Chapter 197: Phyllida Vs Sparrow

Phyllida panted as though she had just ran a marathon. She clenched madly at her Nano sword as she placed it slantly in front of her. She knew she couldn't make any mistakes as the battle had just reached its peak.

Unlike other people, when she had suddenly been attacked, she wasn't at all flustered. She had responded with ferocity that made one think that she didn't value her life.

But that wasn't the case at all. She knew she would have certainly be at a disadvantage if she didn't have the Combat Suit.

Upon hearing the words from the Assassin, Phyllida let out a loud snort as she replied "A draw? What a joke. Wouldn't you have killed me already if I wasn't this strong. You better don't think about escaping. I will make sure I slice every piece of meat in that tiny skin of yours before I'm satisfied." Her tone grew sinister as though she was really excited and looking forwards to it.

But in reality, she glanced at the corner of her eyes, towards the screen in the helmet.

The Combat suit had only 13% remaining to shut down. If the Combat Suit were to stop working and the assassin sent to eliminate her were to know of this, it would sure be a massive problem for her.

She knew the opponent was half serious in suggesting a retreat. If she had agreed to it, her opponent would have suspected something was wrong and would have figured out the truth. Phyllida obviously wasn't naive to accept it. She had firmly insisted on the battle.

Sparrow shuddered slightly when she heard the last sentence from her target. Now, she had made up her mind to retreat instead of mindlessly testing her opponent.

Who knows if the Combat Suit actually still had half of its power remaining, sparrow couldn't afford that as she had already expended half of her stamina.

As Sparrow was about to retreat, her left pupil lit up with a circle in it. She wasn't startled at all as she knew the team used their ONI's to contact each other.

The message was simple. "Python died. Mission aborted, retreat."

But as she saw the message sent to her, her body turned rigid in an instant as a cry of disbelief escaped her lips.

"Python died?" Sparrow head immediately felt dizzy.

As an expert fighter, Phyllida obviously wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

She immediately raised her sword up, her blood vessels and muscles vibrated and she moved her blood flow toward specific areas in her blood vessels. Her heart thumped loudly and rapidly.

Instantly, sword shadows filled her surroundings as though she had tens of swords under her control.

With a low cry, she suddenly, slashed at Sparrow with all her might.

"Hell blades, endless execution!"

"Boom!"

Multiple whistling sounds emerges as though the air was been sliced apart by a great sharp force.

Feeling the threat, Sparrow immediately snapped out from her previous daze.

"StarShield" She immediately leaped backwards, a surge of green light quickly appeared, taking the form of a shield and flew towards the multiple sword shadows.

"Bang!" Sparrow didn't wait to see the result of ten clash and immediately turned around to retreat.

Before she could move two meters forward, a loud bang suddenly sounded from behind her.

Sparrow's expression changed and she immediately leapt to the side, rolling in the ground without a bit of elegance.

On the ground before her, a fist sized hole appeared on the ground, still sizzling with heat.

Dropping the pistol back at her back, Phyllida instantly moved forwards to attack.

Sparrow was flustered. It was a freaking gun! She immediately stood up. Bit before she could recover, the slashing sound of a blade piercing through the wind was heard from her flank, stabbing at her waist fiercely.

"Clang!"

The blade only managed to pierce the surface of her cloth before it was blocked by a hard inner armour.

"You!!" Sparrow shrieked in fear and anger as she tried to retaliate.

Phyllida swiftly raised her leg and in a dark blur, she kicked down towards Sparrow in a murderous manner.

"Boom!!!"

The armour around Sparrows body ripped with a silver glean and she was immediately sent flying like a broken doll.

Sparrow who was in the air suddenly grabbed a hold of a branch in mid-air, forcefully changing her landing position. And with a few leaps, she rapidly fled as though her life depended on it.

Phyllida quietly stood in place and didn't bother to pursue. She glanced at her surroundings and she also fled in the opposite direction.

It was noon of the third day. The glaring sun cried out loud as it was being blocked by the multiple trees in the forest refusing its forceful entry in some parts of the area.

David stood on a large tree branch. A munching sound was coming out from his mouth as he stared intently ahead.

He was chewing on a strand of lemon grass he found edible with the least amount of radiation in them.

Spitting out the remnants in his mouth, he grabbed a bottle of water, flushed his mouth with it and spit the water out from his mouth after a while.

He glanced at the holographic image of a lady on his wrist. And also glanced at a few hundreds of meters away from him.

There were seven people slaying a mid level mutated beast while also simultaneously protecting a young lady in their midst.

Glancing at the information of the lady, this made David a bit wary and also hesitant.

Name: Nix MoonKat

Level: 160 CPM

Additional information: Always has six to five guards with power level ranging from 120-130 CPM with her since she is the daughter to a professor.

On one hand, David was surprised the person who sent the information to him added the additional information together with the list.

And on the second hand, David was quite hesitant. Six guards who are also students with power level of approximately 140 CPM...

'Isn't that just over kill?' David couldn't help but mutter to himself. Even a one gene Phaser would retreat under such circumstances.

But that was the Phaser, not David.
