Chapter 24:
What color is the azure sky?
"Got you," said 002 while thrusting his large rapier toward her, which seemed to be coming from below his belly button. She grabbed the hand coming from the ground and pulled it out like a vine of sweet potato. "What, how?" the creature was confused as he was tossed in the midair from the ground. soon after that She quickly dodged the thrust of the rapier, which was so fast that it was breaking the sound barrier. While dodging, she grabbed 754-032 still in the midair, the one she had taken out from underground, by both his arms with one hand and kicked him so hard, almost breaking every vein and bursting blood with both hand broken, sending him flying far.
"Don't act cocky for an insect!" 002 shouted in rage. She closed the distance while dodging the rapier, but he quickly changed its direction and backed off, maintaining it again. "001, don't you dare try to interfere in this one. I will crush it alone," 002 said. But unfortunately for him, Vel was not in the right frame of mind. 002 continued attacking with full thrusts of the rapier for about an hour. Later, its speed became slow. "Tch, all of my concentration is already exhausted," he muttered and changed the attack pattern, coming in close distance and shortening its length for the same impact. He grabbed both her hands, trying to finish it in the next move, aiming at her head and legs with the secret rapier suddenly coming from his chest area, with the earlier rapier still following. Before the rapier reached her, she counter grabbed 002's hand and shout as she just tore him apart like paper, with blood splattering all over and her body covered in scratches and blood.
Soon, her eyes diverted to finding the last one who was just a second ago sitting but was not there anymore. 002 still had consciousness and thrust one of the rapiers into the corpse even if it was dying. "Why did you do it?" she asked him while tearing his leg, followed by each part until he spoke. "You devils don't even think you win against me," he said with no expression of pain before she tore his brain apart, leaving nothing but wires and blood with some meat.
The air was thick with tension as she sensed the presence of countless bodies, all controlled by a single malevolent consciousness. The ground trembled as the first wave of attackers surged towards her. These were no ordinary foes; some were headless, others were covered in deep cuts, and many had missing limbs. They were just men, old age came here for entertainment but now can't even identify themselves. Within the next few seconds, more than 1000 corpses stood. "Sorry for that, it took a while to raise these many," said someone from the very back. "Don't worry about the numbers, we have a lot and just keep feeding till you can," he added sarcastically with a smile. But it did not last long as he was suddenly wrapped in shackles that came out of nowhere, having high electric voltage in them, paralyzing 001's body, and he fell down. "So you really are not a human, that shock was enough for a human to burn out to death in an instant," a man in a cute mask said, and all the corpses suddenly fell.
"I think you should stop right there," a lady with a long hat said to Vel while coming from the back. Vel looked at her and in a flash stood before her. "I don't care who you are, were these with you?" she asked her. "N-no, we are here to take them with us. We are from the royal military," she said while flustered as she was not able to see Vel's movement at all. "You better hand him over or do you want to have a go at it?" she said with enlarged eyes. "I would love to, but you see these," she said while showing her i2r hologram with a dwarf injured holding a pressure gun. With nothing to reply, she was also taken into custody.
"Zzz zzz," the sound of a vibrating transmitter from that long hat girl's mask. "It is i234 this side. Drag them here and don't let them escape at any cost," someone said over the transmitter with a nasally tone, showing he was crying a moment earlier. "I116 this side. Yes sir, we will bring them immediately after capturing," she replied. "Sir, what should we do with the subject that assaulted a royal military officer at the gate? Should we execute her immediately?" she asked.
"Normally that would be the case, but we own her. Just leave and come quickly, over," someone from the other side replied through the transmitter. She was released quickly and quietly went into the darkness to stark who was still alive, her eyes catching glimpses of the corpse and blood as she walked by. "Just like that time, isn't it?" Vel thought, sadness clouding her eyes. Memories of the past began to blur with the present, the surroundings filled with garbage and abandoned material, dead bodies lying in heaps. She kept moving forward with each step, her steps heavy with the weight of loss. The air was thick with the stench of decay, and the silence was deafening. She closed her eyes, and everything blackened. She soon came to the place where he left stark, but he was missing. Her expression quickly changed to regret, and suddenly someone placed their head on her back while holding her shoulder. "Everyone is already in the hospital… I am…" he muttered, but his voice faded into silence, replaced by quiet sobbing. It was Pho. her expression suddenly relaxed She grabbed him and exited the event, which continued undisturbed by the chaos. The exit was right beside the 20th public site.
At the hospital's roof, someone sat on the railing with a glass in hand and six more glasses beside him filled with some drink maybe water or alcohol and right beside im is the smoke coming out of chimney as if something was burning. he picked the glass skipping the formalities and drink it as usual savoring every sip "you guys do not drink so let me drink for you" he mumbles to himself and picked up another glass and keeps on drinking until it is all gone without breaking attire. with light reflecting on his body which was naked he take out a chain wrapped around his arm and hold it in hand in pose if he was handing it to someone.
SEASON END
[^17] the Influence of broadcasting sector among the local public is very high such that people believe in them and whatever it show will be mostly right that is the reason the attack on ceremony did not affect anything but this D30 event will later become one of the cause for its influential decline.
