The woods, which had been noisy for nearly an hour, finally began to fall silent, with only sporadic gunshots rang out from time to time. The lab was long gone, and the executioners were fighting and retreating. Step by step, the Savior is progressing, and the battle is coming to an end.

And outside the woods, another battle is about to begin.

Leon was drained by the demons, but he was still able to fight. Although Akeya has enough physical strength, NS seems to have something wrong with his function because of the mess just now. However, he is already familiar with the feeling of controlling EXP, and he can play it all.

"Did you say anything to Celia just now?" He asked suddenly.

"Why do you ask this?"

"I feel like you're in a daze when you see her, maybe her memory has recovered, right? Super awakening, I've heard the word. ”

"Hehe, you're quite knowledgeable."

"Answer me."

Leon shrugged his shoulders with a smile and spread his hands, the dagger swaying slightly in his palm.

"Who knows? Maybe it's restored, maybe it's not, it doesn't matter. ”

"If she recovered, didn't you want to live with her?"

"Living together?"

Akya turned off the NS, allowing her body to relax for a moment, and then inserted the cutter back into the scabbard on either side of her thigh.

"Didn't you leave the Colonel because you found her? At first, she didn't know that she had a brother, and it might be difficult for you to recognize him, but now she should accept it, aren't you going to try? ”

"It's so easy to say, you don't understand it as an outsider."

Leon also turned off the NS and tucked the dagger back into the hook of his belt.

"This incident has exposed my position and identity. Infinis will notify the other families to hunt me down. Do you know? That family has also had mixed-race people, so it's obviously not my family's business, but I'm still so concerned. The rescuers and executioners won't let me go easily, and even you, the Akiyama City police, didn't you send you too?

He let out a long sigh and looked up at the clouds floating freely in the sky.

"My peaceful life is over, and the next step will be another endless run."

"Reluctantly?"

"Nonsense, who wants to live without a fixed place and be displaced?"

Two years, in just two years, León lived the most comfortable life in more than twenty years. After finding Selia in Golfgon, he rented a house near Celia's home and found a job near Celia's shop. Every day, I watched Celia go to school, get out of school, and work in the store from afar.

At first, he just watched from a distance, but then he was bolder, casually disguised himself with a phantom mask, and went to the restaurant to eat. Why can't you use no makeup? He didn't have a clear answer to this question.

"Hello, what's coming?"

This was the first thing his sister said to him, and Leon was stunned for a while, and then listened to it again before he began to order. It's a wonderful feeling, the last time we met, she was still a crying child, and Selia was not her original name, probably from the couple who adopted her. If it weren't for the identity confirmation of many parties, he wouldn't believe that the lively and cheerful girl in front of him was his sister.

Over the past two years, Leon has changed his identity countless times to get in touch with Selia. Enthusiastic taxi drivers, out-of-towners asking for directions, and street vendors. Conversations and experiences, memories are still fresh, and they are my happiest memories.

However, behind this happiness, there is an indescribable loneliness.

"You know that, Akeya? Shrouded in fog, there was a vague feeling around him. I usually have contact with people, I can easily talk to them, and I can easily get acquainted with them. I know a lot of people, but none of them can really get close to me, it's just that, vague...... Loneliness. ”

"Not even Celia? It's no wonder, after all, you haven't revealed your identity in front of her, so now ......"

"Not so much. Because the Phoenix family probably didn't know Celia's appearance and information yet, after the box was opened, Celiya had no use value, so she was safe now. Soon she will be able to return to her familiar daily life. This time, over time, will be forgotten. ”

"Along with the fact that you saved her, with you forgetting it, yes? Do you think that's fine? Obviously she noticed it, but you let her forget, is this appropriate? ”

Akeya took a step and asked, and Leon's head lowered a little, but quickly raised it again, and retorted categorically.

"Or else? You want me to forcibly recognize her, and then make her a target for hunting down? Is it appropriate to ruin the peaceful routine and pull her into a life of fugitive? ”

These words silenced Arkya for a moment, and Leon was sure that he was speechless.

"It's better to talk less nonsense, right? Let's ......"

"One last question."

"You've got a lot to say."

"Do you hate the Colonel?"

Leon's expression was the same as when Akeya first heard the question, tilting his head.

