Chapter 18: My name is….

Ryan calmed down his racing heart and took deep breathes followed by some neck cracking. He slowly aimed his sniper directly at the head on one person then another and so on.

Sarah had told him a curious fact that in exchange of 50% of his Mana, she could make a special sniper that can shoot 5 bullets at a single time. Ryan only needed to aim five or less people and pull the trigger once.

This will make 5 bullets escape the sniper and travel to their targets in a magical way. Despite the Mana consumption being too much, this was damn good when there are more than one target.

A sniper is only good if we there was one target and would be a sitting duck against a group. This skill made him a ton better and saved time.

(A/N: I know what I made sounds absurd but, please note that this is a novel not some real life biography.)

Ryan slowly pulled the trigger and…..

*swish* *swish* *swish* *swish* *swish*

Five bullets tore through the air and travelled in unimaginable speed to their target. The bullet had a small red coating indicating the Fire Element being infused in it.

In less than a fraction of second, five bodies fell down from the chairs they said with a *THUD*

Ryan, who was still sitting in his sniping position, breathed out a mouthful of air as he was successful. Even though the sniping seemed simple, it was very taxing to his mind and body. A small incline in angle was all needed for the bullet to miss and plan to fail!

Ryan and Sarah slowly creeped down to the lower floors and checked the lifeless bodies for any life. It was always better to be sured of killing rather than crying after trouble came looking at you.

He then went towards the sack which was laying towards his right. The sack was now in a complete standstill as the girl inside was exhausted after trying to escape and must have fainted from exhaustion.

Just before he could loosed the ropes, Sarah warned

[Looks like we have a guest to welcome.]

Ryan stopped midway and looked towards the one and only exit and entry point. He could see a shadow of a women coming towards them clapping as if she saw an entertaining movie.

*Clap* *clap* *clap*

"I never thought someone will find these fools and kill them easily, much less some kids. So kiddo, what's your next plan?" The lady who looked as if in her early 30s asked with a friendly smile on her face.

Ryan wasn't fazed even slightly or more correctly, outwardly he wasn't fazed but, inwardly was in a turmoil. He calmed himself and said some lines from one of those novels of. 'old Earth' he liked.

"Naturally, my first thought would be to run away but, I don't think you will allow us to pass nicely. So, the only way is to fight it out."

(A/N: Thankfully, no one can sue me for stealing lines. xD )

The lady was inwardly surprised with the braveness of the boy. Since she was in a rather joyous mood for who knows what reason, she said.

"Oh! You got some spine kiddo. I will tell you some information that you won't probably know or will ever know. I am actually the person who hired these kidnappers to kidnap people especially girls.

What they did was rather unfortunate as I never intended to violate the people kidnapped or any sort. But, what done is done and there is no use of crying over spilled milk.

I will tell you why I needed people who were rather young. Well, I just needed thier bodies or more accurately, dead bodies. I don't know why but my Mech is special.

It can easily level up by absorbing some sort of energy from dead bodies and me being rich and resourceful women, hired them to bring bodies that would be killed either by me or them. Also, females were chosen as my Mech told females are better than males and has more 'energy' in them which will help him to grow faster.

So, you tell me what I did was even wrong? I just wanted to be strong and is being strong a crime?" The lady asked as if she was telling some moral fact.

"And, why are you telling me all these?" Ryan looked at her suspiciously as he was damn sure what the reply will be.

"Cuz, dead men tell no tales." Her smile turned sinister as she summoned her Mech which was pitch black in color and a certain aura was leaking from it which made Ryan feel dread.

She quickly fused with her Mech which changed her blue hair to black and even her blue eyes turned black. She too was emiting an aura that made people feel dread.

Ryan didn't waste time conversing or thinking and quickly fused with Sarah. She too was ready to fight as she saw something in the Mech which triggered some memories and her hatred towards the lady and Mech skyrocketed.

Ryan was in dark about it as he didn't have time to check on the mental state of Sarah. Time was essence and he wasn't gonna waste it.

"Oh! Before I forget, lemme tell you my name. Just remember this so that you can tell your kins in afterlife about who killed you. My name is Aliza." The lady or Aliza said and got ready to fight. Her smile didn't fade till now but, there was a small sinisterness in her smile and didn't look much appeasing.

"We will see who kills who and my name is….."
