Trapp didn't waste any time after killing the first guard. He immediately moved to the next person closest to him after dropping the guard silently on the ground.
With swift strikes, Trapp quickly dispatched the second and moved on to the third. Just like that, Trapp had already killed five guards before he was eventually discovered.
As soon as Trapp was discovered, the guard who discovered him quickly shouted at the top of his lungs to warn his companions.
"Look out, there's somebody here..."
The guard had not finished warning his companions where Trapp's dagger pierced through his throat and cut off his words. But the damage had already been done. The other guards immediately turned to him and spotted Trapp. seeing their comrade falling as his throat was stabbed with a dagger, the eyes of the guards turned red and they immediately turned their attacks on Trapp.
With his position being exposed, Trapp no longer held back, and he immediately went in
With Trapp joining the battle, the situation that was originally going badly for the invaders suddenly got turned around on its head and the invaders started getting the upper hand.After Trapp messed up the formation of the reinforcements and the two squads joined him in completely breaking it apart, they were able to take down countless guards in the reinforcements in a short time. Seeing that the situation on this side had stabled, Trapp did not continue attacking. Instead, he shot towards the other side of the battle where the assassin was in a confrontation with the elite guards of the control room.Trapp was aware that this was the most critical part of this battle and whether the invaders would be able to fight against the defenders depended on if the assassin was able to hold on and not be defeated. But clearly, the assassin was not in the best shape and it was unknown how long she would be able to hold on. Unless she took some risk and used some of her trump c
As soon as the last elite guard fell, the battle on Trapp's and the assassin's side came to an end. There was only one on the side of the two squads that were left, but it might take some time before the two squads finished all the guards in the reinforcements off. For a short time after that, the invading side would have some time to rest, as it was unlikely that any more reinforcements would appear in a short time.Trapp and the assassin did not go over to help the two squads deal with the remaining reinforcements. instead, after killing all the elite guards, the two of them faced off against each other in confrontation.The assassin had yet to dismiss her giant apparition, and she was covered in it like a mighty general as she faced Trapp.The assassin was very wary of Trapp because he had appeared very mysteriously and suddenly without her sensing anything at all. She was already surprised when she saw the first squad suddenly appear during her battle with t
The assassin's expression changed when she heard Trapp's words. Immediately, she asked him, "How did you know about the scout who was sent to supervise me?""Who are you really?"The assassin's countenance quickly changed, and her hostility towards Trapp increased. she didn't believe what Trapp said about having another mission because if he did, then how did he know about the scout at all?"Oh, oh," Trapp face palmed, having realized that he just shot himself in the foot by mentioning the scout. He forgot that he wasn't supposed to know about him since he just said that he was on another mission. Now that he had said this, he could only come clean and admit to following them all this time."Calm down, lady. You shouldn't be so quick to take action. As I said, I am Trapp, and I wasn't lying when I said I was here on another mission.""You see that first squad?" Trapp pointed at the squads that were already wrapping up their fight with the reinforce
"I don't dare!" Trapp answered unhesitantly."Um," the assassin was dumbfounded at his reply. She didn't expect him to be so straightforward.Immediately, her mood worsened, and she felt like Trapp was making a fool out of her."Are you seriously playing with me right now? Do you call yourself a man when you don't even dare to reveal your true identity?""Humph, I can't believe you're such a spineless coward!"The assassin was uncharacteristically pissed. It was very much unlike her to talk so much like this to somebody, but right now; she was very annoyed and pissed and needed somebody to vent her frustrations on. Who better than the cause of all the troubles would she vent them on?Trapp was not offended by the assassin's words. Instead of being pissed, he actually laughed out loud as he said."Haha, I don't mind being called a spineless coward. In any case, if it makes you happy, you're free to call me whatever you want. But don't
Trapp slowly made his way towards the first squad. There was an odd smile on his face and his body was very relaxed as his hands were tucked inside the pockets of his pants. With the way he was, Trapp didn't look like he was going to meet his enemies. Instead, he looked more like he was going to meet his friends whom he was just seeing after a long separation.Unfortunately, the first squad didn't react in a similar manner, but as Trapp slowly approached them, it was like they were facing a great enemy. All their bodies were tensed up, and they gripped their weapons tightly, as if in anticipation of a fight.The leader of the second squad was just thanking the leader of the first squad for coming to their rescue and he was also interested in knowing how they had ended up on the base and what they were doing here. But then he noticed the tension in the air.Looking between Trapp and the members of the first squad, the leader of the second squad quickly asked, "Br
