Chapter 26: Chapter 25: Alive
"You fucking.... You are strong as hell"
I heard the guy who i was fighting says as he try his hardest to stand up again while looking at me.
"Would you looked at that? You looked kinda of tired now. Is this your first time killing someone?"
He says again and the guy I just realized who it is looked at me and then shouts.
"Jin!"
It is Julian.
Julian is just standing there looking at me. I guess he already knows that I am fighting this guy called no. 10 or something.
I saw the guy with Jin this afternoon in that dark alley, it looks like he is also confused on why this guy is here and what is he doing here because he kept asking him some questions.
"Oh! No. 13! Are you okay? This guy just randomly attacked me thats why I needed to fight him"
He says which made me confused, I looked at Julian who is also looking at me. He seems confused on why would this guy says something like that so I say something to avoid misunderstanding.
"What are you talking about? You are the one who started attacking me. I remember earlier that you just started drooling and says that you are gonna kill me and Julian or something. We have been fighting for almost five hours now"
Indeed, we are fighting for almost five hours and I needed to finish this quest as soon as possible!
***TING***
(URGENT QUEST:
KILL ILLUMI CRUEL 0/1
TIME LIMIT: 5 HOURS)
***TING***
(REMAINING TIME: 10 MINUTES)
'damn.... I need to complete this quest as soon as possible!'
I am so nervous right now that I am sweating bullets. To be honest, I was scared because I don't know what the penalty is and I never even bothered to know because I am certain that it is gonna be something difficult to complete.
I was getting ready to capture and kill this guy but, I was also thing, what would happen if I killed him? Is Julian gonna get angry at me? Is he gonna get revenge on me?
While thinking all that, I think the guy just snaps and started spouting some nonsense I can't even understand.
"What the hell?! Do you really think I'm just gonna stay there like a f****** p****?! Hell no! I'm gonna kill all of you here you f****** a******!"
The guy they call no. 10 says and then take his gun and point it at us, I manages to move fast and then gave him a tackle. I throw him again at the gate which is already destroyed due to the throw I also did to the same guy earlier.
"Aurgh!"
No. 10 just grunt, the guy Julian is fighting tries to subdue me to keep me from attacking this guy who just ran but Julian managed to hold his shoulder and then punched him in the face.
I continue to chase no. 10 which is even ended up using my skill.

I managed to catch up to Jim and as soon as I was about a meter away from him, I took an item from my inventory.
***TING***
(YOU TOOK THE ITEM 'BLOOD KNIFE' IN YOUR INVENTORY)

(BLOOD KNIFE: HAS THE POISON DAMAGE WHERE IF YOU HIT THE TARGET WITH THIS KNIFE, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY PUT A POISON IN THAT WOUND, IT ALSO HAS THE PASSIVE SKILL WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A 10% DAMAGE ON A WOUNDED ENEMY)
As soon as the knife appeared in my hands, I slash him but he manages to dodged which made me shocked and made my eyes wide.
'he managed to dodged that?! But I used the slow down skill! How is that possible!'
I continue slashing him but the range between us is too far that I can't get him anymore.
***TING***
(THE SKILL 'SLOW DOWN' HAS RAN OUT)
***TING***
(YOU STILL HAVE 3 SECONDS TO DECIDE WHETHER YOU ARE GOING TO USE THIS SKILL AGAIN. IF YOU DECID TO USE THIS SKILL AGAIN, THE COOLDOWN IS GONNA ADD 5 MORE MINUTES)
I was planning on using the skill again but suddenly, Julian just call out my name and then say something to me.
"Jin! Just let no. 10 b- I mean that guy!"
He did managed to continue what he Is going to say because I think he is still hiding about his life being a mercenary to me and his family and that's why he thinks that he almost slip and almost told me about that guy who is currently running away.
"But I need to kill him!"
He got a shocked look on his face when I say that, I think he is not expecting me to say that word all of a sudden.
"He is....."
By the looks of it, he is struggling to tell me that he is a old comrade of his that why he doesn't want him to get killed so I continue what he is going to say to let him know that i know it. I don't really care if he found out about my secret, he is my friend anyway.
"He is your old comrade when you were still a mercenary I know"
His eyes got widened as soon as he heard those words that came out of my mouth. I think he is currently asking himself in his thoughts: How did he know? How much did he know?
"I'll explain to you later! But more importantl-"
I was about to say that I really needed to kill that guy but the time limit has been reached and I got shock because of the notification that popped up.

"Yeah.... I think you are right.... We should let that guy go for now...."
He looked at me with a confused expression. Well I guess that was supposed to be expected, I looked so scared when I say I needed to kill no. 10 but now suddenly I just change my mind all of a sudden.
He looked at me and then smile, I also smiled back to him and then i looked at the back of Julian to see a guy seating unconscious on one of the pillars of this building.
We both take him inside of this abandoned building and it is strange because one of the lights in the rooms of this building is still working.
Julian woke the guy up or so I say, he was awake in the first place. He explained on why he is here and what is he doing here in this country.
He also says about Julian being my friend in which Julian agrees so It make me smile. Finally, I have a friend. In the end, Julian didn't kill him or anything when thw guy looks like he is ready to accept his death because he close his eyes when Julian goes to him with a knife, i even thought he was going to kill him but he let him escape. As he was about to get out because he hop on to the window, he just stop there and after a few seconds, he speaks.
"Tell me no.1..... what is your name?"
Julian didn't looked he get shocked or anything, he just looked at him with widened eyes but I am certain he is not shocked.
"Julian.... Julian Reaper"
"And you are....?"
He looked at me and so does Julian , I think Julian noticed me flinched because I got shocked when the guy said something to me. I didn't actually expect he is going to talked to me anyway.
"Oh uh..... Jin..... Jin Aneced"
I said and then just looked away, I noticed Julian smiled there because I think he realized that I got shy to tell my name and I don't exactly know the reason to be honest.
"My name is Andrew"
He just says and then jump off the window and I didn't managed to see him again because he just dashes on top of the trees and then disappear in the and dark environment. Looks like it Is finally done now, no one is gonna bother Julian. No one, for now.
"So uhm..... Uh...."
He just says and then I remembered earlier that I say I am going to explain to him everything on how I know that he is a mercenary before coming to this country.
"Oh yeah... Uh.... How do I explain this.... Uhm...."
I am sure i looks like I was hesitating to tell him something and then I looked at him again and I think he just remember how I managed to know a lot about him.
"Let's just say that..... I have this thing called...."
