"It's a pity that it only hit the shoulder. If I had used my original pistol from the beginning, the gun would have hit the vital point!"
Angel held up her original 0.45-inch Revolver and walked slowly towards the hiding place of the sneak attacker ahead.
In her haste, she only hit the opponent's shoulder. When she wanted to shoot again, the attacker simply gave up and continued to attack. His body rolled back and disappeared from the rooftop.
In order to avoid further trouble, Angel immediately chased him from the rooftop, jumped over the gap between adjacent houses, and soon arrived at the location where the attacker had set up an ambush.
Obviously, the shoulder injury did not affect the opponent's running speed. There was only a small pool of wet blood left on the rooftop, and the person had disappeared.
This did not surprise Angel. She turned back and looked at the battlefield below. Tuxedo Clown's movement skills were flexible and Beyonder Ability was diverse. It was obviously not Beyonder like Low Sequence. But he was already stretched thin under the siege of many people. From time to time, he would use his ability to turn into flames and then reappear from other places, but he would be quickly approached by Lorotta and get into a fight.
Dunn pressed his eyebrows again, as if he was about to use his "Nightmare" ability again. Klein and Borgia fired from time to time to cover Lorotta, leaving Tuxedo Clown with no chance to release invisible bullets.
In the distance, Leonard is already running towards the large army with a gun. When he joins the battle, the situation on the field should be one-sided.
At this moment, Spirituality, who had rescued Angel several times, issued a warning of danger, and the shadow cast by the sun on his feet changed rapidly.
There's someone behind you!
She had no time to turn around, so she could only stride forward. At the same time, her right hand holding the gun twisted back and fired aimlessly.
This move saved her own life.
The attacker behind him obviously didn't want to trade his life for his life. Seeing the muzzle of the gun coming, he had no choice but to turn away and dodge, and the malicious blow missed.
After running two steps, Angel turned around.
Her attacker was a man with a hood and a black cloak. His thin body was hidden under a black tights. The dagger he held reflected the afternoon sun, which was quite dazzling.
It was the "assassin" Angel met when Labor Mutual Aid Society stole the ring last week.
I originally thought that he was on a wanted list and had left Tingen City, but I didn't expect to meet this guy again at Docklands.
"Is it you?"
"It's you!"
Angel was not the only one who was surprised, even the attacker also exclaimed.
"Are you the official Beyonder?" the hooded assassin murmured, "No wonder Jike has been missing for so long. It turned out that you captured him."
He responded with a bullet from Angel without hesitation.
This time facing the gun, the assassin seemed to be prepared. He no longer blindly dodge like last time, but used his body skills to avoid the direction of the gun while trying to get close to Angel.
This allowed Angel to regain the feeling he had against Madam Sharon, but the hooded assassin was far behind Madam Sharon.
After avoiding the first wave of sneak attacks, she calmly fired a single shot, forcing the opponent to keep jumping and rolling to dodge bullets, draining her energy. At the same time, she pulled out the dagger from her waist with her left hand, ready for close combat at any time.
The remaining four bullets in the gun quickly ran out, and when they heard the crisp sound of the hammer hitting the cartridge case, the hooded assassin's eyes lit up, he kicked his feet fiercely, and flew toward Angel like an arrow from a string.
Throwing away the revolver that was too late to reload, Angel held the dagger in both hands instead of retreating. He stepped forward to face the hooded assassin and activated the assassin's ability "Mighty Blow".
In the last battle, she had discovered that the assassin in front of her was also Sequence 9. Not only was his combat experience far inferior to hers, but his physical fitness was even inferior.
This is a very counter-intuitive thing. According to common sense, men are stronger than women, even if they are also strengthened by Potion. Both of them are Sequence 9's "assassins", but Angel is able to surpass the other in strength. The only possibility she can think of is that her body has not only been strengthened by the "assassin" Potion.
After all, what Cole Granger drank before his death was Potion from Sequence 7 "Witch", and before that, his body had been strengthened by Sequence 8's "Instigator" Potion.
Although Instigator only gave him abilities such as "Instigation" and "Persuasion", the strengthening of his body was real. Now Angel Granger most likely expelled the characteristics and still retained the original body enhancement when she turned back into an "assassin". Otherwise, there is no way to explain that she is still a female body, not the male before being transformed by "Witch" Potion.
With a "bang", the two daggers collided together, and the power of "Mighty Blow" activated at the same time exploded, causing sparks that were still clearly visible in the sunlight to splash out from the contact point of the daggers.
The strength advantage allowed Angel to easily block the incoming dagger. With a little more force, she blocked the hooded assassin's dagger aside, raised her right foot, and kicked the assassin's waist with a sweeping sweep.
The soft touch came, and the assassin was hit on the waist that lacked the protection of muscles and bones. He grunted and flew sideways like a sandbag, and the dagger fell to the side.
