The Phantom Shooter who was conducting the reconnaissance was about to retreat after spotting Cross's Silver Eye, but he immediately changed his mind. He didn't think that such a reconnaissance was in place, and if it was all there was, then his report after returning would be no different from the three humans.

With such an idea, he made a bold decision. This time he had to find out the number of enemies before he could go back and report.

Although he didn't know the horror of Silver-Eyed Cross, he believed in Sephiroth, so he didn't dare to face Cross, so he chose to take a detour. He decided to walk around the city, so that he could complete the reconnaissance mission, and even find out the news of Blackwater.

The Phantom Shooter immediately implemented the plan.

However, Nia, who had a keen perception, still noticed the anomalies around her, and she whispered to Cross beside her, "Lord Cross, there seems to be movement, it may be a phantom shooter." ”

Cross was a little surprised, he was surprised as to why this phantom shooter would act alone.

The Phantom Shooter acting alone will greatly reduce his stealth characteristics, and the real role of the Phantom Archer is to use the Dark Arrow while the two armies are fighting, and Cross regrets the stupidity of the enemy commander.

Could it be that the Phantom Shooter is here to investigate?

Cross felt that there should be no other possibility than reconnaissance, and if it was really just that, then he could seize the opportunity to kill this phantasmagor.

So, in order not to show his flaws, he pretended to be casual and whispered to Nia, "Where is he?"

"Do you see the footprints in our left front position?"

Sure enough, there were some footprints in that place that had just formed.

The soil near the Stronghold was a little damp, and it had been excavated last night for the construction of the Stronghold, so it was easy to leave footprints on such ground, but the footprints left by the Phantom Shooter were not so easy to observe, and Cross would not have been able to spot them if it weren't for Nia's reminder.

"How did you find him? It can't be because of those footprints?"

"No, those footprints are for you to see, Lord Cross, that I can spot his presence because I hear his heartbeat. ”

Nia's words shocked Cross, he never thought that Nia's perception had reached such a point. However, as a professional killer, it may be normal for Nia to have such a perception.

"Nia, will that loud speech affect your hearing?"

Nia shook her head, she knew what Cross was worried about, "Don't worry about me, Lord Cross, I can control my feelings, I'm a subhuman." With that, Nia's two little ears swayed back and forth a few times.

It was then that Cross realized how ignorant he was, and it turned out that he didn't know enough about the subhumans.

However, now was not the time to understand this, and he whispered to Nia, "I used sand and gravel to make Phantom Shooter appear in Blackwater, do you have any other way?"

"Lord Cross, what are you going to do with him?"

Cross was stunned, he thought that Nia would kill this phantom shooter as he thought, but since she asked so, there must be a possibility of capturing this phantom shooter alive.

It's just that it was more difficult to capture alive, and he didn't want to take the risk, so he told the truth.

"I want to kill him, the probability of capturing the Phantom Shooter alive is too low, and besides, it's easy to forget that we're all in danger unless you have a 100% way to catch him. ”

Nia pursed her lips, her ears moving, and she didn't reply immediately.

After a moment she spoke, "Master Cross is right, it seems that it is better to kill him." ”

Cross saw Nia's thoughts, and he knew that she didn't want to kill, "Nia, if this dangerous enemy can't be completely subdued, it can only be killed, and once we let him go out of mercy, our partner may die at his hands." ”

"Hmm. Nia nodded.

"Tell me what to do, I'll kill him. ”

Nia smiled and shook her head, "Lord Cross, you don't know his true location, you can only attract his attention, and I can only kill him with one blow." ”

Cross couldn't help but stare at Nia for a long time, he knew why she was laughing, and he understood why Nia didn't want to kill him.

Nia suddenly turned her head, a slight flush on her cheeks, "Lord Cross, we're going to get moving...... Otherwise, the phantom shooter will be out of our sight. ”

"Good. ”

"Let's get started, rush towards the footprints, Lord Cross. ”

At Nia's instructions, Cross sprang up the walls, ran and leaped towards the footprints.

Such a huge movement caught the Phantom Shooter's attention, and he suddenly realized that Cross was already flying in his direction.

The Phantom Shooter was shocked: Could it be that he was exposed? impossible...... Could it be that Silver-Eyed Cross has a strong sense of perception!

The Phantom Shooter's inner regret was surging, he could have survived, if he had completely complied with the rules of Lord Sephiroth, he would have survived, but now, it seemed to be too late.

But, even then, he had to make a last-ditch effort. He wanted to feel the horror of Silver-Eyed Cross before he died.

It's just that it's too late to draw the bow and shoot arrows, and all he can do is throw the dagger he carries as much as possible.

The Phantom Archer grabbed the daggers around his waist with his fingers, and threw them at Cross with all his might.

In the face of the sudden arrival of six daggers, Cross could only make emergency precautions, in the air, he could not dodge, he could only shrink himself into a ball, using his body to resist this wave of damage.

At this time, Nia was sprinting towards the Phantom Shooter, and she was about to attack it directly from the front, but suddenly this change occurred, and she had to change her original strategy.

Nia's priority now goes from killing the Phantom Shooter to protecting Cross.

Nia snorted, her speed increasing once more, and her blue eyes turned blood-red.

This is Nia's special ability, Blood Bad.

The innate ability of blood damage is very rare among subhumans, and Nia, who is half-human, happens to inherit the blood of his father Watson.

Moreover, Nia's blood damage is stronger than Watson's, her blood damage ability can be activated and canceled by herself, and the ability to control it is the real ability.

With the help of a burst of blood damage, Nia moved forward at a faster speed and then leaped violently......
