Chapter 7 - Mission: Scythe-man

Ivan, Ruby and other employees started their duties 2 days after the last meeting. The employees who act in teams complete their duties in 4 days and receive their extra salaries. On the first day of the duty, Ivan and Ruby's struggle begins with a few employees.

"Ruby, maybe nearby."

"Okay, I hear him. He's only 30 feet away from me, we might have a better chance of attacking him from behind."

"I can see that he is a very angry man. One wrong move and we will be cut down."

"I know, and I can hear him. I can feel his breath just beyond the wall. We must attack now, Ivan."

"Okay. When I count down from three, we attack. Get your sharpshooter ready."

"Okay, I'm looking... The preparations have a positive result, I'm ready."

Ivan and Ruby, took action to complete the given mission. However, the winners of this fierce fight were Ivan and Ruby. It was like a miracle that this task was completed, with Ruby coming out seriously injured. The person they were fighting was a serial killer called "Scythe-man". At the moment when he was going to win the fight, Ivan kept his sharpness and emerged victorious from the fight.

"Ruby, now!"

"I'm going to put the sickle head in another side. Elemental Cut, Rock Cleave!!"

"You're doing well Ivan. I'll keep making small cuts. You'll be done. I want to go home right away from here."

"I'm not available to talk. Elemental Cut, Rock Cocoon!!"

"Good thinking. Now finish you-"

"You knew the trash cocoon wouldn't work on me. But you still had to use it, I know. What would you do if I told you that you were going to taste my power now?"

As a result of Ivan's mistake, Ruby was seriously injured by the Scythe-man. The echoing of his mocking words and laughter was very disturbing for a depressed man like Ivan. All he could think about now was finishing his work.

"Looks like I need to break up this disgusting guy once and for all. I'm a businessman after all. Let's get started. I'll do my work by beating you."

"You must not seriously think that kind of words will work on me. You are in for a major disaster, Ivan Ross!!!"

While Ivan and the Scythe-man were fighting, Ruby was lying unconscious. In order to prevent his quest partner's death, Ivan simply attacked with all his might. However, a very strange event occurred during the fight. At the moment when the Scythe-man was about to die, he grabbed Ivan's leg;

"You are in a great disaster, no, in fact we all are. But you-"

After this incident, Ivan, who was covered in blood and had a very confused face, was surprised by the feeling he experienced when the Scythe-man touched his leg with his strange words in the last seconds of his death. Ivan, who left the scene with Ruby in his arms, was still in shock. Thinking that he had been in such an event a few times but could not remember the previous one, he set out to go to the hospital for Ruby.
