Chapter 1018: Z-shaped Stutter Steps

On the other side, Heracles’ Phantom King had already finished off all four members of Saruman Snake. Although he could do it, at this time, nothing was more important than victory.

The Imperial Guardian and the BS001 converged. They need only wait for the Phantom King, and Wang Zheng would be finished.

It was clear that Di Maria’s mind was fully in the game, to be able to calm down at this moment. Just this move alone won recognition from many of the teachers present.

The Greatest King Competition was not a slugfest. One could demonstrate one’s ability through many ways. Bravery was one, but battle tactics and intellect were more important. And most of all was attitude.

Control one’s impulses!

They clearly had the advantage, and should build it even further. With the Atlantean at full strength, plus him, combined with a tank and a sniper, enough…

Sh*t!

“Lu Die, watch out!”

They had come to a halt and forgotten about Wang Zheng.

How could Wang Zheng only dodge? The opponent’s reactions were fast. Wang Zheng had wanted to use this method to scatter their formation, and take them down individually. But Di Maria clearly restrained himself. In that case, then he did not need to “restrain” them.

Wang Zheng’s retreat was actually a feint. Once past a building, his target was Lu Die’s Oracle mech.

As a sniper, Lu Die was too aggressive.

But Lu Die had discovered the Slayer early. Her judgment was very quick. At this moment, there was no time to retreat. The Slayer was the most agile offensive fighter. Conversely, if she could delay Wang Zheng, then she could create an opportunity for her teammates.

Her energy shield activated. As a sniper mech, she had no reason to be afraid of a Slayer that was a street and some tens of meters away.

He was already within her attack range. Her mental energy was completely trained on the Slayer, and the laser gun fired.

Snow Li, as a famous sniper in Elite Academy, used her almost perfect frost energy. In this, Lu Die was no match. But there were hundreds of ways to win in this world. Her ability used mental energy to mark a target, then compressed the mental energy, solidifying into a fatal, superbly penetrative needle.

This was her pride as a sniper. Wang Zheng’s last two maneuvers had shocked even her. Could he still do it?

At this moment, Di Maria and Annil had already appeared in the corner. Both sides were about equidistant, while the mid-air Phantom King was only one zone away, and would arrive soon.

Everyone held their breath. Wang Zheng’s Slayer did not slow in the slightest. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…

Burst laser!

Hong…

The M200 heavy sniper immediately trained on Wang Zheng’s Slayer, which had no intention of dodging. Annil and Di Maria were backing her up. Saruman Snake was eliminated on the other side, and the Phantom King was making its way over.

No one knew what the Atlanteans had done, but from afar they could feel an overwhelming energy which belied the gravity of the situation.

The Phantom King was very quick with its flying ability. More accurately, Wang Zheng’s intention to finish off Lu Die was naïve. After Di Maria and Annil arrived, the Phantom King could arrive soon after. At most 10 plus seconds. At this distance, what could the Slayer do?

More importantly, what else could Lu Die do?

BOOM…

Arc gun!

It was that bold, that awesome. The highest level a sniper could reach was to finish off the opponent head to head. I aim better than you, I’m fiercer and more clever!

In an instant, three arc gun shots fired out in sequence. This move alone left many sniper students sweating. Arc guns were undoubtedly the hardest shooting technique to master, let alone consecutive shots.

But Wang Zheng changed his straight line to a stutter-step, dodging all three shots without slowing.

In that instant, neither could back down. Lu Die did not. The M200 fired out again, and three more well aimed shots flew out. This one was two normal sniper shots and 1 arc shot.

This was the hardest battle for any sniper. All shooting had a method to follow. It was a matter of habit and feel. For example, consecutive normal sniping, or consecutive arc shots. To be able to use two types of shooting techniques so smoothly, and with rhythm – that was a completely different level.

The Slayer had already halved the distance. Against such an attack, the only way to avoid dying might be to duck into one of the alleys on the side. But that was like a fish in a net. Once Di Maria and Heracles pincer attacked, they could become the perfect defense, nigh unbreakable by anybody. Lu Die could fire at will, and definitely be any opponent’s nightmare.

Finish off Lu Die at all costs.

The Slayer neither slowed nor dodged. As an explosive offensive fighter, the Slayer’s mech body also had the capabilities to do high frequency actions. This was something that the Golden Wheel Battle King could not compare with.

While Lu Die fired, everyone’s jaws dropped. Wang Zheng moved in a Z-shape, leaving everyone bedazzled.

How much torque did one have to endure to do that???

But most crucially, while Wang Zheng was executing the Z steps, the laser fired out.

Unquestionably accurate. At this distance, Wang Zheng was very confident. This was an accurate attack that only a very well-trained shooter could make. All the snipers who had trained hard understood from the way that Wang Zheng raised his gun. He did not rely on his eyes, nor his brain, nor his feel. He relied on his hands!

That’s right, based on hand feel. This was the highest level that a sniper could aim for!

Lu Die could not dodge. Energy shield activated!

At this distance, the burst of the lasers’ force was not that big. They blasted against the energy shield.

At this moment, Lu Die’s trump card was used.

Ability X – Fatal lock-on attack!

He was already within her attack range. Her mental energy was completely trained on the Slayer, and the laser gun fired.

Snow Li, as a famous sniper in Elite Academy, used her almost perfect frost energy. In this, Lu Die was no match. But there were hundreds of ways to win in this world. Her ability used mental energy to mark a target, then compressed the mental energy, solidifying into a fatal, superbly penetrative needle.

This was her pride as a sniper. Wang Zheng’s last two maneuvers had shocked even her. Could he still do it?

At this moment, Di Maria and Annil had already appeared in the corner. Both sides were about equidistant, while the mid-air the Phantom King was only one zone away, and reaching soon.

Everyone held their breath. Wang Zheng’s Slayer did not slow in the slightest, BOOM BOOM BOOM…

Burst laser!

Hong…

M200 fatal shot.

Both sides had fired at the same time, but based on the distance and power, it was clear that the Oracle mech was at an overwhelming advantage.

BOOM…

The Slayer’s energy shield activated, blocking the M200’s heavy sniper. On the other side, the Oracle mech’s energy shield had also blocked the Slayer’s burst laser.

But the Slayer continued to stride forward, passing by Oracle mech…

Pilot Lu Die was already OUT!

A small skill like energy lock-on was nothing to an Earth rank fighter. The Ability X compression method that Lu Die was so proud of was easy to deal with for Wang Zheng. This was the difference in their Ability X ranks. A complete shutdown.

From the start, Lu Die had been in her own naïve world.

“Go to hell!”

The Slayer did not retreat at all. His target was Di Maria and Annil.

Annil was angry. At that moment, there was no way back. The Imperial Guardian was rushing forward, energy shields activated at full. She did not believe the opponent was godlike. Just delay for time!

Di Maria had already lost control at this moment. He could not just wait for Heracles. He immediately attacked with the Imperial Guardian.

“Go to hell!”

After screaming it, Annil’s Ability X burst forth. Waves of energy gushed forth, while Di Maria’s Ability X was already in effect. Wang Zheng was trapped in his energy field.

He was asking for it!

Time swamp!

He, Di Maria, the ultimate genius. In his energy field, he was God. Wang Zheng was trapped in the time swamp, while Annil was sped-up.

Instantly, they reached Wang Zheng. A d*mned Slayer. They would reduce it to ash!

The beam saber swept down. A tank as agile as a scout, and a Slayer as slow as a tank.
