Chapter 46: Hunt for the Archer
Artemis didn’t waste any time looking all around him, trying to find any clues to see where the archer could be.
He couldn’t be that far from them since they all attacked from the same general vicinity last time. Unless they made a run for it as soon as they saw their companions die.
"I picked up something from the left side of the road Artemis!" Amelia shouts from behind.
He immediately turns to look and catches a glimpse of the archer who begins to run. They began to make a full sprint away from the group but it wasn’t enough because both Shimada and Artemis were already on their tail.
I won’t let them get away, not when they killed my companions before. These bastards would have no mercy on any of us if the positions were swapped.
They didn’t show us mercy before I got brought back to this whole fight. So who am I kidding, these guys need to die here and now. I keep telling myself that it’s better to let people live occasionally but it’s not been the right time yet.
Shimada manages to get ahead of the archer and stops him dead in his tracks. "No more running." Shimada says with a serious tone.
It doesn’t take long for Artemis to catch up to them— He immediately brings his blade up from behind and stabs it through the archers back. Blood begins to drip down the blade and onto the ground as the archer coughs a few times.
"I wasn’t expecting guys like you to show up..." He says weakly before falling to his knees.
