Kamiya took control over his heavy breathing technique. Reon and Hitori had stepped forward but no one dared to reach out to Kamiya when he dropped his head back, opened his arms, and shouted, "It is war!"
Kamiya banged the tiles with dead-serious eyes. Kamiya looked down at the ground, he picked up a handgun that was lying on the ground.
Hitori and Reon took a step back when Kamiya rose from the ground with Onogi's gun in his hand, "it is a fucking war!"
Shot!
When Kamiya fired, he shot down a wet specimen of a black slender snake. Kamiya did not stop there, he moved all around the wet specimens' display and shot down every single specimen.
He stopped. Kamiya looked down, "fuck…" he grunted. When he stopped, Reon started.
She reloaded her gun and aimed it at the equipment's closet and started the open fire.
Hitori did not wait either. He turned around and aimed at the windows and the chemicals' cupboard.
Because of constant firing at the chemicals, a few were caught on fire and exploded. The trio had turned the whole lab upside down, it turned from a lab to nothing.
Kuzu kept his mobile on a new table in front of him, he took his seat on a chair.
After his laughing session where he felt as if he had taken over the whole gaming world, Kuzu had calmed down and got back to the business.
He inserted his own card into the socket and started the game, "it is the time to meet you." Kuzu muttered as the game loaded.
His inbox flashed with numerous death threats from other players from whom he stole items, messages from his peers, and business messages.
But Kuzu ignored all of the messages and opened his chat with Hitori. He stared at the chat for a few seconds before changing his plan.
He opened his chat with Kamiya and texted, "Tell your partner, Hitori, to meet me outside the dungeon. We are meeting in one minute."
When Kamiya received the message, he froze. He told Hitori and Reon immediately. They both helped him cope with the fear.
"Kuzu… he is scarier than Onogi."
"I know." Reon agreed with Kamiya.
The trio renamed the dungeon 'The Lab Dungeon' and exited out from the same entrance.
Hitori turned around to glance at the entrance. The statue was wearing glasses and the red vines had turned black. Hitori chuckled.
"When is he coming?" Hitori asked Kamiya. He glanced at the time.
"Anytime," Kamiya reported.
They still had time so they decided to divide their treasure.
"The treasure will be divided into three shares?" Hitori opened what he had acquired.
"Maybe… you guys should keep the gems and the money. I do not need the money." Reon shook her hands.
Hitori shrugged, "seven thousand two hundred and ten yen yours, Kamiya. The rest is mine." Hitori flashed a smile, "I would like these fire gems… to feed Fierce."
"Reon, take his unlimited bullets gun," Kamiya gave Reon Onogi's clone's gun.
"This… ice element affinity… Kamiya, take it." Hitori handed Kamiya the ice element affinity which would grant him the ability to use ice element spells.
"Hitori-san, I have got this chemical and a skill…"
"Which is not of our use. Keep it."
"What is it, by the way?" Kamiya was interested.
"Chemical Hazard." Reon read the skill's name followed by the description, "it allows the user to use chemical weapons."
Kamiya stood straight with wide eyes. Hitori stared at Reon solemnly.
"And I have obtained a Pulmonary agent– it is a chemical agent." then she realized that the mages are not aware of a chemical agent, "this gas will choke anyone who inhales it to death."
"Oh~" Kamiya nodded.
"Five hundred liters of Phosgene gas… very dangerous."
"W- well, that is amazing." It was getting out of Hitori's league.
In the courtyard formed by trees and walls, pixels formed and two players appeared in front of Hitori and the others.
Kamiya took a step back when Kuzu's face came into view. Kuzu stared at Kamiya and Hitori while Uragi stared at Reon and Hitori.
"I will get directly to the point… why did you attack this dungeon?"
"Hah?" Reon frowned, "were not you the one who gave him the key—" she stopped when Kuzu glared at her with his sharp yellow eyes.
"I told you… did not I?" but Hitori was indifferent, he was not scared of Kuzu– well, maybe a little, "you need to get better at both scrap picking and deceiving."
Kuzu grunted. He clenched his fists but did not make a move. He saw that everyone was equipped from Hitori's group.
Hitori pulled out a thin key and walked near Kuzu, "keep your key." Hitori whispered near Kuzu. He felt like smashing Hitori's head.
Hitori turned around, "Onogi-san is very angry… thought you ought to know about it."
