As the leader spoke to Nina, she suddenly snapped and said in a very curt tone of voice.
"Didn't I say you shouldn't disturb me? You're distracting me and I am not able to focus on my work!?"
The leader flinched a little when he heard Nina's harsh words and he hesitated a little. In the end, because the situation was really urgent, the leader had no choice but to say to her once again.
"I know what you said, but we really need to know when the door can be opened. The situation is very urgent right now, so if you are not confident about opening it soon, let me know. If that is the case, we can only give up and try another time when the situation has settled a little."
The leader spoke gently to Nina, trying to implore her to give an accurate timeline on when she would be able to crack the lock on the door.
In the end, probably knowing how urgent things were, Nina eventually calmed down and said to the leader.
"Fine, I have heard. I am almost
There were sounds coming from outside the room, and the leader and everybody else listened quietly in silence as they attempted to make out what the situation was like outside.Pata Pata!Clang! Clang!Boom!Bang!Outside, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard as multiple people ran all over the corridor. This was followed by the sound of fighting as weapons clashed against each other, causing small scape explosive sounds to echo in the corridor and through the rooms.The squad did not know what was happening outside exactly, but they knew the battle going on was very serious. It seemed like multiple people were fighting against each other. This was somehow different from the report sarge had made where he said a group of people was surrounding and attacking a single opponent.The leader turned to sarge and quietly whispered to him, "Hey Sarge, I thought you said a single person was being surrounded and attacked. Why, then, do
The assassin, Phantom Trace, was locked in fierce combat. She was being surrounded on all sides by more than twenty opponents, and she was having a difficult time dealing with them. They were very relentless, as they constantly attacked her with everything they had.Fortunately, although the corridor was large, it wasn't big enough to support more than twenty people fighting at the same time. Of the more than twenty opponents that besieged the assassin, phantom trace... only about ten of them could attack her at the same time. The other ten or so opponents stayed at the back to support the main attacks and prevent the assassin from slipping away.The assassin, Phantom Trace, was fully capable of dealing with more than ten opponents at the same time. Her phantom apparition ability was the perfect counter to human wave assaults and she could fight multiple at the same time. Fighting twenties was not a problem for her not to talk often. The only problem was that she could
The giant apparition that the assassin had materialized charged forward with her and with the shield placed in front of its chest, it was like a bull charging forward with powerful momentum. In an instant, the apparition collided with the pursuers in front. Anybody that came in contact with it was knocked flying back, spitting out a long trail of red blood that dyed the surrounding walls and floor red.By this time, some of the pursuers had already come to their senses, but it was already too late. They stared in shock and horror as their comrades were sent flying and spitting blood from a single blow.None of them ever expected the assassin to hold such a powerful card in her hands, and she had kept it hidden until now to deal a powerful blow to them."Damn it, we were too careless!" one of the pursuers gritted his teeth in anger as he complained."Quick... stop her! She is heading for the control room!"Immediately, this command was given. The re
This sudden burst of strength seemed to exert a great toll on the assassin because after she sent her pursuers flying, she also collapsed on the ground and spat a mouth full of blood. The giant apparition above her also seemed to become faint, as if it was about to disappear.It seemed like the assassin had fainted after losing her strength, but looking closely, one could actually see her breathing shallowly on the ground as she tried to catch her breath and gather strength back into her limbs.Although it might seem that the giant apparition was going to disappear completely, it still stay over the assassin, stubbornly protecting her from anything that may bring harm to her.The squad was watching everything that was going on outside, and they had caught a brief look at the assassin once before she was covered by the giant apparition. But they had not gotten a clear look at her as she was being surrounded by two pursuers then.The squad members saw how t
When Max said those last words, some of the squad members actually hesitated because it made sense. If Trapp was really the person who was fighting outside and he was so powerful, how could it be easy for Max to scheme against him and send him to another side of the base? It didn't make sense that such a powerful person would be able to trick like that. Some people were confused by this, but others didn't think much about it. They still looked at Max and were blaming him for the current problem. "Maybe he was fooled because he didn't expect you to meet a petty and foolish person like you," somebody said. "I mean, think about it. We have already been promised a lot of benefits to allow Trapp to join us in this mission. The benefits are even almost equal to the rewards we will get from this mission and all we have to do is let a single person join us and tolerate him for a while. If you were the one involved in this, you wouldn't expect to meet a person
With various worries in his heart, the leader decided to end this matter here quickly before it got out of hand."Listen, now is not the time to deal with this now. We can settle who is at fault later, but right now we need to make sure we aren't discovered and we can complete the mission without any problems developing. Do you hear me, all of you?"The leader shot a piercing glare at all the people that were causing trouble. His tone revoked any chance for disobedience and he exerted his authority as the leader to completely end this topic. None of the squad members dared to disobey the leader because he still held a lot of prestige among the squad members and they respected him very much. They simply lowered their heads and said nothing after that.Seeing as the matter had come to an end, the leader was pleased.Nodding his head, his expression became serious once more before he started addressing a more important issue."What are we going to do
Until the assassin's figure disappeared into the other side of the door, the squad members stared silently in disbelief. They were amazed at the tenacity that she showed as she trudged forward without stopping in pursuit of her goal.Even at the end, the squad members could still not confirm if it was Trapp or another person they were watching. But they were clear of one thing...Whoever it was, they were very formidable, and it wouldn't be good to have him as an enemy. This was the impression the assassin had left on the squad and it was embedded deep within them.Finally, after the assassin could no longer be seen, the leader eventually spoke to Nina again and asked, "What about the guards... how are they doing now?"Nina quickly stopped paying attention to the assassin when the leader asked this question. She was also looking for a clear angle to determine the state of the guards.The smoke and dust in the air were clearly steadily, so it didn't
Trapp was hiding in a corner and he didn't make any moves at all as he silently watched everything before him. When Trapp and the scout arrived, the assassin and her pursuers were already at the decisive moment of their battle. The assassin had just condensed the giant apparition and used it to critically injure a few of her pursuers after catching them off guard. As the assassin was being pursued, most of the guards and soldiers on the bases had been sent to deal with her. They were ordered to capture her if possible and if not; they were instructed to kill her. While she was being chased, the number of enemies she had to deal with was much more than the twenty or so pursuers that were on her tail at the end. Most of the people who had gone to intercept the assassin had been killed by her after underestimating her. Their bodies were left to grow cold on the ground as the assassin ran away. Nobody stopped to take care of them and they were completely ignored.
