Chapter 185: Send Help
"Seriously! What the fuck are you!?"
SLAM!!
Mark slammed into the killer and took them both through the wall behind him and into another room! The killer grit his teeth and launched himself away from Mark; he rolled to a stop and reached behind him to grab more grenades!
There was nothing there.
Fuck.
The killer immediately grabbed two guns from the holsters on his thighs and aimed them at Mark's head as he watched Mark slowly get to his feet.
The killer was breathing heavily, and there was a bead of sweat coming down the side of his head, but he was still perfectly calm, and there was a cold and calculative look in his gaze as he looked around him and tried to find the best possible way to handle this situation!
Mark finally stood up to his full height, and the killer had to admit that Mark had a very impressive build. The killer knew that Mark was only eighteen years old, but his body would fool anyone into thinking that he was a twenty-three year old man. How the fuck is he so tall? Is that a byproduct of his blessing?
And what exactly is his blessing?
The superhuman killer had never been so confused while fighting against someone in his life. At first, everyone thought that GHOST's blessing was raw strength. He always exhibited an intense amount of raw power during his fights so that was most likely his blessing.
No one knew his patron god since he refused to disclose it, so they could only speculate that he might have been blessed by someone like Ares, the god of war. But the killer had to throw that possibility out the window after what happened with that sniper bullet that he shot first. Mark was able to dodge it with such precision that it almost seemed like an automatic reaction or something.
There was no wasted movement when he dodged it, and the killer knew that no amount of training could give you something like that. It had to be the result of a blessing.
The killer thought that Mark's blessing was advanced instincts after that. Maybe Mark was blessed with good instincts, and he only built up his strength and used his instincts to avoid getting seriously injured in fights. That would mean that Mark was blessed by someone like Artemis, the goddess of the hunt.
All the superhumans that were blessed by Artemis have improved instincts since Artemis was the goddess of hunting.
But then that was dashed away again after the brief confrontation that they just had. Mark was able to find him even when he was hiding perfectly. How was Mark able to do that? Was there something else about his blessing that I don't know about? Strength, instincts, and another hidden blessing that I cannot even begin to understand.
Just what are you, GHOST?
Can anyone even call you human anymore?
"It's been a while since I've had to chase down someone like this. It almost makes me nostalgic."
Mark suddenly spoke up from the other side of the room, and the killer kept his eyes on him while glancing around to see if there was any escape route that he could take. He could just jump out from the window at the side, but that would only put him into another world of trouble since he would have to fight his way through a swarm of reporters and superhumans.
Even now he could still hear the shouts of the superhumans patrolling the area from all the way up here.
"There's nowhere for you to run, killer. Just give it up. I haven't killed a person before, not intentionally, at least. But just for you, I'll make an exception."
Bang!
Bam!
Mark and the killer suddenly entered into a fierce fight as they tried to get one up on the other! The killer used everything that he had ever learned to try and get Mark to retreat! He would block using his black exoskeleton and then release a bullet right at Mark's face or heart!
Mark, on the other hand, was just railing on the killer with massive punches that would have killed any S rank! Mark was shocked by how well the killer was able to shoot at him while still moving his body around to protect against the punches! Mark knew that the killer did not have a lot of strength.
He was probably only a B rank, but the killer had a perfect understanding of his blessing, and he could use it brilliantly to block all of Mark's attacks effortlessly!
If they weren't trying to kill each other, then Mark would have asked how the fuck he was able to do that!
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
The killer dodged a punch from Mark and raised his gun up to point it at Mark's chin!
Bang!
Mark barely moved his head back to dodge the bullet before he slammed his foot into the ground and sent a massive swing into the killer's side! The killer tucked his arm in and coated his bicep in his exoskeleton before he slammed his feet into Mark's chest and retreated at the same moment that the attack hit!
SLAM!!
In the air, he contorted his body to face Mark and then released another three bullets into Mark's face!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Mark dodged around the bullets and charged for the killer, but the killer used the moment when Mark dodged to pull out a new cartridge from behind him and replace the empty one in the gun! He then made a call out as he turned and ran!
"I need help! Now!"
On the other end of the call, there was no answer for some time, and the killer thought that the person would not talk at all, but after some time, the person finally spoke up.
[... your face is on TV. You're quite popular now.]
Crash!
The killer crashed through a windowpane and landed in another office in a perfect roll, he got to his feet in one motion and he bolted as he heard Mark break through the wall to chase after him!
