2023-04-20 18:35:31Nega had a bit of a hard time getting back home but he was still the first to arrive. He sat on his chair in the same room he had met Orie and the others and proceeded to get a smoke. He made sure his blunt was rolled perfectly and searched himself for a lighter but couldn't find any.
"Need a light?" A familiar voice said from the distance. He looked up to see someone he knew that he really needed at the moment.
'Philip Vaquero', arguably the greatest bounty hunter of his time with very few competition. With an almost perfect record, he made his way to the top spot in the bounty hunter world and what made him fearsome was that all his bounties were top tier and of the highest grade. So if Vaquero ever came for you, all you could do was hope that you were wanted alive.
Such a fearsome man stood in front of Nega and called him "BOSS" with a casual salute and he reciprocated with a casual "yo"
"You're quite early" Nega said as he reclined back on his chair
"Well boss" Phil replied
"I happened to be around the area" he said
"Also," he added
"A bunch of guys where outside looking you"
"It looked quite urgent, but I was able kindly tell them that you weren't around" he said with a grin.
"You killed them, didn't you?" Nega asked
"Well.." Phil replied
"They weren't listening"
"And also because they had guns" he added
"How many were they" Nega asked
"I think there were five of them in total" Phil answered.
"Alright" Nega said then almost immediately, Phil felt a ringing in his pocket. He checked his phone to see what it was and saw that fifty thousand dollars had been credited to his account.
"Hmm" Phil uttered with a smirk
"You really are a man of your word" he said, looking at Nega.
"Now let me get to work" he said as he made his way back through the door.
"Wait a sec" Nega said in haste
"I still haven't told you who you're going after" he added
"I already know who they are" Phil replied with a loud tone that expressed anger and resentment.
"They're Freeland special forces"
"The same guys that got to Matéo"
"Their death is my payment"
"Your bounty is just an added bonus" he said as he walked out of the room.
Not long before Phil left the room and came out of the lonely house in the middle of nowhere, he found himself in the running from gunshots and shooting back. Each one of his shots hit their intended targets but it was quite the opposite for the ones shooting at him.
"Special forces bastards" he said as he hid and reloaded his revolver.
"It's like the only thing they're good at is sneaking into places"
"Your sniper can't even get it right" he said as he came out and shot far into the distance. At first, the soldiers thought it was just an unlucky shot that missed but it wasn't long before someone on their comms yelled out "THE SNIPER IS DOWN!!, I REPEAT THE SNIPER IS DOWN!!"
On the other hand, A while back in the open field, commander Hughes tried his best to run from Orie but his weakened legs couldn't do much to create any distance between them.
Orie walked behind the terrified commander with an emotionless face of which the right half had become purely black with the markings of his death god. The same markings were on right side of his entire of his entire body and could be noticed because he had taken off all the clothing that covered the top half of his body. In his right hand, he held the the blade of Obgun'abali and with each step he took, the grass around him died.
"Whoa" Yamato exclaimed from the distance as he was warned to stay back.
The world was silent to Orie and he could hear nothing as he struck the heels of his target and broke them. He saw a terrified Hughes turn around and beg for mercy but he could not make out the words.
"The killer at night does not listen to the plea of the wicked" he said as he raised his machete and struck Hughes on the shoulder. The blade did not cut through but the strike was heavy and shattered every bone it came in contact with.
"A sharp blade is mercy" Orie said
"And mercy cannot be granted to the wicked man" he added as he struck another shoulder.
"You will not die until I'm done"
"And do not think think this is the worst of it"
"There is a whole lot more of this..."
"...IN HELL!!"
Hit after hit, Orie struck with the blunt blade at did not stop until his hands could no longer move and he let go of the machete which disappeared into thin air. The markings on his body cleared as he raised his head to look at the sky and he could finally hear what was happening around him.
"Mr. Addison" a familiar voice said from behind and he turned around to see Yamato coming towards him. All Orie could do was stare at Yamato and, he could not not utter a word.
Yamato could understand Orie's state of mind at the moment.
"Let's go back" he said as he pulled Orie away from the disfigured sight that could not even be called a corpse. Orie walked with him slowly and when they had covered some distance, Yamato washed all the blood from Orie's body and gave him clean clothes to wear.
"I'm sure they're waiting" he said as they walked away into the distance.
Meanwhile, Shiro seemed to have tracked where Mia was.
"I hope all that overthinking paid off" he said to himself as he walked through a hallway with many doors.
