Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: Demon Spider Thread

The thin metal wires start tightening around Faust body. If this goes on any longer, his body will be in pieces. Faust reveals his left clenched hand. There is a kerosene lighter with golden metal case. He flicks the lighter but there is no fire coming out. The thin metal wires suddenly light up in flames instantly. It then melted and turn into ashes.

"An Artifact."

The suspicious man seems shocked but he instantly regain his composure. He put out his palm towards Faust. Like a snake, metal wires slither out from his right arm to his hand. They suddenly accelerated in a straight line towards Faust. Faust jumps to the side. The metal wires make a sharp turn to him.

"Tch"

Some of the rain water around Faust evaporated. He then suddenly moves closer towards the assailant leaving a small trail of water vapor. He pull out his revolver and shoot a few bullets.*Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!* Metal wires shaped like a closely tight spring catch the bullets and send it back to Faust.

"Fucking hell."

*Tang!Tang!TangTang!*

Faust blocked the bullets with his open bulletproof umbrella. He suddenly vanished again. Leaving a small shoe mark on the ground and a small trail of water vapors. He then appeared in front of the man with his gun aim straight at the man forehead.

Faust pull the trigger.*Bang!*Clank!* It sound like a metal hit metal. Metal wires wrapped around the man head protecting his forehead. The impact of the bullet made the man a little stunned.

"Tch"

Faust clicks his tongue and leap backwards while leaving three metal spheres on the ground near the man. The metal spheres light up and explode almost instantly.

Smoke from the explosion clears up revealing the man on one knee covering his face with his right arm. Metal wires are covering both of his legs, his right arm fully, left arm partially and chest partially.

"I really hope that one will take you out."

Faust change his bullets to the special ones. The man moves away his arm from his face slowly. He is breathing heavily. Faust looks at the man.

"Hey, can you at least tell me your name."

"Garak. My name is Garak."

"Let's step up our game. It's almost dinner time."

Faust throws his umbrella to the side. He tighten his grip on the revolver. With a slight groan, Garak shapes his metal wires into many thick sharp tips by coiling them together. He points his right index finger towards Faust. The dozens of thick sharp tips launched itself towards Faust.

Faust activates his booster. Water vapor appears around Faust. The movement of the sharp tips start to slow down.*Thump thump* He move almost like a superhuman, evading all the sharp tips by the breadth of a hair. *Boom! Boom!* The sounds of the sharp tips colliding and smashing the walls and grounds around him.

He shoots a few special bullets.*Clank* The bullets are blocked by metal wires layered against each other turning into a small metal shield.

'Demon Spider Thread auto defense response is really such a pain in the ass.'

Faust shoots a bullet on a flat part of the ground. The bullet ricochet up to Garak's stomach. Faust shoots another bullet ricocheting the first bullet. The first bullet moves towards Garak's right thigh and the second bullet moves towards his face.

Two small metals shield appear at the same time stopping the bullets. Faust shoots the last special bullet on his revolver to Garak's heart. Before the bullet dig deeper into his chest, the metal wires move to stop the bullet

Faust looks down on the ground. A sharp tip launch up from the ground towards Faust head. He jumps high into the sky avoiding the sharp tip. He flicks the kerosene lighter. The bullet near Garak's chest lit up in flame and blows up making a deep hole on Garak' chest. His heart is blown to smithereens.

Garak vomited a lot of blood. He looks at his chest. A sharp tip stops one inch away from Faust forehead. Garak falls on his back.*Thud*.

"Huff...huff...huff*Gasp* It seems your lucks run out today. I put some extra Vestia in the bullets so it can blow up."

Faust reload his revolver with normal bullets. He aims his revolver to Garak's head.

"Just to make sure.*Bang!*"

It is still raining. The rain wash up Garak's blood. Faust flicks his lighter one last time and Garak lit up in flames. His kerosene lighter then crumbled into ashes.

'Dragon's Breath. Can only be used three times if you are not chosen by it.'

"Thank you for your services."

Faust walks away from there.
