Chapter 879: Four-on-One and Still on the Defensive
Crack!!
Ling Zhan calmly chambered another round in the sniper rifle. From start to finish, even when facing four top-tier special ops members, his expression remained utterly indifferent.
He was composed to the extreme.
Anyone else facing these four elite members would at least show some solemnity, if not outright panic.
At this moment—
Seeing Alchi charge forward, Ling Zhan still didn't put away his sniper rifle, nor did he switch to a close-combat weapon.
In the blink of an eye—
Alchi's agile figure had already lunged right in front of Ling Zhan.
Just as everyone thought Ling Zhan was about to be pummeled by the War Goddess's fists—
Buzz!!
A spatial rift suddenly appeared out of thin air and swallowed Ling Zhan whole.
'Space Domination'!
SS-rank innate talent!
This talent's effects were now on full display!
As a system-generated exclusive talent, its power was undoubtedly formidable!
Even though Ling Zhan wasn't a Space Mage, he could travel and teleport like one.
Alchi could only watch helplessly as her prey slipped away with extreme agility!
Bang!!
Even though she smashed her fist down and shattered the surrounding space, she still couldn't pull that figure out of the broken rift!
The enemy was like a loach in water—slippery and fast—completely impossible to catch!
"Elbert! Watch out!"
Right at that moment—
Another unexpected turn.
While dodging bullets at high speed, David issued a timely warning.
"Damn! Is that even possible!?"
Spectators were utterly stunned!
Because the moment Ling Zhan emerged from the space warp—
The barrel of his rifle suddenly protruded from the space behind Elbert!
Like a ghost, silent and eerie!
Bang!!
The trigger was pulled again!
Fortunately, the captain's warning gave Elbert time to react—he turned and cast an SS-rank instant spell!
Boom!!
The bullet and spell collided, and at such close range, the resulting shockwave was terrifying!
Elbert's pre-cast magical shield allowed him to withstand the aftermath of the clash.
But amid the smoke and flames, the non-specialist's figure vanished again!
This once again stirred a trace of panic within Elbert.
At present, the most relaxed one was Priest Jana, protected by layers of Blood Spirit magic arrays.
She looked up at her captain blinking and teleporting through the air while continuing to cast buffs on her teammates.
Even with buffs in place—
The unpredictable non-specialist still posed a tricky and threatening problem.
"Damn!! This non-specialist is like a ghost!"
"David probably wants to complain: who's the assassin here, you or me?"
"Why is David still dodging those two bullets? Shouldn't he just take them head-on?"
Indeed, that's what puzzled many spectators.
If David could hear their thoughts—
He'd probably spit blood!
Take those two terrifying bullets head-on?
You try it!
Try it and die!
David knew damn well he couldn't afford to get hit!
General Li Xuerou, however, had seen through the details. Compared to the younger, less experienced local troops, her insights were sharper.
Those two bullets likely carried some highly unusual causality-type effects.
Of course…
That alone wouldn't be enough to send a level 195 assassin fleeing.
They probably carried even more dangerous effects.
But what exactly? Only if David gets hit will they find out.
What's truly amazing is that a non-specialist over level 160 could unleash something a level 195 assassin doesn't dare to block.
"General Li, looks like that team's being toyed with by that guy..."
Her adjutant couldn't help but comment.
Li Xuerou sighed softly.
By now, the outcome was clear.
These four top-tier squad members—while currently in a mess—were each peerless warriors on the battlefield.
Take Dragon God Jonathan, for instance. He once soloed a Demon Sovereign. Though he returned severely wounded and nearly dead, he held out for five minutes to buy his team time.
To stand five minutes alone against a Demon Sovereign with no support—that's a feat.
War Goddess Alchi had also fought a Demon Sovereign and escaped intact thanks to her innate talent.
David, the captain, was even more unbelievable.
After his teammates dismantled the enemy's defense system, he infiltrated Nemoris Fortress solo and destroyed three demon energy cores—then made it back alive.
Even the Demon Sovereign returning for emergency defense didn't catch sight of him.
It's no wonder this squad is so revered at Mohr Fortress.
And yet—
Now they were being toyed with by a single non-specialist.
This non-specialist had only used a sniper rifle.
Using spatial teleportation to stay completely untouchable.
As a result—
Ling Zhan held the initiative, while David and the others were pushed onto the defensive.
Four against one—
And still on the defensive.
And Ling Zhan hadn't even used his trump cards yet.
Was the gap really that big?
Li Xuerou sighed softly.
"Damn it..."
"If only Jonathan were here, he could use his aggro skill to lock that non-specialist down!"
Alchi gritted her teeth.
Warrior classes always have taunt-type skills that force aggro from enemies.
In raids, they redirect bosses away from supports or carries.
In PvP, they can make enemies irrationally obsessed with killing them.
Now that the opponent had gone into void space, they had no way to reach him.
"Captain, should we now..."
Elbert was just about to ask—
Bang!!
The nightmare-like sniper shot rang out again out of nowhere!
Everyone except Alchi instantly tensed up!
"Huh? Where's the bullet?"
But no one could detect its presence or trajectory.
"Ah!!"
"Screw this! I'm smashing all the space in this area!"
"Let's see where the hell you'll hide now!"
Alchi finally lost it.
