All Time Marksman

Chapter 42 - Battle At The Alley

"Alright, we are going to halt here for a moment. Fang Shirong I want you to scout ahead and use a skill that can increase your agility and speed. I'll be checking your back with my Rifle"

Jin said as he knelt down and aimed at the marketplace while Fang Shirong nodded and dashed forward to the location near the marketplace. Fang Shirong then jumped on the garbage can and then jumps he then grabs a stone slab and pulling himself up. And then getting over a balcony after that he used his binocular to see a few meters if there are movements.

{Radio: This is T5-II currently the information has been laid out correctly sir enemy spotted and they are currently moving towards the location which we are going, sir.}

``dammit, I need to use the old strategy in the book divide and conquer.``

{Radio: this is T1 all clear stay there, for now, lay low and be my eyes for overwatch over.}

{Radio: T5-II copy that Sir. T5-II out}

Jin stood up and slowly move into the slight alleyway that is connecting their location towards their main mission point. Jin saw the 3 users.

{Radio: this is T1 be advised that the 3 users are all pyrokinesis users.}

"Dang, pyrokinesis those are hot-headed people. Most of the people I know that have pyrokinesis are hot-headed individuals. they mostly get their fiery flames from anger." Qi Meili whispered as they saw the 3 users walk past by the alleyway luckily they were not spotted by the 3. Jin continued to walk straight and aiming his XDR-rifle at the front.

His finger is on the trigger and just waiting for it to be pulled and fired. Jin then leans on the wall when they reach the end of the alley. They saw that the 3 pyrokinesis users change routes and it looks like they were also patrolling finding the group of Jin. And suddenly the clone 2 of Fang Shirong radioed.

{Radio: This is overwatch, T1 the enemy is closing to your location. the current number of enemies 1 and in just a few meters apart the second enemy is also walking. over}

{Radio: Copy that overwatch. T1 out}

And when Jin learned about that information he sighs for a moment and then kneels, both Qiao Jiao, Han Zian, and Qi Meili were confused and were shocked at what the squad leader will do. "Han Zian when I roll at the middle cast a Divine cross for heal, and when I fire Qi Meili attack the second enemy further back with penetrating arrow. After fire Qiao Jiao you go attack the enemy with Defiant and Iron Slash.

Do you guys understood that?" Jin looked at them as he turned his head at the back. All of them nodded as a response, Jin dashes forward and then rolled himself in the middle and aims his XDR-rifle at his finger at the trigger."Deep Breath" Jin whispered [Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Dual Burst]

And quickly Han Zian raised his holy book and a Divine Cross drops near Jin and healing properties take effect. Jin pressed the trigger and the compact force that is generated and materialize at the end of the barrel fired.

*Phewww* the first fire of the Dual burst was the initial damage. And it was targeted at the enemy that is nearer to them. And the pyrokinesis user did not expect that there was an enemy in front of him he was surprised and it was too late to dodge the income beam of light laser. And followed that an explosion happened.

But Qi Meili was able to draw an arrow "Penetrating Arrow" and lets go of the string of the bow and the penetrating arrow ability skill fired. *Swoosh* and followed to that Jin pressed the trigger once again and the XDR-rifle fired

*Pheww* and after that two kinds of explosion happened. The first explosion was the penetrating arrows attribute to fire which is when fire to fire is to meet an explosion will erupt the second explosion was the dual burst ability skill.

All of them sigh as they saw that in front of them is the thick black smoke and

some fire because of the explosion. Jin stood up quickly and said, "We need to get out of here and proceed to the direction of the main mission location." Jin exclaimed as he began to move. All of them replied "Yes, Sir" ``As of the moment we already defeated two users. We just need to fight the last pyrokinesis and we are in a balanced condition in this marketplace.``

But as they tried to step from the alleyway a fireball exploded near the exit of the alleyway. "Shi- they have found us. Han Zian expects a lot of skills hope your Ability power will not that drain that much" Jin exclaimed. Han Zian replied "Don't worry Sir. I got this."