After flying several meters away, his body did not fall in a parabola. Instead, it seemed as if he suddenly lost weight and continued flying about one meter above the ground, flying into the distance.
This is the assassin's "Feather Fall"!
As the distance widened, Angel did not catch up, but took out another pistol from the holster under her arm. This was the revolver with a smaller caliber that she had just received from Old Neil in the morning. She tried using it once before taking it back because she was not used to it. At this time, she had no time to reload the pistol that was thrown aside, so she could only use this one first.
The hooded assassin, who had already flown a lot of distance with the help of "Feather Fall" and the force of being kicked, saw Angel take out another pistol, released his power with a strange cry and fell to the ground, which also allowed him to dodge the first bullet fired.
"Bang, bang!"
Continuous bullets chased the hooded assassin who was running around on his hands and feet. As he rolled close to the exhaust duct protruding from the ceiling, Angel finally aimed at him who was unable to change direction and pulled the trigger.
"Click", the sound of the trigger emptying came. Angel was stunned. Didn't this revolver have six bullets?
By the time she realized that she had already fired a shot to save Dunn, the assassin had already hidden his body behind the brick exhaust duct and lost track of him.
This guy can really escape...
Angel wordlessly put the dagger in his left hand back into the holster on his waist, took out the prepared quick loader from the pocket of his windbreaker, shook off the bullet chamber of the revolver, ejected the cartridge case, and loaded six new bullets with the loader.
She opened the hammer to make the pistol ready for firing. She raised the gun and walked slowly towards the exhaust pipe.
Although the "Assassin" has the ability to hide himself in the shadows, he cannot use it under the afternoon sun. Other skills are not helpful in hiding. The opponent must still be hiding behind the exhaust pipe, as long as...
At this moment, Angel heard a low, depressed Hermes.
"Frost!"
Hearing the approaching footsteps, the "assassin" Randy, who had his back against the exhaust duct and had nowhere to hide, gritted his teeth and took out the Charm that Mitis had given him before taking action.
If I had known earlier, I would have listened to that guy Tris and left Tingen City. How could I have been so deceived by Mitis that I would have participated in these nonsense between Secret Order and the official Beyonder!
Holding the thin piece of silver, which was about the size of a folded playing card and engraved with complex patterns, Randy poured the few Spirituality into it, making it cold, and then recited the incantation to activate Charm.
"Frost!"
Observing that the silver piece turned black, the power of Frost sealed inside overflowed. He threw Charm in the direction of the official "assassin" who was chasing him, and at the same time took out a spare dagger from his waist.
What is going on with this woman?
He is stronger than him and has more combat experience than him. He suppresses his fellow Sequence 9 at every turn. He was at a disadvantage in two fights, and this time he was even more forced into a desperate situation.
But when this "Frost Amulet" takes effect, it's not like he has no chance.
"Bang!"
The sound of gunfire sounded as if it was right next to my ears.
Along with the sound came a surge of cold air, and Charm was detonated in advance!
The severe cold quickly spread throughout the rooftop, and Charm, who was triggered in advance, was closer to Randy. The cold that eroded his body made his limbs feel stiff, and even his joints seemed to be covered with glue, making it difficult to move.
But the other party must be the same, this is his only chance to fight back!
Randy took out a few pennies and threw them out just like Charm, while still muttering vaguely Hermes. This was his common method of disturbing the enemy. As expected, he deceived the enemy. Two "bang bangs" and the crisp sound of a bullet hitting a coin were heard.
A good shot, but pointless and just a waste of two ammo.
From the previous battle, Randy already knew that the opponent's pistol was a rare 5-round loaded revolver. As long as she consumed two more rounds of ammunition, her chance would come.
Gritting his teeth, he sprang out from the other side of the exhaust duct, rolled on the spot, and dodged the expected shot.
"Frost" Charm caused the entire rooftop to be filled with condensed mist. You could vaguely see the beautiful "assassin" holding a pistol on guard. Randy rushed towards her in one stride. After taking two steps, he suddenly changed direction.
"Bang!"
The opponent's last bullet also missed.
Seeing the panicked female assassin, who was about to retreat and distance herself, Randy felt happy, holding daggers in both hands, and activated his most important ability, "Life-Stealing Attack".
The dagger pierced the air and rushed towards the opponent with Randy's body.
Got it!
The joy of a successful assassination had just spread throughout Randy's body, and then there was a warning from Spirituality that was even colder than the power of Frost that spread all around.
What's going on? Why didn't she panic at all?
As if in slow motion, Randy saw the fear in the woman's eyes fade away instantly, replaced by indifference.
The opponent no longer retreated, but stretched out his left arm, blocking his hands holding the dagger with astonishing force. The revolver that should have been empty long ago moved forward and withstood the chin of Randy, who was lunging forward.
The sound of the hammer hitting the primer and the burning sensation in his jaw were the last signals his brain received in this world.
