Chapter 26

Ivan's pov:

Unti-unti kong dinilat ang dawang mata ko at bumungad sa'kin ang medyo nalidim na silid, I slowly stood up and felt like I've been hit bu a truck but I suddenly remembered what happened.

"Finally your awake," a woman said.

Tumingin naman ako rito at suot nito ay uniform ng isang pulis, I gave her a cold glare before answering her with a question.

"Where the hell am I?" I asked with a flat tone.

"Isn't it obvious? Your in a prison cell," she said with mocking tone.

I stood up and went face to face with her. "I know what prison is, I'm not stupid like you."

"Trying to be brave tsk, be careful kid. In just one snap and you'll be dead," she responded.

I laughed at her before looking at her eye to eye. "You should be the one afraid of me, I'm not like your other inmates, I can kill you within a snap."

"We'll see if you really can survive at all of the challenges and stay alive for so long, don't worry I won't go easy on you." she warned back.

"I won't get intimidated by you, no one scares me," I responded before turning my back on her and laying on the bed.

"We'll see," she said with a smirk before turning her back on me.

The only thing that I need to do is to stay alive no matter what happens, Kinabukasan ay agad akong bumangon matapos pumasok ng dalawang guard. Kinabitan ako ng tila isang tracker sa leeg bago ako posasan at kaladkarin, kitang-kita ko ngayon ang ilang leader ng bawat rebelde sa bawat bansa. We all went silent when we arrive at the mall facility where a woman is standing infront of the stage, she's the one who talked to me last night.

"Good Morning you pieces of garbage, I'm General. Marvy of Russia. Every single one of you will be an enemy of each others, the first round will a survival of the fittest. 20 out of 195 will remain standing, the next month will be pairing and only 12 of you will remain before the final round of 1 on 1," General Marvy announced.

Tumango naman ang mga ito bago tumayo kumain ng pag-kain na binigay sa'min, while eating a woman suddenly approached me. The woman is around her 30's and have a masculine features and an eye patch.

"I'm the leader of the Skiey pirate of Ireland, how about you?" she asked.

"I'm the leader of the Rebellion in Philippines," I responded.

Bigla naman tumahimik ang paligid dahil sa sagot ko.

"It's nice to meet someone who's strong enough to face the country of the reason of the advancement of the world," she said with a strong Irish accent.

Umupo naman ito sa tabi ko at tinuloy ang pag-kain, hanggang ngayon ay dama ko parin ang pag-tingin nila sa'kin kaya huminga ako ng malalalim at tinuloy ang pag-kain.

"Everyone is staring at you," she said while looking around.

"Maybe because I'm the leader of the Rebellion in the Philippines," I explained.

Matapos kumain ay dinala kami sa isang hall at agad namin nakita ang mga sandata namin, lumapit naman agad ako sa Venus Scythe ko at ngumiti.

"I'm not that evil to let all of you not be prepared for the events," General. Marvy said with a smile.

Lumapit naman sa'kin ang babaeng kaharap ko kanina at may hawak itong war hammer, each country has 5 of each weapon made by the empire but on each weapon only 1 is considered as top of list of the Philippine weapons list.

"My name is Cess and my empire weapon is Hammera, this empire weapon is considered as top 51 on the strongest empire weapon if it is in the Philippines," she said with a smirk plastered on her lips.

"You're flexing your weapon infront of someone who use a heavenly weapon can be considered as a shameful action," a man suddenly said.

Tumingin naman kami rito at pansin ko ang kayabangan nito, his presence disgusted me.

"I'm Muraco the leader of Hearenthel Rebellion of Russia, my armory weapon is Silver heat," he explained while flexing his armory.

"If I were you I'll start leaving us alone," I said to him with a warning tone and griping my Venus scythe.

Muka naman nainis ito at lumayo sa'min.

"So your weapon is considered as a heavenly one?" Cess asked.

"Yes," I responded.

My weapon and Jannelliza's was considered as heavenly because of the ace card of it, the Ace card of Jannelliza's weapon is called the hit of mercury, it can grant her a strong will and make her invincible for a short span of time. While my Ace Card can make me move more faster than before and put me into a full bloodlust monster until I kill my enemy, our Ace Card will only be active if you wound up ourselves or stab ourselves with out weapon.

"It's much better if we start to practice," the only thing I've said before walking into a firing range.

