Modern World Warlock-Chapter 116: June’s Close Call

While Dante gave Nihilor a beating in the courtyard of the abandoned factory, June used the healthstone that was given to her and placed it on Alice’s hand, helping her superior squeeze it.

As the green mist came out of the stone, the rookie detective was startled for a second but calmed down when she noticed the wounds slowly healing.

Once Alice’s injuries were closed, June carried the rest of the unconscious women, placed them beside her superior, and used the stone to heal them, too.

"Nghh… Ju-ne?" Detective Alice muttered, her voice raspy and weak.

"I’m here, detective. It’s going to be alright…" June replied, hearing the loud battle sounds coming from Dante’s location.

["June, the Kappa Team will arrive at the factory soon to help move out the victims,"] Camille said on the detective’s earpiece.

"Understood!" June replied, standing up and guarding the double doors to the room.

The detective knew that there were still two enemies inside the factory, one of which was as strong and quick as the previous mutant, so she pulled out the submachine gun that was strapped around her and aimed at the door from the side of the room.

The echoes from Dante and Nihilor’s encounter got slightly lower, allowing June to hear footsteps rapidly coming towards her that halted abruptly right outside the room.

June couldn’t see the person, but she was sure it was an enemy since she hadn’t heard Camille or Dante talking on her earpiece to say otherwise.

Taking a few silent steps towards the door, the detective leaned a bit to peek outside, only to be met by a swift barrage of bullets coming from an assault rifle, prompting her to duck and take cover behind the thick walls quickly.

"You idiot. That room is filled with future carriers!" an unknown voice shouted from outside, reprimanding the shooter.

’What is that…?’ June pondered, listening to the voice, which sounded too uncanny to be natural.

"I’ll do it…" the voice continued.

June clenched her submachine gun tightly and gulped a bit nervously, expecting the unknown man to at least take a few seconds to enter. Nevertheless, he appeared inside the room almost instantaneously, making the detective open fire.

*Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta* "Ugh!" June scoffed in pain while stopping her bullet barrage, feeling the fist of the assailant hitting her in the stomach and flinging her against the wall.

As her back crashed with the cement, June spat out a few drops of blood and tried to stay standing, reaching out for her submachine gun and noticing that it had been thrown to the other side.

"June…" Alice muttered, barely conscious to witness the scene.

The thug took a few defiant steps toward the detective, who had her back against the wall with no room to escape.

The man had the same black veins as the previous assailant, making the detective understand that he was a mutant under the effects of demon blood.

After the forensic lab at the police department wasn’t able to determine what caused the change in the bodies of the drug users when studying Turner’s corpse, the detectives could at least discover that their heads were their weak spots.

Quickly drawing her silenced pistol, June got her weapon knocked off her hands again as the man appeared right before her, slapping it away, gripping her neck, and raising her in the air with her back scraping the wall.

"This city will not fall…" the man muttered as he asphyxiated June.

However, the detective didn’t have time to make sense of his words, as the firm grasp around her neck was mere seconds away from snapping it.

Using one arm to reach for her belt, she opened the buckle and pulled out a small dagger, catching the assailant’s attention.

Nevertheless, by the time the man saw the weapon, June had already used it to stab him under his chin, making the blade come out from inside his mouth.

"Aarrghh!" he shouted in pain, dropping the woman while a gush of blood came out of his mouth, along with pieces of his shredded tongue.

June caught her breath once again as the thug angrily pulled out the dagger from his chin, rushing at the detective and kicking her in the ribs.

She managed to protect her side with her arm, but the force was too strong for her to sustain, breaking her arm and flinging her against a wall with a window that she shattered with the back of her head.

As the detective sat on the ground and took a deep breath, she endured the pain and gazed back at the man, who rushed at her again and used the small dagger to stab her broken shoulder.

"Raaagh!" He shouted maniacally, pulling out the dagger from June’s shoulder and going for a second stab.

At that moment, June recoiled her leg and reached for her shin, pulling out a small pistol with a wide barrel and inserting it under the man’s jaw.

*BANG!* A loud sound echoed in the room as the brains of the assailant were splattered behind him, making his limp body flop on top of the detective.

*Huff, puff* June took a few deep breaths before pushing the man’s body off of her, weakly standing up and walking back towards Alice.

"June… Are you alright?" Alice asked with a breaking voice.

"I’ll be okay…" the rookie replied.

"June… June…!!" Alice said, her voice getting a little more desperate.

"I’m here," June tiredly muttered, getting shocked when she felt her superior reaching for her gun and shooting over her shoulder.

When the rookie heard a ’thud’ behind her, she turned around to see the last hooded cultist dead on the ground with half of his face blown off by Alice’s shot.

["June, the Kappa Team is almost there!"] Camille said into the detective’s earpiece, prompting her to smile with a bit of relief.

’Somehow… I feel like I can leave the rest to ’him,’ June thought, sitting next to Alice to rest her wounds, unable to heal as the healthstone had turned to dust after curing all the other victims.
