Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 54 54:Setting Ambush[III]

The members of Wolfgang's mercenary staggered towards the direction bullets were coming from. They traced the trail of flash fire, the bullets made as they rubbed against the friction in the air.

Seeing them coming closer, Leon simply switched to a magazine containing bullets with greater penetrating power for a shorter range. He also stood up to locate the group who were invisible in darkness after they got out of the flames.

BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!

He fired the sniper, and the gunshots sounded as if they followed a steady tempo. Shot by shot, he started toning down their numbers. Their vests proved useless, unable to withstand the power of sharp bullets digging a hole into them.

If it was a top-class vest, it might have proved useful alas it wasn't. It offered no protection against.233 9mm Armor-piercing round a.k.a AMP

Leon aimed at Mike again but it was useless as that guy used the jeep door as a shield and bullet after passing that didn't have enough to strike him down. Also, that guy made great use of his surroundings.

A real veteran indeed.

So, Leon decided to leave him and kill others. On drawing near, two people took out short-range guns and shot.

Leon's eyes narrowed as he ducked. The bullet went over his head and hit the three with a bang. Leon immediately followed after taking his shot.

His bullet hit the man's mouth, tearing off the jaw, and went past through his cervical spine while the other one head popped open.

While doing this, Mike was already before Leon and swung his deadly axe which had dried stains of blood.

The sniper was bound to be dead on encountering a close-range fighter and sensing no qi from Leon infuriated Mike's ego and made him careless.

He couldn't wait to smash Leon's skill into pieces. Wielding an axe, he jumped up by stomping his legs and drawing an arc to slash his axe downward carrying a great momentum.

The sound of an axe slicing the wind echoed but what it met was empty hair as Leon rolled to the side swiftly.

BOOM!

The axe hits the ground decimating it and leaving a small crater on the ground. The trees around shook a bit.

Leon pulled out a desert eagle from his waist and shot it but much to his surprise, Mike reacted immediately pulling back his axe and slashing heavily deflecting the bullets.

SWISH!

A scratch appeared in the air and with deflecting bullets, the trees nearby were snapped down along.

"Holy moly! That's something new."

Leon's eyes turned dark and a trace of seriousness appeared over him as he felt his blood boiling. He wasn't facing a dead weight or inexperienced rather a veteran who fought with death.

However, Mike's condition was far better. It was already a miracle that he had had the vigor to fight after coming out from such a situation.

"It would be fun," Leon smiled coldly, throwing the desert eagle.

BANG!

The gun hadn't even reached the floor when a terrifying sound resounded through the place as Mike had already appeared before Leon.

His speed was frightening but can't compare to Leon's whose Dragon's eyes can slow down things to some extent.

'This one,'

Bending down a bit, Leon summoned his sword from the waist, and generating enough momentum, he swung his sword slicing through Mike's meet the axe in the way.

The slowed-down time returned to normal and Leon felt a terrifying pressure on the hand holding his sword.

SPURT!

BANG!

A shockwave of air spread apart.

Following this, red blood dyed Leon's vision as his body skidded back for a few steps before coming to a halt.

Once it came to a stop, Leon raised his head and saw Mike staring at him with eyes opened wide with shock with his hands pressed on his shoulder to stop the leaking blood.

Mike's mind completely went blank in this brief contemplation.

Appearing right before the man, he raised his axe vertically to cut the human into two pieces but before he could do that, an invisible arc drawn into the air cutting his shoulder blade and met his axe but much to his horror he wasn't able to trace it...

And this comes from the man from whom he couldn't even feel any spiritual energy.

Mike slowly recuperated from the shock of what happened. He understood that he wasn't facing an easy opponent.

He gritted his teeth and straightened his back from round two but...

A deep sense of fear and panic enshrouded his whole body as his eyes caught sight of a pair of golden eyes looking at him.

The more he looked the more he felt getting sucked in.

"I can't lose."

As he screamed, his thunderous echoed as he grabbed the axe using his right arm and propelled his body forward.

BANG!

Leon dodged the attack and it hit the tree, slicing it swiftly.

The tree fell, taking a few others.

Leon and Mike were alarmed by this and darted around to escape the assault of trees falling upon them.

Twigs and chips flew around creating a rustling sound

The situation hadn't even calmed down when through the gap between the trees, Mike skillfully guided his whole body and swung his axe with a bloody roar.

"Asshole! I will rip you into shreds."

"In your dreams big guy."

Leon mocked pressing his foot on the ground and tilting his body towards the direction of where the axe was coming.

CLANK!

Sparks flew as the axe came in contact with his sword.

Intense pain coursed throughout Leon's body as the hands almost let go of the sword in the hand.

While Leon's body rose to the ground, he caught sight of Mike stretching his waist and throwing a brutal punch in his direction with his wounded left arm.

Leon channelized his qi and hardened his gut, making a crisp on getting struck and his body shot back.

Leon twisted his body and landed a few meters away.

Landing on the ground and ignoring the slight ache in his guts, his eyes darted across the darkness.

He knew people would be reaching here so he needed to finish things off.

Pressing his foot on the ground and hardening his body with a Draconic body, Leon's body shot forward like an arrow.

The ground and pieces of wigs beneath his feet pulverized. He ran in a zig-zag pattern and jumped from one bark of the tree to another.

Leon's figure flashed above Mike and he slashed downward using the Dragon Claw Art that he integrated with his sword, who in response followed suit.

When Mike Axe met with Leon's sword, a loud metallic sound rang in the air.

BOOOOOOOOM!

The original quiet environment was soon drowned out by the terrifying sound of an explosion as pressurized circular energy beams shot out from the point of contact of two weapons.

The ground cracked, the trees shook, and small pieces of leaves, and rocks flung in the air like projectiles.

Soon dust flew into the air masking everything.

Mike's upper garment was torn apart leaving a grotesque wound. Leon's condition wasn't far better, it was just slightly better than Mike whose body was kneeling on the ground.

"HUAAANG!"

He suddenly screamed and spitting blood, got up on his feet.

"SHUT UP!"

Leon appeared right behind him and smashed a hammer straight at his head.

BANG!

A powerful blasting sound reverberated throughout the place.

Mike's body slid back as he used his hands to defend but the hammer crushed and pulverized the bone of his arms.

Leon circled around to come before him and attacked again.

Mike raised his arms barely reacting in time but Leon changed the trajectory by rotating his heel and arching his body backward, he swung the axe from downward giving him a hammer jab that shattered Mike's jaw.

Blood spurted upwards from Mike's lip like a fountain.

Leon held the hammer that was going up and pulled it abruptly with a jolt smashing it on Mike's face, thrashing him into the ground with a loud bang.

The smash destroyed his facial bones knocking the teeth out of his socket and blinding his vision for eternity.

Now raising the hammer, he smashed it again on his face repeatedly.

"DIEE!"

BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!

He beat the bloody pulp out of him and kept hammering until he heard the notification that started to ring again and again as if urging him to stop this shit.

"Sweet!'

"I love this piece of art. I hope Wolfgang likes and appreciates my work."
