Chapter 70: Fox hunting part 5
-Shit, I was supposed to be with Eva and Alan, but I’ve never walked this terrain before, I’m completely lost. -The war against the Black Foxes had started an hour and a half ago, every member of Imperial was doing what they could to survive and Charles was no exception.
(What should I do? I should call someone on the team, but no one answers) -After Charles declared his bad luck as if it was a gift from the gods, his phone starts making noise.
{-Hello, Charles is that you?} -The voice that could be heard was Sophia Bromck. -Sophia thank goodness you called! I’m fine, I’ll pass you my location right away.
Excited about his luck, the boy used a feature on his phone to send Sophia his location. -There you go, where should I wait for you? -asked the boy enthusiastically.
{Wait, Charles… You’re in the west, that’s the opposite of where we’re going, you’ll have to take care of it on your own for a few minutes while I send someone}.
But to put an end to the boy’s smile, Sophia explains the situation to him, apparently the help Charles wanted would last longer than he thought.
-Are you really going to leave me alone in this area? At least tell me how to get back to the main base. -The boy complains to Sophia, leaving him alone is declaring his death.
{-It’s not my fault you get lost asshole, sorry Charles, but we have an emergency, I’ll see if I’ll send someone to help you}
{-After saying those words, Sophia ends the call leaving Charles alone. (Shit, what am I supposed to do now? I think the best thing to do would be to hide) -With a new plan in mind, Charles decides to enter one of the abandoned houses in the territory.
-Who the hell is in there? -But to his bad luck it seems that someone thought of that idea first, and speaks to Charles from the shadows. -Hello, I’m Charles from Imperial, I’m known as the devourer of worlds.
In a way to intimidate the person Charles makes up a lie. -Hahaha, it’s you Charles, don’t worry it’s me Laura. -Mocking the boy, Laura comes out of the shadows revealing her identity.
-Ah, it’s you Miss Laura, sorry the character from before needed a way to run away. -With some embarrassment on his face Charles confessed to the girl.
-Take it easy, I won’t tell anyone, you can hide here if you want. -Keeping the boy’s secret safe, the girl invited him to rest. -Thank you very much Miss Laura, but what are you doing here, are you lost too?
Feeling safer, Charles asked the girl, as he understood, Laura would be somewhere else. -No, I am here for other reasons, I am waiting for someone. -After saying those words, the girl looked out of the window.
-And it seems that someone has already arrived. -Laura's face instantly changes from friendly and gentle to cold and full of resentment. -Wait a second, Miss Laura, isn't that executive number 4 of the Black Foxes?
Interested in the person, Charles decides to go to the window and gets a surprise. "Yes, I already exchanged blows with him once, but I was too tired, that's why I decided to run away and rest, but now..." The girl holds her broken wooden sword and then goes out the window.
-I'm going to kill him. -With a murderous expression on her face, Laura runs after the boy, she has to kill him to fulfill her revenge.
-Hey son of a bitch, it looks like you’ve come to your death! -Fixing her gaze on the boy, Laura runs after him.
-Shit, you’re too noisy, girl. -But as soon as she approaches the man, he speaks to her. -I thought you ran away. -With a face of disgust, the man speaks to Laura.
-Running away and leaving you alive? I don’t think that’s funny, you bastard. -Without wanting to continue with the conversation, Laura attacks the man throwing several cuts at him.
[Laura Adams is using her ability: Crimson Assassin.]
[Bloodlust 10%]
With fury on her face the girl throws several slashes at the man, but none were successful, she could even keep up with the girl without any problems. -You are very annoying, in fact all fights are annoying.
Angry the man throws several kicks at the girl, the level of experience was too different. -I hate having to fight, I joined the Black Foxes to make money, not for this shit.
-Shut the fucker up! -Laura’s movements changed to a synergy of footwork and lunges which penetrated the man’s defense. -You’re a good fighter, but….
The executive in defense holds the girl, and throws her to the ground, his level of speed was such that the girl could not react.

-Shit, why don’t you shut up you bastard, you talk too much. -Laura gets up instantly to try to hit the man again.
[Bloodlust 15%]
With more anger than before, Laura throws different slashes at the man, cutting him several times.
-Hey, your punches are getting faster and more dangerous, you’re a dangerous girl, I can’t let you live. -The executive of the Black Foxes feels the pressure of Laura’s blows and decides to finish her once and for all, so he throws a direct blow to her jaw.
