BXBX NOVEL Chapter 107: Heroine Chapter: The Seven Sirens
[{Aim}, {Snipe}, {Imaging} - X-ray. Bella, you will tell me what happened afterwards understood?]
Jasmine uttered her thinly veiled threat as she shot down a JA155H Airbus helicopter. It probably belonged to the Hyogo Prefectural Police.
Although it was technically impossible to shoot down a helicopter from a moving car at 80 kilometers per hour. The Ebony Deathstalker did it with a factory-sighted Miroku X-Bolt Pro hunting rifle.
\'My gosh, these girls are absolutely ridiculous!\' I sighed in resignation.
A bullet, much like an arrow, was affected by wind and heat convection. So, of course, shooting a helicopter, which created massive wind currents for flight, was just crazy.
As far as I knew, {Perceive} and its family of {Fates} did not affect the bullet itself, only the ability to see.
\'Don\'t tell me she even calculated the bullet\'s curvature due to the wind? And to do that not once, but five times towards the bottom of the rotor should be impossible! I thought she was just going to shoot the pilot!\'
I had a lot of experience leading groups of talented agents, and my history with Azul Legiao had me using mercenaries to attack targets. That was why I knew how overwhelming the girls were.
If I had them while I was still alive, Comando Vermelho would probably be gone. Hell, being able to shoot down a helicopter would have changed most of our plans. But that was not what this was all about.
Jasmine had just shot down a police helicopter. And she did it in the most spectacular way possible. I began to feel sorry for Harry Evans. After today he would have a pack of monsters after him.
Even though it felt pointless, I wanted to make sure none of the girls did anything stupid.
"I\'m going to say this now, but none of you can kill him, okay?"
[Haha! That sounds fun! Bella! Let\'s play a game! I will kill the bastard. You can all try to stop me!] Josephine suggested cheerfully.
I couldn\'t help but swallow nervously. Apart from Jasmine, Josephine was also a monster. The moment I scanned Graveyard, records of the sisters\' training appeared.
\'Who the hell sends 18-year-old girls into the Syrian Civil War?! And after a year, they not only survived, but became two of the most feared murderers in the middle east!\'
The blonde Italian\'s cheerful challenge felt like something completely overbearing.
\'If I said I wanted to kill him, would you like to try stopping me?\'
The Stella Cadente, or Italian for Shooting star. Behind the kind smile of Josephine Benelli was a battle-hungry lunatic.
As proof, somewhere along the line, a Descendant from Croatia got too frisky with Jasmine. While he did try to take advantage of her, it ended with some light groping.
But Josephine didn\'t like it. No, she didn\'t like it at all.
When she heard about the incident, the nut job flew a private plane and crashed it into the Descendant\'s castle. The plane not only crashed, but it also exploded, taking almost half of the structure with it.
When the plane was subsequently examined, it was found to be loaded with enough explosives to level an entire street.
Naturally, the Croatian was furious; he was the leader of an up-and-coming order of Knights comprised of Descendants. The prestige made him both arrogant and stupid.
Little did he know that such a chaotic attack was only the beginning.
Josephine, who had been ejected just moments before the crash, then began to gut anyone and everyone she encountered. Still confused by the attack, the Order of Knights was extremely slow to react.
\'The footage I saw of her that day would make anyone piss themselves in fright.\'
A beautiful blonde Italian, covered in blood, laughing manically as she disemboweled knight after knight.
Surprisingly, none of the Descendants died. To preserve their honor, they rewrote the story and said that Josephine had just won against them in a series of duels.
Everyone probably knew that only the laws protecting the Descendants saved them. And that Josephine Benelli could come and slaughter them all if she wanted to.
And that if she did, none of them could put up any kind of resistance.
\'She is a fucking genius; All it took was one battle. The shock value of her one act made all of Europe\'s young Descendants avoid the sisters like a plague.\'
How should I respond to such a demon? I wasn\'t even sure if Josephine meant it. If she did, what could I even do?
Just then, voices I wasn\'t expecting came out to break the tension.
[Jo, if you do this, John will hate you.] Lilly added.
[Indeed. Stealing the chance for revenge would be unwise. John would probably resent you.] Surprisingly, even Liv rejected the idea.
[EHHH? I don\'t want that! I was joking guys! Haha It was a joke! Right Sis?]
[...]
The awkward silence of the raven-haired archer made everyone nervous. Knowing that a change of subject was necessary, I shifted to explain the next part of our extraction.
"Well, the bastard aside, we are in the clear. Princess. I will now ignite the building. The explosion should cover your escape. Japan is pretty peaceful, so leveling a hospital should get their attention. I also used AI imaging to make us appear but unidentifiable."
[...]
"These bitches. Can\'t you all at least say thank you? I did a lot of work, you know!"
[Thank you for your efforts, Bella. There are no computers in the North, so I have no idea what you did, but well done!]
"..."
Somehow, the Northerner\'s kindness made me feel pathetic. Why was it so hard to get some recognition in this group? I understand that I\'m kind of lame compared to them, but still.
"Whatever. I will destroy it now."
