BXBX NOVEL Chapter 96 A Question
While Hunter was surprised, Jair opened his mouth with frightened eyes.
Unfortunately, what he was up against was the captain of a mercenary army, a man who was used to killing.
The man had no hesitation as his sword arrived at Jair's forehead. He split his head to his body, killing him instantly.
"You?" The sight made Aron flinch while Saul looked terrified. And just as he was caught off guard, Rose kicked him in the chest, sending him flying towards Hunter.
It was certainly another chance for him to kill again.
Saul was unable to evade in that condition, so Hunter easily thrust his sword into his heart. His death was even quicker than Jair's.
At the same time, Aron finally managed to stand up. However, instead of trying to fight again, he chose to turn around and jump onto the wall behind him. Something then appeared at his feet, a faint light that glimpsed akin to wind.
It was just as Arthur had expected, that man could create an elemental, something akin to a magus.
However, it did not come from spiritual energy, but the evolution of the cells of his body, a case similar to electric eels where they can create electricity from the cells of their body.
Of course, for the Newbie Evolvers, it is not easy to let go of such elements. They may need certain conditions such as being in a state of urgency due to danger so that their body and cells activate the elemental power as a self-defense measure.
"Hunter, throw your sword," Arthur said, glancing at Hunter.
The latter instantly threw his sword at him and he easily grabbed the hilt.
However, when he wanted to move, Harel who shouldn't be able to stand anymore suddenly managed to stand up. He then ran towards the bus. It seemed that he wanted to distract Arthur so that Aron could escape and report this incident to his superiors.
"Because you want to die!" Arthur didn't give him a chance to approach the bus.
From his hand, appeared a bolt of lightning that looked like a snake, even had a mouth.
It slid towards Harel, hit him right in the neck and pierced through the neck until it had a hole.
Harel's mouth opened, he tried to cover the hole in his neck which was spurting out a lot of blood while his body fell before rolling around. Surprisingly enough, he still didn't die in that state so Arthur gave him a strange look.
He guessed he might have some sort of special ability too.
For now, he didn't care about that because Aron was more important. And that kind of special ability wasn't really that important from his perspective either.
The man had already jumped over the wall, just had not landed.
Before he could land, Arthur threw the sword in his hand at him. It emitted more light because he injected lightning into it.
Whoosh!
It shot like a bullet, its speed exceeding what humans could see. Aron was not even aware of the sword's arrival. He also didn't get to see it before it hit hid head, causing it to explode instantly.
In the end, what landed was only his headless body.
Arthur then stared at the frozen Robert, something rare considering he was a mercenary.
Without saying anything to him, he shot the man in the forehead.
"Attack them!" Arthur ordered Hunter and Rose while looking at Robert's army.
He didn't want any of them to manage to escape alive.
Of course, he wasn't silent either. He pointed his hand at the sky and cast a spell.
The beach shook right after that. Then, one hole after another appeared under the mercenaries' feet, causing them to fall and become trapped.
That made it easier for Hunter and the others to slaughter them.
Arthur glanced at the bus. Amanda, Emilia, and Gianna naturally supervised the battle. Even the first one was extremely shocked, not to mention the two women.
They were two people trying to kill each other, but seeing the actual killing, how one human after another died, they became more and more frightened by death. They thought that no matter how much they hated their enemies, their own lives should be prioritized.
The battle ended a few minutes later. It was a crushing victory for Hunter and the others, but that didn't mean none of them were unscathed. Some of them were shot in the leg and shoulder.
Fortunately, it wasn't their first experience so they were pretty calm.
"Y-you're a monster," said Harel who was lying not far from Arthur with a trembling voice.
Arthur looked at him again and walked up to him. He narrowed his eyes as he found the bleeding on his neck had stopped.
"The evolutionary direction of your body is to heal yourself when injured, did you know that already?" Arthur said.
Harel touched his neck again and it seemed he really didn't know it because he seemed to be just starting to realize how badly his injury was. Even if he didn't die, he shouldn't be able to speak.
"It might be a good thing if one person from the enemy side joins my side," Arthur continued. "If I accept you, are you ready to betray your country and join me? I can give you something nicer."
"What nonsense are you saying?" Harry didn't seem to believe what he was hearing. He added, "and I will not betray my country."
"I see!" Arthur finally aimed the gun at his chest.
"Wait, can I ask you a question?" Harel spoke in a hurry the moment he saw the muzzle of the gun.
"I don't like men who hesitate, your chance is gone unless you can give me convincing reasons" Arthur replied.
"No, I just wanted to ask about my doubts, perhaps a magus like you can answer them."
"Say!" Arthur ordered.
"This is about my country, we always believed that it was the land promised by god to us. It's just, I've been a little doubtful lately. — I mean, why would god do something like that or is there some ulterior motive."
"Kekeke, you and your tribe should stop dreaming," said Robin who had just arrived along with Hunter and the others.
Harel looked at him, but he ignored him.
As for Arthur, he showed a strange smile.
Of course, he knew what Harel was talking about. Even though he didn't follow any religion, he still knew about such things because sometimes there were teachers at school who would talk about it.
