Chapter 278: Chapter 186 Initial Test of the Faith Weapon (6k)
Battle Zone 8, within a valley
The chaotic magic power around and the corpses on the ground all testified to a battle that had just taken place here.
But from various signs, what happened here looked more like a massacre.
"Damn it! If we could have used spells and talents directly, we wouldnât have let him get away!"
A short witch, carrying a Faith Gun as tall as herself, met up with her companions and couldnât help but complain while flicking her tail.
But the Sea Demon Witch next door didnât offer any comforting words, and seemed used to the short witchâs ways, mercilessly poking holes in her argument.
"If it wasnât for your inaccurate shot, even without spells and talents, you could have finished him off.
Moreover, weâve achieved our objective already. Him scurrying back actually fits our mission requirements, and might even provoke a stronger response, like drawing out their 5th-tier Lord troops."
"I was just saying...
You have to understand, how uncomfortable it is after restricting Cat Witchâs Space Transmission!
I felt totally out of it.
And that shot, I didnât mean to miss! It was my first time using it in combat...
I just hatched and ran over here with you, and you canât even give me a little comfort..."
The short witch defended herself proactively, looking aggrieved, as if needing to be coaxed to feel better.
The other witches nearby found themselves in a dilemma, wanting to watch the drama but not wanting to be drowned in the coupleâs affection.
However, another Sea Demon Witch was already immune to the Cat Witchâs coquettish behaviour.
"Firstly, laying an egg was because you lost a fight to me, and secondly, wasnât it you who wanted to come to the Battle Zone?"
"Hmph, donât bring up sore points, hey!"
Cat Witch turned away, pretending to be angry, but soon, a tentacle appeared in front of her. Following it, she saw it was connected to the Sea Demon Witch she had been bickering with.
"What, if you want to bite, just hurry up."
The Sea Demon Witch was expressionless.
Whether it was the influence of the Sea Demon Witchâs talent, or her superpower, she always seemed cold as ice.
But that was exactly what Cat Witch liked; she looked up at the Sea Demon Witchâs cool face under the sunlight.
She didnât usually allow herself to bite her tail, but this time she was so generous.
Knowing this was her way of offering comfort, she felt touchedâshe still had a place in her heart!
With moved feelings and mouth watering, Cat Witch closed her eyes and went for a bite, but...
If nothing went wrong, something was about to go wrong...
"Is it Lord Fan Maoâs people?! Too great! Thank you for saving us!
We..."
A voice clearly not belonging to a witch rang out from afar.
The captain of this witch squad, the Sea Demon Witch, immediately switched to work mode and went to greet the newcomers.
And with her departure, her tail was naturally pulled away.
Crack!
The crisp sound of teeth colliding was heard.
The Cat Witch, whose attack missed, nearly fell over.
Fortunately, thanks to the Cat Witchâs exceptional balance, she managed to stand firm again, looking very displeased.
Yet she knew to keep her priorities straight, so even though she was fuming, she suppressed her little temper, ready to plan her revenge after going home.
She had to let the little sea demon at home know how formidable the Cat Witch was! She would restore the Cat Witchâs dignity!
This time, she wouldnât let herself be bullied again, with a defiant meow!
The Cat Witch vowed in her heart, putting on a serious face and moved closer, formally entering work mode.
And the person who had just run over and shouted seemed to realize he had interrupted something.
Crap, I hope I donât end up being torn apart by these witches...
But seeing that the witches had already switched into work mode, he didnât dare to bring it up again and had to continue despite feeling awkward:
"Thank you for your assistance; we would have been in dire straits without your timely arrival, haha.
Especially thanks to Miss Cat, your shot was incredibly precise!
In the midst of such a fast-paced battle, to hit his head with a single shot!
And the power of that gun, too; it was seriously strong. The enemyâs Hero Unit had 5th-tier strength, and our weapons couldnât breach his defense.
I couldnât believe that your single shot managed to pierce right through his superpower protection and instantly kill him!
If it wasnât for your shot saving me, I probably wouldnât be standing here.
May I ask what your mission is? We are fully willing to cooperate with you!"
Although he couldnât tell who had fired the shot during the battle, it was an unmistakable sniping.
Being a Combat Unit who also handled Firearms, he had the eye to recognize this.
Among the kemonomimis present, only the short Miss Cat carried a sniper rifle.
Obviously, it was her doing.
And it was also to flatter Miss Cat, to make up for his own earlier rashness.
Moreover, his flattery wasnât entirely false; most of it was genuine.
Especially regarding the weapons carried by these kemonomimis, he truly admired them.
As someone who also relied on Firearms, they had encountered Magic Weapons beforeâeven buying 5th-tier Magic Guns from Landon.
But even when they shot at a 5th-tier Hero Unit, their 5th-tier Magic Gun could only cause significant damage, but it was still resisted by the superpower.
However, the Magic Firearms in the hands of these kemonomimi were completely different.
Apart from the instant kill sniper shot, even their subsequent firepower suppression easily penetrated the opponentsâ defenses.
