Chapter 457 A Joke Gone Wrong?
?The woman named Tanya was using a weapon from her world, a weapon known as a sniper rifle. Right now, she had carefully aimed up the sight at the target in front of her.
They were just in the building over, so it wasn't exactly too far for her to hit her target, and due to how close they were, she could even choose where she needed to hit.
"Alright, you ordered it, here it goes."
She steadied her aim and pulled on the trigger. Immediately, a loud bang was heard throughout the area.
The people were looking up, wondering where the noise was coming from. When they stared at the rooftop, they could see a man with short hair in shabby clothing.
"Sorry, just some construction work going on here and we dropped something, carry on with your day!" Marcus said with a smile and a wave to the people.
Although they could see the long object being held by the woman, no one paid it any attention. It simply wasn't a tool from their world, not something that they would use.
After the people carried on with their day, Marcus immediately wanted to know an answer.
"So, what was the result?" Marcus asked.
Tanya was stunned for a moment; she had seen everything clearly, she had lined up for her bullet to go right through the shoulder of the man that had entered.
"He's unharmed, the bullet, it looked like it bounced off him, or he was protected by something."
Looking inside the house through the windows, their target was certainly on guard. He had moved more into the center where their view was blocked, and he was holding onto a sword.
"He didn't notice it, he didn't notice we were here, how did he manage to block a bullet?" Tanya asked.
Another man, with long blonde hair, middle-aged, stood by Marcus's side and had observed the situation.
"Graft said he was a mage, correct?" Barlan, the mage of the group, commented. "It appears that he has quite high level enchanted gear on him.
"He didn't recognize the bullet nor did he react with magic, but the clothing he has on him must not be ordinary. I wonder where he got his hands on something like that."
"Yes, you're right," Marcus rubbed the bottom of his beard. "An item like that, if he had discovered it in one of the dimensions, he should have reported it to Alter.
"Of course, Alter could have given him permission to get something like that as well, but I doubt someone who has just joined Himmy's group would be allowed such a thing."
"There is another way," Barlan said. "It's possible he could have enchanted the robe himself. If that was the case, he must be quite a high-level mage."
The fact that Himmy might have a golden goose in his group was annoying Marcus a bit, so he decided.
"Let's test this one a bit more then." Marcus moved, and so did the others after him.
Inside the Inn, the bullet had been blocked, and Raze could tell where the attack had come from, but he was confused as to what had just happened.
'A piece of metal thrown at an incredibly high velocity. Is it magic, or could it be something else?'
Just then, the sound of a door being broken wide open was heard, and Raze could see a young man in cloth jumping out from the second floor toward him.
The young man had a sword in his hand, and it was laced with Qi.
Raze pulled out his own sword and hit it to the side. But the youngster quickly lifted his sword up several times and continued to attack one after the other.
'Who is this? hy would a Pagna warrior suddenly attack me? Is it the Behemoth Clan, or did Graft hire some people to try and get rid of me?' Raze thought as he continued to block the sword.
He was doing so rather effortlessly; the person in front of him was a fourth-stage Pagna warrior. Skilled for his age, certainly, but with Raze's strength and everything he had been through, it was nothing.
'If they were from Alter, then my device would have gone off, and no fool would attack me!' Raze then straightened his sword and delivered a large blow to the sword.
It was so strong that the youngster had no choice but to let go of his sword as it flew in the air and pierced the wooden wall to the side.
When Raze went to strike again with his sword, he heard several loud bangs, and instantly small objects had hit the side of his sword.
They were powerful, moving it off course. Looking to his right, he could see that a few people had entered from the window.
One person, in particular, had a black object held with both of his hands; it looked rather familiar to him.
'That looks like the same thing that Himmy had!' Raze thought.
Not just that, but Raze could see the wind flowing off from the others that had entered, and he was sure of it, that it was a mage with them.
A mage, with a person that could use magic, he was sure that it couldn't be a coincidence, so he could only guess where these people were from.
"What is this? I thought this guy was a mage, and then he manages to best you, Ponto!" Marcus said.
"He's skilled, he has to have fought with a few warriors already," Ponto said, jumping over and getting his sword from the wall.
Seeing the situation and how it was, Raze stood there with the sword in his hand, ready to act at any time.
"You guys… you're from Alter, right, so why attack me!" Raze asked.
There was clear anger in his voice, and Marcus thought he had every right to be angry. He just wanted to play a little with Himmy's new member, but he was starting to realize something as he felt his hand start to tremble slightly, an energy coming off.
"If you attack me, then you are my enemy, and I kill my enemies!" Raze exclaimed as his sword started to light up as he placed an immense amount of Qi into the Ghost Blade.
