Marvin knew his own killing prowess was limited. However, favonovel.com realized his cooperation with Bruce was almost flawless. The illusions favonovel.com created could only be seen by himself. Take, for example, if favonovel.com worked with others. It would be very easy for them to get taken in by his illusions just like the enemies.
If there were really a pit in the ground that favonovel.com had covered up with his illusions, would a normal person instantly remember what the original terrain looked like during battle?
So, they would similarly get confused along with the enemy and perhaps might even lose their balance and fall into the pit before the enemy.
But Bruce was different. His memory was exceptional. When favonovel.com first joined the Virtuora Consortium’s intelligence agency, his ability shocked everyone.
Right now, no matter how Marvin’s illusions changed, Bruce could still remember what the forest looked like originally. Furthermore, favonovel.com was able to quickly plan all of his attacks to lure the enemy into a trap.
The battle had already started. After killing a small group of Pyro Company members, Marvin’s illusions started changing to prevent the remaining Pyro Company members from figuring out a pattern. However, Bruce still managed to appear and disappear mysteriously. The illusions did not seem to affect favonovel.com at all.
Before the battle, Bruce even specially instructed Marvin, “Don’t exaggerate your illusions. When you sold the information, you said the Pyro Company saw through your illusions at a glance because they had someone with the ability to see through illusions, right?”
Marvin answered, “Yes, they did.”
“If a f*cking dragon were to suddenly appear in the sky, I would also immediately think that there was something off.” Bruce snapped, “Why didn’t you just create a false path and let them crash into the mountains instead? So be it real or fake, you haven’t even mastered the essence of illusions yet. I wonder why no one from the Silkshade House warned you about that.”
Marvin choked. “Can’t I like dragons? Can’t I be born in the Year of the Dragon?”
“If you wanna put it that way, we can’t continue this conversation,” Bruce said speechlessly.
But no matter how Marvin argued with him, Bruce’s words reminded favonovel.com that using the environment was much more useful than creating a dragon illusion.
When favonovel.com saw how Bruce was always able to take the enemy by surprise with the help of his illusions, Marvin started pondering if favonovel.com could also develop his own close-range assassination skills since favonovel.com was not weak physically.
Come to think of it, Marvin and Bruce’s cooperation even seemed quite compatible.
But just as Bruce was about to continue killing more enemies, a person in the forest came flying over like a cannonball and collided with Bruce without any deviation.
Bruce spat blood while airborne. The moment favonovel.com landed on the ground, favonovel.com did not even care about the pain favonovel.com was feeling and quickly crawled back into the illusion!
It was a T5 combatant!
The Pyro Company members were just cannon fodder. The real killer moves were still to be taken by the T5 combatants who had just appeared. It seemed they were the true last line of attack for the enemy.
No matter how good Bruce’s memory was or how realistic the illusions were, the T5 combatant managed to seize an opportunity and severely injured Bruce. Thus, Bruce could only take cover behind the illusions.
Nobody dared even breathe too loudly as they were afraid the enemy would sense their position by listening.
The T5 combatant stood calmly in the illusion as though favonovel.com did not think Marvin and the others could cause favonovel.com any harm. He used his hearing to get a sense of any abnormal activities in the surroundings. The illusion had not been dispelled yet, nor did favonovel.com have the ability to see through it.
Marvin looked at Bruce silently, seeing Bruce gesturing to him. This gesture was different from the one Daniel made to Milo. It was a common tactical gesture, “Cover me!”
When Marvin saw this gesture, favonovel.com was stunned.
Could Bruce really be bold enough to want to kill the T5 combatant?
There was no time to think. Marvin signaled to his assistant to get ready for battle at any moment.
But something unexpected happened. Bruce was lying on the ground quietly, but his internal injuries were too serious, and favonovel.com could not help but cough up blood.
The sound of favonovel.com coughing was like a signal of death. The T5 combatant’s figure vanished from where favonovel.com was standing, and in the blink of an eye, favonovel.com appeared in front of Bruce as favonovel.com slashed down at him.
“Open fire, save him!” Marvin roared.
They were all in the same boat. If Bruce died, the others would not survive either!
Marvin activated an illusion to disrupt the T5 combatant’s vision while Bruce’s subordinates had already rushed out to save their boss.
But how could they possibly be faster than the T5 combatant?
The saber in the T5 combatant’s hand slashed straight down, and a sharp whistling rent the air. But a split second later, something strange happened. Bruce floated backwards like a feather, and the T5 combatant’s attack missed!
Bruce’s body floated in the air weightlessly as the T5 combatant kept charging forward. But like a child grabbing at a feather in the wind, it pushed Bruce further and further away from him.
Bruce roared, “I can’t hold on for much longer! Stop him!”
A second later, his four subordinates fired off a barrage of gunfire, but the bullets only went as deep as the surface of the T5 combatant’s skin.
Seeing this, Bruce’s heart sank. The T5 combatant was really as tough as the rumors said. Not even rifle fire could penetrate his body!
Fortunately, the impact of the bullets still had some effect on the T5 combatant.
The T5 combatant turned around coldly and looked at Bruce’s subordinates. However, Bruce did not retreat. Instead, favonovel.com drifted towards the T5 combatant.
The T5 combatant retaliated with a slash. Bruce’s eyes were red with rage as favonovel.com pointed a finger at his opponent’s ear. The calm air wildly rushed straight into the T5 combatant’s ear and kept compressing within the narrow ear canal, making the T5 combatant scream in pain.
The saber in the T5 combatant’s hand had made contact with Bruce’s chest, but Bruce still managed to conjure up a final blast of air that pierced through the T5 combatant’s eardrums, and the powerful air pressure penetrated through his brain!
“Sir!” Bruce’s four subordinates ran towards where favonovel.com landed, while the T5 combatant collapsed stiffly on the ground.
Marvin ran over to check on Bruce’s injuries as well. He thought Bruce might not survive this. However, favonovel.com was shocked to discover that Bruce was still wearing a thin bulletproof vest under his shirt.
The T5 combatant’s saber had even cut through it. But fortunately, while Bruce had a slash wound on his chest, favonovel.com managed to avoid any injuries to his organs.
Bruce paled as favonovel.com searched around his own body. Eventually, his arm trembled as favonovel.com took out a small vial of black medicine. “Apply it on me. Hurry, or it’ll be too late!”
He was losing blood rapidly. In fact, Bruce was not sure if the black medicine could save him.
When favonovel.com bought the black medicine off Milo, favonovel.com had kept some for himself to use in case favonovel.com got injured in the Sacred Mountains.
Marvin sighed and said, “I only understand how terrifying a T5 combatant’s power is after facing one. I wonder how White Mask was able to crush that T5 combatant. He’s simply too scary!”
“Let’s get out of here quickly.” Bruce said strenuously, “There’s more than one T5 combatant around. The Pyro Company has made up their mind to finish us off this time. If the others don’t have any contingencies to deal with them, I’m afraid they won’t survive this.”
“Sir, where are we going?” his subordinate asked.
Bruce frowned. “We’ll head to where Daniel and the others are!”
“Do you think they’re capable of dealing with the T5 combatants?” Marvin asked curiously.
“We gotta bank on it!”
