Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Cunning.

Victor, in the ship... Has finished bringing all of the material that he bought. Naturally, as soon as he finished taking in the material... He grab his greatsword and also Noah's Dark Ray...

He step out of the ship and then naturally stated "Deep Scavenger... It's no use hiding anything. I know you all damn too well. Your tactic is nothing but a child's play to me. Come out and fight me if you want." He let out a bit of pressure and gaze around the parking space...

As soon as he said that, the Deep Scavenger goons immediately came out.

"... No Jashin. Meaning, she's going for my Captain's head."

"Indeed. Our Lady Jashin is currently going for your sister and your captain! You're stuck with us here, Victor!"

Upon learning about that, Victor look at the ship and then whispered... "Gaidos. Use the Nanobots to transport the Dark Ray to Captain Discreetly."

Bzzzt, Bzzzt. "Victor. Go to Thea as soon as possible. That's the command that Captain Noah have for you." Gaidos connected to Victor's bodysuit and then informed him about the situation that Noah is in.

"What's going on with Captain right now?"

"Captain is badly wounded from fighting against Jashin. Thea is currently fighting Jashin in the real dimension. I will be bringing Captain's Dark Ray and a few healing spray, but cover them existence. That's Captain order." Gaidos explained what Noah wanted and Victor understood it fully.

He wear his armor and then immediately let Nanobots take care of Noah's weapon and healing needs.

Victor looked at the crowd of Deep Scavenger Pirates and then rushed without care. "I'll give you all a good beating so that my captain safety is certain!" Victor decided to smash all of the goons before going to Thea and Noah.

Thea's situation is pretty different than before.

Thea and Jashin's fight is intense, with Thea matching the dual wielding and speed of Jashin. But, it came at a price. Wounds.

"Oh my, Thea Kaizen. I was looking forward to go against you, you know? You are the few people that allows me to continue to evolve when fighting! But look at you, Do you not evolve at all? That is... Sad!!" Jashin laugh maniacally as she moved wildly and swinging her daggers around. Throwing around a few illusion and blending in with those illusion to confuse Thea.

Thea grit her teeth, realizing that she's at a disadvantage right now. She has the responsibility of keeping Noah safe, yet she failed. Now, her mind is filled with worries because she knows about the mismatch that is Noah against Jashin.

'I need to get Captain back! I don't want him to get hurt too much! Jashin is a merciless bitch and she's a very cunning too... I need to force her hand to bring me to her pocket dimension!' Thea thought.

She couldn't focus because of Noah and now she's paying the price. Getting scratched and cuts by Jashin relentless approach and masterful control of her daggers. The combination of her diagonal slash and fakes is annoying for Thea.

But, she didn't go back on her action. She try her best to keep up and as the fight goes on, Thea find her perfect rhythm to fight against Jashin.

'Oh? She find her pace against me. It's time for me to change my pace now. I'll slow my speed down and give more fakes!' Jashin decided on the best course of action.

As Jashin is swinging her daggers, just as Thea about to parry it, she slow it down, pull her hand and push her body forward, completely destroying Thea's pace...

"Annoying bitch, that's what you are." Thea rashly front kick Jashin to force stop her movement and Jashin did. She stopped and then gauge the situation once again.

Thea front kick seems to be an instant reflexive decision by her. Which warned Jashin that Thea's reflex is a lot faster than before.

But, Jashin smiled sinisterly and then started to hop back, moving away from Thea.

"Well, it's been fun, Thea Kaizen. I will be finishing that captain of yours now. He is badly wounded and if you are lucky. I might give you his corpse!" Jashin laughed menacingly and bait Thea to move to her.

Thea did, but since Jashin seen it coming. She has started to disappear from the reality plane. Before suddenly, from Jashin's right left side, Victor appear like in a flash and then stomping his right foot toward Jashin half distorted body.

"I'm glad you didn't change at all, Jashin. Still the cunning but not aware of every situation lady." Victor stomp was so powerful that it canceled her dimension shift and blow her away.

"Ugh!!!" Jashin hold onto her right arm and it was shattered because Victor didn't hold his power back.

She now knows that she messed up. Because she didn't think that Victor would be able to come here so quickly. She knows that Victor is around because she sends her troops to him. But, the fact that he's here, means that everyone is dead.

Victor didn't chase further though. Instead, he immediately went to Thea and then give her a few healing salve and then allow her to recover her body before engaging in the fight against Jashin once again.

"Victor. Captain is in danger, I heard from Jashin that she wound him badly. If we not force her to get him out of her pocket dimension, or force us to her pocket dimension, Captain could lose his life." Thea worries about Noah's safety.

Victor turns a bit sour as well as he heard that. He knows about Noah situation from Gaidos and that's why he brings all of his equipment with him... But then, knowing that he had done enough... He didn't need to worry.

"Thea. Believe in Captain right now." Victor decided to not chase after Jashin right now because he knew that Jashin is too fast for him. He just got a lucky hit because she didn't see him coming.

"Okay then... I'll believe in our captain..." Thea loosened up and then let Jashin go.

Jashin knew that they're letting her go because they're not chasing after her. So, she smiled menacingly and then muttered "This will be your greatest mistake. Don't hope that your captain can survive my onslaught!"

Then, she disappears...