I remotely detonated the explosives laid in the hospital. Before the attack, I got the schematics of the building in advance. That made sure I knew how to bring it down, because demolition was an art.
Using satellite and CCTV cameras in the area, I heard the loud boom and the destruction afterwards.
[WOOO! That was so cool!]
[WOW! Did everyone feel that?]
[My word! Such a flashy explosion! Did you put fireworks in there?]
[GET STUFFED WANKERS!]
\'These muscle-bound brutes. They can only appreciate explosions like cavemen!\' I once again sighed in disappointment.
At times like this, I missed my honey. He might not be the smartest, but he truly appreciated my efforts.
"Speaking of which, let\'s see what he\'s been up to. {Connect}."
I connected to the graveyard with my GRI and checked the latest news. However, the top section alone of Revenant\'s news made my jaw drop.
"Honey, what the hell?"
[News - Revenants
- THE SUPER ROOKIE LIMITLESS - Mercenary clears Seven Dirge Sirens in his first night!
- Make way for the new Wraith King - SacredEdge01 finally dethroned in a massive upset!
- Who is Limitless? - The latest scoop on Hellsgate\'s newest celebrity!
- Hope of Limitless - Destitute Reapers win massive fortune on a single bet!
- 500 to 1! Was Deathfall hacked? Limitless\' 2,175 pts - how did he do it?!
... ]
There were more than twenty articles all about Honey. More than a third of them had his name in the headline.
In just one night, the man I love managed to make more than waves. He was like a tsunami that rocked the entirety of Hellsgate to its core.
Unsure what to make of it, I called Lilly privately to confirm.
"Bella? Why are you calling when we\'re already on the group line?" she answered.
"Princess, have you managed to check the headlines in Hellsgate?"
"Hahaha, amazing, isn\'t he? I had my soldiers place bets the moment his name came up in Deathfall. I can\'t wait to join him. As royalty, I was exempted from choosing a profession."
A mellifluous laugh suddenly came from the Untamed. She sounded like a proud wife or mother. Somehow it made me feel bad.
"Why are you being so smug, Lilly? Let\'s be clear, he hasn\'t chosen a kindred yet, okay?"
"Try as hard as you want, Bella. And know that it wouldn\'t make a difference."
"Ugh, never mind... How much did you make?" I asked irritated.
"You want a Ferrari? I can get you twenty. Fufufu."
"I\'m surrounded by fucking cheaters."
"All is fair in love and war, sweetheart. You don\'t even have to hide it. I\'m sure only Robin and Liv don\'t know or care."
"Tsk. I\'m hanging up."
"Try to keep your dignity, Bella."
If I had a cell phone, I probably would have thrown it away by now. I couldn\'t be left behind. Fortunately, I managed to become a Phantom without any problems. When I reunited with Honey, I would no longer be a burden.
Just then, I noticed on the screens that our convoy was about to run into trouble. Out of nowhere, a security checkpoint was set up around the airport.
"Shit! Trinity probably sent them. The visas I made are already stamped that our group has already left the country! If they get caught, it would be bad!"
\'Well, to be fair, our only concern was Aki\'s brother. Maybe we can put the other kids in a separate car and drive it off a cliff? I had a cargo plane waiting, but I didn\'t need all the cars.
\'Trinity probably already knew it was us. Why bother hiding?
How about we send a message to the bastards instead?\'
"Hmm... What should we do? Should we just fight them off? We are using someone else\'s face anyway. Should we make it as loud as possible?"
[Bella, Liv here. There is a barricade in front of us, how should we act?]
[Strewth! Can\'t we just kill them all?]
"I hear you Liv, Robyn is right. Everyone, listen up. I want you to destroy everything in your path. Trinity sent these guys. Lilly shared that Honey sees Trinity as his enemy. So why don\'t we tell them?"
Jasmine\'s voice asked in a cold tone.
[What do you mean tell them?]
I looked at the graveyard headlines and smiled.
"That we are Trinity\'s enemy and that we belong to Honey."
[Ohh! Then what do we call ourselves? The Smithets? John\'s Angels?] Josephine joked.
"Actually, I already have a name, and I got the idea from Lilly," I confessed.
[Me? I don\'t recall offering any suggestions?]
"Well, it was when you were fighting the Phantoms," I said sheepishly.
[Bella... I had my microphone muted at the time. Were you spying on me?]
"Not important! Anyway, you said we are the heralds of the coming change."
[Then, like the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, we are the heralds for Husband?] Jasmine guessed.
"Yes, we are his heralds, but we will call ourselves Sirens instead. Aki should be included so we will be called the Seven Sirens. " I explained.
[Seven Sirens. Clever. Dear cleared seven dirge sirens last night. That would definitely be his calling card. I like it. Very well.
I, Lilly Browning, concur. All in favor say aye.]
Everyone agreed unanimously. Teams naturally bond when they have something to hold them together. For us, it would be our love for John Smith, our nature as Formless, and now our identity as the Seven Sirens.
"All right! Sirens! For our first mission! Send a message to Trinity! Change is coming! And we are the ones to proclaim it!"
[ROGER!]
Like a hurricane, we then left Japan in the flashiest way possible.
