"Very good ladies, I hope with all my heart that you achieve your goals, I regret that you have not been able to see the family served as it should, but it seems that your services are not required." - Said the young brown-haired woman to the wounded young women who had their bags ready.
"As you know, due to your actions and duties last week, my mother has decided to reward you with your 'premature retirement' if you are free to leave." - Miss Cassandra said in a youthful and charismatic way. - But before being marked, they will have to do the family one last favor. "
While Cassandra was explaining the situation to the girls, she had handed them 4 wine red envelope letters. The girls recognize those envelopes, it was in those envelopes where the letters were where they requested them a long time ago.
"The letters will be delivered to the new girls who will take your places." - Miss Dimitrescu explained - "But first of all, what happened to you 2 and the other 3 girls last week?" - Asked directly and seriously Cassandra to the girls.
One of the injured girls answered the question.
"A gas mine exploded, leaving the 5 badly injured, the other 3 girls did not succeed, however, we did, but due to the explosion, it left us in a very bad physical condition, so Lady Dimitrescu fired us prematurely. " - One of the girls answered.
"Is that true, Daciana?" Cassandra asked the other girl.
"Yes, it is, my left leg and my burned arm are proof of it" - replied with panic in their eyes the other girl.
"Fantastic, you won the appreciation of my mother and especially of Bela." - Miss Dimitrescu told them
.- "However, if you reveal what really happened here, I swear that I will pay you a visit and I will finish with my sickle what the explosive of the man-thing could not, understand?" - The lady said in a mocking and sadistic tone Cassandra as she materialized her sickle.
"As clear as water, Miss Dimitrescu" - answered Daciana.
"Very good, good luck then!." - Cassandra said as she allowed the girls to go out the front door .- "I hope you find useful men-things so that they may beget many and only" daughters "."
"Again I fell asleep." - Erron said as he got out of bed. The last thing he remembered was thinking about the Duke's firearms that were marked by the seal of the Black Dragon. He had remembered the argument between the Duke and the beast or Lycan as they were known in this region. Some soldiers attacked Lord Heisenberg and Lady Dimitrescu 1 week ago. The beast spoke of "simple firearms" and from what Erron saw, those were not simple weapons.
In addition to the fact that the night before he remembered that the Duke had business with that Lady Dimitrescu only that for the next day he would bring that advanced arsenal.
The more he thought, the more logical it was. That client was Lady Dimitrescu and those soldiers were mercenaries of the Black Dragon. The question was ... what was the Black Dragon doing in that area? Did it have something to do with this Mother Miranda? Or maybe that statue in the cave he came from?
He asked himself those questions, in a way to overcome boredom, when he lost consciousness in bed only to wake up and look out the window and see how the moon began to rise to dimly illuminate the villa.
Erron considered that perhaps the Lupu family are willing to serve him, seeing them in such an intimate moment made him want to get away, he did not want to annoy them just for a drink. However, it seemed like he would have to screw them up not just for a drink, but for dinner as well. The Duke's food was delicious, but not enough to fill Erron completely.
"Damn fat, I thought you would serve me more than expected, considering your unusual body." - Erron thought as he put on all his clothes without exception. He put on his cape and walked to the door. He left absolutely nothing of his property in the room.
Erron went downstairs, only to see that the bar was only 2 people, Elena and Leonardo. Leonardo while cleaning some glasses and Elena with her dress and a large sweater, she also carried a small suitcase. Her face was empty, without that youthful essence that he gave off from her when he met her. Compared to the old man, who had a face of anger and at the same time helplessness.
Erron just walked over to the bar and sat on one of the bar chairs.
"A drink of whiskey, bartender." - said Erron to Leonardo.
The man accepted the order, took the bottle and poured some into a glass. He hand it to Erron.
Erron, began to remove his leather and metal mask, only to take half of the gulp from him. The atmosphere seemed like a funeral, so quiet and no more noise than a room clock.
"Elena, tell me what's for dinner?" - Erron asked the young woman's direction.
"I'm sorry Mr. Black, but I didn't make dinner today, my dad will make up for it tomorrow." - Said the young woman to Erron's direction with an empty smile. Simple hospitality.
