Lord of the Sky City

To become a member of the Imperial Knight Order was to be the ace of aces, and to hold a particular position within the Order's Void Magic Squad meant that your skills had reached their peak. The Sniper that Rocky was pursuing was just such an individual!

Don't be fooled by his mere title of Sniper, for once Rocky caught up to him, his death was certain; but catching up was no easy feat, even though Rocky had dragged him out of the battlefield.

Facing Rocky's pursuit, the Sniper chose to make a desperate counterattack before being dragged into a dangerous distance and immediately halted Rocky's approach.

As the Magic Energy Arrows exploded before his eyes, Rocky was struck by several Magic Energy Beams. Though the White Demon Armor offered very strong defense, so even a direct hit wasn't much of a hindrance, he was still hit and unavoidably suffered a brief slowdown in speed.

And that pause gave the enemy an opportunity!

When the Magic Energy Beams finally dissipated and Rocky looked towards the Sniper again, he saw his opponent had turned midair, already having drawn his longbow!

Then, he watched as his enemy rapidly pulled the bowstring, shooting countless arrows towards him in an instant!

Trouble!

Seeing this series of actions from the opponent, Rocky knew, trouble was at hand!

When it came to experience in battling Archers, Rocky had plenty, for Dusa was an extraordinarily talented Sharpshooter. In the Void Magic Squad of Thunderhawk City, Dusa held a position very similar to the enemy before him. Therefore, as soon as he saw the Sniper's actions, Rocky knew what the enemy was intending to do.

Indeed, in the next moment, countless Magic Energy Arrows flew at him like raindrops. Not only were there many of these Arrow Feathers, but their density was like a large net, instantly enveloping Rocky, leaving him no space to dodge.

In such a situation, a regular Void Magic Warrior would instinctively deploy a Defensive Net, since shooting so many Magic Energy Arrows in an instant meant that, although there were many, their power couldn't be great, and basically, any specialized Armor could block them.

But at the same time, this was like falling into a trap, because opening a Defensive Net was akin to a passive defense. It might seem like you've blocked the attack, but in reality, it gives the enemy the chance to launch even stronger attacks. And once a Sniper finds more opportunities, it's game over as you fall completely into passivity.

Having practiced frequently with Dusa, Rocky was very clear about the opponent's intentions, and thus he didn't choose passive defense. Instead, as the sky-full of Magic Energy Arrows came at him, he leapt up taking advantage of his speed and spatial superiority to swiftly circle around, closing in on the enemy from another direction at high velocity.

This move caused the Sniper to pause briefly, clearly not expecting him to react so calmly and composedly, and so he quickly pivoted, drawing his longbow once again.

This time, the Sniper did not shoot out a large number of Magic Energy Arrows like before. He knew such tricks wouldn't stop Rocky. This time when he drew his longbow again, there were three swooshing sounds as he drew the bow three times in succession, shooting three arrows almost in the blink of an eye!

The three arrows varied in Magic Energy intensity, speed, and even the angles at which they flew. Although they all seemed to be heading straight for Rocky, they actually attacked from three different angles.

Impressive!

Rocky noted the three Magic Energy Arrows flying towards him at different speeds and angles and mentally gave a thumbs-up. It seemed the reputation of the Imperial Knight Order was well-deserved; a sniper, and under almost close-combat conditions, could still be so formidable. This was not something just anyone could achieve.

Afterward, he immediately started to spiral through the air, making every possible evasive maneuver.

With a whoosh, the fastest Magic Energy Arrow flew past him, but before Rocky could feel relieved, an explosion sounded behind him. The arrow that had grazed him not only exploded but also generated a very strong shockwave.

As the shockwave hit, Rocky understood the enemy's intention. Due to the shockwave's impact, he, flying at high speed, inevitably was affected slightly, which caused a minor deviation in his path.

But in a duel of this level, even the slightest deviation could be deadly!

In just the blink of an eye, Rocky was struck by an arrow!

This arrow was not supposed to hit him, as Rocky had adjusted his body to dodge the second arrow while evading the first. Normally, he should have been able to avoid it, but the shockwave from the first arrow affected his movement, resulting in the second arrow grazing the shoulder of his White Demon Armor, followed by two explosions.

The sniper had fired three arrows at varying speeds and angles. The first arrow was the fastest, but the second and third arrows traveled nearly at the same speed. So when Rocky was hit by the second arrow, the third arrow also struck him, and then both Magic Energy Arrows exploded simultaneously.

The combined force of the two Magic Energy Arrows exploding together was immense, causing Rocky to lose control of his body amidst the blasts. Although this loss of control was brief, it provided the sniper with even more opportunities!

As Rocky was blown away mid-air, his body momentarily out of control, the sniper seized a rare chance, and without wasting it, appeared to slowly but swiftly draw his longbow, then gathered a massive Magic Energy Arrow!

This arrow, rather than being called an arrow, was more like a long spear, exceeding two meters in length, and paired with the sniper's gigantic longbow, it was clear that this was his killer strike!

Just as the sniper had gathered this giant Magic Energy Arrow, Rocky finally regained control over his body, but when he looked at the enemy, especially seeing such a huge arrow aimed at him, he was taken aback!

The next second, he reacted, instantly ejecting more than a dozen Smoke Grenades from the back of his armor, concealing himself in smoke within moments.

"Hmph!"

There was no denying Rocky's swift response, but faced with layers of smoke, the sniper let out a cold laugh and immediately activated his magic energy detector.

With the magic energy detector on, the smoke before his eyes vanished instantly!

However, after this, the sniper was stunned, as he found there were no magic energy reactions within the smoke…!
