Mark did not answer. His hand moved slowly to pick up the gun embedded in his belt. The movement should not be visible from the guide, but in fact the person has spoken first.
“I wouldn't have done it if I were you, Mark Hill. I will not hesitate to kill. A little different to the kid there,” he said while exchanging views with Alex.
Alex recognized the voice. “Naray?” guess it.
“Hai, Zetta Sonic!” The man pulled the mask and the hood came off.
Alex recognized the figure clearly. Tall men with pocky hair who were partially painted red. It was Naray. “But... But.. You—“.
“Mati?” Naray immediately laughed. “You are so innocent, yes. Didn't you ever hear that pretending to be dead can save you from a brainless beast? It proved to be real. Now I can use it to my own advantage.”
“What do you want?” sahut Mark's. He widens his arms in front of Alex, preparing for the worst. Either way it's worse, Naray attacks Alex or vice versa.
“You know who we are. We're hunters. Hunters will chase their prey until they can—“
“You're alone.” Mark cut the conversation.
Naray laughed again. “True. I am alone because I am better than them. I'm not the kind of person who will turn himself in once my leader is caught. Working with such people is sickening. They're cowards.”
Dominic's turn is laughing. “That's funny. Speaking of cowards, you yourself pretended to be dead to be able to chase Alex all the way here. Who is more cowardly?”
Naray's gun erupted. Dominic jerks. Naray did not shoot himself but rather the ground near his feet. That was enough to make him tightly clench his lips. Maybe he shouldn't have commented. He could feel Naray's breath behind him as well as the muzzle of the gun touching his back. Dominic refused to raise his hand. His hands were slumped beside his waist. His fingers touched the tiny square thing inside the bag.
“So, you want Zetta Sonic,” Alex said as he got up slowly. His knees are feeling weak now. “I'm here.”
Naray grinned. “Quickly once.”
Mark looked at his son and shook his head. “Alex, don't.”
“Then, release him,” pinta Alex. Ignoring all Mark said, Alex began to step up. He passed his father's hand and walked over to Naray. “She doctor. You shouldn't have shot a medic. Untie her. Take me instead.”
“I just need to take you to one place, Alex. Nature of the breed.”
Naray pulled the gun. He no longer held the professor. The gun is now pointed at Alex's head.
“Running!” Dominic Exclamations.
Naray. In pain and difficulty seeing, he did not despair. Naray shot blindly. Dominic's down. Meanwhile, Mark runs up to his son. He pulls Alex down before a bullet hits him. Instead, two consecutive bullets hit his own body.
“Mark!” Dominic yelled again. “Yes, God!
Alex could not scream when he saw his father fall on the side of the valley and then rolled several times before finally stopping. On the other hand, Naray's shot finally stopped as well. The bullet in the handgun was gone. Now, Naray shouted while looking down. Some of his face and chest suffered burns. His hands are behind the gloves.
Dominic hurriedly gets up, runs at Mark.
Alex sees that Naray is not done. Naray's hands moved behind his waist. The man took a long dagger. There was also another gun there, Naray just took the nearest one from his hand. He didn't care about the pain and heat of his burns. His eyes were full of anger. His head moved to see Dominic running. As he said earlier, he would not hesitate to kill anyone. Alex knew it right.
Without a second thought, Alex jumps at Naray. He hits Naray before the man injures anyone. The empty-handed fight can no longer be avoided.
Naray closed one of his eyes that was injured by a burn. Even so, he was still able to move well. His hand managed to withstand several consecutive blows from Alex. Instead, Alex also successfully kicked Naray's dagger to the ground. Next, Alex kicks a spin into the opponent's chest, forcing him to retreat.
“Fucking boy!” Naray growling.
Alex clenched his hands. His emotions are at the top. If the conditions are better than that, Alex is sure to have fired Dragon Aura. Unfortunately, his condition was not possible. He welcomes Naray and the two engage in a close combat again. The fight this time around was more messy. Naray has trouble seeing while Alex himself is weak enough to pull off a meaningful blow.
Naray can avoid Alex's punches. It is more difficult to avoid kicks because the longer the view is getting blurred. Within that limitation, he saw a punch coming. Naray made it last Alex. Using the opportunity, he thrust a crushing blow back across the child's face.
Alex also took. In a hurry, he recovers. Alex did not stay away. He kept a fairly close distance between them. At Naray's next blow, Alex uses his knee to the opponent's chest. The attack hit Naray violently, making him cough and instantly fall to his knees. Alex is preparing for the next attack. But that made him not aware. Naray's hand on the ground was able to retrieve the dagger. As Alex approached, Naray unsheathed his dagger. The dagger should be able to get into the heart if Naray is precise. The burn now prevents him. Naray had to settle for simply injuring the edge of Alex's stomach.
Alex yelling. He retreated quickly. The wound was quite deep though not so wide. His hands examined the wound. Wetter. Blood is flowing there. His head was dizzy by the scent of blood and pain. Alex coughed again. This time, he couldn't stop her coughing. Just know, he was already kneeling on the ground. His right hand held a wound on his abdomen, his left hand held his mouth. Both were soaked with blood.
Naray pulled out his other gun from behind his back. “Why silent?” Naray moved closer. “Began to realize that you can't run from your own curse, monster?”
Alex made a face. His body began to tremble. His stomach was nauseous, his head was dizzy. When his hand rubbed his lips, fresh blood dripped onto the ground. The color is no longer as red as usual.
Naray stops and puts the gun to Alex's head. “The person who will kill Zetta Sonic is me!”
Shots were released.