"What a disappointment, well I think I'll have an empty stomach tonight." - Erron said as he finished the last drink of his whiskey.
Erron proceeded to order another drink, Leonardo had handed him another, when the neighing of horses had broken the monotonous silence. Erron heard the noise and continued as if nothing. The sight of him focused on his drinking didn't allow her to see the faces of the other 2 people in the room. As the horse noises faded, the animalistic footsteps that had reached the entrance of the premises could be heard.
Erron, he had heard the noise, that of erratic footsteps and the subsequent noise of the horse in the shed. He sensed the danger behind the door. Then the door was thrown open.
As if they were regulars, 2 Lycan entered, and like the beasts that they are only stayed near the entrance while the third Lycan towards its main entrance.
"ELENA LUPU !, ON BEHALF OF LADY DIMITRESCU, YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED, COME WITH ME NOW TO TAKE YOU BEFORE HER PRESENCE" - Exclaimed the man-beast with great authority.
Elena Lupu got up from the chair to walk towards the man-beast, only to be taken by the shoulder by her father, who proceeded to hug her, saying goodbye to her.
"Promise me that you will make it." - The old man said through tears.
"And you don't burn the kitchen." - Said the girl with a smile in a sea of tears.
"ENOUGH! COME HERE NOW! "-Ivan said, disgusted by the father's embrace of her daughter, the girl obeyed and steeled herself to one side of the beast with her low and submissive gaze. - "BUT BEFORE, WHO DOES THE GRAY HORSE WITH WHITE SPOTS ON THE OUTSIDE BELONG TO?"
No one answered her question.
"IF NOBODY ANSWERS ME I WILL CUT OFF THIS BITCH'S FINGER !
The old man was about to raise his voice, only to be interrupted by the sound of an empty glass hitting the bar table.
"It's mine now, is there a problem?" - Erron said as he turned with the bar chair.
"WHERE DID YOU GET IT?" - Ivan asked angrily when he saw the man sitting down.
"I found him tied to a tree, ..." - Erron said as he put on his mask- "... next to 3 corpses of those Lycan on the road."
"SO IT WAS YOU ! YOU AND THE MERCHANT HAVE SOMETHING TO SEE ! "- Exclaimed the beast with great emotion. He had him there, the cowardly marksman, he would have the evidence to be able to eliminate the Duke as well. - "YOU WILL ALSO COME WITH ME !" - He pointed with his gray finger to the direction where the shooter was sitting.
The other 2 Lycan approached menacingly, armed with their rusty weapons very threatening to the stranger. These beasts were so familiar to Erron, they were the hairy and ugliest version of the Tarkatans.
The 2 beasts pounced at the same time on that man sitting only to….
[X -ray. Two bullets are fired from 2 different guns at the same time. Bullet A from gun A hits the skull of subject A. As soon as it hits the lower part of the subject's face, bullet A splits in two (A1 and A2) causing more damage to the cranial chamber destroying the diseased brain of subject 2 bullets end up exiting the skull in different directions, causing two holes in Subject A's skull.
Meanwhile, bullet B from pistol B hits the rib cage of subject B, the bullet splits in two upon entering the body of subject B (B1 and B2) causing damage to vital organs. The B1 bullet destroys a deformed gray heart to the core while the B2 bullet hits the other malformed lower organs. Only one bullet makes it out of the body and it is the B1 bullet.]
… .. receive a bullet impact each. All this time the man had his revolvers pointed at the 2 Lycan, only that the great white cape hid them from his sight, although most likely these beasts did not understand how a firearm worked.
As the corpses of the Lycan fell to the ground, Ivan took the young girl tightly.
"DAMNED! IF YOU DO SOMETHING STUPID, THE GIRL DIES ! "-He exclaimed angrily as he held the girl as if she were a shield and with another hand stroked Elena's neck with her sharp nails. - "I WILL TAKE MY HORSE, I WILL GET AWAY WITH THE WHORE AND THEN I WILL COME BACK FOR YOU 2 !
