Lory was in the middle of looking for Zhao Li Xin after ducking into the two soldiers guarding the vehicle when she was startled by the sound of a gun not far from her. Lory reflexively hid behind the wall when two soldiers ran to where the sound came from.
Lory looked straight at her and then realized they were running towards the hangar, Lory contemplated her decision for a moment she thought there was nothing to worry about Zhao Li Xin's situation considering his current power so Lory decided to follow them instead.
Lory followed the two men towards the hangar when she heard people arguing with loud voices, however, she refused to get involved in something she didn't know so Lory stealthily sneaked inside the hangar and then hid behind the tool cart after that she carefully watch the situation.
"Da*n traitor! after everything the country has given you, this is how you will return the favor!" cursed one of the soldiers while pointing his gun at him meanwhile, the person at the gunpoint did not waver at all instead standing confidently amongst the dead bodies of the three soldiers who he had been killed before.
"You finally found me, huh?" he said snorting in utter contempt.
Lory recognized the man as the owner of this place, but what surprised Lory was the appearance of a 'Gunblade' in his hand.
A Gunblade is a weapon created by its creator by combining a rifle with a sword, the weapon is then strengthened with magic power which is condensed into a crystal stone that becomes the source of the weapon's power.
The 'Creators' just like its name implied are a group of people who are able to see the flow of mana in the world so they are able to identify the strengths and weaknesses of Mana and create tools to manipulate that condition according to their will cause they can use mana directly like the gifted people could do.
The Gunblade itself is not a weapon that can be given to just anyone because it must be adapted to the ability of the owner otherwise it will be fatal to the user, it's a long and intricate process even for the creator standard and that special weapon was called 'Dragna'
Because of that, anyone who can get his hands on Dragna can't be just ordinary people because as far as Lory knows there are more or less fifty people who possessed Dragna, and their identities are very well hidden, that being the case, who is this person? Lory's eyes lit up with curiosity.
"Time to die, Albrecht!" another soldier roar then transforms his gun into a dagger.
Lory, who was peeking from afar, was stunned but then excited to see two Dragna possessors fighting each other up close! even in the past Lory had only fought against Dragna's power once and if it wasn't for Girsha's protection and her healing power she would have been seriously injured or perhaps died, though in her defense she was only fifteen at that time.
pandasnovel.com However Lory notices the other soldier using a normal weapon, well it's not normal but it's not Dragna. The guy fired continuously at the guy called Albrecht while the other guy who also got Dragna lunged at Albrecht.
Albrecht swung his sword to block the bullet then he jumped backward to put a pause between himself and his enemy before striking back by brandishing his sword at his enemy's dagger and the two weapons clashed causing a loud echo.
The gust of wind pushed all the stuff inside the hangar including the tool cart where Lory was hiding, because of that Lory was forced to find another hiding place, luckily she found a pile of card box immediately she roll herself behind it.
Lory's head peeked behind the card box, instead of feeling worried or anxious her face brimming with anticipation of how the fight go on.
'Wow, this is so cool! Lory cheered inside, too bad Zhao Li Xin didn't see this Lory could already imagine how Zhao Li Xin's handsome face would light up if he was here.
Lory wants to call Zhao Li Xin but then remembers that her cell phone doesn't work in this remote place, Lory scratches her head feeling very remorseful but nothing she could do now so her eyes darted back to the scene before her, who knew he would be presented with full action scenes the only thing she was missing was Zhao Li Xin and popcorn!
Suddenly a giant wheel of the plane flew right at her and then passed above her head, Lory rolled to the side then crawled on the floor to find another hidden place cause this spot it's getting dangerous. Luckily she found a pile of carts, tools, and boxes that fell together because of the fierce battle Lory quickly took a hiding position behind it.
Lory saw a lot of stuff fly away in her direction and she almost got hit a few times if she wasn't nimble enough to dodge it, afterward Lory let out a heavy sigh thinking perhaps this was her retribution for taking this situation as some sort of entertainment, maybe next time she should just go to the movie theater if she wants to see some action.
A moment later, the fight began to approach the final round with Albrecht managing to incapacitate the soldier who shot him by cutting off his gun together with his hand and then using his body as a shield.
The poor man's chest was pierced by his friend's sword but that did not reduce his opponent's persistence instead he continued to pierce the sword until it penetrated his friend's body still his attack become slower.
Seeing the opportunity Albrecht changed his sword into a gun and then shot at his ferocious enemy, their close range did not give him enough time to dodge the bullet as a result of which the bullet penetrated his right shoulder, the stabbing pain made him drop his weapon.
Albrecht released another shot then and the last shot lands the bullet right in the middle of the man's forehead, blood spurts from the back of the man's head a second later the man falls on the floor with an unreconciled expression yet the fight has ended with the victory by Albrecht.
After everything calmed down suddenly fatigue seized him and his body shook violently from the shock of using Dragna after such a long time, Albrecht let out a deprecating laugh at his foolishness for neglecting his training.
He thought he has hidden well though the voice at the back of his head keep remind him this is not for forever yet he ignore it because he doesn't want to do this anymore, he doesn't want to be killed anymore.
"Oh, it's been a long time since I held Dragna with my own hand"
Albrecht was utterly shocked and all his trained senses tensed and he aimed his weapon at the sound.
Albrecht was surprised to see a red-haired woman casually playing with Dragna, he then recognize that woman as his new client that just come a few hours ago, and his suspicion rose he immediately connect her as one of the ghost soldier members.
Lory was not surprised by Albrecht's reaction but she doesn't care cause her all attention was drawn to the special weapon in her hand.
'It's not bad craftsmanship'
Since Lory was almost defeated by Dragna, she began to learn everything about the weapon, even using the privilege of being Harland's princess to persuade N.I.M.S to make Dragna a training tool for her and Lucas, who would have thought her request was approved so easily by her Father.
"You also part of the ghost soldier?" there's a slight doubt in his voice still he's not lowering his gun.
Lory finally avert her eyes from the Dragna then she looks at him with playful eyes "Do I look like a soldier to you?"
Albrecht narrowed his eyes "There are many types in that rotten place, how would I know you're not one of them?"
Lory shrugged nonchalantly "I guessed you wouldn't know, but it's that even matter?" Lory grinned.
Albrecht's eyes darkened "You're right it's doesn't matter" he pulled the trigger but then someone slipped behind his back then grabbed him by the neck, out of nowhere Albrecht felt an intense burning creep from his neck then spread through all his body, caught by surprised he accidentally dropped his weapon.
Zhao Li Xin squeeze Albrecht's neck tightly and then pressed him down on his knees [I could kill him anytime...] Zhao Li Xin hissed coldly without any emotion show on his face as if he was about to kill a bug or ants.
