Chapter 104 - Chapter 104: Chapter 100: The Killing Move! (2/2)
“Bang!”
Just as the treasure-class artifact’s gap in protection was about to end, a bullet came unexpectedly, causing the old man’s neck to throb in pain—his spell was interrupted!
He clutched his neck in shock, unable to speak a word!
“Ugh!”
Why would someone suddenly shoot nearby when the enemy-seeking spell “Summoning Fiery Red Ants” had confirmed that there was no one around!
The old man, unable to believe it, turned his head while clutching his bleeding neck, staring fiercely at a tree not far away.
The silver-haired youth had stealthily approached in the dark, crouched on the tree, holding a flintlock aimed at him.
Who was he?
The old man didn’t understand who the attacker was at all!
If the youth from before wasn’t Chris, and he was Chris, then who was the previous youth?
Having completed one shot and secured his victory, Chris, with indifferent coldness, quickly reloaded a second bullet.
Agile as a cat, he leaped from the tree, giving no chance for retaliation.
Sure enough, as expected, just as he jumped down, the two-headed terrapin spat out a heavy water ball that completely shattered the large tree!
“Ugh, ah!”
The old man didn’t die immediately, trembling as he took a crimson vial from his pocket and ingested the sticky liquid within that resembled blood.
I still have a chance!
He bemoaned within his heart that as soon as he recovered, he would immediately use “Strengthen” to summon some summoned creature.
To his utter astonishment, the old man discovered that the wound on his neck did not heal; the reason was utterly unknown, but the precious life-preserving potion had no effect!
There were too many incomprehensible events tonight; trembling, the old man lay on the ground, feeling life slowly ebbing away, and his body’s intense pain, leaving only immense fear and confusion deep within his heart.
“Cough cough cough!”
He continued to cough out blood, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The members of the Fischer family who were Extraordinary Exponents,
were simply not normal!
What was really going on with them!
Members of the Fischer family suddenly realized that all the summoned creatures from the enemy began to behave abnormally; the control spells on them seemed to fail all at once.
“Aow!”
The bull’s head demon Baal, no longer controlled, charged towards the manor driven by its instincts until Erik hit it with poison mist spray. It covered its eyes in pain, wailing in place for a long time until it was completely killed by the alchemical explosive.
Those explosive black ants scattered and frantically fled, and it wasn’t easy for Vanessa and Archibald to detonate them before they could explode upon encountering anyone.
The magic beast with two heads was, in fact, a mysterious creature called Celagram from the western regions of the Ouden Continent.
Once the control spell ceased, its heads completely withdrew into its shell, no longer participating in any external matters.
Archibald exhaled in relief, shouting excitedly, “The control on the summoned creatures has failed, that guy must be dead!”
Indeed, all of them had heard about this from Vanessa.
Most of the summoned creatures of a summoning spellcaster are mysterious beings forcibly summoned from this world or other worlds.
And as soon as the summoner dies, all control over the summoned creatures is released, and they all act according to their own instincts and will.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Archibald wanted to rush to the old man’s side but very rarely heard Chris’s loud shout.
“Don’t go over there!”
Chris, who had reloaded his bullet, reappeared, standing in the darkness a hundred meters away with an orichalcum alchemical flintlock, accurately shooting the old man’s corpse with another bullet.
“Bang!”
“Aaaaaahhhh!”
The old man, who had been lying there for a long time, suddenly let out a howl of pain and anger!
As a spellcaster, his physical condition wasn’t as robust as that of a Bloodline Knight, but it was still a bit stronger than an average person’s; he hadn’t completely died yet but also couldn’t focus enough to muster his spiritual power.
Fischer family!
I curse you; you’ll all go to hell sooner or later!
It won’t be long, just a little while longer, and the Sea God will prepare the final funeral for you and the Cyart people of the East Coast!
Archibald froze, realizing the enemy had intentionally released the control over the summoned creatures and then pretended to be dead on the ground.
If he had approached carelessly, he might have been killed in a surprise attack by the dying enemy.
“So that was it…”
He trembled in fear, recalling the teachings of Hospital Director Irene.
Cautious! Secretive!
He often faced punishment from the director for his carelessness and almost died tonight due to his lack of caution.
The recent scene made everyone more vigilant. They waited a while longer until Chris completed his third follow-up shot, confirming that the old man was completely dead, and members of the Fischer family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“We won!”
Cheers erupted, the shouting of dozens of people was loud, and only at that moment did the neighbors around the streets dare to open their windows and doors, peeking quietly in this direction.
When Chris walked over to the corpse of the old man, Archibald, with a sweaty face, also approached, somewhat at a loss, muttering:
“Thank you, thank you, Chris. Thank you.”
Chris stopped in his tracks, turning back to look at him with calmness.
“Survive.”
