Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Acht felt obliged to save Tania for one single reason. He had relied on her to fend off one of them alone when she clearly couldn't do that and so that was a miscalculation from his side.

He stood silent for some time, he was trying to feel the presence of the Shinobi and Tania. He was sure that they didn't run that far.

His soul sense had already grown by leaps and bounds since the first time he used it. Now it could cover 200 meters around him. In an instant, his mind expanded and he started feeling everything around him without even looking. Every nook and cranny around him became as visible for him as if he was looking at his ken hands.

"Found you." He muttered with closed eyes. A little bit farther away from his position. The two things were moving at a fast speed.

Acht didn't waste any time and followed after them. He was faster than the Shinobi so he was able to close the distance quite easily. But, he didn't want to reach them.

Since the moment the two shinobis appeared, he had one question.

'What do they want from us?'

He had never seen them before so he was confused as to why they were targeting them.

'Perhaps, it's a normal kidnap?' He moved through the shadows of buildings while keeping his soul sense open to keep track of where the Shinobi was going. He was going farther and farther away from the populated areas of Lagradon but he was still far away from the end of the city. Lagradon was extremely big and almost impossible to reach the city walls in one night.

This chase continued for almost 30 minutes in which the Shinobi stopped for a brief moment to check if Acht was following him or not. He didn't seem to sense his presence as he quickly disappeared again. The Shinobi was using the shadows to move so it was hard to see him in the darkness.

They soon reached what seemed like an abandoned factory, it was quite far away from the city center and it seemed to be built in a deserted area where no one lived.

The Shinobi didn't waste much time and entered the factory. He seemed quite familiar with the place since he didn't hesitate.

Acht also followed him inside but after some time, since it could be a trap for him. He took a brief look at the structure of the place and noted any suspicious places.

The place's structure was simple, the factory was just one big room where most workers should be and a room on the second floor where the administration was. Everything could be seen from the outside so Acht didn't need to get inside in order to get an idea about the factory.

After making sure everything was noted in his head, he looked at the Shinobi. He was standing still in a particular place with Tania in his hands who didn't seem to resist him or even show any kind of reaction. She had the same blank face that she always had.

'What is he doing?' Acht squinted his eyes as he used soul force on his eyes to enhance his vision. He was able to see that the Shinobi was tapping on some buttons in a control panel he had in his free hand.

After a few seconds of tapping, a loud sound echoed in the place and the ground in front of the shinobi started opening up slowly. After the door fully opened, the shinobi took one last look around him before he went down the steps.

'I've never expected a secret base. What kind of people are they?' he pondered as he walked silently to the open door. When he was close to the door, it started closing rapidly.

Acht had no choice but to run so he could reach it in time before it closed. Fortunately, he was able to do so quite easily.

Inside, he found a set of stairs that gives him down to a small and cramped hallway. There was some light coming from the end of the hallway that illuminates most of the place.

Acht could also hear some people talking inside. He didn't want them to know his place so he sneakily walked down without making any noises. He then hid behind the first thing he found and listened carefully to their conversation.

"Did you get the girl?" A man asked.

"Yes. She was hard to catch…also…" The man's voice got quieter and quieter until it disappeared completely as if he was extremely ashamed of saying something.

"Out with it!" The other man who seemed to be the boss or something like that.

"Sundine got killed." He blurted out after some hesitation.

Silence took over the place for a few seconds in which Acht felt the heavy atmosphere.

"Who did it?" The boss asked quietly.

"There was another kid with the young girl."

"Another kid?"

"Yes, but he wasn't normal at all…He was able to overpower Sundine easily and he even killed him in a few moments. I saw that and I had no choice but to get the girl and run away. He followed me but I was able to run away."

"...Are you sure he didn't follow you here?" The man's sharp words made Acht tense a little bit. If he was discovered then his plan would be ruined.

"Yes, I am sure. I even used a longer route to come here. He won't be able to find any tracks to follow me."

Acht felt relieved that he was dealing with ignorant fools and then looked to his side. There was a massive box that was at least 2 meters tall and 2 meters wide. It was made out of some kind of wood but it looked solid enough to make his plans work.

He then pointed his hand at the crater and used his gift. He wanted to send the box flying and take all the people present by surprise. Then, he will use that chaos to run in and take Tania away. He could've faced them head-on but he had to keep Tania's safety in mind so he could only go with this plan.

'I hope that it will be light enough for my gravity to move it.' He knew that if it was over 500 kg then he wouldn't be able to push it.

But, fortunately, the moment he used all of his powers, the box was sent flying at high speed toward the crowd of men inside.

*Booommmmmm*

A loud explosion shook the whole underground and made Acht stumble on his foot. After adjusting his pose, he took a look inside. There was a huge white dust-like substance in the air that kept accumulating rapidly.

Then, he heard the loud voice of the leader shouting, "Fuck! Close your noses or the SA will kill you! Who did it!?"

The leader tried to run outside but Acht had already run at him and kicked him in the stomach. The man stumbled to the ground with a painful groan. Then Acht passed him and ran inside. He heard some of the leader's words so even though he didn't get what was going on properly, he closed his mouth and nose as he ran inside.

He looked around him and saw many of the men were coughing loudly and holding their throats in pain.

He didn't care about them since his only goal was to reach Tania. No-one stopped him in his tracks and so he reached the Shinobi who held Tania quite easily.

Then, he used his right hand and broke 4 of his fingers before taking Tania away from him.

The man felt the intense pain in his hands and also in his throat and lost consciousness. He couldn't handle the immense pain his body felt.

"Are you ok?" He asked as he tried to escape.

Tania didn't respond at first and kept looking at him in a daze before nodding his head silently.

As Acht ran to the exit, he suddenly heard a loud shriek from his left side. He looked at the source of this primal scream and his eyes widened in shock at the site.

One of the men who inhaled this weird substance had turned into some kind of wild animal. His eyes were as red as a tomato and his mouth was open wide while his saliva kept trickling down his mouth endlessly.

He was also standing on his four limbs like a feline and was looking at Acht as he breathed heavily.

"What is that?!" He muttered as he increased his pace. But, before he could even make his way out, the crazy man jumped at him with an even louder shriek.

"YRAAAAAA!!!!!"
