As soon as Vengeance Hunter use the 'Shared Ability', he was immediately swarmed by Arachon Soldiers who received direct order from Aranea to confront the main source of interference.
In that very moment, before the Arachons came in, Vengeance Hunter used another 'Shared Ability Skill' called
Aranea's [Influence Extension] also allows her to coordinate her minions with ease, making these guys have a great support as Aranea's influence enables her to see things through her minion as medium, giving her a sight for her to analyse and coordinate.
That's why, her influence needs to be interfered and her sight of things needs to be blinded. Especially since the train Vengeance Hunter's rode is the train that will take him to W.E.B.'s hidden base, then Vengeance Hunter must ensure this train approached the Base safely.
Even if it means the train itself had to be the train of death.
...
(Meanwhile, in another Parlor Car Section of the Train.)
" The train will arrive at the base approximately three minutes. "
" Guess the road on the 'Fountain Bridge' will be over. " Said one of the guys who wore Scary White Masks, just like the ones Vengeance Hunter killed earlier*.
" Finally, we could all bring today's capture to W.E.B. higher-ups. "
" I don't get it why W.E.B. only lets us in through the 'Fountain Bridge' rails. "
" I understand it's for secrecy, but for us, it scares us of to return to them, railing towards the rails that had unscalable depths below, bringing our results for the day. " He mentions the road they're in. The road now is on the bridge rail, made to past through the tallest fountain on Hellios. The 'King's Fountain'.
" Especially our dearest W.E.B. employer, he demands us more beautiful girl this night. "
" Hmph, right..., even if there's a clueless girl that had to use the trains at night, I doubt it would be that pretty, like hell, what kind pretty girl who wants to use peasant transport. "
" I know right, even the guys in our back told that they only managed to capture one, which happened to be good-looking. "
" Hope that'll pleased our dearest employer, he must have a party in the base this night. "
" Alongside Lady Aranea Syphon of course... " said the other man as his thoughts are on to her.
" Mind your thoughts, fool! "
" Lady Aranea will never accept the likes of us... "
" We're just some Low Rarity Star crooks that happened to get the job from W.E.B., still not an Arachon yet. "
" If we're an Arachon, we would not just get the chance to meet her, but also connected to her mind 24/7. "
" I envy those Arachons. "
" Speaking of their 'connection', do you know Lady Aranea also able to gain more abilities using her connection with Arachons? "
" Really? You mean...- "
" She basically acquired many powers and abilities, I heard it was thanks to this connection, giving her the access towards the Arachon's mind, enabling her to access their innate abilities. "
" Don't forget, despite our abilities' Main Energy Fuel Core is on the stomach and pumped by the heart as it spread to our body. "
" One must not forget, the body part that were responsible to activate our abilities is the brain. "
" Thus, if the brain is damaged, most of those who had it will have a hard time activating it. "
" That's why, a 'Telepath' like Lady Aranea and the likes of 'Mind Master' are rare, the emergence of these telepaths is on the ratio of one percent in each decade or years. "
" For with their 'Telepath', deactivating one's use over their Abilities are easy. "
" It's simple, with their 'Telepath' they could just simply made the person 'forget' that they had the ability in the first place. "
" Indeed, your right, my friend. "
" Telepaths like her are that powerful the more you think about it. "
" Besides, back to the theory of the brain, then technically the reason she's able to have other abilities are... "
" She copied it after gaining greater access towards the Arachon's mind. "
" As she gains access, the Arachons get the share of her abilities and sight while also granting her access on how the Arachon's work their abilities. "
The white masked men began to discuss things but as the discussion goes, they suddenly heard screams behind the back door of their Parlor Car Section.
" What is that? " Asked one of the men as the screams are getting more louder, the battle, the clash.
" I recognize that voice, isn't that one of the Arachons...? "
" Why is he screaming? Is it an intruder? " The man asks as the other White Masked Men began to prepare as the voices are getting closer and closer towards their position.
" I don't like this, ready your powers. " Said one of the White Masked Men, preparing their abilities that happened to shift the parts of their body towards that of an animal.
[Mantis Scythe]
[Wolf Claw]
[Sabretooth]
The chaotic sound is getting closer, closer. The White Masked Men prepares as the sound of chaos are approaching them each moment. They waited, patiently wait for it as the chaotic sounds of conflict slowly descend into silence.
* The White Masked Men looked at each other. *
As silence comes, they began to wonder what's going on, one of them decide it's time to check things up, approaching their door, slowly approach and put his hand on the handle. Opening it a bit.
* Door opens. *
The White Masked Men sees the corpses of the Arachons as well as their fellow comrades lying on the floor. They see it all while maintaining their composure as some of them present decide to go inside the place and look around.
" We need to jump outta here. " One of 'em says as soon as he looks around.
" I don't care if the train is currently 85% through the 'Fountain Bridge' right now, but if this happened to us- " While saying that the lights of their section of place began to turn off, shocking the rest of the White Masked Men who were in their original place, immediately deciding to close the door when it happened, quickly blocking it with many objects they could use in their panic.
Sadly.
* Stab. *
One of the White Masked Men is stabbed by an elongated black blade, sharply piercing through the door, creating a large hole in it.
* The blade shortens. *
After the blade is gone, suddenly, a flying Black Ball comes into the room.
"
As the voice says that the
" Keukh!!! "One of them says as he was stabbed until his body reach the section's skies. He struggles while witnessing the caster of that sphere enters the place, intimidating them as he comes with his Black Armor Suit filling the man with dread as the Black Armor person glares at him with the crimson visors on his masks.
...
(Hours later.)
[W.E.B.'s Base, Arrival Station]
" Lady Aranea informed us that there's a problem with the incoming train, scheduled to arrive at the middle of the night. " An Arachon Soldier Elite speaks to his underlings.
" The details are, there's a great disturbance to her Telepath Influence, an interference occurs. "
" The order is, to confront the arriving train and investigate, as well as confront the interference as soon as possible. "
" Prepare your positions! " The Elite relay the orders as the men prepares their stand for the incoming train arrives in that station.
* Arachon soldiers armed themselves. *
* Train door opens. *
From the door comes out a floating Black Sphere that confuses the men, approaching them as they became wary of it but decide to be patient for, they're still confused on what that is.
" Do you take me for a fool? " Said the Elite who is pissed on seeing it and decide to punch it, a choice that he will soon regret as his body as well as his men around him are immediately sliced to pieces by the Black Sphere's explosive slice.
"
" I'm in... " Vengeance Hunter says as he officially arrives on W.E.B.'s Base.
" Good. " Black Merchant replied in his telepath.
" You better deal with the guys down there. " Black Merchant ends his chat with him, as he flies towards a certain floor in the Base's tower, flying to where his target was at.
