Chapter 53: Another Encounter with the Assassin
"It's a pity that it only hit the shoulder, if I had used my original pistol in the first place, that gun would have hit the point!"
Angel held her original 0.45-inch revolver and walked slowly to the hiding place of the sneak attacker in front of her.
Just now, she shot in a hurry and only hit the opponent's shoulder, and when she wanted to replenish the gun, the sneak attacker simply gave up the attack, rolled backwards, and disappeared from the rooftop.
In order to cut off the trouble, Angel immediately chased after him from the rooftop, jumped over the gap between the adjacent houses, and soon came to the location where the sneak attacker had set up an ambush.
Obviously, the shoulder injury did not affect the speed of the other party's run, and only a small pool of undried blood was left on the rooftop, and the person was gone.
This did not surprise Angel, she looked back at the battlefield below, the tuxedo clown has a flexible body and a variety of extraordinary abilities, and is obviously not a low-order extraordinary. But he was already overstretched under the siege of many people, and from time to time he used the ability to reappear from other places after turning into flames, but he was immediately approached by Lorota and caught in a fight.
Dunn pressed his eyebrows again, as if to use the "Nightmare" ability again, Crane and Borgia shot from time to time to cover Lorota, so that the tuxedo clown didn't even have a chance to release invisible bullets.
In the distance, Leonard was already running towards the army with guns, and by the time he joined the fight, the situation on the field should be one-sided.
At this moment, the spirit, which had already saved Angel several times, issued a warning of danger, and the shadow cast by the sun under his feet changed rapidly.
There's someone behind you!
She didn't have time to turn around, so she could only stride forward, while her right hand with the gun twisted backwards and shot aimlessly.
This act saved her own life.
The attacker behind him obviously didn't want to trade his life for his life, and when he saw the gun pointing, he had to turn his body to dodge, and the malicious blow also missed.
After running two steps, Angel turned around.
She was attacked by a man with a hood and a black cloak, his emaciated body hidden under a black tights, and the dagger in his hand reflected the afternoon sun.
It was the "assassin" Angel met last week when he stole the ring from the labor union.
I thought he was on a wanted warrant and had already left the city of Tingen, but I didn't expect to meet this guy again in the docks.
"Is that you?"
"It's you!"
It wasn't just Angel who was surprised, even the attackers exclaimed.
"You're an official Extraordinary?" The hooded assassin muttered, "No wonder Jik has been missing for so long, and you have captured him." ”
In response to him was a bullet that Angel did not hesitate to take.
This time, the Assassin seemed to be prepared for the guns, and instead of blindly dodging as he did last time, he tried to get close to Angel while using his body to dodge the muzzle of the gun.
This brings Angel back to the way she felt when she played against Lady Sharon, but the Hooded Assassin is far from being able to match Lady Sharon.
After dodging the first wave of sneak attacks, she calmly fired a single shot, forcing her opponent to constantly jump, roll and dodge bullets, exhausting her stamina, while pulling out the dagger at her waist with her left hand, ready for hand-to-hand combat.
The remaining four bullets in the gun quickly bottomed out, and the crisp sound of a hammer hitting the cartridge case with a "pop" was heard, and the hooded assassin's eyes lit up, and his feet kicked violently, and he flew towards Angel like an arrow off the string.
Throwing away the revolver that had no time to reload, Angel held the dagger in both hands instead, and instead of retreating, he stepped forward against the hooded assassin and launched the assassin's ability "Charged Blow".
In the last battle, she had already discovered that the assassin in front of her, who was also a Sequence 9 assassin, was not only far inferior to her own combat experience, but even her physical fitness was a notch behind.
It's counterintuitive, because it stands to reason that men are stronger than women, even if they are also strengthened by potions. The two are both Sequence 9 "Assassins", but Angel can outperform each other in strength, and the only possibility she can think of is that her body has not only been strengthened by "Assassin" potions.
After all, Cole Granger drank the Sequence 7 "Witch" potion before he died, and before that, his body was strengthened by the Sequence 8 "Instigator" potion.
Although the abettor only gives him abilities such as "instigation" and "persuasion", the physical enhancement is realistic, and the current Angel Granger is likely to excrete the trait and revert back to "Assassin", still retaining the original physical enhancement, otherwise it would be impossible to explain that she is still a female body, not a male before being transformed by the "witch" potion.
With a "bang", the two daggers collided together, and the power of the "charged blow" launched at the same time exploded in a concentrated manner, causing the daggers to splash out of the contact area of sparks that were still clearly visible in the sun.
The advantage of strength allowed Angel to easily block the incoming dagger, and with a little force, she pushed the hooded assassin's dagger aside, lifted her right foot, and kicked the assassin into the waist with a sweep.
A soft touch was heard, and the blow to his waist, which lacked musculosal and bone protection, caused the assassin to snort and fly sideways like a sandbag, and the dagger fell to the side.
