A large amount of energy appeared in front of Wain, which turned into a white bullet. He grabbed it and threw it as hard as possible toward one Firebug. Wain hadn't originally planned to engage in this battle, but he was curious to see what would happen next.

Whoooosh.

The bullet headed toward the Firebug with tremendous speed. It was like a white flash that ripped the monster apart on impact. The bullet pierced the three beetles in a row, as well as the iron tower behind them. The mutated insects were instantly killed, but the tower was also destroyed. Wain ended up killing three monsters and five people.

He saw what happened but felt no emotion. Wain had killed too many in his life to feel sympathy for the random dead.

"Huh, it looks like I'm fighting on the wrong side. I should have aimed a little better, but I couldn't calculate my new power. I need some practice." Mumbled Wain.

While in the World of Darkness, Wain increased his stats considerably. He had to get used to his new power, it took time. Wain destroyed the tower with his throw, even though he had not originally planned to do so. Such a miscalculation could have led to a fatal error in battle, so Wain took it seriously.

Twilight Steel's members were surprised by the sudden attack from afar. Wain was at a great distance from them, so they didn't notice him. Even if they had looked in his direction, Wain looked like a black dot standing on the roof of a building from their vantage point.

Wain nodded and was about to leave. He had no intention of interfering in Twilight Steel's affairs. He had tried out the skill and was about to move on.

Wain approached the ledge and was ready to jump off the building, but suddenly he saw a glint in the distance. Wain reacted instantly and tried to block the attack, but a bullet pierced his shoulder. Wain's face twisted in pain, and drops of blood splattered on the floor.

Whoooosh.

He quickly ducked behind cover, and another bullet flew from his left. At that moment, Wain realized what had happened.

'Looks like this organization has a member with the soul of a sniper, it's interesting... This person was able to wound me despite my stats. A sniper rifle is a formidable weapon, so it's no surprise, but what should I do now?' Wain pondered.

Wain had two options, he could come out of hiding and escape. Wain felt he had to do just that since there was no reason for him to fight. He had to find the rest of the map and the airborne vehicle. The island's appearance was only two months away, and he could not waste time.

One feeling, however, prevented Wain from making a decision. It was greed. He wanted to keep the sniper rifle, it was a valuable and useful trophy. Wain was sure that if he used the Distant Bullet and this type of firearm, the power of this skill would increase many times over.

At first, Wain thought it was an ordinary sniper rifle produced in the gun factories, but he realized that was a mistake.

'Given my Stamina, as well as the strength of my cape, it's impossible for me to be hit by a conventional weapon. Perhaps this bullet was unique, but then the shooter would have had to sacrifice his sniper rifle, as it would not have withstood the recoil of such a bullet. That means the sniper got his weapon from Soul Chest.' Wain pondered.

When he realized that this gun was unusual, his greed increased. Wain grinned wickedly and used the Distant Bullet. He gripped the white bullet tightly and looked out from behind cover. Wain wanted to see the sniper and kill him with one precise throw, but the sniper spotted Wain earlier.

Whoooosh.

The bullet should have hit Wain's head and killed him, but he dodged at the last moment. The bullet grazed him, leaving a deep but not fatal cut on his forehead.

"Bitch!"

...

"Damn, how did he react in time once again?" The girl with the long blond hair muttered grudgingly.

She was the sniper who had been sitting on top of the skyscraper trying to kill Wain.

"Hana!" Said the pumped-up man with the massive bloody sword.

After he dealt with the remaining Fire Bugs, he rushed over to the girl to find out what was going on.

Hana nodded weakly and said, "A man is sitting in the distance who appears to have powerful ranged abilities. I'm trying to wound him seriously, but all I've succeeded in doing is leaving a deep scratch on his forehead."

The man was surprised. He had never seen Hana miss before. Her accuracy was unsurpassed. Thanks to the passive effect of her main soul, there was a unique change with her left eye.

It became as blue as the ocean and looked like a clock face, only without the hands. With this eye, Hana could make super accurate shots and never missed.

"This person is strong, he wasn't able to dodge because he has a special skill or equipment. He was able to survive because of his incredible reaction time and speed. If he gets here, we're in trouble." Hana said.

The man smiled and thrust his sword into the ground said, "Are you kidding me? He may have strong skills, but I can easily handle him in close combat. But, are you sure we should be wasting our time on this?"

Hana frowned, "Are you an idiot? He killed our men, and you want to let him go?"

The man was confused about Hana yelling at him, but he found something to answer.

"Yes... Sure, he killed members of our organization, and now he's our enemy, but try to think of this situation from a different perspective. He killed three Firebugs in one attack. I'm sure if those monsters had stayed alive, they would have killed more people than he did."

Hana answered nothing. She clenched her teeth and stared intently at sight. She understood that her comrade was right, but such thinking was inhumane to her mind.

"Maybe we should still thank him for killing our mates?!" Hana said angrily.

"You're too emotional. Okay, I'll help you kill or capture this man if he decides to attack us. However, if he runs away, I will take care of rebuilding the towers." The man said calmly.

Hana nodded. She didn't want to let Wain go, she felt only hatred and anger toward him, but Hana was also blaming herself for what had happened. She was a minute late, and she couldn't help destroying the Fire Bugs because of that. Hana felt that she was to blame for the deaths of the people.

...

By this point, Wain had made a final decision. He wanted to get his sniper rifle, and he would.

'Chances are I'll encounter a lot of evolved people at their main base, but I don't necessarily have to fight them all. Moreover, the base is probably empty right now. After all, no one but a sniper and a man with a sword came out to defend the towers from the Fire Bugs.' Wain thought.

A lightning sign appeared on his chest the next moment, and he turned into a blue flash.

Bang.

