Chapter 509 Soul Eater
The blue flames are burning and changing.
Two figures that moved quickly and changed their positions were looming under the blue flames.
Davy Jones's mage robe had several holes in it, and the wound on his left arm was oozing blood, with some burnt marks on the edges.
That is the burn left by the magic energy bullet.
Fortunately, he was lucky at the time, otherwise it would have been more than just a scratch.
David's chest rose and fell violently, and he could clearly feel the sting in his soul getting a little deeper.
On his robe and exposed skin, there was a layer of blue flame like a gauze attached to it. As he moved, it kept changing its shape, but it could never be shaken off.
Obviously, it is very difficult and painful for him to engage in high-intensity gun battles while enduring the pain of blue flames burning souls.
What makes him even more depressed is that this is a battle in which the losses far outweigh the gains.
Even if he kills Sarah in the end, what will he gain?
Those bounty hunters will definitely not surrender to him.
The so-called [Spell Bottle] is simply a trap, unnecessary.
Think about it this way. The best he could get was a Fire Knife.
What use would he make of a broken pirate ship?
And the price he has to pay is permanent mental damage.
This may even prevent him from being promoted to a sixth-level mage in the future.
When he thought of this, David felt extremely painful, and his anger and hatred for Sarah became even deeper.
The beauty and charming figure that I thought were endearing now seem to be extremely hateful.
Thinking like this, he locked his eyes on Sarah, who had said nothing from the beginning to the end and just launched an offensive.
Her situation was even worse: her right leg was twisted unnaturally, and her left shoulder was collapsed, which was caused by the shock wave of the dragon scale bullet.
In addition, the blood that kept pouring out from the corner of her mouth condensed into blood beads on her chin, and occasionally one or two drops hit the gun of [Good Luck] with a soft clicking sound.
But even so, her right hand holding the gun was as steady as a rock, and the muzzle of the gun was always pointed at David's head.
The severe pain caused by her soul being repeatedly bitten by the blue flames made her eyes look frighteningly bright, like a lone wolf that was about to die but still clung to its prey.
The ground has long been plowed with holes by bullets from both sides, and blue flames are constantly shooting out of the cracked gaps, casting the shadows of the two people in and out.
Ten minutes have passed since the battle started.
The erosion of the soul by the blue flame has exceeded David's expectation.
He now has to endure soul-rending pain every inch he moves.
The power of [Topaz Annihilator] is indeed powerful, but he has never engaged in such a primitive battle: he cannot use his mental power to guide the trajectory of the bullet, and his accuracy only relies on his aiming when shooting.
Having held the [Topaz Annihilator] in his hand for so many years, he felt as if he was a young novice for a long time.
What made him even more irritated was that Sarah, who was in the same situation as him, had terrifyingly accurate shooting skills.
Even if his soul is damaged and his aim is affected, every magic energy bullet bites into his vitals like eyes.
This forced him to rely on constant spells and the extraordinary equipment he carried to eat mana bullets many times.
This way.
Sarah adjusted her rapid breathing slightly, [Good Luck] aimed her gun at David's head, and pulled the trigger again.
The light-forged flower blooms!
【Good Luck】Spit out several magic bullets.
David hurriedly rolled to avoid it, and the bullet grazed his ear and shattered a rock.
Flying stone chips brushed against his cheek. Fortunately, he had the [Mage Armor] to block the damage.
As a counterattack, David angrily pulled the trigger of [Topaz Annihilator], and the ash vortex at the muzzle rotated rapidly.
Sarah on the other side reacted almost as soon as he pulled the trigger, moving her body sideways.
Seeing this, David was already not surprised.
The bullet missed as expected.
However, David laughed ferociously, with a calculating light flashing in his eyes.
Because from the beginning, his target was not Sarah, but the crack under her feet.
With a bang, the dragon scale bullet caused a huge impact and created a deep crater on the ground.
The flowing blue flame then burst out from this gap.
David wants to use the explosion to cause the blue flame to erupt, thereby causing damage to Sarah through the blue flame.
It was unrealistic, at least for him, to hit the fast-moving Sarah without the mental power to guide the trajectory.
This is the style of play suitable for "newbies" like him.
The rubble mixed with blue flames exploded where Sarah was just now, turning into several blue pillars of fire that shot straight into the sky and scattered like heavy rain.
The cold blue flames splashed out and inevitably fell on her body.
