Null stared at the empty syringes scattered across the floor.
Nothing happened.
"...See?" he said.
Lana crossed her arms.
"I still have a bad feeling about this."
Elsewhere in the underground complex...
Leo walked alone through the dim corridors.
His footsteps echoed against the stone walls.
"I told Lana I'd keep him busy..."
He scratched his head.
"...but how exactly am I supposed to do that?"
The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous his plan sounded.
"I don't even have a plan."
His expression darkened.
"And if he goes after Null and Lana before I find him..."
A voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"Are you talking about me?"
Leo froze.
Standing at the other end of the corridor was the assassin.
The assassin calmly raised his gun.
"I don't understand why you're still resisting."
His finger rested on the trigger.
"There is no possible way for you to defeat me."
The assassin smiled.
"Surrender."
"Maybe I'll let your friends live."
Leo didn't answer.
Instead, he focused.
Levitat.
Nothing happened.
His eyes narrowed.
Again.
Nothing.
Why isn't it working?
Range?
The assassin tilted his head.
"Not listening?"
Leo clicked his tongue.
"This is unfair."
The assassin blinked.
"What?"
"You always use guns."
The assassin stared at him for several seconds.
"Are you an idiot?"
"We aren't playing a game."
Then he sighed.
"But if that's your final wish..."
The assassin reached into his coat.
A second gun flew through the air.
Leo caught it.
The assassin folded his arms.
"Go on."
"Let's see what you're going to do with it."
Leo looked at the gun.
Then lowered it.
"I'm not going to use it."
The assassin's eyebrow twitched.
"Then why complain?"
Before Leo could answer—
A figure suddenly appeared behind the assassin.
A syringe pierced his neck.
The assassin reacted instantly.
His elbow smashed into the attacker's face.
He spun around.
Bang!
A bullet pierced the attacker's skull.
The body collapsed.
It was Leo.
The assassin immediately turned back.
"What did you do?"
Leo stood exactly where he had been before.
Completely unharmed.
"Nothing special."
Leo grinned.
"I copied your ability."
The assassin's expression changed.
"And while you were distracted..."
Leo pointed at the syringe.
"I injected air."
For a moment, the assassin looked confused.
Then realization struck.
An air embolism.
A bubble entering the bloodstream.
If it reached a critical artery—
The assassin stumbled.
Blood stopped reaching part of his brain.
His vision blurred.
His body collapsed.
Leo stared.
"...Wow."
"That was easier than expected."
Then a bullet pierced his head.
Bang.
Leo's body froze.
Slowly turning into dust.
The assassin stood behind him.
Alive.
Completely unharmed.
"If you think you can outsmart me..."
The assassin lowered his smoking gun.
"...then you're a fool."
Leo's dust clone vanished completely.
The assassin smiled.
"After I capture you, I should test that air trick on you."
Leo sighed.
"Yeah."
"I definitely underestimated you."
The assassin raised his weapon.
"Finally understanding your situation?"
"No."
Leo tries to shoot from that gun but nothing happen
Assassin say do you really think i give a loaded gun
Leo threw that gun and suddenly charged forward.
The assassin immediately struck him with the gun.
Crack.
A shot followed.
Then another.
Then another.
Leo crashed into the floor.
The assassin fired several more rounds.
"Now you're just annoying me."
Another shot.
"You keep doing the same thing."
Another shot.
"Attack."
Another shot.
"Run away."
Another shot.
"Repeat."
A figure suddenly appeared behind him.
Leo clone.
The assassin instantly spun around.
Exactly as expected.
The real Leo stood up behind him.
With That wounded body he grab his and pulling backward
The assassin fired immediately.
Bang!
The clone absorbed the shot.
At the same time, the clone grabbed the unloaded gun the leo had thrown away earlier.
Then shoved the barrel directly into the assassin's mouth.
The assassin's eyes widened.
The clone forced it deeper.
But leo spun with that body cause he knew he isnt real one
The real assassin fired.
Bang.
The both clones vanished into dust.
The assassin stepped backward.
Annoyed.
"I promised myself I'd study every trick you use."
Leo smiled.
"Unfortunately, that won't happen."
The assassin laughed.
"What an ambitious dream."
He reached into his coat.
"After killing you..."
His smile widened.
"I'm going to hunt down the entire Council."
Leo frowned.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Shut up."
The assassin suddenly pulled out a glass sphere.
Inside it floated a strange green liquid.
Leo's expression changed immediately.
Danger.
Real danger.
The assassin held up the sphere.
"This releases a gas."
"A gas that melts living tissue."
Leo's heart skipped a beat.
There was no counter to that.
No trick.
No plan.
No solution.
He turned and ran.
Bang!
A clone of the assassin appeared in front of him.
A bullet pierced Leo's head.
His body collapsed.
The assassin calmly tossed the sphere.
Crash.
Green gas spread through the corridor.
Leo's body began melting.
The assassin watched silently.
"I should have used this earlier."
Then—
A voice spoke behind him.
"I'm still conscious."
The assassin spun around.
Leo stood there.
Alive.
His hand touched the assassin's chest.
The assassin's eyes widened.
Levitat.
Suddenly—
Everything changed.
The assassin felt himself rising.
Not physically.
His consciousness.
His mind.
His very existence.
Being separated from his body.
Then remember .
The injections.
The syringes Null had used.
At that exact moment—
Far away—
Null's Axiom expanded.
Not two meters.
Not ten.
Not a hundred.
For less than a second—
It covered almost the entire human part of the world.
The assassin's consciousness was outside his body.
And outside his body's protection.
Axiom touched it.
Anything that violated reality disappeared.
The assassin's consciousness vanished.
Completely.
No scream.
No final words.
Nothing.
The assassin collapses on the floor and this time he isn't coming back.
Silence filled the corridor.
Leo stared at the empty body.
"...What luck."
He slowly sat down.
"So that's what those injections did.".
he had transferred his consciousness in to one of his clone body
"I don't know how..."
Leo laughed weakly.
"...but transferring my consciousness into a clone actually worked."
And on the other hand null ended up unconscious again because he inject four injection of increasing magic energy axiom neglects magic energy but actually axiom is also a magic ability who doesn't need any magic energy but body energy and that why they work so sudden and disappear instantly and take every null all energy
