Chapter 29 no title as I can't really think of one~

this is going to be a problem the suit was asking him to eliminate Koichi Shido and at the same time save Shizuka Marikawa when Shido managed to take control of her body so how the hell is he going to save her?

even worse now the woman's body was changing physically to the point that it was like she was a different person!

the claws left his body with a twisting motion as he fell to the ground as Jack was bleeding rather heavily, as his blood was gradually forming a pool of blood but that wasn't the most troubling part.

the so-called main characters he was supposed to protect arrived at the worse time!

Saeko like an angry bull charged forth with no words or anything like that, but the look on her face said it all, she was worried about him as the injuries around his guts wasn't looking well, but Saeko maintained her focus on the one who caused this as none of them recognized Shizuka thanks to the full-body makeover and completely different demeanor.

Shizuka wasn't a warrior either so it didn't cross Saeko's mind that their school 'airheaded' nurse was under the control of someone!

But Shido managed to control the body so well to the point that he was making the body move faster than Shizuka had ever tried in her whole life, parrying each slash of the blade with those metallic claws of his.

Seeing that her attacks were blocked, Saeko was feeling even tenser than ever as the pressure she was feeling from her opponent reminded her of that kendo instructor that taught her the scarier thing was the longer this situation was lasting the heavier the pressure she was beginning to feel.

Thus while holding the sword in front of her, Saeko asked her adversary who she was!

"who are you? and why are you attacking him?"

however, the scantily armored woman smiled widely as her head tilted to the side before replying in a tone of voice that made her skin crawl.

"HEHEHE, jack, this girl is hot! I wonder how it would feel like to have her squirming under me?(Jack released a heated growl from hearing this) but back to the point, i have no name to give to a bitch that will be dying soon~"

But the other main characters raised their guns and began firing!

Making Shido retreat behind some cover!

all while Takemi was trying to drag away Jack's bleeding body!

But another bizarre thing was when Takemi touched him some strange and foreign memories enveloped her mind while jack received another notification on his corrupted screen.

<<SOUL SHARD HOLDER DETECTED NOW ACTIVATING CHAMPION'S ROLE>>

<<PLEASE PROTECT THE CHAMPION DURING AWAKENING PROCESS>>

<<ESTIMATED TIME OF COMPLETION ONE HOUR>>

The activation caused Takemi to fall to the ground like a sack of potatoes catching the attention of everyone including...

SHIDO!

The 'Man' spoke out loud with clear excitement and yearning.

"Say ladies, how about we make a deal, yeah?"

they stopped shooting for two reasons, one to save ammo, and two the majority of them were willing to listen to make this their enemy's last words.

A brief silence went on as Shido was letting his words sink in before he continued with the charade collecting a few things on the ground around him pieces of broken glass and debris.

"give me the girl and i won't kill you ladies~?(slowly at least)"

the last part he whispered to which only jack heard thanks to his passive enhanced hearing.

Sensing something was wrong he tried warning the girls but Shido enacted his plan before they answered as Saya, Saeko, Rei were out in the open ready to rain some lead into the adversary, however, one certain girl the youngest of the group blurted out a few words that made them stop at the last second giving Shido the best chance to harm them gravely.

"shizuka-nee? is that you?"

these words alone brought more harm than good as Shido came from out of the cover then threw the sharp object that 'he' held towards the girls Saeko deflected the majority of it however Rei ended up getting a few embedded into her arm, Saya had a few of them tear into her left thigh thanks to her position at the time.

Jack's injuries stopped bleeding thanks to his passives as for why he was taking so long to get to his feet was due to the changes they when through which further hardened the belief of a certain someone that he was an alien as it looked like raptor feet!

But when he was finally able to get to his feet He made a mad dash towards ignoring the yells of the girls, ignoring his pain, everything.

He wasn't sure if it would work, however, it was his best shot.

Shido took the tackle head-on before sending a claw into Jack's lower back puncturing a kidney!

But that made an opportunity for him, as jack lifted Shizuka's possessed body into the air before charging through the wall!

seeing that he was trying hard not to harm the body too much as jack held it on his shoulder now leaving his back exposed, Shido took this as the best time to claw the fuck out of Jack, as the claw that was in his lower back ripped out a chunk of flesh.

Jack, however, continued to move while holding his enemy in the air despite the injuries that were piling up thanks to the ruthless attacks he was suffering.

His destination was one of the Nearby corpses of the Armored Undead as for why thanks to absorbing a few of them he knew how to use a certain device they had...

the self-destruct option!

Shido who was enjoying himself too much at the moment was clueless as he assumed that he was trying to move them as far away from the girls as possible even if he died especially for the holder of the soul shard, where he practically became a villain in his previous life just for revenge!

However, jack stopped right beside his destination as his back was mutilated to the point now of the muscles were intact exposing some bones too as his mind was drifting from the bloodless and it has only been 3 minutes since the suit was shut down for a bit thanks to the damned EMP.

but he maintained a hold on Shido as he activated the option that made the atrocious Body snatcher stop and looks at the source of the beeping sounded very ominous.

he asked in a nearly crazed manner.

"JjAaAcCKkK~? wHaT DiD YoU dO?"

The person he inquired ignored the question, however, Jack did slam the body he was holding into the ground before grabbing one of the arms by the wrist then grabbed Shizuka's head from behind struggling to pull it close to his chest however Shido was screaming out indignantly.

"JACK, ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU'LL KILL US BOTH AT THIS RATE!"

As the freehand sunk into his side showing that Shido was afraid of something and wasn't willing to let this body die, he coughed up some blood before replying as best as he could full of sarcasm at first.

"My dear friend, it seems that you have forgotten something when it comes to Rona there are only a few things i wouldn't for her even more so after what you did even if i need to become the world's enemy now that i am given another chance to protect her even if it is a fragment of her....!"

Jack's hold on the head tightened as it was merely an inch away he added this.

"even if she has to hate me this time around, I will protect her with my everything!"

Jack kicked the arm of the Armored Undead causing something to pierce through both of them surprising Shido and giving him the best chance to pull the head to touch his chest.

As a good number of notifications followed as the claw retracted itself letting jack and the person he was holding fall to the ground as the beeping stopped since it shut down thanks to his tampering as Shido always made the worst decisions when his life is in danger...

Something that Jack learned from trying to kill him so many times in the previous life~.

As he was starting to blackout he saw a group of four people lead by an old man with a black beret as he smoked his cigarette as he asked his members.

"Anyone got some spare medkits?"

A young girl with brown hair, a pink jersey, and jeans replied.

"i got some to spare, but are you sure we should do this, bill?"

The old man who the girl called bill took a deep puff from his cigarette before answering.

"yeah, it'd be doing us a favor actually since those voices i told you all about his asking me to save him."

The girl nodded as she said.

"alright, it was your call don't blame me if we need more of that stuff later!"

Bill smirked as he reassured her.

"heh, don't worry Zoey, you guys can hold me accountable for this time again."
