Chapter 169 - Fire in Rain

Time froze at this second.

Saurun could not see the expression on the soldier's face because of the rain that split the heavens and the earth. However, the metal barrel of the gun had clearly appeared in his eyes. Without thinking too much, Saurun attacked even faster when the machine gun was halfway up.

A flash of red flashed past his eyes. The moment Saurun pressed his palm against the soldier's chest, a red circle suddenly appeared beneath the soldier's feet. The next moment, flames shot up from beneath his feet. A pillar of fire wrapped around the soldier, turning him into a burning man.

The rank 2 ability of the fire element, the high temperature fire pillar instantly killed the soldier. The rest of the soldiers in the camp finally came to a stop. Immediately, the entire camp became quiet. The flames were gradually being suppressed by the rain of radiation, and Saurun could only hear himself gasping for breath.

Did I succeed? Wasn't that the damned Zero? You want to kill me? It's not that easy!

A strange smile appeared on Saurun's face. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. Because he saw that more than half of the soldiers in the camp had raised their guns in his direction!

What was going on? Do you all want to turn traitor?

Saurun roared in his heart as his eyes turned red. With a muffled groan, Saurun, like an angry beast, pushed his way towards the camp with all his might.

An invisible wave swept past and even the rain line of the radiation rain was bounced off. In the midst of the chaotic rain, a thirty-meter wide wall of fire appeared out of thin air. Like a train, it crashed into the soldiers within the camp.

The frightened shouts of the soldiers echoed throughout the camp. The Blazing Flame Wall was a third step Fire Elemental ability. It was a skill that could be used to kill people, and could be seen as a replica of the High Temperature Fire Pillar. It was different from the fire in nature, it was hard for the elemental flames to be extinguished. Even the rain of radiation could only slightly reduce the intensity of their flames, but it could not be completely extinguished.

Everywhere Sauron's wall of fire passed, charred bodies were left behind. The tents had been burnt to ashes, and the metal frames had melted into liquid iron. As for the equipment in the tent, they were all wasted. Sauron's attack had dealt more damage than in any previous battle.

A fire element user was indeed worthy of being known for his destructive power. It was just that this power was used to destroy his own troops. Thus, Saurun wasn't in a very happy mood.

When the wall of fire was ten meters deep, it gradually disappeared. At least a third of the soldiers in the camp had died in this wall of fire, and the survivors were staring in Sauron's direction in horror, but they were forced to leave the tent even though they were not burned to death. If they didn't put on their radiation suits in time, they would not be able to escape the fate of freezing or genetic collapse.

So a new round of chaos began, but this time the conflict revolved around a small number of radiation suits.

Saurun withdrew his trembling hands. He could not believe that he had attacked his own private army. But there was no time for him to think about it. No matter who saw the dozens of machine guns raised at him, he would not be moved. Saurun was no exception. Under the control of his instincts, he personally killed a third of the soldiers.

At the same time, he had also killed the soldiers' loyalty towards Saurun.

What was going on?

Saurun roared silently in his heart.

The rain gradually stopped, but the chaos in the camp did not seem to end. In order to snatch the few radiation protective suits, the soldiers opened fire at each other. Bullets and fresh blood caused the chaos to escalate, and the camp became a battlefield without order.

Sauron came to his senses, knowing that if he did not stop them, his private troops would be buried in an unfathomable interiority. But at this time, a voice came from the top of the tent.

"Indeed, those who can sacrifice soldiers as they please cannot be trusted either."

Saurun's pupils narrowed, his voice was indifferent and low. Each word carried a strange vibration in the air, like a bullet leaving the chamber.

It was the sound of zero!

He quickly turned around and looked at the tent. Sauron saw a soldier wearing a radiation-proof vest. Then the soldier took off his helmet, revealing the face of Zero with the golden right eye.

Sauron knew at once that the soldiers had not been aiming their guns at him. Their aim had been zero. Then Saurun remembered that the soldier had seemed to be shouting something, but he could not hear the heavy rain, so he attacked his men.

The noble youth's face immediately twisted in anger.

"Zero, I will kill you!" Saurun no longer cared about how Zero managed to escape death. Now, all he wanted to do was to grind the bones into ashes!

The flame swirled around his hand, instantly forming a flame gun. Sauron raised his hand in a tossing gesture, and the flamethrower disappeared into his hand. When he reappeared, he stabbed towards the ground with his Flaming Tail.

But the zero speed was even faster, and he stretched his legs out in two directions. Under the effect of the second-order strengthening, the tent was immediately torn apart. Zero disappeared from the tent, and the Flame Spear pierced empty air when he landed inside the tent.

Saurun roared, his eyes shining with scarlet light. He hugged the empty tent with both hands. Suddenly, a red light flashed within the camp, followed by a violent explosion. Raging flames soared into the sky. The shockwave from the explosion even sent Saurun flying. However, after landing on the ground, Saurun looked at his masterpiece and revealed a sinister smile.

The moment he saw zero, Saurun poured all of his stored evolution points into the fire element domain. In the gene sequence that came out of nowhere, a new power of the fourth step was formed — — Raging Flames!

Unlike the fire pillar and wall, the Raging Flames had a narrow range and used the energy to collide with each other to create a terrifying explosion. Its downside was that it would take a second or two of brewing before the explosion, but the destructive power was enough to wipe out a high-rise building.

Raging Flames had an even greater effect on the battlefield. This kind of targeted blasting method was the most suitable to deal damage to the enemy region.

Saurun had originally planned to use a specific formula to create a flame puppet after returning to the Blood Cavalry headquarters. The flame puppet had an elementary intelligence and could assist Saurun in battle. It was an ability with outstanding endurance. It could make up for the fact that the explosive power of a fire element user was outstanding, but lacked the ability to sustain attacks.

However, facing zero, Saurun couldn't wait to return to the headquarters. He could only resign himself to fate and generate random abilities. Fortunately, the Raging Flames was quite powerful. Saurun knew that even if he fell into their attack range, he would be blown to ashes. Zero was no exception.

However, when the elemental force field that had been quietly activated after the start of the battle took form under the berserk attack of the M500, Saurun was incomparably stunned to see that Zero had actually appeared on the west side of the camp, continuously shooting at him.

This is impossible, I clearly saw him fall into the tent! Saurun screamed in his heart, clearly unable to understand how Zero did it.

Naturally, he did not know that the moment he entered the tent, Zero keenly felt the heat in the tent increasing. Without hesitation, he activated Rampage and used his speed to break the sound barrier to get out of the attack range before the Raging Flames formed. Thanks to this trump card skill, Zero was able to survive in the Windmill Town.