Erron was still sitting in the chair, while Leonardo just watched helplessly as his little girl was threatened.
"Counteroffer, I don't give a damn about Dimitrescu's business with the Lupu family but still, let go of the girl and go away and possibly I'll let you live to see another day." - Erron said seriously and in a relaxed way.
"FUCK YOU !" - The beast yelled angrily.
"Okay, you asked for it." Erron said with a sigh at the end of his sentence.
In a fraction of a second, the desperate and paranoid sight of the beast, which was fully focused on Erron, focused its gaze on the old man, who was behind the bar, took out his old double barrel shotgun. That split second will be expensive.
[X ray. A bullet shoots out of a revolver. The bullet moves in the direction of a left arm that was holding a female body. The bullet manages to hit the subject's elbow. Immediately upon touching the elbow, the bullet splits in two. The A1 bullet manages to pass through the arm and goes to the subject's left chest, the A1 bullet manages to hit the left lung.
While the A2 bullet continues through the arm until it reaches the shoulder while destroying the veins and nerves that connect the arm with the nervous system, which makes the arm never useable.]
A cry of pain came from the beast's jaws. As Ivan screamed, Elena managed to free herself from her grasp, Elena ran in the direction of her father, who was now holding a shotgun, aiming at the wounded beast.
After screaming in pain, the beast only limited himself to seeing how the old man pointed the shotgun at him and how the man at the bar began to get up. Ivan was not like the other beasts that died by directly attacking their enemies, Ivan, like the other Neo-Lycan, had the instinct for self-preservation. Ivan only had to accept that he had lost, he would not manage to beat 2 armed men.
The beast opened the door behind him and began to run for his life. Although he hated running on all fours, he wanted to run on all fours, but his left arm was useless and his breathing was lousy. He couldn't run very far, just long enough to meet his siblings and….
[X-ray. A bullet shoots out of a lever action rifle. The bullet manages to hit the subject's back. This bullet is divided into 2 more bullets, A1 and A2. The A1 bullet manages to hit the upper part of the spine, destroying it in the process, the bullet continues its way until it reaches the stomach. The A2 bullet hits the lower part of the spinal column, destroying it completely, the bullet continues its trajectory until it lodges somewhere in the large intestine.]
Ivan fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes. He couldn't feel anything on her left arm and neither could his legs. He was bleeding and gasping for air. This was the end for him.
"I offered you a deal and you refused." Erron said as if he was really disappointed.
"I HATE YOU ! MY BROTHERS WILL COME FOR YOU AND YOUR DAMN TRAITOR FRIENDS !" - Ivan exclaimed with hatred. "MY BROTHERS WILL SAY THAT THE YOUNG GIRL DIED, BUT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS THAT THEY WILL RAPE HER TO DEATH! WHILE THEY WILL CASTRATE YOU AND EAT YOU ALIVE, DAMN PIECE OF …"
Erron was fed up with the illusions and empty threats of the already dying beast. He wouldn't waste any more bullets on such a rude and already dying creature. Erron found a cheaper solution in his boot.
With great force, Erron smashed Ivan's skull with his boot 3 times until there were no more screams or heavy breaths. Ivan was dying on the cold ground, abandoned. The last thing his gray eyes saw was an approaching figure. This other figure was dimly lit by a lighter that simultaneously lit a cigar.
"LORD ... HEISEN ..."
"Wow, I just came for a shot of whiskey before to go to the meeting." - Said a figure that had come out of the shadows. - "But I see that I will have to make a" civic arrest ", I'm afraid."
Erron looked in the direction that mysterious figure had come from. It was the "mechanic" he saw in the afternoon. However, he now smoked a cigar and at the same time carried a hammer as big as Shao Kahn's.
"Where are my manners? Lord Karl Heisenberg" -said the stranger as he took his hat in greeting. "And what is yours, outsider?"
"Erron Black" - replied the gunman.
"Erron Black ..." - Heisenberg said - "... I didn't have the opportunity to tell you this in the afternoon, but, from one man with a good hat to another one, good hat."
