Chapter 888: Resentment
Inside an abandoned warehouse.
It was quite dark and there was a faint musty smell in the air.
*Click*
The flame from a metal lighter broke the darkness, illuminating the boy's face.
After lighting a cigarette, the smell of tobacco gradually began to fill the warehouse.
— Style, smoking is bad for your health. Take care of yourself. You're still young, " the girl's voice rang out.
— I'll probably die in battle before I die of lung cancer, " Stile replied and grinned. He lit a cigarette so that the smell of blood wouldn't be so obvious, and to calm his heart, which felt like it was being stabbed.
He vaguely felt that something was going wrong, not because of his enemies, but because of those who had seemingly been on his side all along.
The guy and the girl in the warehouse didn't talk again after that, which caused a dead silence.
*Shhh*
Hearing a strange sound, Stile snapped his fingers, and a fireball immediately appeared in front of him.
This was Stale's ability. He was skilled in fire magic, and with the help of runes, he could create truly powerful fire-type spells.
The mages in this world were different from the mages from other worlds. Most magicians in this world used mana as the foundation and runes as the binding element.
Basically, it was with the help of runes that mages could create powerful spells, and as such they were not associated with any element. It was the runes that were responsible for communication with the elements. This allowed them to save mana and energy for casting spells, but if they suddenly lost their runes for some reason, they would mostly become useless.
Of course, they could continue to create powerful spells, but they would have to draw special circles each time.
Each choice had its own advantages and disadvantages. Mages who controlled everything by themselves were good at almost any battle, while mages with runes mostly performed very well when holding the right position.
A fireball lit up the warehouse. This warehouse was about 300 square meters in size. Several wooden crates were piled up inside the huge room.
A girl was sitting on a wooden box in the corner. Most of her body was hidden in the darkness. Right now, the only thing that could be seen was her two hands, which were covered in calluses.
Almost immediately, Stile noticed the creature that had previously made a strange sound. It was a white snake. The snake's scales were white and looked very lifelike, but Stile had the feeling that it wasn't a living thing.
— Where did she come from, " Stile muttered, frowning. This snake looked very strange.
— It looks like it was created using alchemy, and its aura hints at that very strongly, " the girl said.
— That's not good.
— We have guests.
As soon as they said this almost simultaneously, a sharp gust of air enveloped their bodies.
*Boom*
A blinding light suddenly flashed in an abandoned warehouse, and a dull explosion shocked the young lawbreakers in the colony nearby.
The iron doors of the warehouse were dented into the street, as if they had been hit by a battering ram.
*Boom-boom*
There were suddenly ball-sized holes in the warehouse wall.
Bullets from the heavy sniper rifle began to pierce through the walls one after another.
Ten seconds later, a third of the wall was destroyed. Half a kilometer from the warehouse, Yegor pulled out a magazine from his sniper rifle. He was lying on the roof of an abandoned research institute. His body, along with the sniper rifle, was covered with two layers of green and gray cloth.
From a bird's eye view, Yegor almost completely merged with the cement roof.
After pulling out one magazine, he immediately picked up the spare magazine next to his hand and pressed the button at the top of the magazine with his thumb.
Before charging a new magazine, he always checked to see if it was full.
Skilfully inserting a new magazine, Yegor impassively pulled the bolt of the sniper rifle. With the exception of necessary situations during missions, Yegor usually did not talk to anyone, but this did not bother him at all — he could not talk for a whole month, while remaining a mentally healthy person.
After taking aim, he pressed a special button, and the electromagnetic pulse slowly began to fill his rifle with wild power.
The next bullet, already armor-piercing, will be fired only after 830 seconds.
Other than killing the enemy there were no other unnecessary thoughts in his mind right now.
The blue-white light flickered inside the warehouse for about two seconds before dissipating.
Su Xiao, who had been watching the warehouse all this time, nodded.
Yegor was much more useful than he thought.
— Let's deal with the guy first. After saying that, Su Xiao entered the warehouse.
— Of course, " Awaki Musujime replied with obvious alacrity.
If she was on a different assignment, she wouldn't be so active. In fact, she usually didn't really listen to orders very much.
Su Xiao thought it was normal. He had known Awaki Musujime for less than 48 hours. Moreover, she was Alistair's person and didn't have to follow his orders, plus his charisma didn't allow him to win other people over to his side, so he wouldn't be surprised if she chose not to follow his orders this time.
But this case was an exception. Right now, Awaki Musujime was following his orders without question. The explanation for this submissiveness was very simple — Stile had attacked her last night and almost fried her to a crisp. When she woke up in the hospital, she looked more like a mummy, and no one told her how bad it was.
When there was no one in the room, she cried. Every girl always took care of her appearance. Her thoughts about her breasts were just thoughts, and she would never have been able to take such a step, but thankfully, thanks to the Divine Surgeon's efforts, there wasn't even a trace of those terrible burns left on her skin.
Su Xiao entered the warehouse. As soon as he was inside, heat washed over him.
Sunlight filtered in through holes in the wall of the warehouse.
The walls, floor, and ceiling of the warehouse were covered with fire attribute runes.
— Kill them, Witch Hunter King, " Stile said. The black robe he was wearing was torn to shreds due to the explosion, and a piece of wooden board was stuck in his stomach.
*Ar-r-r*
A flaming figure over four meters tall roared. It was the "Witch Hunter King", a fire monster that exuded an enormous temperature.
Su Xiao jumped back, but the fire monster immediately jumped towards him.
Heat immediately enveloped Su Xiao's body.
Steel threw out the runes and they immediately started to light up, causing the oxygen within a ten-meter radius of Su Xiao to ignite, and the resulting flame quickly turned from red to blue.
After coming together, one huge blue ball flew towards Su Xiao.
His body was immediately surrounded by a barrier, however, its surface began to rapidly turn red.
After flying back, Su Xiao immediately removed the barrier and took a deep breath.
After landing, a dragon Flash appeared in Su Xiao's left hand, and Qing Gang Yin's energy immediately enveloped her blade.
— Plan B! " shouted Su Xiao.
— Got it, " Awaki Musujime replied, and turned on her military flashlight.
Since it was daytime, her flashlight was emitting a red light.
A red spot the size of a grain of rice appeared on Stile's chest, but Stile didn't notice it. He controlled the fire monster and attacked Su Xiao with spells.
The witch Hunter King was one of his strongest abilities. This monster had a temperature of under 3,000 degrees and was moving too fast for its size.
Awaki Musujime also stared at the spot on Steel's chest.
Her spatial abilities needed a precise reference point to activate more accurately, and because of the heat-warped air, she couldn't easily teleport Stale anywhere, so she had to resort to using her fanaric.
