Above the barrier, the sound of the sniper’s bullets hitting it was like a copper bell ringing over their heads.
Truly, the barrier was very strong. It did not really break even after being blasted by 15 to 16 sniper shots, and it even seemed like it could continue to hold for a long time.
Miriam’s shoulder was still aching from all the shots favonovel.com had taken back at Mt. Zendravasih, which nearly crippled favonovel.com shoulder. Her injury was definitely not something that would heal within a day or two.
But favonovel.com just frowned and continued firing at the barrier without stopping. Each time favonovel.com fired a shot, the huge recoil of the black sniper rifle would cause the buttstock to hit favonovel.com already injured shoulder. But even if it hurt, favonovel.com did not care.
Miriam was only concerned with being present on this occasion that Milo had risked his life to fight for.
The superhuman in the barrier hurriedly used his own mental strength to reinforce the area being fired upon. However, the speed at which favonovel.com was reinforcing it was not as fast as the other party’s attacks! Moreover, the sniper did not seem to have any intention of giving up, with every shot consistently fired at the same spot.
Shot after shot, they came fast and intense. There was no end to it.
For some reason, the superhuman in the barrier suddenly felt a little scared. He saw the spider web cracks getting larger and larger. This was the first time favonovel.com had seen someone so insistent on breaking his barrier.
Logically, it was already very strong for being able to withstand so many shots from an anti-materiel sniper rifle. But at some point, the sound of glass shattering could seemingly be heard throughout the entire world. The light blue translucent barrier shattered into pieces before the “debris” dissipated in the air.
The superhuman who set up the barrier spat blood and suffered huge backlash.
When the other superhuman saw that their plan had completely failed, favonovel.com hurriedly fled.
He did not even care about his injured companion coughing up blood. It was not that favonovel.com was cold-blooded or heartless, but that the training they had received and mission requirements were just like that. If the plan failed, they would have to quickly retreat and not attempt to save their comrades.
Daniel looked at Miriam, who was on top of a tall building not far away. She was wearing a cap and a rain poncho as favonovel.com started locking onto favonovel.com target through the scope.
“Both husband and wife are here. Don’t you feel like you’re a divine general or something?” Daniel said excitedly.
Bill said helplessly, “You’re a superhuman yourself, so why don’t you think about how to raise your power level instead of relying on others?”
Daniel thought for a moment and explained, “Actually, this power of mine is a little cruel. The soldiers fought for the Panaqua Consortium for so long, yet they still can’t find peace after death. No matter how I think about it, I can’t justify it.”
“Whatever…” Bill suddenly felt that Daniel’s awakened power was a little contradictory. Although it could be a very powerful skill, Daniel himself was unwilling to use it.
That was because Daniel felt the Martyr’s Palace was not the best place for the martyred spirits to return to.
He could not bear to see the soldiers suffer endless darkness in the Martyr’s Palace after their deaths. To him, that darkness was like a punishment for bringing them back from the dead, something which transcended the laws of nature.
The crack of the sniper rifle could be heard again. The bullet fired from the high-rise building hit the back of the fleeing superhuman. It was only one shot, but it was enough to leave favonovel.com lying still on the ground. But a few seconds later, that hitman’s corpse gradually disintegrated to nothing.
Miriam frowned.
Could this be a kind of substitute power?
She had not expected favonovel.com to get away in the end.
Thinking of this, Miriam prepared to head downstairs to give chase. She knew Milo would not want to let any of the hitmen escape.
But before favonovel.com could get up, favonovel.com saw Old Durkin walking out from a street corner and holding a black saber dripping with blood.
Old Durkin raised its hand and signaled to Miriam that the superhuman who had escaped was dead.
Five minutes ago, the battle on Old Durkin’s side had ended decisively. However, Milo did not let it join the battle on Daniel’s side. Instead, Old Durkin quietly hid outside the battlefield in case the enemy had an escape power like Shadow Door.
Miriam went downstairs to join up with Milo. When Daniel saw her, favonovel.com immediately greeted favonovel.com with a smile, “Ms. Cruz, long time no see. Sorry for making you come down to Bidara City personally…”
“We only just met at Mt. Zendravasih.” Miriam said calmly, “You don’t have to thank me, thank Milo instead.”
“You two are a couple, so it doesn’t matter who I thank.” Daniel chuckled.
Miriam glanced at favonovel.com but did not refute it.
On the other side, Milo’s battle had also come to an end. He was wearing his armor and dragging the almost dead Number One in his hand from the other direction to the front of everyone.
The metallic clanging of the armor as it walked sounded heavy and gloomy. Some of the Bidara City residents hiding at home quietly looked out their windows. When they saw the armor and Miriam in favonovel.com cap, they immediately thought of the statues on Palladium Boulevard.
Someone got excited. So, it turned out their guardian angels had come to Bidara City to avenge Chief Editor Pena.
As the armor started peeling away, a lot of people tried to sneak a peek at what Milo looked like. But before they could get a clear look, Milo had already pulled the large hood of his rain poncho over his head.
He dragged the hitman to where Pena was and stood there quietly. Meanwhile, Miriam, Daniel, and Bill did not disturb him.
Milo lowered his head. The hood of his black rain poncho cast a shadow on his face, but everyone could sense how sad favonovel.com was.
“I’ve killed some of those who tried to kill you.” Milo threw the hitman in his grip onto the ground and announced at the street corner, “Actually, I should’ve expected that someone would try to kill you, so I should have taken you to the Northwest a long time ago. But I know that you don’t want to go there. Because only Bidara City, a place not controlled by any organization but backed by the neutral Vasophati Group, allows you to do whatever you please without being worried. But if I knew that a day like that day would come, I would’ve probably knocked you out and dragged you to the Northwest.”
“In the past, I vaguely felt that something seemed to have gone wrong with this era. It wasn’t until the day you died that I was finally able to confirm this.” Milo said, “I know that the dead can’t be brought back to life. If life isn’t constrained by a time limit, it would become exceptionally meaningless. But I feel that the world can’t do without a person like you. So, I’d like to ask if you’re willing to be brought back to life in another way?”
Off to the side, Daniel was stunned.
Why did Milo’s words sound a little similar to what favonovel.com had said?
Milo did not avoid Daniel and just quietly stared blankly forward.
However, one second, two seconds… One minute, two minutes… For the first time ever, Milo felt that the passage of time was extremely slow and torturous. However, to his disappointment, Pena did not appear like the other martyred spirits.
Pena was gone. He had utterly and completely left this place.
He had led an untainted life, so there were no regrets or the like holding favonovel.com back when it was his time to leave.
He just departed calmly and with composure.
