Chapter 131: [Ending The Farce]

[London, United Kingdom]

Upon hearing August's voice and sensing his presence, Victor then suddenly felt chills all over his spine as he suddenly reacted towards such voice and immediately backed away with such a respect

After backing away, he then bowed down towards such person a little before replying back to his previous question, while showing respect as much as possible for the intended position

"August! Why are you here? Better yet why did you decide to go here?"

Facing a previous question with a very own question itself, August simply glanced at Victor before fully scanning the surrounding area as he answered

"For starters, its already quite weird for two of the group's members to suddenly head in this specific direction, plus I also knew that both you and Mark had some kind of a specific algorithm on your ability which could provide into a semi compass for your own, meaning both of you going here must have a meaning of some sort"

After saying those words, he then once more looked around as he suddenly realized one confusing variable

"Speaking of which... where is Mark? Is he hiding here somewhere? For some reason I couldn't sense his presence at all"

Hearing such a question, Victor then suddenly replied

"This... Mark... his dead"

"His dead? Did he got killed by this people right infront of you? That should be impossible unless your fighting someone strong in the organization like the head general himself" asked August

With such an assumption, Victor immediately cleared the misunderstanding as he replied

"No! He didn't get killed by this people right here, in fact he got done in by our very target herself"

"Our target? The child? Does that mean the rumor of her ability to wield life and death is true?" Asks August

"It seems so... but her powers has some kind of restriction on it" answered Victor

"Restriction? What kind of restriction?"

"For some reason it seems like her ability could only be used upon contact, meaning she needed to touch her specified target first before she could use the ability of life and death" explained Victor

"I see... looks like there isn't a perfect ability after all, every ability has it flaws just like mine"

Hearing August's voice, Ryuuji then for some reason got stunned on his place for some time as he witnessed the person himself talk about the current situation in this area

But as the talk goes on, Ryuuji then suddenly noticed that the topic of their talk suddenly shifted its attention towards Claire, causing him to be alerted to a particular degree

Lastly the moment he heard August stating his comment regarding Claire's flaw on her ability, he then suddenly realized the person's eyes darting towards Claire's direction causing all the hair on his back to stand on end as he suddenly realized the current flow of the situation

Without regarding for anything else, Ryuuji's thoughts suddenly flowed through his mind non-stop about how he should move forward and stop the very person infront of him from taking a step closer towards Claire

("Move! Move! Move! Damn it move!!!")

With the urge of his thoughts, Ryuuji dashed towards August as he raised up his sword Ifrit and slashed it down towards August direction

In that moment as if the time flow of the world had slowed down, Ryuuji then suddenly saw August calmly pulling up the sleeves of hi clothes as he revealed a huge open wound on his left arm where his own blood was coiling around it

Upon seeing such a grotesque sight, Ryuuji suddenlyfelt sick for a certain moment before heading back his urge to back away, no matter what he couldn't back now

In that slowed down moment, August simply revealed his bloodied arm into the air as he swung about his arm towards Ryuuji, causing his own blood to be thrown towards the said person's direction

As his blood made its way through the air and slightly making contact on Ryuuji's sword and face, August then simply snapped his fingers like a go signal and detonated his own blood like a bomb of some sort

In that approximate point blank range, a huge explosion then rung out in the area as Ryuuji got swallowed up by the explosion itself, causing the very air to vibrate from the aftershock of the attack

After that initial explosion, Ryuuji darted out from the explosion itself as he quickly stabbed his sword ifrit into the ground to completely anchor himself on his own location

Nevertheless he didn't got out of the explosion completely unscathed, in exchange for saving his own life, he somehow got half of his face burned to a certain degree as pain coursed all over the skin of his face causing him to grit in pain

But instead of taking a time off from that successful point blank explosion attack, August then suddenly threw on what seems like a sickle made out of blood towards Ryuuji's direction, causing the very person himself to suddenly dodged instinctively to the side, which opened up a huge opening on his battle stance

Without wasting such an opportunity, August quickly entered such huge opening beside Ryuuji and delivered a punch which was coiled around by his own blood and completely hitting clean on his sides

With such a boost of its strength, Ryuuji compiled felt a certain bone on his ribs suddenly cracked from the force of the punch causing him to arch in pain once more, yet he couldn't shout it out

But that didn't end there, as August successfully delivered his punch, he suddenly followed up with an instant point blank explosion once more causing Ryuuji to be blown away and crash towards the nearby tree of the resident area

In that short exchange August had completely wiped the floor off Ryuuji and easily defeating him under such situation

With a huge sigh of relief, he then turned towards Joana's dire tonight as he suddenly saw the very person herself putting up a shield to protect Claire and herself from August attacks

Seeing the wariness of the person herself, August then calmly walked towards her direction as he only had Claire on his sight
