Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

Long swords and daggers collided with each other, and grenades and mines continued to explode in the empty streets.

The battle between mercenaries is the kind that starts at the slightest disagreement and can lead to life and death. It has nothing to do with the past friendship, as long as the war starts, it will be bloody.

Just like what W said at the beginning, it was also as plain as Hedley's answer.

When a person dies, it is death, even if they were once close partners and lovers. when!

The dagger was once again placed across the spot where the long sword struck, blocking the attack that should have taken off one of his arms. W took advantage of the situation and retreated, holding the grenade launcher in his left hand and cautiously aiming at Hedley, who was silent on the spot..

The soreness and numbness in his right hand is not an illusion. Compared to Hedley, who is experienced in close combat, W's strengths are more in using bombs and Origin Stone skills to penetrate, destroy and even disrupt the battlefield. He fights purely with daggers. Under the circumstances, even Ines may not be able to win it, let alone fighting Hedley.

W knows Hedley very well. If he wants to win against his opponent, he will have no hope unless he fights a battle with an ambush. As for his current situation, it was probably only possible to distance himself and use bombs to destroy the battlefield environment - not even to win - but to escape from the pursuit of this old acquaintance in front of him.

But just as W has the same knowledge, Hedley also knows W equally well. when! Dang Dang Dang!

The mercenary who forced W back with one blow was unyielding. He almost didn't give W a chance to breathe before he got close to him again. The moves of the long sword in his hand were simple but deadly. Every blow was powerful and heavy, bullying. It’s W’s physical weakness as a woman. The long sword's slashing had turned into a hard blow at this moment, leaving several gaps in W's dagger.

The distance is neither far nor close, just within the attack range of the long sword, but it prevents W from exerting the attack power of the bomb, and even the grenade launcher in his hand is almost unusable.

"cut——！"

Being constantly being plotted and at a disadvantage made W a little anxious. Fighting the severe cramp-like pain in his right hand, he stretched out his arm and poked the dagger along Hedley's offensive line, forcing the latter back.

At this moment, W already showed a clear sense of embarrassment, and the frequency of the rise and fall in his chest was no longer concealed. The right hand he had just overused had to rest on the grenade launcher gun in his left hand, but he was still trembling a little.

"——You become weak, W."

Looking at W, who had lost most of his combat effectiveness, Hedley did not choose to kill him immediately - this of course had nothing to do with pity, but because he knew the former colleague in front of him too well. He used to be a madman, but in special After His Highness Lecia's death, she became a complete lunatic.

If she took action at this time, W would probably, no, would definitely choose to fight with him to death... Of course, he was sure to survive, but this It’s not cost-effective.

Mercenaries fight for profit, and they will always pay for every penny they pay in battle.

"how? Are you telling me this to show how comfortable you are?"

W spat out a mouthful of blood, raised the grenade launcher in his hand, and aimed at the target not far away:"It's not humorous at all to talk nonsense in a battle of this level... Hedley"

"I say this because if it were the original you, you would definitely answer with the weapons in your hands instead of your words. Seeing that W

's face became even more ugly after hearing his words, Hedley just continued expressionlessly:"You are stalling for time - in the previous battle, you at least looked in the direction where those two people escaped. Three times... was it because of the Rhode Island uniform she was wearing?"

"……"

What Hedley didn't expect was that when the words reached this point, W seemed to be amused by something, and there was an emotion of pity in his eyes.

"Of course...yeah...you probably don't remember it a long time ago……"

Shaking his head, the playful look in W's eyes replaced the weakness more. He looked at Hedley and spoke word by word.

"Have you really forgotten it, or don’t you want to remember it? ——At least don’t tell me that you don’t even know who that red-haired girl is, right? Hedley was startled, and then the emotion called"surprise" appeared for the first time in his dull expression.

"——Night Snatcher? No, no, she doesn't count."

W smiled

"Yes, not really - but compared to other Night Snatchers, this girl's identity is even more special."

The white-haired Sakaz mercenary looked directly at his former superior, partner, partner, and current enemy. He shrugged without fear, and a crazy smile crept back onto his face.

"At the end of the day, I'm still very curious, very, very, very curious."

W spoke slowly, and even released the grenade launcher on his waist with his right hand, but Hedley felt his heart jump for no reason, as if a huge danger was about to come.

"Regulus Harvey, the Blade of Rhodes - is he really dead?"

——Swipe!

The long sword finally couldn't hold back and slashed forward, targeting the girl's slender and fragile neck. There was a trace of madness in the girl's eyes, and she stretched her neck indifferently, and the detonator she held in her hand suddenly pressed down.

"——Okay, both sides stop fighting!"
