Chapter 29: Volume 1, Chapter 28: Brainy Brawn

Insert Music: The Qemists - Lost Weekend

1700 hours, 25 June 0145…

I'm suspended in the middle of this warehouse when staring at Scott, who's standing in front of Florent. Because Scott is getting in my way in a sudden, when I'm busy fighting against Florent. And then Florent said to Scott.

"Fool?! Hahahahahahahaha! Don't you realize you're the one who's the real fool?!"

Scott approached Florent with a glare and replied.

"You have killed my friends! Now, you must pay the price!"

Moreover, I have to restrain him from endangering his life further, because I knew Florent isn't the guy that Scott can beat up easily.

"Back off, dumbass! You're getting in my way!" I said to him as I snapped his right shoulder.

However, he slapped my right arm and replied to me, harshly.

"I don't care! I saw it in my eyes that he's taken away my friend's life, back in the day! And he's also responsible for shoving this stupid virus into my throat!"

"So, what's the deal with that?" I asked him, while raising my left eyebrow.

"He must pay from that!" He answered as he glared at me.

I sighed in frustration at how stubborn Scott was, and let him fight against Florent. Afterwards, I conceded and replied to him.

"Whatever you do, if you're bored with life,"

Wasting no seconds, I saw Scott approaching Florent with a threatening glare as he clenched his right fist toward his Greatsword handlebar. Despite that, Florent smiled, glared, and said to Scott, sinisterly.

"Well, well, well, if it ain't the clumsy Scott. Hell, even I've ever remembered you for being a massive-"

Suddenly, Scott cut his words and replied threateningly. While pointing his Greatsword at Florent face.

"Enough, you piece of shit! Now, you must, DIE!"

Despite the threat that Scott had given to Florent, he remains calm. He sighed, and then he replied.

"Fine… as you wish," Said Florent to Scott, calmly.

And in a sudden, Florent drew his revolver in a lightning speed, pointed it toward Scott's face, and pulled the trigger twice.

*BANG BANG*

Despite that, Scott blocked Florent's bullets with his Greatsword.

*TANG TANG*

And after he blocked the bullets, he swung his Greatsword toward Florent harshly.

"HIYAH!!!"

However, Florent parried Scott's Greatsword with his backup butcher blades, because his main butcher blades broken, previously after fighting against me.

*DSJHING DSJHING DSJHING DSJHING DSJHING*

Their blades create tons of spark that's shone through this dark warehouse. Despite that, I prefer to watch the fight from the distance, just to see how Scott can handle an Authonoid like Florent.

"If that's what he wanted, I'll just sit back, and watch that idiot die like an idiot," I said to myself when I'm sitting in the empty wooden box and watching the fight.

*SWOSH SWOSH SWOSH SWOSH*

When Scott swinging his Greatsword back to forth. Suddenly, the weight of his Greatsword backfires him, until he's smacked the ground harshly because of his mistakes.

*BSRYAK*

I saw Scott is slightly exhausted after swinging his Greatsword, trying to slashing Florent. Unfortunately, Florent keeps evading his attack, as if he's toying with him.

"What's wrong? Tired?" Florent asked sinisterly.

"Enough, DAMMIT!!!" Scott replied as he charged toward Florent, and continuing the fight.

I wanted to lend him a help. Unfortunately, Scott never stops being an idiot where he's just stupidly charging toward the enemy line with his deadweight blade, and weighed his clumsiness.

But everyone realized that I've ever done so many stupid things, right? Mine differs, because I know from what I'm doing and I swore to myself that I have to find lots of way to get out of this stupid mess.

When I'm watching Scott keep misses his Greatsword swing toward Florent, I got a call in a sudden from Axel through my comms channel. Afterwards, I stood up and looked the other way while answering Axel's call.

"Tsuyuki! This is Axel! Can you hear me?!" Axel asked anxiously.

"Loud and clear," I replied straightforwardly.

"Leader! How many times the commander have told you to restrain from acting on your own?! Do you even care about the teamwork?!" He asked me anxiously, yet harshly.

"I'm just taking care of a personal affair that none of you shall interfere,"

"I don't care, we're coming for you!" He replied to me when he's hanging up the calls.

When I'm about to look behind to see how the fight between Scott and Florent going, I felt some great disturbance coming at me in a sudden. And it's coming in a lightning speed.

*BSRYAK*

Someone slashed the crates with a great force and causing a great havoc toward me. Fortunately, I've evaded it in a lightning speed, like breaking a toothpick.

"What the?!" I asked to myself when trying to observing the unknown wreak havoc.

And when the vision was cleared enough, I saw Scott swinging his Greatsword toward me.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

*BSRYAK*

Fortunately, I've evaded his attack easily. And after the short wreak havoc he's created, he's stabbed his Greatsword into the ground, crouching, and take a quick break from exhaustion. I saw Scott panted heavily after keep missing his attack toward Florent. However, I saw something wrong from Scott's exhaustion.

I saw his neck had a black veins that are crawling into his entire body, and his face. I saw his virus infection is relapsed, considering Florent is an infected Authonoid that can spread the virus easily. But this kind of infection is completely different, as if someone is controlling his infection rate. Scott panted heavily and winced in pain. Because this virus is about to damage his bodies further. And then, Scott growled in pain, and clenching his chest, from how much the pain he has to bear.

