Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

Han Che knelt on the ground with his head down and his arms hanging at his sides.

He couldn't lift his right arm anymore; his shoulder and fingers were completely numb.

Every time I moved my left arm, it felt like my shoulder was being stabbed with a knife.

This means that the hammer-wielding soldier's arm was injured by the royal guards in the previous battle, so he couldn't exert his full strength this time.

Otherwise, if he had taken that blow head-on, Han Che wasn't sure if he would have been able to stay conscious.

He was breathing heavily, each breath carrying the metallic taste of blood. He looked up, staring at the figure before him. There was a gash on his forehead, from which blood flowed, dripping down the edge of his mask to the ground.

Raven stopped comically holding up two pistols, lowered the revolver and let it hang at his sides, his eyes fixed on Han Che's face.

The dust settled, and the lights shone back into the hall.

The raven stood in the shadows, while Han Che knelt in the light. The two stood a few meters apart, staring at each other, neither speaking.

The raven's lips twitched, as if it wanted to say something strange, but then it closed its mouth again.

With his head raised and eyes meeting Raven's, Han Che slowly stood up, supporting himself on his knee with his left hand.

Seeing this, the last hammer-wielder was about to charge forward again with his hammer when Raven stopped him.

"Third brother, your mission is over. Collect the bodies of the brothers and go back to your cell."

"But, Geheros still..."

"It's alright, our plan has been completed perfectly, and the brothers all performed very well." Raven paused, "The warden and the others are indeed formidable. I didn't expect the losses to be so great even after the plan was fully implemented."

"So, why don't I just kill him now!"

Just as the hammer-wielding soldier was about to charge forward, Raven grabbed his shoulder with all her might, and the hammer-wielding soldier turned around and exchanged a glance with Raven.

Raven shook his head. "Alright, third brother! I'm enough for now. If you go up there, you might push him too far."

Before the third brother could say anything more, Raven interrupted, "We're not going to kill him now, we're going to make him submit, do you understand?"

The third brother shook his head, his eyes beneath the iron helmet were very clear.

"Fine... trust me, go! I'll find out how to make the prison guards stronger, and you'll all be fine too."

The third brother glanced at the warden, who was swaying slightly as he stood up, then looked at Raven, nodded, and left.

Raven watched the third brother leave, then turned around and looked directly into Han Che's eyes.

"Impressive, Your Excellency the Warden!"

"I fell for it, completely fell for it, and yet I'm still standing." He said, removing his helmet and armor. "Impressive!"

"Is the bet we made earlier still valid?" Raven asked, then before Han Che could answer, she continued, "I'm serious. I've told our third brother to leave, and we'll have a one-on-one fight."

"I'm afraid if he keeps attacking, you'll have to use your resurrection skill." Raven grinned as he said this. "Then what's the point of me fighting?!"

"Come on, this time it's a fight to the death! You're injured now! I won't take advantage of you, I'm not wearing armor!"

"Let's fight one-on-one!"

"Kill me! From now on, I'll obey you and cooperate with you in prison!"

"If I kill you, tell me how you made your prison guards so twisted!"

The raven's eyes flashed with a cold light as it placed its hands on its waist.

"..." Han Che stared coldly at the raven, gradually straightening his posture.

I hope you'll keep your word.

"I'm lying to you, I was born from you." Raven revealed that sickly smile again.

Then, Han Che picked up his rifle again.

The white mask had a corner broken off near the right eye, and the sickly face had half of its right eye covered.

The two masks faced each other a few steps apart.

It's unclear who gave the signal, but the two attacked almost simultaneously.

Geheros leaped diagonally upwards, his entire body slicing horizontally through the air.

At the same instant, Raven lowered its center of gravity, slid out with a low lunge, and sparks flew as its knees scraped the ground.

The two men stood sideways, shoulders taut, their eyes locked on each other. One above the other, one high and one low, they crossed paths right in the center of the battlefield.

As Geheros's body hovered in mid-air, flames spurted from the muzzle of his gun, while Raven's body remained close to the ground, and both revolvers clanged loudly.

……

"Captain Shimada, let's hurry up and leave! The power's already off, why aren't we going?"

"Shut up!" After recovering from his manic state, Shimada immediately took Sato to the administrative district and pulled the shutter.

At that time, gunfire could be heard everywhere in the administrative district, which terrified them.

But soon things returned to quiet. The two mustered their courage and slowly made their way to the second entrance of the administrative district. Watching the battle below from afar, they kept marveling to themselves, "These two bosses are really fierce!"

The two went back and retrieved the weapon belonging to the Hibiscus Club member who had been shot in the head by the warden.

Shimada carried it with him and squatted there, acting as a war correspondent.

"They're almost done fighting, if we don't leave now it'll be too late!" Sato watched the battle between the warden and Raven's two groups from afar, his lips trembling with panic.

At that moment, all he wanted was to get away as quickly as possible and leave this place.

Shimada, on the other hand, had a fierce look on his face. The mission was going well, but he suddenly went crazy and killed his own teammate. This scene was broadcast live and seen by the whole world!

He has to do something, do something to make a difference!

I don't ask for much credit, just enough to cover up the fact that he killed his teammates!

Otherwise, if they go out and say they did nothing but kill a teammate in prison, they'll be gone!

If I go back like this, won't I be kicked out of the club on the spot?

Right now, all he has to do is wait for the warden to kill the raven, or for the raven to kill the warden, and then he can go up and happily loot a BOSS box!

Then he'll have something to say when he gets out, at least he witnessed the end of the Crow Hunter mission and brought back a BOSS's loot!

Merits and demerits cancel each other out! Shimada silently calculated in his heart, completely ignoring Sato's shouts and yells beside him.

Bang bang bang bang!

[The raven was shot down, well done!]

The warden's strength has been diminished!

Don't miss this opportunity!

Let's get to know him together now!

"!" Shimada's eyes widened, unable to believe his ears.

"Did you hear that, Sato?!" Shimada turned his head and excitedly shouted at Sato beside him.

"The raven is dead!"

"The warden's strength has been weakened!"

"It's a lose-lose situation!" Shimada shook Sato's shoulder, and in that instant, he felt as if he had heard the most beautiful sound in the world.

"Kill the warden! We'll make history!"

Sato tugged at Shimada's sleeve, but he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Shimada, wearing the level 5 armor he'd picked up from the Hibiscus Club and a fully modified M4A1, excitedly rushed down from the second floor.

From afar, he saw the warden in his black trench coat, his back to him.

Pick up your rifle and aim!

For some reason, Shimada felt that the entire top of the scope's field of view was emitting a blinding red light.

Through the scope, a huge red flash was also seen emanating from the head of the man in the black trench coat.

What's wrong with the scope in this Hibiscus Club?

Before Shimada could figure out what the red thing was, a laser beam shot straight from the direction of the black trench coat...

boom!boom!

Shimada's last vision was that he found his vision spinning in the air, making him feel a little dizzy.

Then he crashed heavily to the ground, and everything went dark.
