Chapter Seventy-One: The King and the Soldiers
Updated: 2012-08-05
"It's a pity. ”
Zero put Colt down, turned away from the hideout, and began to search for the next sniper position.
The trap in that first sniper point was carefully designed by Zero for Sauron.
The Dark Council's strength is unquestionable, as evidenced by Zero's observations of Sauron's team prior to Operation Zero. Those efficient and practical equipment, to the soldier's marching equipment, and Sauron also had second- and third-order aliens with different abilities as followers. From these points alone, you can see the strength of the Dark Council from the side.
But a team like Sauron is not completely without weaknesses, and the biggest weakness is precisely Sauron himself.
Through observation, Zero found that Sauron always occupied a corner of the camp by himself, and even those few Adepts had to keep a distance from him. This shows that Sauron is a proud man and holds his own identity. Such a person may be very strong, but the tacit understanding with the team is bound to be pitifully low.
In this team, Sauron is the king, and the others are soldiers.
As a result, a jihua for Sauron took shape in Zero's mind.
Zero's sensitivity to the breath of mutant creatures is still on Sauron's, and this has nothing to do with ability, but rather a pure intuition from within. Zero couldn't explain why this was the case, but he knew that he knew exactly where the greedy and dangerous creatures were hiding, and even near Sauron's camp there was the smell of mutant creatures. It's just that the force of the team makes these guys hiding in the dark fearful, but when an individual appears in the ruins, then even though the individual is slightly stronger, the monsters in the ruins will not care about this.
For them, the supers are powerful individuals, and their flesh or blood will be sweeter.
After completing his observations, Zero quietly retreated. There is no distance limit to his free field of vision, so Zero can observe Sauron's team from a distance without being detected by the team's counter-reconnaissance abilities.
After retreating, Zero bypassed Sauron's camp and made his way to the ruins of the city. He used his flesh to attract some bloodthirsty creatures to the mansion of the first sniper position. There, Zero fired a shot and killed one of Sauron's soldiers. He knew that such a practice would not be tolerated by a proud man like Sauron, and as he had expected, Sauron had single-handedly killed him.
Now that the king had attacked, the rest of the soldiers had to remain in the camp obediently. If Sauron didn't give the order himself, they would never dare to intervene in the contest between Sauron and Zero. Zero knows this, and Sauron's pride will be his chance to win.
In that sniper point, Zero lays out a simple but effective trap with his own blood. Those monsters attracted by Zero, after Sauron is drenched in blood, not only stimulate the ferocity of the monsters, but also make them regard Sauron as prey. The two Shadow Slayers, on the other hand, were a feast carefully prepared by Zero for Sauron, and based on common sense, Sauron would never make the mistake of competing with the Shadow Slayer in a narrow area, so he had only one choice.
It's about escaping the mansion and dealing with these two monsters in the open. Therefore, Zero's sniper rifle has been waiting there for a long time. Judging by the terrain, Sauron's quickest escape route was through the window of the original hallway. In an unexpected situation, Sauron could not have expected Zero to fall, so Zero had a good chance of success.
It's just that Zero miscalculated Sauron's sensitivity to danger, so the shot he thought was bound to hit was shot at the window frame.
It was only a little bit before Zero was able to kill Sauron. Jihua fails, but Zero is not frustrated. He still has a future.
In the building, Sauron had lost the best chance to escape from the building. The nimble and agile Shadow Slayer has come up behind Sauron, keeping a safe distance. But Sauron knew that if he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he still planned to get out through the window, even if Zero didn't attack. But the moment you jump out of the window, you will inevitably attract the attack of two shadow killers.
Attacked at such a close distance, Sauron was not sure that he would retreat with his whole body. The safest way now is to kill the two Shadow Slayers in the hallway and then walk away.
However, it is not easier to do this than the first option.
Shadow Slayers, like living corpses, are mutated human lifeforms. It's just that they have a different mutation route from the living corpses, and they still maintain seven human forms, but they are closer to the beasts than the living corpses.
Shadow Slayers are pitch black all over, their hair and nails black. Only a pair of eyes on their faces were silvery, and they landed on all fours like wild beasts with long legs and long hands. On their shoulders, elbows, and knees are a substance shaped like magic crystals. These things seem to be the Shadow Slayer's energy supply organs, and scholars have dissected this creature and extracted valuable bio-energy from these magic crystals. However, the surface of the magic crystal is as hard as tight steel, and although it looks brittle like glass, it can withstand the test of high temperatures and strong acids. Therefore, forcibly shattering the shard to stop the Shadow Slayer's function is not a strategy.
The Shadow Slayer's weapons originate from their arms, which are lanky and have disproportionately large palms. These giant palms can be freely combined or split, allowing the Shadow Slayer to generate weapons like giant scissors. The deformed big scissors can even cut the cannon barrel on the armored car. And with the speed of the Shadow Slayer, which is equivalent to the fourth-order agility enhancement of humans, these sharp shears have become a deadly weapon in the dark, which is impossible to guard.
In the hallway, the two Shadow Slayers were already in combat mode. Their palms are split in the center, and the phalanges on both sides are closed and covered by a layer of flesh that is constantly being generated. After completing this mutation process, another layer of armor-like material enveloped the mutated palm. The creature armor provides some defense to the Shadow Slayer while sharpening the edges, and the fearsome Scissorhands are done at the same time.
The monster closed its large scissors and let out the crunch of iron strikes, carefully approaching the distance between the two sides towards Sauron.
Sauron took a deep breath, a red light rising from his feet. The surrounding fire elementals were mobilized by him, and the red flames soared, forming spears and shields in Sauron's hands. More red light condensed on Sauron's chest, shoulders, arms, and legs, and an elemental armor of soaring flames appeared on Sauron's body.
Elemental armament is a deeper application of elemental force fields, which embody elemental force fields that are invisible to the naked eye, and then compress them into weapons and armor. The ability of elemental armament depends on the strength of the ability, and as far as Sauron knows, the high-level elemental ability of the Scarlet Knight can even manifest the high-damage weapon of the elemental cannon. That cannon blasted out was directly the annihilation power of a single element on space, which was definitely a powerful ability at the level of destruction.
Although Sauron has not yet metamorphosed enough to be able to use elemental armament to the level of destruction, in this special environment, elemental armament is more effective than Sauron's other abilities.
Every Blood Rider has the art of fighting that is tailored to the environment, and Sauron is no exception.
