarah greatly.
"Don't call me that you bastard. You've made your choice and it's time to reap the rewards of your labor." Shouted Sarah angrily as she closes the gap between her and Arthur.
"As much as I love this little sibling banter I will like to finish this as soon as possible but not here my dear sister. Somewhere where we both can have a private sibling rivalry for the ages." Declared Arthur as he took off into the woods with Sarah in hot pursuit of him.
With Sarah and Arthur sorting out their family issues, Kiyoshi continues to tend to the injured town's people when he is soon approached by Christina and other members of Anges Du Sol. Christina takes over from Kiyoshi as she heals an elder lady with her healing magic as Kiyoshi observes the other members of Anges Du Sol rescuing people and performing emergency services to the people of Lutter en Paix.
Kiyoshi observing everything breathed a heavy sigh of relief as the casualties for the town's people were minimum, to say the least. Christina who had already finished tending to the injury slowly walked over to Kiyoshi and grab his hand.
"Thank you for everything. We wouldn't have been successful without." Remarked Christina as she cradled Kiyoshi's hand while blushing.
"It was nothing to talk about. Your sister did most of the work." Replied Kiyoshi with a small smile on his face as Christina slowly made her way closer to Kiyoshi.
Christina continued to slowly approach Kiyoshi until her chest pressed against his. She tilts her head forward as she leans into him. But if something came out of nowhere, Kiyoshi jumps back and takes off running, remarking to Christina that he will be back soon, he just has something to take care of first. To the surprise and embarrassment of Christina, who just looks at Kiyoshi and runs into the distance.
Meanwhile, in the woods, Sarah continues to chase after Arthur when he suddenly stops and turns to Sarah in a battle stance. Arthur laughs as he stares down Sarah, with a burst of speed he attacks without hesitation or concern as Sarah defends themself from his attacks with her massive sword.
Arthur darts around hopping from tree to tree looking for an opening to inflict damage on his sister but due to the size of Sarah's sword it is difficult to reach her even though Arthurs's speed is leagues ahead of Sarah's.
With a furry and bloodlust, Sarah swung her sword breaking the two black daggers Arthur was wielding and sending him flying several feet through four trees. Blood poured from Arthur's forehead above his left eye blinding him in that eye. As he stumbled to bring himself back up on his feet small droplets of blood fell on his hands as he coughed up blood. His knees weaken by the forceful counterattack his older sister bestowed upon him. The difference in their physical strength was clearer to him than ever before, but Arthur was determined to kill Sarah to have power for himself.
As slowly walked forward towards Arthur, he sticks out one of his arms with his palm facing Sarah. And without warming a ball of blue energy emerged from his hand and was fired into the direction of Sarah who deflected with ease. Surprise but not deterred Arthur continued sending waves upon waves of energy shots, all deflected by Sarah swatting them with her hand.
"How could this be, they use to work on you before why aren't they working now?" Shouted Arthur as he continued his useless assault on Sarah.
"That's because they never did!" proclaimed Sarah with a ghoulish grin as she stared down the almost defeated Arthur.
"What do you mean they never worked?" Asked Arthur in confusion.
"I mean I use to fake it. Christina thought it will be good for your confidence if I pretended that your energy blast worked on me and I agreed to it for your sake but clearly, you got too overconfident and thought that weak shit would work on me. You dick" Remarked Sarah in an annoyed tone of voice.
With furious rage, Arthur charged towards Sarah, with a closed fist his hand began glowing blue as he absorb his energy blast into his hand to increase its damage output. Within seconds Arthur closed the distance between him and Sarah and with everything he had struck her with a punch infused with his magical ability.
Small trees and rocks blow away behind Sarah's back as the shockwave from Arthurs infused punch sends them flying. But to Arthur's horror and surprise his sister's face was filled with a big wide smile even with his fist driven into her face she was smiling. Arthur quickly remove his fist from Sarah's face as smoke emanated from her right cheek where she was hit.
"That was pretty decent little Arthur but far from enough to hurt me. So let big sis show you what a real punch looks like." Declared Sarah as she punches Arthur in the nose sending him flying as her devilish smile grows wider and wider.
Terrified Arthur drop to his hands and feet as blood dripped from his nose and mouth. With a terror-filled heart, he looked up to see his sister looking down at him as if he was nothing but a bother to her. Which turned his terror-filled heart into one with burning rage as he shouted at Sarah to finish him off as he bite down on his lip causing it to bleed heavily as he awaited his death.
With a cold look on her face and without hesitation Sarah quickly brought her sword down with not even a second to think it over.