"Alright take cover and avoid being seen by the pyrokinesis user." Jin reloaded his XDR-rifle and tried to find in which direction did the enemy fireball come from and from that direction Jin can be able to trace back the enemy.

``I just need to use some new skill`` Jin smirked and knelt down as they are getting bombarded by fireballs. Jin whispered "Zero Eye Blue Bullet" after Jin said that. Jin left eye changes and became a crosshair like a retina and Jin's vision can see through buildings and can detect the enemy by their heat signatures.

Jin also has a whole place under his power so with every movement Jin can easily notice that. Jin saw that the pyrokinesis user is on the 2nd-floor balcony of a house at the end of the street. Jin whispered "Unequip" and his vision change back to normal. Once again Jin grips his XDR-rifle and sighs "Life Line Blue Bullet" and a blue tab appeared in front of him.

[Bullet Heir: Ability of the Blood Bullet has been activated] [Activating: LifeLine Blue Bullet] {Increase in penetration of each 60 bullets at the magazine. Normal bullets have now increased damage]

``Now let's see if we can finish this mission.`` Jin looked at Han Zian and said "Cover me once I run outcast a divine cross at the middle of the street. Qi Meili uses Volley to fire at the enemy you will see. Qiao Jiao, you are to support of them."

All of them nodded as a reply. Jin counted to 3 secs and when it reaches 3 he runs out of the alley and when he turned his head to the left he saw a huge fireball that is being increased in size. "I guess I really need to kill you" Jin whispered and the pyrokinesis user throws the fireball towards Jin's location.

"Oh well let's fight that huge fireball heading towards me," Jin exclaimed as he raised his XDR-rifle. Han Zian raised his book once again and then he shouted "Divine Totem!" and a Divine totem suddenly drops from the sky it created dust smoke but quickly fades away. After Han Zian cast that he shouted once again.

"Divine Cross!" and it also dropped from the sky. And from that Jin was able to heal himself from the pain. But the huge fireball is getting closer and closer to him.

But then a light kind of shield has been quickly producing by the divine totem and when the fireball clashed with the shield light transparent wall of the Divine totem the fireball dispersed from the side and above. As if Jin look at the fireball engulfs the shield but it did not hurt him. It was an amazing skill by Han Zian. "Well done!" Jin shouted and aimed his XDR-rifle. [Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Ray Gun Burst]

Jin pressed the trigger and the compact force that is being generated at the barrel of the XDR-rifle was different if gives out a fiery force that even makes Jin barrel red because of its temperature as it rises. Jin pressed the trigger and the beam of red light fired targeting the location of the pyrokinesis user. After that, an explosion erupted where the pyrokinesis user was standing. After the explosion, the place was engulfed by flames. Jin smirked and said "I thought the fire was your anger, I guess anger also burns hot"

[Inside the control panel]

"Sir, at this point they can secure the second point of the patrol sir. And to be honest they did a great job on eliminating the 3 users." One of the control officers looked at the officer-in-charge. But when he looked at the officer in charge, the face of the officer in charge was rather the same since the start. There was no expression of joy or excitement or even anger.

As of now the control officer stayed quiet and goes back into controlling the scenario from the control panel. And the officer in charge said "I want monsters spawning near the second patrol location.

Make them tired to delay their movements to finish the simulation if they succeed on to that mission. Make a final attack. To them and crush that squire squad. If they still survive then put them into the 5 remaining slots for the last phase of the training."

But the control officer replied with a look of disappointment. ``Hope they can survive the increase of monsters on the simulation grounds.`` the control officer slowly increases the number of monsters on the panel in front of him.

"Sir, for what I know in the doctrine they still need to pass 2 more training missions before being put to the 5 slots." The control officer said politely. But the officer in charge looked at him with intense pressure. "Well then, that will be good.. But still, input my order" after that the officer in charge grins.
