Lord of the Sky City

By this point in the battle, both the Alliance Army and the Imperial Army were chaotically intertwined, having fully engaged in the most intense and brutal close-quarter combat.

All of the Void Magic Warriors from both armies were mixed together, their formations long since disrupted, to say nothing of squads that had been scattered in the confusion of the melee.

Therefore, when Rocky followed the direction from which the cold arrows had come, his vision was filled with people—enemies and allies alike. In such a situation, it was difficult for him to even distinguish who was who, let alone locate the Sniper hidden in the shadows.

Left with no choice, he had to slow down his pace, then constantly look around, scrutinizing everyone nearby as best he could.

As for the target he sought, he had no clues, but Rocky did know that if his target was a member of the Imperial Knight Order, then they definitely wouldn't be wearing ordinary Armor. It couldn't be the Mass Production Type; it had to be Special Armor, likely modified in the same manner as the Fierce Tiger Squad's equipment.

This narrowed down his objectives somewhat; any enemy wearing Mass-produced Armor was not his target, only those in Special Armor could potentially be the Sniper.

Afterward, he weaved through the crowd while activating his magic energy detector, using it to observe everyone around him and look for their vulnerabilities.

With the magic energy detector in use, everything before Rocky took on a different appearance. It was as if he were viewing the world with thermal imaging—everyone around him was shaded in red to varying degrees of intensity.

The stronger the red, the higher the Mana contained within the Armor, and the weaker the red, the lower the Mana. Along with his earlier deductions, all the weaker red glows represented Mass-Produced Armor and were not his intended targets.

"Die!"

As Rocky was weaving through the battlefield, suddenly, a Void Magic Warrior lunged at him from the side, his sword slashing down at him.

At that moment, with everyone engaged in the melee, some enemies naturally perceived him as a target as well.

And coincidentally, just then, Rocky noticed an abnormally intense red glow in the distance. Judging by the intensity of the glow, the Armor's Mana had to be at least ten thousand points to elicit such a strong reaction from the magic energy detector!

Ten thousand points of Mana—that was the mark of top Armor. Even among the Alliance's Void Magic Corps, ordinary squad leaders could not afford such top Armor; only members of the Fierce Tiger Squad were privileged to wear it.

It was him!

Realizing that his quarry possessed such a high level of Mana, Rocky immediately understood this was the person he was searching for, so he had no time to bother with the enemy charging at him. He accelerated instantly, disappearing with a whoosh.

Seeing him approach at great speed, the targeted individual immediately took off, weaving through the countless people around and fleeing into the distance.

Indeed, the target Rocky was chasing was the very enemy he was seeking!

This person wore a set of blue Armor, almost the same color as the sky, a natural camouflage that made it exceedingly difficult to spot against the sky.

At the same time, this person was also wielding a longbow—clearly custom-made, imposing in size, with a length close to two meters. It was a truly large bow, capable of shooting powerful Arrow Feathers with immense force and range.

And when this person realized that Rocky had noticed him and was rapidly closing in, he didn't hesitate to flee immediately.

But just as the Black Armored Warrior had expected, how could he possibly escape from Rocky?

In the realm of speed, the White Demon Armor was famously formidable, especially after the latest round of modifications and enhancements, unless it was the Fifth and a Half Generation Holy Angel Armor, no other armors of the day could guarantee superiority over the White Demon in terms of speed.

In such circumstances, Rocky had crossed half the battlefield in the blink of an eye. Although the many combatants around him forced him to slow his pace while dodging and weaving, he still easily caught up with the Sniper.

One minute?

Less than a minute later, the Sniper who was frantically fleeing cast a glance back only to see Rocky's figure; he had been tightly pursued by Rocky!

"Damn it!"

Realizing he had been caught by Rocky, the Sniper reacted extremely quickly. Knowing he could not shake off Rocky, he turned around and shot an arrow without hesitation!

Indeed, as a warrior of the Imperial Knight Order, his reaction and judgment were impeccable. Upon realizing he could not escape the pursuit, he seized the opportunity to counterattack before Rocky could close in to a dangerous distance.

The Sniper, who was originally fleeing at great speed, immediately spun around. As he turned, he had already drawn his longbow and then fired an arrow.

With a whoosh, a Magic Energy Arrow shot out. The arrow's speed was so fast that it seemed like a line, streaking straight through the air towards Rocky.

Faced with this strike, Rocky did not dare to be careless. While maintaining his speed, he immediately twisted his body, narrowly brushing past the Arrow Feather.

"Not bad..."

Seeing that he had dodged his arrow, the Sniper also had to secretly admire him. Rocky had been rapidly closing in, so his reaction time to the arrow was extremely short. To dodge accurately in such circumstances without slowing down was enough to attest to Rocky's strength.

However, it was precisely when the Sniper was secretly admiring his opponent that he had already drawn his longbow a second time and promptly shot another arrow!

This arrow, even larger than the last one, did not slow down at all and arrived in front of Rocky in the blink of an eye.

Yet with the experience from the last shot, Rocky directly twisted his body, performing an evasive maneuver before the Arrow Feather could reach him.

But at that moment, the Magic Energy Arrow that should have narrowly missed him suddenly exploded, and instead of producing an explosion, it disintegrated into countless tiny Magic Energy Beams that scattered in all directions like a goddess spreading flowers.

Not good!

Upon seeing the Magic Energy Arrow explode prematurely and the subsequent disintegration into numerous Magic Energy Beams, Rocky realized that he had been duped. The opponent had clearly anticipated his move, hence the alteration to the Magic Energy Arrow. Regretfully, it was too late for him to evade or deploy his defense, resulting in him being hit by the scattered Magic Energy Beams in the next instant!
