Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

32 Chapter 32



Acht was almost caught in the attack had he not jumped a few meters behind with Tania still in his arms. She was holding his clothes tightly as if she was scared. But, her expression didn't show any fear or any emotions for that matter.

When he was far enough, he let down Tania without talking since he was still holding his breath. The boy was still not sure what was happening or why the man was acting like a wild animal but he had an assumption.

'That weird substance….It's some kind of drug. Shit, I don't have much time to hold my breath.' he thought as he looked around. Most of the men in the room were still coughing and trying to resist the drug but Acht was sure that they could transform at any moment.

He was in a very bad situation. That's why he scratched the idea of fighting these people and started looking for an escape route or they will most likely turn like them.

He checked Tania and saw that she could still hold her breath for some time. Then, he tapped her shoulder and pointed at the exit as if he was telling her that he will fend them off until she could escape and then he will follow her.

Tania looked at him for a few moments then she shook her head. She refused to leave alone and wanted both of them to leave together.

'We don't have time to argue about it!' Acht glared at her to deliver his point. He had mostly 1 minute before he had to breathe.

Fortunately, it seemed like his urges made Tania comply and she nodded her head but with a weird look in her eyes. She seemed quite annoyed for some reason.

The berserk man did not attack them for some time, he seemed to be wary of Acht and he was taking his time to find a way to jump at them.

The two looked at him, then, Tania started running towards the exit. The man saw it and shrieked loudly in fury, then he ran after her trying to catch her.

*Smash*

But, the moment he closed the distance between them, he was kicked in the face roughly and sent flying to the wall behind. Acht was aware of what the man wanted and he didn't allow him to do so.

Tania continued running and Acht was following her but at a slower speed. He looked around him for any new transformed person but they were still struggling and he felt relieved.

When they reached the exit, they found the leader leaning on one of the walls and coughing loudly.

Acht didn't halt his steps and passed him quickly.

When he looked at the door, it was wide open. He was confused about why it was open but he nevertheless continued to run.

"Wait!!!! Cough!....You…Cough...Bastard!" The man saw the culprit of this disaster that fell on him and tried to chase after him but the strong hysterical coughing he had made it impossible to do so.

"You fucker!!!" He didn't waste any time and pulled out his control panel and tapped some buttons. He wanted to trap them with him inside.

The metal door started closing slowly and the two children still had some distance to cross before they could exit.

Acht clicked his tongue and ran faster as he lifted Tania to increase his pace. He was way faster than her so he could only do this to have a chance of escaping.

But, even with his full speed he still couldn't reach the door before it closed. With no other choice, he lifted Tania higher and threw her like a bag of potatoes. The girl was sent flying and straight out of the basement.

Then, the door completely closed and Acht was trapped inside.

'Fuck.' Acht cursed inwardly and looked at the leader, he still had the control panel in his hands. So, without any time to waste, Acht launched himself toward the leader to take the controller.

"You won't get….cough…this you bastard." The man smiled madly and held the controller high. Then, he threw it at the wall. The controller hit the rock-solid wall and was destroyed into pieces.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" The man laughed like a maniac and glared at Acht who for some reason didn't seem to be shocked or desperate.

He just kept running as fast as he could while keeping calm so as to not waste breath. He had no time to waste getting shocked or desperate.

'There is another one who has a control panel.' he thought to himself.

The man who had another control panel was the Shinobi that kidnapped Tania since Acht saw him use it when he opened the basement door previously.

The leader didn't get what was going through his mind until he was already far away. It then clicked in his head that one of his subordinates had another control panel.

Acht quickly returned to the room and looked for the Shinobi. Most of the men there had already turned into mad and brainless animals with distinct red eyes.

When they saw Acht they all went into a frenzy and shrieked loudly. Then, at the same time, they attacked him wildly.

'Piss off.' He used his gift and made a gravity wave that pushed all of the men away. The attack didn't damage them at all but it was enough to gain some time.

Acht looked around quickly and saw the Shinobi he was looking for still struggling which meant he was still sane. He approached him quickly and searched him for the control panel.

It took a few precious seconds for him to find the controller. Acht counted the seconds he still had left for him.

'Fuck. Only 20 seconds.' he thought as he ran back while dodging and pushing the mad men who were attacking him. It was hard enough that he had to run fast but he also had to fight while doing so. This excessive physical exercise made him exhaust the breath in his lungs even faster.

One of the men came at him from his direction so Acht didn't have a way to kick him or use his gift. So, without any hesitation, he made a leap with his right leg and landed on his head before making another leap using the man's head as support and jumped as far as he could. This move made him cross some distance quickly and reach the door.

But, he underestimated the number of people that turned out like that. The moment he landed, 4 men jumped at him from all sides. He didn't have a way to get out of it so he could only target the one in the direction of the exit.

With his sword out, Acht slashed horizontally. The attack connected and the man groaned in pain. Blood splattered everywhere including Acht's face. But, he couldn't care less about it and quickly kicked him away and tried to escape the trap they created for him.

Luckily enough, he was able to squeeze his way through but not without a cost. One of them was able to reach him and bit his left arm. Then, he savagely pulled his face away. With his teeth, he was able to pull a chunk of Acht's flesh with him.

Acht felt the immense pain but didn't groan and pushed the man away before running as fast as he could.

'Why did I get myself into this, dammit.' He cursed inwardly. The injury was very deep and blood kept trickling down his arm endlessly.

He was finally able to exit the room and even the white substance started dissipating considerably but not to the point where Acht could gamble and take a breath. Things seemed to get better and Acht was close to getting out of the place safely.

But, things weren't as easy as they seemed to be. As he tried to cross the hallway and jump the ladders, he heard another loud shriek behind him.

He took a peek to the side, there was the leader who was also looking at him with ferocious red eyes and saliva drooling down his face endlessly. The leader didn't wait and jumped at him with an even faster speed than that of his subordinates.

'Fuck.' Acht cursed his bad luck.

The young man was in a very dire situation and so for the first time in a long time, he felt that his life was threatened and he didn't have any way of getting out of it unscathed. Countless men were following him from behind and the leader was blocking his way. Add to that the fact that he had only a few seconds before he needed to breathe which meant in this case his end.

Acht's next choice will either make him survive or become a crazed beast like these men.
