Chapter 20
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three shots but only one drone missile was taken down.
However, that is not Parker's concern.
'Meta's voice and behavior changed.'
Parker noticed it after Meta saved their ship from crashing headfirst. However, he did not think much. He thought it is just a lag in the system. But when Meta called him, he began to doubt.
The times when Meta spoke could be counted with one hand. In fact, it is as if Meta never spoke at all.
'It's not a system lag, right? System lag only happens for a short time, but this… impossible. System lag could not cause that much change.'
"Parker, what are you doing? It would not cause you harm if you miss, right?" Meta said.
'There, Meta does not sound like Meta again. Meta would never say those things. But fuck, that damned robot is right. But I shall not let you pass. Just you wait.'
Parker then aimed his Fire God's Wrath and shoot toward one of the drone missiles heading towards them.
Bang!
One shot one kill!
Indeed, Parker managed to shoot one missile down with one bullet.
"The heck, you're better than me?" Meta asked in shock. Or rather, Smith asked in shock.
Smith could not believe that Parker is better than him. After all, he made a lot of calculations, but his success rate is only about thirty percent.
Meanwhile, Parker could not help but puff his chest when he heard what Smith said.
"I always am, Meta. You should polish your gears first before thinking of contending with me. Hehe!"
After saying it, Parker aimed his Fire God's Wrath again while thinking, 'perhaps this Meta is better than the cold one.'
"Lucky strike. That's a lucky strike."
Of course, Smith's ego would not let him admit defeat. 'Fuck! I used many accurate formulas. You can't defeat me. That's a lucky strike.'
At the same time, Smith also began to aim as he was about to shoot his next shot.
Bang!
However, before Smith shoot his shot, Parker went first.
"Hehe, I don't think you'll hit a missile," Smith smirked.
And, just as Smith said, Parker indeed missed.
"Hahaha, lucky shot, indeed."
Smith is relieved that Parker did not hit any of the drone missiles.
However, although Smith thought of that, he did believe that Parker is a sharpshooter. But… is it because of the distance of the drone missiles that caused a deviation in the trajectory of the bullets? Perhaps… but they could not say for sure.
Well, distance is indeed a great excuse.
"Phew, I think we should get closer," Parker said.
Although he indirectly said it, Smith knew that the man is looking for an excuse and the distance is indeed the easiest target.
"Hmm, perhaps. But… why is it that your first shot is not affected by the distance?" Smith said as he looked at Parker amusingly.
Of course, Parker knows what Smith is indicating. This time, he shoots another bullet.
"Hehe, my first strike always hits."
Parker seemed to be in this situation a lot of times already. He is not affected by it. Instead, he took his aim and prepared to waste another bullet.
"Parker, you're aiming again? That's a waste of bullets. Just stay still and let me do the work."
Bang!
Parker shoots again, but the result is still the same. However, Parker seemed to be already used to it.
"Hmm, fuck distance."
Smith is speechless when he heard that. It is okay to use distance as an excuse. But on the second time, that is rather embarrassing.
Meanwhile, a while later, Parker shoots another bullet, and the result…
"Shit, the distance!"
Now, that's no longer an embarrassment but rather a shamelessness. And that made Smith unable to take it anymore.
"Watch and learn. I will show you what a true sharpshooter is."
Smith then aimed with his Armageddon toward one of the drone missiles.
Bang!
A bullet was shot. Then…
Bang!
Another bang was heard, which made Parker silent. 'Shit, is that a lucky shot?'
The first band is from Smith's Armageddon. Then, the second is from the explosion when the drone missile was hit.
Parker wanted to say that it is a lucky shot. But Smith had already hit one missile a while ago.
Meanwhile, Smith carelessly swings his Armageddon as he faced Parker. And at that moment, an accident happened.
Bang!
A bullet was shot.
Fortunately, it did not cause damage to their ship. Rather, it shoots toward the remaining three missiles. And miraculously…
Bang
… another bang was bang was heard.
"Miracle shot?"
