Struggle in the Steam Age

"Clang!" With the sound of metal colliding, the point of the sword that stabbed Lawrence just now was shot aside by the [magic missile] fired by his right hand. At the same time, Lawrence's left hand repeatedly pulled the trigger. The remaining four bullets in the magazine were fired within a short period of time.

Unlike the method of avoiding bullets by predicting the position of Lawrence's wrist just now, the close range made it impossible for the killer to react in time. More importantly, he never expected that a young man like Lawrence, who had just been exposed to extraordinary power, would be able to fight back so calmly when the tip of the sword was about to pierce his body.

Therefore, even though his waist was folded 90 degrees and he leaned back directly, two blood grooves were opened by Lawrence's bullets on his chest and abdomen. However, the killer didn't panic. Instead, he took advantage of this moment to support his upper body with his arms, and then slammed his feet up and down to attack Lawrence.

Lawrence noticed that two middle-finger-long blades popped out from the top of the killer's boots and slammed them towards his neck and chest. When he retreated and dodged, he smelled a faint stench from the blades.

"Damn, how much this guy likes to use poison." Lawrence thought about wiping his left hand from the space pocket at his waist and pulled out a crowbar, then swung the crowbar to block the slender man who was stabbing at him after the opponent jumped up. sword.

Because of the previous training and the effects of the talents he had acquired, Lawrence used the crowbar to block several rounds of attacks from the opponent. But because he was not very good at this aspect, he was forced by this killer's stabbing like a storm to back up again and again, and at the same time kept dodging and blocking.

Seeing Lawrence dodging in distress, the killer looked more and more excited. Especially when Lawrence was dodging in embarrassment because of his attack, the killer was full of desire to attack.

"Boom!" Lawrence, who was fighting and retreating, staggered as if he tripped over something under his feet, and seemed about to fall. The assassin's eyes lit up when he saw this, and then he took a step forward and slammed the rapier in his hand like a hammer to block the crowbar in Lawrence's hand, and then lunged and stabbed obliquely downward.

Lawrence, who fell to the ground and looked up to the sky, seemed helpless, staring blankly at the faint blue blade of the rapier that he stabbed down quickly. Watching this scene, the corner of the mouth of the killer who held the rapier in his right hand was slightly hooked. He felt that he was about to complete his goal and kill this tricky goal.

But at the moment when the blade was about to touch his body, Lawrence, who was lying on the ground, somehow shifted slightly to the side more than ten centimeters, so that the blade that was about to pierce his heart was inserted into the space under the armpit of his left arm. Hit it and clamp it firmly, then raised your fingertips and released [Missile Storm].

The assassin realized that something was wrong immediately after finding that his blade had missed the target, so he turned stabbing into wiping and tried to force Lawrence to let go of the arm that clamped his blade by creating a wound on Lawrence's body. Unfortunately for him, this less than a second of delay caused him to be directly covered in the force field ball shot by Lawrence [Missile Storm].

"Boom, boom—" Even though the assassin quickly dodged after seeing the flashing blue light on Lawrence's finger, the force field ball of the two magic missiles hit the torso of his body and exploded two fist-sized blood Hole. A large cloud of stinky blood sprayed out directly, staining Lawrence's windbreaker, which was lying on the ground, red.

In the battle just now, Lawrence could feel that the opponent should be an ordinary fighter with the same extraordinary level as himself, at most he had some specialties in agility and concealment. It does not have the strong defense or rapid regeneration ability of advanced fighters. Therefore, after receiving such heavy injuries to his torso, he immediately collapsed.

Seeing the half-blooded killer fall towards him, Lawrence had to quickly roll to the side to avoid the fallen guy. When he stood up alertly, he found the killer lying on the ground motionless.

【Magic Missile】Looking at the killer who fell to the ground and stopped breathing, Lawrence didn't step forward to check the corpse as usual, but directly formed a stance ball on his fingertips and hit the killer's head.

The killer, who had pretended to be dead and planned to sneak attack on Lawrence who came up to check, found that it was too late when Lawrence was not approaching as he expected. He just raised his head to prepare for the next move when he saw a light blue force field ball flying When you get there, you don't know anything.

"It should be fine now." After Bai Ze Xuying pulled out a mass of soul from the killer's body and purified it, Lawrence let out a long sigh of relief. It was indeed deceptive when the killer held his breath and prepared to ambush just now, but Lawrence judged the life and death of the enemy based on whether the phantom of Bai Ze had absorbed the soul. As a result, this point made the killer fail in the ambush and went straight to the street.

Lawrence walked forward with a crowbar in hand, ready to rummage through the bodies of the dead to determine something. However, before he could do anything, he suddenly received an urgent notification from Nora in his soul: "My lord brother, come back quickly. Sister Safir and I were attacked just now."

"How are you doing?" After hearing this notification, Lawrence didn't bother to check the scene of the crime. He threw the blood-stained windbreaker on the ground and quickly rushed to the place where he entered the park just now. At the same time, I asked Nora on the road. "Is anyone injured, you or Safiel?"

"No one was injured." Nora said, "The other party drove the carriage directly from behind, then jumped out of the car and tried to capture Safir with a tranquilizer. But they don't seem to know that Sister Safir is a Extraordinary, let alone my identity. So we have now forced the carriage to a stop and killed the three persevering assailants."

Soon Lawrence arrived at the side of the road where he set off just now, only to find that the person who was supposed to be waiting here was gone. Fortunately, Nora had already seen him at this time, so under Nora's guidance, Lawrence walked forward for more than 20 meters and found a carriage leaning against the roadside.

As soon as he got closer to the carriage, Lawrence smelled a very faint smell of rust. And after Saifeier opened the car door from the inside, a strong smell of blood hit his face.

"Are you okay just now? Why is there so much blood on your body!" As soon as the door opened, Safiel and Nora jumped out and stood beside Lawrence, checking him seriously. The body, especially the blood-stained part on the chest of the shirt, was checked over and over by them.

"Don't worry, the killer's blood splashed on me during the battle just now, and I'm not injured." Looking at the two girls who were looking at him worriedly, Lawrence quickly comforted them, then stretched out his fingers body on the floor of the car. "Did you kill all three guys who tried to kidnap you?"

"It's mainly Nala's hand." Safiel said with a look of depression. "As soon as I drew the dagger, the fight was over. Nora almost cut off the heads of these three guys. In the end, I was only responsible for driving this carriage to the side of the road where it would not be noticed."

Through the sunlight shining into the carriage through the carriage glass, Lawrence saw that the three guys on the floor of the carriage had a huge gash on their necks, and the blood was slowly flowing from the wound to the floor to form a puddle of blood. .

"One of these three people was driving the carriage, and the other two were sitting in the carriage and were preparing to ambush us. Perhaps because there was no one on the street at this time, they drove the carriage and stopped beside us. Then from there The first person driving the carriage was in charge of watching the wind, while the other two jumped out of the carriage directly to catch Sister Safir."

After briefly describing what happened just now, Nora paused, and then said to Lawrence seriously: "And I checked just now and found that these three people are the three who almost got up on the same station as us when we took the airship. People who are late. I think the three of them were the ones who saw you on the airship."
