The Degree
The Unexpected Emergence

Ray took a deep breath and looked at the still dark sky. But he was sure it would only take a few more hours for the morning to sweep through the night.

“Huh~ ... first experience kill a person called friend.”

There is nothing special to feel. It feels the same as when killing in general. It's not what Ray expected. He thought that when killing people who had been with him for a long time, it would cause a feeling of guilt or sadness in his heart.

But that doesn't exist at all. Ray began to wonder if he still had a heart?

“Or rather, since when is everything like this?” human Ray before turning his attention to the other side.

Roid and Eric's fight continues but the victory is clear who will get it. Eric had received fatal blows at fatal points such as the jaw, stomach and shin.

He could barely stand up properly, staggered like a person in high alcohol influence.

“I don't have to doubt Roid if it's a hand-to-hand fight,” Ray murmured while nodding his head.

‘But this bastard is not stupid. I can't betray him if I don't want anything troublesome to show up.’

Ray knew very well that Roid's subordinates were very loyal to him. If they knew Roid was killed by Ray, then it was likely that they would cause chaos. They are hard time bombs to deal with.

Claps! Claps! Claps!

Clapping someone's hands reached his ears, Ray found someone walking towards him casually. His handsome face was no longer covered in a mask and a smile appeared on his lips.

“Outstanding .. you do it without doubt or guilt. Quite the contrary, you look disappointed in something, Ray Morgan.”

Ray frowned as soon as he found the man coming towards him. He kept a definite distance in anticipation.

“What do you want?” ray asked, he did not want to talk to the man in front of him right now.

Time continued to run, the current condition did not allow him to waste his time.

“There is no special thing. I've made the choice to watch all this through to the end. Until someone gets the golden key.”

The golden key, to complete all Secret tasks, Ray needs a golden key to get the puzzle.

With Leo killed, the last key is in his hands. Ray is ready to exchange all five keys for one golden key to get the final puzzle.

“Otherwhat are you waiting for? You can do it now and don't worry I'm interrupting.”

Ray remained silent without giving an answer. He looked at the man in front of him suspiciously. Naturally, trying to read the man's intentions was the main reason.

At that moment, Ray could hear the gun being fired. Before long footsteps rang out and stood by his side. That person was Roid who had already finished his fight.

Although battered in several places, Roid did not seem to lose his balance despite panting. She looked at Ray and the other man who were staring curiously.

“Who ... the man?” ask Roid.

“Eyes Secret,” said Ray as if it was something very clear. “Ryouma Hisatsu.”

Roid immediately gasped and looked out for Ryouma. However, Ryouma is a famous Degree user when Rebellion is still standing.

“Kuku ... What's the matter Ray? Why are you just silent?” ask Ryouma once more.

Ray still has no answer. Although ending the task can be done right now, but Ray refused to do it.

“There are still things to do.”

Ryouma raised his eyebrows, “And what is it?”

Ray had thought of various things at this moment. One of them was that he believed that even if the task had been completed, this mess would not be over soon.

*****

“What are you doing? Get away from here!”

“Quargh!”

Shouts, warning shots to tear gas soon collaborated creating even greater chaos. Starting from the demonstrations that entered the evacuation site and made curious civilians enter it.

Sure, the media people are not left behind to make news of the current mess. Thanks to that all the soldiers became very troubled.

Although many began to flee due to warning shots and tear gas, some rebelled by throwing back tear gas.

“Stay alert! There are intruders among civilians and demonstrators!”

The problem is not solved by the chaos of the demo, but the Degree users who blend in between them and kill the soldiers.

Arthur received a tremendous headache when he got the report. He started kicking the tent beside him until it collapsed.

“Sial! Why did everything happen at the same time?!”

Rescuing Marshal Ardianto was a top priority, but the appearance of the demonstration ridden by Ray messed things up. Right now he had sent Mona and the others to settle the matter.

Thinking that being done with it is in fact negligence. Another problem arose soon after.

“Commander! The ******* it started their attack!”

“The captives looked abandoned inside monas— no. They were transported by vehicle and intend to leave this place!”

“And also ..” the soldier stopped talking, it made Arthur's anger explode.

“What else?! Fast talk!”

The soldier flinched and relayed the information left behind, “Y-ya! The big man seemed to be moving alone with the Marshal. The man gave a message for you to meet him!”

Arthur immediately understood who the big man meant. There is only one person who deserves the title of big man. That person was Maa Dong Wok. Right now his actions were difficult for Arthur to understand.

‘There's no way he wants a duel with me, right?’

That would be strange, pretty stupid. If Arthur becomes them, then escaping immediately is a priority. Making such a duel challenge now was the same as throwing away their chance to escape.

‘What is the purpose of this bastard actually? Could it be for the key?’

Arthur almost forgot Secret's last assignment because all this mess really gave him a headache.

Surely there was no way that Jung Haiyan and Maa Dong Wok would leave the opportunity to complete the task. Collect five keys to get the golden key and also the final puzzle.

“What should we do, commander?” ask the soldier who looked at Arthur with worry.

Arthur did not look at the soldier at all and only focused on his thoughts. There are some things that will be a problem but by killing Maa Dong Wok, there is a possibility that******* will start to split.

One strategy in warfare, however, is to crush the head so that the other body will begin to die a step.

“For the time being I will hand over the command to someone else. I'll go save Marshal Ardianto alone.”

“What? Alone?” the soldier could not stop worrying. “What's the problem? There is a possibility it is a trap, commander!”

That's not wrong at all. Arthur knew that there was a high chance that Maa Dong Wok set up a trap for him. The right choice is to go alone.

“It is precisely because it is myself enough because there will not be much loss if it is a true trap. Besides that—”

The soldiers obviously did not know about the Degree, they only knew that there were special humans. That is the safe limit to uncover about the existence of humans with superhuman abilities.

Arthur can't say Degree will save him from that soldier. That's why he changed his sentence.

“—I believe in my luck.”
