Chapter 7 (Defect)

They both are hiding behind a rock, looking at the area of the box.

"So, how are we getting there? Usually some men would guide us but we left our support behind so we have to figure something out." the saint asks as she looks at the men who were attacking to get hands on the box.

"You see, I have never really fought a whole damn force of literal armed men."

"So, what are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"You are staring at the men instead of the box. Are you interested in them?"

"What? No, I am counting them."

"Trying to get lucky?

He glares at her.

"What gives you the idea that I am interested?"

"Your personality suck with girls."

he sighs.

"I'm just lacking social skills. That's all." he says.

"Liar."

"Huh?"

"Not that it matters right. Did you think of any strategy?"

*"There she goes ignoring the question."*

"I did not. Also do you have some sort of trick under your sleeve? Like another superpower which will help me get my hands on any of the guns?"

She thinks and thinks and gets lost in her own thought.

*"She is taking it seriously. Maybe I should also take it a bit more serious."

After a moment with thoughts, she speaks.

"I do have one use of our contract. But we may die if something goes wrong."

A dirty smirk appears on him face.

*"Death? I carve for it, its the perfect reason, the perfect motivation for me."*

"Doesn't matter. Lets go with that plan." he responds.

"You are quite sadistic, aren't ya." she says with a weird smile.

"Just tell me the plan."

she sighs..

"Ok, so..."

She explained her plan thoroughly. It was by no doubt a suicide plan.

"You really want us dead. But, somewhat, I like it."

"Alright, we will proceed as we planned."

The plan is executed.

She gets up and slowly walks towards the nearest guard she sees.

Her walk is slow and cautious and also quiet because there is no need for unwanted attention.

Hiding a knife behind her back, she slowly gets near and near to the man.

When she is about 10 feet away, the man notices her and quickly points his gun at her. But he does not shoot. After all, they were not ordered to harm a normal civilian.

The saint stops at her position and the man proceeds to walk towards her, giving her sign to stay where she is.

After walking a few steps, he put down his gun and got a bit less tense.

*"Ok, now is my time."*

She pulls out the knife and scratched her arm with it.

This confused the man so he just silently stared.

Soon, her scar started to heal and in less than 10 seconds, he noticed it and got alarmed.

This time, he pulled out gun with an intention of shooting.

That triggered the contract. The defense.

The moment that man aimed at her, Yaku was possessed by some strange uncontrollable energy. That caused him to sprint towards the saint in a super-fast speed that his leg got broken by the impact.

He pushed away the saint and the bullet went through his hair, burning them from the edges. While that man was confused by the sudden turn of events, Yaku took this confusion for his advantage and kicked him to unconsciousness, breaking both his ribs and his foot.

His bones healed in some seconds because of the contract so he took the gun and some bullets and dragged that body to the rock they were hiding behind and also took his clothes.

After looting him completely, he is seated by that very rock, catching some oxygen.

The saint walks up to him and asked,

"So, how was it?"

Yaku looked at her in confusion.

"It must be painful right? I am only a spirit, so I don't feel pain (even the push broke my arm). But it must have hurt a lot. I feel sympathy for you."

Yaku laughs.

"This . was . the . best . experience . ever!"

"My bones broke but they healed so I can toy with my body without caring for any consequences and I went through a life death experience. I LOVE IT!"

She looks at him with mere disgust,

"Sadistic asshole."

"So, now what? How do we go further?" she asks

"I have the uniform now. I think we can proceed closer to the box. At least we can proceed to the end of their territory. Then we just have to prove we are not on the other side to the guys protecting the area."

"Alright, we will go with that. But how will you hide me?"

Yaku stays silent.

After a few seconds, she once again asks the same question.

"How will you hide me mister intelligent?"

"You know what?"

They look at each other.

"I got the gun. It has a silencer. It has a scope. With this contract, my senses have reached some super human level too. I can just shoot them all and clear our path."

"Are you serious?"

"I am dead serious."

"Sure then. I couldn't care less about them."

He gets up and checks out the gun. From its scope and silencer to the clips.

"By the way, how many men are here who are our enemies?" he asks while looking through the scope.

"I counted about 50."

"This gun has a clip of 30 bullets."

"So?"

"I want to shoot 30 in a minute. And I don't want to miss any shot."

"Huh? The contract can make it possible but your body can't handle it."

"So what?"

She looks in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"I will just keep on breaking it and healing it."

"You are insane..."

"Don't worry." he says as he points the gun at one of the guys out there.

"The venom of a python can be used as a medicine too."

*"I have to on their kidney. I am too young to turn into a killer so I will just immobilize them."*

He breathes in.

"Let the show begin."
