Chapter 324
The surrounded Executioner continued to wait for the three to attack . Even though he could end this battle in a flash, now that he had some of his restraints removed, he didn"t do so since he wasn"t sure if he might accidentally kill the three . Now that Richter ordered him to bring the three back alive, he just couldn"t attack carelessly . Also he didn"t really like the idea of ending the battle too quickly . Seeing as this was the first time he would be able to use at least seventy percent of his strength he wanted to get a better feel of it .
The Executioner would always do his job in the most efficient way possible . Seeing as his job was just basically killing traitors, he just needed to kill his opponents in one strike . He was also ordered to show the opponent fear before death, so sometimes he needed to slowly approach the opponent, and once it was established that he was getting scared, the Executioner would kill the enemy .
Yet now he was ordered to capture people alive . This was something new to him, so for now he planned to toy with his enemies until they show an opening giving him the chance to make them faint .
. . .
Joseph was the first to move as he threw a grenade . The Executioner using the scythe as a baseball bat swatted the grenade towards Raphael who shot it down in mid-air . This one move was the signal for the start of the battle .
Raphael and Joseph started shooting at the Executioner who simply lowered his stance to evade the initial shots, and then swayed his body back and forth to evade the others . He then noticed that Oliver had gotten close enough to slash at him . The Executioner scooped a large amount of water from the rice field he was standing on and threw it at Oliver"s face .
Due to Oliver being extremely tense and wary, when he saw the Executioner move he was about ready to counter . So when the water was about to get close to his face Oliver did a chopping motion trying to slice the water . This gave the Executioner an opening to attack . The Executioner spun like a top and was about to hit Oliver in the face using the shaft of the scythe .
Oliver let go of his sword and blocked the attack with his right hand . When he felt how strong the attack was he immediately used his other hand to block as well . Oliver was able to stop the strike and got hold of the Scythe"s shaft . Oliver then tried to steal the Executioner"s scythe .
When Oliver tried to pull it away he couldn"t even make the scythe budge from the Executioner"s hands, it was stuck onto the Executioner"s hands . Oliver who was taller and had a bigger frame than the Executioner was confused as to how come he was being outmatched in strength .
"Is he using something similar to Alex"s RELEASE technique?" When Oliver was about to change tactics he felt his body being lifted up . The Executioner was actually able to lift the scythe up alongside Oliver . The Executioner was then about make a move, when Oliver suddenly tried to strike him with a kick . The Executioner moved the scythe making Oliver who was holding onto it miss his target .
While the two were fighting in close combat, Raphael silently snuck behind the Executioner . He created a spear using his outer nanomachines, and was about to strike but then the he felt an arm gripping his neck . The Executioner already noticed him coming near, and just waited until he was close enough to grab onto Raphael"s neck .
Joseph who saw that both Oliver and Raphael were caught by the enemy threw a flash grenade right in front of the Executioner . Seeing the incoming flash grenade the Executioner threw Raphael"s body towards the grenade pus.h.i.+ng it back towards Joseph . The flash grenade exploded hurting Raphael a bit and making both him and Joseph slightly disoriented .
While he was distracted by Raphael and Joseph, the Executioner felt pain at his right hand . He looked and saw Oliver biting his hand like a wild animal . The Executioner even when his hand had Oliver"s teeth being sunk in, didn"t lighten his grip on his scythe .
Oliver then wrapped his whole body onto the Executioner"s hand and wanted to break it, but even using his whole body"s weight he couldn"t move even one hand of the Executioner .
At this moment the Executioner already knew that he could easily capture Oliver and the others, but he felt like it was a waste . He then whispered to himself, "This isn"t enough . " Oliver didn"t hear what the Executioner said, but he felt like the person was mocking him . Oliver let go of the Executioner"s hand then took out a gun he hid and pointed it at the Executioner"s head and pulled the trigger .
The Executioner even in such a close distance was actually able to catch the bullet with his mouth and spitted it out .
"What the f*ck are you?!" Oliver couldn"t believe his eyes, when he saw this . "Does this monster have any weaknesses at all?" Oliver then started shooting at the Executioner"s face . He shot and shot until all the bullets have been used, but as expected even in this distance the Executioner was able to evade with ease . After shooting the last bullet, Oliver charged forward and threw a punch with all of his weight behind it .
The Executioner was going to deflect the strike, but when he tried he was pleasantly surprised to see that it was too strong for him to deflect . The Executioner then instead disrupted Oliver"s balance by kicking his s.h.i.+n . Once Oliver was off balanced he felt a pinch to the back of his head and lost consciousness .
. . .
The Executioner made all three of his targets faint, and then proceeded to inject them with Propofol . When the Executioner saw the unconscious body of the three he felt slightly disappointed . The fight with Kris was harder than this . Still a mission was a mission and he had completed his perfectly .
"Time to head back to base . "
