***Baek
As the gun goes off I see a slight fear in Rev's face. He goes back to being serious though once he notices nothing happens.
" What the hell? Wasn't that the 6th bullet?" Rev says confused.
I aim the gun at Rev then I shoot it. Bullet goes straight through his skull.
I signal to everyone to start running.
" How did you do that?" Joker asks.
" I let Jackie touch the gun for a moment to change where the bullet is at." I say. I hear a metallic sound bounce off a couple trees. It's very familiar.
" Everyone get down." I say as chains come flying at us. It rips all the trees in half and they wrap around me. They snatch me back.
" Just keep running back to the village. Don't worry about me and keep my people safe." I say.
***Few days before Reznakov
" Be careful, if you ever get into a fight with Baek." Rev says.
" I wouldn't underestimate your brother." I say.
" I know you wouldn't. However the longer the battle goes on the chances you lose will increase. I don't know how much stronger he's gotten. Just be careful he can pick apart and analyze your entire fighting style in a couple exchanges." Rev says.
***Baek
" Why attack me?" I ask.
" You attacked our leader. Now sit here until he gets back up." Reznakov says.
" Why do you wear a blindfold if you aren't blind?" Reznakov asks.
" Currently I am blind. However, it makes me nauseous using echolocation and my eyes at the same time." I say
I break the chains and get up. Reznakov backs up.
" You know Lucifer talked about you a lot. He said there was a point where you were probably the strongest human on earth. " I say.
" Well he wasn't wrong." Reznakov says while getting in his stance.
" He only said that because I wasn't born yet." I say while rushing him.
***Reznakov
I've never fought Baek before. Sure I saw NoTe fight a couple times however, their styles are entirely different. Note fights purely to get the kills. He doesn't do any extra moves. All his moves will end in your death.
Baek is dangerous he leads my attacks on. It's like he has full control over my body. He counters and parries perfectly with deadly speed and accuracy. Sometimes he even attacks through shadows.
Even though I'm the one on the offensive. Why does it feel like I'm the one being hunted.
" Okay I'm getting bored now." Baek says while hitting my arm 3 times. My whole arm just went numb. What did he do?
I try using mana to wake my arm up but it starts to hurt.
" Stop!" Rev yells while grabbing my arm.
" He reversed your mana points. You try using your mana it'll explode in your arm." Rev says.
" How was your nap king?" I ask jokingly.
" I'm done with the cycle of violence Baek. I won't attack you but stay away from me and mines. " Rev says while flying away.
" You heard your boss so leave." I say to Reznakov.
Jackie and Joker pop up from the trees.
" Joker I need you too find out who attacked Rev. While you doing that I'll be in hell for a bit." I say.
" Wait Baek can't you see that?" Jackie says in a concerning voice.
" You do know that echolocation is not remotely the same thing as just seeing right?. However, yes I do hear the sun coming down on us. " I say.
" I'll get to work on investigating what happened. Joker says then disappears.
" So what are we going to do about it?" Jackie says.
"Ignore it. It's not gonna destroy the planet and even if it did I would be fine. It's just a threat. He won't kill a bunch of people just because he's mad." I say,
I haven't been back to hell in a long time. I can't let this situation go unsolved though. Someone got past Legion.
I open a portal into Legion's inner sanctum. Before I even walk through it I see Lucifer and Legion. Scrambling over a map. They look stressed. I've never seen Lucifer look stressed before.
" Baek! It's good you're here. We need your he-" I cut Legion off and say.
" What happened to the book of pain. Don't waver just answer." I say.
" While I was distracted someone snuck in and took it." Legion says with his head down.
" Shouldn't Kuro be here. Getting past you is already crazy but Kuro?! That isn't possible." I say.
" That's another problem. We can't find Kuro. He disappeared a few months after you left. " Legion says.
" Shit shit shit what the fuck! Kuro is the black reaper. The ultimate defense. Lucifer you've been here unprotected and said nothing!" I yell.
" Calm down." Legion says.
" No fuck staying calm! Anyone could've attacked. We don't know how Asura feels about you right now. 666 is unstable. Don't get me started on that crazy sack of shit Beezlebub!" I get louder.
" I would've been fine. Plus you're barely starting to reach a higher power. Don't forget the gods and devils are all capable of universe destroying attacks. " Lucifer says.
" I understand you're worried but what I need you to do. Is go find Kuro. " Lucifer says.
" Well where is he?" I ask. Lucifer points to a place on the map.
I look over it. " Man what the fuck."
***Rev
He's stronger than he was before. When he fought Thor. He's also the leader of them people none of them backed down to me. I walk into the room that Kendra is in.
She's being looked after by the nurses. They've been making sure she's getting back to full health. However, she seems to have woken up. I sit on her bed and hug her.
" Thank you Rev. they told me how you gave me your heart to keep me alive. Thank you." Kendra says.
" Don't thank me you're my wife. Of course I would give up my heart for you. However, you can tell me why you have traces of negative mana in you." I say in a serious tone
