Chapter 42: Ambush and Counter-Ambush
Medusa ran as fast as she could from alley to lane.
Through Psychic I's abilities, her psychic vision can penetrate obstacles and blur into nearby mental bodies.
Then unleash the Fire ability, killing them the moment they hit the face.
The precisely controlled flames, which will never be extinguished until the victims have lost their breath, are as great as the intense fragrance emanating from the stamens of the flowers, sinking down the ocean of the subconscious, and finally being absorbed by the purgatory of greed.
Purgatory absorbed these painful emotions and offered its own power to Medusa as a reward and reward.
She had lost count of how many people she had killed, and she could only feel the power of purgatory pushing her up quickly, reaching a realm of strength that she had never seen before.
"Na! Behold, Medea! It's awesome to have a body! You can hear the beautiful screams with your own ears and watch them dance in the flames! ”
"Perverted? I'm not a pervert, I'm just aesthetically different, I'm an art connoisseur with unique tastes and elegance. ”
Medusa's heart suddenly moved, and from the "Conspiracy I" sequence ability that had just been digested, she sensed the restrained killing intent nearby.
She dodged and threw herself behind the nearby wall, where she had been standing, popping with an extra bullet hole left by a sniper bullet.
"Sniper?" She dodged out again, flicking a massive burst of flame in the direction that her killing intent and intuition had locked on.
The sniper on the sixth floor in the distance reloaded again, and suddenly saw in the eyepiece that flames were shooting at him, and quickly put away his gun and rolled to dodge.
The flames pierced through the window he was leaning against and rushed into the room where the sniper was hiding, with a sudden and violent explosion.
Dense black smoke and shards of glass exploded with the shock wave, and the Crusader snipers were instantly pierced by the debris, but what was even more deadly was the burning poisonous smoke and the sharp depletion of oxygen in the room.
He clutched his throat in pain, his whole body rapidly spasming from suffocation.
Medusa looked over there, feeling the power that was slowly growing again, drawn from painful emotions, and smiled a contented and evil smile.
"Ah, there's a new toy." She suddenly turned around and noticed that a dozen mental bodies were rapidly approaching.
Unlike the previous toys, the minds of these five people did not have a pale green fear, but a killing intent that represented crimson.
"Did you come up with a way to target me?" Medusa sneered and rushed into the building next to her.
Five Power Armor Knights, along with an even greater number of Knights, rushed in from near the alley.
They were covered in gray coarse cotton cloth, and their armor was tightly wrapped, revealing only a pair of eyes on them.
That is, fireproof asbestos? Medusa stared at the Crusader knights in the shadows behind the door.
"Right here." A knight said, pointing to a bullet hole in the ground.
"Killed?" Another knight asked.
"I didn't see the body, I guess I missed it." The knight replied, "The sniper is already hanging, and the opponent's counterattack is far more powerful than we imagined. ”
"She can't run far." Another knight said, "Pull out the line and find her." ”
The team dispersed in an orderly manner, some guarding the nearby alley entrances, while others led the knights and followers to search the buildings next to them one by one.
One of the knights, who had entered the building, approached the corner where Medusa was hiding, and suddenly noticed a pair of beautiful eyes peeking out of the shadows ahead.
Then he didn't know anything, and turned around like a marionette.
"Discovery?" Another knight walked down the stairs and greeted him, seemingly acquaintances.
"No, I don't know where to hide." The controlled knight smiled, and reached behind his waist to grasp the hilt of the dagger.
As his companion turned, he drew his knife and stabbed him in the back.
The short knife pierced the lobes of the lungs, bringing out a large amount of blood and white foam.
The victim tried to scream, but couldn't make a sound - air leaked through the holes in his lungs.
Before he could breathe, the Controlled stabbed him a few more times, then turned the tip of the knife and wiped it cleanly across his throat.
Medusa stepped out of her hiding place and reached out and touched the knight's bag from the corpse.
Sure enough, she touched what she wanted - the energy source of the power armor, the single-phase nuclear fusion battery.
As a knight's servant, his primary duty was to carry ammunition, batteries, and equipment for the knight, and his secondary duty was to assist in battle, so this was expected by Medusa.
The nuclear fusion batteries on the two were taken out of a special box that was shockproof and insulated, and stacked under the corpses and hidden.
Medusa lay next to the corpse and looked at it from a perspective, and found that it was right outside the window, and the tall building across the street.
So she reached out and threw the fireball into the next room, then jumped over the windowsill.
The room that was set ablaze by the flames soon rose thick black smoke and billowed out through the cracks in the windows.
The knights who were searching around quickly noticed the smoke rising from the sky over the house and hurried over.
"Two people died." The knight, who first rushed to the corridor outside the burning room, found two bodies lying on the floor.
"There are no burnt marks...... Cuts? ”
On the tall building across the street, watching as the last knight approached, Medusa's hands pulled out her flaming spear and projected it towards the open window.
The flaming spear passed through the window and shot at the corpse on the ground from a long distance, startling the knight to raise his shield and retreat.
The high-temperature flames burning on the corpse soon spread to the miniature nuclear fusion battery beneath the corpse.
In the next second, the entire roof of the house was blown away by a huge explosion.
On the Olympia Mountain Road, Aske and the others saw a fire rising somewhere in the town below the mountain.
"That's ...... What did Medea do? Sheila was unbelievable.
Hmm, did I pick the wrong sequence? Is the fire ability really that much stronger than the storm ability?
"Yes." Asker knew very well in his heart that it was indeed the power of the high-level sequence Flame V, which was to some extent comparable to the law rank.
However, the flaw is obvious: it must absorb a large amount of painful emotions in order to maintain its corresponding power.
If the enemy pursues a retreat-hold strategy, the power of the flames of the snake spirit, who cannot find the enemy for a while and is unable to absorb the painful emotions, will inevitably fade rapidly.
It's up to the enemy to realize this. At present, it seems that it is only a matter of time before she unscrupulously exerts her extraordinary abilities.
When the time comes, with the perverted personality of Miss Snake Spirit, maybe she will start self-harming or something.
"We've got to get over it." Asker clapped his hands, "Mia, you take the lead and try to locate her while staying in touch with the team at all times. ”
"Okay." Mia made a quick move and flew out of the front of the group.