"What's the problem? It's more brainless than the one just now. ”

"Answer me."

"Do I hate him?"

With a low, somewhat terrifying reply, Leon slowly drew his dagger, pulling his feet away and lowering his body.

"Then let me ask you, for a person who took advantage of the fire to rob, forcibly broke up other people's families for his own selfish interests, separated me from my parents, and couldn't recognize Celia, do I have any other feelings besides hatred——!!??"

Leon, who suddenly burst out, killed Akya in front of him with one arrow step, and Akya was already prepared for this reaction, and the two unsheathed cutters accurately parried the dagger, and pushed hard, and the two sides opened up a little distance, and then ...... at the same time

“NS……”

“…… Initiate! ”

The fourth contest began. Leon didn't use illusions or shadows, and only relied on physical skills to fight Akeya. Akya didn't seem to intend to continue using his imagination either, two daggers and two sabers, and fierce music played in the clearing.

This time, Akeya's movements were more flexible and changeable than before, and they were completely on par with Leon. But Leon was even more angry, and Akyan's stupid question angered him.

"That old man only uses me as a tool! It's not just me, it's you! He specially found children to sell his life to him, just to control us from an early age and prevent us from rebelling! Do you understand!? ”

After several dagger attacks in a row, Leon rolled forward and kicked his feet from the bottom up, and Akeya hurriedly retreated to dodge, and then swept his legs to kick Leon's hand on the ground. Leon lifted his fists one foot off the ground, turned over and stood firmly, and the fierce dagger pounced on Akeya's face, but was blocked by the saber in time.

"I heard from the Major! But the colonel he ...... It's not just what you think! ”

"Still defending the old man? You're such an obedient dog! ”

"I don't deny that the Colonel's approach is too selfish, but!"

Akya, who was pushing the dagger hard, was the main anti-guest, and accelerated to rush up, the saber slashed down and covered the face, and Leon's dagger intercepted head-on, and this time it was his turn to be suppressed.

"People change, and the Colonel is not a heartless person! Doesn't he visit you often? ”

"Xiao En Xiaohui wants to erase the mistakes he has made? Excuse me! ”

Leon leon turned to the side, gave way to Akeya's force, took the opportunity to squeeze under him, pushed his shoulders, pushed Akya up, and fell directly over the shoulder. But Akeya opened one hand, and quickly grabbed the saber in his hand along with Leon's arm, and after falling to the ground in the air, Leon was thrown out. Leon immediately adjusted his posture and landed steadily.

"You and Tokar won't understand, for so many years, I have been living alone and fighting alone! That old man is not a normal person at all, he has a standard unit set by himself in his heart, other people, things, things, as well as the risks and benefits of various tasks, everything, he can use this unit to measure, and then choose the one with more without hesitation, regardless of the life and death of the tool! He's such a bastard! ”

Leon pounced on him again, and Akeya retreated as he received it, unconsciously back into the woods. He dodged from behind the tree, dodging Leon's dagger and pulling away.

"Since you hate the colonel for this, why don't you kill him, or just run away?"

"Do you think I don't want to?"

Leon, who caught up with Akya again, swept back and forth with the dagger, and Akya dodged with a bone, while the trunk of the tree behind him was cut in half.

"Every time that old man shows up, I want to kill him! But what about killing him? What about escaping? My life has been ruined, and he can't make up for it even if he dies! ”

"Maybe. But even so, the Colonel stays with you until you leave on your own initiative, because he trusts you and he wants to bridge the barrier! ”

"Nonsense!"

"This is not nonsense! When I left the special operations regiment, the colonel said it! ”

Yes, on the day of leaving the Einsatzgruppen, Karp sent Akya outside the base and gave him two boxes. Referring to the case containing the NS, Karp said.

“…… Originally, there were two sets, one of which was handed over to me...... Underling. ”

"The colonel treats you as a subordinate, and it is not a tool! He treats all his subordinates equally, and he is no longer the cold-blooded animal who only looks at the results in the past! ”

"So what? He can't help me at all now! ”

"He can't, but I can."

Leon was stunned: "Can you?" ”

"I'm a police officer in Akiyama City, and I'm here to arrest or kill you on the orders of the mayor."

Akya increased the NS's contribution by several levels in one go, almost reaching the maximum. The EXP intensity of the NS has been greatly increased, and it already emits a bright light.

