The attack came very fast and left just as quickly.
Tracy Garcia, the would-be victim, turned around only to find the assailant had disappeared.
Liam Martinez and Alison, who had heard the commotion, quickly ran back from around the corner of the tunnel.
Seeing no one, their faces turned extremely solemn: “Escaped?”
An ambush only has one chance to work.
If an assassin were able to escape under such circumstances, it wouldn’t bode well for them.
Leonard Churchill’s eyes were cold and misty, he quietly said, “He’s injured He won’t get far.”
Upon hearing this, the three noticed the bloodstains on the ground, their eyes suddenly filled with hope.
Leonard caught a glimpse of a mark on the powdered soil on the ground, he shouted sharply, “Follow me!”
An assassin might be hard to track down, but he isn’t a bird, he still needs to walk!
The powdered minerals scattered on the ground had been prepared for such a time!
Upon hearing this, Liam and his group didn’t ask any questions, they just followed Leonard quickly towards the third level of the Mineshaft.
They were unsure how he had determined the enemy’s location, but they guessed that he had a plan up his sleeve.
They had just started moving when Leonard suddenly shouted, “The guy has broken a leg and can’t get far. Catch up quickly!”
His voice echoed through the tunnel.
Liam and his group were taken aback by Leonard’s shout. Shouldn’t they be quiet when they are chasing?
With that loud voice, weren’t you afraid that the enemy would know we are coming?
However, Leonard indeed wanted the enemy to know that they were being chased down!
Without being chased, how would the prey panic and fall into a trap?
Having just been wounded, the assassin was fearful as a frightened bird.
The tunnel was blocked, he could only run back to the third level, or else he would be cornered and find himself in a more dangerous situation.
But an experienced and cunning assassin would definitely think that there might be traps along the way.
So he absolutely should not be given too much time to think!
Under the scare, he would instinctively run faster.
It’s the same concept as driving the prey!
As soon as Leonard finished speaking, a Mysterious Thunder was suddenly triggered, immediately followed by a loud explosion on the nearby stairs.
The green light from the Demon-breaking Bomb lit up the entire Mineshaft. A disheveled figure failed to dodge in time and was caught in the explosion, thrown violently outwards.
Liam’s team were also startled by the sudden turn of events, with wide eyes and confused expressions. “A bomb?”
They had guessed Leonard might have a plan.
But they never expected it to be a bomb.
Isn’t this Alternate Dimension supposed to restrict technology equipment?
So what’s with this bomb?
Leonard did not elaborate, instead, he charged towards the flying figure.
Liam and Alison also sprung into action, following Leonard’s lead.
The effect of the bomb was apparently good, the assassin was thrown against the wall by the explosion, spitting out a mouthful of aged blood.
One of his femurs had been hit again, making him feel dizzy.
Before he could struggle further, Leonard’s team arrived on the scene.
Liam knocked the assassin against the wall, while Alison’s crossbow arrow was embedded directly in the assailant’s eye socket from a distance.
Without much resistance, the assassin dropped dead on the spot.
Leonard also heaved a sigh of relief.
If the assassin was not dealt with, the future threat would even be greater than that of the monsters.
Looking at the corpse on the wall, Leonard Churchill walked over.
Only now could they see the assassin was wearing a light-absorbing Cloak. RelicHider
Details: Level I Ancient Relic; stealth suit made from Photosynthetic beast skin; 40 Dark Affinity required to wear; 100% Light Absorption; improves stealth skills against visual systems by 50% if they are not stronger than the relic itself; It can hide your shape and breath, making you seemingly a ghost wandering alone in the dark.
“It really is a relic. Such a great item…”
Looking at this assassin-specific relic, Leonard’s eyes lit up.
This Cloak could also conceal his breath, no wonder they didn’t sensed him earlier.
Additionally, it increases the stealth skill of the visual system by 50%. This would be beneficial to his own Shadow Submarine, wouldn’t it?
Once he puts it on, who could discover him?
For sure, if used well, this could be a lifesaver!
Liam seemed to know his place, as he swiftly removed the assassin’s Cloak.
Then he took the Containment Card from the assassin’s Card slot and stored the relic in it. He handed it directly to Leonard Churchill behind him and mutually said, “This relic is best suited for you in our group.”
You must know, while equipment hold a price, the practical value of a relic is incalculable.
Cloak, it would be a boon to any Assassin Type card masters.
Leonard could also see that Liam simply took advantage of the circumstances,
he had no intentions of hoarding the equipment.
He didn’t decline, indeed only he could use it, “Alright!”
This act further improved the impression they had of each other.
Now that the assassin was killed, Tracy Garcia, the slowest spirit communicator, finally caught up.
Seeing the assassin’s corpse on the ground, she was startled and surprised at the same time, she asked her biggest question, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, is it a bomb you used just now? Doesn’t this Alternate Dimension prohibits the use of bombs?”
At this question, Liam and Alison also looked over.
Leonard Churchill explained with a light laugh, “It’s not that they can’t be used.
It’s that they can’t cause damage to the people and things inside the space. I tried it before, it works just as fine on the hunters from outside.”
Tracy Garcia suddenly realized, “Ah… so that’s how it is.”
Listening to this explanation, Liam’s expression turned slightly strange.
He finally understood why Leonard Churchill had tried a grenade when they first entered the Alternate Dimension?
He had even mocked him for it…
Thinking back on it now, it turned out that what he had in mind was not as simple as he had assumed.
Liam laughed at himself.
He and Alison looked at each other and saw a wry smile in each other’s eyes.
You have to admire this chain of thought…
The spatial rules explicitly restricted the use of bombs, and any regular hunter with this information wouldn’t even bother carrying such a useless item that would only increase the weight load..
