Chapter 94: Cannon Ball
Vritra watched in silence as the two sides quarreled over him. After all, it would give them quite the benefit if they could add him to their groups, so the two organizations fought verbally with one another.
While he waited patiently for the effects of Blood Lock to consume more of Number One’s strength, Vritra thought for a moment and said: "While you people decide whose team I should join, I will look around and find the exit."
"Go ahead," both replied before turning to look at one another and resuming their fight.
Just like that, almost forty minutes had passed, which meant Number One’s strength had been reduced by nearly twenty percent. Number One must have noticed it by now—he suddenly paused mid-fight and turned to look at Vritra with shock in his eyes.
He could feel that he couldn’t gather over twenty percent of his energy. His speed and strength also seemed weaker. That’s when realization dawned upon him.
’I have to kill him.’ Only this thought remained in his mind.

’It’s time to end the jokes, now the real fight begins.’ Vritra gave up all his pretenses. His body directly rushed toward one of the levers, but at the same time, Number One made his move.
He had already understood that Vritra had definitely done something with that drop of his blood. He had to kill Vritra at any cost—and as soon as possible. Before Vritra could pull any of the levers, Number One shot out of the barrier at full strength.
WHOOSH
