Executioner's League-Chapter 83: The Re-Ignited Flame!
Chapter 83 - 83: The Re-Ignited Flame!
Senjuro steered the jeep
sharply toward Sector D-17, moving with deliberate speed. As they entered the
zone, he quickly activated the formation map of the Vanguard forces. Streams of
data and movement markers flashed across the screen. His sharp eyes immediately
caught sight of a Vanguard vehicle heading toward the entrance of Sector D-5.
Without hesitation,
Senjuro revved the engine, accelerating toward the Vanguard's path. In one
smooth maneuver, he allowed the jeep to slip just into the Vanguard's line of
sight before disappearing into the shadows of Sector D-5.
The Vanguard, spotting
what he thought was an intruder slipping into D-5, immediately relayed the
information to the sector teams. Within seconds, forces swarmed Sector D-5—but
found nothing. Not even tire tracks.
Moments later, another
Vanguard in a distant area reported seeing Senjuro entering Sector D-23.
Conflicting reports flooded the Vanguard network, and confusion began to spread
like wildfire.
Senjuro's method was
working perfectly. The tightly coordinated formation was beginning to unravel.
Panic crept into the comm-chatter; orders overlapped, conflicting sightings
piled up. Within minutes, the organized patrol routes dissolved into chaos. Sirens
blared, units scrambled, but no one could pin him down.
Every soldier saw him—but
none could find him.
Deep in one of the old
maintenance tunnels, Senjuro noticed the comm signal strength spike on his
interface. He turned to Kyrin, his expression sharp.
"Kyrin, hack into their
network. It'll be a huge advantage."
Without a word, Kyrin
pulled out his compact laptop and began working. His fingers flew across the
keyboard, the screen flashing rapid streams of code. Within seconds, the city's
entire local network was under his control. He smirked as icons representing
surveillance drones, communication lines, and Vanguard units lit up on his
screen.
Senjuro caught the glint
in Kyrin's eye and allowed a small smile. "Rin's gonna have some competition."
At the mention of the
name, a sudden thought struck Kyrin. His fingers paused on the keyboard. He
turned toward Senjuro, concern flickering in his voice.
"Speaking of Rin... where
is he?"
Senjuro froze for a split
second, his mind snapping back to the past. Memories rushed in—the Kurogiri
Mansion, the battles, the bloodshed—and then... nothing.
"You're right," Senjuro
muttered grimly. "The last time we saw him was just before the incident at the
mansion. And Blaze too..."
Kyrin's expression
tightened. "We completely forgot about them. It's our negligence. But... right
now, we have to focus on our escape."
Senjuro's hands tightened
around the wheel, but he nodded firmly. "They're strong. I have faith they'll
find a way back."
Under his breath, almost
too quietly for anyone to hear, Senjuro whispered, "Don't fail me, Rin."
Suddenly, a loud,
static-laced message blared over the Vanguards' comms—clearly overheard by
Kyrin's tapped system:
"—All Vanguard forces,
shift to Multi-Split Formation immediately. Repeat, shift to Multi-Split
Formation."
Senjuro's face lit up with
a flash of triumph. He let out a small, victorious shout. "Yes!"
Without wasting another
second, he floored the accelerator. The jeep roared to life again, tires
screeching as he sped toward the nearest exit point from the tunnel network.
Their plan had worked: the forces above were in complete disarray, split into
scattered search parties with no coordination left.
Now, it was time to break
free.
As they emerged from the

tunnel, Senjuro immediately activated a projection on his watch, displaying a
full map of the Vanguards' positions across the district. His sharp eyes
scanned the formation carefully, piecing together their arrangement like a
puzzle.
A grim realization struck
him.
"It's a trap," Senjuro
said quietly, his voice cutting through the tense air. "They figured out our
plan. Look—perfect formations around every sector. They're boxing us in."
Kyrin and Aureva leaned
in, their faces tense.
"But" Senjuro continued,
his tone shifting slightly, "there are still moles—small, minute gaps between
sectors. They're microscopic, but enough. We have one chance. We cross the
district border during that gap... and we're free. If we miss it, it's over."
