195 Team Work (2/2)

Jun threw the stones earlier, so he could get some space if the bridge crumbles. It was his luck that the D3 chased extremely fast and arrived in time when the stones finished expanding in mid-air; then they fell on the bridge and the D3, which destroyed the quarter of the bridge, plunging the heavyweight titan into the pond.

Every step it took caused its other leg to sink deeper into the mud. With the D3 trapped, Jun took advantage of the fortune and started targeting the eardrums. He doesn't know if eyelids could still block a sniper rifle but he wouldn't waste the chance to find out.

Time slowed down as he used Time Perse once again. The D3 still kept walking and ignored the energy consumption it gets.

Jun fired and hit the earlobe. This is the day when he continuously missed shots even when under Time Perse, Enhanced Sight, and the zoom-in feature of Time Perse. He realized how terrible his aim was when targeting a moving target.

The D3 became frightened when it heard the loud sound from the side. It even felt scared when it felt a stinging sensation coming from its ears. It used its muscular arm to cover the side of its face that Jun was facing.

Jun inwardly cursed after failing three times. He was forced to eat another energy fruit since he only had a quarter of his max energy after the bullet's movements were counted as his consumption.

With the sides being blockaded, he quickly ran off to the shore on the other side. He met up with the group and they immediately formulated a plan.

He handed Reena a Tier 2 Short Sword made from Hunter's bone. Her task was to try and cut the D3's muscles on the ankle and shoulders. Even though there was no certainty whether it would work, this is the only plan he could think of right now.

They don't have a weapon that could deal with the D3 on head-on combat. They have to use this underhanded tactic to survive.

Marvin transformed into a red-skinned D1, then started throwing bone spears like he was throwing paper planes. With the stronger physique of a D1, he was able to irritate the D3 with meager damage coming from the immediately shattered bone spears that he throws.

As the D3 got closer to the shore, the team fully encircled on all sides.

Lolita placed an eye symbol in front of the D3's path, and the symbol immediately came to life. The D3 became dazed for a second when the eye symbol shattered causing Lolita to cough out some blood.

When Jun saw Reena and Marvin slowly trudge forward as they entered the waters, he regretted not including Water Striding on the list of the skills they could learn.

Marvin was supposed to act as bait while Reena accomplishes her task. But the D3 didn't pay attention to them as it continued walking towards Jun. After its feet got freed from the mud, it quickly pounced towards Jun, creating a tide of water as it jumped out of the pond.

Marvin jumped forward and grabbed one of its arms, and yet the four-meter Destroyer dragged him like a father carrying his naughty son. Afterward, Marvin got caught on his legs and was smashed left and right, leaving dents on the ground.

Mellissa and Lourdes kept throwing bone spears but the D3 didn't pay them any attention. Reena finally caught up and started slashing its ankles. The Tier 2 Bone Short Sword created sparks as it clashed with the steel-like skin of the D3.

The D3 kicked backward, sending Reena flying into the pond. Fortunately, the water cushioned her fall, and the only pain she felt was from the kick she received.

After the D3 tossed Marvin to the side, it immediately sent a punch towards Jun.

Just as the punch was about to reach Jun, a tanned robust man appeared. His body became enveloped with a white outline. The tank top he was wearing got shredded and his body flew backward towards Jun.

The tanned man coughed out blood but his defense was a success after seeing the trembling bloodied hand of the D3.

Lolita was able to sneak behind the D3 and used Relaxation, then Stimuli Control. She wanted to make the carrier sleep by making it relax and at the same time making it feel tired.

Though the attack wasn't a total success, it helped set up a certain someone's ability.

Benjie stared at the D3, then started chanting his skill, Mesmerize.

With the relaxed and tired D3, the skill that should have only lasted for a second persisted for several seconds.

Jun, who knew beforehand what kind of skill Benjie had, immediately put his eye into the scope of the sniper rifle. He even used Time Perse and Enhanced Sight, together with additional zoom-in and Empower, before pressing on the trigger.

”Bang!”
