Chapter 1165: Attack 1

It seemed like several electric poles on the street were malfunctioning. Some of them were blinking while the others turned dim occasionally. A few pedestrians walked past, a single car would drive by sometimes.

Both Saber One and Saber Two wore their blue and white school uniforms like regular students and walked home carrying their backpacks.

Saber One’s real name was Yuria. He was a fair-skinned cheerful youth with a beaming smile. Meanwhile, Saber Two’s name was Yurijie. Her hair was tied in two separate ponytails and she had features that were very similar to Saber One’s appearance. The only difference was that her skin was smoother and she was always quiet. She was inseparable from Yuria.

Both of them walked towards a street corner. There was a bar near the corner where the sound of quiet music echoed from inside while red light radiated out from there as well. A row of characters were etched beside the door. However, they were distorted which made it impossible to distinguish the words on it.

“How do you think the Head Minister managed to learn those skills? I found them insanely powerful. I don’t think I could necessarily beat him single-handedly.” Saber One Yuria was holding his cellphone and replying a text message from his friend when he randomly asked his younger sister.

“Who knows,” Saber Two was currently using her phone to take a selfie and preparing to send it to her circle of friends. She pouted while puffing out her cheeks to look cute.

“He was able to achieve strength of such a powerful degree despite being so young. I wonder what he’s like during actual combat?” asked Saber One listlessly.

“Actual combat?” Yurijie put her phone down and glanced at her older brother. “Are you still thinking about the previous incident?”

“Don’t tell me that you’ve forgotten?” Yuria asked a question in reply. “That man captured Big Sister Xue and then led Big Brother Lincoln out even though I was his true goal in the end,” he tugged at his hair. “I was targeted by this deviant for no reason. Sure enough, I can feel a great pressure…”

“Let’s make a police report,” Yurijie suggested.

“Would it even be useful? I’ve reported twice.” Yuria rolled his eyes. “Don’t tell me that I should really tell the cops that we’re actually not normal people and for the sake of world peace, an organization called Vulture has targeted us. Moreover, they want to capture and perform experiments on us? Do you think that the police would really believe nonsense like this?”

“That’s indeed a problem…” Yurijie nodded solemnly. “Then… why not find someone to help you instead?”

“Who could we look for? Please, actual combat and tournaments are two different matters. How many people out there have experienced actual combat in this day and age?” said Yuria helplessly.

“We could pay them and hire some mercenaries or something.”

“…you’ve read too many novels…” Yuria was speechless. “Moreover, how would we get access to channels like that?”

“Then what do you think we should do? We can’t just wait for them to ambush us again in the end, right?” Yurijie shrugged.

“What else can we do?” Yuria rubbed his chin. “Think about it, what would happen if our uncle hadn’t anticipated this day much earlier and allowed us to train with Big Brother Lincoln ever since we were little. The hunting skills that we learned from capturing wild boars and foxes were directly used in this aspect no matter how you look at it…”

“When you put it that way, it actually seems pretty accurate.” Yurijie’s mind had always been duller.

Both of them chatted while turning past a corner and walking into a byway alley. This was a shortcut that led directly to their house. They had walked through it countless times and had become completely familiar with it much earlier on.

However, something happened when they had just turned into the alley.

“Watch out!”

Yuria pulled his younger sister away suddenly to avoid an object that flew at them from the sky.

Shh!

That dark object penetrated the wall beside them quickly and actually sank into the depths of it.

Both of them were frightened to the point where their entire bodies were covered in cold sweat. When they looked at it closely, they noticed that it was a black lethal metal weapon that resembled an animal’s claw.

That lethal weapon had three fingers that penetrated the cement wall directly. It hooked itself deeply inside, digging out pieces of cement and plaster.

“Who was that?!” Yuria’s guard instantly rose to the highest level. He widened his eyes and stared closely at the dark spot in front of the alley.

Within the darkness, a silhouette that was two meters tall walked closer towards them gradually before revealing itself.

The figure actually belonged to a man whose entire body was wrapped in thick layers of clothes. He resembled a heavily wounded person who had just rushed out of the hospital. His entire body appeared swollen but was also enormous and sturdy at the same time. This gave off a cumbersome feeling.

The man’s face was the only part of him that was exposed. However, it caused Yuria’s entire body to stiffen instantly.

“Yuria, I let you escape the last time but that definitely won’t happen again this time…” The man’s voice was deep and rigid. It appeared that he was not human.

He moved one of his hands in a grabbing motion before numerous silver chains came crashing down. They shook and reflected faint silver light.

“Silver Chain…” Yuria’s expression turned grave immediately.

“You need to leave first.” He said to his sister softly.

“I can’t…” Beads of sweat trickled down Yurijie’s sideburns faintly. “There are people guarding the front and back of this place. I can sense the reflected light from the muzzle of a gun!”

“This is troublesome…” Yuria’s heart dropped.

Silver Chain took one step forward.

“This is merely a test…”

Whoosh!

His entire body charged forward. His imposing body was actually as agile as a wild wolf.

************************

Several minutes later, Saber One and Saber Two were both lying beside the wall on separate sides of the alley. Bright red blood snaked down their bodies and flowed down to form two red lines that could be seen clearly.

A metallic bloody scent wafted through the entire alley.

“Is this the strength of a Savior?” Silver Chain appeared colder than the last time. Neither of his two hands resembled human palms anymore. They had fully transformed into mechanical claws that twinkled with cold pallid light in the dark.

