Ruin Guard Weak Point Novels & Stories

Bakit sa ganitong pagkakataon pa? I should be smiling and happy while watching him hush Ruin, ngunit takot at kalungkutan lang ang nararamdaman ko sa mga oras na 'yon. Lalo na nang mapalitan ng maliliit na buttons ang kaninang baril na hawak ng mga tauhan ni Rye. “I'm not the only one who has a button here, Ruan. If you're planning to do anything that I will not like, they will not hesitate to press the buttons for me.”

Basag ni Trill sa katahimikan na kanina pa panay ikot dahil hindi kabisado ang lugar. Hindi sumagot si Aziria sa sagot ni Trill, napatingin siya sa kaniyang cellphone nang bigla itong tumunog. Nang may mabasa niya, tumingin siya sa amin. "Bloody Ruin Gang." Dahilan para magulat kaming tatlo. "Bloody Ruin Gang?" Hindi namin maiwasang hindi mapatanong. "Oo," kalmadong sagot niya. "Come on, they're in the old rest house."

Sa loob, halos hindi maririnig kung anong nangyayari—pero may kutob na akong hindi maganda. Tinapik ko ang radio sa balikat ko. “Team 1, breach position. Team 2, disable their comms. Sa cue ko lang kayo gagalaw.” Tumango si Red mula sa driver seat habang sinusuri pa rin ang paligid gamit ang night-vision binoculars. “Four guards sa west, two sa entrance, may isa sa taas na lookout. Maingat sila.” “Which means may mahalaga sa loob,” bulong ko.

T-minus 10:30:00. “Marcus, gusto kong i-simulate mo ang physical attack ni Cerberus sa Geneva. Hindi siya desperate lang. Siya ay trained. Ano ang weakest link ng safe house?” “Ang weakest link ay ang comm relay sa roof. Ito ay shielded, ngunit ang physical access ay vulnerable kung gagamitin nila ang paraglider insertion mula sa nearby mountain.” Tumingin si Billie kay Mariel. “Ang giyera ay lalabas na sa screen, Mahal. Ang destruction ay hindi lang digital. Kailangan nating i-prepare ang physical defense.”

Anong naisip ko't itinuloy ko ang kahangalan na ito? Nausea filled me as we made our way inside the ominous and noisy grounds of The Ruin, ang underground fighting arena kung saan balak magpatiwakal ni Alessio. Nangilid ang luha ko nang maalala ang mukha ng kaptid pero mabilis ko ring pinalis sa isip ang kahinaang ngayon ay sumasakop sa akin. I and Karen had one shot at this. There's no repeat so we better not mess it up. Buo ang loob na inihakbang ko ang mga paa, operation saving Ally's stupid ass commencing.

“Tuturuan kita.” Hindi na siya nakatanggi pa. Hinawakan ni Christian ang kanyang kamay, matatag ngunit hindi marahas. Maingat itong gumabay habang itinuturo kung paano bumuo ng lakas sa kamao, kung paano ilalapat ang puwersa sa bawat suntok. “The weak points of the human body are the temple, behind the ear, nose bridge, jaw, and ribs. When fighting, focus your attacks on these areas.”

Behind him, across the street, between the smoke and the flashing lights, I saw a man in a gray suit standing under the broken sign of Lucky Wok. Ruin smiled at me. Then he lifted one hand. A small wave. My whole body went cold. I blinked. He was gone. Caelan shifted back just enough to look at me. “What did you see?” I stared at the empty space across the street. My wrist kept burning. Twelve days left. And Ruin had almost taken him from me. “Nothing,” I whispered. Caelan’s face hardened. This time, he didn’t believe me at all.

Hindi siya kagaya ng iba. “Matapang ka, Averill,” mahinang sabi niya. “Pero hanggang kailan mo kayang panindigan ‘yan?” Hindi pa malinaw sa kanya kung ano ang magiging papel ng babae sa buhay niya. Ngunit isang bagay ang sigurado: Handa siyang protektahan ito. Hindi dahil sa kasunduan. Hindi dahil sa utang na loob.

“Supply links are active tonight. If we hit them habang gumagalaw, mas malaki ang disruption.” “Entry points?” tanong niya kay Riven. “Three options,” sagot nito. “Pero isa lang ang low-risk.” “Define low-risk.” “Less exposure,” sagot ni Riven. “Not zero.” “Nothing is zero,” sagot ni Yuhei. Tumango si Riven. “Then that’s our best bet.” Hindi na nag-aksaya ng oras si Yuhei. “We move in phases. No direct strike sa core. We cut support, observe reaction, then adjust.”

It’s a quick experiment they did before diving into the fog, but Lucas made sure to take note of this. ‘There’s a weakpoint to all of this aura, however. It is located at the Southwest of the forest. It’s a small hole but it could still cater a body size near to Captain Favian. Knights that are bigger than the aforesaid size can’t enter to avoid death. Rather, they’ll stay outside and remain vigilant. Guard us from outside.’ This is what Merlin said in the note, and Lucas raised his head right away and looked around.
