We had reached a place and saw the dwarf with the only one of his surviving bodyguard.

- So nice you could join us, guys. - Salazar said.

- You again. - Leon spoke tired.

- The sacred rite that is about to begin at this tower shall endow the girl with magnificent power. She will join us, become one of us. - The little spanish commented.

- This is no ritual. It's terrorism.

- Isn't that a popular word these days? - He continued talking. - Not to worry, we've prepared a special ritual for you.

Suddenly when Salazar raised his right hand, Leon quickly threw his knife and nailed him. The dwarf began to scream in pain, in fact it seemed that he was crying, I made a face imagining what was to be felt and saw that the agent smiled mockingly.

The iluminado one who protected the dwarf didn't hesitate to remove the knife that had been impregnated between his master's hand and the wall, and he threw it back to Kennedy but he dodged it. The blonde's knife was stuck in the wall.

We saw how Salazar and his slave fled, entering an elevator.

- Stop! - Leon exclaimed trying to reach them but he couldn't.

- What a way to attack your enemy. - Luis murmured in spanish.

- He had a very good aim. - My uncle said, removing the knife from the wall while the blonde approached us.

- We have to follow them. - Leon said and Carlos handed him his knife. - We'll take the next elevator.

- Don't you think it will take time? - I interrupted.

Then the three of us, Luis, Leon and I looked at each other together.

- Upstairs! - We said in unison and ran upstairs.

It was exhausting but what other option did we have? It took us a short time, even in some parts we met some villagers and other followers of that sect.

We had to fight against them, the place wasn't very wide and it made it difficult for us to shoot everyone. Although we had finished with some, they didn't stop appearing.

Two had surrounded me and I had run out of bullets, both grabbed me, one lifted me from my feet and the other from my shoulders. I couldn't avoid it but shouted wildly for help as I tried to free myself, until Kennedy appeared nailing with his knife to the man who grabbed my feet and he fell back, freeing me.

While Leon confronted him with a knife, I managed to step on the surface and with all my strength I pushed forward, bending down so that I could lift the other guy, who had grabbed me by the shoulders from behind, and I knocked him to the ground breaking his arm.

- Laura, be careful! - Luis warned when I was recomposing and I turned to see.

An iluminado man attacked me with his ax, fortunately I managed to avoid it, I took advantage of the fact that he lowered the guard and I pushed him off by removing his weapon. I realized that the guy I broke his arm was getting up, so I threw the ax to his head and killed him.

I quickly reloaded my pistol and shot the iluminado one at a time.

- Quick, let's go! - Leon ordered who had already finished with a enemy.

We ran to keep going until a villager jumped on the agent and this in turn hit me unintentionally and I fell to the ground. I rubbed my forehead with my hand and saw that Leon was struggling with the man.

Suddenly I noticed that a huge barrel was coming to our direction, I decided to stretch the american's arm and threw him to the ground, right on top of me. I could see as in slow motion, that barrel pushed the settler, knocking him down. From the ground I watched as the villager lay dead. Then I saw Luis and my uncle both were worried, they had leaned against the wall dodging.