This time, I regretted my choice of letting Scott tricked by Florent, and ended up wounded. I looked at Florent with a glare and asked him.

"You used that spell, aren't you?"

What I meant with the spell is the spell that Florent used to spout to increase the power of the Scorching Virus infection, and manipulating the infected. The spell is comprised of: Terzos (Burn), Avtorat (Kill), and Khulbyask (Ravage).

"What do you mean by that? I'm just toying with him," He answered jocularly, as if he never did anything wrong.

Afterwards, he continued spouting the spell.

"Terzos, Avtorat, Khulbyask,"

Scott growled in pain even louder. And then, he screamed, as he cannot bear the greatest pain he's ever experienced.

"GYAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!"

My feelings and my minds stopped for a second when I saw Scott screamed in pain. I can feel the pain that he's experienced. And his pain reminded me of my past pains that I'll never forget. I wanted to help him, but I have to take care of Florent first.

"Toying… you said…" I mumbled to myself.

I can't just stand here and see Scott screaming in pain. So I drew my Kiryu in a lightning speed, and shoot Florent to give him a lesson.

*BANG BANG*

However, Florent drew his revolver and parried my bullets like he's previously done.

*BANG BANG*

I pointed my Kiryu with a threatening glare to back him down. Then Florent conceded, put his revolver into the holster, and slowly raising his hand. He looks relaxed despite the threat I've given to him. Moreover, he said to me.

"Do you know why Scorching Virus is so powerful? It's because this virus was originated from the lowest level of Galean hell. In that place, King Sakorcha created this virus, based on his name, because Galean humans won't stop ravaging this planet while bringing up their divine deeds.,"

I stay silent and let this idiot spouting his bullshits. And then he continued.

"So, King Sakorcha wanted to eradicate these pathetic divine beings to give them a lesson. Because these divine beings that are under God's blessing aren't differs from the accursed devils that they swore to destroy.,"

"War, politics, suffering, corruption, and resentment is what these divine beings always seek to achieve their bullshit goals of nothing,"

"And whenever these divine beings achieved these bullshit goals of nothing, they'll ended up ravaging each other. Because they never had enough.,"

"And when the moment the evils are no longer exist, one will make other evil,"

After he's done talking, I replied to him.

"However, that still won't convince me on joining your shithole organization that's act no different from what they swore to destroy,"

"And you're right. To fight evil, you must become more evil than that. However, you lacked one thing from what makes you weaker than ever.,"

Suddenly, Florent asked.

"Gratitude?"

"Exactly," I answered while nodded.

"Humans getting weaker not because they lack of power. It's because they have no gratitude to control their desire,"

When I'm about to continue, Florent cut my argument and said.

"Control makes human weaker, Tsuyuki. Control is the thing that's used to restrain everything from developing, and-"

"Developing for what? Degeneration?" I countered his argument sardonically.

"Because without control, humanity ended up in a massive degeneration. Like you, for example,"

"Aren't we all degenerate?!" Florent asked while laughed a little.

"You say that is the equivalent of drowning your head into a toilet," I replied with a glare.

"Ha! Bullshit!"

Suddenly, Florent drew his revolver again and shoot me.

*BANG BANG*

Luckily, I drew my Kiryu in a lightning speed and parried his bullets.

*BANG BANG*

When I'm busy taking care of Florent. I've heard Scott growled in pain, and he said.

"Urrrggghhhh… Sarah… Carter… GYAAAGGGHHHH!!!!"

I looked back and saw Scott laying down on the ground while holding his chest and his forehead in pain. Seeing Scott experiencing a pain increasing my hatred toward Florent even more.

I glared at Florent and approached him slowly while pointing my Kiryu right at him.

"You have crossed the line, Florent. And it's your responsibility, whenever you're tripped and fallen in the middle of your journey," I said to him threateningly.

Despite that, Florent looked relaxed and replied.

"Well… I agree with you,"

"Unfortunately, I don't have enough time left. Because my majesty ordered me to come back to see her,"

"Bullshit, you're scared that Scott is about to stab your ass," I replied to him, sardonically.

"Heh! Like I would expect you it to be,"

Suddenly, Florent throwing a smoke grenade and smoked this place. And the smoke spreading across this warehouse, until half of this warehouse was covered with a smoke.

*BWOSH*

And after the smoke dissipated, Florent disappeared with no trails at all. I felt relieved but panicked at the same time, because I have to take care of Scott's infection.

"Fucking hell…" I mumbled to myself in disappointment.

Suddenly, Scott said something while in pain.

"My… god…"

I approached Scott, crouched, and checking his pulse rate through his neck. Unfortunately, his pulse rate is going slow and faster at the same time. It's unstable. And it seems like the virus has reached his consciousness system.

I wanted to halt the infection, but I barely have any medical equipment to halt his infection. Because I've spent most of my medical equipment during my previous battle against Florent.

I cushioned his hand and said to him, gently.

"Just hold on, Scott. Our friends will arrive in a few seconds.,"

"Yeah…" Scott replied as he smiled.

It seems like my friends are about to arriving, because they have taken care the mob of Infectoids. And all I have to do is wait.
