Book 4: Chapter 33: Crownslayer

“Enemy attack! The enemy has not been wiped out. Furthermore, there’s a sniper. The weapon should be a firearm. Watch out for—” The head of the member serving as the team leader exploded before he could finish.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

“Everyone, beware! That sniper is on a roof to the southeast!”

After Chen Heng killed ten-odd people, the group below finally figured out his direction.

Chen Heng discovered that these Reunion members were mostly ordinary, untrained people. They were simply thugs in Reunion Movement uniforms.

Therefore, it was not hard to understand why they figured out Chen Heng’s location only now.

“Oh no! He vanished. He might be someone with movement-type Originium Arts. Be careful of sneak attacks!”

Chen Heng was no fool. There were Snipers among the Reunion members. Although he thought little of the accuracy of these Snipers, he could change his location by spatial jumping, so why remain here and be a target?

After changing locations, the first thing Chen Heng did was snipe the person he suspected was a team leader. Shoot the rider before shooting the horse; capture the leader first, then get the rest of the bandits. He understood this principle.

Bang!

Bang!

“What a terrifying operator! He has extremely lethal force with great mobility, simply a nightmare on the battlefield. No wonder Kal’tsit said he could rival a catastrophe. Although that is a little exaggerated, He Who Knows Fate is indeed powerful.”

“Yes, yes. How can a seven-star operator not be powerful? However, he would require too much resources. Does Rhodes Island have that much resources?” Doctor had already lost Sanity and had yet to replenish it with Originium.

[TL Note: Sanity is the stamina or energy mechanic in Arknights that allows the player to run operations. It regenerates with time, Originate Prime (a kind of Originium), or some other consumables. Here is more information about Sanity: /wiki/Sanity.]

Wait…Yog…Sanity…

“Doctor, can you stop focusing on He Who Knows Fate? You have to direct the battle.”

“It is impossible for me to battle now. This is the first time, and I already have such a powerful operator for free. No. I have to think about how to raise his Trust points. That can also make him more powerful, I think.”

“Doctor!”

On the other side, Chen Heng had already quietly killed half of the Reunion members, so the rest panicked. In the end, these were a motley crew, and he had already sniped the team leaders. Right now, they were leaderless, and the herd mentality already favored a stampede.

However, how could Chen Heng let them escape to leak information about him? After all, information was king on the battlefield.

Chen Heng sped up his sniping, reducing the already low number of Reunion members.

This was the final straw that broke the camel’s back. Some Reunion members had already started fleeing the vicinity. However, Chen Heng could snipe them the moment they showed themselves.

Furthermore, the ones hiding were not safe, either. Their cover could not block the penetrative force of the sniper rifle. Moreover, Chen Heng could spatial jump to other locations, rendering their cover useless. After all, there was no completely concealed location on a battlefield.

When only 20 or so Reunion members remained, they could no longer endure. They seemed to come to a collective decision and scattered in all directions, fleeing.

“This is slightly interesting now.”

Unfortunately, the Reunion members did not consider Chen Heng’s rate of fire.

Fleeing required time, and these Reunion members were not as fit as Rhodes Island operators. Trying to run out of this region would take significant time.

These Reunion members ran in two general directions. After killing all the Reunion members in one direction, Chen Heng looked at the other members some distance away. He propped the sniper rifle against his shoulder and vanished.

“I-I finally escaped. Quickly inform the higher-ups—”

“Inform who?” Just when the Reunion members slumped to the ground, thinking they had escaped, an unfamiliar voice suddenly interrupted.

“Of course, it’s… Wait, that’s not right. Who are you? You are that Sniper?”

The one who arrived was Chen Heng.

“Everyone, don’t be afraid. He is a Sniper, so he should be weak in close combat. There are ten of us here. Don’t tell me you are afraid of him. Everyone, attack together.”

One of the Reunion members calmed down after a brief panic. He was likely a team leader, too, but he was very smart. He did not reveal his status during the earlier sniping, resulting in his survival.

After saying that, this team leader raised his weapon and charged Chen Heng with the other Reunion members.

Thus, ten Reunion members sent themselves to death.

Chen Heng did not even draw a sword in the entire process. He simply extended a half-meter-long bayonet of light from the sniper rifle’s muzzle and killed all the Reunion members. This gun had many functions. While this was not very powerful, it was more than sufficient for rabble.

This was why Chen Heng wanted to be a Sniper. The enemy would think a Sniper lacked close combat abilities, and finishing off the misguided fools with a sword would feel great.

After eliminating all the Reunion members, Chen Heng returned to the initial building and looked around, checking if he had missed anyone.

However, he only saw ordinary citizens cowering behind cover. They were afraid Chen Heng would come for them after he eliminated the Reunion members.

Even if there were remaining Reunion members, Chen Heng could not tell, as they looked the same as the citizens after removing their uniforms. At most, they might have Oripathy. However, he could not simply kill everyone with Oripathy, right? Rhodes Island could be considered an organization of Infected.

Before Chen Heng spatial jumped to Amiya, he glanced in a certain direction. There was still a Reunion member there. Furthermore, she was one of the leaders. However, this person seemed to have a connection to Kal’tsit.

Can I kill her, Kal’tsit?

Kal’tsit: No.

Umaru-chan: I recall her name is Lyudmila, right?

Efreet: She is the daughter of Kal’tsit’s colleague or something like that.

Kal’tsit, do you think Crownslayer will appear in Arknights tomorrow? A six-star special?

Kal’tsit: Don’t ask me. I don’t know.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: But you are Kal’tsit!

Opps, I forgot to schedule chapters. Here are all the missing chapters.
