Chapter 400: Chapter 377: The Firebearer Inheritance! (6.2K words, big chapter)_1 Chapter 400: Chapter 377: The Firebearer Inheritance! (6.2K words, big chapter)_1 Images rapidly surfaced in Colin’s mind—

Several meters away, the figure of a C Level Personnel suddenly disappeared and reappeared inexplicably right in front of him, lifting a fist as big as a bunker. He countered with a Bone Spur, but when the fist came down, the Bone Spur penetrated the enemy’s hand, and at the same time, he exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

“Hiss, wasn’t it just the talking phase, how did it suddenly come to blows? And I’m gone with just a Flash and a punch? What kind of monster is this…”

As thoughts flickered, Colin deftly reached into his pocket and pinched a card.

The next second, the C Level Personnel’s figure suddenly appeared, and as anticipated, raised his right fist and smashed it down fiercely…

Aside from the Flash, this movement was not fast, if not for “Fatal Insight”.

Colin would most likely have targeted with a Bone Spur…

However, now, “Force Repulsion” activated!

A terrifying Repulsion burst forth…

Everything within the area was affected and pushed aside straight away.

After tumbling for a bit, the enemy finally stopped his body from moving, and instead of attacking immediately, he looked this way with a face covered or consumed by vortices, his figure staggering…

“…So strong… item… so strong… you are the enemy… so strong… don’t be afraid… I will take you home…”

“Everyone can go home…”

“Go back…”

Muddled whispers came from nearby, the tone laced with clear self-reproach.

Even a soft cry could be heard…

‘The presence is the same as the one before, it can be confirmed that it’s indeed the same person. However, the one before spoke with uncanny rationality, unlike this one who’s continuously guilt-ridden and repeating the past events, they are practically two different people…’

Colin observed carefully, trying to find a breakthrough, perhaps provoking a reaction with his words?

Or should he drag out time like he did on the train before, waiting for the enemy to completely lose rationality?

Yet, as Colin pondered, he noticed that with the enemy’s crying and wailing, a lot of strange vortices had appeared around, and the whole world started to feel more and more unreal to him…

In this vast mid-mountain area, the figures of the other Cultists also began to slowly disappear.

Everything seemed unchanged, yet an indescribable distortion seemed to have occurred invisibly.

“This effect, is a bit like being pulled by the ‘Shield of Fairness Adjudication’? No, I can’t let him influence this place like this, I need to take the initiative…”

With that thought, Colin casually took out a “Colorless Crystal” and swallowed it, with a surge of flames erupting from his body, stirring the surroundings, dispelling that intangible sinking sensation.

Then, he took out the “Revolver Reverser” and pulled the trigger aimed at the enemy.

With a flicker of light from the gun muzzle, the enemy still did not move.

Dang dang dang…

The bullets, ablaze with flame, hit the enemy’s skin, making a crisp metallic sound, and then sparks scattered.

“This body is harder than it looks…”

Seeing the shattering bullet fragments, Colin’s eyelids twitched.

But he had used this gun to trigger the “Lethality” effect of the thirty-three bullets; he hadn’t really expected these ordinary bullets to inflict much damage.

“‘Lethality’ can have a clear effect even on a Level 1 Containment Subject. If all shots hit him, there should be no problem, hmm, there are still nine shots left.”

After a round of shooting, Colin immediately reloaded the bullets and continued firing.

But this time, it’s uncertain whether the crying and wailing figure felt some threat, but his aura suddenly changed, as if he had switched personalities. He tore off his brown coat with one hand and flung it, swiping all the bullets from the air.

A form with slightly grey skin but a metallic sheen and well-defined muscles was revealed.

“You are one of those… who detest mechanical life? Unfortunately for you, you’ve encountered me…”

The C Level man carried an arrogant tone as if he hadn’t encountered such an enemy before and regarded Colin as a certain kind of enemy:

“Feeble machines can’t compete with my body, tempered through a thousand trials!”

‘Why is his tone suddenly like ‘The False Powerhouse’? But even so, this item shouldn’t have an effect on C Level…’

Colin couldn’t help but think, but before he could ponder further, as the voice fell, the man with a body shaped like iron in front of him slightly bent down and then suddenly appeared nearby like a Flash, coming at him with a punch.

Driven by a powerful instinctive warning, he first stepped back several steps to dodge the attack, creating some distance with the aim to reload the last round of bullets. But at that moment, the enemy’s figure flashed again…

‘I remember that D Level Personnel said that one of this guy’s famous moves is being able to Flash eighteen times in a minute?’

As his thoughts raced, Colin manipulated the flames, raising a magnificent wall of fire between himself and the enemy…

“Boom!”

An overwhelming Charge came, and Colin’s pupils shrank as he saw the wall that could handle a dump truck explode like paper.

Still, as if he had anticipated this, Colin simultaneously activated another Golden Card’s effect.

“Now to use ‘Time Stasis’, he won’t be able to dodge!”

Hum!

Within the invisible roaring sound, everything at the scene was pulled into an invisible Stasis. Colin, without a second thought, took a dagger and tried to stab into the enemy’s body…

Unexpectedly to Colin,

the tip of the Bone Spur stopped just before the skin, failing to penetrate!
