Betray.

Before Hik came to Joppa's rescue.

.

Ting.

Hik retreated after giving a strong attack on Rimo which made both of them go far away.

Rimo stopped his sliding with his dagger while looking down. After stopping the slide, he looked up and couldn't see Hik.

Rimo stood up, guarding himself tensely. He tried hard, listening to any movement or sound.

As seconds went by.

Swoo

Rimo heard a sound and swung his dagger.

Ting

"Your fully open now," Hik said slowly. Hik gave a knee at Rimo's guts.

Bam.

"Agkk.." Rimo uttered in pain while bending like a shrimp. He quickly tried to regain his composure but Hik gave an uppercut to Rimo's chin.

Rimo fell on his back with blood coming down from the corners of his mouth.

Hik shook his left hand, looking like the punch hurt him. He said with disdain."I know you are an assassin type like myself, so you are keen on extreme danger. That's why I dropped my dagger. It is as they say you humans are truly weak."

"You bastard." Rimo tried his hard to stand up.

Bam

But Hik came in and gave a strong kick in the head.

"You should die now." Hik was about to kill Rimo suddenly with the corner of his eyes he saw Joppa was struggling and he might get bodied in a few seconds.

"This stupid fat idiot always gets in a serious situation without a reason." Hik was about to go but stopped. He struggled from inside. 'Should I go? I am already done here. NO, I have to go. I need this idiot for my use.'

Hik rushed at them fast, when he came close to them, he saw Leon was about to give a complete killing move. Hik poured every ounce of his strength to get more closer and after coming he gave a strong blow.

After that Hik somehow managed to save Joppa again. But now he was fully exhausted, he is standing still with great difficulty.

"I am going to kill you now. No more saving anything!" Joppa growled with anger.

"[ Self Pierce - All Out ]" Joppa pointed his palm at Leon and said out loud.

Leon was feeling mentally exhausted for some reason and was having a hard time focusing. Still, he focused his mind on his surroundings. He found that his back was facing the battleground between the bandits and Boa's team who was having a seriously hard time now after dwindling their numbers close to forty.

He felt that many weapons dropped on the ground and in the bandits' hands were floating up. Then they immediately shot towards Joppa's direction. Leon would be if Joppa get killed like that but he was on the way to these weapons. Also, he is weak now, he can't walk properly.

Seeing those weapons as they are gathering around as if going down in a funnel, being stacked together by now, he was scared. 'Am I going to die? This early, I haven't seen anything this world has to offer yet.'

"Arghhh."

"Arghhh...."

"dodge it, dodge it"

SWOOH.

"[ Blessed Arrow - Wind - Maxed ]" Boa's voice came out from deep in the crowd who was on the right side of it.

A light green arrow, that was shining with a green light in the dark night, galloped through everyone. along the way, anyone who is hit got instantly killed.

It came to the stalked-up weapons that are close to Leon and blasted them into dust.

Bang.

Leon ducked his head down from the explosion and when he looked up to see what happened he saw dust flying by the weapons remains.

Hik and Joppa were shocked by that move. Hik thought. 'There is also someone in them who can make such a move!'

Joppa said weakly."Why is this happening? It's all because of you." Joppa started pointing his finger at Hik.

"If only I didn't listen to you, you bastard!" Joppa in complete madness attacked Hik.

Bam

Hik didn't expect this would happen. So unprepared, he got punched in the face. He got flung far to the ground after eating that punch.

Hik got up from the ground while wiping the blood coming out of his mouth. Hik after a moment of silence laughed out loud."Hahahahh...I was a fool to believe and have faith in someone else. I should have not saved you after seeing my goal got completed. I became greedy."

Hik started having melancholy saying after finishing his sentence. He said with his usually stern face."You die in here alone. You know I can escape but can you?" Saying that Hik became invisible.

Sitch.

Hik was about to get completely invisible but suddenly he got a cut on his right arm. Hik looked to his right who did this and saw it was Rimo.

Rimo with blood smeared mouth said while heaving up and down."Let me see where you can escape?"

Hik with anger on his wanted to say something but didn't. Instead, he escaped while holding his right arm where it got cut.

When going at a distance he looked around to see if anyone was there, he found Rimo was following him somehow. He panicked. 'How!?'

Then when he looked at his right arm, he knew why. Hik knew his time was up so he mixed in the battlefield.

When he was close to deep enough, he became visible again. Rimo suddenly sprung at him."Found you."

"Fucking leave me alone!" Hik shouted at him.

"No, you shouldn't have done that to our captain." Rimo attacked with a deadpan face.

Hik also started attacking back at him."It's your fault for getting your nose in it."

"We will get our nose into it if anybody does things like you."

After distancing a little bit, Hik became invisible again. Amidst all the chaos Rimo seems to lose him but when he came outside of it, Rimo came rushing to him. So Hik again went into the chaos.

This happened multiple times like a cycle. At first, Hik was confused about how he could find him but as time went by he knew how, because the bandits have become fewer and it is decreasing little by little as time went by, so Rimo just has to wait for him to go outside and become visible. There he would go full thrust at him after saving some energy.

Hik said with annoyance."This is so troublesome and it is annoying me crazy."
