Chapter 23

KOUSUKE

"So no boobies now?" Kazehaya squirm in pain when Kyoya stamp his foot whit his hammer.

"Could you please shut up? I'll put nipples on your mouth straight ahead if you don't shut the fuck up," Kyoya exclaimed this is why I don't want to be tangled with him. Because of his hot temper. Boy you sure are preparing yourself for a stressful suicide if this man is in front of you.

Kazeha instantly hands up telling him that he surrenders. I looked at Axel and he is skeptical upon looking at the cell number five.

"Are you sure about this?" Axel asked me and I nodded.

"Yes, the merchant says follow our heart but it's just our minds that are connected not our hearts. But if you don't want to we can discuss it here and vote," I stated and he just waves his hand.

"There is no need for that. I kind of want him too but he is a reckless one. Okay let us choose him," he stated and I was a bit surprised because of his little bit of kindness. I don't know why but from the start of our meeting he doesn't like me. I can feel it the way he looks at me but now it is totally different.

Being the captain, Axel is the one who pin point he cell number five.

A virtual robotic female voice announced as Axel tab the number five bar.

'Spade also known as Death Chanter is now successfully yours.'

As the voice gone the we heard the rusty metallic cell opened. And he showed up.

"Boys! Thank you!" he exclaimed and I was shock because of his sudden attitude. He opened his shirt and massage his boobs.

I don't know if we did the right thing after all and as I look at Axel his face was dark and I can't look at him.

"Boys! You sure you don't want the other boobies here? I got no boobs ya know? But I can save you," he wink and from the second floor from where he was standing he jump and landed with full of force into the ground.

Death Chanter 'Spade' Background

There was once a tale, going around the Land of Twilight about a musician. No one ever knew from where he came from or where he was headed. But one thing is for sure, he is trouble.

Spade was orphaned during the war between Land of Twilight and Land of Saga. He was picked up by the imperial army and then sent to the monastery of Light Hope. Similar to all orphans, Spade was silent and isolated. He never showed much feelings through his cold eyes. However since a young age, spade greatly enjoyed playing his flute, he loves music and greatly enjoyed it. But the way he plays his flute comes sinister until the music ended.

During their growth, every orphan in the monastery has two options for their future, on adulthood; to be a demon hunter, living by completing the secret and dangerous tasks assigned by the empire or to be a servant of the monastery, doing the cleaning and washing for a lifetime. To everyone's surprise. Spade choose guns and his flute at the same time, meaning that he would choose both options. More precisely, he would choose neither of them. He abhorred war and demons, to which he lost his family and home, thus he wouldn't hesitate to be a hunter. Flute, however, meant a lot of him as they soothed his misery and nightmares.

Since spade handled guns for the first time, he had consistently exceeded the expectations in both practice and real-time combat. He was a perfectionist in both solo and synchronized teamwork.

Soon after he took the lead among the demon hunters. Even the X-level tasks were not a big deal to him. It's said that his gun fire speed and bullet accuracy could exceed anything, far beyond one's imagination, especially the power of the last bullet of each of his magazine, which contained explosives and upon contact, cause enormous damage and near-death injuries. Impressed by his efficiency and abilities. One of the legendary heroes admired and respected him. Even female assassins wanted to be his partner.

He remains one of the most fiercest gunrunner in the monastery of Light Hope with great combat techniques and a strong, advanced sense of avoiding danger. In order to pursue the pleasure of killing demons and completing task quickly, Spade would often give the most fatal attacks to his enemies. His bullets were like secret order, chasing the enemies like a missile. When all six bullets of his magazine, hits the target, the fallen enemy would feel the horror of Death Chanter's guns, before realizing their life slip away.

The news about the Death Chanter soon spread among the demons. As long as they heard a horribly sinister melody of his flute, they would escape with haste otherwise, it would not augur well form them. After all a painful death awaited. Eventually, music and firearms became his most loyal partners and with his Death Chanter of flute, a weapon specifically forged for defeating demons, he was an opponent that no one wanted to meet. Not only was he good at hiding behind a cover, but also was he proficiently good at shooting, from a great distance. Burst shot from close range and precise shots from a distance were the most common ways for Spade to attack. Every time his melody ended, there will be demon or an enemy defeated. Naturally, with this kind of reputation, he was considered as the death rose in the Land of Twilight.

"Boys boys boys I know what are you thinking of me but that story background of mine is just as fake as all of us right now. Stories stories like bla bla bla tell me about it," Spade stated as we take our teleportation to get out of the dungeon, we are now taking the next level.

"So, the rumors are true huh," Kazehaya said and Spade look at him in surprise. Spade is a good looking guy, he was indeed specially made girls would totally fall for him if he would not speak because it is a total fuck off, it's a turn off.

"Rumors? What rumors huh? Tell me, tell me about it. Rumors like I'm good looking and as hot as af?" he exclaimed and I am starting to regret my decision. Axel is also silent and I guess he was a bit disappointed of our choice. This is totally the merchants fault, he fooled us. This death chanter keeps chanting like a woman.

"How far is these teleportation thing?" Kyoya suddenly asked and I can feel that he was also irritated.

"You don't know? We will be here until five squads completed the task but if after one hour and only few squads completed the task we will go to the next level," Spade stated and Axel looked at him in disbelief.

"What? So you are telling me we will be here in this dizziness for an hour? That was just a piece of cake out there how come those squads are slow?" Axel irritably exclaimed and brush his hair.

I remember Ryuzaki and Mary, did they complete the task?

"Well as you can see as you choose we are complete and you are the first squad to choose. So there are four to go, sad but true we can't do anything about it. So hey, Kazehaya let's get back to the rumors what are they?" he exclaimed and I can't help but to face palm myself. We were the first squad so it means Ryuzaki and Mary are still out there fighting.

"Duh, rumors about you heroes are real humans trapped here and once you are the one who companies the squad who can open the vault you will be back to normal. Aren't they true huh?" Kazehaya straightly asked him and Spade turned silent and become serious.

Even though the four of us cant talk in front of him, I know what they are thinking.

"I'm a player like you as well, I played when I was seven and I was so addicted to it. Even my mom scolded me that playing games won' t do me better in the future. She was right but I was a kid and I was hard headed. This is the right thing for me, I lost hope for someone who could open the vault I mean how many years and still we are trap. The other heroes out there in the cell, they are just like me. They are trap. We don't know why and we don't know how. But I know our bodies are just inside in the Olympus, we are there also in a cell. Our parents thought we are dead but I dream to be back in normal and so are them. But in our situation, I want to die. I want to die badly so they can get rid of me. So I can rest, my body is weak. I've been here for years and I am weak. Death Chanter is such a perfect name for me, it was like asking me to die to. To sing for my death but when I saw you guys fight. I got hope and I hope that hope would bring me to life. I'll help you no matter what. Trust me."