Trapp had suddenly appeared in the middle of the squad's formation and was holding a dagger to Max's neck. This scene successfully shocked the squad members who were surrounding max in the middle, causing them to undergo a huge amount of psychological pressure.One of the members could not withstand this pressure, so when he saw Trapp suddenly appearing close to him, he immediately panicked and launched an attack at him in a crazed manner."What the fuck!"Without thinking at all, that squad member condensed a small fireball hurriedly and shot it at Trapp. the power in that fireball was not strong as the squad members had only condensed it in a panic. It wouldn't have been a threat to Trapp, as he could easily avoid it. But the thing is that the squad member had fired off his attack in the middle of the whole squad. If it exploded and hit somebody else, it would cause a huge problem for them.Fortunately, the squad leader was able to react in time. He qui
"What else do you have to say?" Trapp asked calmly.The leader of the first squad was already feeling flustered as he didn't know how to deal with Trapp. he didn't want to offend him and he naturally didn't want to see Max getting killed.The leader's mind was rapidly churning with different thoughts as he struggled to come up with a way to handle this situation that would satisfy both parties.Trapp looked at the leader closely. He could clearly see that he was struggling and a part of him felt pity for the leader. But no matter what, even if the leader came up with a very convincing argument or an irresistible offer, Trapp was determined to kill Max.Trapp was insistent on killing Max because he wasn't the type of person who could stand being provoked one-sidedly. Trapp was an arrogant man, and he could be petty and shallow at times. But no matter what, he couldn't let a person that had schemed to harm him go away scot free. It just wasn't the kind of p
Without a word, Trapp left the first squad and returned to the assassin's side, leaving the squad members in a depressed state. Every one of them could not speak as they looked at Trapp's back, hatred clearly visible in their eyes.Watching Trapp swagger away from the very relaxed, the malice buried deep in the hearts of the squad members seemed to slowly rise to the surface and a virtual storm of dark clouds seemed to hang above their heads. These clouds were formed of dense negative emotions that threatened to swallow the squad members and plunge them down into an abyss, where they would lose all inhibitions and attack Trapp regardless of any consequence.Throughout, Trapp did not turn around and he continued to expose his back to the squad members as if taunting them to attack him.Trapp's uncaring attitude was filled with total disregard for the squad members whose emotions were reaching a tipping point and he seemed to be blatantly daring them to attack him
Right now, Constantine was in a very mysterious state. His body was covered in lightning, and a thick pillar of lightning surged from his body and shot into the sky, looking like it wanted to sunder the heavens apart. A lightning storm was being brewed with Constantine at the center and powerful electromagnetic forces clashed with the might of the sandstorm that was formed with the combined strength of multiple dooms.Right now, Constantine really resembled those anime characters that were undergoing a power-up, and in a sense, that was exactly what Constantine was doing.Constantine was currently in a state where he was digging deep within himself in an attempt to tap into the full potential of his powers to go beyond the limit of what he was currently capable of.In other words, Constantine was trying to call onto his future powers, which he did not currently possess, in order to go beyond the limit of his current strength.This is basically what a power-up is all about. The act of
There was a short hallway from the door leading into the control room that Trapp and the others had to pass through. It didn't take long before the group was at the end of the hallway. As soon as he reached the end, Trapp stopped, and the others followed soon after. Nobody knew what was waiting for them on the other side of the hallway, so they tried to prepare themselves for the worst. Trapp exchanged looks with the assassin and he could see the serious expression on her face as her eyes went sharp with focus. Turning around, Trapp saw various signs of seriousness and focus on the faces of the others from the two squads as they prepared themselves for what would likely be an uphill battle. Wasting no time, Trapp nodded his head at the assassin, who blinked and nodded back at him. 'It is time!' This was what Trapp was trying to convey to the assassin, and she naturally understood him. Without saying anything else, both of them rapidly shot forward with a blast and crossed the thres
Trapp, along with the assassin, Phantom Trace, and the other two squads, were standing in front of the doorway leading to the control room. All of them were already well rested and had recovered a significant portion of their strength. Even the ones that were injured the most, the second squad, had managed to recover 50% of their combat power so they wouldn't be a hindrance in the next step of the plan.As everybody looked ahead, various thoughts went through each of their heads and no one took the initiative to step forward first. Finally, Trapp was the first to move. He took a few steps forward and then stopped before turning around to look at the rest.Looking each of them one by one in the eye, Trapp finally spoke up and said, "Alright then, we've already come to this point and you're all well rested. I understand that all of you have your own objective so I am not asking that we cooperate together. Just remember the plan we made and stick to them. As long as nobody tries any funn
