Stephen now had the sergeant in his front so the other two cops behind couldn't shoot him. If they did they would end up shooting the sergeant and killing him. So in order not to shoot the sergeant they didn't even attempt to shoot at Stephen although their guns were aimed at him.The police chief, seeing that Stephen now had his back to him, saw a very big chance. I knew he was going to attack Stephen secretly from his sinister expression. I would have lent a hand but I was now locked within the cell with no way of coming out. When Stephen had asked the cops to release me, none of them had done so. So I was still stuck in the cell, waiting for Stephen who was now fighting with the cops to release me.Many people would think I'm doing something stupid but I was not. Stephen had already installed cameras in this place and they were recording everything. Definitely, he was also doing a live streaming in order to prove that I was innocent of the allegations leveled against me. He wanted
After the gunshot rang out and the sergeant fell to the ground amidst a loud groan, the other two cops shot their guns immediately. Obviously, they couldn't wait to get rid of us immediately. To them, we had grown to be pests which can be discarded at any point in time. Little did they know that what they were thinking was totally implausible.For players like me and Stephen, our physical condition had become so much enhanced that dodging bullets had become as easy as drinking water. Our strength was no longer normal as we could easily lift an adult male with one hand and toss them far away. For people like us, the cops were the real disposable pests. They were very weak and didn't even hold a candle to us.When they shot the gun I'd already shoved the police chief sideways while falling in that direction myself. Stephen had already fallen to the ground, reacting way faster than I did. Since he was the closest to the cops who had shot at us just now, I'd thought that he would be hit.
Once the police chief was knocked out Stephen mouthed some words, "Destroy the cameras."I nodded slowly and then turned around, saying, "When are we leaving?""Now," he said and ran straight towards the door. I immediately followed him as I activated the Explosion skill. This is currently the best skill I have in destruction.I would have used the Shadow skill to silently remove the cameras but I didn't know where all the cameras were installed. Stephen would have told me but time was not on our side. We needed to get things done!Boom!There was a very big expression which sent flames billowing towards us like powerful waves capable of sweeping us through."Come on!" Stephen yelled as he continued running towards the door. He leaped into the air, thrust out his right foot, and kicked at the door with all his might.Bang!The door came off its hinges crashing to the ground. There was another long corridor with several cells filled with criminals."We need to get out of this place!" S
The Mercenary player held his large gun as he stared intently at Stephen, his body remaining in that position for a very long period of time. At this point of time I didn't hesitate any longer. My Resurrection skill immediately took effect and my body began solidifying rapidly in front of Stephen who seemed to be calculating how to attack the newcomer. Obviously, he had never come across the Mercenary player before and this was his first day.Unlike me, Stephen had no idea about this player who had the Commanding skill and Intangibility skill. Only I knew how hard it would be to deal with this man."Long time no see, Enigmatic player," the Mercenary player said with a grim voice. His eyes glared at us as if he was watching his prey."I thought we parted on good terms back then," I said to him, my fists clenching slowly. "Why are you attacking us now?"The Mercenary player tapped his metallic gun slowly, his muscles bulging under the weight. On closer realization I remembered that this
With those words, Stephen shot off the ground toward the Mercenary player, his right arm moving backward to swing his sword at the Mercenary player."The skill I displayed earlier is called the Confinement skill," the Mercenary player said casually as he blocked the sword with his bulky gun before throwing a powerful kick at Stephen's right leg. The latter was immediately sent down on one of his knees, his expression turning into a grimace.The man then kicked him in the torso, sending him flying into the air towards me. Stephen crashed to the ground with his back but bounced right up, pinning his sword to the ground."That skill allows me to lock a particular target or group of targets within another space," the man said. "In other words, no one is gonna find us until I kill you!"With those words, he charged at Stephen and fired the gun again. My eyes narrowed as I immediately leaped into the air to get Stephen from harm's way. But before I could get close, a large shield had alread
I wanted to clench my fists when I realized that my right hand had suddenly lost its strength. When I looked at it I realized that it had become shriveled as if there was no blood in it. I couldn't help but narrow my eyes, knowing fully well that this was the curse the Mercenary player had touched me with."My Cursed skill isn't something a random Healing skill can immediately remove," the Mercenary player said. "You'd have to take two days before you can eventually heal from that."As he made that statement he clenched his fists, "And I don't think you have that much time!"He shot towards me like a spear, aiming for my head with a very powerful punch. Once hit by his fist, I knew that my head would immediately shatter."After killing you I'll make sure to sever off your head immediately!" the man said as he soared through the air towards me. "That's one of the methods that can be used to effectively kill you!"That's one of the methods that can be used to effectively kill me? I coul
Seeing that Golden Buddha had escaped I couldn't help but collapse to the ground in exhaustion. I hadn't expected the seemingly young man from the virtual reality to be the ex-soldier. I had been fooled by my own teammate and would have been even killed at this point.I looked up in the direction where he had escaped and touched my right arm with my left hand. My arm seemed to have become numb and there was this pulsing sensation. I couldn't help but grimace as I stared at Stephen who had banished the door and was staring at me."You seem to know that guy," Stephen said as he scrutinized me with his cold eyes. "The way he looked at you after he saw you take that strange sword...""Retribution," I corrected him. "It's a demigod weapon with its consciousness. It wouldn't be like it if you kept calling it a strange sword."Stephen didn't appear surprised that I had a demigod weapon. His face was as expressionless as ever as he sized me up. He then said in a flat tone, "I have a demigod w
I was taken out of the debris which was once part of the police headquarters. There were several reporters ready to interview me but I was very tired to answer any of their questions. I was assaulted with so much tiredness that I felt like passing out any moment from now. It wasn't a pleasant experience."Sir, do you mind telling us how you cleared your name?""Why do you have a beef with the Wade family? Wouldn't it be nice working with them?""Sir, there was once a time you beat Dominic. What happened?"These questions rang through my ears but I was not in the condition to answer them. My body was burning as I was being led to a private jet. The cops surrounding me immediately blocked off the reporters, stopping their interviews.As I went into the private jet, the lawyer who had been hired to defend me said, "You don't have to worry about the Wade family anymore. The government knows of their plans."Before I had the chance of asking what the middle aged lawyer meant by what he sai
