When a long-range fighter fought a melee fighter, the first choice was to destroy the opponent's mobility if he wasn't confident of winning quickly. As long as he could delay the opponent slightly, he could create more opportunities for the long-range fighter.
This was the windbreaker man's intention.
Faced with the flying bullets, Elvin felt a faint prickling sensation on his knees. At the same time, alarm bells rang in his spirit perception. If he continued to chase, the trajectories of the two bullets would definitely converge on his knees!
These two shots might not have been much in Elvin's previous life. Every well-trained special soldier could almost do it. However, to the natives of this world who still used flintlock firearms, it was simply a miracle.
There was no doubt that the windbreaker man had used some kind of Transcendent power.
'Is he really a Transcendent?'
As the thought flashed through his mind, his hands didn't slow down at all. His longsword flashed like a bolt of silver lightning. His Transcendent physique, insight, and reaction allowed him to directly deflect a bullet.
At the same time, the frequency of his footsteps changed instantly and also broke the windbreaker man's prediction, causing another bullet to graze his trousers and miss.
Boom!
The missed bullet flew past Elvin's position and hit the wall, easily creating a bowl-sized dent.
Although this power was far inferior to Elvin's Thorny Golden Rose, for an ordinary lead bullet, it was enough to crush all firearms of the same era.
At this moment.
Because Elvin's abilities had been greatly strengthened after the Transcendent transformation, they gradually couldn't keep up with his footsteps. The ordinary flintlock, which had almost withdrawn from the ranks of combat equipment, unleashed extraordinary power in the windbreaker man's hands!
However, no matter how powerful it was, it was useless if it couldn't hit its target. The two scorching lead bullets only made Elvin's footsteps pause slightly, and the distance between the two of them was still rapidly closing.
Whoosh!
Seeing this, the windbreaker man's expression changed slightly.
Shooting with incomparable precision while moving was already one of his strongest conventional abilities. In the past, it had always been successful against ordinary people. Even an ordinary Transcendent Knight had to temporarily avoid the spearhead.
This opponent who seemed to be too young was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
"Hey, have a taste of this move again!"
The windbreaker man's hands had quietly turned scarlet. With a flip of his hand, the empty flintlock was put away. Suddenly, two double-barreled muskets appeared out of nowhere and were held in his hands.
He held a gun in each hand, and the originally bright and clean silver guns seemed to have been dyed red by the unknown blood in his hands. The exquisitely crafted guns that were full of mechanical beauty instantly turned into two ferocious beasts!
They suddenly opened fire!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! "
The ammunition was emptied in an instant, but the effect of the focused fire was significant.
At this moment, Elvin continued to pursue, and the distance between the two of them was extremely close.
Four pellets streaked across a red trajectory and arrived in front of Elvin in an instant, interweaving into a net of firepower, leaving Elvin with no room to dodge …
But notice, it really was "almost"!
Esoteric – Wave Jump
Elvin quietly circulated his breathing technique, coordinating with his bones, muscles, and nervous system in an orderly manner. It was as if a violent wave had suddenly appeared under his feet. He lightly stomped his feet.
"Boom!"
The sprinting Elvin instantly accelerated again, almost leaving behind an afterimage, but he still passed through the encirclement that had yet to close in on him.
Only an afterimage was left behind, torn apart by the blazing pellets.
Whoosh —
Elvin never felt that his path was definitely the strongest. There were as many Transcendent professions as the sea, and each had their own strengths. For example, the windbreaker man, whose marksmanship was godly, easily forced Elvin to use his Profound Sword Art. This was something that had never happened to the Transcendent Knight of the same level in the past.
No matter what, the speed of a human's movement could not be compared to that of a small pellet. If the windbreaker man had a few more bullets, with his marksmanship, he might really be able to force Elvin to have no choice but to face him head-on.
Unfortunately, the standard firearms of this era were three guns. The windbreaker man used the advantage of the double-barreled musket to double the firepower of an ordinary firearm, and he did not have a fourth gun with him.
It could be said that the gun technology of this era shackled his ability.
However, he did not know if his Transcendent ability had any limitations. Did it also apply to "sniper rifles"? If it did, then this Transcendent profession was too terrifying!
It was a pity that his opponent was born at the wrong time, but it did not mean that he would be given a chance.
Under the "wave jump" state, Elvin continued to accelerate in a straight line, quickly approaching the windbreaker man who seemed to have run out of ammunition!
All the bullets had been used up, but it still could not stop Elvin's footsteps. However, the windbreaker man had no intention of giving up.
His Transcendent profession was not known for its physical strength, and it could not be compared to a purely physical profession like a Knight. He threw away the emptied gun to reduce the weight. At the same time, his black windbreaker was also unbuttoned.
Whoosh —
Whoosh —
His scarlet hands swiped across his waist, and snow-white throwing knives shot out.
"Profound Meaning — Boiling Blood!"
"Profound Meaning — Rapid Fire!"
His hands danced, almost turning into afterimages.
Every time the blood-red fingertips tapped lightly, the throwing knives flew toward Elvin under the guidance of strange energy. The wind whistled, and their power was not much inferior to that of a bullet.
Moreover, with the enhancement of the Transcendent skill, the throwing knives already had a firing speed that was not lower than that of an automatic rifle. Although their power was lower than when he used a gun, they posed a greater threat to Elvin.
Clang!
Clang!
It was difficult to change directions at high speed. Elvin, who could no longer rely on his footwork and agility to dodge, had to put in more effort to swing his longsword and cut down the throwing knives that carried great kinetic energy.
Every throwing knife was like a heavy hammer, constantly hitting Elvin's blade. The deafening sound of metal clashing echoed in the warehouse.
The windbreaker man had obviously used his trump card. Even if the throwing knives that were hit by Elvin hit the walls of the buildings on both sides, they would not be bounced off. Instead, they would sink directly into the walls, and their lethality was astonishing.
After a short test, the battle had entered a white-hot state.
Name: Unknown (codename: Windbreaker Man)
Gender: Male
Identity: Blood Hand Transcendent Cadre
Job Level: Unknown
Attributes:
Physique 1.1
Strength 1.43
Agility 1.5
Mental Strength 0.1
Skills: Gun Technique (Proficient), Throwing Knife Technique (Proficient)
The detection results of the Digitized Vision had already shown that his physical fitness had only broken through the limits of mortals. It was not particularly outstanding, at least not on par with Wacker Wales after he lost control. However, the Proficient Level skill provided him with a huge boost in strength.
He was not to be underestimated.
In fact, Elvin was almost suppressed by him for a short period of time.
Of course, it was more because of Elvin's own strategy. On one hand, he did not think that he needed to force a breakthrough at the cost of being injured to defeat the windbreaker man. On the other hand, Elvin could afford to drag it out!
Whether it was the consumption of the throwing knives or the City Guard that could arrive at any time, they were all increasing the pressure on the windbreaker man. The windbreaker man should be the first to lose his cool.
"Huff … Huff …"
On this side, Elvin was calm and composed, but the windbreaker man's breathing slowly became heavy. There were blood-colored lines spreading on his face, and the sweat on his forehead slowly emitted the smell of blood.
As a powerful organization that had its influence spread across several countries, Blood Hand naturally had its own Transcendent legacy. Apart from the popular path of Knight, there was also a unique Transcendent legacy within the organization — Scarlet Archer.
The windbreaker man was one of them.