“Rumor has it that you can borrow the powers of others?”

Silver Chain walked towards Yuria who was lying on the floor.

“You’re too weak indeed. Legend has it that the strongest Savior can borrow the strength of a hundred men and achieve a terrifying, endless realm.”

Bang.

He walked beside Yuria and kicked him brutally once. The kick made a banging noise and caused Yuria to cough up a mouthful of blood violently.

“You, however, can only borrow the strength of less than three people, right? That’s really pitiful…”

“Don’t touch my brother!!” Yelled Yurijie who was not far away. She had never expected that Silver Chain, whose hands they barely managed to chop off, would actually become so strong within a short period of time that he was simply on another level now.

Never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that her brother would collapse so easily after merely a few short clashes.

Her brother was famous for his physical strength and could even borrow the strength of others. However, he was defeated so easily now!! This was unbelievable!

“If you want to fight… then fight me!” She supported her body tenaciously despite the fact that her lower abdomen was covered in blood that trickled downwards constantly.

Silver Chain turned his head before looking at Yurijie somewhat impatiently.

“Those who aren’t Saviors are completely worthless to us.”

He left Yuria’s side and walked towards Yurijie instead.

“Do you want me to kill you?”

Yurijie’s pupils constricted instantly. Despite the various types of training that she had undergone and the two deadly battles that she had experienced previously, she could still feel herself shivering when she was truly faced with death. Her heart compressed and tightened as well. She felt as if she was faintly gasping for air too.

“Don’t touch my sister!!” Yuria’s voice echoed behind them.

Silver Chain bared his teeth and smiled suddenly as he was about to speak.

Suddenly, a faint noise could be heard from the electric earpiece that he wore. He stopped in his tracks as if he was listening to something.

“Are you joking? Retreat?! Hahaha…” Silver Chain pinched something in one handful and smashed it abruptly before simply throwing it on the ground. “Both of my arms were broken and I almost died at the hands of these two disgusting little monsters. This is truly the best chance for me to take revenge but you’re actually asking me to retreat instead?!”

Bang!

A bullet hole appeared directly on the ground beside his feet suddenly.

“Huh?” Silver Chain lifted his head and looked in the direction of the marksman who was concealed outside the alley.

“You…are threatening me?”

There was a brief whooshing noise before he fled into the darkness like a large wolf in the dusky night.

Ahh!

A painful cry could be heard far away suddenly. Yuria and his sister took this opportunity to try their best to crawl to each other frantically.

“Go quickly! That guy isn’t human anymore. Half of his body has been fully modified into a machine! I couldn’t even move him at all when we were fighting!” said Yuria urgently. “Go look for Big Brother Lincoln quickly! Don’t make a police report!”

He supported Yurijie determinedly but his sister’s body seemed completely lifeless already. She barely stood up, and the wound on her abdomen burst open and blood began flowing out quickly.

Plop.

Both of them collapsed on the ground again. They could not get up again no matter how much they crawled this time.

“Eh? What are you two doing here? Having a forbidden incestous relationship between siblings?” A bored voice echoed through the entrance of the alley suddenly.

“Leader!””Head Minister!!”

When they saw Kong Xiaofei at the entrance of the alley, both of the people on the ground were instantly moved to the point where their eyes were brimming with tears.

They were finally saved!!

However, Yuria was suddenly filled with panic again when he remembered the current situation.

“Head Minister, help me call my cousin quickly!! This place is very dangerous so you should hurry up and leave!!”

“Saber One and Saber Two?” Garen walked into the alley with his eyebrows furrowed. He sniffed around before detecting the scent of something that was amiss.

“This is… the smell of blood…”

His expression stiffened quickly. He glanced at the brother and sister on the floor with worried looks on their faces. He was about to speak before he turned his head suddenly and looked at the other deep part of the alley.

“There’s a scoundrel who is hiding in the alley sneakily.” Garen’s gaze sharpened before he glared immediately at the two meter tall Cyborg named Silver Chain who was walking out of the depths of the alley slowly.

“Outsider… Leave on your own. Otherwise, die!” Silver Chain raised the sharp black claw in his hand that made a cold, hard noise.

The distance between them was less than three meters away. Garen’s hand grasped the hilt of the saber at his waist gently while Silver Chain’s hand tightened around the sharp black claw as if it could burst forth at any time.

The situation would break out at any moment.

Saber Two who was heavily injured on the ground covered the wound on her abdomen.

“… Head Minister?! How did he appear here suddenly?!” Saber Two Yurijie said softly in a faintly exhausted tone.

“We need to warn him and get him to leave quickly! That guy… is not someone that humans can withstand!” Saber One’s forehead was drenched in sweat. Three of his ribs were probably broken.

He understood now that this was a battle of the Four Great Cornerstones. Their opponent was a member of Vulture, a large organization that was specially created to capture the Four Great Cornerstones. They were an armed force that most people could not counter at all. It would be fine if they were the only ones here because they would not kill two of their own people easily as they were part of the Four Great Cornerstones. However, the circumstances would change when outsiders were involved… People like them did not take human lives seriously!

He could not drag other people into this!

While harboring these thoughts, Saber One grabbed his keys and flung them in Garen’s direction firmly.

“Get out of here quickly!!” He yelled while using his last ounce of strength.

The crashing noises of the keys echoed in the air.

However, something happened momentarily when the keys flew across the sky.

Clang!!

A ray of white light lit up as Garen drew his saber.
