"That Faze got lucky"
Ligna frowned as he looked at the other person, "What about Ezra, how come he didn't die?"
With the great distance and the speed of the bullet, only the person using the sniper rifle with their laser aimer device could clearly see what happened in that instant.
"That Ezra….." the sniper hesitated, and then said, "he also got lucky. As I fired, he just so happened to be skinning a zombie, and just so happened to swing his blade against my armor piercing bullet". He could only say this, because he didn't think Ezra's reaction speed was quick enough to cut through the armor piercing bullet.
So the only explanation was luck!
Since you would need an absurd reaction speed and control over your blade and amazing sight to be able to cut through an armor piercing bullet.
"Fuck, this Ezra also has some bullshit luck." They couldn't help but to curse.
"However, don't worry". Laughed the sniper. "we fired four shots at the zombie hordes before and the only humans they could find are the members of the 'Death Gate squad'. Over a thousand zombies have them surrounded. No matter how great the Death Gate squad is, they're doomed for sure!"
"No!"
The captain of the Lion Heart squad shook his head, "Not absolutely. If Death Gate squad split up and ran. If the captain stayed behind to hold the horse while the others flee, they may have survived!" as he said that, Ligna let out a smile, "Of course, they have absolutely no threat to our Lion Heart squad."
"Captain, maybe they could coincidentally meet others if the same academy to help them." laughed the one of the team.
"In this city, and in such a small amount of time, to meet another team….. and to even convince him to help them. The chance of this is even lower than winning the lottery" grinned the Lion Heart squad's captain as he laughed, "Alright, let's go guys. That old thing is still moving, so we should get there as fast as possible".
"Yes".
The Lion Heart squad moved forward.
※※※
Ezra and the others rushed to the rooftop of a regular six story residential apartment.
"KA!" the door to the staircase connected to the rooftop was directly sealed shut.
"Quick, let John down" Ezra in a low voice.
"Get the medicine" said Faze hurriedly.
With John's injury, he could die just by blood loss. Thankfully they stopped the blood earlier. However, such a large injury would need some basic treatment first….. since this city is a day walk away from the vehicle.
And rushing on the road for a day straight? With John's current condition, there's no way he'd be able to handle that.
"John, keep that in your mouth and replenish some energy" Faze took out a pill and put it in John's mouth.
As the Death Gate squad continued to treat John, the pale faced John was able to get the energy he needed in time. As treatment went on, the members of the Death Gate squad started to loosen up.
"Phew!" Ezra secretly let out a sigh of relief. As he looked at the pale John and especially at the spot of his nonexistent right arm and half of a shoulder, his face was a bit dark. His fate would have even been worse than John's had he not replicate a secund heart.
"John can't use a blade in the future anymore and his career as a fighter is over!" Ezra felt that it was a pity.
"These bastards, I, Faze, will make them regret it" said Faze as he clenched both of his fists, and then looked at Ezra, "Thankfully, Ezra wasn't shot dead and was able to... Oh yea, Ezra, how come you were you able to deflect the bullet?".
Suddenly, all the other members of the Death Gate squad, including the heavily wounded John that was lying on the floor, looked at Ezra.
Ezra knew that the reaction speed he had showcased earlier had been off the charts. Even a silver grade beast nor a Demon Fighter possess such reaction speed to deflect a bullet but Ezra had done it right in front of everybody.
Ezra stared at the two people looking at him with a contemplative look before sighing. "I successfully practice the Nine Star Thunder Blade!"
Both John and Faze were instantly stunned. "T-the most difficult and main technique of the Venerable Fiendgod, of the Thunder temple?"
Faze couldn't help but ask after some hesitation.
Ezra nodded his head seriously.
"The technique that paves way to the Path of becoming a Fiendgod?" John's weak voice also sounded as he asked for confirmation.
Ezra hesitated. He hadn't heard the technique could make one a Fiendgod but he also nodded his head slowly.
"Haha." Faze laughed loudly, "Ezra, I knew I didn't misjudge you!"
John also let out a weak smile.
"A potential Fiendgod… an actual potential Fiendgod has appeared in our team." laughed Faze as he nodded, "I know that if the Lion Heart squad knew that Ezra was this powerful, they wouldn't have pulled this sly trick. If they knew... that they made an enemy out of a potential Fiendgod , they'd certainly regret it!"
John also let out a weak smile.
"A potential Fiendgod… an actual potential Fiendgod has appeared in our team." Laughed Faze as he nodded, "I know that if the Lion Heart squad knew that Ezra was this powerful, they wouldn't have pulled this sly trick. If they knew... that they made an enemy out of a potential Fiendgod , they'd certainly regret it!"
"They would regret it for life" chuckled John.
John, who was lying off to the side, couldn't help but to say: "The most powerful members of the trashes in the Lion Heart squad are only peak level Genetic Soldier! With Ezra's current fitness level, he barely reaches the Super soldier level. According to the rules, a potential Fiendgod is two minor stages level, so he should be able to defeat a Super soldier easily."
All fighters understood the terror of a potential Fiendgod!
On the same level, they would certainly destroy any other fighter!
