Ch: 38 [Weapon Master part-1]
"Someone is following us," I said.
A bald man on a bike is following us. He got a sword on his back. It's a titanium blade with acid etching. Firearms and tons of silver bullets. A couple of teakwood daggers on his waist.
How do I know, you ask? I have no freaking clue. All the information about the weapons just flooded into my mind. It has to be my Weaponmaster power. That Void thing was preventing me from accessing my power earlier. What else can this power do? I can't wait to find out.
"Following us? Loan sharks?" Cecil looked back with a worried expression.
"No, I don't think so. He is keeping his distance from us. Probably trying to find out where I live. Let's take a detour," I replied.
Whoever he is, I can't allow him to do as he pleases and follow me to my house. I took the highway. If I am fast enough, I should be able to lose him around the fourth intersection. Thanks to my new car and empty road, it feels as if I am flying. But surprisingly, that bald bastard's bike is keeping up with me.
What the fuck did he put in that bike? This is insane. I am going over 150Kmph, and yet that baldy. Alright, you want to race... Let's see how long you can keep up.
"Hey, Cecil, buckle up... It's going to be fun..." I increased the speed. It's dangerous, but it's thrilling. I have never driven this fast. I can hear the beautiful sound of the engine.
"Aren't we going too fast?" Cecil tightened her seatbelt. She looks afraid.
"Don't worry. As long as I am here, no one will hurt you," I said with a smile.
We arrived at the intersection where four routes go four separate ways. But if you know which way to go, you can cross from one route to another. It's shortcuts that don't exist in GPS navigation.
"What the fuck? Humfff! Hold on," I yelled. Black armored SUVs are waiting for us near the intersection.
Bastards closed off all the routes. I drifted and turned back. Had it been any other car, it would have crashed because turning a speeding car going over 190Kmph is a big deal, but this enhanced champ can handle it smoothly.
"Who are those people?" Cecil said.
I looked in her direction on my right. Wtf! There are approximately twenty people dressed in black. They lighted up the headlights of their bikes and started to follow me. It's like those modern ninjas from movies.

Damn it! Who are these bastards? What do they want from me?
Huh? I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I see. I have let my guard down. I slowed the car and pressed the break. I stopped the car. Those ninjas are all over the street. God knows how many of them are there.
"Why?" I turned toward Cecil.
She is holding a syringe. Her expression was not that of an innocent and weak girl but of a cold-hearted killer. I can feel it. Her emotionless glare at me. Hahaha! I made the same mistake once again. I should have been more careful after that bitch's betrayal. Haha! I fell for it again.
When I heard her story, I saw myself in her. There wasn't anyone except my family to support me when I was going through tough times. And I also know the feeling of abandonment and betrayal. So, I couldn't leave her alone in her tough times. Looks like it was my mistake.
Women... Haha! She got me good. It pains me to think, but I have to kill her now.
Cecil... she got out of the car without a single word.
Damn! It stings. What did she inject me with? How the fuck did she do that through my enhanced skin? My head! Everything... blurry... I got out of the car. This is dangerous. I can't feel... Paralysis!
"How are you feeling? With all that enhancement, you must be surprised th how a mere needle pierced your neck, right? 4th gen Adamantium needle. Strong enough to pierce through anything," A man's voice. I can't see anything. It's dark... I don't know where he is... My legs became like jelly. I stumbled on the ground.
"Oh! Don't try to move. The more you move, the faster the poison will spread. It's specially created to neutralize Count Dracula, the father of all vampires. So, I am quite confident it will also work on a noble lineage vampire like you," said the unknown man.
His voice... He is closer to me... Maybe a few steps away from me, but... Which direction? So they were watching me. They know about my enhancement skill and Dracul... What else do they know?
My vision started to clear. I can move my body. The eroge points... Time to level up, 'Show me the pending notification.'

Finally, something useful...
I stood up. A man in a black ninja dress is standing five steps away from me. He is carrying two adamantium swords on his back. Shurikens and silver shards...
I see all these ninjas around me carrying swords and hidden weapons, but their swords are of lesser quality than this man's sword. Is he their leader or a minion?
"Interesting. Mr. Alex, you have surpassed our expectations. To think your body would reject the toxin. So your lineage is higher than that of Dracula. Sadly, you will be coming with us," said the man. I don't sense any emotion from him.
"Oh, I don't think so. I am gonna kill everyone. Then, I will tear your limbs apart, and finally, I am gonna kill you, Cecil, or whatever your name is, in the most brutal way possible," I said with a cold smile.
I look around me to get a clear idea of how many bastards I have to deal with.
"You think you can kill everyone. We are hundred elite assassins... And you are just one single man. What could you possibly accomplish on your own?" scoffed the man.
Hundred, my ass. I am sure there are more than a hundred ninjas. Damn! These bastards are swarming this place like ants. Well, since they are enemies, I will just roast them alive, and maybe that will teach their leader not to mess with me again in the future. But I need to know who they are.
Any clue will be helpful. But these are trained fuckers... They won't open their mouth and babble out the name of the one who sent them after me. It pains my heart, but I will have to torture that bitch with my Erotic Phermone to get info and then kill her...
...
"There is a saying, you know... Pigs hunts in groups... But a tiger always hunts alone. All I can see around me are a hundred weak pigs waiting for slaughter. What about you? Are you a pig, or are you a man?" I scoffed back with a smile.
"Oh, are you challenging me to a duel? The winner decided the fate of the loser. An honorable duel," The man took out one of his swords and threw it at me. I caught it.
"Shall we dance?" He raised his sword and took a fighting stance.
A sword. A fight to the death. Interesting.
I have never swung a sword in my life. Yet, I feel like I won't lose to him or anyone here. I took a look around. I don't see that bald biker around. Where is he? Is he planning an ambush? Whatever, I will just burn him if try something funny.

I know what I need to do now. I know how to wield a sword...
I know how to wield a sword?! This mutation is just awesome. Right now, this sword in my hand feels like an extension of my body. I wonder if this is how the mutant feels when they use their abilities. It just comes naturally.
I raised my sword, "Yeah, let's dance."
