Inside the stairwell between the fourth and fifth floors of St. Limen Fortress, Su Xiao slid Dragon Slash's scabbard into his belt, the long blade sheathed, and walked up toward the stairs with D·Assassin held level in his hands.
The little assistant poked her head around nervously as she followed behind Su Xiao. With a gun in hand she was bold and jumpy; the moment she lost it, she chickened out instantly.
As Su Xiao stepped onto the stairs, the scorched, burnt smell coming from the fifth floor grew more and more obvious.
Right now the fifth floor was pitch black and charred, several walls blown down, with a few charred corpses lying on the floor.
Su Xiao put an extra bullet into each of the charred corpses. No matter how expensive D·Assassin's bullets were, this was not the time to save ammo. If one of those charred corpses suddenly jumped up, even if he could take it down, he'd waste a few precious seconds.
