Fatal Shot

Chapter 261: Snipe-Kill!

“Finally, he’s come out!”

Seeing a withered yellow grass patch of half a person’s height outside the forest, Flaming Blazing Flames held his staff as he continued to flee.

He had thought himself clever by luring the “Hunter” behind him into the forest, not expecting that not only had it not widened the gap, it had also allowed the opponent to get even closer instead.

Now, the “Hunter” behind him, wearing sunglasses and with red-glowing eyes, was already less than 20 meters from him.

However, it seemed like he was on the verge of a comeback! For a Fire Manipulator, the withered patch of grass before him was undoubtedly an awesome battleground.

Pu, pu, pu!

He activated a string of Fireball Combo fireballs which exploded on landing. They fell onto the grass behind Flaming Blazing Flames as he ran, and instantly set the grass patch on fire!

The dense yet withered vegetation was like wood meeting fire. The Fire Energy had formed a tall flaming region in just a few seconds, the flames one to two meters in height.

“That should stop you for a while!” Flaming Blazing Flames turned back to look as he ran, smirking.

Knowing how to use the environment to one’s advantage during combat – this was the difference between elite players and master players in the game!

Wh...What?

When he turned back and saw the situation, disbelief could be seen in his eyes.

The tall and burly, completely expressionless “Hunter” holding an Alloy Longsword had actually ignored the blazing flames in front of him. With heavy, unwavering footsteps, he stepped straight onto the burning vegetation, continuing the chase. However, the patch of grass was burning faster than he had imagined, and the Hunter had only taken a few steps before he was engulfed by the flames which had linked up to form a sea of fire.

Does he want to die?

Flaming Blazing Flames’ fleeing footsteps had already slowed down a little.

Damage created by making use of the environment was similarly able to cause damage and was even stronger than the damage of players’”Sea of Fire” skill.

Was the Hunter very self-confident or was he wildly arrogant?

As Flaming Blazing Flames was thinking about what to do next, the Hunter walked out of the area of the “Sea of Fire”.

It was impossible that this fire would have failed to have any effect. The layer of artificial skin on Hunter T-750 had been scorched black. Some parts had been completely destroyed, revealing the metallic color of the mechanical structure inside.

Now Flaming Blazing Flames understood the Hunter’s identity.

Damn it! So these so-called Hunters are actually robots. I didn’t realize!

Flaming Blazing Flames was now very worried, especially after seeing that the Sea of Fire had caused very little damage, apart from some on the surface.

Fire Manipulators actually restricted mechanical creations. Because most parts of mechanical creations or chips had environmental operating conditions and could not operate for too long a period of time in hundreds of thousands of degrees in temperature, thus the temperature of Fire Energy was an extreme restriction to them. Clearly, this Hunter was apparently immune to such flames.

This meant that Flaming Blazing Flames’ skills would be unlikely to damage his opponent.

What also made Flaming Blazing Flames’ face grim was that at that moment, the Fire Energy Forcefield on him had disappeared due to the time being up.

“Damn it!” Flaming Blazing Flames cursed furiously. He could only turn and run. He had no intention of facing this robot in combat.

Suddenly, it felt as if his head was trembling. He felt as though he had been smashed by a heavy hammer. His entire head had jerked uncontrollably backward!

Ping!

-2905!

A yellow-colored weak damage message flashed past his vision.

If it was not for the Rare-Grade headwear on his head that he had obtained from killing a rebel Manipulator, this shot could have completely reduced his HP of only over 3000!

“F*ck, a sniper!” Flaming Blazing Flames cursed once again.

The accuracy of this shot was really a little horrifying. It had actually hit him right in the middle of his forehead, even making his heart tremble!

It was highly likely that the opponent had noticed a while ago, and had attacked the moment his forcefield had disappeared. He must have used the “Precise Shot” or some aiming skill to have shot so accurately.

Flaming Blazing Flames had instantly made a judgment in his heart, after which a vicious look appeared on his face.

You think you can nail me just with a sneak-attack?

The Energy staff in his hand was already glowing. Less than one second later, a blinding white ring of flames had rapidly spread from his body outward to a range of a few meters surrounding him.

“Blazing Ring of Fire!”

This was a life-saving skill he had always kept up his sleeve. It was a rare skill purchased for a high price at an auction.

Although a sniper with a headstart with a rifle was a huge threat to a Manipulator, it was not the case that Fire Manipulators had no power to retaliate.

The 360-degree ring-shaped flames produced by Ring of Fire moves were able to cause great interference in the line of sight of a sniper who was staring at the target through the aiming scope.

As for his Ring of Fire move, it was an upgraded version of the Rare “Blazing Ring of Fire” skill. Not only did it possess strong damage ability, but it also could radiate a very powerful blinding white light at the same time.

Furthermore, the light now was already growing dimmer.

In such circumstances, the sudden appearance of bright white light would definitely take one by surprise.

Once the Blazing Ring of Fire had been unleashed, Flaming Blazing Flames had already hurriedly moved off with all his might, ignoring his endurance depletion as he charged towards another bush area at the edge of the vegetation. He only needed to make use of the few seconds of time bought from using the Blazing Ring of Fire to be able to escape.

Ping!

Another gunshot rang out. His body had only moved less than five meters when a bullet hole appeared in his head!

At the same time, this “-786” blood-red lethal damage had depleted all his remaining HP.

The shot had also hit his forehead with unbelievable accuracy. It was only a millimeter from the landing spot of the previous shot.

How is this possible! Is his vision not affected at all?

This was the last thought in Flaming Blazing Flames’ head as his body radiated death’s white light before he fell onto the ground and a large number of prizes exploded out from inside his backpack.

You have killed a death game opponent.

According to the opponent’s ability evaluation, killing points earned: 150!

On the slope, Feng Luo smirked while holding the still-smoking Barrett in his hand.

His vision had indeed been affected, but it was only his right eye. It had been his left eye behind the Barrett’s aiming scope

When he was shooting just now, he used his right eye to aim while his left eye was closed. Both eyes would not be affected by the brightness of the Ring of Fire move.

When a sniper was shooting, it was fine to close just one eye or to keep both eyes open. However, if both eyes were open, the field of view would actually be even wider, with one eye aiming and the other being able to observe the surrounding situation. This was why most armies required snipers to open both eyes during training.

Of course, for such a level of sniper as Feng Luo, opening or closing his eye did not have much of an effect on him. Whether he closed his other eye was dependent on the combat situation.

This Fire Manipulator’s PK experience was rich, but so was Feng Luo’s.

Once he knew his opponent’s profession, he had already predicted that the opponent would use this move. In the hands of a high-end Fire Manipulator, instantly unleashing “Ring of Fire moves” to interfere with the enemy’s sight and counterattacking was not some secret technique.

Hence when he had realized that he had not finished off the opponent with the first shot, he had already been preparing to face the “Ring of Fire move”, immediately closing an eye.

As such, in the next moment, the opponent’s white ring of fire which was much brighter compared with normal Ring of Fire moves had only affected the sight of his right eye behind the aiming scope.

And to him, there was not much difference in using his left or right eye to aim.

With this considerably short distance, the chance of failing to hit a Manipulator who had not concealed his position at all was almost zero!
