The hidden scout finally revealed himself and he was making a beeline towards their leader, who was located at the head of the group of captives.
As it turns out, the psychic from before was actually bait, used to lure the captain away from the front of the group so that the scout could rescue their leader first. He had purposely revealed himself so that the captain would discover him.
This was easy enough to understand because if the psychic wanted to scheme with the scout without being discovered, he could have used telepathy to converse and the captain would have been none the wiser. Every psychic had the basic telepathy talent. this was not to say that every telepath could become psychic, but every psychic definitely new telepathy.
There was also a telepath present in Trapp's own team, but he was only responsible for bridging communication between all the members of the squad. He didn't show any other psychic abilities and probably wouldn't.
That was
The scout was sandwiched between the clones of the captain and he had no way of retreating. At the same time, the two clones clawed at the scout. One reached for the scout's head while the other aimed at his waist. Their goal was to subdue the scout as quickly as possible.The power in the clone's claws carried a menacing tearing force, and their strike was very vicious. If the scout was struck by the clone's attacks, he would be severely injured and, most likely, directly crippled.It seemed like this was the end for the scout and his rescue attempt had already failed. The attacks of the clones were about to land on him. But it was at this moment that the scout pulled off an almost impossible feat.Just as the claws of the clones were about to hit the scout, using very bizarre and strange footwork, the scout's presence seemed to waver and paused for a moment as he stood in place as he twisted his body in a very peculiar kind of way.The scout was in this
"This scout is definitely not an ordinary person..." Trapp thought to himself."No ordinary person is able to learn such powerful techniques... he is definitely from a powerful background!" Trapp concluded this.He was actually right. There was indeed no way an ordinary person without any background could ever learn such a powerful technique unless, of course, he got it by chance as an inheritance from somewhere in the universe.But then again, even if the scout learned this technique by chance, it would be very difficult to practice it because it would need to consume a lot of resources just to gain basic mastery of such a powerful technique. It was not something a lone commoner could learn on his own like that.As for why somebody with a powerful background would need to join a squad where the risk of death was very high like this... just like how Trapp's squad members suspected him to be the son of a bigshot in the Avalon family who was sent to the fro
Nobody was moving as the situation below Trapp came to a standstill. The only two people standing were the captain and the female captive who had just been released. The rest were still on the floor. As for the scout, he was holding his abdomen to staunch the bleeding in his stomach.In order to stop the scout, the captain had taken back the energy in the bodies of the other two clones dressed as guards and used it to quickly deliver a brutal blow to the scout.Trapp scanned through the people on the ground, paying more attention to the scout, the captain, and the woman who the scout had risked everything to free.Trapp was more curious about this woman than the rest. For the scout to take such a risk to free her and not their leader, it was clear she wasn't a simple person at all. She was most probably this squad's trump card that they relied on to get out of a sticky situation.Trapp first of all observed the scout know what his condition was like. From
The invaders were surrounded once again, and this time, all their members were present. The guards of the base aimed their weapons at the squad and especially at the only woman left standing. Slowly, the guards came closer and tightened the encirclement on the invaders. They didn't want to give them any chance to escape at all.Once again, the captain said to the woman that was standing, "Give up! There's no way you can get out of here alive. Just surrender now and let us take you in. If you do that, you will be regarded as prisoners of war and will receive the corresponding treatment befitting that status. If you refuse to comply, then we will have no choice but to attack you with extreme prejudice."The captain spoke clearly, and he calmly stated the benefits of surrender as well as the consequence of resistance. His eyes never left the woman, and he gave her a wary look as he quietly signaled his men to get ready to act at any moment.For some reason, this wo
The floor in the hall below Trapp was filled with blood and corpses. Apart from the captives, there was no one left alive, as they had all been instantly killed by the woman. None of the soldiers or even the captain had been able to resist at all before death had come to claim them.The captives had a terrified look on their faces as they watched the blood flow out of the soldier's throats and pool at their feet. They all looked at the woman responsible for this massacre in horror and trepidation.Their eyes didn't look like they were looking at a human and a comrade of theirs. Instead, it looked like they were seeing an unfamiliar monster. there was fear as well as a hint of awe at the woman's strength.From the very beginning, the woman's face remained blank. Not a single expression could be seen on her face as she cut down the lives of all these people. Those eyes of hers were cold and contained complete disregard for the lives she had just ended. It was as i
"What is this top assassin doing here?" Trapp wondered to himself.It was very suspicious that a top assassin for hire would appear on this small team that was sent to conduct dangerous missions for the Avalon family. It was very clear from the way the members of the team treated Phantom Trace that she was not a part of their original squad and was probably only just a temporary addition to the squad.The members of this squad treated her respectfully, and there was worship and awe in their eyes every time they looked at her. But at the same time, they were not close to her and even subconsciously avoided meeting her gaze. This showed that they were very afraid of her and didn't want to interact too much with the assassin.Out of all of them, the only person that had the best relationship with the assassin's phantom trace was the scout. He was the only one who approached her and could talk to her normally. But even for him, their relationship was very subtle. He
Trapp looked at the people gathered together below him with a strange expression on his face.'Are they talking about me?' he wondered.'Come to think about it, it does seem they were implicated after I started killing in the base... I had wanted to draw out the guards and their superior so I would be able to get out of here and move to the central area. But it seems I ended up fishing out something more instead."Trapp considered things for a moment and he felt he was directly responsible for this squad being discovered as they were carrying out their mission.. but he didn't really care about that...It was not like Trapp was going to go down and apologize to them now. Besides, by doing this, Trapp was able to discover something very interesting.Trapp looked at the squad members that were strategizing for a moment, but he quickly turned away as they weren't saying anything that interested him. Instead, Trapp's eyes followed the scout who was walk
Trapp watched as the scout, Ryder, made his way towards the assassin, phantom trace. His gaze was especially focused on his every movement as he tried to see if he would behave abnormally and make any hidden moves. But the scout's actions were normal and Trapp didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. When the scout was almost 3 meters away from the assassin, Trapp immediately withdrew his senses from him, not daring to pay too much attention to the scout lest he be discovered by the assassin. Every assassin had a powerful perception, and they could notice it when they were being spied on. It was naturally the same for a top assassin, like Phantom Trace. Trapp did not dare focus too much on Phantom Trace, and he only dared to listen to the movement of the wind if he wanted to capture any sound from their conversation. Also, he didn't dare to look at the assassin directly because that could trigger a reaction from her. if Trapp tried to stare at any part of
