☠BAB 79 Disguised Chameleon
Orion was silent and looked at him in confusion.
“Mahanta, what are you talking about?” orion asked confusedly.
Mahanta fell silent and was confused by it. Not knowing what Orion meant, Mahanta spontaneously reversed the question.
“What am I talking about? It seems you're the weird one, Orion. I should have asked why you're like this?”
Orion then looked back, looked at Erik and immediately shook his head. Erik knew very well what Orion's glance meant, because Orion suspected him of having most likely used his powers on them.
If Erik wasn't. Then who?
The drap! The drap!
Orion ran out of the cafe. The only person who did this, there was one person who was seethed in his mind.
“Chameleon!”
People who can change the form, whether as objects or animals and even the appearance of humans can he change as he pleases. If true, the previous Mahanta is Chameleon.
“Where did it go?! Oh, geez. This is so bad. It's been trapped inside and now I'm losing it. But ...why? Why didn't I realize it?”
His heart was pounding, his breathing was heavy as he continued to run around the cafe. But none he found.
“I just didn't realize it. The blood that always made me move unconsciously did not react at all. Did he not plan to kill me? Who has been trying to pry info about him.”
***
Somewhere, far away from the cafe.
There were two people, one man with one woman talking. Both are not the same expression, it is inversely proportional.
The woman with her face has a scratch, Sima. It was Caraka's subordinate. But the man was neither Caraka nor anyone else Orion knew.
“That boy, his name is Orion Sadawira, yes. I thought who and it turned out to be just a little boy who wants a lot.” The man smiled faintly.
“I will do anything, including taking care of the child. Should I do it?” Sima asked by lowering her head.
“Ya, or maybe not?”
He cleared his throat, glanced back, and then laughed a little. Sima simply fell silent waiting for the order from the man. You may be wondering what this guy is really thinking until he laughs.
The look on his face was very happy, the corner of his eyes decreased by showing a slightly sharp look.
“Actually I would love to interact with the Fire Child for even longer, but the situation is not possible. Plus, pretending to be a nice guy doesn't suit me,” he looked back at Sima.
“That boy once fought Mr. Caraka. Although the strength is not much, but it may be dangerous for the future.”
“Oh yes? Then when he fought your Master, how did he do it?” ask the man.
Sima replied, “At first he didn't care so much that he would leave if Mr. Caraka let him. But after Mr. Caraka attacked him, he became more vigilant and maybe he was the type of person who always thought ahead to overcome problems.”
“The child is like an adult only. His rise may have been influenced by the surrounding environment. I became more and more interested in him,” he said while smiling again.
“However, should I let it?” sima asked, looking disappointed.
“If you feel unfair with him, just do it all you want.”
“Not so I mean. The boy had fought Mr. Caraka but the result of the fight ended because Mr. Caraka lost because the City Hero and Miss Arutala came,” he explained enthusiastically.
“Wah, he got a lot of help,” said the man who was a little surprised but thought that it was natural.
“Your master is too ambitious. Fighting Miss Arutala alone could not let alone the City Hero. Basic,” grunty.
“Do whatever you want. But I suggest, kill the Fire Child whom Miss Arutala loved dearly,”.
“Good, Mr. Chameleon.”

Orion's eyes looked for him everywhere, but found nothing at all. Instead he only heard a sound like when opening a zipper.
Orion looked back and then gasped as a small knife almost scratched his neck.
“Akh!”
Taps! Shocked he shouted, then stepped back by staring at him.
A woman named Sima. The last time they met was when they were in a big hospital, the place where Caraka was in power. And now come after him?
A knife that almost scratched Orion's neck was then lit up. There were every gray scratches appearing on the handle as well as the blade itself. Sima missed his first attack.
“It was a coincidence, next time it won't be like before.”
Cruak!
And it's true what Sima said. As soon as he darted again, Sima swung the knife quickly and was able to injure Orion's face.
The wound was deep enough that blood kept coming out profusely. The pain spread to make his body shudder.
“Why are you after me?”
“No answer other than, "Destroy you!", here!”
A very aggressive woman, her words are like mechanical robots. However, that way Orion was no longer hesitant and knew the intent of Sima's attack at that time.
“Now you're Chameleon again or not. But your strength is exactly the woman who took Caraka,”, Orion said.
Both short sword blades appeared on both of his arms. He crossed his arms and then stepped forward along with Sima.
Trang! The two weapons are combined. The sound made their ears ring for a moment, but attack after attack for the sake of penetrating each other's defenses continued to unfold.
Without pause, without a single crack. That was what was visible from Orion's two burning eyes.
Close range is impossible for Orion. Fighting Sima who uses a small knife should not be a problem.
“But it's so loud!” groused Orion.
Taps! Orion stepped back and made a considerable distance between them. Then Orion's sword blade also let out a fire in the blade of his sword.
Sima moved back first, he swung the weapon deftly and made the wound on top of Orion's wound open again.
Losing quickly was no problem for Orion. Because the thing he was after was when Sima approached again.
“Tracked,” murmured Orion.
The fire that was in the sword's eye instantly elongated and burned Sima's arm. The fire spread so fast that it hit his head.
“Orion!”
At the same time, Mahanta who heard the commotion came out. Running up to him then pulled Orion's body backwards.
Swosh!
Sima's body was pushed back when Mahanta let out the wind.
“Who are you?!” Mahanta asked with a loud shout.
