To Be a Power in the Shadows! Chapter 139

Even if we talk, it will be a waste of time
Gettan let go of Yukime’s neck and stand up.
[John-han…….]
Yukime coughed painfully and calls out his name.
[So you are John Smith. You said that I took something away from you. But isn’t it you that take things away from me !]
Gettan squeezed his crushed eyes and hatefully stared at John Smith.
[I don’t care. I’m just here to take back the thing you took from me——that’s all.]
[You mean this woman? Hah, do you really think you do it?]
[I will try until I can.]
[Damn small fry….. But I too have something I must take back. The thing you stole from me that is!!]
Saying so Gettan takes a stance with his naginata.
[You want to take something back from me? What are you talking about?]
[Trying to play a fool? You shithead…….]
Gettan clicked his tongue.
[That’s my line, you damn dog.]
John Smith also clicked his tongue back.
[You are not making any sense, if so then there’s no longer need for a talk.]
[It’s a waste of time.]
John Smith also prepare his steel wires.
The two hatefully stared at each other, then ———.
[GETTANNNNNN——!!]
[JOHN SMITHHHH——–!!]
They clashed violently.
Gettan’s naginata is approaching John Smith. But John Smith didn’t try to avoid it.
The naginata continued its approach on John’s neck, then it suddenly stopped.
[—–What!?]
Surprised that his naginata has been stopped mid-air, Gettan pulled his naginata.
John Smith send Gettan’s naginata back and composedly said.
[Just now, did you tried something……..?]
Gettan furiously click his tongue.
[You bastard….. what did you do. No, a wire huh? Did you used a wire infused with magic power and stop my naginata.]
[Hou…..to think you would be able to noticed it even with those blinded eyes.]
[Even without an eye you would be able to notice it from other things. After I lost my eyesight, my detection ability using magic power improved dramatically.]
Gettan’s magic power filled the surrounding.
[I can see it, I can see it! I already seen through all of your wires.!! Certainly, to be able to control this much wires freely, you are certainly skilled. ? Unfortunately you picked a fight with the wrong opponent this time.]
Gettan distorted his lips and smiled.
[I can clearly see everything! Your skills are too incompatible with mine!]
Gettan once again start attacking John Smith. John Smith takes a distance and tried to seize Gettan’s naginata , but his wire never touch gettan.
[It’s useless!! everything you try to do is visible to me.]
John Smith retreats, Gettan chases after him.
Yukime watched the two fought with tears in her eyes. What is reflecting in her eye is the figure of John Smith fighting in earnest.
Yukime has never seen a moment when John Smith has been so angry.
It hasn’t been long since the two met.
But she understood that he wasn’t a type who show his emotions.
That same person, got angry.
It was an anger from the bottom of his heart.
He came to take Yukime back and he got angry at Gettan for hurting her.
[John-han…….why…….]
She got closer to him. But that was a business relationship, or so she thought. John Smith should also felt the same.
However, that strong feeling hidden inside John Smith……
He came to take back his important thing.
Tokkun ( heartbeat’s sfx)
Yukime’s heart is beating faster.
Her heart was frozen since the day everything was taken away from her.
No matter what happened , No matter who she has to embrace, She just smile and accepted it.
Her heart was frozen to protect herself, and it will never melt away.
However, John Smith’s burning feeling gradually melt it little by little.
Yukime’s eyes already can’t follow anyone except John Smith.
[John-han…….!]
Although it seem like John Smith is being overwhelmed, Yukime know that his true ability was not just at this level.
He will definitely win for her sake.
She believed so.
Then—-.
[So that’s what you’re amounted to…….?]
That was John Smith’s word.
[Ku…….]
Gettan’s breath has become rough , he stared at John Smith.
It was Gettan who pushed John Smith back but his naginata never reach him.
On the contrary his body is being covered with innumerable small wound.
Certainly, Gettan was able to see all of the wires.
However, being able to see doesn’t mean he can dodge it all.
The wires formation John Smith used was like a spider web, once you are caught you won’t be able to escape.
It was a perfect formation to lead his prey around and seal its movement, is what Gettan guessed.
If one try to forcibly break through they will sustain damages from those countless wire.
If you can’t get close the naginata won’t reach, and If you got close————–.
Before he noticed it , Gettan was forced to eternally swing his naginata that will never reach his target.
[Why, are you possessing such power….]
Gettan said with a voice as if he was howling.
John Smith composedly walk toward Gettan. His wires already sealed Gettan escape route before he know it.
[Say it…..You have something you want to say right?]
[———–]
Gettan looks over John Smith’s shoulder toward Yukime for a moment. But he shakes his head.
[What are you talking about. Thing I want to say? I have no such thing!!]
[I see.]
At the next moment, Blood burst from Gettan’s chest. The steel wire wrapped around him and bite into his flesh.
Gettan’s face distorted in pain but he still stared at John Smith.
I wished for power! I sacrificed many thing to get it !! I will not stop now!!
He took a lot of red tablets from his pocket and swallowed all of it.
That’s clearly over the capacity he could handle.
[I will never be deprive again….. If I’m going to be deprive again then………]
Gettan turns to look at Yukime again. It was as he was looking with his crushed eyes.
Then, Gettan’s body turns black and transforming.
His muscles are getting bigger and more strained.
A large amount of magic power exploded and blew away the piled snow.
[I am no longer care about my life.]
Gettan’s crushed eyes has opened.
What’s there are blood-red eyeballs.
And tears of blood flowing down his cheeks.