Within the time he spent pacing around, an idea came to Shiro. If he could track the residue of his energy that was left on Mia during their time together, then he had a chance of finding her. He tracked the energy to a large suspicious looking building and was currently walking across it's underground hallways.
He kept walking until at some point he felt something and stopped at one doors.
"The energy is stronger here" he said as he proceeded to open the door. He was right. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mia but she didn't look too happy to see him.
Before he could speak, she was right in front of him swinging her blade to strike.
"Maybe she's just being alert" he said to himself
"She's just on her guard, that's all" he thought. But he was very wrong.
"MIA!!" He yelled as kept dodging her strikes
"IT'S ME!!" He added but it was like she couldn't hear what he was saying, she just kept swinging her blade at him like she had the intent to kill him.
An ominous figure whatched it play through a screen in an unknown location.
"How will you get out of this?"
"You can't save yourself if you stay"
"You can't save her if you run"
"Can you bring yourself to attack someone you love?"
SHIN SEKAI SECRET: The blade of Obgun'abali has the ability to change it's level of sharpness depending on who or what it wants to cut.

Burn out
As soon as Ellie noticed there was something wrong with Orie, she signaled her crew to turn off their cameras. He had been mumbling for a while but soon the mumbling intensified. His eyes were heavy, his voice was inaudible, he could feel his consciousness fading but he kept on praying.He had thought that he had enough strength to keep up the prayer but his condition was worse than he had thought it was."I'm sorry" he said as he fell to his knees and went silent.As the paramedics were rushing to take Orie away the thing that he was trying to keep under control broke free and took over Natsumi.Kaen tried to call back his flames but they were sniffed out as soon as they came in. The mist was thick, it was cold and he could barely see what was in front of him. Icicles were coming at him from different angles and he could hardly evade any of them.He saw himself at a dead end. He could not see anything he could do that would cause him to win the match. He was tired, bleeding, aching a
Keeping cool
"Who should I fear more?" Kaen wondered"Is it the monster that makes me shudder""Or is it the vessel that contains it?"As Kaen prepared to engage his opponent, all that he could think of was the fear that he felt. He could not forget it.Not many remember it but there was once a great incident that took place in Fubuki island. It was an incident that almost claimed the lives of all who lived on the island.A great frost, so cold that no flame could resist, quickly spreading and freezing everything in its path. In the dark winter night when many slept, this frost came along to take their breath.Somehow, everyone woke up in their beds the next morning with no recollection of the past twelve hours. This event sparked many rumors and among them was the rumour that the residents died and were brought back, proponents of this rumor backed their claims by speculating a tragic event within the twelve hours period.That night came to be known as the night where men slept. The "silent night
I am here
"THE SIGNS DO NOT LIETHE TRUTH WILL NOT DIEAS TIME WILL GO BYWE WILL SAY OUR GOODBYESFOR THE TRUE PRIEST TO BE BORNTHE FALSE GODS WILL ALL DIE"Orie heard these words just before he woke up. He looked around in confusion, trying to figure out where he was. The last thing he could remember was that he was surrounded by dust in the arena.He looked at the nurse who seemed surprised for a reason and asked "how long have I been here?""F... Four days" the nurse answered nervously and Orie remain silent"We thought you were dead" she added"Who won?" Orie asked"What?" The nurse replied, still shaken up"My fight" Orie rephrased"Who won?""Well..." The nurse replied"The other guy was disqualified so...""... I guess you won""Oh" Orie said as he tried to get off from the bed but the but the nurse immediately moved to stop him."You just woke up sir" she said"We can't let you walk around till we know for sure that you're okay""I'm okay" Orie replied as he got down from the bed but
Still standing
Of the expectations that the people had, no one expected that a majority of the spectators would be okay with the outcome of the fight. They were sure that what they saw was real, they were sure that what they saw was fair, they were sure that the contestants gave it their all and they were sure that the winner deserved his victory.Even those who didn't support him in the beginning were cheering for him with all their heart, even those who lost their bets because of him rejoiced at the sight.There were many good fighters in the tournament, many who at the wave of their hands would cause marvelous sights but of all the fights in the tournament, Orie had shown them most invigorating.The cheers went on for a while until people in the crowd began to notice that the referee was yet to formally declare a winner. Soon they noticed that orie had not made a single movement since the clearing of the dust, he was still standing but he could not move.Though one person was on the floor while t
The bird and the beast
From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as h
The market day
"This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ
