Chapter 263 An Unseen Cold 2 (2/2)

Aldrich waited a few tense seconds before a small screen showed up in the periphery of his vision Aarea projected by V

A red dot flashed in and out of existence in intervals

The dot circled around Aldrich about a hundredpattern re about a wounded i prey

"I can't track the bastard down directly - the tech's MIA, even in Cyberspace - but what I've noticed is the tech they use blacks out in ole point, as if soes," observed V "Pinpointing the center of those waves gets me the tricky little shi+tter's location, but be warned, because I' is delayed

Think of it like bad ping in a gaive or take"

"Forward the location to Diamondback," said Aldrich

"Already done"

"Good job Switching" Aldrich tapped his earpiece to reach Diamondback "You see that?"

"Yeah," said Diaht up there in one jump if you need me to"

"Do that Expect a three second delay in positional data Fro in and out of cover, probably trying to get a good shot on e to grab theo behind them Keep yourself between them and me" Aldrich reached at his hip and withdrew a pistol from a utility belt holster

The pistol clicked into action with a low buzz - the huy

It was a bolter type pistol, but unlike the clunky, prone to jam, prone to explode in your hands type that were a dime a dozen, this was compact

Still on the heavier side, but sleeker, with a shi+ning coal black and bloody red paint job that un out had done so with proud experience in the art of killing things by blowing holes through them via rade The elite, high end weapons line of the a-corp

Saoons from the Red Circle attack, most of them no better than D listers, into veritable super soldiers with aih half the heads of Casimir's men

Since Aldrich could not rely too much on his powers to conceal his identity, he had to fall back on his training Guns and martial arts Explosives, too He had a whole utility belt on hih?

Conventional firearms, even if they were solid, could only take you so far

Against the real top tiers, the A rank and above, you needed ultra futuristic tech froned to counter them

It was impossible to tell so far what level of threat Aldrich was dealing with At the very least, the frost blast alone was enough to tip theive you so soon, though," said Diamondback

In the distance, Aldrich saw Diaht blue under the sun's reflective rays He landed right where the red dot should have been, steering hih an eye scanner that V sent coordinates to

Dia a shockwave blast of force that sent a group of roughshod cars and bikes flying away, tu ruckus as their metal bodies rolled on hard road and paveet out If the shockwave hit the target, it was possible it could even distort or disrupt their cloaking as well

However, there was nothing behind that cover

Aldrich saw the red dot go backwards on the minimap with considerable speed Even with a few seconds of advance notice, dodging a hit from Diamondback's superhuman physicals was no sood Diaet back meant Aldrich had time of his own

He took this ti He raised his palm up and summoned a [Grave Ward] Because the creature was invisible to begin with, he did not worry about it getting spotted

The [Grave Ward] spawned above Aldrich's hand, for into its three eyed, floating form

'Go find the attacker' said Aldrich He directly connectedit

The [Grave Ward] floated out towards the red dot obediently, its large, bulbous directing their unblinking stare in the direction

With its area of effect vision that spanned a radius of twenty five eneral area of the red dot, it could reveal the attacker without the 'ping' that made them hard to directly catch

Then, it was just aValera hold down the attacker for her and Diahter

Aldrich sincerely doubted anyone short of an A ranker with a purely physical power boosting ability could deal with both of theeneration ability severely undercut that possibility

This fight was over the ot to the red dot

Especially because there was no counter to ical stealth

Aldrich sent the [Grave Ward] past Valera, beyond her protective range, confident nothing could strike it down

Aldrich blinked Valera almost dropped her shi+eld

The [Grave Ward] splattered apart, blasted asunder with an accurately placed shot of blue energy that made it very clear that there were, in fact, counters
