Duel at No Man's Land - Part 2: Explosive Battle, Close Combat Encounter
The attack from Daisuke set off a explosion that shook the bar from cornerstones to rooftop. A massive ball of fire engulfed the place, rising black chemical smoke into the sky, and burning the nearby buildings. The bar was decimated by the explosion, the stench of charred meat filled the air, as the bodies, victims of Eastern Wolf impacience, as he didnt wanted to wait to get a drink, and becouse the townspeople looked at him too much with surprise and fear in their eyes. The whole building was now more akin to a crater than any kind of human ruins. Any regular man would have perished in the blaze of flames created by the young Magus attack, but Falken was far from being regular, and only man in part. His advanced brain, processed the information of 20 cambots placed strategically around the town, granting him 20 different points of view and angles to analize a battlefield. His bionic enhacements allowed him to not only manage that ammount of information flawlessly, but he could also react accordingly to it. The moment he detected the intent of Daisuke to attack the gas tank to trigger a chain of explosion to kill or maim him. The Falcon Eyed Mercenary sensors predicted the power of the explosion and the extension of it. Falken started moving before the arrow reached the tank and took cover, while ordering his nanites and bionic endodermic armor to go full power, shutting down other functions, like breathing and his enhanced eyesight. It was only for seconds, yet his plan worked, as the building besides the bar withstood most of the explosion, and the enhaced defense did the rest of the trick. The Cambots were hidden, cloaked and had their own armor, so it was virtually impossible to destroy them without focusing on them. The Dual Wield Killer didnt used the same plating on himself since it would poison him. The preliminar analisis were ready revealing something that Falken already supposed " I really hate Wizards" were the words in the mind of the Elite Hired Gun.
From his cover, he returned his body settings to normal function, restoring his breathing and the regular armor under his skin. The Cambots were still analizing, yet Falken decided to take a closer approach, he had the utmost confidence on his own skills, and thanks to the still burning remains of the bar the battleground was blurry, as the black smoke was covering the town. Thanks to his bionic parts he could filter the excess of nocive gas in the air, and his eyes, plus the Cambots allowed him to keep track of the battlefield without any problems. The Herald of Death decided to take this battle into a closer range, since he thought he could handle a young hero that was just starting his career, different from him that was a seasoned veteran, killing and completing missions since he was 12 years old, or maybe younger, he didnt kept track of the time under the Project he worked for. This could prove to be overconfidence, but Falken liked challenges, a situation with less chances to get out from allowed him to avoid rusting, since regular killings were not only dull and boring, he also got his skills maimed by the lack of difficulty. Sometimes he reduced his enhacements power, only to have better challenges, yet he never had the chance of a real fight, and this boy could provide that. Walking away from his cover, clouded in the black smoke, almost like a spectral vision, Falken took a running stance, and charged foward with his top speed, the floor, already unstable after the explosion, broke like old breadcrumbs. This explosive dash couldnt last long, so it was only used to shorten the space between them. As he moved foward he dished a volley of bullet with both guns, with amazing accuracy, aiming to cripple Daisuke. The bullets were mixed, some particle beam-like bullets and some exploding tip bullets. As he was about to reach the young Magus he feinted for one side and then to the other with incredible skill, yet he jumped, vaulting over his opponent, while he kept shooting and spinning over him.
Mid-air he summoned two sticky grenades, and using his body as cover, he kicked both in a high arc, hidding them on the black smoke, and with pin-point accuracy to fall behind Daisuke when he timed them to. He landed, while the grenades were still high and charged with increased ferocity, once again making feints and cuts to the side. Yet he passed by the side of Daisuke attacking with both bayonets, the beam blade and the heat blade, and just as he attacked, the sticky bombs fell behind Daisuke, that luckly had turned around to face him. He runned throught the Magus side, and ended his rush by jumping, spinning mid-air and shooting while landing on his back, this time aiming for the bombs that had landed under Daisuke feet. Falken rolled on his back and took cover in a nearby piece of debris...
