Chapter 21: Volume 1, Chapter 20: Setting Up The Trap

1521 hours, 25 June 0145…

We've arrived at the warehouse and are jumping through the broken square ventilation above this big iron door. After both of us landed inside this warehouse, I inspected some explosive material inside this warehouse to find any existing explosive materials that Joshua had mentioned before.

Unfortunately, there are barely any explosive materials in this warehouse. All we found in this warehouse were just tons of sugar bags, bags of fertilizers, boxes of papers, and small jars of potassium powder stacked in each rack.

I was confused and disappointed because Joshua had lied to me. He's claimed that there's a 9% of explosive material in this warehouse.

"What the hell is this? Is this the 9% explosive material that you've mentioned before? How does it make any sense if sugars, fertilizers, paper, and potassium powder were explosive? Are you fucking kidding me?" I said in frustration when looking at these materials. And then Joshua replied.

"What I meant by 9% of explosive material, is from what are the chances these materials are explosive,"

"What do you mean by that?" I asked again in frustration and confusion. Then he replied to me by asking me a question.

"Did you know these materials are flammable?"

"What? Does it make any sense at all?" I asked back by raising my eyebrows.

Before answering my question, Joshua brought 1 sugar bag, 1 fertilizer bag, 1 box of paper, and a small jar or potassium powder. After that, he opened these bags with his knife to answer my question when looking at these materials.

"First of foremost, crystalline sugar can trigger an explosion. The finer the sugar, the greater the risk. So, confectioners'/powdered sugar (i.e.- 10X), which has a particle size in the order of 60 microns, can be a particular hazard. Furthermore, the milling of the sugar to achieve this fine particle size presents a potential ignition source. And when you look at the grain of this sugar, it seems like it can ignite into flames from how firm these crystals are," He explained while holding the grain of the sugars in his left hand.

After that, he explained the fertilizer.

"Secondly, fertilizer is flammable and explosive because it contains an ammonium nitrate, and it's a nitrogen for fertilizer. So ammonium nitrate is like the engine behind the explosion, but the engine needs fuel,"

"And finally, potassium nitrate is the substance that's used to make gunpowder or fertilizer like that one. And it can create a high explosion if we put tons of them and ignite it with a fire," He continued while showing me the potassium powder jar.

"And because of these materials are flammable, it'll be able to create an explosion when you give it a maximum heat source," He explained again.

I nodded in understanding. And then, I said to him.

"Actually, I remember when I used to make a firecracker using fertilizer,"

"Yes! That's exactly what we're about to make," He said while pointing at me in confidence.

"Firecrackers out from these? How does it possible to combine these materials to create firecrackers?" I asked confusedly while looking at these materials.

In a few seconds, Joshua picked up a piece of paper from the box and started doing some experiments out of these materials for explanation.

"Well, it's simple. If you combine the sugar, fertilizer, and this potassium powder into this piece of paper. You're able to create an explosive material out of this. Considering these are flammable and create an explosion of you, put this perfect amount of material inside this paper.,"

"After that, we're rolling this paper into a cylinder shape, double it with another layer of paper, rolling it again, pinching the tips of each cylinder, do a flipsy-whipsy technique to prevent these materials from spilled,"

"And finally, don't forget to use the small piece of cloth from this bag as the ignitor. Just put it right into the tiny gap through this cylinder tip.,"

"And, here it is," He said while showing me his firecracker from the rolled up paper.

"Heh, no wonder why you're such a tech-expert," I said jocularly.

"That's why you should never sleep in the class," He replied to me.

"Also, we need something to trigger the explosion of this firecracker," he continued.

And then I replied by giving him a tactic.

"How about if you throw at his face and then shoot it? Or maybe ignite it first with the heat source from the tip of your gun, like how you throw a Molotov?"

"Sounds like a plan," he replied while nodding.

Suddenly, we've heard Taken-Ki shouts echoed from outside this warehouse. And it seems like his shout is getting closer and closer.

"DON'T… RUN AWAY… FROM ME!!! FOR… I WILL… KILL… ALL OF YOU!!!" His shout followed with a heavy iron stomping that caused a mini earthquake like before. It alerted and causing both of us to flinch.

"We must set up the trap quick!" I said to Joshua while detaching the rack.

"You focusing on creating the firecracker, while I focusing on making a trap to whack his head out from these racks," I continued.

"On it!" Joshua replied while nodding and focusing on creating firecrackers out of these materials.

"Don't forget to hide your firecrackers inside that crate. So, whenever he's standing right in that place, just shoot it!" I continued again.

"Roger!"

After that, both of us focus on creating our own traps to slay Taken-Ki easier after he has fallen into our trap. Considering that Infectoid is too stupid.

***

It's been 8 minutes since we've set our traps, we're hiding in a separated spot where we trick that Infectoid whenever he's fallen into one of our traps.

So, the strategy is: I will cut down the rope and let the iron pole from the detached rack, to whack his head like a wrecking ball does. After that, Joshua will throw several firecrackers toward Taken-Ki. And then, we did a close combat against that Infectoid.

After we've enraged him by wounding him further, we lure him into our trap by getting whacked by tons of iron poles, and exploded with tons of firework inside that large crate.

"Did you know this abandoned sugar factory used to create a fine sugar?" I asked Joshua through the comms channel, while hiding behind the rack covered with boxes and taking a peek between the gaps of these boxes to see if Taken-Ki had arrived or not yet.

"Yes. The reason they abandon this factory is that the company moved into a more strategic place for better production," He answered straightforwardly.

Suddenly, Taken-Ki slashed the warehouse door with his Great Sword.

*JSLHOSH JSLHOSH*

After that, he kicked the slashed iron door with his feet harshly.

*BBSSSSSSRRRYYAAAAAKKKKKK*

Then he entered this warehouse with a threatening stomp and growled.

*stomp stomp stomp*

"YOU… HAVE… KILLED… MY MASTER!!! NOW… I SHALL… KILL YOU!!!"

"You can run… but you cannot hide! Show yourself, AND FIGHT AGAINST ME. YOU… FILTHY… COWARDLY AUTHONOIDS!!!" He continued while walking through the corner of this warehouse, trying to find us.

Unfortunately, he failed to notice us behind these boxes where we're peeking through these gaps.

When he's walking around this warehouse and fails to notice us, he's standing right in the spot of my trap while looking around left and right to take a small break.

"I think it's my time," I said while sneaking and climbing through the upside pillar to activate my trap.

"Do it!" Joshua replied to me.

After I climbed myself through the upside pillar sneakily and stood right in the rope of my trap, I provoked him by shouting at him.

"HEY TAKEN-BITCH! YOUR MASTER IS A PIECE OF SHIT!"

Taken-Ki startled after hearing my rant. And then, he looked at his back and saw me standing in the pillar from above while giving him a downward left middle finger as a "Fuck you, loser!" sign.

Feeling mocked, Taken-Ki's anger is increasing as he clenches his Greatsword, and he said to me growingly.

"You… filthy… Authonoid… mocked… my master! Now, I shall… KILL YOU!!!"

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" He shouted as he swung his Great Sword toward the right side to create a shock wave projectile.

*BWUUAAASSSSHHHHHHH*
