Moth and the Note

With both men killed, Ace finally entered the tent where he found the leader of the bandit lair led to wait for him with a smile gracing his bald hideous face.

"Well, I knew I didn't have lights with me but I didn't think that a simple man with no Power could kill them all." The man shook his head with a sigh.

"You are the leader if I am not mistaken" Ace was careful, the man one side of him is a power user, and he may be at the second stage which is the core stage.

"You're quick-witted, yes I'm the boss, my name is Moth but you don't need to give me your name because I already know you, Ace"

The man slowly approached Ace as he continued to smile as if he knew everything.

Ace opened his eyes wide when he heard his name from the man's mouth, as he pulled back a little.

Ace calmed down again as he assessed the situation in front of him, he has an iron sword in his hands and some pretty sturdy equipment on him, the problem? the Power user in front of him ...

'I have to get him to lose his attention.' Ace thought about it and finally came up with a plan to beat Moth.

"Listen Ace, there's no point in thinking, you're just going to die for me now! Simple technique: Physical augmentation!" Moth said hoarsely as he rushed over to Ace, augmenting his physical abilities via a Power technique.

An extremely violent fist moved towards Ace who had only the reflex to dodge the blow inextricably as Moth's fist pulled into the tent, sweeping the tent.

The punch created a gust of wind that propelled Ace a few feet away.

Ace easily regained his balance as he started to have a small smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Are you a Power user who focuses only on the physical?" Ace said as he watched Moth approach him.

Moth didn't take him seriously at all and walked slowly over to Ace as he smiled hideously.

"Yes, but that doesn't change a thing you're still going to die here haha" Moth moved with inhuman speed as he landed in Ace's stomach.

Ace was thrown away and crashed into a tent and then the logs that serve as the defense of the bandit's hideout.

* Blurggh *

Ace spat blood as he held his stomach, but what was most important was that a smile graced his face.

Moth moved quickly over to Ace and saw him smile "You are about to die and still smiling? At least you will have had a good fight haha" as he approached Ace, Ace spoke laughing.

"Die? Ahah, Physical Power users really are the most arrogant, look at yourself, I see you're in worse shape than me, Moth" Ace pointed at Moth's stomach with a victorious smile on his face.

"What?" Moth then looked at his body and what he saw shocked him.

An iron sword was sticking it in his stomach as he bled profusely through the puncture of the weapon.

Ace took the moment of inattention for an opportunity as he drew on this strength from High-Human and charged Moth at high speed.

Ace quickly came to Moth's level as he punched him in the throat and then used his legs to break Moth's kneecaps.

"Arrrrg" Moth screamed in pain as he fell to the floor with the sword still in him, blood escaping from his mouth like a high tide.

Ace leaned close to Moth and asked him, "How do you know me?"

But Moth just looked him in the eye, before smiling strangely.

"Do you think you won * blurgh *? I think * arg * I think you lost ... the battle, Sergeant Ace"

Moth coughed up blood as he tried to speak but his odd smile still didn't leave him.

"What are you talking about ?" Ace didn't understand but the same feeling grabbed his stomach as he started to have a bad premonition.

"* Urgh * You know Ace, I'm not following alone, you should leave quickly or else it might happen ... something bad for your ... friends" to that last sentence Moth died as blood flowed from everyone its orifices.

Ace pulled away from Moth's lifeless body as he looked around, wondering in his head a question "what was he talking about?"

He walked over to the remains of the moth tent where the two corpses of the bandits were still but what he noticed were the sheets of paper on the ground.

Ace picked up a half-torn, soiled sheet of paper and read it.

Suddenly his eyes narrowed, anguish was visible all over Ace's face, as he ran off as fast as he could despite the wound in the abdomen from Moth's stroke.

On the paper was written:

"We have discovered the source of a power leading to the black energy, in a village of Zisè, the village chief is called Lupo.

Power would come from a little girl named Mia.

Attack order.

From the Black organization "