"Thank you, I can say the same." - Said Erron- "But you just said" civic detention "and the truth is I don't like that." - He finished saying while under the cloak, his hands caressed his revolvers.
"Very simple, let me explain it to you, those dogs that you eliminated were collecting the maidens of the town to deliver them to the great" Lady-bitch "of the Castle." -
Heisenberg explained as he pointed at Ivan's corpse and then at the Castle in the distance. - "But by interfering in the traditional harvest of maidens, it seems to me that you have committed a crime against the village's traditions."
Heisenberg finished saying while several pieces of metal began to appear behind Heisenberg as if they were flies. They were mostly metal plates, coming from the blacksmith's house that was 3 minutes from the inn.
"But believe me, Mother Miranda's gonna love you." - Heisenberg said- "Although the other bitch not so much."
With a wave of his hand he threw several pieces of metal at Erron's chest, but Heisenbeg did not expect what would happen next.
Several shots were heard hitting metal chunks falling to the ground. Heisenberg had thrown 12 pieces of metal at Erron to wrap him in a cocoon. However what Heisenberg did not know was that for each bullet that hit a metal plate, the bullets were divided into 2, causing more bullets to collide with the metal plates, Heisenberg threw all the plates that continued to levitate. The last 5 plates fell to the ground when colliding with the bullets.
"Wow, you are special." - Heisenberg said, holding his hammer with both hands while he looked at Erron with his pistols from which smoke came out. - "It seems that we will do it the old way."
Erron had no more ammunition in his revolvers, he had to reload, but there was no time and Heisenberg certainly wouldn't give him that time. Erron tucked his pistols into his holsters and proceeded to remove the Tarkatan saber from its holster. He grasped it and got into position.
"Then what are you waiting for." - He said in defiance of the man with the hammer. Erron wanted Heisenberg to attack first.
"THIS IS HOW I LIKE IT !" - Heisenberg shouted, throwing himself into Erron's position.- "THAT'S THE SPIRIT !"
Heisenberg tried to hit Erron with his hammer, however, Erron was quicker to jump a few steps behind him. The hammer ended up hitting the corpse of the dead beast, the smelly and dark blood of the beast soaked the 2 men. However, Heisenberg's hammer got stuck on the corpse, he couldn't get it out.
Erron took the initiative by attacking Heisenberg's neck with his saber, precisely to behead him right there. However, Heisenberg's hand moved a piece of metal that protected him from Erron's saber.
"Wow, I see that you are very determined to kill me, did you?" - Said Heisenberg when he finally took his hammer from the corpse of the fallen beast. - "But believe me, I don't have all day, Miranda and her ass licking are waiting for me."
Heisenberg charged Erron. Erron couldn't strike his saber with the hammer. His saber would break. The best he could do was dodge and they wait for a good moment to attack.
The bad thing about great hammers is that they are very slow, no matter the user, even Shao Kahn was slow to use his great warhammer.
The hammer hit the ground. In an instant of distraction, Heisenberg watched as Erron's saber was, for the second time, attempting to decapitate him.
"You're a one-trick horse, from what I see." Heisenberg thought, as he raised his hand with the intention of manipulating Erron's sword with his powers. - "But as you know, I have several …."
[X-RAY. The Tarkatan saber, which has a high composition of calcium with a small tungsten alloy, cuts a human hand from the wrist, the saber pierces flesh, tendons, veins and bones with some difficulty due to the high levels of iron within. of the subject.]
Erron cuts off his hand, even though his main target was his head. Erron takes a couple of steps back.
"DAMN YOU SON OF A BITCH !" Heisenberg screamed in great pain, as he held his right hand now to his stump, the cut was clean, his hand had fallen into the snow.
"ENOUGH GAMES !" - Heisenberg said while with his left hand he manipulated a large chain that moved like a snake through the snow towards Erron's direction. The big chain caught Erron like a boa constrictor, only this boa was a 2-meter-long metal chain. Erron's entire body was caught by the metal chain, releasing his saber. Erron had fallen to the ground.
"Good night, Erron Black," Heisenberg said as he spat at Erron's body, then kicked him in the face with his steel-toed boot, knocking him out.