The burning pain in her soul suddenly intensified, as if countless ice needles were piercing her mind at the same time, causing her to stagger a few steps when she landed.
The soul that has been invaded by the blue flame for so long is like a camel being crushed by the last straw.
The sharp pain in her soul made Sarah's consciousness blur for a moment, and her movements were momentarily sluggish. Her right leg softened, and she knelt down on one knee on the gravel with a "pop". She could no longer maintain her standing posture.
How could David miss this rare opportunity?
The muzzle of the gun was adjusted almost as soon as Sarah knelt down, and the trigger of [Topaz Annihilator] was pulled again.
This time, the bullet hit Sarah's chest without any deviation.
He may not be able to hit the moving target, but he is still 100% sure of this fixed target.
By the time Sarah came to her senses, the dragon-scale bullet with a destructive aura was already close at hand.
In this moment of life and death, the only thing she could do was to use her last strength to turn sideways and avoid the vital points as much as possible.
The target of the dragon scale bullet was moved from her chest to her arm.
All protective spells that Sarah can maintain through [Spell Constancy], including the extraordinary equipment that she carries with her that automatically triggers protective spells, are triggered.
The light of the spell lights up layer by layer.
But as an extraordinary combat artifact, the bullets fired are too powerful.
The layers of protective spells were easily shattered like glass, and finally fell on Sarah's right arm.
It did not cause a huge explosion like it had just hit the ground. The moment the dragon scale bullet came into contact with flesh and blood, it was annihilated like fly ash, leaving only a small blood hole.
However, Sarah's pupils shrank suddenly, an expression of extreme pain appeared on her face, and her body began to tremble violently uncontrollably.
"Sarah, it's over." David's voice was as hoarse as sandpaper being rubbed, but it was filled with unquestionable determination and insidiousness.
He admired the "prey's" final struggle.
The most peculiar thing about [Topaz Annihilator] is that when it hits a creature, the bullet will be annihilated silently. There will be no blood splattering on the wound, but dendritic amber crystal clusters will spread from the hit point.
It is also called topaz crystallization.
The topaz crystal will quickly extract all the water and life energy from the target within three seconds, carbonize the target's fresh flesh and blood bit by bit, and finally collapse it into ashes.
means to annihilate.
David saw the amber crystal cluster that began to grow rapidly on Sarah's right arm, with a ferocious smile on his face.
In his opinion, the victory of this battle should be decided by now.
But David's smile suddenly froze as soon as it opened.
The amber crystal clusters on the right arm are spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the skin quickly loses blood color wherever it passes.
However, there was no despair in Sarah's eyes, but as calm as a piece of ice.
Her left hand reached into her arms like lightning, took out a very small crystal ball, and crushed it gently.
There was a crisp sound of "click", and the crystal ball shattered. The golden liquid contained in it seemed to come alive, dripping from her fingers onto the amber crystal cluster on her right arm.
Zhila!
The moment the liquid touched the amber crystal cluster, light golden smoke immediately rose.
The edges of those crazily growing crystal clusters seemed to have been poured with strong acid, melting and dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye, and blood began to appear under the originally gray-black skin.
“How is that possible?” Davy Jones exclaimed.
Ever since he obtained [Topaz Annihilator], this ultimate move has been tried and tested repeatedly. He has never seen anyone or any method that can reverse "Annihilation".
Unfortunately, Sarah was not prepared to give him an answer.
Furthermore, her eyes showed the strongest killing intent so far in the battle.
At the moment when she crushed the crystal ball, Sarah's hand dropped down and slid to the edge of the leather on the left side of the holster. Her movements were smooth and fluid, without any hesitation.
Hence, at this moment, she already had an extra weapon in her hand.
A dark, seemingly backward and primitive flintlock pistol full of wild power.
Magic Fire Spear: 【Doom】
Sarah’s two enchanted guns, of which [Good Luck] provides continuous, precise, and flexible fire suppression and response to conventional threats;
[Misfortune] is a decisive weapon, used to solve the most difficult targets, break deadlocks, and determine victory or defeat.
One is fast, the other is slow, one is cunning and the other is clumsy, one is steady and the other is risky.
【Doom】As a traditional magic fire gun, it has many shortcomings compared to the magic energy gun.
It is synonymous with bulky, inefficient and outdated.
But even the most loyal fans of the magic gun have to admit one thing, that is, the magic fire gun has something that the magic gun can never replace:
The upper limit.
