Chapter 195


Lyner"s stance changed as he lowered his stance . Even the aura he was emitting changed . Moments ago he was bursting with bloodl.u.s.t and fighting spirit, but now it felt frigid . Seeing this Alex and Matthew prepared themselves and before Lyner moved Alex took a throwing knife hidden in his shoulders and threw it at Lyner . As if that was a signal all three of them then started to move in inhuman speeds .


One second:


Lyner caught the throwing knife Alex threw at him and threw it back at the owner . Matthew who was already near Lyner punched him .


Two seconds:


Lyner evaded Matthew"s punch and grabbed it, he was about to put Matthew in a hold, but he saw Alex was about to shoot at him . Lyner then pushed Matthew towards Alex blocking his shot .


Three seconds:


Alex seeing Matthew coming towards him, did a sidestep but was greeted by Lyner trying to grab hold of him .


Four seconds:


Alex shot at Lyner"s feet making him slow down for a bit, with that additional time, Matthew who finally regained his balance also shot at Lyner, but this time he didn"t shoot directly at him, he tried to predict where Lyner would stop .


Five seconds:


Lyner was surprised by Matthew who looked like he was improving as the fight continued . . . Though it looks like an improvement, but it felt more like Matthew could finally display his true abilities . Most likely Matthew had finally got used to Lyner emitting his killing intent .


Lyner buried his foot onto the ground stopping himself from moving, making Matthew miss his shot .


Six seconds:


Lyner kicked up the ground where he pierced his foot into . This move made the dirt go upwards making something similar to a smoke screen . Lyner suddenly vanished from sight .


Seven seconds:


Seeing what Lyner did both Alex and Matthew stuck together and were now standing back to back, to deal with their blind spots . They couldn"t sense, hear, or smell Lyner at this moment even his suffocating killing intent vanished .


Eight seconds:


Alex and Matthew were getting tense as they didn"t know where Lyner would suddenly pop out from .


Nine seconds:


Alex and Matthew suddenly heard something from above, and when they looked up they saw a silhouette of something falling down .


Ten seconds:


Alex started to shoot at the falling silhouette until he only had one bullet left . Matthew who saw the incoming silhouette shot at it as well until he too only had one bullet left .


Eleven seconds:


The silhouette that the two saw was nothing more than the s.h.i.+rt Lyner was wearing . Alex and even Matthew felt the danger they were in and jump upwards .


Twelve seconds:


Lyner who has successfully distracted the two boys was about to pull on their legs winning the game, but both of them had jumped . Still, even with that action, Matthew who was a bit slower was captured by Lyner .


Thirteen seconds:


Matthew seeing as he was captured toss the desert eagle at Alex .


Fourteen seconds:


Alex had caught the desert eagle and without delay aimed at Lyner"s arm, and using the m1911 pistol predicted how Lyner would evade and shot at the position he predicted .


Fifteen seconds:


Lyner evaded Alex"s bullet instinctively but the moment he s.h.i.+fted his arms another bullet actually nicked him, shocking him and making him loosen his grip on Matthew"s leg .


Sixteen seconds:


Matthew feeling Lyner"s grip loosen used all his strength to struggle free . Alex helped as well seeing that Lyner"s was almost off balance by being surprised, Alex went close .


Seventeen seconds:


Alex did a sweeping kick, in which Lyner was forced to release the squirming Matthew before he could jump upward to evade .


Eighteen seconds:


Alex signaled Matthew telling him to initiate the final phase of the plan .


Nineteen Seconds:


Alex and Matthew who were in there RELEASE and pseudo RELEASE state ran in two different directions . Seeing as there was little time left, as long as they make Lyner waste his time they would win .


Twenty seconds:


Lyner noticed what the two boys were planning and threw another knife with a wire attached at Matthew .


Matthew who was on high alert and was also getting used to this kind of battle was able to sense the incoming knife and was barely able to evade .


Twenty-one seconds:


Lyner seeing that Matthew evaded his attack pull back the knife with a wire attached and gave chase to Matthew, who felt easier to capture .


Twenty-two seconds:


Matthew who felt a s.h.i.+ver down his spine, knew that Lyner decided to capture him first . Matthew then stopped running . This was part of Alex"s plan, whoever Lyner decides to capture first should delay Lyner to the best of his abilities, while the one who wasn"t facing Lyner escapes further away .


Twenty-three seconds


Lyner who saw Matthew stop was confused for a moment . This sudden move actually shock Lyner and was able to stop him for a second .


Twenty four seconds:


Lyner who was confused for a moment didn"t care anymore . He charged forth at Matthew with blinding speed .


Twenty-five seconds:


Matthew who lost sight of Lyner had a decision to make . Lyner could attack from behind, above or below . Depending on how he acts Matthew will be able to delay Lyner for at least three seconds or more .


Twenty-six seconds:


Matthew decided that Lyner would attack from above and without even looking did a back step .


Twenty-seven seconds:


Out of nowhere Lyner appeared from above and landed on the spot Matthew was at, before he did a back step .


Twenty-eight seconds:


Lyner moved again and was now in front of Matthew, who saw Lyner was about to hit him with his right fist . Matthew seeing that move was going to block .


Twenty-nine seconds:


Matthew who was ready to block Lyner"s right fist suddenly felt something struck the back of his neck and he lost consciousness .


Thirty to thirty-four seconds:


Lyner was amazed at how Matthew reacted to his attack . This was the first time someone who was so much weaker than him was able to evade his attack at full speed . Matthew even reacted to the feint with his right fist . Matthew might not have noticed but in the end he was finally able to see Lyner"s movements .


Thirty-five seconds:


Lyner had no more time to be amazed by the kid he wanted to beat up . He needed to move fast and find Alex . Knowing that kid he might already be hiding in a secure location that is difficult to spot .


. . .


Fifty seconds:


Alex found a spring while running and decided to hide there . Alex submerged himself in the spring while holding his breath not moving .


Fifty-four seconds:


Alex felt some movement from the other side of the spring and could already guess who it was .


Fifty-five seconds:


As expected the person who suddenly jumped into the spring was Lyner . Who even in water was able to move quite fast .


Fifty-six seconds:


Alex knew that this was now a do or die situation . He waited for Lyner to get within his field and move .


Fifty-seven seconds:


Lyner was now faced to face with Alex his hands about to grab the boy, but before he could that a throwing knife came flying out of the water .


Fifty-eight seconds:


Alex who flung a throwing knife he was holding in between his toes, took the last throwing knife he had and threw at Lyner"s face .


Fifty-nine seconds:


Lyner who wasn"t expecting a throwing knife to suddenly appear from below had only one second left to win . He evaded Alex"s knife and stretched his arms towards Alex at the fastest speed he could muster .


Sixty seconds:


Alex didn"t know what Lyner would do next but as long as he could evade this last shot he and Matthew would win . Alex who was on high alert didn"t know why, but his instincts were telling him to move his head slightly forward .


Lyner was surprised by Alex sudden move, and was unable to pinch the back of his neck . The time limit was over, Alex and Matthew actually won .


Lyner stood there with an expression of surprise, cause in the last sixty seconds he was actually trying and he was still unable to win . Lyner who lost suddenly started to laugh heartily . He looked at Alex and spoke with a smile on his face .


"Heh, be proud Alex . Though it wasn"t a real life or death fight, you and your friend were actually able to win against a serious me . "
