“Boom!” The violent explosion greatly alarmed the knights who had just stood up, and the shockwave of the explosion also knocked them all over. However, as the man was about to ignite the detonator again, the sniper in the distance made a move.
“Crack!” A steel nail pierced the chest of the crazy man, pinning him directly back into the room. The poor neighbor didn’t know there was a sniper in the distance and was killed on the spot.
But the detonator he threw had already caused a large commotion. Then, some people opened their windows to see what was happening, and some opened their doors to flee, throwing the neighborhood into chaos.
The two sides confronting each other at our door were immediately agitated. The black-robed person floating in the air raised the bell in his hand. As he gently shook it, a green light lit up, revealing a magic circle in front of him.
“Open fire!” The knights immediately raised their guns and fired. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam propelled the steel nails forward. In such a narrow corridor, the black-robed person had no way to dodge.
But the steel nails hit him, causing the black-robed person’s body to twitch incessantly. He did not fall, but instead, a green magic lightning ball shot out from the magic circle. I could feel the evil aura contained within it.
The Wicked Lightning Strike ball flew directly towards the knights. A low-ranking officer of the captain level shouted, “Raise your shields!”
The knights immediately set up three shields in the corridor, forming a shield formation. The Wicked Lightning Strike ball hit the shields, and sparks flew everywhere. The knights behind were unharmed.
“Continue firing!” the captain shouted. They mounted their large-caliber steam pistols on the shields and continued to fire at the black-robed person.
These shields were specially designed with a gap for observation and aiming during firing, and a structure suitable for mounting guns. From the start, the defense of this shield was considered for such formation firing, and it also had magic resistance.
The knights’ uniform movements and exquisite standard equipment all showed that they were a well-trained regular army.
An army came to trouble me. I could only think of the group of rogue soldiers I had eliminated while clearing the road for robbery when I entered the city this morning. Their Combat Power was not on the same level as these fully armed knights before me.
I didn’t expect that I would cause trouble in the morning and someone would come to settle the score in the middle of the night. And Lair should have taken responsibility for this matter, so why are they looking for us?
Most importantly, even Lair and the others don’t know where I live, but these soldiers do. How did they find out?
The fierce battle at the door continued. The black-robed person kept shaking the bell, and waves of green Wicked Lightning bolts shot towards the knights. These were faster than the lightning ball just now, but they were all blocked by the shield wall.
At the same time, he was also being heavily fired upon, his body twitching constantly in mid-air, and green fluid splashing out from his body. Steel nails pierced through him, riddling the wall at the end of the corridor with holes.
Wait? Green blood? What’s going on? Why isn’t his blood red? And even after being bombarded by steel nails for so long, he is still not dead and is still floating in mid-air. Is this really a person?
At this moment, a steel nail shot at his head, blowing his head off. The mask was also blown off, revealing his true face.
It was indeed a person, a bald man. His head was pierced by the bullets, and green liquid sprayed out, but he still did not fall.
At this time, his form could no longer be maintained. Countless bumps were surging beneath his skin, as if countless insects were trying to break out.
But when these things entered his head and gushed out from the black-robed person’s mouth, they were not insects, but a flower, a bright and beautiful big red flower.
“What kind of monster is this!?” The knights were greatly alarmed, and then green vines began to sprout from the black-robed person’s skin, rapidly filling the corridor.
“Damn it! Switch to melee!” Seeing that firearms were useless, the knights immediately drew their long swords from their waists, each capable of cutting a vine. They advanced towards the black-robed man’s main body.
At the same time, a battle was breaking out outside. I don’t know what kind of hidden scum lived on our floor. The first reaction of seeing the soldiers surround them was to return fire, and scattered gunshots rang out everywhere.
Even people on the next building were shooting at the soldiers below from the windows, perhaps too excited and thinking the soldiers were coming to arrest them.
These guns were mostly ineffective against the soldiers’ armor, but these people had more than just guns. From time to time, a magic scroll was thrown out, or a few pieces of rotten flesh, followed by Black Magic or Evil God’s technique.
Suddenly, there were casualties among the soldiers below, and such a gunfight had already begun to create chaos in the surroundings.
But the sniper was still as accurate as ever. As soon as someone poked their head out, she would shoot them dead without mercy.
“Parul, we need to go. They’ll be at the door soon,” Jayad said, as the black-robed person’s vines could not stop the knights’ advance.
“Yes, we need to find a way to kill that sniper, otherwise, escape is impossible,” I said. And it must be done amidst the chaos, otherwise, once the situation stabilizes and the sniper’s attention is focused, it will be almost impossible for me to counter-kill her.
“Older Brother Jayad, the second floor, the room to our left below, let’s go there. Be careful not to get too close to the window, or you’ll be seen by the sniper,” I said. There was only an old man in that room. He was shot dead by the sniper earlier while returning fire, and his corpse was still hanging by the window.
His room was quite suitable. It was pitch black and hard to see, and there was only one person. Now that he’s dead, it won’t cause any commotion.
“Okay, let’s go. Miss Lorna, go to the next room to protect Sherris. Remember, don’t act rashly unless absolutely necessary. Preserving yourself is most important,” Jayad instructed, then raised the Hand of Glory and lit the candle. The wall had already been illuminated through.
The situation was urgent, and there was no time to discuss. Older Brother Jayad grabbed my hand and we climbed down. Luckily, Lorna also understood the situation and obediently went into the wall to find Sherris.
The room on the side of the second floor had no lights at all, it was completely dark. As soon as I entered, I saw a pile of bottles and jars containing various powders and liquids, with an unpleasant, stimulating smell.
Good heavens, the owner of this place was actually a drug lord. No wonder he wanted to put up a desperate fight as soon as he was surrounded. Now he’s dead by the window. Jayad and I quietly lurked.
Based on the sniper’s indiscriminate firing at our room just now, she can’t see through walls. So, as long as we don’t expose ourselves directly, she shouldn’t know we’ve entered the second-floor room.
However, her concentration is very strong, and her shooting is very fast. I must wait for an opportunity, an opportunity when she is fully focused.
