Chapter 67: Fox Hunting part 2

Since you are the leader of this small-time gang, I was really looking forward to meeting you. -One of the three girls in front of Alexander began to speak.

-For a leader I’m pretty late, his gang has been fighting with ours for more than an hour, either he trusts his team too much or he’s a coward. -Another of the girls follows her partner and also speaks.

-You know, I have never fought against a girl, I would like you to surrender right now. -Alexander looked seriously at the girls while he was talking, he really didn’t want to hurt any of them.

-Hahaha, are you seriously worrying about us? Don’t make me laugh honey, do you even know who we are? -The last girl of the trio approaches Alexander while teasing him. -We are…

Before the girl finished her sentence one of her companions approaches Eva and Alan ready to attack.

[You are using the combat skill: Lend it to me for a while].

[You are using Felix’s taekwondo].

But before the girl could attack Alexander throws a kick which she dodged without much trouble. -Alan, can you walk?

-Yes I can. -Alan responds instantly.

-Take Eva away from here, I’ll take care of this little group.

[An additional mission has been added to the imperial mission: Fox hunting]

(An additional mission just now? I think I know what it’s about) -Alexander not at all surprised by the system window which gives him a new mission.

[Mission added:]

[Cerberus hell guards:]-[A king must prove his worth even in the darkest places, for that he must take down one of his worst enemies. To complete this mission you must defeat the trio of executives of the Black Foxes known as cerberus. This trio has the executives 8, 7 and 6 of the Black Foxes, if you manage to defeat it will be added to your main mission]].

[Executives defeated: 9/17]

[Cerberus heads defeated: 0/3]

-Wow, looks like he has confidence in himself, I mean he was going to take care of us. -One of the girls spoke as she drew her dagger. -Do you think we should have fun with him? -Asked the girls to their two companions while she had a psycho look on her face.

-Finally you make some sense Amelia, if we defeat the leader of this gang maybe we’ll rank up, who knows we could be rank 3, 4, and 5 in the future. -One of the companions smiles while taking out two knives.

-Before thinking about rewards, let’s think about the combat we have in front of us. -The most mature of the three spoke while showing her nails, which had some kind of steel tips.

-I see that you are not going to portray yourselves, well, they will be useful for me to test my new abilities. -With a serious look Alexander ended the talk and lashed out at the girls.

(I can’t waste any more time here, I must win and go for the next target) -With haste in his movements Alexander approached one of the girls to throw several kicks (Well first the one with the knives).

(You have lost 5% health)

(What the hell?) -But as soon as he raised his leg to attack it was cut by the dagger of one of them. -You really went to focus on one? Don’t make me laugh. -The girl flashed a mischievous smile at Alexander.

(Shit, it’s pretty fast, let’s see how much of a difference it makes) -Alexander moves away from the girls and decides to focus on the girl who attacked him.

[You are using the Observe skill]

[Amelia Wilson]-[Group: Black Foxes/Cerberus]-[Enemy]-[Unique Ability: Three-headed dog]

[Stats: Strength Rank C: 75 points, Intelligence Rank C: 71 points, Speed Rank SS-: 370 points, Defense Rank D: 35 points, Constitution Rank A: 200 points, Social Rank C: 72 points]

(I see, it was obvious that they would be strong after all they are executives) -Alexander who was thinking what to do is interrupted by an attack, which comes from behind.

[You have dodged the attack]

-That’s weird, normally that doesn’t happen -The girl spoke while cleaning her metal nails. -I mean, they always die, when I attack them by surprise.

(Shit, I dodged it by the skin of my teeth, what the hell was it supposed to do, I didn’t notice it was behind me). -Alexander looked at the girl very surprised.

[You are using the skill: Observe]

[ Nancy Anderson ]-[Group: Black Foxes/Cerberus]-[Enemy]-[Unique Ability: Three-Headed Dog].

[Stats: Strength Rank SS-: 367 points, Intelligence Rank SS-: 399 points, Speed Rank C: 75 points, Defense Rank C: 77 points, Constitution Rank B: 125 points, Social Rank A: 207 points]

[Additional skills: Stealth]

(Stealth, what kind of skill will that be?)

[Combat skill: Stealth]-[The best traps are the ones that are not visible to the naked eye. When using this skill the user loses all his defensive points, but acquires a new statistic called camouflage, the higher this statistic is the more unnoticed the user will be]

(I see, this is the level of the Black Foxes' executives, but I can still win) -After organizing his ideas Alexander goes back to attack the girls this time with a plan in mind.

