Chapter 199 Battle Techniques of the Withering Sequence

During the following period, Tilan would spend several hours each day with the "Death Rose Society", both to assist them in improving their combat skills and secret techniques, and for mutual learning.

Having been a disciple of the Ghost Princess who had lived through many eras, Tilan had an exceptional understanding of the ancient knowledge and tomes of the Mercury Dynasty, but she wasn't as familiar with the various detailed categories of the Withering Sequence and new technologies; this was also an opportunity to gradually address these weaknesses through exchange.

"President Tilan, have you studied the 'Spirit-Locking Aim Spell'?" one day, as a few of them discussed sudden situations that could occur in modern life, a member asked.

"I've heard of it, but I haven't looked into it in detail," Tilan shook her head.

"This kind of spell is generally not taught in high school, but Edith Academy can teach such combat skills to students under the guise of joint training with the military academies," he said, pushing his glasses up and then smiling.

"Let me give a brief explanation to President Tilan," he offered.

"Those often engaged in security and special tasks will know that during battle, firearms are the most widely used and convenient weapons. Even an ordinary person wielding a powerful enough gun can pose a threat to transcendents," he explained.

"However, that's just in theory. A Sequence 3 transcendent, even without a gun, has too many ways to defeat and kill a mortal. On the other hand, an ordinary person, without extensive combat skill training, would find it extremely difficult to fight against a transcendent being with several times their reaction speed, high agility, and superior physical defense and impact resistance, even with a firearm at hand," he continued.

The remaining three officers continued their search, and then encountered a similar scenario around a corner. However, this time the officers were prepared; they stood watch to cover each other and immediately shot at a figure attacking from another direction. Yet they still failed to hit the real target.

Wandering the dimly lit, abandoned building, the three officers realized the difficulty of their situation. They stopped advancing, stood guard, deployed small reconnaissance units to scatter and keep watch, and then began calling for backup. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

They originally thought that the fugitive would continue to flee and not risk a counter-attack on the three of them. This time, however, things did not go as expected; the man had returned, retrieved the electromagnetic rifle from the hands of the fallen officer, and used a black market decoder to unlock the biometric lock.

As the three officers stayed in place to guard and prepare, he found a good position in a corner and began aiming. Then he suddenly fired several shots, striking an officer's visor and piercing through the head protection.

The shattered orange, translucent metal and blood splattered as the officer collapsed, not dead, but in mortal peril.

Realizing that staying put was no longer tenable, the remaining two officers did not hesitate any longer. They followed the sound of gunfire to pursue their target once again.

At this point, the red-jacketed man did not simply dodge anymore but continuously utilized the terrain to fight the two remaining officers. In just a few minutes, sparks from their shots and bullet marks were everywhere, with bright flashes continuously erupting in the abandoned building.

And just as the two officers were becoming increasingly tense and sensitive to reaction, he repeated his old trick, drawing one officer's attention with a decoy and using the cover to shoot the other officer.
