Chapter 204: Chapter 116: Quiet, Don’t Move
BOOM!
Zero didn’t care about any of that. He only knew that these two were Wei’en’s enemies. It was either kill them or be killed by them. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
This was the first rule Miss Undead had taught him!
It sounds like it took a long time, but everything happened in an instant.
Wei’en wasn’t surprised by their transformation. ’Isn’t it perfectly normal for followers of the Abyssal Sect to turn into Abyssal Creatures?’
He had only one word on his mind—kill!
’Driver, activate the Swift and Blast Runes!’
On the sniper rifle’s body, thicker than even a shotgun’s, several gears spun rapidly. Two runes flashed one after another, their light projecting into the magazine.
Fire!
As he pulled the trigger, only two faint muzzle flashes lit up, followed by a soft, muffled bang.
THWIP, THWIP.
"Dodge!!" Bolsen’s expression changed drastically when he noticed Wei’en’s movement. Even though his power had skyrocketed after his transformation, a strange chill had just risen from the bottom of his heart.
"Huh?"
But the two bullets reached them in a ten-thousandth, maybe even a hundred-thousandth, of a second.
The bullets had already pierced their bodies just as they began to dodge.
This was followed by the triggering of the Blast Rune. The violent Rune Power instantly detonated the bullets inside them, sending dozens of tiny fragments bursting outward.

’Huh? He died just like that?’
’The death traits triggered by the fragments are calculated separately?’
’So damn strong!’
Wei’en’s thoughts shifted, and he aimed the muzzle at Bolsen, pulling the trigger again.
’Swift, Blast, Trajectory Control!’
Bolsen’s eyes widened, filled with terror. He couldn’t believe the feedback from his spiritual senses. ’Reinhart is dead?’
One had to understand, followers of the Abyssal Sect were always considered unbeatable by those of the same rank.
This wasn’t just because their contracted Abyssal Creatures could assist in battle, but also because the Abyss’s origin power could strengthen their bodies to a level comparable to Abyssal Creatures.
In terms of defense, only the Flesh Transformation Wizards from the Blood Spirit School could surpass them...
’Wh-why?’
But no matter how shocked he was, under the threat of that sniper rifle, he no longer dared to harbor any thoughts of underestimation.
He never stopped moving, weaving frantically to dodge the bullets. He couldn’t even spare a thought to attack Zero nearby. He just wanted to evade the strange long rifle’s attacks, and then...
...get back alive and interrogate that damn Abyssal Creature. ’Why won’t you come out?!’
BOOM!
BOOM!
...

[...Instant Death progress 114/600...]
"Doslav!!"
Death traits like Pestilence, Calamity, and Decay caused Bolsen’s condition to deteriorate rapidly. He could even feel the Abyssal origin power within him being tainted. freewebnøvel.com
The wounds created by the piercing bullets couldn’t be repaired by his Abyssal power. Pustules began to emerge from them, one after another.
They would burst and turn into festering pus and blood.
He could even see the flesh around the wounds withering as if its life force had been drained away, aging countless years in an instant...
"Doslav, if you don’t come out now, you can die with me!"
But was it that the large Abyssal Creature, spiritually linked to him, didn’t want to come out?
It didn’t dare.
Even though the other Abyssal Creature made of black stone had completely turned to stone, it didn’t dare make the slightest move...
"I... I... Mr. Leonard, you and my master have been ’good friends’ for many years. For his sake, could you please have your Companion let us go? I swear, if I ever see that person outside again, I’ll give him a wide berth..."
"..."
Hearing this, the clown rolled his eyes frantically. "Mmmph mmmph mmmph..."
One could roughly interpret the dissatisfaction for the Abyssal Creature in his eyes.
’You might as well just fucking die!’
’Can’t you see what’s happening right now?’
’If I could talk or move, do you think I’d need you to tell me?’
’Damn it, you just wait. If you don’t die this time, the first thing I’ll do when I get out is kill you!’
Wei’en watched the seemingly crazed Bolsen with confusion. ’Doslav? Who’s that?’
But the thought passed in an instant, and he refocused on steadying his sniper rifle.
Aim, fire, trajectory control.
He had to admit, the power of this sniper rifle, combined with the burst of Rune Power, far exceeded his expectations.
Thank goodness he hadn’t rashly gone to Lisi to test the gun. Otherwise, he was genuinely worried he might have killed her in one shot...
[...Triggering Death Trait: Decay. Instant Death progress 381/600... Reward: Survival Points +9, Gunnery +6.]
"Matteo! Save me!"
Knowing he couldn’t go on like this, Bolsen had no choice but to call for help. He was terrified that a few more shots would mean immediate death.
As his voice echoed, the surrounding infernal landscape completely dissipated, returning them to Ruer District.
The nearby pedestrians who saw the two of them didn’t need any warning to turn and run, wishing they could sprout two more legs.
"Quick, notify the City Guard! A large Abyss Demon has been spotted in Ruer District!"
