19 Battle in the Nigh (1/2)

The two elite magicians of Lucent Force were running so fast without any sound in the dark night. They were about reach the suspected hideout of the enemy country's spy.

It was an abandoned building near the edge of the city. The building's main entrance was facing the road on the north and a river on it's south. A lush forest was behind this river and it's where the two soldiers silently appeared.

Hawk has drawn his two gold-plated guns, his favorite artifact. It's ammunition was specially made mana material, so instead of human made metal bullet, a highly compressed elemental bullet would come out that has capability of instantly destroying weak mana shells.

Apparently, the creation of Magic Jammer Canceller was still time consuming and it doesn't have a 100% success rate. Jax stone is a very fragile material that could easily be destroyed if it received too much pressure during the infusing process. It means that with the short duration when the government's Magic Engineers received the structure, they were only able to successfully create one Magic Jammer Canceller.

Currently, it was Raven who was assigned to equip this mana artifact for this mission.

”I'll go in, just stay here and make sure no one will escape.” Raven said gravely. He was confident on his skills in combat that he was willing to attack alone in the abandoned building.

Unfortunately, if his enemies decided to flee instead of battling him, he lack sufficient skills to prevent many people from escaping at the same time. His plan to let Hawk stay outside was because his partner specialized in a more diversed attacks.

Hawk only nodded behind his cloak and readied his position. He chose a water tank tower near the abandoned building, an elevated position where he could see the whole surroundings.

At the same time that he positioned himself.

Bang!!

Raven blasted open the rusted metal door of the building, he used his right hand equipped with a gauntlet emitting purple light to smash it open. Dust and debris was thrown all over inside the building.

”Enemies!!”

Some of them was injured by the result of Raven's first attack. They immediately used their weapons to counter attack. They numbered 15 as Raven counted and are all equipped with high powered gun.

Since Raven specialized in frontal combat, he was more than willing to face them head on.

”Show me what you've got!”

As soon as he shouted, the body armor that he wore inside the cloak suddenly emitted a purple light that expanded to form a 5 meter radius dome protecting him from the inside. It only lasted for a second before abruptly shrinking in and covered his whole body instead.

The high powered guns that would normally trouble standard magicians was useless in front of this protective cover that Raven activated.

Ding! Ding! Ding!...

A metallic sound was the only thing being heard whenever the bullets touched his cover. It lacked the sound of flesh being torn by the high powered gun's bullet. When they noticed that bullets aren't working, some has even thrown explosives leaving a deafening blast.

Raven immediately activated the other mana artifact that he wore, it was the boots he was wearing. Red light covered his feet before a Haste Skill was activated.

”Ahhh!”

”Noo!”

”Where's Lance?!!”
