Chapter 55: Chapter 39 Siege_2

The curse on the black bullet instantly eroded the shield, pfff, and it made its way inside.

While a Curse Power Shield is strong, just like the breath of a human it isn’t always on its highest protection. A Curse Card Master needs to actively concentrate the Curse Power, focused in a specific direction, to achieve maximum defensive effect.

After a hit, the vibrational shockwave from the impact greatly reduces the shield’s stability.

Beyond that, the actively cast Curse Power Shield is directly tied to the subjective consciousness of people, and the subjective force of touching cotton and holding a lump of iron are completely different.

The two shots were quite deceptive.

The first one is the smoke screen, and the second is the real killer!

As expected, the “Annihilation Bullet” easily broke through the shield, ping, and hit the redhead woman’s forehead.

Blood profusely flows.

But, it didn’t penetrate.

The brunette woman turned pale: She’s injured? By an apprentice?

The shield in her hand shattered.

Just with one face-to-face encounter, people from the Blackwater Mercenary Group immediately realized how troublesome their target was.

“As expected, not so easy to kill...”

Leonard Churchill watched the redhead woman who stood her ground, though her forehead was bloody, she was not dead.

Internally, he felt a sense of regret.

Truth to be told, Magic Type Curse Card Masters are definitely the hardest to deal with. He thought he could try to catch the enemy off guard, as they didn’t know his level of firearms skills.

However, actual fact proves that in the face of absolute power, the gap compensated by skills and equipment is not much.

But, it wasn’t entirely useless.

At least it stopped this woman from continuing to draw cards for a fight.

That’s enough.

The action of shooting is instantaneous, but the enemy is indeed very experienced old mercenaries.

This was the first occurrence in all these years.

And the only occurrence.

However, what surprised the group was still to come!

As soon as Leonard Churchill landed, he did not hesitate at all before leaping towards the cliff behind him.

He jumped off the cliff!

The buildings in Sinless City were very tall, and the city was built on a hill, so there were high cliffs everywhere within the city.

The Black Market was located in Dark Rain Street, not only because of its remote location. It was because of its unique and extremely complex terrain that made it almost impossible for merchants and guests inside the Black Market to be surrounded, should anything happen.

One side of Dark Rain Street was a building cliff with a drop of dozens of meters.

Leonard Churchill’s earlier breakthrough from that direction was exactly what he intended.

He was very clear that there were several official curse card masters among the enemies, and they had a well-planned stratagem.

It would not be possible, not even theoretically, to win or escape normally.

So he leapt decisively off the cliff.

Upon seeing this, the four members of the Blackwater Group were momentarily stunned.

This guy jumped off the cliff without any hesitation?

Normally, when facing a cliff, the human instinct would be to pause and observe, confirming how to apply force and where to land.

But this guy did not even take a glance and jumped right away?

Was he panicking and running blindly?

But they did not know that Leonard Churchill had already carefully observed the nearby terrain before entering Dark Rain Street.

He had even planned several escape routes.

At this moment, he had a complete 3D plan of the complex streets in his mind. Even without looking, he knew exactly where he would land when he jumped.

This jump was not blind, but a well-prepared action.

Seeing this, the warrior captain urgently yelled, “Hey Third, stick to that guy, don’t let him escape!”

The target they had been waiting for was finally within sight, how could they let him escape?
