Chapter Eighty-Three: The Phantom (Part II)

Renault's back was empty, nothing.

But at the moment when Renault opened fire, a strange air fluctuation suddenly appeared in the sky in front of him.

It was as if an invisible flame was beating, distorting the air, and then a ripple of water appeared.

Renault's positive electron cannon was hitting the waves, and the electric light swam and burst into a strong spark, and then a transparent humanoid was seen flying up and thrown into the distance.

Before the figure landed, Renault had already fired at the figure repeatedly, and heavy artillery shells continued to pour past, interspersed with whistling missiles. Antonia rushed up as well, firing with Renault at the transparent humanoid.

However, the transparent figure only flickered and disappeared, and most of Renault's attacks missed.

Just as the two of them were surprised, Renault suddenly felt something and shouted: "Get out of the way!" ”

Turning around is another shot.

But it was still a step too late, and a blade poked out of nothingness and hit Antonia's mecha, and the huge force directly lifted Antonia away. Renault's heavy cannon also flew over at this time, hitting the empty space, and another wave of light lit up.

This time, Renault failed to knock his opponent into the air again, and a human figure appeared on the flat ground, gradually becoming clear.

Like a knight who has come out of the darkness, the Protoss warrior in front of him is wearing a pure black mecha and holding a half-moon-shaped scimitar in his hand. Visually, he resembles a Predator, but he is thinner in comparison, and he doesn't have that thick long hair, but he's more powerful.

"Phantom Catcher!" Renault let out a low breath.

The moment he saw the other party appear, Renault was finally sure that it was indeed the Phantom Catcher known as the Protoss Assassin. These elves are stealthy warriors, killers in the dark, reserve members of the Shadow Warriors.

Previously, they didn't show up because it was still light, and the Phantom Catchers could only fully exert their stealth abilities in the dark, so they waited until now that the sun was setting and it was dark.

However, the Phantom Catcher's luck was obviously not very good, and he was shot first by Renault before he could even make a move, which was undoubtedly a great shame for him to be attacked as an assassin, and perhaps for this reason, after a blow to Antonia, he appeared in his original form.

Looking at Renault, he said, "How did you find me?" ”

"I didn't know you could speak human language." Renault laughed.

"I know more about humanity than you think."

"That's right, captive. What captives will not communicate? Renault pouted, but dismissive of his opponent's question.

This sentence undoubtedly angered the catcher, and he let out a low whistle: "Even if you don't say it, I can guess that you unlocked the life detector!" ”

Years of military academy life have given Renault a wealth of knowledge about the struggle, and although his knowledge of the Protoss is still limited, at least he still knows that the Phantom Catcher can become invisible. So after knowing that the Phantom Catcher was also on the advent list, Renault unlocked the Life Detector and kept it on.

Of course, this is also thanks to the Phantom Catcher, and the life detector can find out. If it is a Shadow Warrior of the Protoss, then even the Life Detector will not be able to detect it, the Shadow Warrior is the assassination master of the Protoss, they come and go without a trace, and they can even control their body temperature, ordinary Life Detectors, thermal imaging, etc. are useless to them.

However, although the Life Detector can detect the Phantom Catcher, it does not mean that the Phantom Catcher's concealment is invalid. After entering the darkness, the Phantom Catcher displays a red dot on the life detector. This red dot will reveal his presence, but it is not easy to use it as a marker to lock on to the Phantom Catcher, as if one is a location on a map and the other is a location in reality. While you can find out the real-world location through the map markers, there will inevitably be some delays.

The Phantom Catcher showed up not to satisfy curiosity but to confirm it, which was important for his next tactics. If the other party is using atomic imaging, it means that the dark concealment is ineffective, and you should turn it off completely to save energy. But on the other hand, if it is a life detector, dark concealment is still useful. The Phantom Catcher has limited knowledge of mechas, and he doesn't know what kind of detection device the Silverwinger is installing, so he chooses to show up and ask directly, but Renault doesn't eat that thoroughly.

He didn't have the habit of showing his bottom in battle, and said with a smile: "Yo, you still know how to unlock it." ”

The Phantom Catcher's eyes showed angry murderous intent: "Human, die!" ”

With a wave of the psionic blade in his hand, he had already rushed towards Renault, and his speed increased to the extreme in an instant.

It seems that he chose to attack.

Renault took a step back, and just as he did, a sharp blade from the ground stabbed the Catcher in the back.

The catcher just cut back, and opened the tail of the chain, and the psionic war knife slashed down. His psionic blade is significantly different from the Zealot's psionic blade, the blade is more narrow, there is only one, but both the attack strength and frequency amplitude are much higher than the fanatic.

Renault's energy knife caught up, and the moment the two knives collided, the psionic blade had already slashed through the energy knife and slashed at the silverwinged angel, slashing Renault's mecha into sparks. The energy of the mecha dropped in an instant, which was visible to the naked eye.

The thumping of gunfire rang out continuously, and Antonia's bullets continued to hit.

The Phantom Catcher was extremely fast, chasing Renault and slashing wildly in rapid motion, obviously making up his mind to kill Renault first. His figure was erratic, even with Antonia's accuracy, more than half of the bullets shot were dodged by him, and his speed was as fast as a ghost, no wonder he was called a phantom.

And the attack power of his psionic blade is even more terrifying, and several consecutive slashes have caused Renault's energy to plummet, even if Renault has the assistance of the dark sand scorpion, it is useless, and with the speed of the phantom catcher, the role that the sand scorpion can play is very small.

This is not a weapon that can restrain the Phantom Catcher!

"Damn it!" Renault scolded, and suddenly did not dodge, and bumped into the phantom catcher.

With two pounces, both sides had slashed each other at the same time, and at the same time as the knife, Renault had opened his arms to hug his opponent and shouted at Antonia: "Fire!" ”

Antonia was stunned for a moment, firing like this would undoubtedly affect Renault.

Renault had already shouted: "Leave me alone, fire quickly!" ”

As he spoke, Renault began to pour the energy boxes in the storage bin into the mechs one by one. Although the energy in the mecha has gradually become unsustainable due to repeated battles, don't forget that there are still many energy boxes in his storage warehouse.

With a lot of energy consumption, Renault also has to fight this guy, he doesn't believe that a warrior like Phantom Catcher, who obviously takes the agile route, will have much higher defense strength than the Silverwing, and he doesn't believe that if Antonia aims to fight, he will take more damage than the other party.

Antonia didn't hesitate any longer, and launched the Piercing Serpent to blast at the Phantom Catcher.

The unique energy of the Piercing Serpent pierced and hit the Phantom Catcher, causing this powerful Protoss to tremble all over. His body froze visibly, and Renault had taken the opportunity to attack the Phantom Catcher Company, strafing the machine guns, bombarding the heavy artillery, and even ignoring the impact damage caused by the explosion.

If this continues, the Phantom Catcher may be killed.

But just then, the Phantom Catcher's form suddenly faded.

If you look at the Life Detector at this time, you will notice that for a short moment, the red dot representing the Phantom Catcher has disappeared and reappeared a second later.

But it is out of Renault's grasp.

This is the Shadow Warrior's unique Shadow Jump, which allows you to jump over most obstacles.

The ultimate goal of every Phantom Catcher is to become a Shadow Knight, so they also have some of the power of the Shadow Knight, and although their leap is too far from that of a real Shadow Knight, it is enough to keep him out of Renault's grasp.

But the moment he departed, Renaud smiled.