Tumingin ako sa limang dummy at binaril ang mga ito, every bullet is strong which made everyone stare at me. Tumingin naman ako kay Cess at ang galaw nito ay nakakamangha dahil sa bawat atake nito ay puno ng lakas, the way she blocked those dummies and throw them all shows how strong she is. Bigla ko naman na pansin ang babae na nanonood dito kaya lumapit ako rito, muka naman itong na gulat pero ngumiti lamang ito sa'kin.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"I'm Dalisay, the leader of Jurishi clan of Japan," she responded.

"What's your weapon?" I asked again.

"My weapon is the shibori samurai, this can generate a strong sharp wind attack," she explained.

Tumango naman ako at tumingin kay Cess na palapit sa'min.

"You're so cool," Dalisay compliment on Cess.

"That was nothing," Cess responded while swirling her war hammer.

They quickly got along to each other and I'm just silently listening to their conversations, we all stopped when we saw General. Marvy killing a rebel who tried to escape.

"Drop his body on his camp and let them know how coward their leader is," General. Marvy said before turning her back on the dead body.

"She's really scary," Dalisay said while looking at Marvy who smirked at me before walking away.

"Yeah she is, but I got a feeling that she's trying to intimidate you Kid." Cess said.

"I mocked her last night," the last thing I responded.

Sumapit ang hapon ay na ligo ako matapos kong masigurado na ako na lang mag-isa, matapos kong maligo ay naka-rinig ako ng kaluskos, I prepared myself from any attack specially I don't have my Venus Scythe. A man suddenly appeared and tried to stab me, I manage to block his attack using a shirt that I used. I quickly kick his stomach but I wasn't able to disarm him, he's now playing with his knife while looking at me.

"Who ordered you to try assassinating me?" I asked with a flat tone.

At this moment I can't show him that I'm still feeling weak after the explosion yesterday, if I made a mistake I'll die. I low-key touched my side because I can feel a little pain from it, tumingin naman ako rito my seryoso dahil baka umatake ito.

"You don't need to know," the mask man responded before attacking me again.

This time I was able to disarmed him and throwed him into the glass, I quickly took the knife from the floor and stab it to his neck.

"Die," I whispered and drag his body.

I can already hear the noise inside the dining hall but it all went silent after I entered the hall while dragging the body, Cess and Dalisay after they saw me dragging a dead body. Ngumisi naman ako kay General. Marvy bago ibato sa kanya ang bangkay ng lalake, tumingin naman ito ng masama sa'kin bago ko ito lalong ngisian.

"If you're trying to intimidate me using a low life soldier then you won't achieve it," I said before giving her a little smile.

Lumapit naman ako kila Cess at Dalisay na kumakain, bumalik na unti-unti ang ingay pero naramdaman ko ang pag-kalabit ni Dalisay sa'kin.

"You're so brave Ivan, for a youngster like you." Cess tap my shoulder and smile.

Umiling naman ako rito at tinuloy ang pag-kain, dumating naman ang Gabi ay unti-unting bumabalik ang mga kasama namin sa selda nila.

"We'll see you tomorrow," ngiting sabi ni Dalisay.

"I'll see you both tomorrow," I responded.

Habang nag-lalakad ay bigla akong hinarang ni General. Marvy.

"You can never scare me on my own territory you rebel," she said with a warning tone.

I gave her a blank facial expressuon before pulling my arm on her grip. "Then never try to underestimate me, you might be on your own territory but I can always take you down in a snap. The Philippine Rebellion wouldn't make a terrifying name without me, it's your mistake for capturing me because this only means that you want chaos on your country. I'll never get scared of you General. Marvy, the only one that scares me is not bring down the empire."

"I'm the strongest General on the history of Russia, I won't let a lowlife rebel like you underestimate me," she firmly responded.

I laughed at her because of how stupid she is before responding. "I didn't underestimate you, I'm just saying that you can never scare me. You can never make me down on my knees Marvy, even General. Jannelliza considered me equal to her because I'm not weak like you."

Kita ko naman ang pag-kuyom ng kamao nito kaya tinalikuran ko ito dahil wala naman akong mapapala sa kanya.

I looked at her again before smiling evilly. "Tattoo this to your head, you can never be equal to me because I'm much more superior than you. I'm strong with or without my weapon, and I'm much more strong without any rank like you to feel superior even if they are weak.

After that I went back to the line to rest on my cell.
