Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Fighting the black robe people (1)

"Providing Support to Celestial Swordkeeper is important. Otherwise, he might fall too soon, causing our enemies to reinforce their allies stealing the vehicle.

This will prove catastrophic for us. Hence, we have decided to send Devil Gunner and Dark Knight to help him," Kevin announced, his gaze falling on Vincent and Dark Knight.

Upon hearing their names, they knew that they couldn't refuse. Well, Vincent didn't have any problem with this arrangement. As for Dark Knight, he was hesitant but it wasn't enough for him to reject the commands from his superiors.

Eventually, both of them nodded their heads, signaling their approval

"Then head out right now," John exclaimed, his voice carrying seriousness.

Upon hearing this, they didn't waste any time and headed straight towards Myles's direction.

As for the others, they also headed towards the vehicle. Hence, going their separate ways.

At the same time.

Myles quickly put the device away after firing the gun, knowing that help would arrive soon. As for using it as a weapon?

What a joke, bullets were currently raining down upon him! He didn't have the luxury to stop to aim towards his enemy!

The damage output of this gun was also questionable. Hence, he didn't even dare to use it as a weapon.

"I need to use what I am good at to defeat them," Myles thought to himself while staring at the gunners.

His current target was taking out the gunners since they were the ones who posed the biggest threat to him.

As for those who wielded melee weapons, they couldn't even touch him with his speed. Hence, he was confident in his ability to defeat them.

"How should I finish them off?" Myles thought to himself.

His mind began to race as he began to think of a way to kill the gunners. He didn't dare to think about charging towards them. Since their eyes were constantly on him, he would be riddled with bullets if he dared to take this approach!

In the end, he couldn't think of an idea to get rid of the gunners. Hence, he was forced to settle for a simple yet time-consuming solution.

"I guess I have no choice but to use this technique," Myles thought to himself as he dodged the attacks of the enemy.

His idea was quite simple. Instead of just charging in a straight line, he planned to move at an unpredictable path. This will make it difficult for them to shoot him down.

Even though the technique seemed time-consuming. He didn't think that way.

"Either they will run out of bullets, or I will fall first," Myles thought to himself.

He refused to believe that they had infinite ammunition. They will run out Sooner or later. They were openly firing at him for 3 minutes straight! He believed by now they would have exhausted half of their supplies or at least close to it!!

Similarly, he wasn't naive enough to believe that he could dodge every single bullet.

He was bound to get shot once or twice, hence accumulating wounds on his body.

Currently, his HP is around 17, and he is pondering whether to drink a healing potion or not. He soon made a decision.

"Let's drink one" Myles mumbled as he kept dodging the bullets.

He quickly retrieved a mana potion from his inventory and gulped it down. As the potion took effect, the wounds on his body began to rapidly heal, and a notification flashed across his retina.

(You have gained 30 HP

Current HP: 47)

He ignored the notification flashing in his retina. He locked onto his next target, who was standing not too far away from him. His target was standing near another gunner.

"I can probably take the two of them out at the same time," Myles thought to himself as he kept dodging the bullets.

Just a few seconds later, he started to make his way toward the two gunners who were not standing too far away from him.

His enemies seemed to have read through his intentions so one of them quickly issued a command.

"All the gunners spread out so that he can't take the three of you out at the same time!!" The guy wielding a sword shouted his voice carrying seriousness

Upon hearing this, the gunners obeyed his commands and created distance between themselves. Hence, closing the opportunity to take the three of them out at the same time.

"Tsk, I need to take them out one by one, '' Myles mumbled.

Nonetheless, he shook his head and tried his best to close the distance between them.

He charged towards them but he couldn't get too close to them due to them openly firing at him without a care in the world.

As he charged forward, he was starting to feel a bit tired signaling that his stamina was dropping!

"I need to finish this quickly," Myles thought to himself

He tried his best to get close to one of the gunners. But as he tried to get close, some bullet grazed past his skin. He felt serious pain in his body. He just gritted his teeth and charged forward, knowing that slowing down would prove catastrophic for him.

"I need to continue charging forward," Myles thought to himself.

"Why don't you just die!!" A gunner shouted, his voice carrying frustration.

He ignored their taunts and tried his best to close the distance between them. During the process, some bullets grazed past his skin, causing wounds to slowly accumulate on his body. Notification flashed in his retina but he ignored them like they didn't even exist.

All of a sudden the sound of gun firing stopped all of a sudden. This caused Myles to quickly take a look at the gunners.

He shone like a star in the skies due to what he saw!! The enemies had ceased fire for some reason!!

Hesitation was visible on the faces of the gunners.

"They have probably run out of ammo or. very low on it!" Myles thought to himself, his voice carrying excitement.

The chances of this happening were very high. Since the gunners were aware of the consequences of cease-firing, there was practically no reason for them to do this!

Whatever the reason might be, Myles had no intention of letting this golden opportunity slip from his hand.

Even though it was risky, it was a risk worth taking. Since he would probably die if he didn't take any action. It was much better to die while trying!!

Hence, he quickly charged forward in a straight line, closing down the distance at a rapid speed.

Seeing this, the guy wielding a sword quickly issued a new command.

"Don't worry about ammunition. Open fire at will and just kill this bastard" The man said, his voice carrying seriousness.

Although the gunners remained hesitant, they still obeyed his commands and pointed their guns towards him.

"It's far too late" Myles exclaimed, his voice carrying seriousness.

His sword was just a few cm away from hitting a gunner. Even though the chances of him being killed by the other gunners were high. At the very least, he will take one with him!!.

Hence, he swung his sword towards the heart of the enemy, intending to claim his life.

His sword passed through the heart of the enemy like a knife passing through the butter. The gunner let out a scream of pain as he started to bleed heavily.

"Ahahah!!!" The gunner screamed.

Myles practically ignored the screams of the gunners. He mercilessly pulled out the sword from his heart, causing blood to come out like water coming from a large crack in the dam.

The eyes of the gunner began to turn lifeless as he soon started to show signs of collapsing.

Just a second later, Myles heard the sound of a gunshot from behind him causing him to look behind. He saw dozens of bullets charging toward him at an incredible speed, causing a look of despair to form on his face

"I need to avoid getting riddled by bullets or else it might prove fatal for me!!," Myles mumbled, sounding helpless
