What the hell?! Since when could Rev overpower Baek that easily. Rev turns and looks at me. " I don't want to have to hurt you. So let him go and leave peacefully." Rev says.
" Unless you don't want to get paid. Don't let him go." Baek says.
***Baek
" He broke a couple ribs with that kick. When did he get that strong? What's the difference between the way we train?
Rev blitz's me. Appearing right in front of my face. I put my hands up to block but his punch pierces my guard. He throws another punch. I can't block it so I misdirect his power towards the ground. Using my leg.
What the hell? Why is the ground unaffected? I dash backwards to get out of his range. It's obvious I've gotten weaker. I'm fighting with one arm, no cardinal sin, no eyes, and no mana.
However, how strong has Rev gotten. Rev dashes backwards as well then goes after Joker. I recognize this attack strategy. It's the same way Stitch used against me and him when we were kids.
I signal to Joker for both of us to disperse. Rev won't follow us. He's more focused on saving the berserker.
" You wanna talk about what happened back there?" Joker asks.
" It was better to fight like an assassin than a brawler. That way we complete the mission and escape." I say. War pops out of the shadows.
" This paper has the coordinates to where Jack Frost is. The rest of the Horseman continue to look for Wukong." War says.
" Good now we can really leave." I say.
***Rev
Those people definitely weren't weak. The one I fought kept getting up after I hit him. That hasn't happened in a while.
" Hey man are you okay?" I ask. The man keeps shaking. There's smoke coming from his body like he's heating up.
" Rev back up he's gonna explo-" Kendra yells!
It's too late the man explodes in my face. Boiling blood is all over me. Intestines wrapped around debris.
" Rev are you okay?" Kendra asks.
" Yeah I'm fine. " I say back. Wait don't I have the white mask on? She shouldn't recognize me.
" You really think I couldn't recognize yo big ass? I've been knew that you were white mask. I was waiting on you to tell me." Kendra says.
" I'm happy you are saving people. Keep doing it." Kendra says.
***Baek
" Rev isn't gonna be happy that the berserker exploded in his face." Joker says.
" Rev was the target." I say.
" What?" Joker asks.
" Well he is the next target. The next target is white mask which is Rev. Zebec just wanted to introduce us to his power first." I say.
Sakura walks in.
" Here Baek I finished your arm. You told me your previous mana technique was sound. So the arm will use electricity instead of mana. " Sakura says.
" Thank you. I'll take better care of this one" I say.
" Oh don't worry you have 2 chances to break it. After the 2nd one though it'll no longer fix itself." Sakura says.
" Why are you guys packing?" Sakura asks.
" We will be leaving for a while. We finally found who we were looking for." I say.
" Okay. Well hopefully you'll come back with more money to give me." Sakura says.
" How important is getting to Jack Frost?" Joker asks.
" My teacher told me too. That's all the reason I need. " I say.
Joker doesn't ask anymore questions. We start making the Journey.
***Rev
" Who were the people who attacked you?" Reznakov asks.
" Assassins. They were wrapped in military gear. One of them didn't have an arm. That all I saw. There was nothing significant about their fighting styles either." I say.
" I doubt we'll be able to find them but I'll keep a lookout for them." Reznakov says.
" Also the way they killed the victim was weird. His body just heated up and exploded everywhere. His blood was boiling. " I say.
" Either they can use the blood mana technique or they infected him with the blood of a devil." Reznakov says.
***Baek
" It's cold here. Aren't you cold?" Joker asks.
" I don't get cold" I say.
" You have me to thank for that." NoTe says.
" How deep do we have to go into this place. There's ice all around I can't sense any life forms. " Joker says.
" I can. There's a small heat signature further ahead. Let's speed up." I say.
" Woab what the hell. Why does it look like that. He's like the center of an ice storm but it isn't moving."
" Joker that isn't a he. Plus she is meditating most likely increasing her mana core." I say.
" Well then what do we do? It'll be dangerous to wake her up." Joker says.
" We meditate with her. Until she's done." I say.
Every time I meditate it's pure darkness. Can't see anything nor sense anything. Just me and the shadows.
" Baek, Baek please wake up." I hear Joker say. I look up and Joker is being welded into the ice on the wall. This scene looks real familiar.
" Let my teammate go." I say.
" You guys are trespassing. Leave!" She says.
" Jack Frost we are here to recruit you. We aren't here to fight." I say.
I wonder how many days it's been? Maybe a week? She has no weapons just a giant cloth covering her.
" Why should I go with you?" She asks.
" You're father sent us." I say. She makes a weird face. Uh oh did I piss her off. The cloth disappears and clothes appear on her. How did she do that?
" I'm gonna just kill you." She says. I jump backwards and grab Joker through the shadows.
" Joker tell me everything you see!" I yell.
" Why can't you technically see better than me." Joker says.
" From the moment I saw her I thought this was bad. It made no sense for her to be doing mana core training if she's part troll and her mana technique is ice." I say.
" What are you trying to say?" Joker asks.
" She isn't cresting and manipulating ice. She manipulating the atoms. Forcing them to slow down makes them freeze." I say.
" So her mana technique is to manipulate atoms. That's too strong." Joker says.
" Don't worry she doesn't know yet. However keep it in mind." I say.
