Trainer Jeremy had been laying the groundwork from the very beginning. After the sudden attack, he chose to kill the sniper—a choice born of absolute confidence in victory.
That confidence came from his special burst ability. Though he would need time to recover afterward, at that moment it was deadly to David.
Two sniper rounds struck the White Light Shield. It rocked violently but did not dissipate.
Trainer Jeremy seemed to have an ability similar to Shield Mastery. Although the White Light Shield had taken a heavy blow, it did not slow him down. When the two rounds hit, he had deftly redirected most of their impact.
At four hundred meters, David fired four more sniper rounds. The White Light Shield shook repeatedly.
At three hundred meters, David fired another three rounds. After the final one struck, the White Light Shield broke apart into white points of light. The White Light Armor covering Trainer Jeremy dissipated along with it.
Trainer Jeremy charged within two hundred meters. The replica Eye of Death was now of little use. Although the T3 Sniper Auxiliary Device could adjust automatically, at such close range, aiming became even more difficult.
David sprang up from the ground and reached behind his shoulders with both hands. Two Level 2 Longswords appeared in his grasp.
He was no pure sniper, after all. He lacked the nerve to keep shooting while an enemy charged right up to him.
But in close quarters, he was far stronger than a pure sniper. He had two Level 2 Longswords and Long Sword Mastery at 80% proficiency.
"Die!" David stood still, letting the recoil in his body subside and regulating his breathing. Then he roared and charged to meet his opponent.
The two men clashed fifty meters from the sniping position.