The magic fire gun can only be loaded with one ammunition at a time, and it must be reloaded the next time it is fired.
But compared to the magic energy gun that quickly fires magic energy bullets that are condensed by extracting magic crystal energy, the ammunition loaded in the magic fire gun can be customized and enchanted, with unlimited possibilities.
Special ammunition is the soul and biggest feature of the magic fire gun.
Users can handcraft or customize rare special projectiles.
This makes every shot of the magic fire gun potentially contain a unique and powerful effect, far beyond that of ordinary magic gun shooting. It is a unique and ultimate move that is incomparable under the standardized design of the magic gun.
Common special ammunition, including armor breaking, bleeding, various elemental enchantments and other characteristics.
And the more special ones may even have weird, powerful and highly targeted characteristics such as stun and restraint.
At this time, what Sarah loaded into [Doom] was an extremely special projectile, specially customized for the current situation and David.
His name is "Soul Eater", and it has a total of two characteristics.
One is to lock the enemy.
It will automatically track and lock the breath of life, without the need for additional aiming.
The second is spiritual shock.
After hitting the target, it will cause huge mental shock to the target.
The rune array engraved on the body of the [Doom] gun has the ability to "break demons".
It will give all projectiles fired through [Doom] the effect of breaking magic defense.
Lock the enemy to ensure that the bullet will definitely hit.
Devil Break is used to break David's constant protection spells and the protection spells automatically triggered by extraordinary equipment.
Psychic shock is a killer move. It will add fuel to the fire of Davy Jones whose soul has been damaged and give him a fatal blow.
Bang!
With the mechanical sound of the trigger being pulled, blue-gray gunpowder smoke suddenly rose.
The pungent smell of old-fashioned black powder fills the entire space.
The surging sound of the sea in the distance seems to be resonating with this terrifying weapon and accompanying it.
Davy Jones was able to reach his current status in a place like Black Sails City, which is obviously due to his extremely rich combat experience.
The moment Sarah pulled out the gun, he knew something was wrong.
There was a fierce look in his eyes, and he seemed to have some tricks to suppress the situation.
I saw a sudden ripple on his body, and it became illusory, as if he had become a light and shadow instead of a real person.
But the physical bullet fired by [Doom] was filled with roaring killing intent, and it was shot at Davy Jones regardless of it.
When "Soul Eater" was ten centimeters in front of David, layers of water ripples appeared in the air in front of him.
Suddenly, there was a series of sounds of glass breaking.
Various protective barriers were broken one after another.
The rate of fire of "Soul Eater" was not affected at all, and it continued to roar forward, shooting directly at David's neck.
However, at the moment when he was about to hit, David gritted his teeth bitterly, and the already hazy figure became completely illusory and turned into a mist, unlike the real thing.
Poof!
Useless!
David's tricks were in vain.
The physical bullet landed on the illusory mist, and actually made a dull sound of physical impact.
David's eyes protruded like dead fish, and he froze on the spot, his eyes full of disbelief: "Why is atomization useless?"
"Because this is a bullet specially prepared for you." Sarah struggled to squeeze out the first words of the battle so far from her lips.
"How did you do it, Topaz Annihilator?" David clamped his neck tightly with his left hand, his knuckles turning white from the force, but his eyes when he looked at Sarah were full of confusion, shock and unwillingness.
What he couldn't understand the most was, where did Sarah get the treasure that could reverse the power of "annihilation"?
Sarah slowly lowered her left hand holding [Doom], the muzzle of the gun was slightly lowered by her side, and her eyes were burning with flames that were more boiling than blue flames.
"You are a short-sighted bastard who doesn't care about death. In order to get the [Topaz Annihilator], you brutally killed my mother. Little did you know that my mother alone is worth five [Topaz Annihilator]!"
"That's it." Hearing Sarah's words, David was shocked, and finally understood where Sarah's gesture of perishing together came from: "You are Laura's daughter!"
"Yes, David, blood debt must be paid with blood." Sarah's voice was hoarse due to mental trauma, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, but there was endless joy hidden in it.
"You must have been preparing for this day for a long time"
However, something happened that Sarah did not expect at all.
David, who was clutching his neck and already dying, suddenly put down his hand, let out a weird smile, and opened his palms to Sarah.
Sarah's heart suddenly tightened.
In the palm of David's hand, there lay the "Soul Eater" projectile that was supposed to tear his soul apart and give him a fatal blow!
