YM778.TV Chapter 377
Still, the feeling of going beyond the very limits was exhilarating . Dan was now affected by the rush of adrenaline when he uses TRANSCEND . He couldn’t help himself and started laughing a bit as he got behind Leon . He was about to smack Leon to the ground, but even with his speed that surpassed the speed of sound, Leon was still able to react .
Even though he was surprised by Dan’s sudden increase in speed, Leon kept a cool head and predicted that Dan would either attack the front or the back, and he gambled on Dan attacking from behind . Leon was able to place his scythe behind him covering most of his vital areas from behind . Yet that didn’t stop Dan from attacking .
Seeing his opponent was still able to keep up even with this kind of speed, made Dan happy . He was going to be able to test his technique against someone who naturally surpassed human limitations, unlike him who used TRANSCEND to bypass that stage .
Dan didn’t stop his only remaining hand to punch Leon . The moment Dan’s fist came into contact with the handle of the scythe, Leon immediately knew that he needed to do something if he wanted to survive . Leon tried to divert Dan’s strike but it was no use, the force of the strike was something even he couldn’t handle . At that moment Leon wanted to evade but it was too late, the punch had broken through the handle of his scythe .
With that one attack, Leon was blown away, it was at that moment the base’s alarm started ringing . Some sections of the base were closed off . Then in the middle of Leon flying backward, a shutter door came down to block his path . Leon hit the shutter door and felt his back almost bending, as he fell down onto the floor he started coughing up blood . Before he could try and do anything Dan stood in front of him and clutched his head .
. . .
While Dan was trying to finish off Leon, Rachel was panicking and screaming . The shutter doors suddenly came down . One of which blocked the mercenary club’s view of the fight . Oliver tried attacking the door but it did nothing . Some of the shutter doors have malfunctioned due to the fights that were happening all over the base, and even outside, but most of them were working and everything was slowly closing . They had no time left before the mercenary club members get stuck inside the base . They had no choice but to move quickly .
Rachel didn’t want to move at all, but she knew she had no choice . So as they were about to leave Rachel shouted with all her might hoping Dan would hear . "Daddy! I’m going to wait for you to come home!"
. . .
Dan who was clutching Leon’s face felt like he heard something but disregarded it since he needed to focus on killing the enemy before him . As he was squeezing Leon’s cranium Dan also pounded Leon’s face onto the shutter door . Yet even in such a situation where he was so close to death Leon was calm .
Leon with the broken half of his scythe that had the blade was able to sneakily place it behind Dan, then afterward he pulled the scythe towards him trying to cut Dan from behind . Yet the moment it hit Dan’s back muscles it got stuck . No matter how hard Leon pulled it just wouldn’t budge, Dan didn’t even seem to notice it as he continued smacking Leon around .
Leon was now losing consciousness, but as his consciousness dimmed, memories he had long forgotten started to return . At the brink of death, he was now remembering his past . Leon who had regained his memories hated it . Why give them back now that he was about to die .
’No there must be a chance!’ Leon who felt that his whole body was as heavy as the weights he wore tried his best to get the daggers he hidden in his pants . Once he got the daggers out Leon stabbed Dan’s wrist . He believed that with that Dan would let go of him, but unfortunately for him, Dan was unaffected . With Leon’s current strength he wanted to use the two remaining daggers he had for one last struggle .
’I need to survive, and tell my little brother he no longer needs to be tied down to the Greyhound name! I need to save him from himself!’
Leon with his remaining strength stabbed the two daggers onto Dan’s chest . The stab wasn’t deep enough to cause damage, so with everything he had left Leon pushed the daggers deeper into Dan’s chest using his legs . Yet even that wasn’t able to stop Dan who was now like a zombie in Leon’s mind .
Leon felt Dan’s grip get even tighter, he could no longer feel any strength left in his body . Leon was extremely regretful at this moment, as he faced his second death . He was given a second chance in life to get rid of his regret but he was still unable to do anything .
’I’m such a failure of a big brother . Even in my second try, I couldn’t save my younger brother . Now I’m going to die such a lousy death, where I wasn’t able to fight back at all . ’
Thinking about this Leon felt like he was also a lousy Greyhound, so as a form of a final struggle, Leon tried biting Dan’s hand . Yet as expected that did nothing to stop his enemy, it didn’t even delay him . Still, it was weird that the noisy Dan was quiet for a while now .
’Richter . . . Your big bro is such a failure, even in the end, I was a failure . . . Richter . . . I’m sorry . ’ Those were Leon’s final thought as he head was flattened .
