Florida Man in Magus World: Unleashing Liberty and Freedom

Chapter 16: Sixteen Local Men Shot to Death for “Blue-Balling” Armed Florida Man

Should he follow her?

Was this a deliberate trap?

Felix broke into a sweat as the realization hit him. He turned to look at Adam and Roland. Those men had pulled a fast one on him! Fortunately, they, along with Jane, weren't trying to kill him. They were just overly paranoid, like Felix.

Unable to sit still any longer, Felix got up to clear up the misunderstanding with the family. Just as he was about to approach them, Jane stepped in front of him and unbuttoned her upper garment, revealing her cleavage and nipples.

"My lord, we haven't finished what we started in the carriage. How about we go somewhere private while they're having lunch?"

Felix narrowed his eyes and glanced at Roland and Adam, concerned for their safety.

<I detect no threatening creatures in this vicinity.>

Jessica's affirmation brought Felix some relief, but he still had concerns.

'What about the potential for other hidden colleagues or ambushers?'

<I detect 20 human life signatures northwest of here.>

Jessica indicated the area Jane planned to lead Felix to.

Despite the doubts and suspicions, Felix followed Jessica as he had already prepared for anything. One hundred meters deep into the woods, Jessica stopped, turned around, and dropped her clothes and hidden weapons, revealing her perfect assets.

"Come get your compensation, my lord."

Felix gulped, almost forgot about his purposes. He glanced at the radar map to avert his eyes.

The 20 red dots were only 200 meters away. Thus, committing adultery here would be foolish. Despite the temptation, Felix turned away from Jane and walked toward the approaching hostile forces, pulling out the FN SCAR 16s and preparing for combat.

"My lord?" Jane witnessed Felix summoning a strange object out of thin air. She gazed at the assault rifle in shock.

Ignoring Jane's reaction, Felix aimed in the general direction of the hostile entities. Although tall grasses and bushes blocked his vision, he stood firm, glancing at the mini-map HUD screen.

This reminded him of Vietnam War movies. He finally understood how it felt to fight invisible enemies.

Exhaling all the air from his lungs, Felix held his breath and pulled the trigger once.

*BANG*

The gunshot startled Jane. She pulled out a hidden knife and threw needles from the cloth pile, taking five steps backward. Confused, she shouted at Felix.

"What was that?!"

Felix deeply inhaled and counted the red dots on the map. There were still 20 blinking spots. Five seconds later, they dropped to 19.

Bullseye!

Felix raised his eyebrows, amused. He had randomly fired toward the densest group, aiming at the general chest area, but didn't expect to score a kill so quickly. As for the target's movements, they stopped advancing forward but gathered in a circle formation.

With ammo to splurge, Felix licked his lips, crouched behind tall grasses, and adjusted his aim. He prayed and sprayed!

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

Since the semi-auto FN SCAR 16s didn't feature an automatic mode, Felix repeatedly pulled and released the trigger to rapid-fire.

"AAAAHHHH!!"

A loud scream confirmed a hit. Jane heard it and understood the situation. She put on her clothes, kicked off the ground, grabbed a tree branch, and like an expert parkour athlete, swung through the air and charged toward the targets.

Felix cursed her under his breath.

'Idiot! You're going to get into trouble! Why can't you wait here and let me deal with them?!'

Providing Jane with covering fire, Felix kept spraying bullets. He blasted 24 more rounds through bushes and tall grasses toward the general area.

*CLANK*

Felix fired the last cartridge in his magazine. He reloaded, charged the bolt, and glanced at the map. Only 14 red dots remained.

Felix expected the unknown enemies to be panicked or crippled, so he decided to get a better view to properly remove the targets. Walking out of his hiding spot, he pushed through the tall grasses. Emerging from the bushes, he found an animal trail leading straight ahead.

One hundred fifty meters away, a group of red-clothed men in chainmail armor stood in a wall formation, raising their wooden shields and facing Felix. From their reactions, Felix guessed they had already figured out the direction of the attacks. Their uniform also identified them as soldiers from Aero Academy City.

But why were they hostile? Why were they trying to harm him?

Felix thought of Roland and his family, wondering if they were the real targets. Since Jessica marked them as hostile, there was no reason to negotiate. Felix adjusted his aim and scope, locking onto a soldier's face.

*BANG*

The bullet flew straight to the man's forehead, downing him.

"MAAAAAGE!!"

One of the soldiers saw Felix and shouted. The rest were alarmed. Behind the shield wall formation, three archers nocked their bows and aimed at Felix.

*WHOOSH*

Five flying needles whistled through the air from their right, piercing the necks of two archers. One archer got lucky, using his friends as meat shields.

Unaware of the needle thrower, the archer released his arrow.

"FUCK!"

Felix saw the arrow leave his scope's vision. He dropped to the ground as he had been trained. The arrow whistled past and landed a meter behind Felix's feet. Had he stayed in his previous position, it would have hit him in the face.

Adrenaline surged through Felix. Blood rushed to his head, causing him to unleash hell.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

Felix unleashed a barrage of bullets. Powerful projectiles punctured through wooden shields and chainmail, tearing into flesh and vital organs. Five shield bearers collapsed. The rest broke formation and charged at Felix, brandishing their swords.

"KILL THE MAGE FIRST!"

"THERE'S ANOTHER ASSASSIN IN THE TREES!"

Chaotic shouts filled the air, but Felix no longer listened.

Seeing the rushing soldiers, Felix pushed himself up. With his assault rifle running low on ammo, he switched to a shotgun. Holding the bulky weapon, Felix pulled the trigger, aiming at the closest swordsman.

*BANG*

A slug shot blasted through the stomach of a charging soldier, knocking him backward.

Felix wasn't trained to kite his enemies like a character in an FPS game. He stood his ground, unloading shells at every approaching soldier.

*BANG* *BANG*

After dropping two more swordsmen, one survivor caught up to Felix and swung his sword. Felix stepped back, dodging the swing by a hairbreadth. The swordsman controlled the pommel and changed into a thrust stance, lunging forward.

As if a helldiver's spirit possessed him, Felix dove backward while he aimed at the assailant.

*BANG*

The slug shot hit the swordsman's head, exploding it like a watermelon. He collapsed on his own broadsword.

After downing the soldier, Felix glanced at the map as he forgot to count the kills.

How many were left?

There were 14 before, then 13, then 11…

He took out five next…

What about the ones killed by the shotgun? Felix counted four. There should be two left.

The map showed one red dot and a green dot. Their locations overlapped. A second later, the red dot vanished, leaving the blinking green dot of an ally.

'That must be Jane.'

Felix was relieved. He entered the woods to find the assassin girl.