Both of them nodded,
instantly understanding the urgency.
As Senjuro folded the map,
he spotted headlights approaching fast. Instinctively, he ducked behind cover.
At that moment, a faint pulse triggered in his visor, and a voice echoed in his
mind—clear and commanding.
"Use the information
displayed on the visor."
Senjuro's eyes widened. He
recognized the voice immediately.
"Valan," Senjuro spoke
silently in his mind, "the last time you spoke to me was... my first day."
Valan's voice replied
calmly. "I wasn't able to synchronize with your Core back then. But
now, I have full access. I'll guide you from here."
A rush of warmth filled
Senjuro's chest. He smiled faintly. "Thanks."
Instantly, updated
tactical data flooded his visor's interface. It highlighted paths, patrol blind
spots, and timing predictions—all in real-time. Trusting Valan's guidance,
Senjuro slipped past the first patrol, timing every movement precisely, his
body flowing like water through the narrow openings between the Vanguards.
It was working. They were
close.
The border lay just
ahead—only one last Vanguard patrol between them and freedom.
Senjuro pushed the jeep
forward with everything he had. They tore through the empty streets, heading
straight for the checkpoint. The escape was within reach.
Then—disaster.
Without warning, an
explosion rocked the jeep. The world became a blur of fire, smoke, and twisting
metal. Senjuro, Kyrin, and Aureva were launched into the air, crashing hard
onto the cracked pavement.
Dazed and barely
conscious, Senjuro forced his heavy eyes open. Through the haze, he saw a
figure—tall, cloaked—dragging Aureva's limp form toward a black car. The
vehicle's engine roared, and in seconds, it vanished into the smoky distance.
Senjuro stumbled to his
feet, rage and fear surging inside him. But it was too late—the car had
disappeared beyond the horizon.
Turning back, he saw Kyrin
lying motionless nearby.
Gritting his teeth,
Senjuro hoisted Kyrin onto his shoulder, his muscles screaming in protest. From
every direction, the sound of Vanguards closing in grew louder.
"Senjuro," Valan's voice came urgently, "give me
your consciousness."
Without hesitation,
Senjuro closed his eyes. He trusted Valan completely.
In an instant, something
shifted inside him. When he opened his eyes again, it was still Senjuro's
body—but Valan was in control.
Moving with fluid
precision, Valan carried Kyrin behind a large fragment of concrete, shielding
them from view. He tapped Senjuro's wrist device and dialed a secure code.
Above them, the sky split
with a thundering sound.
A sleek, high-tech chopper
descended from the clouds, its turbines sending debris swirling across the
ruined streets. As it hovered, a figure dropped from the chopper—landing
heavily, the impact cracking the pavement beneath his boots.
The man was massive,
towering over any ordinary soldier. His flux aura burned brightly, a dazzling
mixture of radiant red, pure gold, and shimmering ocean blue. It wasn't just
power—it was a living storm.
In one hand, he wielded a
thick metal bar, humming with resonating flux energy.
As the Vanguards saw him,
a wave of fear rippled through their ranks. Their earlier discipline crumbled
instantly. Soldiers abandoned their posts, running in terror, sealing off the
border gates behind them.
The man stood there, calm
and unshaken.
His voice, deep and cold,
echoed through the empty streets:
"You don't need my
introduction. Just remember—"
"The flame has been reignited."
Without another word, he
turned and walked into the waiting chopper. Valan, carrying Kyrin, followed him
inside.
As the hatch sealed and
the aircraft ascended, Valan turned toward the towering man.
"You still... love him,
don't you?" Valan asked quietly.
The man's gaze darkened
slightly, but his voice remained steady.
"Yes. I owe him
everything." He looked out at the crumbling cityscape below. "Seraph and Vorenth's
reign end soon. Their time is over."
Above the smoke and ruins
of Lumina Spire, the chopper disappeared into the clouds, carrying the hope of
vengeance—and the first sparks of a rising rebellion.
