Chapter 24:Thursday....

His legs were shaking and his mouth felt dry, he had to use the clown ability to avoid making a divination for every bump the carriage passed and several times he almost grabbed his revolver for this.

'Calm down Nathan, calm down, just remember the plan, remember the plan...' Nathan said mentally to himself while his legs couldn't stay still.

Seeing how her partner was doing, Sasha just gave a small sigh as she grabbed his hand with hers.

This made Nathan look at her with his blue eyes, Sasha gave him a comforting smile as she lightly squeezed his hand.

This did much to calm Nathan who gave another sigh and gave her a weak smile.

"Thank you Sasha, I needed that" the grateful man said as he calmed down more.

"Don't mention it Nathan we are in this together from that day in Bayam to today in Backlund" Sasha said as she reminisced.

Taking a quick look out the window Nathan looked at the streets and only managed to see people going about their days, no sign of attack was present, a light rain was present.

"There are no signs of anything and my premonition of danger has not yet warned me of anything..."

Holding the hilt of her sword, Sasha let out a light sigh as she meditated to calm her nerves.

Patting her gloved hand Sasha also took a quick look outside her window but like Nathan she couldn't find anything.

'Luckily I managed to advance to sequence 8 a while ago so I can help more in the fight.....' Sasha thought as the carriage kept moving through the light drizzle.

Outside the carriage in the driver's seat were two seated figures both dressed in black windbreakers but one of them had a gloomy mask.

The one without the mask was casting the fifteenth look at the man next to him.

'What weird guy, instead of getting into the carriage with his friends, he would rather be out here in the rain?' the man thought as he looked at the masked man who turned his head to look at him.

"Good morning, sir, I'm Mr. Holmes, a pleasure to meet you," the man under the mask introduced himself with a rather serious voice.

"A pleasure Mr. Holmes, I am Ducer"

Seeing the gloomy mask in front of him, the driver returned his gaze to the front and continued looking at the road that was more empty than usual.

In fact, the whole street seemed to be empty, even the sidewalks were much emptier and now there were only a few pedestrians left, the funny thing is that they all moved forward...

Inside the carriage, the hairs on Nathan's skin stood on end, his pupils shrank, and a cold sweat broke out on his body.

Quickly Nathan went to the window at the front of the interior of the carriage and opening it he yelled.

"They are here Mr.Holmes!!!!"Adryan hearing the news didn't waste a second and grabbing Ducer he jump while carrying the man just like Sasha and Nathan left the carriage going left.

Not a few seconds later, the pedestrians who were advancing took out revolvers and all shot at the carriage, causing it to be destroyed by the hail of bullets.

Having reached an alley to cover themselves, Adryan grabbed Ducer's shoulders who was in shock and shook him hard, causing him to react and make him look at Adryan in terror.

"Mr. Holmes what is happening..." Ducer was interrupted by Adryan who lifted him off the ground.

"Run and flee Ducer, things are about to rise here" The man said in a grave and mocking voice as he took out a revolver from under his left armpit.

Leaning his torso slightly, Adryan took a quick look as he fired three shots causing three enemies to fall to the ground dead, he couldn't shoot anymore because the others fired where he was and Adryan had to take cover again.

"3 less, 15 to go..." were Adryan's words while under his mask his red eyes shone brightly.

On the other side of the street were Sasha and Nathan who had also taken cover, Nathan had his revolver out and Sasha her sword.

Somewhat nervous they watched as Adryan leaned out and fired three shots, managing to kill three.

"Even in this situation the boss is cool-headed and cold-blooded" Nathan said looking at all this and Sasha could only nod.

"We can't stay behind right?" Sasha said as she readied her sword, Nathan just nodded as he prepared to fire.

Before they could do anything the deep voice of Adryan in disguise rang out across the street allowing everyone to hear it.

"WHAT'S UP GUYS, ARE YOU SCARED?, COME ON, I'M HERE!!" When Adryan said that, the remaining 15 men pointed their weapons at where Adryan was and fired.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nathan leaned out and aiming, fired 5 shots but 2 of these missed and only killed 3 and wounded 2.

"Shit!" Cursing under his breath Nathan had to take cover again to avoid shots coming his way.

The rain was now pouring down on the street making it difficult to see so that no one could see as Adryan stepped out of the shadows of a chimney on the roof of a building and moved quickly behind the enemy.

But hearing the sound of a shot, Adryan had to jump back, in the place where he was suddenly was destroyed as if something very heavy and invisible had hit the place with force.

"You finally show your fake face uh?"Adryan spoke mockingly to a figure that was on the other side.

While at Nathan and Sasha's place, Nathan's clown sixth sense kicked in and he didn't hesitate to let Sasha know.

"DODGE SASHA TO THE RIGHT" they had barely managed to dodge when in the place where they were a dense, golden and holy flame hit destroying the wall.

The beyonder enemies had arrived.