"But until then, I was a 'nameless' warrior, a comrade-in-arms you had never met."

"So what? Are you going to make it up to me for the old man? ”

"No, I'm going to correct your mistakes, wake you up completely, and let you see the reality clearly!"

The light of the NS became brighter and brighter, and the cutter in Akeya's hand was also surrounded by light, and a thin slit opened around the blade, and EXP burst out from it, quickly solidifying and turning into a dark yellow EXP blade.

"Akya Trosimi......"

He pulled his lunge and turned his saber in his left hand backwards.

"Now the ...... will be executed"

The left hand is in front, the right hand is in the back, and a resolute gaze is shot in the eye.

"'Nameless' Final Mission!"

*****

Zasent, who had been monitoring the movement from behind, received a report from the front-line troops: the executioners had retreated, no other enemies were found around, more than thirty people were wounded, including Lynn, but fortunately no one was killed. He ordered the people around him to be released from the alert state and go to the front line with him.

Most of Lynn's men have taken control of the lab, searching for weapons that can be used, or valuable data and items. Two people returned, treating Lynn's wounds, and the shot failed to kill the fangs, and he dodged them at the last moment, and then Lin didn't find a chance, but was cut by the fangs on the arms and thighs, and the bleeding continued. Fortunately, Fangs received the signal to retreat and left decisively.

"How's it going?" Zasent, who had arrived, asked.

"It hurts, nothing else." Lynn leaned against the tree and sat on the ground. A soldier bandages his arm wound and disinfects his leg.

"I really didn't expect that there weren't many executors inside and out, and a group of superpowers from an unknown family were recruited to help."

"Is it because there are not enough people, so you ask for foreign help?"

Zasant leaned over, held out his finger, and tapped lightly against Lynn's wound. Bright flames suddenly jumped out of her fingertips, and in a flash, Lynn was so pained that her whole body tensed and she gasped.

"It's ...... That's a lot of energy. ”

"You don't know my disinfection technique yet?"

"To know is to know, but ...... Yes! ”

"Bear with me, it's so fast."

The soldiers next to him hurriedly helped Lin bandage. Finishing this, Zasant's gaze turned to the laboratory in the distance, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

If the executor is understaffed, they prefer not to carry out the task unless the matter is urgent. Having said that, after getting the box and key, it is unreasonable to leave the Arctic Kingdom but have to stay. Thinking about today's battle, it can only be said that there has been a change within the executioners.

"Perhaps, the on-site executive who came here this time wants to swallow the pieces for himself."

"The ...... we called"

"Maybe someone didn't want him to get his way, but it's useless to think about it now. What about Dimmit? ”

Lin nodded to the other soldier next to her, who immediately stood in front of Zasent.

"Report, just contacted by Dimitte, who repelled an executioner in the basement of the building, is tracking the whereabouts of the box."

Zasente said "um", Dimmit, who has the power of omens, may be able to find the box faster.

"Where's Akeya?"

"He rescued the target underground, but after that, the communication could not be connected, and he should have cut it off."

"Cut off? Don't know where he is now? ”

"I don't know."

I see, since she rescued Celia, she must have gone to settle her personal grudge with Leon.

"Organize two teams of people, one team to chase Dimiit, and one team to the west and south of the forest to find Akya."

"The soldiers of that world government must be with SHADOW, if they find ......"

"I give you permission to do whatever you want."

"Yes!"

The soldier saluted and hurried away. Zasant looked at the soldier's back and smiled helplessly.

No matter what Akeya chooses, when the soldiers arrive, I'm afraid they will only see one of the two.

*****

"You say I'm wrong? Where did I go wrong? ”

Leon hated the look in Akeya's eyes, without hesitation, full of confidence, as if he knew himself well. Disgusted, disgusted.

"It's not me that's wrong, it's all of you!"

He also maximized NS's output and attacked first, and Akya caught up. NS made the strength of the two of them continue to increase, and their movements began to deviate from common sense. After only three seconds of contact, the two sides swung their weapons out more than twenty times, and they were in a fight.

"I want my sister to have a good life, what's wrong?"

Leon, who was holding back his strength, gradually gained the upper hand in the crazy attack that continued to speed up, and Akeya could only see the opportunity to jump on a tree to temporarily close his edge, Leon followed closely up the tree, and the battlefield of the two shifted from the ground to the tree, shuttling between the trees.

