King of Spades 2

"Is he dead?"

"[There's a 75% chance he's alive, but for the master's safety, I'll stay by his side to provide support!]"

The post-battle silence was suddenly shattered by a deafening roar. Everyone present looked up at the sky, where an airship that seemed to come from the depths of their nightmares was descending in a nosedive. The roar of the engines was thunderous, and the sky seemed to split as it passed. Eyes filled with awe and fear as the airship's shadows stretched over them.

As the ship descended at a terrifying speed, Jacob took a moment to catch his breath. His chest rose and fell rapidly, and his hands trembled slightly. The battle had taken its toll, but there was no time to rest. An instinct driven by survival led him to check his ammunition.

"We need to get down!" Jacob said, knowing they had to be the ones to hunt down the King of Spades.

"Yes, let's descend now!"

A sense of panic washed over Jacob as his fingers touched the magazine in his holster. Upon extracting it, his heart sank as he realized he had only one magazine left. Reality hit him like a lead weight. The battle had depleted his ammunition supply, and he had only a handful of chances left before he became defenseless.

"Just one magazine..." he whispered to himself, his voice filled with frustration. Jacob looked around, seeing his fellow survivors recovering from the battle, some wounded, but none had escaped unscathed, and more than half had died.

The airship continued to descend, the noise of its engines filling the air. The ground trembled beneath its imminent arrival, and nearby flames cast erratic flashes of light over the scene. Jacob tightened his grip on the magazine in his hand, feeling his pulse quicken.

"I can't run now, I can't..." he thought firmly, his resolve resurging. He looked to the sky, at the shadow looming over them, and his mind began to devise a new plan.

The situation was dire, but he was unwilling to give in. The last magazine would be his salvation or his downfall. Time was running out, and the roar of the airship grew louder. Jacob turned to his companions, his gaze filled with urgency and determination.

Boom!

"Keep moving forward!"

As the shadows lengthened over the desolate streets, a figure emerged from the flames and smoke. The King of Swords, lethal and precise, advanced with professionalism. His cold mask concealed any hint of emotion as he confidently held his rifle. Around him, the chaos of gunfire momentarily ceased, all eyes fixed on his imposing figure.

The silhouettes of armed men emerged from the shadows, converging toward the King of Swords. The intermittent light of the dancing flames gave them an almost ghostly appearance as they advanced cautiously. Their movements were stealthy, like predators ready to strike.

"It can't be, he should be dead!" One of Jacob's men whispered, his eyes filled with alarm as he watched the enemy approach.

The King of Swords wasted no time. His finger tightened on the trigger of his rifle, and a burst of gunfire filled the air. Bullets found their targets with lethal precision, and the armed men fell one after another amidst cries and stray shots.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Fall back, retreat!" Jacob ordered, his voice full of urgency as he tried to reorganize his group amidst the surprise attack.

The firefight erupted in its full violence as Jacob and his men returned fire. Bullets traced fiery lines through the air, impacting walls and the ground in a terrifying symphony of destruction. Men's voices resonated amidst the chaos, mixed with the roar of the weapons.

The worst possibility had occurred – the King of Spades hadn't emerged injured.

"We can't let them corner us! It's time to advance and attack from different directions!" Jacob shouted, his words challenging the roar of the gunfire.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The scene became a whirlwind of movement and noise. Men ran, crouched, and fired as they sought cover. The King of Swords continued to shoot with deadly precision, seizing every opportunity to eliminate his enemies.

"I need to get close to him at all costs!" One of Jacob's men exclaimed, his voice blending with the chaos of the shootout.

Smoke and the smell of gunpowder filled the air as the confrontation intensified. Bullets whistled around them, creating a deadly maze in the midst of which they fought to survive.

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Everyone, follow my lead and attack in zigzag patterns! Don't give him time to reload!" Jacob yelled, leading with determination as he moved agilely between cover.

The shootout turned into a deadly ballet of tactics and reactions. Shots found their marks, but they were also lost in the chaos. Shadows twisted amidst the flames and destruction, creating a surreal and terrifying atmosphere.

The roar of weapons and the cries of the combatants mingled in a terrifying crescendo. The King of Swords continued to shoot, relentless and deadly, but Jacob's group reorganized and counterattacked with determination.

"Ahhhhh!"

"No, we can't give up, even if we'll die! Keep fighting, we must win so that others can win, and if we win, maybe we'll all return, regardless of whether we've died!" Jacob shouted, his voice resonating above the roar of gunfire.

The shots continued to fill the air, a symphony of chaos and violence. Each bullet seemed to carry with it the intensity of the struggle for survival. The walls around them bore the marks of the battle, but none of the fighters stopped.

The scene was a whirlwind of movement and sound, a clash between determination and desperation. Smoke and the smell of gunpowder saturated the senses as bullets flew and hearts pounded fiercely in the midst of chaos.
