"Non fatal my ass."
If I pulled the sword stuck in my stomach, I would bled out quickly.
"I have no time to think."
If I moved rapidly blade could move and cause real problems… More problems. Despite that I started to run. Every step caused me great deal of pain.
(Time Remaining: 1 minutes, 44 seconds.)
Agility boost I got from Kıyamet had less then 2 minutes left. Good thing was the fact that I could see their tracks. He probably couldn't move as fast as he could due carrying her. I moved, following the tracks. Not soon after he entered my field of vision. He was still very far away but the fact that I could see them made me feel better. I closed the distance between us. When I was finally in my shooting range I pulled my bow and arrows while still running. It was harder than it sounds like. If I didn't trained for it for years I couldn't done it. It was important for a Sharpshooter to be able to move and shoot. Naturally every enemy with several brain cells would try to remove Mages then Sharpshooters first. Most low level hunter groups didn't have Mages so I learned how to move while shooting my bow. Despite my training it was still hard. This motherfucker was running as fast as a car and he had my target on his back. I had to avoid hitting her. I pulled the string back.
(You are fully focused to your target.)
(Skills Blessing of Martial Arts, Hawkeye(Darkness) and Sharpshooting are fully synchronizating.)
(Sharpshooting is ranked up to B-.)
I was able to get him in his shoulder. My arrow didn't pierce as deep as I wished it but what went like I wanted in this life? He grabbed his shoulder and turned his body to me. He looked around but I was far away. He frantically looked around before lifting the prisoner up and using her as a shield.
"He was able to discern where I shot my arrow. This guys were are not some kind of thugs."
I thought to myself as I pulled my bow back. Seven arrows flied towards Leo. He probably hoped I would hesitate tos hot. Or maybe he just thought saving himself. Too bad for him. My arrows curved around his "shield" and pierced his body. He fell to ground. I moved towards him. When I moved closer for him to see me he was trying to crawling away.
"How are you this strong? Are you… Don't tell me! A first generation?"
"Who sent you?"
They must be sent here by one of council members. But who?
"I can't say it!"
I sighed before pushing the arrow he had in his thigh deeper with my boot.
"I want an answer and I want it now."
"I… I …."
A red symbol started to shine from his body.
"Wait Wait! I am not going to say it! I wasn't going to betray you! Please!"
I grabbed the vampire angrily making voices through her makeshift gag.
"Stop squirming! He is going to explode!"
I could read the mana inside him going crazy. While I wasn't sure what I told was true, I had the feeling of getting the fuck out of there. She stopped squirming and making noises. I ran and took cover behind rubble. Just as I covered my head with my arms, an explosion shook my entire body. Impact caused the sword in my stomach to move and damage my insides. I gritted my teeth as not to scream. When I peeked outside from the rubble..
"Holy shit."
I couldn't hear my own voice. Destruction around where he stood was immense.
"Not even one piece of him remains."
He didn't had any kind of bomb inside of his body. Was this caused by magic? I pulled the sword from my stomach. I patched myself while drinking some blood.
"Mff!"
"I am not giving you any blood. I am not in mood to fight another battle."
A vampire could gain power and revitalized by blood. I didn't know the exact restraining capabilities of the ropes.
"Mfff!"
"Will you say something useful?"
She splashed like a fish out of water. It was funny to look at. I pulled the gag out of her mouth.
"Those guys must be sent by Leviathan or Abel! There must be others nearby. You can't defeat all of them by yourself. If you unbind me…"
"Do I look that stupid to you? Of course I know the fact those guys were sent by council members. I also can guess that they probably weren't the only one. I even know that you are trying use this opportunity to escape."
"What, no! Look if they get their hands of me do you know what would happen to me? I also- Mfff!"
I put the gag in her mouth again before shouldering her. I widened my vision to detect any other vampires but thankfully they were none.
"The moment you make another noise, I break you jaw. If you struggle, I break you limbs. I have no patience for your bullshit. Nod once if you understood."
She nodded.
"Good."
I had to move quick and stealthily. I currently didn't had any enemies in my vision but that didn't mean that they didn't existed.
"Abel and Leviathan…"
I muttered under my breath. Elizabeth mentioned both of them in not so good of a light. I personelly killed two of Leviathan members already. For Abel…
"Disgusting! Disgusting! Disgusting! That fat pig!"
Elizabeth hugged me and rubbed her face to my chest.
"Is this again about council members?
"Urghhhhhh!"
"I can't tell if that was a yes or you had a seizure."
While Elizabeth called Leviathan a bitch, that was her reaction to Abel. Beel Abel was one of the most hated vampires even among vampires. He considered lazy, gluttonous and ugly. None of course could tell it to his face.
"More reason not to get caught."