Indeed, that's the only thing Parker could think of. Well, what else could that be if it is not a miracle shoot?
However, Smith will not agree that it is a miracle shot.
"No, my friend. That is a masterpiece of a sharpshooter."
With that, Smith began to brag.
"As you can see, there is no such thing as a miracle shot or a lucky strike for a real sharpshooter like me. Ha! Those words did not exist in my vocabulary."
"All of my hits are shot with extreme precision. It is impossible for me to miss. In fact, I can hit you from a mile away."
Parker very much wanted to retort, but his mouth did not seem to have the strength to speak. 'Such shamelessness.'
Shameless indeed, but Smith had the capital to be shameless.
Meanwhile, Smith then lifted his Armageddon and put it on his shoulders while facing inside the D-Link plane.
Then…
Bang!
Another shot was made.
"Please don't hit! Please don't hit! Please don't hit!"
When Parker heard it, he immediately prayed that it would not hit. But to his disappointment, in the next second after shoots, another bang was heard.
Bam!
Aside from the bang, a bam was also heard as Parker fell to the floor. That is three consecutive shots! His fragile heart could not take it. 'Freak! This robot is a freak. Maybe Meta has a sniper code. Yes, that's it. He must have a snipper code.'
Fortunately, Smith is not a human. Otherwise, Parker could not find an excuse for the three consecutive shots and would fall under depravedness that would make him unable to recover for the rest of his human life.
"Parker, only one drone missile left. I especially left that for you," Smith said with a gentle smile.
However, for Parker, that smile is very terrifying. It seemed to be the devil's smile trying to lure him into the abyss.
'Fuck…' He did not want to take the shot. But Smith's smile made him unable to reject.
"O… Ok. Can… can you wait for a… a while?" Parker said while stuttering.
However, not only his tongue is shaking but also his hands.
He could not properly aim his Fire God's Wrath.
"Hmm… Parker, what's wrong? Are you sick?"
Smith did not let this opportunity go. But what Parker said next made him speechless.
"Yes, I think I am sick."
That's unexpected. Smith is expecting Parker to say that he could go on.
"Eh? Erm… really? Then, you should relax for a while. There will be more in the next second. I might need your 'skills'."
'Shit! Am I not yet embarrassed enough?' Parker could not help but curse when he heard Smith. But he could only nod.
Meanwhile, Smith no longer cared about him. Instead, he looked at Mad Hat Camile and said, "can you two pilot the plane? Things are about to get rough."
For a while, Scarlet and Mad Hat Camile are stunned. They are yet to move on to the scene for a while ago.
Well, who wouldn't? What Smith did are three consecutive shots.
"I thought I am already numb with Parker's skills. But it seemed…"
"Yes, boss. Me too."
Scarlet and Mad Hat Camile said unconsciously. However, that did not affect Parker.
"Meta is a robot. A robot. He has a sniper code."
By this time, Parker had already moved on. Well, that's only because he clings on to the excuse that he made that Meta has a sniper code.
"Mad Hat Camile, you both can pilot the plane, right?"
Meanwhile, for the second time, Smith asked again.
"Yes!"
This time, the two ladies are no longer dazed.
"Good then. Follow the arrows. We'll face the enemy planes head-on."
"What?" Mad Hat Camile wants to retort. But for some reason, she felt that Smith's tone should not be defied.
It seemed to be akin to the decree of an emperor.
While Mad Hat Camile is dazed for a while, Smith aimed again and shoots toward the last drone missile.
Bang!
This time, the last drone missile is already close to them. But this only made Smith's shot a sure kill. Well, this is to be expected. After all, Smith is a sharpshooter.
Bang!
Indeed, just as expected, Smith hit the last drone missile making it explode into smithereens just like the other drone missiles that he shot.
"Mad Hat Camile! Full thrusters into the enemy plane!"
After the shot, Smith immediately reminded Mad Hat Camile.
Then, the next thing that happened is that their D-Link plane is already turning three hundred sixty degrees into the enemy plane.
