Chapter 878: Quick Draw! Don't Let Him Keep Shooting!
Not just Elbert.
Even Alchi, who was charging directly at Ling Zhan, didn't expect the opponent's sniping speed to be so fast!
She didn't even see the action of him aiming or firing. From a slightly oblique angle, he had already pulled the trigger toward the distant Elbert.
The bullet's flight speed was too fast!
Just as Alchi tried to turn and intercept the bullet—
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three more tightly packed gunshots rang out in half a second!
Normally.
Sniper rifles are single-shot weapons, and after each shot, a strong recoil prevents the user from immediately firing a second or third shot in succession.
Even if one can stabilize the recoil, the weapon still requires time to reload.
But here…
Ling Zhan used a small trick.
Or rather, a minor skill.
'Quick Draw (SS)'!
A basic skill of the Gunslinger class!
Besides allowing the caster to fire quickly, this skill also refreshes the reload state of the firearm.
Three consecutive 'Quick Draws'!
Three reload refreshes allowed the sniper rifle to completely bypass recoil and downtime, firing three tightly packed shots within half a second!
"Damn it..."
At this moment.
Alchi, who originally planned to intercept the bullet fired at Elbert, had to abandon the thought and continue charging toward the non-specialist.
The three bullets that flew out of the muzzle weren't as fast as the first one, but they weren't easy to dodge either!
Especially since Alchi felt the tracking aura from those three bullets, making her realize that they carried homing properties!
And these homing effects had a high priority—comparable to causality-based skills!
There was no way to dodge!
Of course...
She didn't plan to dodge anyway!
"Hmph!!"
Alchi snorted coldly and didn't even bother making any defensive posture, letting the three bullets hit her chest freely!
Unsurprisingly...
The first bullet hit.
Since Alchi was a woman, the bullet aimed at her chest looked somewhat indecent.
But now that they were on the battlefield plains, this could be considered a real combat scenario.
On the battlefield, all are equal!
Here, you only need to do two things!
Stay alive!
And...
Defeat your enemies!
So-called values, morals, and sense of shame—throw them all away!
What was shocking was...
Clang!!
That sniper bullet, which could easily pierce through the defense of a level 180 powerhouse, didn't achieve the expected penetration effect when it hit Alchi's ample chest—instead, a crisp metallic clang rang out!
The bullet couldn't even break through Alchi's defense and was deflected away!
This is a level 190 tigerkin female War God with the 'Beast King' innate talent!
As the future queen of the tigerkin, her physical toughness was utterly ridiculous!
Immediately after—
Clang! Clang!!
The second and third sniper bullets were also completely deflected by Alchi's defense!
As for the bullet fired at Elbert...
It had already been silently intercepted.
Naturally, it was their captain, the Slaughter God David, who stepped in at the critical moment.
In others' eyes, the role of an assassin in a team is only to backstab and assassinate the rear.
But in fact, precisely because of the assassin's flexibility, they can roam the battlefield and seize opportunities, even intercepting fire for teammates.
Like this extremely abrupt bullet.
Even Elbert, a level 190+ Blood Spirit Archmage, couldn't react in time.
As previously mentioned—
This is a profession-transition world, not a cultivation world.
In cultivation worlds, whether you're Confucian or Daoist, swordsman or martial artist, if your realm is high enough, you're basically omnipotent—even able to sever unseen fate.
But in a profession-transition world fused with game mechanics, data and logic are extremely strict.
Even a 190+ Blood Spirit Archmage can't be as nimble as an assassin.
Because his main attribute is Intelligence!
Coincidentally...
Elbert's stat allocation is heavily skewed toward large-scale team battles.
So he only invests in Intelligence.
If he invested in Agility as a secondary stat, his damage would suffer greatly.
Anyone who's played games understands this—
Different classes require different stat builds based on different environments.
Elbert's build is considered extremely specialized.
In reality, most Mage-type classes will invest some points into Agility to ensure error tolerance and survivability.
As for how Ling Zhan knew Elbert wouldn't be able to dodge his bullet...
Don't forget—'Appraisal Eye (SS)' skill.
With this skill, he could see through all the stats, skills, and talents of the entire top-tier special ops team.
Even if the enemy had privacy settings enabled, it couldn't block Ling Zhan's information probing.
They probably never imagined that this seemingly un-upgradable basic skill could be enhanced to SS-rank in Ling Zhan's hands.
At this moment—
Elbert finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw his captain appear in time to intercept the bullet.
Although he believed taking one bullet wouldn't be fatal, an unknown shot always inspires fear.
"Something's not right..."
And at that moment, David—who had intercepted the bullet with ease—suddenly spoke up.
Just as Elbert was about to ask what wasn't right...
Bang! Bang!
The non-specialist had already pulled the trigger again!
This time, the bullets weren't aimed at anyone else—but directly at David, the squad leader who had just come out of absolute stealth!
And what made David's heart skip a beat—
These two bullets were far more threatening than any previous ones!
Damn it!!
This non-specialist's real target was him, the team captain!?
And also...
What the hell did this guy attach to his bullets!?
Even as a level 195 powerhouse, he was getting goosebumps all over!
Whoosh!!
David didn't dare hesitate any longer. He immediately activated the skill 'Shadow Rush' and began rapid teleportation!
But the two bullets stuck to him like ghosts—even after going invisible and suppressing his aura, they still chased right behind him!
"Alchi! Get in there now! Don't let him keep firing!"
Like a man being chased by a rabid dog, David's voice grew frantic.
"Brat! Watch how this lady smashes your stupid gun!"
After being grazed by three bullets, Alchi had already gained a 30% full stat boost. She continued charging at the non-specialist, now less than thirty meters away!
