After Taiga declared his intention to seize the city’s alchemy secrets, his followers all grew excited.
It was common knowledge that the 1st District was where the Alchemy Sector was located.
It was located here rather than the 20th District which was the most technological advance District in the city, because of an agreement among the Pillars that Jun was to supervise the city’s Alchemy.
The reason for them doing so is unknown, but for the persons here the reason was unimportant.
They were now ready to raid the district and take the alchemy for themselves. If they were to be successful, they would be one step closer to overthrowing the Pillars as leaders of the city.
However, seizing the 1st District won’t be easy.
Taiga stood in front of the entrance to the district with a serious expression on his face.
“Jun Mizune seems to have expected our arrival. He’s already prepared quite a reception.”
He looked into the district and saw a sea of soldiers armed with high powered weapons. There were countless aircrafts in the air as well as a countless amount of androids.
“These soldiers……They’re homunculi.”
Taiga said after sensing the odd aura coming from the soldiers.
“I see. They've prepared these beforehand.”
Taiga took the first step into the district.
“However, these are just low class homunculi who can’t even think for themselves. So they shouldn't pose to be a problem.”
The moment he entered the district countless weapons locked onto his body. However he showed no signs of fear.
“I am the Right Fang of the Twin Headed Dragon Syndicate, Taiga Kitora!”
His voice was heavy and loud. It easily echoed to every corner of district.
“Taiga, long time no see.”
It was at this moment Jun’s face appeared in the sky as a projection.
“What business do you have with my District?”
Said jun.
“Let’s not beat around the bush. I’ll give you one final chance. Submit or die!”
Jun burst out laughing.
“You know, I was once a well respected person but as of late I’ve been made a mockery of over and over again.”
His expression suddenly turned furious.
“Fuck you all! The only one who’ll die is you!”
*Boom!*
An explosion came from inside the District which drew the attention of Jun and Taiga.
“What’s happening?!”
Shouted Jun.
“My lord, we’re under attack! It’s Exsul!”
“What?!”
Both Jun and Taiga were shocked to hear the report.
They both anticipated Exsul intrusion but not yet. They thought that they would attack while both sides were in the middle of fighting. They would’ve never expected for them to attack them before they even threw the first punch.
“How did they sneak in?!”
Shouted jun.
Taiga-
“Attack! Kill everyone in our way!”
He ordered his men to attack.
His reason for doing so was simple.
If he used the chaos caused by Exsul, eliminating Jun’s army would be far much easier. There was also the fact that he couldn’t allow Exsul to obtain the alchemy secrets in the city.
“Fuck! Repel the enemy! Destroy both the Syndicate and Exsul!”
Jun angrily ordered.
The Syndicate charged into the district with heinous and bloodthirsty expressions, while Jun’s forces split up and attack both enemies.
*Boom!*
It took only a few seconds for the district to plunge into chaos.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Gunfire echoed throughout the district as bodies were mowed down from both sides.
“Roar!”
*Boom!*
A dozen disfigured bodies were sent flying after a beastly roar echoed out.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
“It’s the Mad Bull of Exsul, Yota!”
Yota who served as commander along with Sola, charged into a sea of enemies and started to swing his fists like a madman.
With every punch he threw bodies were sent flying and screams of pain rung out.
He quickly cleared a path and had Exsul soldiers running behind him.
His bulging muscles spasm as his body continued to grow with every step he took.
“Roar!”
*Boom!*
A pair of horns appeared at the tip of his fist and he used them to pierce into his enemies while punching them.
“Die!”
A group of Syndicate thugs rushed towards him while firing their weapons.
Yota grabbed a nearby homunculus and used him as shield while charging forward.
He threw away the homunculus and clothesline the thugs with his thick arm.
“Guah?!”
The thugs screamed out as their bodies were forcibly ripped apart.
Yota then spun around and smashed the head of homunculus. The blood splashed on his face and made his beastly expression even more savage.
This was Yota’s power. He was an Infected who was born with the ability to boast his physical strength beyond what’s humanly possible. His power was like that of a raging bull.
He even could partially turn into a bull which would make him as strong as a Minotaur despite being human.
He was already strong before but after sparring with Miko’s Dragonite for half a year, his strength and endurance reach a new level.
*Boom!*
The ground burst open as he stomped a couple thugs into the ground.
He destroyed a group of androids with just a casual swing of his arm and struck fear into the hearts of his enemies.
On the other side of the battlefield a purple mist covered the area and caused countless people to choke to death.
Even the homunculus fell victim and died with foam coming from their mouths.
The one reasonable for this mist was naturally Sola. She was using her poison art to destroy her enemies.
“Activate the anti-poison suits!”
A soldier from Jun’s side ordered.
The soldiers and homunculus equipped a thin suit over their attire after pressing a button in their bodies.
They no long felt the effect of Sola’s poison and charged towards her.
“Do you really think that’s the only way I can use poison?”
Sola drew two daggers and cut her tongue. Her blood dropped down the daggers and hit the ground.
*Sizzle!*
The moment her blood touch the ground it immediately started to erode.
