HoloFabulis!

Capítulo 41: The Power of Astel Leda!

- Tsk, who are you guys?! - Asks Gura, with his trident armed, seeing several people with hoods blocking his path, in front and behind.

- We are subjects of Nyarlathotep! This city belongs to our lord! You and your pagan group will not get in the way of the sacrifice! - Shouts one of the hooded men, removing a European sword from his waist, each of the men removed their weapons, a wide variety of bladed weapons and firearms.

- Subjects, ahm... you are the lowest class of this cult of crazy people! But you are still here to delay me... Ina... - Gura thinks, not wasting much time and summoning a whip of water from the ground, hitting the crowd hard, knocking some down, while others advanced against the small shark.

...

- I'm not the type who likes to fight, you know? So please, could we solve this with a talk? – Asks Astel, in front of him there was what looked almost like a monk, with a Japanese straw hat that was used more in feudal times, he wore orange rags as clothing.

- You don't like conflict, huh? I must say that you are a very wise person despite your young age. – Says the man, slightly raising his face, he had a black goatee and was around thirty, his eyes remained closed.

- I thank you then, huh... if that's how we can reach an agreement? – Asks Astel, sitting in front of the man.

- It's rude to start a conversation without asking a person's name. – Comments the monk.

- Oh, I'm sorry! I'm Astel Leda! And what's your name?! – Asks Astel, a little shy.

- I'm Carlos Bragaan, it's a pleasure to meet you, Astel. – Says the man, taking out a bottle of drink and taking a big sip.

- So... how can we resolve this peacefully? – Asks Astel. 

- You can go, we'll go our way and you'll go yours, the girl you want to save wasn't kidnapped, she came with us of her own free will, because that's her destiny. - Carlos says.

- Her destiny? That doesn't make sense! Ina came to us to have a career at Hololive, she wants to be an artist! - Astel says, raising her voice.

- That may have been a good social disguise, but you should know that Ina comes from a family of people connected to the great ones, Ina has always been trained to be a priest of the great ones, but when the book chooses her, it only meant one thing, that she would have the greatest honor any priestess could have, to serve for the return of the greatest god of all, Nyarlathotep.

- Wait... if that's it then that means...

- Yes, Ina's family was part of the cult of true chaos. - Carlos says, taking another sip from his flask.

- That... explains a lot... but we can't leave without her! We want to talk to her and clear everything up about this! - Astel says.

- Unfortunately, boy... I can't let you see her. - Carlos says, getting up from the floor and putting the vial away.

- I imagine that... so... - Astel barely had time to react. He felt three blows to his chest, another to the side of his stomach and another to his knee. He only noticed the monk moving at an impressive speed.

- What?! - Astel falls to the floor on his knees. He feels that he is getting weaker. Those parts were numb.

- My "Look Through" technique allows my eyes to see your vital points, thus being able to easily manipulate your nerves, damaging even your ki release with these blows. - The man says, opening his eyes slightly. His iris was shaped like a sniper scope.

- Damn... arf... maybe you should think that getting close to me to attack these vital points can't be a good idea. - Says Astel.

- What? - Thinks Carlos, a large crater is formed around him and his body becomes heavy, making him fall to his knees.
