Chapter 370 - Chapter 369: Critical Moment

Why couldn't these mercenaries be as reliable as that Magus Killer?

Shaking his head, anyway, for him, these mercenaries didn't cost much money. The magus adjusted his own mentality, scratched his own head, and once again locked his gaze on a small compartment in this room. That was also the location of the power switch. The game of hide-and-seek was over!

"It's time to accept your fate, our little genius."

The magus's palm lifted to the side. A stream of water directly broke open the room door. The smiling magus, after seeing the scene in the room, swallowed hard. The purple-haired, purple-eyed young man was pointing a piece of equipment that clearly had some ancient traces but was also influenced by modern technology right at him.

The dragon-head-like front end of that equipment slowly opened. Magical energy rapidly brewed within that dragon head, and then, like cannon fire, blasted outwards. The magus quickly raised both his hands, controlling a large amount of water to cover his own body. But even so, he was still sent flying directly under this immense power.

The wall and the door were once again broken through. This time it was an explosion from within the building. The magus rolled on the ground several times. But fortunately, with the protection of the water stream, he did not suffer too much damage.

The magus lifted his own head, climbed up from the ground, and then took a deep breath. But he still couldn't hold back his feelings. "How is that possible? Don't you have no magical energy? How can you operate such equipment to launch such an attack!!!"

The young man once again raised his gauntlet. The top of the wyvern-like shape slowly opened. The cannon muzzle inside began to use magical energy again. At the same time, his other hand was placed behind him, ready to draw out the magical energy crystal behind him at any time. After all, he himself had no magical energy. This magical energy crystal was the bullet that continuously allowed this weapon to fire attacks.

Come to think of it, were the modern firearms of today a change of the times or a return of the times?

"You underestimate me too much. I have already unlocked the seal of the secret treasure. Naturally, I will think of all kinds of ways to use it. Who am I? I am the genius, Matou Shinji—!!"

Without firing from a distance, Shinji took a few steps forward and pressed this weapon directly against the surging stream of water. The expression on his face was one of relief and also fatigue. At the same time, there was a hint of relaxation, as if he was finally able to end this battle, which was why he had a slightly relaxed expression.

"You bastard!!"

Another explosion. The magus once again rolled backward, rolling on the ground several times. Perhaps it was because he was using a magical energy crystal, so the erupted magical energy did not seem to be as powerful as imagined. So this magus spat out a mouthful of blood, but did not die.

Shinji's eyes widened slightly. He had not expected this guy to be so tough. After being hit by two cannons, he still hadn't passed away. He quickly opened the back of the wyvern-shaped armor again, loaded more magical energy crystals into it, preparing to take advantage of the fact that this magus was seriously injured. While he was sick, finish him off!

However, just at this moment, a pile of rocks suddenly extended from the ground. An arm directly grabbed this magus's neck, and then quickly tightened and used force. Only the sound of bones breaking was heard. The magus who controlled the water stream suddenly stiffened, his head tilted to one side, and his whole person completely went limp.

He had been directly snapped at the spine and had lost his life.

And it was very obvious that this was magic. Just as Shinji was preparing to leave this place, the ground, as if it had turned into a swamp, became soft. At the same time, it directly trapped Shinji's feet in the concrete, and then, as if accelerating, it surged upwards. In a flash, it had given Shinji a concrete binding.

Shinji raised the equipment in his hand and smashed it hard between his own feet, preparing to directly destroy the ground to free his feet. It was just that he had just smashed the ground, and from the surroundings, spears held by soldiers made of concrete appeared, thrusting directly at his chest.

Damn it!!

Shinji gritted his teeth, wanting to try and avoid his vital points so that he would still have a chance to counterattack. However, just at this moment, Sigma shot out from the side. He then took out a riot-proof cloak from his own pocket and draped it over Shinji's body. He then directly threw a limited-power bomb onto the ground. But it was also enough to destroy the concrete. If not for the protection of a Mystic Code or some special tools, such power would also be enough to cause harm to a person.

At the same time, because of the limited power, there were, naturally, also other effects, and that was the effect of a smoke bomb. With the explosion, black smoke also spread to the surroundings. Although it was a bit choking, it was also enough to cover the line of sight of others.

Taking this opportunity, Sigma directly picked up Shinji and fled into another room in the smoke. And in the key positions of this entire corridor, the concrete and tiles also began to rapidly surge, turning into one after another of eye-like shapes. Clearly, they were locking onto the whereabouts of the two.

Sigma stuffed the firearm in his hand into Shinji's hand. At this time, to use the weapon forged by Aslan to destroy those insufficient eyes was truly a bit of a waste. What's more, to constantly consume magical energy crystals would only make the subsequent battles incomparably troublesome. After all, magical energy crystals were consumables. Once all of them were used up, then this equipment would be useless. On the contrary, as for bullets, he still had quite a few.

Shinji had also been living alone all these years, so he had a special growth experience. He did not hesitate at all in the face of firearms and directly raised them. Perhaps his design was not that precise, but it was a good thing that after this firearm had been modified, its power was great enough. And these bullets had all been enhanced by Sigma one by one. As long as they hit near those stone eyes, it was enough to take care of the surveillance that was staring at him.

It was just that before he had advanced much further, Sigma was forced to stop in his tracks. He then looked ahead with a grave expression.

Shinji also turned his head and looked in the direction the two of them had originally been preparing to flee. There, a large number of concrete soldiers were holding spears and were approaching step by step. To use a powerful bomb here would only implicate their own people. It was a little troublesome.

Shinji raised his right hand and opened the mouth of the wyvern cannon. A powerful magical energy once again shot outwards. Each magical energy cannonball could directly take away one rock soldier. However, after only firing three shots, the magical energy crystal installed in this equipment had already been completely consumed.