(First I need more speed, but I can’t use runner, so…)

-Gloton. -As soon as I say his name Alexander’s faithful companion comes out to help.

[You used the item: Water of speed]

[You used the item: Water of speed]

[You used the item: Water of speed]

(It was a good idea to buy several on the way here, you shouldn't have any problems with the fastest one of them all) -Setting his target on Amelia, Alexander was preparing to attack her.

-Wow, are you angry because of the cut earlier? If you want I’ll take you to sleep and you won’t suffer anymore. -The girl with a smile was waiting for her rival with a combat stance.

(Well, if I attack this one then...) -As if reading the future, Alexander turns his body to meet the girl with the knives. -You are going to attack.

[You have used the skill: Skill Wizard.]

[Choose the skills you want to merge].

-You're smarter than I thought, Nancy, help. -The member of the Black Foxes puts her knives on the defensive against any attack from Alexander.

[Irene Jones ]-[Group: Black Foxes/Cerberus]-[Enemy]-[Unique ability: Three-headed dog].

[Stats: Strength Rank B: 135 points, Intelligence Rank A: 207 points, Speed Rank C: 65 points, Defense Rank B: 140 points, Constitution Rank B: 132 points, Social Rank A: 203 points]

[Special Abilities:]-[Poison Master, Paralysis Master, Burn Master].

-Why don’t you save the praise for later?

[You’ve chosen the skills:]-[Knockout Points+Counter Strike]

[Creating new skill…]

Alexander lifts his leg ready to kick the girl, but instantly the third of them arrived. (Well let’s try it…)

[You have used the Combat Skill: Feint]

But, to the surprise of the girls Alexander’s kick never arrived, as a punch was directed at one of them, so that Alexander then took distance.

[The enemy has lost 3% speed]

-Looking at their faces it seems they didn’t like it. -Alexander sneered at the girls as he saw his new skill.

[Combat Skill: Feint]-[Hey I thought you were going to do that…. A king must master the art of deception. By using this skill you can make a fake attack which your enemies won’t be able to notice. If the real attack hits the enemy it will lower a percentage of his highest stat he has. If you use this skill too much against an enemy it will have less effect on him]-[Skill level: One, Mana required: 400 per hit, Skill mastery: Beginner].

-Are you really proud of yourself for a single hit? I think you should get your feet back on the ground, don’t you girls? -Showing a devilish grin the three girls changed positions, it seems the warm-up is over.

-I hope they don’t bore me. -Alexander adjusts his leader’s coat and prepares for combat, the greeting from before had come to an end.

***

-May I ask what you are doing here? -Sophia looked at the duo coming from Heros, she couldn’t trust them.

(Maybe they came to take advantage of this attack to attack us or something worse, maybe they are working together with the Black Foxes) -Sophia’s doubts were eating her up inside as she looked at the duo.

-Hey, don’t talk to us like that, we came to help. -Gerard tries to approach Sophia, but she is still wary and moves away from him. -Well… You see, I’m here because one of my members is here. -Somewhat embarrassed, Gerard spoke.

-One of your members? You mean Laura? -Sophia could understand what this was all about and asked without fear.

-Exactly, she called me and asked me for help, so I decided to come together with her. -Gerard points to the girl who, unlike his partner, has a serious face.

(I see, Laura thought well enough to ask for help after all the more help the better, but before…) -I need to see your call history and confirm that what you say is true. -Sophia still with distrust makes this request to the leader of Heros.

-Since when can a second in command ask things to a leader? -But, to the surprise of both, the Heros girl spoke. -You think we would come here to take advantage? Don’t make me laugh. -The girl kept talking while looking at Sophia with a look of few friends.

-Hey, there’s no reason to fight, look. -To calm the troubled waters Gerard decides to show Sophia the call history confirming his story.

-… Well, let’s go then, there’s no time to lose. -Sophia, a bit angry, decides to take the lead. (Huh? What’s going on?) -But is instantly stopped by her phone which starts ringing.

{Hello Sophia, glad you answered quickly}

-Richard, what’s wrong? -The speaker was Richard who was panting on the other end.

{I’ll send you my location, I need help, I’m currently hiding}

-Hiding? From whom? -{Concerned about her friend Sophia asks somewhat nervously.

{He, the third in command of the Black Foxes}
