"They weren't one of the participants there,"

"Great, what is their real purpose?"

"They were heading west, meaning towards Mikaela's route. Mikaela also headed to the 2nd mountain. What's the location of the disaster flower actually being there?"

"No. As far as I'm concerned they've only been targeting parasites that evolved for their lab."

"Ah, lest they go after..."

DEG! DEG!

There is another strong existence. It doesn't feel foreign, but it's weird for Mikaela. There was mixed blood coming from behind them. Both Edgar and Mikaela noticed it.

Surprisingly a sharp glint of light blinded Edgar's eyes. Suddenly Mikaela pulled him back, then held off the impact of the sharp object that wanted to hit Edgar just now with both guns.

Rabbit mask. The one who used the sword.

"'Rabbits'!?"

Already failing to attack, the 'Rabbits' instantly moved drifting backwards.

There's also 'Owl'.

What a great surprise for Mikaela. Edgar who was quite jolted was in great shock. After being pulled by Mikaela earlier, Edgar realized one scary thing from Mikaela. Mikaela's energy was too strong for the size of a skinny person like her. Even a great man like Edgar couldn't possibly have such a huge amount of energy. The plight feels like it wants to be removed by Mikaela. I don't know what monster is inside Mikaela.

"Well, what is this?" Mikaela asked, more precisely to 'Owl', the informer.

"This is the official letter of your arrest" said 'Owl' issuing a letter from his vest.

Sillier. Why is he that? Where there is a fugitive organization that gets an official letter.

"You have to come with us or die here. Choose one of them," clearly 'Owl' continued.

Mikaela instead chuckled crazily to hear him, "I chose to destroy the 'Castrous Flower'."

Mikaela sounded more relaxed than usual. Rather than being tense, Mikaela looked so pleased in her sharp face. In a different sense.

Edgar knew that. So, he would be prepared for the next possibility.

"Oh, that's a bad choice. Means you chose to die here," said 'Owl' starting to pull out his weapon.

Mikaela frowned slightly. Seriously? He also pulled out his weapon in doubt.

"You know I don't have much time for this. What if we were just allied. I'm sure you have another assignment in 'Castrop Flower'," Mikaela said carefully.

But, I don't know since when 'Owl' has shot the hat that Mikaela uses. That thing floated down.

There's no sound. Edgar was stunned for a moment to see him and suddenly turned his back to Mikaela.

"No I'm going to let-uhuk!"

Edgar's stomach was instantly shrouded in red liquid from there. Bloods. He was immediately shocked. Since when, he thought. The 'Owl' gun was completely silent.

"Ah, missed. Have my abilities been diminished, huh?" said 'Owl' flatly to Mikaela who was silent for a moment.

He's not going to help Edgar because it's not his responsibility. He also warned her not to protect him. However, there was a strange feeling of attacking him instantly. Very irritating feeling.

Manliness.

"It seems you want me to be serious after I give you the chance to change your choice" Mikaela was serious.

Yes, that figure is what Edgar often saw, not the one before. Edgar forced himself to stand up. He couldn't possibly be weak just one shot, right.

"No. I can still"

Edgar fell again. His eyes widened to see that his wound was not getting better. Anti-regneration bullets, huh? The masked girl really did.

Mikaela did not believe the 'Owl' action was so serious. The sniffer dog in front of him can't be dying right now. Edgar can't die here.

"Yes, I want your seriousness and honesty" 'Owl' calmly told Mikaela.

The officials have sent reinforcements. All participants were directed towards the 2nd mountain where 'Rabbits' and 'Owl' were headed. More precisely towards Mikaela and Edgar were.

Unfortunately, they have to face many obstacles. Many parasites appear when it gets dark. Whether where the location of the 'Disaster Flower' is actually, they have difficulty, there are even those who do not move from their position at all.

The dust of the pistil slowly disturbed the minds of the soldiers who guided the amateur forces. The situation became more severe after some participants were successfully preyed upon by parasites. That horrifying sight left many participants in heavy shock. There are also those who are traumatized and are not moving.

Until, one bright morning came. The wind burned the dust in the air mysteriously, revealing a blue sky that was originally difficult to see before was now clearly displayed.

What was? Some people realize their fears are gone. That means the source of the danger instinct. Everyone who is infected can feel it. Yes, everyone can also be so for those who are grateful to finally be able to see the blue sky after being in the field of hell.

"Snack."

Did they hear any air forces passing by and releasing atomic bombs into the 'Castrop Flower'? All the participants became so calm after their fatigue yesterday. This is what is called unwarranted relief. Nope. It's kind of a strong instinct.

Some people cry because they can live.

There's no danger. What the hell's been going on? They accidentally discover the carcass of their friends' predators lying around. Usually this happens because their mother, the 'Disaster Flower' stops releasing her pistil. In other words, 'The Flower of Disaster' is dead.

How could?

The owner of the dimple was astonished at the appearance of what was in front of him. The carcass of a giant flower scorched under the rising sun. No. gabe. More like under the people sitting there.

"Yeah, Anggelo. You've missed the important part."

Mikaela said that, it looked even more terrible with blood all over her body. Edgar looks the same. The difference is that he looks more closed his mouth. He looked towards Mikaela because Mikaela's right hand was missing.

I don't know what happened. Anggelo and his partner wondered how these two people could finish it all off. The far more numerous parasites were already split in two. Did edgar do it? Or there's someone else.

Basically they would think 'Rabbits' and 'Owl' would have helped Mikaela if only Angelo knew the two fugitives had come towards Mikaela before.

In Edgar's silence, he kept a million questions about Mikaela. Honestly, he didn't do anything. When he woke up, everything was already like this. The parasite's blood had washed over her where Mikaela had been sitting quietly on top of a giant crop that had been cut out.

Without Mikaela, she might be dead. In something else.

Mikaela finally got her first pawn. Edgar seemed very worried. It was as if he was willing to give his hand to Mikaela.

Their mission finally succeeded. Mikaela will go home and get the prize. Yeah, that's the part he's been waiting for the most rather than how he's going to connect his hands later. Or he wasn't expecting it anymore.

"What a-so cruel!"

"Just his hand. How, dong? He didn't want to go along with it," said 'Owl' sounding strange.

He held the piece of human hand limply, then let go of it falling on the floor. His blood spurted everywhere until it littered the floor.

The girl just cringed. How could he seem ordinary to see it? Moreover, it is the hands of living humans.

"Hey, was he like this?" The woman asked in heavy shock to the rabbit-masked man.

"Better."

Really a satisfying answer. At once it was hard to imagine how strange 'Owl' was today.

"But you cut it? Honestly, this is cruel."

"No," replied the rabbit mask flatly, not giving a clear reason.

"Eh? Then, who? 'Owl'?"

The one holding the sword of course cut it, right. Then why does he argue?

"'Rabbits' themselves cut it."

Whoa, what does that mean?
