Before I fired Spell Breaker, there was a rapid drain of psion from my head, and when I pulled the trigger, despite holding the gun with both hands, I was forced to take a step back.
Boom!!
My shell was a needle compared to the approaching entity, yet when they collided, the serpent was hit with a force that forced its entire form to stop in its tracks, and then, the next second, it erupted in an explosion.
I raised an arm over my face as a wave of heat and debris washed over and the fires from the explosion were still blazing when I got into a sprint, my head tilted up.
Ava was fleeing, and as I ran after her, I understood why.
If that attack truly had been as strong as she boasted possibly even being the strongest she had in her arsenal, then it made sense that she would imdiately flee on seeing how easily I had dealt with the attack.
I an, even I was shocked at the outco. I thought I would have to offload three shots to stop Bettany's serpent, but a single shot was all that was needed.
The weapon did just what its na implied, it didn't matter the size of the attack, as long as it was a spell, it destroyed it.
Giving the powerful and mysterious gun another look, when I took my next step, I knees bent more than normal and then I pushed up.
The area I was in was surrounded by either single- story buildings or bungalows, so I had no difficulty jumping to the top of one, reducing the altitude between and Bettany.
Watching the woman who was ahead of and speeding through the air on her broom, I raised Spell Breaker and with a sigh, had it replaced for Desert Eagles.
No visible rebound and infinite ammo. With each second that passed, Bettany got farther away, I had to be efficient.
Bang!!
Bang!!
Looking up at the sky, I let my bullets fly, my heart thumping within as I focused on both shooting at the woman and jumping across buildings.
"I don't have much ti."
Not only was Bettany getting faster, but if things continued as they were, in the next minutes, I would run out of buildings.
My flurry of bullets had Bettany swaying left and right on her broom, the woman turning and looking down at with frustration, and then suddenly, my speed tripled, my next two steps leaving dents in the rooftops, and on my third, I pushed off.
My body shot into the air like it had been fired by a cannon, flying at Bettany, and though the peak of my flight saw a couple of ters from Bettany, my shotgun was ready.
Seeing fear appear in Bettany's eyes at the sight of my shotgun, I smiled internally because it proved that my observation from below was correct.
In the air, flying on her broom, Bettany didn't have her invisible shield.
Bang!!
Before I pulled the trigger, Bettany brought out her brown spell book, and as my shell roared towards her, the book moved on its own and stood in the way.
Frustrated, I thought the spell book would spawn a barrier, but my shell tore into it, a high-pitched scream erupting from Bettany.
A dense wave of energy rushed burst out of the book as it was split in two, the energy wave scrambling my mind, vision, and slamming down to the ground.
Fuck.
Having ascended several ters into the air, my body descended with a powerful rush and after several seconds, I slamd down on the ground.
Bam!!
Rather than let my body bear the brunt of the impact, with Mind Revenger, I could direct the effects of an impact to the energy in my head and remain unhard.
Mastered, Mind Revenger would theoretically let fall from a plane and land on the ground unhard so long as I had the psion to tank the redirected damage.
I was still at the doorstep of the technique, so while I was able to absorb the shock from my crash and direct it to my head through the channel I had been building, I groaned on the floor as my body suffered so damage in the process of using the technique, pain wrecking through .
"This is what I get for doing my first practice on the field."
"Echo."
As I writhed on the floor, I didn't forget to check up on Bettany, a bitter expression on my face as I failed to find her in a 400-ter range.
To make matters worse, I found out that not only had I lost the woman, but I had fallen into the arms of one of the last group of people I wanted to et.
"Don't move."
The voice ca from behind, a gun soon coming into my vision—a policeman and his colleague hovering over .
"A healing potion," I thought to myself, but I couldn't even move an arm.
Unable to move a limb, it was like I had broken all the bones in my body, yet the pain I was feeling was too mild for that.
"You are under arrest on suspicion of bombing, and firing firearms into the air."
The officers searched , confusion on their faces when they found nothing.
Unfortunately, they didn't relent.
They turned around and cuffed , and then with grunts, they lifted by my shoulders.
They tried to set on my feet, but my legs slacked, and the officers had to hold up.
"Officers, I haven't bombed anyone or fired any shots," I said, looking at both n in confusion.
"A witness says they heard loud sounds and a gunshot from this area. There's been a recent bombing in the town. I'm sorry, but we will have to take you in as a suspect."
"Great," I thought, channelling all the strength in my body, yet only able to twitch my fingers.
"Are you drunk, sir?" The officer asked, realising that I could in no way stand on my own feet.
"Maybe," I answered uncommittedly.
