Chapter 39: The Hunt (I)
Zhou Yuan didn't rest much all night, and the next morning he started preparing early.
Considering Ash's actions of directly bringing himself and the others to his side, this assassin's strength should be weaker than Ash's.
It's kind of in line with the background of the embers. Aside from that gun, the Drama Master is basically a mortal's strength level......
Everything around Zhou Yuan suddenly began to slow down. Then, Zhou Yuan raised his wrist, and a bullet hit Zhou Yuan's bracelet, making a crisp sound of "ding".
Crisis perception, a very useful passive ability, saved Zhou Yuan's life again. The long, narrow, notched, homemade ammunition bounced on the ground with a crisp metal crash.
While Zhou Yuan looked in the direction of the shot, his eyes quickly contracted and turned into a focused camera-like appearance, looking directly into the distance.
A kilometer? No, it's a little further...... Between one and two thousand meters, there was a black figure lying on the snow, holding a postmodern steam-style sniper rifle in both hands in the direction of Zhou Yuan.
Subsequently, a second bullet followed.
Putting down the bracelet, and then raising the rocket hammer, Zhou Yuan successfully blocked the actor's shot again.
"I didn't look for you, you actually came to me......" Zhou Yuan turned around and shouted at Artoria, who was already ready, "Wind King Enchantment, maximum power release!"
The Wind King's Enchantment is a means by which Artoria wraps around the Sword of Victory and Oath to hide the Sword of Victory and Oath. Specifically, there is another way to use the Wind King Barrier itself—to turn all of its magic power into a hurricane that gushes out in an instant, forming a trajectory made of wind.
It can be used to kill, it can be used to knock back - and of course, it can be used to go with the wind!
Zhou Yuan, who put away all the weight on his body, spread his hands like wind wings, and flew straight towards the drama master.
To be honest, Zhou Yuan still hasn't figured out why the drama master is targeting him: the words against Ash may be needed for the mission, for example, if someone wants to assassinate the leader of the other party, etc., and the drama master just took this task, then what is the reason for such a thing for himself?
Can't guess at all. However, since you meet the other party and the other party is very subtle about your words, then the originally decided strategy of quietly leaving can be changed - whether you directly catch the master or kill him, in short, you can leave here after the master is solved.
Anyway, the other party always has to target himself, and he has to fight if he doesn't fight this one.
The explosion speed of the Wind King Enchantment is still very powerful: Zhou Yuan has already used the speed of the wind at this time to successfully approach the guy who can't see his expression clearly with a mask.
But when that guy saw Zhou Yuan rushing forward, he snapped his fingers unhurriedly.
Then, a metal lotus flower suddenly popped out of the ground, like a clip, towards Zhou Yuan's foot.
"Remnant of Kaija ......"
Before Zhou Yuan finished speaking, a blue light curtain suddenly appeared on the lotus clip, and Zhou Yuan was suddenly locked in place.
"Blackclaw......?!"
But immediately after, Zhou Yuan broke free from the shackles of this lotus clip and pulled his foot out of the clip.
In fact, Zhou Yuan was only caught by the moment when he was caught by that clip.
Wrong...... This thing was much simpler than the one Blackclaw used, and it could only grasp itself for a split second...... If it was Blackclaw's weapon against Zhou Yuan, he should have been caught by the clip by now.
Moreover, the blue light on this clip is not the kind of device that produces a blue light curtain, but more like an attribute of the clip itself...... There aren't many people on the Valoran Continent who have spatial abilities, but I'm definitely not the only one. If it is to ensure that the ability of the clip can also be triggered by the spatial ability, then it makes sense.
Other words...... Is this the prototype of Zhou Yuan's weapon?Is the projection of the Drama Master recruited into the Black Claw?
But this lotus-shaped lock clamp with a blue light curtain did succeed in hindering Zhou Yuan's calves, locking Zhou Yuan's high-speed movement on the ground.
Immediately after, Zhou Yuan also fell to the ground after being locked, and had to continue to run ahead of him, while the drama master unhurriedly aimed the hole in the eyes on the mask at Zhou Yuan, and then gently pulled the trigger.
There had always been a strange and distorted smile on the mask, but at that moment, Zhou Yuan seemed to see Ember's somewhat smug face.
The bullet with the red wave of qi passed through Zhou Yuan's side, and then accurately hit the lotus flower that had just closed behind Zhou Yuan.
A violent explosion sounded behind Zhou Yuan at that moment.
“……!”
It seems that it is the reason why it is not directly pointed at Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan did not react at all when the bullet entered within twenty meters of the crisis, and did not react until the bullet broke through to within twenty meters of Zhou Yuan's side.
But it was too late. Although Zhou Yuan chose to use the rocket hammer to block, the hammer handle of the rocket hammer was broken by a bullet, and the bullet swept past Zhou Yuan, causing a thrilling explosion.
"This power ......"
The rocket hammer is forged with a special metal, and it is covered with Zhou Yuan's evil ability in this world, and its defense power should be roughly equivalent to a C-level Noble Phantasm anyway.
However, this Noble Phantasm-level rocket hammer was discounted by this shot.
Zhou Yuan was directly blown up by this explosion and rolled on the ground a few times, looking very embarrassed, but because he was not close to the center of the explosion, Zhou Yuan was okay for the time being;
Of course, this is only a matter of equity. These two halves of the weapon are fixed together just so that they can continue to maintain the form of "Noble Phantasm" and become a whole, which still has an impact on their use. If you want to really fix this weapon, you need to find someone of Winston's level...... Well, for example, Heimerdinger will be able to repair it.
There will probably be a lot of repair costs.
Zhou Yuan was still running in the direction of the drama master. As long as he can get within ten meters of Ember, this battle is Zhou Yuan's victory - Ember is just because of the surprisingly powerful gun that he doesn't know what to use to make him squeeze into the ranks of heroes, as long as he gets close, Zhou Yuan will win.
Fighting at close range, how could Zhou Yuan not be able to defeat an ordinary person?
Then, at this time, Ember stood up.
He had a pistol in his hand.
