Secret Ultimate Skill: Son-Ending Kick!
"You were hiding in a pile of corpses this whole time. If you hadn't run into us by sheer bad luck, you might actually have escaped, you remnant of White Town."
"Why are we wasting time talking to him? Just kill him. Find the stuff and get out of here!"
"Kid, blame your bad luck."
One of the soldiers sneered as he raised his gun and aimed it at Luo.
They felt not the slightest guilt!
They just thought that Luo being alive was a nuisance and an eyesore.
With nowhere left to run, Luo gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred and resentment!
He hated how weak he was, and hated even more the inhuman executioners who had slaughtered everyone in Freyvans.
Is everything going to end here? I haven't gotten revenge on this hopeless world yet. I refuse to accept this!
As the soldier slowly squeezed the trigger, countless images suddenly flashed through Luo's mind: his father, his mother, his sister, Sister Mary, and his friends from the church.
But at that moment, no one noticed a figure quietly creeping up behind the soldier who was about to fire.
The [Leg Strength Enhancement Shoes] instantly shifted to the highest Gear Three setting. With the acupuncture points in his feet stimulated by both electricity and magnetism, the strength in his right leg reached its limit.
Secret Ultimate Skill: Son-Ending Kick!
Abel summoned all his strength and kicked hard between the soldier's legs!
The kick was truly earth-shattering!
Not because of its power, but because of the horrific consequences it caused.
For a split second, it was as if something had shattered.
The soldier Abel had ambushed felt a sharp pain between his legs. Then, as if all the strength had been drained from his body, he turned pale, his eyes bulged, and he dropped to his knees, drooling.
The pain was already unbearable, yet all he could do was open his mouth wide in a silent scream.
It was agony beyond anything imaginable!
Just like that, the man passed out from the pain and toppled over, his vision going black.
It had all happened in a flash. The other soldier and Luo, who had been waiting to die, both stared in a daze.
They couldn't understand why there was anyone else here. And that kick had looked so painful that they couldn't help clenching their legs together.
In that situation, even though Abel had used [I Am Just a Passerby] beforehand, it no longer worked. He couldn't possibly be ignored now. Lowering his presence wasn't the same as actually turning invisible!
But Abel, having landed his surprise attack, didn't freeze up like they did, nor did he try to pick up the gun lying on the ground.
Instead, he tossed the object in his hand at the other soldier.
That finally snapped the man out of his stupor!
He instinctively rolled to the side and dodged it perfectly. A banana.
That's right. What Abel had just thrown was a banana.
"Looking to die!"
The soldier flew into a rage. He was also furious with himself for being so jumpy just then.
He'd actually been fooled by that brat!
He immediately stood up and raised his gun, aiming it at—
"Huh? Where is he?"
"Get down!"
Abel had already taken the chance to hide. Seeing Luo still standing there like an idiot, all he could do was shout.
Whether Luo would understand what he meant was up to fate.
Fortunately, Luo wasn't stupid, and he'd already recognized Abel. He immediately obeyed, throwing himself forward and hitting the ground.
Then, a second later, the banana suddenly exploded not far from the soldier's feet!
With a boom, it blasted him into the air.
The man probably died without ever understanding what had happened.
Only Abel silently mourned the five Trade Points he'd spent on the [Banana Grenade].
But judging by its power and how well it had fooled the soldier, it was worth it.
After all, who would be afraid of a banana and try to stay away from it?
The feeling of killing someone for the first time wasn't pleasant. But for Abel, who had opened his eyes to find himself lying among countless corpses, it wasn't as hard to accept as he'd imagined.
Bang!
Just then, a gunshot caught his attention.
He turned and saw that Luo had picked up the gun from the ground and shot the unlucky soldier who'd been blown up, his face twisted with fury.
A terrifying, keep-away-from-me aura radiated from Luo. In the space of a single day, he had endured the unbearable despair of his parents being killed, his sister being burned alive, and Sister Mary and all his fellow church members being shot.
It was too much for a ten-year-old child to bear.
"How did it feel to kill someone for the first time?"
Abel slowly took the gun from Luo's hand, his tone unreadable.
He took the weapon in case Luo suddenly snapped and hurt him.
As for why he'd ultimately decided to save Luo, it was because he thought the future Supernova was worth investing in, and the cost to himself would be negligible.
He believed that as fellow survivors of Freyvans, and as friends from the same church, Luo would remember this life-saving favor for the rest of his life.
It was a somewhat self-serving way of thinking, but Abel didn't feel the least bit embarrassed.
He wasn't anyone's father. If you saved someone without expecting anything in return, what were you expecting?
Luo didn't answer Abel's question right away, but he also didn't stop Abel from taking the gun.
That was undoubtedly good news.
Abel didn't want the person he'd saved to be a lunatic who couldn't be reasoned with and was bent on self-destruction. At least Luo hadn't reached that point yet.
Luo took a few deep breaths. Some of the emptiness and numbness in his eyes faded before he finally spoke. "It feels awful...but it won't stop me."
"Abel, why are you here? Back then, I clearly saw Sister Mary and everyone else..."
At that, Abel's face took on just the right expression of hatred. "Those bastards tricked Sister Mary. It was a trap to lure us into walking right into their hands. Everyone was shot. I was hit and fell during the chaos, then I blacked out. When I woke up, I found that someone had dumped me here. This precious protective suit saved my life."
"Luo, thank goodness you didn't come with us. Otherwise, we might not have met again here. By the way, how did you survive?"
Luo pulled down his hat and recounted his own experience, his expression pained. "Everyone died. My mom and dad...and my sister, who was hiding in the hospital. In the end, I hid among the corpses and was taken here, but they still found me. If you hadn't saved me, I might have been reunited with my family by now."
Sometimes, being alive was more painful than being dead.
The only thing keeping Luo going now was revenge!
Revenge on this twisted, hopeless world!
After hearing each other's stories, the two fell silent for a while.
