The moment Lan Xiao Su pressed the trigger, I chanted a spell, taking advantage of my ability to instacast.
Level One Time Magic - Tempus Decel.
Slowing down the time around her bullet, I was able to dodge it with ease, even with just my human reflexes. Had it been anyone else, this wouldn't have worked, since Tempus Decel is but a Level One spell - the effects aren't too significant. However, with my Chaos power and boosted magic, my spells were now 8 times as powerful as the norm, since I broke through to the third stage of the Chaos energy within my body a while back, after the fight with Plague. Therefore, the bullet was massively slowed down, allowing me to avoid it easily.
The bullet hit the garbage trolleys behind me with a loud click sound, and I didn't even bother looking behind me to see where it landed. It seemed that these bullets were so weak that they couldn't even penetrate a plastic object, such as the garbage trolleys.