Flying a few meters away, his body did not fall in a parabola, but as if he had suddenly lost weight, he continued to fly about one meter above the ground and flew into the distance.
This is the "lightness" of the Assassins!
The distance was widened, Angel did not catch up, but took out another pistol with a holster under her armpit, this was a slightly smaller caliber revolver she had only received from Old Neil in the morning, and after trying to use one shot just now, she withdrew it because she was not used to it, and it was too late to reload the pistol that had been thrown aside, so she could only use this one first.
The hooded assassin, who had already flown a lot of distance with the force of "lightness" and being kicked away, saw Angel pull out another pistol, and with a strange scream, he disarmed the ability and fell to the ground, which also allowed him to dodge the first bullet fired.
"Bang, bang!"
The hooded assassin fled in embarrassment as he rolled close to the protruding ceiling exhaust duct, and Angel finally aimed at him, who was powerless to change direction, and pulled the trigger.
"Click", the sound of the trigger hitting the air came, Angel was stunned, didn't this revolver have six bullets?
By the time she realized that she had fired a shot to save Dunn, the Assassin had already hidden behind the brick-made flue and was gone.
This guy can really escape......
Wordlessly, Angel inserted the dagger in his left hand back into the holster at his waist, took out the prepared rapid loader from the pocket of his trench coat, shook off the nest of the revolver, withdrew the cartridge case, and loaded the six new rounds with the loader.
Breaking the hammer to keep the pistol ready to fire, she slowly walked towards the flue extraction duct.
Although the "assassin" has the ability to hide himself in the shadows, he can't use it at all in the afternoon sun, and other skills can't help to hide, the other party must still be hiding behind the flue, as long as ......
Just then, Angel heard a low, oppressive Hermesian voice.
"Frost!"
————
Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Randy, the "assassin" who had no way to hide, gritted his teeth and pulled out the charm that Mitis had given him before making the move.
I had known that I had listened to the words of that guy in Triss and left Tingen City, how could I listen to Mitis and come to participate in these things of the Esoteric Order and the official extraordinary!
Pinching the silver sheet about the size of a folded playing card and engraved with intricate patterns, Randy poured his little spirit into it, making it cold, and then recited the spell that activated the charm.
"Frost!"
Observing the silver plate turn black and the power of the frost sealed inside overflowed, he threw the charm in the direction of the official "assassin" who was chasing him, while pulling out the spare dagger from his waist.
What the hell is going on with this woman?
The strength is stronger than him, the combat experience is richer than him, and he is suppressed everywhere as a Sequence 9, and he has fallen behind in both battles, and this time he was forced into a desperate situation.
However, when this "Frost Charm" takes effect, it is not that he has no chance.
"Bang!"
The sound of gunfire came as if it were right in my ears.
With the sound came a surging cold, and the spell was detonated in advance!
The cold quickly spread throughout the rooftop, and the spell that had been triggered earlier was closer to Randy, and the cold that eroded his body made him feel stiff in his limbs, and even his joints seemed to be coated with glue, obscure and difficult to move.
But the other party must be the same, this is their only chance to fight back!
Randy pulled out a few pennies and threw them out as if he had just thrown a charm, muttering a slurred Hermetic language. This is his usual method of harassing the enemy, and sure enough, he deceived the other party, and there was a "bang" twice, and the crisp sound of a bullet hitting a coin came.
Hit accurately, but it didn't make sense, just two ammo were wasted.
From the battle just now, Randy already knew that the opponent's pistol was a rare 5-round reloader, and as long as he consumed two more rounds of ammunition from her, his chance would come.
Gritting his teeth, he burst out of the other side of the flue and rolled on the spot, dodging the expected shot.
The "Frost" spell filled the entire rooftop with a condensed mist, and the beautiful "Assassin" could be seen raising a pistol in vigilance, and Randy rushed towards her with one lunge, and just two steps away, he suddenly changed direction.
"Bang!"
The opponent's last bullet also missed.
Looking at the female assassin with a panicked face and ready to retreat and open the distance, Randy was overjoyed, holding a dagger in both hands, and launched his most important ability, the "Deadly Attack".
The dagger burst through the air and rushed towards the other party with Randy's body.
Got it!
As soon as the joy of the successful assassination spread throughout Randy's body, a spiritual warning was colder than the frost power that spread all around.
What's going on? How could she not panic at all?
As if in slow motion, Randy saw the horror in the woman's eyes fade in an instant, replaced by indifference.
Instead of retreating, the other man stretched out his left arm, blocking his dagger-holding hands with astonishing force, and the revolver, which should have been empty, moved forward, resisting the jaw of Randy, who pounced on it.
The sound of a hammer hitting a primer and the burning sensation coming from his jaw were the last signals his brain received in this world.
