Volume 5 Chapter 28 ACT.159 Gold Coin's Reincarnator (I)
Belta and Alfonso were aware of the third party lurking here from the start.
The metallic sound that echoed when the cages of the fierce beasts opened wasn't the sound of unlocking, but the sound of keys *being destroyed*.
If the keys to each cage, which were some distance apart, were destroyed one after another, and the mastermind behind it all is this so-called Reincarnator, then their method is──
"──Sniping."
Belta quickly hid in the shadows, behind cover.
By the sound of the impacts, he inferred that the shooter was hitting something metallic or similarly hard.
Whether by luck or misfortune, the location was relatively enclosed, and he had already checked behind him, so the sniper's direction was clear as day.
The problem was how to dodge the bullets in the poor visibility of the dark and get closer.
No matter how much training one has in fighting in the dark, it's physically impossible for a human body to fully adapt to pure darkness.
Therefore, the difficulty of evading the sniper's shots was even higher than imagined.
Moreover, if they waste time hesitating like this, the chances of the Reincarnator escaping would increase.
Considering the various possibilities, Belta let out a small click of his tongue.
Unlike him, Alfonso on the other side──
"I'm going in!"
──Grabbed a dead black panther as a shield and charged forward.
Intuitively, Alfonso judged that the Reincarnator's sniper shots didn't have the power to penetrate flesh.
That's why he deliberately picked up the dead body he had just taken down.
And by shouting as he ran, he intentionally loudly revealed his position to the sniper.
As he intended, bullets were fired at Alfonso one after another, piercing the meat shield.
Feeling the intense attack through the dead body's shock, Alfonso was calculating the sniper's location in his head.
Running, while enduring the storm of attacks, Alfonso roughly gauged the sniper's position and distance.
"Got you."
He aimed at the pinpointed location, ready to draw his sword and charge while hiding behind the meat shield.
But it didn't go as planned.
The Reincarnator's cheat (special ability) always surpasses human imagination and expectations.
In an instant, the body of the black panther that he had used as a shield began to *move*.