Hitori stopped when he reached the other side and glanced at Kuzu from over his shoulder, "who is Onogi-san?"
Uragi chuckled. Hitori turned to Uragi and Kuzu glared at him, "and who are you?" Hitori pointed at Uragi.
"Yeah… who and why are you with Kuzu?" Kamiya lifted his finger at Uragi too.
Kuzu's arm sprung up to stop Uragi from moving, "we still have… eleven hours before the battle." Kuzu muttered, "and I will keep my words."
Then Kuzu lifted his glare at Kamiya, "you have got a little too brave, have not you?" Kuzu frowned at Kamiya, "is this courage because of your friends?"
Kamiya dropped his head down and did not reply. His tooth slowly sat over his lower lip and tore it slightly– yes, even in the game.
"And what if it is because of his friends?" Hitori stepped in front of Kamiya and stared right into Kuzu's eyes, "what will you do? We are already at war with you,"
"And we still have eleven hours," Reon joined with trembling legs. Kuzu clicked his tongue.
"I would not do anything… Onogi-san will do it." Kuzu looked away, "do you think Onogi-san will leave you alive?"
"Again…" Hitori took a step forward, "who is this Onogi-san?" Kuzu tightened his muscles, "let us leave, guys." Hitori walked back to Kamiya and Reon.
"Fuck, let us kill them right now!" Uragi urged Kuzu to take a step but Kuzu shook his head.
"You will have to wait eleven hours." Uragi did not give a single fuck about the personal things, the personal dispute between Kamiya and Kuzu, he just wanted to kill Hitori and ban his account.
"Hitori, we will need to re-arrange this dungeon first," Kamiya said, totally ignoring Kuzu's presence.
"Yeah, let us go then." Hitori was about to step into the mouth when Kuzu shouted.
"Kamiya!" Hitori and Reon turned but Kamiya did not, "you little piece of fucking shit…" Uragi grinned when Kuzu took a step forward with a tight frown.
Kamiya tightened his fists and tried his best not to break out again.
"Have you told your partners?" Kuzu did not stop, he strode, "have you told your fuckings friends what Onogi-san had did to your—"
"Shut up!" Kuzu, surprisingly, shouted. It was a shock for Kuzu though, "you have no right to speak any further."
"Oh, I fucking have." Kuzu pulled a sharp dagger out, "looks like you have not told them, maybe I will tell them." Kuzu raised his voice, "shall I?!"
Kamiya trembled. Hitori glanced between him and Kuzu. Kamiya released his right hand's fist and pulled out his finger. With hesitation, Kamiya raised his right hand above his head and pulled down the rest of the fingers.
Reon's eyes went wide when she saw Kamiya's slender middle finger. A grin spread on Hitori's face, he shook his head.
"Fuck you, Kuzu."
"You motherfucker—"
clang.
Hitori drew his katana and stretched the blade to Kuzu's neck. Reon pulled her gun at Kuzu's head, then she cocked her gun.
Kuzu had to come to a sudden stop. His neck muscles popped with anger. He glanced at Reon who was trembling then glanced at Hitori who stood straight without any fear in his eyes… only anger.
Clank.
Uragi drew his sword.
"Not here, not right now." Hitori shook his head.
Kuzu stared into Hitori's eyes, trying to plant fear in Hitori's heart. "Yeah, you still have eleven hours…" Kuzu took a step back, "come on, we are leaving." Kuzu turned to Uragi.
Hitori pulled his katana back, Reon sighed in relief, "let us go, Kamiya." Hitori patted Kamiya's back.
Kuzu and Uragi were about to step out of the courtyard when Kuzu came to a stop and turned around.
"Hey, Hitori!"
"Hey, Kuzu…" Hitori did not turn around.
Reon giggled and Kamiya chuckled.
"Tch," Kuzu was irritated, "how many men do you have?" Hitori turned his head, "I will tell you how many I have…" he clearly wanted to scare Hitori and literally make him lose his confidence, and eventually, drain his attitude.
Hitori had a nice chance of knowing his enemy's total men. And there was no harm telling their men because it was already clear. He, Reon, and Kamiya.
So Hitori replied, "well…" Hitori spread his arms, "three."
Kuzu frowned once again, 'I was asking seriously tough.' Kuzu clenched his fists.
"How many do you have?" Hitori asked.
Kuzu lifted his head with an angry expression, "well…" he spread his right arm, "Two."
