Albert had shot the Neltair just a millisecond before he dropped the knife. The same one that Diane now had on her back, but that she was aiming right at her head. The bullet had barely grazed him, but it was enough for his shot to miss a bit, he glared at Albert and as if he were a ghost he disappeared into thin air.
- Ho! Be careful my friend - said the priest - it's a seed, they are really dangerous
The seed attacked Albert from the side, but he stopped his attack by taking a step back while he took his wrist and without any effort, not even looking at him, in one movement he slammed him to the ground.
In his entire life, Neltair had never been knocked down so easily, even his teacher would have had minimal trouble humiliating him like that, the assassin moved to his feet to get to his feet, attempting to kick Albert in the face who simply evaded him without effort.
Francisco shot at the assassin, but he with superhuman agility blocked the bullets with his dagger and attacked Albert with his other hand, who disarmed him incredibly easily, the assassin counterattacked with his other dagger at such a speed that both men's hands simply disappeared from the sight of a normal person.
Neltair stepped back, his body had several slightly deep cuts, he cut it six times with his own dagger, that was the greatest humiliation the seed had received in his life, he attacked Albert again in a wild dance at full speed, but Neltair He wasn't even able to touch Albert's hair, without further ado he walked away, disappearing again.
-The pain you're feeling- Albert said- doesn't compare to the one the vampire girl is experiencing right now because of you. You have two options murderer, get out now, or face me again and die.
"That was impressive," said the murderer even without being able to be seen. Who taught you the movements of a seed?
-Friend...- said the priest quite impressed. Even for him, it was a bit difficult to hit Neltair with his bullets, now if we were talking about hand-to-hand combat, surely Neltair would be above him. And that man with a simple dagger had completely surpassed the seed, furthermore Francisco was sure that what he had shown up to now, was not the newcomer's true weapon handling skill- what technique was that? - asked the priest who had completely forgotten about the young vampires
- To tell the truth- said Albert, who was behaving in a very different way from the insolent bum of a few seconds ago- those rude movements of mine that you just witnessed wouldn't impress anyone, I really am very out of practice.
-I have fought with that man many times- Francisco continued without hiding his admiration- and no one had ever overcome him like that, who are you really?
-I? I'm just a bad imitation of a man- Albert said, downplaying it - no more than a simple drunk, maybe he's getting old- Albert quickly walked towards the young vampire
The priest reacted to seeing him run and ran for the statuette, but Neltair emerged from nowhere kicking it just before he grabbed it, then using his dagger he attacked Father Francisco's leg cutting it, and pounced for the small figure still in the air , the priest didn't even shout, he just drew his weapon and shot the seed, hitting his shoulder, preventing him from grabbing it by millimeters.
Albert, extracted the girl's dagger, and without wasting any more time, jumped for the statuette, but just when he was going to take it, Neltair threw a thin but resistant thread at his foot that made him fall and left him pinned to the ground. soil.
The priest ran towards the statuette, but his injured foot prevented him from moving correctly, Neltair went ahead while Albert cut the thread that tied him to the ground.
"This statuette is for the Vatican's bloody psychopathic seed," I yelled at the priest as he finally took it in his hand. Jack came out of nowhere and as if he were a wolf clawed at Neltair and snatched the statuette from him.
- Oh, it's true! you are getting old bastard seed- the priest laughed, at the murderer while pointing his pistol at jack- look that a brat snatched your prize
Francisco fired a single bullet, Jack couldn't even see it, but his body reacted on its own and used the statuette to deflect it, the statuette exploded into pieces when it deflected the bullet, everyone's perplexed face was amazing.
Happy New Year!! Today is December 31, 2022, and today my one-chapter one-day personal challenge ends, I know, I know, this chapter is too short compared to the others, and I'm sorry family commitments are pressing, but let's go back to what we are concerned
The statuette broke!! I mean, the whole book is based on the search for those statuettes and it goes and the first one that appears breaks that easily, what a poor manufacturing quality!
The only thing left for us now is to see if with one less statuette even wishes can be granted. Wait, would it have been an imitation? Or perhaps... the novel will end now because there are no complete statuettes... well, we'll have to find out in the next episode of... TOMORROW!
Starting tomorrow the premiere date of the chapters will be on Sundays and Thursdays. Happy New Year to everyone!