They free their hands or feet to grasp the trunk of a tree and attack their opponents at the same time, as nimble as two monkeys fighting in a tree. And these trees can be badly unlucky, the sabers with EXP blades unfolded, and the daggers soaked in shadow poison, all extremely sharp. In the shadow of the sword light, the broken leaves and branches fell like raindrops.

"I don't want to get her on the run, what's wrong?"

After half a minute of tug-of-war, Leon finally seized the opportunity and pounced on Akeya before he could catch the branches, pressing Akeya's chest with his left arm, and raising the dagger with his right hand, pressing Akeya from mid-air to the ground!

"I want to help her start a new life......

Seeing that the dagger would pierce his chest after landing, Akeya hurriedly blocked the dagger with his saber, and at the moment when he was about to land, he turned over with all his might, and as a result, both of them fell to the ground, each of them at a distance. Arkya threw the saber in his right hand before getting up, and Leon, who was about to get up, quickly dodged sideways, and the saber "clicked" into the trunk of the tree.

“…… What's wrong!? ”

Leon, who shouted, kicked the ground like an arrow off the string and pounced on Akeya. Akeya's free hand quickly drew his gun, but before he could pull the trigger, Leon approached him. Leon tilted his head slightly to avoid the muzzle of the gun, and slashed his left dagger at Akya's neck, and stabbed his right dagger into his waist.

Akeya knocked Leon's left dagger flying with a single shot, and the saber in his left hand held the other dagger firmly. When the muzzle of the gun was about to be aimed at Leon, Leon took a step further, strangled Akeya's neck with his left hand, and with the help of the inertia of his body, threw him out in one breath and hit the tree.

Akya, who hit the tree, simply sat down and rested for a while. Leon was also a little physically exhausted after this wave of fighting, panting for breath.

"Everything I do, it's for her. You don't have someone worth protecting, you haven't had that experience, you can't possibly understand! ”

"So what? Do you accept the life of running away from your parents, but you don't approve of the life of running away from your sister? You think it's good to be with your parents, so why doesn't Celia think it's better to be with you? How do you assume that Celia won't accept you? ”

Leon was a little speechless, but immediately replied: "You are quibbling!" How can I bear to ruin her life now? I'm here for ......"

"No, you're not just for her."

Leaning against the trunk of the tree, Akeya stood up a little.

"You sacrificed yourself for the sake of your parents and went with the colonel. For the sake of Selia, you choose to leave alone. You're just like me in the past, you're just used to doing everything by yourself. But that's loneliness, and loneliness brings not only loneliness, but also despair. ”

Arkya, who had regained her footing, reached her back and pulled a hand^ray over her belt, pinning it in front of her belt.

"You're not just trying to settle with me now, you're trying to ...... Die, right? ”

Leon was silent, his eyes took his eyes off Akeya, and the hand he had been holding was lowered, a look that was equivalent to an affirmative answer in Akeya's eyes.

"Did I say yes?"

"You know what, Akeya? No matter how ruthless Karp is, I'm much better off than when I was on the run, at least I don't have to worry all day long, and I can sleep peacefully. Under the protection of others, I was given a relatively stable life for the first time. ”

"That's why you can't get off the killer, and you can't leave the colonel."

"Yes, so after leaving Karp, I went to find another shelter, the only family in the Dynick family that could tolerate the existence of half-bloods, the Will family."

"If you don't do that, you can't live? Can't you rely on your own efforts to win over like-minded partners and create a living space? ”

"You realize that, right? People like you and me, after all, are all shadows, and they can only hide in the shelter of some people forever, and they can't face the sun. Our past is distorted, and it prevents us from becoming normal again. You're just lucky. ”

"Then why can't you? You give up before you even try! ”

"Impossible, I'm already ...... Cereya"

"Don't take your sister out to talk about it at every turn!"

Akeya drank sharply, and Leon couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Do you have a woman worth protecting, but you want to let it go yourself? If you die, what will Cereya do? ”

"I've done everything I could!"

"Looks like you don't get it at all, Leon!"

