Betrayal

Where I am?

Did I faint?

I was just coming into my senses when I saw two notifications.

The dizziness went away as a bunch of memory fragments rushed at my head and made me understand what just happened.

Just one of them died, from what I remember and how everyone was positioned, the stove guy was too far to be killed by it, and the alligator may have shielded the gravity guy. They probably sustained heavy injuries either way, but they might be able to recover.

The nose-less guy was the nearest to the explosion, and if I'm not wrong, he also was near one of the silver packages.

I think I might have overdone a little with the explosion. The magnitude of the blast was my fault. The small silver bags that I spread were of pressurized flammable gas. Inside the shop when you buy stuff like fuel, it came in different containers and I selected that one because it was the best for what I wanted to do. The only bags that have something different where the ones on top of Chambers, those contained a liquid fuel. I wanted it to spread and burn the body if the explosion wasn't enough so it would finish burning it… apparently, it wasn't necessary since the explosion was bigger than I expected.

I was sent flying over a fence and fell on bushes, so no one knew I was here. I could hear that a group of people arrived and were looking around and helping the remaining people from the other group.

I knew that I didn't faint more than a minute, but in a couple of minutes, Yaxley's group is going to arrive.

I closed my eyes and focused on my senses. I could feel something around me, but I couldn't pinpoint the location since my sixth sense didn't alert me of something going wrong the presences weren't part of the NDR.

People are walking around looking for something. Since they also have some detectors, they will notice I'm here sooner or later.

I was using my Time Heal to recover as fast as possible, but the injuries were way worse than before. My arm was coming back to his normal position after it broke, and the burns were slowly disappearing. If Rose's pets are here and they saw the explosion she must be worried.

'Dante? Can you tell rose that I'm fine, and to let Paws and Lucy wait for me on the sewers… I'll heal and leave as soon as possible.'

'I already told her. She has a major headache now, so the pets are just following you. Hope is looking after her until it ends.'

I don't know if shared thought or empathy work from this distance, but while I finished healing myself I did my best to send her warm feelings. I know that Rose is going to be fine, so I have to leave this place. Hayley and the rest of the team must be worried too after seeing the explosion.

There are some people near but my arm is finally healed, and just some minor wounds are left on my skin.

I need to buy time a couple of seconds to finish healing, I used Time Bubble and slow on the people that I could feel were getting near.

My wounds were almost healed already, I can move without any issues, but I wanted to be in the perfect state before running away, in case I have to fight my way through it. Also, I can't wait to much time, even if I got more time from slowing down their scouts, Yaxley's group is going to be here soon and dealing with more people even if it's just running away will be a challenge. Especially if they have a debuff or another ability that might work against me like the gravity or heater guy.

"Someone is here, sir!"

Crap! I knew he was near, but I didn't think that he was going to see me. I jumped out of the bush and checked my surroundings, the only one near was a guy with enhanced sight, he was the one that saw me and gave the alarm. I took out a couple of daggers and threw them at him.

[Axe throw Lv.1 evolved into Weapon throw lv.1]

[Congratulation for killing an F-Rank Semi-Human Esper, 5 system points rewarded].

The guy fell right after the daggers hit his chest, the alarm was already given, so I had to leave this place without giving them the chance to see me.

Fate didn't agree with me since as soon as I jumped the fence to leave, I found someone coming. From the opposite side.

I slowed him making the pitch of his voice lower and impossible to understand. The guy was big, and his skin seemed to be harder than usual. If I keep killing all the people I find it will take forever the rest of the NDR will surround me.

I left him behind and ran towards the sewer cap that we decided to use before.

"STOP!"

This time there was someone else that saw me, I wasn't trying to be sneaky anymore I wanted to be fast, so I ignored him. A little farther I could see Ramsey's face. As I already thought, this group was similar to the one protecting Chambers about 7 people plus Ramsey were here, with different powers, some known some unknown.

I'm not taking my chances, so I slowed the one that I knew either had an unknown power or a speed enhance. I noticed Ramsey's face distort in anger and Rise his arm as if giving a signal. Then he dropped it.

Farther away on top of a building, a flash told me that the sniper took the shot.

Blood floated slowly in the air as a body fell into the ground.

___________________________________________________

I had to use both Adrenaline Burst and Accelerate during that moment.

It was confusing and unexpected, but after giving the signal, Ramsey's shoulder was the objective of the bullet, you could identify the emotionless goons from the servants because of the reaction that they had when their master was shot.

This was the reason that I didn't feel any threat from the sniper.

It didn't take to much time for me to get what happened. It was the last remnant of Dante's attack from last time. He didn't just make him wander away from the base, he also added a little something to his mind.

Dante knew how the servants were modified, and he could change them a little too. He didn't have enough time at the time to change them completely, that's why he just added a little detail for the next time that they made the signal for him to shot…he just have to shot the signal… literally.

And so Ramsey's arm was the objective.

The chaos that this caused was enough for me to run, but some of the goons tried to follow me.

Using both abilities together with slow I lost them and was able to get back into the sewers.

I think it's weird to feel good about coming back to the sewers, I mean I had my enhanced smell activated, so the smell was even worse than before.

At the bottom of the place, there were a bunch of rats and three people ready two fight. The girl between them noticed me and ran towards me pushing them to the side almost making Milo fall to the water. I could hear her sobs as she surrounded me with her arms in a tight hug as if she feared that I would leave.

"I thought…"

"I'm ok, and not leaving any of you alone."

She didn't say anything she just tightened her hug even more which I responded the same way. I used this time to recover from the use of Adrenaline Burst, and for Hayley to calm down, it took me about a minute to recover. I could see an awkward smile on both Mark and Milo as they looked at us.

"You know we had to drag her down here."

"That must have been more difficult than fighting the alligator."

I could feel her stepping on my foot and a little giggle because of the comment.

"Ouch…are you feeling better?"

"Yes, I think…"

She didn't break the hug yet, but I could see that she had calmed down.

"In that case, we have to go back to Green Shelter. I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired and want my bed."
