Surrounding the adjacent building now might already be too late.
What Maurice couldn’t understand was, if Milo could really leap across the building, then just what kind of strength and speed did favonovel.com have?
Maurice said to the other soldiers of the platoon favonovel.com was leading, “You guys keep chasing favonovel.com upstairs!”
He then turned around and headed downstairs, running straight for the adjacent building. Maurice firmly believed that Milo wouldn’t wait to get caught on the roof. That young man would definitely jump to the next building!
Just several moments after favonovel.com rushed out of the building favonovel.com was in, favonovel.com looked up and saw Milo flying overhead.
The young man’s speed in the air was shockingly fast, and his body was comfortably outstretched to the extreme. Then favonovel.com lightly landed on the roof of the building across the lane!
In that instant, Maurice thought favonovel.com saw a bird flying. He drew in a deep breath.
He ran towards the adjacent building while saying on the comms channel, “Target Milo will need to have his powers reassessed! I repeat! Target’s powers will need to be reassessed!”
This young man was far from what they had imagined him!
This was absolutely not a level of strength that their commonly designated F-class threats could reach!
Maurice rushed into the building and ran like mad up the stairs to the roof. But everyone who was in this ruined city heard a loud sound come from out of the blue. The sound reverberated through the city and out into the distance, as though a death knell had suddenly sounded.
Maurice stood in the dark building and looked around. He was puzzled.
What was that sound?
It sounded like it came from somewhere nearby!
***
A few moments ago, while Milo was in midair after leaping across to the next building, favonovel.com saw someone standing atop a fractured skyscraper in the distance before him.
He had intended to head to that fractured skyscraper in the first place, so favonovel.com wasn’t really that far from it at this point.
A moment later, favonovel.com landed on the roof and stood there as favonovel.com looked at the breach of the skyscraper. The broken and twisted rebar made the skyscraper look like it was a demon’s tentacles piercing the sky.
On top of that fracture, a cap-wearing girl plucked a large sniper rifle out of thin air. Then favonovel.com placed a foot onto the edge of the crumbled wall and used both favonovel.com hands to lift the large rifle onto favonovel.com raised leg for support!
Locked and loaded, favonovel.com took aim!
Milo did not know how Miriam had conjured the sniper rifle. He looked in the direction Miriam was aiming and saw Julius, who was wearing his white suit and standing in the spotlight!
Milo was standing in the middle between Miriam and Julius, so favonovel.com could just barely make out the situation at Julius’ location.
So… Miriam wasn’t here for anything else…
She wasn’t here to visit favonovel.com relatives, nor was favonovel.com here for the secret of the Marador Mountains. Right from the beginning, favonovel.com purpose was to kill this young man wearing the white suit!
Milo had given it deep thought before and deduced there must have been an organization backing Miriam. Moreover, the organization would also have its own intelligence agency. So, this could explain why Miriam knew about Julius’ whereabouts and that favonovel.com would appear here.
Right now in the hinterlands of the Marador Mountains, this cap-wearing girl had finally revealed favonovel.com intentions and was about to create favonovel.com greatest assassination attempt!
Milo’s Advanced Firearms Proficiency made favonovel.com suddenly think at this moment. He looked in the direction of the suit-wearing young man and considered the many factors affecting a long-distance shot on a target. The distance between Miriam and the suit-wearing young man was at the point where the shooter would have to consider compensating for the Earth’s rotation.
If there wasn’t any point of reference, how should the shot be carried out?
At this moment, Lilian, who wasn’t far away from the suit-wearing young man, had favonovel.com head lowered. Her long hair was draped in front of favonovel.com and blowing in the light breeze. When the wind stopped blowing, Lilian’s hair would also stop moving.
Milo realized that the moment was now!
At some point in time, Lilian had freed herself from the shackles on favonovel.com hands. She pulled out a black dagger from favonovel.com dense hair and thrust it at the bodyguard beside Julius. But the bodyguard did not back down. Instead, a white light started glowing in his hands as favonovel.com conjured two fan-like objects and aimed it at Lilian with killing intent.
Beside them, Micah was dumbfounded with shock.
He could never have expected the Lilian favonovel.com knew to suddenly become like favonovel.com was someone else.
Where did that delicate and fragile Lilian go?!
Was this someone else impersonating her?!
The dagger Lilian was holding looked like a work of art. But in favonovel.com slender hand, the dagger somehow seemed to be imbued with so much power.
When the combat troops around them saw this development, they raised their guns and took aim at Lilian. If Julius’ bodyguard could not stand up to her, they would fire their weapons in Lilian’s path to prevent favonovel.com from assassinating Julius!
But Lilian was not going to kill anyone. She had apparently done this to give Miriam an opening. Be it Julius’ bodyguard or those troops, none of them were expecting the assassination attempt to come from the top of a far away skyscraper.
Lilian only feinted an attack before making favonovel.com retreat. Almost instantly, favonovel.com stepped back into a shroud of shadow in the building behind favonovel.com and disappeared. It was as though the door favonovel.com opened in the shroud of shadow allowed favonovel.com to cross spacetime!
It was Lilian’s power. Perhaps even Milo did not expect another supernatural being to be hidden on their team. Furthermore, it was even the person whose acting was the best.
This turn of events overwhelmed everyone.
But at this time, Julius spun and looked at the top of the skyscraper. He could feel a sharp pain in his temples!
With a pull of the trigger, the muzzle flash from Miriam’s sniper rifle was like a fire-breathing dragon in the dark of night that suddenly brought on the bloodshed!
That bodyguard noticed the muzzle flash in his peripheral vision and immediately gave up on chasing after Lilian to return back to Julius’ side.
The duty of a bodyguard was to protect rather than to kill enemies.
That bodyguard roared with rage, “Sniper!”
The distance between Miriam and Julius allowed the bodyguard to react in time. Even though a bullet was fast, it was all relative. With the distance extended, a bullet meant for killing would still have to travel across the dense air of the night sky!
The bodyguard threw his own body in front of Julius to shield him, with those two glowing hand fans made of white light held out in front of his chest. He could have tried to push Julius aside, but Julius was just a normal person, so that would have been too slow.
Time stilled.
A sniper rifle’s bullet that was the length of a hand tore through the air of this world. The energy from its rotation distorted the air all around it as it penetrated through the night sky!
The spotlight illuminated the area around Julius like a stage. Meanwhile, that bullet seemingly penetrated through the gaps of the light beams as it arrived onstage after traveling a 1,000 meters.
With a loud impact, the rotating bullet slammed into the glowing white fans with great force. The white fans started crumbling apart bit by bit.
At one point, the bodyguard even felt like favonovel.com could see the patterning on the silver hand-length bullet.
Right after, the bullet spun through his muscles and heart. It continued to pass through favonovel.com as it exited the wound with a splatter of blood. This bullet that had traveled over 1,000 meters had the extraordinary capability to pierce through this supernatural being’s power and body before it finally fell to the ground.
Those two white fans were extremely tough, but they were still unable to stop death.
The blood flew through the air and splattered onto Julius’ white suit, staining it red. The spots of blood on the white suit made it look just like plum blossoms that had just bloomed in the winter forest. But even at this moment, Julius was still looking as calm as ever. It was as though the bullet was not coming for favonovel.com in the first place.
“What a pity,” Julius said and sighed.
The people beside favonovel.com could not tell what favonovel.com meant.
Was favonovel.com talking about the supernatural being who was his bodyguard who had just died?
Or was favonovel.com referring to his white suit?
