Chapter 148 - 148: Death Sniper. (2/2)

'It's almost as if the bullet phased through it...' He thought to himself. 'No... That's exactly what happened.'

They weren't going against a regular sniper, that was for sure.

There was no telling what sort of properties this specialised bullet had.

A normal bullet wound could be treated, but this one was different, A sniper with a compatible ability, anything could happen if they were to be hit.

”An ability this strong... Without a doubt it's the enemy.”

With their guards up and their wariness at it's peak, they began to move.

They knew they couldn't stay still, a sniper who could shoot from anywhere with bullets that could phase through anything...

They weren't taking any chances.

-

”Hm... So they're running now?” He questioned.

Side by side, they leapt from building to building, if not onto platforms of paused air.

They were slowly heading away from him.

”East, huh...”

A smile grew on his face.

”You won't be able to get away.” He muttered.

He pulled out a strangely shaped silencer and attached it to the rifle before he adjusted his scope.

Gray's figure was placed right in the centre.

The sniper licked his lips and let out a little whistle. ”It's showtime~.”

-

With his sister, the two stayed on the move, getting a good scene of the city from the sky above.

The number of corpses laying on the roads were disgusting, the zombies were still somehow active rushing around.

They had evolved a lot more in comparison to before, almost all the ones he had seen had mutated and become abnormal.

On the ground below and the shorter buildings, a few humans wearing the Angel opposition corps uniform were engaged in fights with them.

But it wasn't just the humans and zombies killing each other, there was a third party.

'The other race-'

[Trajectory Shift.]

*Swoosh!*

Gray swayed to the left, barely avoiding a bullet which had come at him from behind.

After dodging, he glanced at a bullet coming from ahead, before leaping up onto another platform with Ria.

This time they weren't hearing any shots being fired.

More and more bullets, came from around them, each from a different angle and location.

They moved so fast that they couldn't tell just how many they were.

Gray had no idea whether or not pause field would work against it, the bullets could probably just phase through the field.

The field was only good on the outside, not inside. It's weakness was the fact that it expanded from within Gray.

With the field expanded, anything which could make it's away inside would be able to freely move inside, this was the key flaw of pause field. The benefit was that it moved along with him.

Besides, even if it didn't phase, it would just be a waste of stamina to keep it up while the sniper waited for the perfect opportunity.

So in other words, they had no choice but to dodge.

”Ria... Whatever you do, don't let a single bullet hit you. Drain all your energy teleporting if you have to and stay close-”

The platform beneath them vanished, they dropped down before being caught by another platform.

Two bullets soared above their heads, only to ricochet onto another two bullets ahead of them.

*Clang!* *Cling!* *Clang!*

A metal sound of objects colliding with one another resounded around them as they struggled to keep up with the sight of the miniature bullets circling them.

With one ricochet onto the next, the bullets showed no signs of stopping.

*Clang!* *Clang!*

Two of the countless bullets were projected right at them from within

The two split up temporarily, each leaping to their own individual side to dodge it.

*Clang!*

A third collision happened, the bullets direction was each changed to the respective directions they had leapt towards.

A rift appeared ahead of Ria engulfing the bullet, while another one ricochetted behind her.

It went soaring from her blind spot.

[Pause Step.]

While also avoiding his, Gray appeared mid-air beside Ria, pulling her away just in time before the second bullet could hit her.

[Spatial Maniulation: Teleport.]

Whilst he still held onto her, the two teleported away once more, getting out of the chain of bullet ricochets in the air above them.

They could be seen running across the top of the rooftop of a much smaller building to cover more ground.

They needed to stay out as taking cover could provide the opposite effect, his bullet could potentially phase through the wall and hit them.

Whilst they continued their run, Gray's eyes widened as he came up with a solution.

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
