Chapter 365: Magic Scissors Bullet

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Magic Scissors Bullet

Seraphina Sullivan didn’t hesitate for a moment.

Surrounded by her `Fiery Sunflower Guardian God`.

The moment she became completely immune to her opponent’s spiritual interference, the initiative in this battle was firmly in her hands!

She raised the muzzle of her `Universal Sniper Rifle` slightly, its `Spirit Scope` instantly locking onto the distant blonde figure.

Cecilia!

The core `Control` of their team. She had to be eliminated first.

Seraphina didn’t choose the costly `Space Bullet`.

Nor did she opt for a conventional `Fire Bomb` or `Energy Bullet`.

Facing an enemy with strange abilities who was protected by a teammate with powerful armor, she needed something both unexpected and lethal.

Her mind raced.

Seraphina selected a special `Skill`.

`Magic Scissors`!

Her `spiritual power` flooded the rifle’s chamber, and the `Skill`’s model was rapidly compressed, converted, and molded!

A bullet materialized in her mind—it was pure silver-white, small and exquisite, as if woven from countless fine metallic threads.

Its surface shimmered with a strange, cutting luster. The `Magic Scissors Bullet`!

CRACK!

The sound of the shot was faint.

In almost the same instant, Sean Chandler moved!

He let out a low roar as brilliant crystals instantly covered his entire body, transforming him into an indestructible `Diamond Warrior`!

He stomped his feet, and the ground cracked beneath them.

Like a cannonball shot from its barrel, he charged fearlessly toward Alvin, the man in the center of the opposing five-person squad!

He had to tie down their strongest ranged attacker to create a window for Seraphina’s kill shot.

"They’re making their move! Defend!"

Patton roared, holding his giant axe horizontally before him.

"Protect Cecilia!" Lina’s figure flickered and she entered a stealth state, preparing to ambush them at the right moment.

But it was Gru who reacted the fastest!

He was already half-kneeling on the ground, maintaining his `Earth Armor`.

The instant Seraphina’s rifle fired, he had already roared and shot to his feet!

A thick, earthen-yellow light erupted from his body, and his skin rapidly became as rough and hard as granite.

The massive phantom of a `Shield` formed from pure earth `Energy` materialized before him, completely shielding Cecilia from view!

`Earth Armor·Shield of Rock`!

This was the defensive `Skill` he had the most confidence in; it had once withstood the pounce of an elite zombie and even a small explosion!

He firmly believed that this `Shield`, condensed from the `Power of Earth`, was enough to block any ranged attack and buy his teammates time!

However...

WHOOSH!

The silver-white `Magic Scissors Bullet` silently crossed the few hundred meters between them at supersonic speed.

It precisely... struck the solid, earthen-yellow `Energy Shield` in front of Gru!

There was no explosion, no penetration, not even much of a sound.

But the moment the bullet touched the `Shield`, something bizarre happened!

The bullet seemed to "melt" like quicksilver.

It transformed into a strange, silver-white radiance, like liquid metal.

It quickly spread across the `Shield`’s surface, tracing a pattern!

In the blink of an eye, the phantom of a giant pair of silver scissors, glinting with a cold, terrifying light, "materialized" out of thin air on the `Energy Shield`!

The blades of the scissors were positioned right at the `Shield`’s center!

And then—

SNIP! SNIP! SNIP!

A series of sharp, rapid, grating sounds rang out like a string of firecrackers!

The giant phantom of the silver scissors began to snip frantically at high speed, as if it had a life of its own!

Every open and close of the blades left a silver afterimage of the cut!

And under the horrified gazes of Cecilia, Lina, Patton, and even Alvin—who was charging toward Sean Chandler—they saw it:

With every snip of the phantom scissors,

Gru’s incredibly sturdy `Shield of Rock`, which contained the majority of his `Energy`,

was being cut apart like a piece of cloth under a pair of invisible shears.

Crisscrossing gashes were rapidly "snipped" into it!

The edges of the cuts were as smooth as a mirror!

What was even more terrifying was that the scissors continued to snip frantically, moving toward Gru himself.

Seeing this, Gru’s face turned deathly pale.

"No—!" Gru only had time to let out a horrified roar.

SHLICK—!

With a soft sound, like fabric being torn by a sharp blade, a huge gash was effortlessly snipped into Gru’s body, as if he were made of paper-maché!

A continuous "SNIP! SNIP! SNIP!" rang out.

SPLURT!

Blood mixed with shattered organs erupted violently from the horrifying, neatly "snipped" wound in Gru’s chest!

He didn’t even have time to scream, his eyes frozen in sheer, disbelieving horror.

His massive body swayed, then crashed to the ground as if all strength had been drained from it!

His entire body had been snipped into countless pieces by the `Magic Scissors`.

"Gru!" Cecilia cried out, her voice choked with shock.

"My God! What... what the hell kind of `Ability` is that?!"

Patton’s eyes were wide with disbelief.

He had seen `Energy Attacks`, physical penetration, and elemental `corrosion`.

But he had never seen a bizarre attack like this... one that simply "snipped" an `Energy` defense apart like a piece of cloth!

The shocking scene even broke Lina out of her stealth, her figure shimmering into view.

With just the first bullet, Seraphina had completely shattered the enemy’s defensive formation and torn through the `Ironwall` protecting their core member!

The cutting `Effect` of the `Magic Scissors Bullet`—which ignored conventional defenses and directly attacked the "concept" or "structure" of its target—had just displayed its terrifying power!

Gru’s death filled the others with terror at Seraphina’s `Ability`.

"We can’t let her attack Cecilia again!" Patton’s eyes blazed with fury, having seen Gru’s defense effortlessly torn apart by that bizarre "scissors" bullet.

He let out a furious roar and, throwing caution to the wind, activated his `Frenzy` `Talent`!

His already burly frame swelled by another size.

Muscles bulging and eyes bloodshot, he gripped his door-sized great-axe and charged toward Seraphina’s position like a maddened bull!

He would use offense as his defense and interrupt Seraphina’s sniping!

However, he had only taken a few steps when a brilliant figure, radiating a cold and unyielding `Aura`, blocked his charge!

It was Sean Chandler!

He hadn’t gotten tied up with Alvin for long; instead, he had astutely fallen back to defend, intercepting the melee charger who posed the greatest threat to Seraphina!

"Get out of my way!" Patton bellowed, his great-axe sweeping forward with mountain-splitting force!

CLANG—!!!

A crystallized fist slammed violently against the great-axe!

The ear-piercing shriek of colliding metal exploded outwards!

The furious `Power` of the blow shattered the ground beneath Sean Chandler’s feet, but his body remained rooted to the spot, completely unmoving!

A few sparks and minor cracks appeared on his crystal fist, but they were instantly repaired by the flow of `Energy`.

Patton’s charge was brought to a dead stop!

The `Power` he took such pride in had failed to gain any advantage against Sean Chandler’s crystal defense and `Demon Beast` physique!

Seizing the opportunity, Seraphina’s eyes turned icy. Her finger, steady as a rock, squeezed the trigger once more.