“Let’s have some fun!”
She rushed forward with the daggers in her grasp.
She jumped over the attack of a soldier and landed behind him. With one swift motion she slit his throats from the back and caused his skin to begin to rot.
“Guaaaah?!”
He cried out in agony as his neck rot, causing his head to fall to the ground.
A dangerous glint appeared in her eyes and she moved forward while lower her center of gravity.
“Fire! Kill that woman!”
Sola moved swiftly and quickly cut off the head of the soldier after he roared the order.
She was then assaulted by a rain of bullets, which she dodged after jumping back.
However when she jumped back three soldiers were ready to attack her from behind.
“We got you!”
They swung their electric swords aiming at her head, torso, and legs at the same time.
Sola didn’t panic and pressed a button on the side of her belt.
*Swoosh!*
Spikes shot out of her belt and skewered the men behind her. The spikes quickly retracted and the men’s body immediately started to rot before they collapsed to the ground. The spike were soaked in Sola’s poison.
Sola’s skills were top notch.
After eliminating the threats from behind she started to attack the enemies around her with swift movements.
She would pounce on someone stabbed them at least in five vital points and jumped off all before their body could hit the ground.
Her swiftness and precise movements were something she had always possessed, but they were brought up a notch after she receive assassination training from Miko.
He realized that her aptitude for assassinations almost rivaled his own and decide to instruct her using Kimiko’s lessons. The result was sola surpassing his expectations.
She had already been trained in close combat to compliment her poison powers so after receiving some pointers Sola was able to unleash her full potential.
“Ahhhh?!”
A soldier cried out in pain as his intestines were cut out by Sola’s dagger.
“You bitch!”
Sola flip backwards and avoid a sneak attack, and threw her daggers. The daggers stabbed into the ambusher’s eyes and blind them.
They screamed out as they felt their brains rot.
An android grabbed her from behind and locked its arms around her. A group of homunculus took that chance to thrust their spears at her body.
“Tsk!”
Seeing that she clicked her tongue in annoyance.
After that something unbelievable happened.
Purple liquid started to coming out of Sola’s pores like sweat. This liquid caused the android’s arms to melt.
Sola then easily broke free and thrust her palms forward.
The purple liquid on her skin instantly turned into vapor which dissolved the spears when they came in contact with it.
Sola then drew some needles from her pouch and threw them into the homunculi.
They instantly died and started to rot.
“I stink!”
Sola shouted with a disgusted expression after smelling her body. This was the after effect of using her sweat glands to excrete poison. It leaves an unpleasant smell which Sola hated.
Because of this, Sola won’t use this move unless she was in a desperate situation like earlier.
“I better hurry and finish up here so that I can have a shower!”
She said as she dove into the sea of enemies.
Taiga who stood at the entrance of the district silently watched the various battles unfold.
“Even though we have the advantage in strength, Jun would have the advantage in numbers, that was how it was suppose to be.”
He looked at Yota and Sola’s battles and narrowed his eyes.
“But Exsul is unexpectedly the one who have the advantage. Looks like we didn’t pay them enough attention when preparing for war.”
He took a step forward and began to slow walk towards the chaotic battlefield.
“I guess it my job to correct our mistakes.”
His body started to grow and his appearance began changing.
He became furry, grew a tail, fangs and claws. His face became longer and eyes changed into that of a feline.
He had turned into a tiger.
He swung his arm.
*Boom!*
Countless bodies were blown away after getting ripped into pieces.
“Time to get serious.”
He bent his legs and shot into the air like a rocket.
“Hm?”
He was detected by the aircrafts and were immediately attacked with missiles.
“A waste of time.”
His arm spasm as he poured his strength into his arm.
“Clear the path.”
He swung his arm and a powerful force destroyed the missiles and aircrafts in one go.
*Boom!*
With a swing of his hand taiga had removed all obstacles in his way.
He landed on a rooftop and looked towards Jun’s headquarters.
“First I’ll obtain what we came here for and then I’ll wipe out every single one of these brats.”
*Boom!*
He jumped and caused the building to shattered under the force he created.
He shot towards Jun’s headquarters like an arrow.
“Oh?”
While flying through the air he saw a blue light rush past underneath him and head towards Exsul troops.
*Boom!*
At this time Yota was still rampaging through the sea of enemies with an unstoppable momentum. Everything in his path would get by his mighty fists.
“?!”
That’s when he sense something dangerous and quickly turned around to face it.
*Boom!*
He was hit by a powerful blast of water.
“Ugh!”
He used his physical strength and redirected the attack into the air.
He looked in front of him and saw that the attack had destroyed the asphalt and created a ditch.
He saw someone standing at the end of the ditch.
“Flow Mizune.”
At first Yota was shocked but shock soon turned into excitement.
“Hahahaha!”
He started laughing.
“This is great! I was going to look for later but you appeared in front of me. How kind.”
He cracked his fingers and spoke with a savage grin.
“It’s time for me to smash your face-in for humiliating me at the tournament!”
In response to the excited Yota, Flow-
“Um….I’m sorry. Who are you again?”
“Huh?”
