43 Chapter 43: Night attack

To set the scene, you might be wondering why Owen finds himself standing in a train car surrounded by mutilated bodies. To understand, we need to rewind three hours ago when Owen was first escorted to his sleeping area, which happened to be the bottom bed of a triple bunk.

"Biba-sama told me to give you a good bed so sleep well," a soldier, following Biba's orders, informed Owen before departing. Left alone in the train car, Owen found himself among twelve other individuals, each occupying their own bunks.

"Might as well go to 'sleep'," Owen contemplated as he settled onto the bottom bunk. He pulled the thin blanket that was already there over his face, feigning slumber for the next hour and a half. Despite the discomfort of the unbelievably uncomfortable bed, Owen gradually grew accustomed to it, tuning out its annoyances as he caught snippets of low voices emanating from around the train.

"He sleeps, when should we move?" Owen heard someone two bunks down remark, their voice tinged with malice. Despite the surrounding voices plotting against him, Owen maintained his pretense of sleep. Gradually, he pieced together their nefarious plans, which boiled down to subjecting him to the prison treatment and attempting to harm him while he slumbered.

However, before they could enact their scheme, Owen sprang into action. Swiftly, he retrieved his spear and began to strike those closest to him. Their surprise left them unable to react before Owen's assault. Even when four of them armed themselves with guns, they found Owen had vanished from his previous position. In an instant, he appeared amidst the group, shotgun in hand.

Without hesitation, Owen unleashed a barrage of gunfire, obliterating the group before they could mount a defense. Their brains splattered across the floor, their plans thwarted by Owen's swift and decisive action.

And so, we find ourselves at the present moment. Owen heard the unmistakable sound of numerous footsteps approaching, a predictable consequence of his recent actions. Without delay, Owen bolted out the other side of the car, entering an empty carriage filled with what appeared to be supplies. Ignoring the contents, Owen swiftly made the decision to disembark from the train.

It could have been a dire situation if Owen hadn't possessed the ability to teleport himself off the train. With a sense of calm, Owen watched the train gradually recede into the darkness of the night, its presence fading into the distance.

"Well, that was fun," Owen thought simply, as he observed the vanishing train. With a casual motion, he summoned Ronin, ready to resume their journey, unfazed by the events that had just transpired.

Biba's rage reverberated through the room as he bellowed, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE ESCAPED?" His fist collided with a nearby workstation, sending maps sprawling to the ground in disarray. Anger shrouded his face, casting ominous shadows as his second-in-command stood before him, visibly uneasy under his leader's intense gaze.

"I'm sorry, sir," the second-in-command stammered, his voice tinged with apprehension. "He killed all the men I assigned to the same car as him. I didn't anticipate him being able to overcome so many of our elite soldiers." The second and command said as all the hair on his body stood on end as he looked at his commander who seemed unusually mad at the escape of some random.

"Sir, there's a station up ahead," a voice broke through Owen's momentary respite. As Owen stirred from his daze, a staion came into view, appearing on the horizon. It seemed he had arrived just in time, coinciding with the recent arrival of the train that Biba had taken. The station doors began to open, allowing Biba and his group of hunters to disembark. However, Owen remained unfazed by their arrival, deciding to bide his time until nightfall before attempting to infiltrate the station.