-Don’t do it! -But to the surprise of both of them, the blow is interrupted by a stone thrown by Charles from a distance.
-Who the hell are you? Shit, I'll tell Victor to never get into a fight again, he's so annoying. “I don't really like fights,” the Black Foxes executive said to see Charles.
-I am Charles from Imperial, I am known as the devourer of worlds. -Showing little confidence in his face, Charles tried to intimidate the man, who noticed Charles' fallacy.
-Boy, you’d better leave, I’d already have too much trouble with the girl and you don’t bring anything to the table. -After saying this, the man looked for Laura, but she had already disappeared.
[Bloodlust 25%]
But surprisingly, a surprise attack from behind is launched by Laura, which the man manages to dodge by the skin of his teeth. -What the fuck are you supposed to be? -The executive asks the girl, if that slash had hit her she could have died.
-Hey Charles, I think you should get away and leave. -With a murderous look, Laura gives an order to the imperial member.
-What? I can’t leave you here alone. -Charles was trying to justify himself, although his words are worthy of a hero he really didn’t want to be alone again.
-And what the fuck are you supposed to do, you bastard? You’ll just be a nuisance. -With fury in her eyes, Laura once again lashes out at the Black Foxes executive.
-I must take this fight more seriously, this girl is dangerous. -Knowing what was coming, the Black Foxes executive took distance from the girl to throw several kicks in her face.
-Shit, how many things can you do, you bastard? -The girl throws a lunge at the man, pushing him away.
(Shit, I’m getting tired, my lungs are barely ok) -Laura holds her sword with weakness, the fight had been foreseen more than necessary and her body was reaching its limit.
(But I can’t give up) -Laura looked at the man with fury.
[One of your allies know no limits.]
[Laura Adams' constitution points are about to be activated]
-Let’s end this once and for all. -The Black’s executive lunges at the girl, but to the surprise of both a surprise kick comes in the middle.
[The ally’s constitution points will be blocked.]
-You were mocking me, weren’t you. -The person who performed the attack spoke.
[(This is the best I can do for you Charles don’t waste it)] -Alexander thanks to his ability watched Laura and Charles' combat and decides to intervene.
-I am Charles from Imperial, better known as the devourer of worlds.
[You have used 100 points of equipment in Charles mm]

-Shit, can you really keep fighting? -The person who spoke was Laura, who looked at Charles astonished, she thought he was a wimp.
-Don’t worry blue lady, I’ll take care of it. -Charles with an arrogant look put himself in front of Laura to protect her.
-Shit, that’s why I hate these stupid things, come on, let’s go on. -The Black Foxes executive complains as he approaches the duo.
-Yeah, I don’t believe that. -As soon as the man invited the duo to fight Laura lashes out she was sick of this fight.
[Bloodlust 40%]
-Ready to kill her rival the girl throws several thrusts which cut the man’s defense. -But although Laura’s cuts were annoying, the executive of the Black Foxes didn’t lose his calm and threw a blow to the girl.
-No, I’ve got you. -With a smile Charles stopped the man’s blow giving Laura a free way to attack.
-Good riddance, Mr. Boring.
[Bloodlust 50%]
With a killer look Laura makes a perfect cut on the man, it seems that this fight already has the winning group.
[Critical Hit]
-Shit. -The man fell to the ground, it looks like this will be the end of him. -Hey, are you really going to kill him? -Charles asked the girl to see the look in her eyes.
-Don’t ask unnecessary questions. -With a dark look, Laura raises her sword and then drops it towards the man.
[Critical Hit]
[Congratulations]
[An ally has permanently defeated a mid-boss]
[Executives defeated: 14/17]
-Come on, we must continue, this is a war. -Laura gives an order to Charles who looked at her with fear, it seems that the sweet and pretty girl has another side.
***
-Sir, you shouldn’t see this. -Elsewhere in the field, the second in command of the Black Foxes spoke, apparently they had just arrived.
-No, calm down Alan, I must see my men even if they are dead. -Victor approaches to see the lifeless body of Raul, the number 9 executive of the Black Foxes.
-It seems that stealing his territory was not enough. -The leader of the Black Foxes hits a wall, leaving a big crack in it.
-Let’s kill him!
