Dziękuję Ci for the support Shamir , Aaron, and Victor.
“There's a sniper! There's a sniper aiming at us!”
“Oi, you guys! Set up a perimeter!”
This time, the filth organization Glory had planned to raid two cargo trucks and rob them of their belongings.
When the cargo truck left Tokyo, there was no escort in sight. After that, they kept a vigilant eye on the cargo truck for a while and finally they were convinced that it was safe to carry out their attack.
And yet, the attack is currently being thwarted.
“Why!? It was only a short while ago that we decided to attack from this place! Don’t tell me... there's an insider!? ...... No, gotta get out of this for now!”
Glory's boss was also upset by the sudden disturbance.
“AGHAH!?”
One more person was shot in the thigh and fell.
“Stay on your guard! The enemy is sniping at us! Locate him now!”
On the boss's orders, all members of Glory increased their vigilance against attacks coming from afar.
...unaware that the fierce predator was right next door...
“GO-BOH!?”
Suddenly, one of the Glory collapsed, his body hunched over by itself.
“ABESHI-H!?”
“What the hell!?”
“TAWA-BAH!?”
“SARE-BOH!?”
After that, one by one, the members of the group was downed after forming a ‘<’ shape themselves...
“What the hell!? What is it now!?”
The boss shouted out in impatience. However, in the end, he was also the head of a filth organization, albeit a small one. Keeping a cool head, he strained his eyes .....He saw space distort and something in the distortion moved to attack his members.
“There’s an invisible man! Strain your eyes! There's a spot that looks distorted just a little bit!”
Reacting to the boss's words, the other members of the team scrutinized their surroundings. But regardless of whether they could see or not, their eyes couldn't keep up with the speed...
In addition, while the invisible man was distracting them, they were still sniped by laser beams. Like that the Glory's members were killed one by one.
Seeing all the members cowering except himself, the boss knew the raid had failed.
He immediately switched his thoughts to survival. He knew the direction of the snipers to some extent. And as for the invisible man, he could just barely see him. So, while paying attention to the direction of the sniper's, he planned to intercept the moment the invisible man aimed at him with a counterattack and flee using that gap!
...The only sound he could hear was the sound of a cargo truck engine. He was being targeted by an unknown entity. And there are two enemies.
In a situation of absolute desperation, Glory's boss's concentration was sharpened to the limit….
!? A laser beam flew at him from afar! Reacting to it, the boss made sure that there was no transparent object in the direction he was avoiding and dodged the laser beam. ...But!
“UGYAH!?”
Suddenly, the boss was hit with a shock as if he had been slashed in the back.
It wasn’t a fatal wound…. But it wasn’t also a minor injury that would allow him to get up as if nothing had happened.
Footsteps were approaching him…. When he looked back, he saw that a human-shaped distortion was indeed walking towards me, though it was blending into the background.
“Wha…, What the hell are you? A person… Why us…?”
A transparent humanoid distortion revealed himself starting from his feet. The figure looked like a jet-black birdman.
“I am light within darkness, Bright... I am the one who slaughtered you.”
Darkflash Bright. Even Glory's boss had heard of him. Recently, he destroyed the Nerima branch of the NDF, and in doing so, he defeated Lieutenant Saejima. He was also rumoured to have defeated Nature Stranger's Red and Green, and is currently the main character of the gossips in the filths world.
“Ku…Kuroyume…”
“Indeed. I was ordered by Kuroyume to interfere with your attack this time.”
“You… Are you going to kill me?”
Bright is a brutal man. In addition to Saejima and the two Nature Strangers mentioned above, he had heard that he mercilessly killed a hundred soldiers of NDF.
Glory's boss was also prepared for his own death.
“…I won’t kill you. I don't like killing indiscriminately. But in the future, if you make any harmful moves against Kuroyume......then I will kill you. Do you understand?”
He’ll spare him!? Glory's boss, who saw hope, shook his head up and down violently.
...Afterwards, all the members of Glory were left alive, suspended in mid-air from poles and wires. In short, they were made an example of.
There is no way that all the members of Glory were there. Someone else will come along in a little while to check on them. If they ever see this scene, it will remind them never to go against Kuroyume...or the jet-black birdman.
Bright watched as the cargo truck resumed its safe operation, and then disappeared into space once again...
-Inside the hotel for standby use.
“You really let them all live, huh~. It's hard to believe this is the same guy who killed a hundred soldiers at the Nerima branch.”
When Bright came back to the waiting area, Takahiko, who had already completed his mission, was lying on the bed with his hood removed.
Bright also placed his hand on his belt again to cancel his transformation.
The rule that Kouki had asked Takahiko to follow this time. It was to not kill anyone.
“That time was ......no, not just that time. Maybe it's that after I'm revived by Revived Hunter, for some reason I get a strong urge to kill…”
“The urge to kill... ...Hey, why do you get the urge to kill every time you are revived?”
“I don't know about that, but…”
“...I just activated the God's Eye, but I couldn't get any information from your deep mind either. It's like I’m constantly being resisted…”
“...your God's Eye is pretty tacky, isn't it? Don't use it on me too much, okay?”
“But, well, there is some information that I can't see, like the question I just asked. I mean, the more complicated the question, the more information I can't see.”
The urge to kill.... That's no excuse for Kouki to have killed people in the past. He knew that better than anyone. That is why he usually try to refrain from killing as much as possible.
Perhaps that is the last drop of justice left in him? Or maybe it’s just an act of hypocrisy? He can't explain it himself.
He had already abandoned his dream of becoming a legitimate hero. Still, he doesn't want to be just another villain. If nothing else, he wants to be a dark hero so that he can at least be proud of himself. That's what he was thinking.
Author’s Note:
I made him get Silent Stealth just to do this! (LOL)
I think it's a good thing that it gives a slight impression of other works but actually different. (^_^;)
