Chapter 380 - Operation Sparrow (VIII)

Diena angrily jumped down from the balcony of the Guild House and as she was about to land, she pulls out a [Time Bomb] and throws it towards my direction. I may not be much of an expert in the Chronomancer class but I still know what the [Time Bomb] does.

"Cotton!"

Cotton immediately shoots a web and catches the [Time Bomb.] The moment the [Time Bomb] was caught, I grab the end of the web and sling it back to Diena. Since it explodes upon contact on a player or a solid ground, I took advantage of it and used it against her. Of course, that won't give any effects on her once it explodes but that will give me enough distraction against her as she will immediately try to block her bomb despite the fact that it won't do anything to her as it was her skill unless it was a skill that can also do a friendly fire to her. [Time Bomb] has no friendly fire effect so it isn't even going to make her suffer any debuffs.

And as expected, she decides to counter it and used [Reset], a skill that allows the Chronomancer to negate all incoming attacks and debuffs aimed at her. Now that was a very good skill. However, it has the downside of making the skill unusable for a day after it was used, meaning it has a 24-hour cooldown.

I grinned when I saw her use that. She used a very important skill in an attack that doesn't do anything to her, wasting her skill that could have saved her life for later on. The [Time Bomb] exploded and since it does not do anything, her skill [Reset] was left hanging there without any reaction happening and because it was an instant use, it disappeared a few seconds later.

"What?" Diena was not sure what happened. Since she blocked the attack there should be a reaction that occurred but since nothing happened, she was confused.

"Thanks for wasting a life-saving skill! Now I can safely attack you myself!"

BANG!

Diena who is still confused was quick and dodged the bullet. She was quick on her feet and the bullet I shot her with missed. I repeated shooting her with the gun but she casually used her backflip skills and dodged them all gracefully. I was impressed since no one was capable of dodging the bullets just yet and she easily did it all without any effort.

When she was a few meters away from me, she activates [Fast Forward]. It is a skill that allows the user to move very quickly. In her eyes, everything will be slowed down and she can immediately rush towards you without you realizing it. I have rarely faced a Chronomancer before but this is a skill that is terrifying in PVP due to how it can easily create unexpected outcomes as the enemy randomly applies attacks at you and you barely know what will happen.

I blinked and she disappeared from where she was. It might be rare for me to face against a Chronomancer but I only needed a bit of little timing. And using the slight flicker I saw when she disappeared, I used that to my advantage and use it to predict where she will be.

"Ha! There you are!"

I aimed behind me and...

BANG!

The next thing I knew, Diena lie down on the ground and has died. It was a quick death which made me sigh as the outcome might be unexpected but it should have been much better if she just decided to bombard me with bombs. Since she tried to attack me from behind, she was trying to attack me with one of the attack skills the Chronomancer can use will be [Rend and Tear], a skill that needs the user to get close to the target and apply the target to a space that will allow her to either use that space to manipulate the enemy or tear off the limbs of the enemy. It was a strong skill but it needs the Chronomancer to be close to the enemy and successfully capture him or her.

Now I remember that trick before and I fell victim to it. Because of how easy you can be captured due to the skill [Fast Forward], you will not be able to tell what happened to you before you die in the end.

Diena tried that but she failed when I managed to predict her position. She can easily counter that by doing another skill but she was still not as strong as she was back in the past timeline, I guess she is still quite wet behind the ears. But if I didn't manage to predict her that time, I will be easily killed in the process. Thankfully, I was able to avoid that problem.

I looked at the Vice President and this time, he disappeared from the balcony. From the looks of it, he is now hiding inside the Guild House. I scratch my head seeing this. I thought he would fight against me with all his might? Is Diena the only elite player he has right now? I doubt it was but if I ended up killing all his elite players, that was quite something.

Just as I was about to deal with the guild house itself, I received a chat and this time, it came from Harmless Sparrow.

"Bladeheart! I am now good to go! The evidence that I needed is now in my hands. If you are still fighting against my fiancee, you can end it without any problem now! The key to my cage is finally in my hands!"

Reading those words, I finally found a sense of relief and slowly stretch a bit, and looked at the guild house.

"How about we end this thing with a bang?"

If the guild's vice president which is now the main target of this guild war has gone hiding, then how about flaming him out of the hideout?

With an idea, I pulled out the blueprint of the Saboteur class and materialized some items I needed for letting him go out of the guildhouse.. With the preexisting design, I materialized several of them but this time, I made them as dynamites that needed for me to just ignite them to create a big ruckus.
