Chapter 366: Sweet Bullet!

Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Sweet Bullet!

Another shot rang out.

But this time, the crosshairs weren’t locked onto the still-shaken Cecilia.

Nor were they on Patton, who was grappling with Sean Chandler.

Instead, the target was Alvin—the one who had been lingering at the rear, looking hesitant, even showing faint signs of retreat!

Locked on by that dark muzzle, which had just demonstrated its bizarre power, Alvin felt a chill shoot up from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

His scalp instantly prickled with fear!

The image of Gru’s sturdy Shield of Rock being "snipped" to pieces still echoed in his mind!

He had no desire to be the next victim!

Who knew what other terrifying things that bizarre gun could shoot!

’No... I don’t want to die here!’

The fear in Alvin’s heart instantly overwhelmed the so-called "Divine Task" and "Divine Artifact Reward."

Power of the Beloved, future prospects—none of it mattered more than staying alive in the face of this deadly threat!

Almost instinctively, a flicker of lightning enveloped his body as he prepared to bolt sideways and escape the battlefield!

However—

"BANG!"

The gunshot was faster than his thought to flee!

A pink streak of light, trailing a soft, glowing tail, shot out from the muzzle. It looked completely harmless, even a little cute!

The passive Effect of [Hundred Shots Hundred Hits] gave this bullet absolute precision, allowing it to ignore distance and ordinary obstacles!

Alvin, who was activating his lightning acceleration and whose body had already become a blur, felt only a slight numbness in his back, as if something soft had gently touched him.

The excruciating pain, the tearing sensation, or the bizarre snipping feeling he expected never came.

He stopped in his tracks and looked down at his chest in bewilderment.

No wound, no blood. Even his clothes were intact.

There was only a faint, cloyingly sweet fragrance.

The fragrance spread from the point of impact, quickly seeping into his body.

"Huh?"

Alvin froze.

’I’m not dead?’

In the distance, Patton, who was desperately trying to break free from Sean Chandler’s block, also saw this and couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

"What... What’s going on? The attack... failed?"

Cecilia was also filled with astonishment and confusion.

Her greatest strengths, Spirit Enchantment and Emotion Control, were completely useless against Seraphina Sullivan.

It made her feel like dead weight on the team.

Now, seeing that Seraphina’s strange shot seemed to have "misfired," she felt a surge of excitement.

However, in that brief, strange moment of calm.

At Seraphina Sullivan’s feet, the deep shadow cast by a collapsed building stirred without warning!

A figure as black as ink and as fast as lightning shot out from the shadow like a viper that had been lying in wait!

It was Lina, who had previously slipped into the shadows to bide her time!

This was the moment she had been waiting for!

Seraphina Sullivan had just fired her shot.

Her attention seemed to be focused on Alvin.

Sean Chandler was tied up with Patton.

This was the moment their defenses were at their weakest!

A smile blending excitement and cruelty appeared on Lina’s face.

In her hands, two poisoned, pitch-black daggers, like a Poisonous Fang, thrust straight for the back of Seraphina Sullivan’s heart and her neck!

They moved so fast that only two streaks of dark light were visible!

’Your life—is mine!’ Lina roared in her mind, as if she could already see the glorious scene of Seraphina Sullivan’s blood splattering on the ground as she claimed the kill credit for a Divine Favored!

She even felt a thrill of satisfaction, as if avenging a great wrong.

However—

Her smile hadn’t even fully formed before it froze on her face!

"KRA-KOOM—!!!"

A thick, violent, and blindingly bright bolt of lightning struck from the side without any warning.

It hit Lina with perfect accuracy while she was mid-air and unable to dodge!

"AHH—!!!" A bloodcurdling scream rang out!

Lina was sent flying backward by the lightning, crashing heavily to the ground. Her body was charred black and twitching uncontrollably, her daggers clattering to the floor.

Lightning’s power was a potent counter against an assassin like her, who specialized in darkness and Concealment!

With great difficulty and disbelief, she turned her head to look in the direction the lightning had come from.

There, she saw Alvin slowly lowering the arm that had just unleashed the lightning.

His expression... was very strange.

His eyes were vacant and unfocused, his face devoid of any emotion, like a puppet controlled by invisible strings.

"Why... Why... Alvin..."

Lina managed to force out a few words, her eyes filled with confusion, anger, and despair.

She couldn’t understand why her own teammate had attacked her!

Seraphina Sullivan slowly turned around. She glanced at the charred Lina on the ground, then at the motionless, puppet-like Alvin, and the corner of her mouth curved up into a cold, knowing smirk that suggested complete control.

The shot aimed at Alvin wasn’t a failure, but another form of "success."

That pink bullet was a [Sweet Bullet] condensed from the [Sweet Fragrance] Skill!

[Sweet Fragrance] was originally a Skill for controlling others.

But after being converted and having its rules enhanced by the [Universal Sniper Rifle], the [Sweet Bullet] it condensed underwent a qualitative change in its Effect—a forced, short-term "sweet control"!

A target hit by it would, for a short time, be consumed by a strong, twisted impulse of "sweetness" and "obedience," compelling them to follow the shooter’s first clear command!

And the moment the bullet hit Alvin, the command Seraphina Sullivan issued through her Spirit Link was: "Attack the woman coming out of the shadows!"

Elemental attacks were the bane of shadow assassins like Lina.

Seraphina Sullivan had known this for a while thanks to her [Eye of Resume], and had prepared this "Chess Piece" accordingly.

Looking at the incapacitated and dying Lina.

Looking at the temporarily controlled Alvin, standing frozen in place.

Looking at Patton, who was being firmly held back by Sean Chandler.

And looking at Cecilia, who was panicking because her abilities had been nullified...

Seraphina Sullivan knew that the scales of victory in this sudden encounter had tipped completely in her favor.

The battle was about to end.

And her and Sean Chandler’s "ticket home" was now within reach.

She turned her cold gaze back to the isolated, pale-faced Cecilia.

It was time to collect the final spoils of war.

"You go deal with the woman who controls shadows. I’ll handle this one,"

Seraphina Sullivan ordered rapidly, her rifle’s muzzle never straying from Cecilia’s vitals.

Sean Chandler didn’t hesitate. His Crystalized body spun around and charged toward Lina, who was trying to melt back into the shadows and bide her time, like a diamond whirlwind.

His enormous size and incredible defense were the biggest nightmare for agile, burst-damage assassins like her.

"Don’t come any closer! Get away!" Cecilia was in a full-blown panic.

While desperately dodging the phantom lock-on of Seraphina Sullivan’s rifle, she frantically tried to activate her Divine Favor Power.