There was a brief moment of silence between Trapp and the assassin, Phantom Trace. Eventually, the assassin gritted her teeth and said to Trapp."Alright, fine, I will bite!"The assassin stared at Trapp resentfully as she said, "You really give a compelling argument, I will admit. I, too, cannot stand the thought of being used. If it is as you said, the Avalon family is just playing me, then I have to know the truth. Even if what you said is not true, it won't affect me in any way if I investigate. In any case, I have to enter the control room in order to complete my mission so it won't conflict with anything if I investigate with you.""That's good," Trapp responded in delight. He was fairly certain that he would be able to convince the assassin to join his cause and, as he expected, she really decided to follow him. Trapp was very happy with this outcome.Suddenly, the assassin looked at Trapp seriously and said, "Don't be too happy yet. I am not done speaking.""Go on," Trapp urge
The assassin, Phantom Trace, quickly shook herself mentally and removed the stray thoughts from her mind. Although she didn't know what had suddenly come over her that caused her to detect such an irrelevant detail, she was not willing to dwell on that matter anymore, so she focused on more important matters that were currently on hand.Looking at Trapp, the assassin directly said, "I admit that, based on what you said, things are a bit strange. In that case, what do you think is happening here?""Why did the Avalon family gather all of us here, and what could their true objective possibly be?"Since the assassin could not figure it out on her own, she felt it was better to directly ask Trapp and hear what his thoughts on the matter were.Trapp did not waste any time as he quickly answered, "Believe it or not, I think all of us here, that includes me, you, and those two squads are merely decoys and the scout is the one who was assigned with the mission to
The assassin, Phantom Trace, was frowning very hard. Her brows were deeply furrowed, and her expression was slightly unnatural. Listening to Trapp's analysis, she could not help the feeling of shock and surprise that overwhelmed her.Trapp's analysis was spot on and accurate to a fault. Just like he said, the second mission had greater priority over the first. As long as she completed it and retrieved the item that she was told to, she would still get paid regardless of his, she completed the assassination mission or not.This was a clause that had been added to the contract that she signed when she came under the employ of the Avalon family.Although assassins like her and Trapp mostly worked in the shady and gray area of society, there was still a need to keep accounts clear in case of any problems during the course of a mission. For example, signing contracts had now become necessary in order to prevent either party from breaching the terms of the contract. I
"What is that supposed to mean?" the assassin looked at Trapp suspiciously as she asked that question."What exactly are you insinuating?"The assassin could not understand what Trapp meant by his question. It was he was insinuating that he wasn't the cause of her recent failure up until now.Trapp's question made this whole mission seem like a conspiracy. To the assassin, Phantom Trace, Trapp was just mystifying things in order to shirk responsibility and avoid blame. She wasn't going to fall for his schemes."If you think for one second that I am going to let you off just because you want to sound profound when you are not, you've got another thing coming, mister!"Witnessing the assassin's reaction, Trapp rolled his eyes at her. Then he shook his head as he said to her."Alright calm down and stop being overly dramatic. Will you at least let me finish what I was going to say.?""Sheesh, women! Even if you are powerful and capable,
"So you are the famous ending maker... the rookie who has been making a lot of waves recently in our circle?" the assassin, Phantom Trace, said to Trapp after learning his identity. Naturally, the identity that Trapp revealed to her was his assassin monicker and not his real identity.Phantom Trace looked Trapp over from head to toe before she continued speaking, "I hear you currently have a 1000% mission completion rate and that all your targets have been successfully assassinated since you began your debut. nice track record... it's almost as impressive as mine. Your codename is a little tacky, I would say, but apart from that, you're definitely promising."The assassin, Phantom Trace, evaluated Trapp as she observed him, stating his past record since he became an assassin. From her words, it seemed like she was praising Trapp, but if one listened carefully to what she said, one would know that there was a hidden meaning underlying her every word.Although the
None of the squad members doubted Trapp's ability to defeat and kill them. They were able to feel a suppressive pressure from him that made them weak and unwilling to face him. This kind of pressure was something that people naturally exerted over those who were weaker than them.It was a subconscious fear that was exerted over other people who were weaker than oneself, forcing them to be unwilling to face you in combat. If a person could exert this kind of fear and pressure over another person, then when fighting that person, it would feel like their hands and feet were shackled by an invisible force and they wouldn't be able to display their full power in combat.There were a lot of factors that could lead to another person being able to have suppressive pressure over their opponents and it wasn't a hard fact simply based on if you were stronger than the other person or not. Things like confidence, will, and courage could also cause people to suppress others.
