Chapter 277: An Assassin? (2/2)

The moment he arrived before the professor, he swung his sword toward him.

”Do you think I am a pushover? I still have the power coming from the protector's blood! You won't be able to kill me!” The professor shouted out loud as he swept his claws.

This blood had strengthened his skin to the point it would withstand a normal attack, but it was still a cheap imitation. Even the protector would have many injuries in his body when it was hit by a Vibration Sword, let alone a cheap imitation like Zodiac

*Bang!*

Two bullets shot through the claws and pushed them away.

The bullets were shot from the sky as a woman figure holding two sniper rifles appeared in everyone's vision. The sniper was none other than Isabelle. ”Hehe… Your special reinforcement has come!”

Kai only smiled and cut the two claws by striking the joints with his strength. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. He had specifically asked Nathan to send Isabelle to her way just for this. He said, ”You might have the blood in your body, but you are still too weak to fight me.”

The moment he lost both arms, the professor knew he fuck*d up.

”Unlike my Teacher, who has both brain and martial arts, you are simply a big brain that has turned into an idiot because of your jealousy. Even if you try all the tricks in the world, you won't be able to defeat her.” Kai uttered those words and sent his head flying with both swords.

He halted his steps for a second to check his surroundings before looking at Paolo.

Paolo also remembered the secret mission Kai gave him.

It was yesterday.

Kai suddenly met him and Erica in private, asking them about this mission.

”Eh? By separating Nathan's small army into three armies, you are going to make the enemies think about breaking through the two wings to arrive at our and West Battlefields? After that, we will hold them for you while you are to personally lead a detachment?” Erica exclaimed in surprise.

”Are you serious?” Paolo sweatdropped. Even though he wasn't good with tactics, he still understood how reckless this plan was. ”I'm not really good with this sort of thing, but their target is you, right? Isn't having the target appear before them like that kind of a bad idea?”

”He is right. You are also Ria Ross's student. Even more so given our opponent is those protectors.” Eric agreed with him.

”If someone is needed to lead a detachment, then allow me to handle it!” Paolo asked.

And yet, Kai simply shook his head. ”I am thinking of becoming an assassin in the battlefield that hunts down their weakest link, which is the professor. He has a powerful body but doesn't know any martial arts and strategy, so I will eliminate him first.

”All I need you to understand is that if I spot even a single opening on the enemy, I shall pounce upon it.” Kai looked at both with a serious expression.

”An opening… Do you mean…” Erica immediately realized his plan.

”Yes. The moment you stop the reinforcement from their side, the professor must be trying to push that side to eliminate you. But it also means that he is going to sacrifice the other side a little bit. And that is the opening I am aiming for.” Kai nodded.

*Hiss!*

The couple fell silent as they looked at him with a heavy heart, thinking, 'Is this really a student?'

The thought alone sent a shiver all over their bodies. And Erica even added, ”Against an opponent that doesn't know the target use such a tactic, our success is guaranteed.”

Paolo's body was shaking, staring at the daredevil in front of him. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, saying, ”When that day is upon us, you have my word that I shall eliminate all of the enemies.”

…

Paolo couldn't contain the shock on his face as he looked at Kai in the middle of the enemies, looking back at him with a solemn expression.

'What a man… So this is… Ria Ross's student, the first among students, Kai Carter.'

Kai nodded at him as if he was telling, ”I entrust the rest to you, General Paolo.”

'You may count on me!' Paolo clenched his weapon tighter and nodded back before ordering out loud. ”Spread the word to all our soldiers. Ria Ross's student, Kai Carter, has personally slain the mad scientist.”

The units immediately did as they were told.

However, Paolo didn't want the momentum to stop, so he shouted again, calling his right and left hands. ”Joshua, Maya!”

”Yes, Sir!”

”Onward!”

”Leave none alive!”

The two used all of their strength to push back the enemies, including the fighters that were stalling them this whole time.