Hana fired immediately, she was sure she would hit this time as she had calculated all possible trajectories. Wain ran down one of them, but the bullet flew behind him. Hana shouldn't have missed because she did everything perfectly, but it was impossible to hit in this situation. Wain was too fast; his speed was abnormal.

He jumped off the top of the building and landed in a crash. Now he could not fear falling, even from such a great height.

Hana noticed this and began to panic, "Hey, this man is crazy! He fell from a five-story building and kept running as if nothing had happened. What's more, he's moving in a zigzag pattern and hiding behind houses. I can't shoot him."

"Damn, Hana! I told you it was better to let him go. It's a real headache..." The man muttered.

He was surprised by Wain's speed but did not panic prematurely. He was sure that the two of them could handle Wain together, especially if he decided to invade their base.

Bang.

Hana fired once more, but her bullet hit Wain's residual image.

"Maybe you'd better get out of here. We have a lot of turrets in the base, and people with Soul Altars activated. He'll have to run away from here or die, but now you're setting yourself up for a hit." Said the man.

"Shut up!" Roughly, Hana replied, and her eye squeezed shut.

The next moment she pulled the trigger. It was the best shot she could make. For the sake of it, she had to hurt her eye, which began to bleed because of the strain, as the blood vessels burst.

Wain saw the glare and tried to dodge it. He accelerated and leaned forward, reaching his maximum. Wain thought the bullet would fly past him, but he noticed the bullet in front of him a moment later, to his surprise.

It was a critical moment in which even a millisecond mattered. Wain physically wouldn't have had time to think of a plan of action in that time, so he trusted his instincts.

Crackle.

Wain opened his mouth slightly and closed it sharply. He crushed the bullet with his teeth like hammers and managed to avoid the fatal wound, but at that moment, the bullet exploded.

The flames from the explosion burned Wain's face and throat, but that could not stop him. He was in great pain, but Wain understood that these wounds were not fatal.

Also, the passive skill was instantly activated, and his flesh began to regenerate quickly.

'Damn, it's a good thing I have Heat Resistant Flesh. Otherwise, my wounds would have been much more serious. These are unusual bullets.' Thought Wain running behind one of the buildings.

'Curse! What was that just now!!! How did he manage to survive that situation!?" Shouted Hana.

She was angry as she saw through the scope what Wain had done. To her, it was delusional. She didn't believe the man could react and crush a bullet with his teeth.

"Hana, you need to get away, he could attack at any moment. Even if you can dodge his attack, he can destroy your weapon. Without it, your firepower will fall away at once." Said the man.

Hana nodded, "Yes, I need to rest. I spent almost all my strength on that last shot."

The girl was about to leave, but suddenly she saw a white projectile flying toward her. She was a sniper and was quite weak physically compared to Wain. Hana did not have time to dodge this attack, but she had a defender.

Whooosh.

The man swung his sword sharply in an attempt to deflect the bullet, but to his surprise, the projectile broke the weapon in two and pierced through his arm. Blood gushed from the wound, and the man dropped the fragment of the sword from his hands.

"Damn, if we don't get out of here now, he'll kill us, too."

Hana frowned, she wanted to kill Wain, but she wouldn't. Hana decided to help her comrade, but suddenly their eyes widened with shock.historical

In the form of blue lightning, they saw Wain destroy the barricades and climb one of the guard towers. No one attacked Wain, for he acted too quickly. The rest of the organization members had not yet understood the situation.

Whoooosh.

Wain bounced sharply off the tower's roof and jumped to the skyscraper on top of which Hana was standing. In seconds, Wain climbed to the top and looked at the stunned girl with a cocky smirk.

"Hi." Wain said smiling, and punched her with his fist.

Hana was startled. An eerie aura emanating from Wain made her tremble with fear. She wanted to dodge, but her legs wouldn't listen to her.

Bam.

Suddenly her comrade appeared in front of her and took the blow. The next moment a loud crunch was heard. It was the man's shattered bones and ribs. Wain's blow was so powerful that they were tossed aside, and Hana dropped her sniper rifle.

Wain smirked, grabbed the firearm, and moved it into the Ring of Damned.

"You bastard!" Hana shouted furiously.

When she saw the grimace of pain on her comrade's face, fear left her heart. She pointed at Wain, and more than ten bullets appeared from the energy around her the next moment.

Hana swung her arm, and the bullets flew at Wain. They were fast and could catch up with anyone, but Wain was too fast. He snapped his finger, and a dark sword appeared beside him.

The next moment Wain's silhouette blurred, and all Hana could see were dark cuts. Then the shattered bullets fell at Wain's feet.

"AHAHAHAH, as expected, you are quite capable." Said Wain and took a few steps closer to Hana.

He grabbed her arm and broke it, then he delivered a precise blow to her shoulder, and he broke several of her ribs. Hana screamed in pain, she couldn't take that. Then Wain broke the man's other arm and leg, after which he turned into blue lightning and disappeared.

Finally, Wain clearly said, "Last Light."

Hana and the man survived, Wain breaking many of their bones but no other serious wounds. Their organs were intact. Of course, Wain didn't decide to spare them out of pity. That was the plan.

He appreciated the strength of these two and was sure it was worth keeping them alive now. Eventually, Gisle was to take over the whole city, and he needed such strong subordinates. Wain had broken many of their bones and taken their weapons so that they would be incapacitated in the near future.

However, the most important factor was not their strength but Hana's eye and ability. Wain was surprised by her accuracy, but he realized Hana's strength was more complex and deeper when he dodged bullets.

'This girl has incredible accuracy, yet then she was able to hit me. If not for my stats and reaction, she would have shot me in the head. Her eye doesn't increase her accuracy. She can see into the future or guess what will happen in the next second.'
