Free Web NovelChapter 21: Helping Andrew And Mathew
Max arm jolted by recoil as a deafening blast echoed across the forest.
The tiny drop of blood resting on Max’s fingertip exploded. freēwebnovel.com
Not into one projectile, but dozens.
Each droplet compressed into a deadly crimson pellet before erupting outward like the blast of a shotgun.
Ace’s expression changed instantly. It was unavoidable, as they were scattered all around and were too many to dodge. Ace can do nothing to avoid it. No matter how ghostly his movements were or how mysterious his eyes were, all became meaningless.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Numerous blood pellets with lightning speed and terrifying power pierced his body. In an instant, countless bloody holes appeared across Ace’s body.
He looked like a porcupine pierced by crimson spikes. His blue eyes widened in disbelief as it lost its colour. Even as his consciousness started to fade, he couldn’t believe what just happened.
He didn’t expect this would be his last hunt. It seems the hunter was finally caught by its prey.
Max took a deep breath as his aura weakened a bit and looked at the Ace’s corpse and land beside him with multiple craters formed by his scarlet buckshot.
The power of it was surprising even to him. He didn’t expect every tiny blood pellet to hold such a destructive power. With this he should be able to face stronger enemies. Along with it, due to pressure, he seemed to have obtained a better understanding of his blood-control ability.
From now on, using Blood Bullet would no longer require lengthy preparation. He could form and fire it almost instinctively—even in the middle of combat.
As for the Scarlet Buckshot, it was still a bit tricky, and it could be said he was in the zone at that moment and was lucky that he managed to pull it off in mid-battle. But still it is possible to do it in the heat of battle with intense focus. freēwebnovel.com
He then looked in a different direction from where he could still hear the sound of battle.
Clang!
Boom!
Metal collided repeatedly.
Sol was able to bring the two brothers more than two hundred metres deep in the forest with his wind power, preventing them from helping Max.
They had been fighting with each other for some time now, but the brother’s situation wasn’t good; in fact, it was worse than Max’s. They were severely injured, and their bodies were covered with deep cuts. Their Berserk Bloodline allowed them to keep fighting despite the pain. But they didn’t have Max’s regenerative ability.
They heard the bang sound; it was powerful like thunder’s roar and naturally made them shocked. Sol didn’t know what happened, but on the other side, Andrew and Mathew knew exactly what it was, as they had seen the devastation of Max’s attack.
Both believed nobody would survive if they met that kind of attack head-on. They, although, met Max just today, but for some reason they instinctively believed that he must have won. They could not say where this kind of feeling came from, but immediately they became excited.
Now they have to hold for just a minute as Max arrives, and then defeating the enemy in front of them will become possible.
Sol noticed the change; both brothers’ eyes showed confidence, which surprised him. He already saw through the strength of these two brothers. Not only is there a difference in their bloodline strength, but he is also at the peak of the awakened realm, just a step away from the next realm.
In such a drastic difference in strength from where they were suddenly getting their confidence from? He was doubtful, but those doubts disappeared as suddenly as he once again heard the bang.
Bang!
Like a dragon’s roar, his eardrums trembled. A powerful sense of danger erupted within Sol’s instincts.
The wind behind him screamed. Without hesitation, Sol unleashed his wind ability to its absolute limit. His figure instantly darted sideways. But he seemed to still be a step slow as he saw some blood pellets graze his left shoulder.
Boom!
Fresh holes exploded through his flesh.
"Aaah!" He screamed in agony as blood poured from the wounds. His face immediately turned pale. He looked back from where the loud bang came from with horror. Meanwhile, Andrew and Mathew were feeling completely opposite, excited as they guessed who it was.
"Max!" They shouted in excitement, looking at the figure who came out from the shadows of the dense trees.
While Sol was pale as he looked at Max, he understood what his appearance means and, not to mention, the terrifying attack that injured him. He was in danger.
Although his ability to wield the power of wind is extraordinary, his bloodline rank wasn’t high; it was just D rank. Its low rank limited the true destructive potential of his abilities.
That was why he had been unable to defeat Andrew and Mathew quickly despite holding the advantage.
Which is why he wasn’t able to finish the two brothers quickly. He cannot gauge the unfathomable Max’s strength. He had to leave, but if he didn’t hold them down, he would be heavily punished on his return or possibly even something worse.
He had to hold them, as some time had already passed; they should be about to be caught with them.
Sol gritted his teeth and looked at Max, who also looked sold with a surprised expression.
He had expected Scarlet Buckshot to finish Sol in a single strike. Clearly, Sol’s instincts and speed were better than he’d anticipated.
More importantly, he also noticed that because the distance between them was quite a lot, about fifty metres, the power and speed of his scarlet buckshot seemed to decrease a lot, giving Sol a chance to survive.
Max didn’t waste time, as he had a feeling more were coming to catch him. He used his blood bullets, which he can now fire within a second.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