With a saber in his left hand and a pistol in his right hand, Akeya showed his true fighting stance. NS seemed to know that the next blow was the decisive blow, and it let out a low engine sound like an engine accompanied by a bright light.

"I'll wake you up right now!"

"It's time to wake up in the middle of the day, Akeya!"

Giving each other harsh words, the two bumped into each other again, but they were somewhat powerless. The saber and dagger are already at the end of their crossbows, and the two of them are fighting hard to keep their offense and defense in rhythm and not fall into chaos. At this time, any small mistake will expand into a complete defeat.

However, Leon secretly used his brain, and his eyes were aimed at the hand on Akeya's waist from time to time^Ray. Although Akeya took out his hand ^ray while chattering, Leon did not let go of this detail.

It was Jed's drunken mantra when he triumphantly said that Akya had used a killer trick of his own making. Attract the opponent's attention with a feint, and then throw a shot^ thunder or flash bullet to quickly explode and suppress the opponent. The speaker had no intention of hearing the heart, and Leon secretly wrote it down.

This set of actions was done in one go, and now the speed of the two is comparable, if you are deceived by Akya's feints, even if you know that there is fraud, you will not have time to deal with it. So, Leon was engrossed in his every move, paying attention to Akeya's every move. Even if you reduce the frequency of your attacks because of this, it doesn't matter, Akeya will definitely use this move to decide the winner, as long as she seizes the opportunity, she can make a move.

After patiently confronting each other for more than three minutes, the opportunity that Leon had been waiting for finally came.

With a hard fight, the two of them retreated, and the distance was opened a lot. Without hesitation, Akeya took out his saber and flew towards Leon. Leon saw the saber's track and dodged sideways, but his eyes were not attracted to the saber, but to the hand where Akya threw the saber.

Sure enough, that hand had already taken off the hand ^ thunder and had just thrown it out!

Leon didn't care about the hand ^ Lei at all, because Akeya's move had become inertia, and he would definitely draw his gun and aim at the hand ^ Lei next, and he would not be able to defend at all. As long as you rush up and get close, you can cut as much as you want.

So he sprinted, shortening the distance to less than two meters, and the dagger followed in a straight stabbing stance, trying to use acceleration to deal a fatal blow to Akeya. At this time, Akya just raised his gun to aim at the hand ^Ray!

"Got it, Arkya!"

"Heh......"

Leon, who was about to stab the dagger, only felt something hit his stomach, and the pain was terrible, and his body stopped. I looked at it and was dumbfounded—it was Akya's pistol!

"What is this?"

"Hand ^ Thunder is empty."

Akya immediately withdrew the pistol's magazine, and the light of the NS gathered on the gun. He took a step with his left foot, his teeth clenched.

"It's over, Leon!"

As the trigger was pulled, the high-intensity EXP condensed in the body of the gun burst out from the small space of the muzzle and crashed into Leon's body. This shot is not trivial, although NS can defend against EXP, but the huge shock of energy collision is difficult to alleviate. The impact of the zero-distance shot, which entered from the abdomen and squirted out from the back, made Leon feel as if he had been punched through his body!

"Black Bullet ......"

One shot, two shots, three shots, Akya, who was holding the pistol, kicked on the ground with both feet, and used the force like climbing to relieve the reaction force of the pistol. After three shots, Akeya slammed his right foot on the ground, and his right hand holding the gun pushed it out, as if he wanted to shoot all the energy, and blasted out the last shot!

“…… Explosion - Breaking ——!! ”

"Woo!"

The EXP shot from the muzzle of the gun turned into an invisible iron fist, and forcibly blew Leon more than ten meters away, crashing into the tree, and even the tree shook a few times. The internal organs in Leon's stomach seemed to have jumped out of place, and the huge pain that stirred it up made him break out in a cold sweat and spit out twice.

When he recovered a little, he realized that something even worse. After the NS was pierced by the impact just now, it couldn't function normally, and the feeling of being "clothed" in EXP was gone. He lost his greatest weapon, couldn't even get up, and had to collapse under the roots.

He was defeated, holding his stomach, unwilling.

"Ahem...... You, know I'm going to ......"

"I know by looking at my eyes that you know my habits, so you will do it. Next ......"

Akya stepped forward in three steps and two steps, pulled out a new magazine and slipped it into his gun, and with a click, aimed it at Leon's head.

Bang –
