CHAP 4:Akudama

While every civilian ran away, i took Olivia under my arms and stood there, knowing they would probably be killed.

I started going in the direction of the elevator, still carrying Olivia.

"Gray-san! What are you doing, we should run!"

"Shhhh, just trust me on this one"

I started hearing loud laughter.

"These trashcans don't stand an chance against me, so send an thousand more to see if i tire!"

An man with an hulking body stood in the center of the corridor while i hid behind a pillar.

'I should have an easy way of farming the XP for this skill in the dungeons. Hey system, is time slowed down while i am inside the dungeons'

{Yes, one second outside is 10 minutes inside}

That's very nifty.

While i fantasized about power, an gas started spreading across the corridor. I covered my mouth and made Olivia do the same. The Doctor has arrived.

"Ugh, such an imbecile"

An sultry voice echoed across the room.

An motor roared and the Messenger appeared again, drifting his bike and aiming at the other Akudama, an three-way duel a lá The good,The bad and The ugly. The Brawler threw the Doctor at the ceiling, which revealed the Hacker, turning the three into four. I should copy Hacker's skills if i want more information.

My thoughts suddenly became clearer and more organized, and i felt as if i was more in control of my body, like i could make each finger do an different thing in an totally different pattern. Besides, i could feel my ideas of coding and subsequently hacking become better, even better then at my prime.

While they pointed their weapons and the tension increased, i revealed myself, making them all point their weapons at me now, i of course made Olivia stay back.

"Hello there, my fellow Akudama, i am the Charlatan"

I made an respectful bow. Hacker started tapping his holographic keyboards in hopes of finding me on the police servers. Finding nothing, he became more curious and asked.

"I see nothing about an Charlatan on the Akudama list?"

"Of course not, what kind of charlatan would i be if everybody knew about me, can't have my face become public if i want to do what i do best."

"So you hacked the Akudama list? i tried but couldn't do it, didn't know there was an better hacker than me out there"

"So you are another rival in the rescue of Cutthroat"

Doctor said.

"If you aren't in the Akudama list you must be pretty strong, fight with me!"

Brawler screamed and got in a fighting position.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves, first things first, did anyone call the elevator?"

I pointed out in hopes of taking their attention off me.

"No chance? Someone annulled my hack?"

The elevator opened to reveal an mechanical spider looking thing.

"Whatever that is, we should probably run from it"

"I would never run away from an good fight!"

"That's an problem, i should've stayed in my lab after all"

The robot barraged us with missiles, destroying the floor beneath us, i ran in the direction of Olivia in hopes of atleast protecting her a bit. We encountered ourselves in an underground prison with me running princess-carrying Olivia, Doctor on Courier's bike, Brawler running and Hacker flying with his drones.

"At this point, 100 million is not enough"

"Get off my bike"

"Please, gentlemen and woman, let us concentrate on the matter at hand"

"Charlatan-kun is right, onwards Courier!"

"I said get off my bike"

We ran away and found ourselves in a train station. In an dead end, we had no choice but to fight the spider thing.
