"The target is Ron Edmond?"
The blond middle-aged man in the image is also looking over there, with serious eyes and a hint of coldness: "Capture the thief and capture the king? Does this sniper think he can injure the energy monarch?"
Are you too confident?"
"That is indeed a being that cannot be injured by a firearm!"
Rothers Machen nodded slightly, feeling that the possibility was slim. However, he stopped signing and waited for the result. Anyway, it would only delay a moment and would not affect the entire battle situation in Atlanta.
That bullet traveled three kilometers in the air, which was only a thousandth of a second. At this time, there was already a result in the 'Conservation of Energy' magic tower, but it had not been shown yet.
At the same time, at the top of the twenty-story magic tower, Ron Edmund was facing a fatal crisis.
When the bullet penetrated the outer wall of the magic tower, Ron Edmund had already felt the danger. However, the magician thought it was not a big problem. The bullet should be made by the top alchemist and contained magic energy.
The power contained in bullets with a grade of up to twenty-eight is very powerful - but the current situation is still within the range that he can handle safely.
Before the intimidating divine power of 'Dragon Power' began to take effect, Ron Edmond had already laid out in front of him the 'spiritual resistance', 'virtual soul', 'mechanical thinking', and 'rainbow shield'
, nine protective spells including 'Protective Energy' and 'Force Field Shield'. He also condensed an energy clone on his side to simulate his own breath fluctuations.
It was not until this moment that the 'shock' of the divine power made his soul stagnant, and he almost temporarily lost his ability to think. Fortunately, his mental protection worked. Especially the 'mechanical thinking', which allowed him to
Even under the impact of shocking divine power, you can think and respond effectively.
But next, the magician, whose thinking mode was already similar to that of a computer, watched with his own eyes as the bullet followed a spiral trajectory and blasted through his layers of protective shields, destroying the inside and outside of the magic tower.
The ten-layer magic defense array blasted in as if it were nothing.
He didn't know whether the person who fired the shot did it intentionally or whether it was a coincidence. The bullet always hit the weakest point of all magic defense arrays and protective magic, and the most vulnerable point to be penetrated.
And even if the bombardment hits the strong point of the magic defense array, these arrays will cause delays or even obstacles in the operation of magic energy due to various accidents.
This makes this demigod-level bullet always able to penetrate layers of his defenses with minimal effort.
The energy clone released by Ron Edmund was completely useless. The bullet locked onto his position and bombarded him.
That seems to be the divine right of destiny?
When this speculation emerged in Edmund's mind, the shock and fear from the depths of his soul almost shattered his mechanical thinking.
At this time, the magic bullet was only twenty meters away from him.
Ron Edmund tried his best to twist and fold space. He tried his best to use his space spells and arranged three layers of twisted void in front of him. At the same time, he tried to leave from the place where he was, and leave from the center of the magic tower where he was standing.
However, the last magic he cast, "Star Boundary Escape", was only caused by an error in the ordering of magic energy, which caused the spell to fail, and even caused the magic energy to backfire.
——For him who has the title of ‘Energy Monarch’, this is simply unbelievable. But this mistake happened so strangely.
In Ron Edmund's field of vision, the magic energy bullet was only 0.3 meters away from his eyebrows. The space he twisted and folded could not deflect its trajectory. The latter seemed to have its own soul and
His will has always been locked in his position as Ron Edmund.
So the ultimate fear tightly gripped his heart.
Ron Edmund did not panic. At the last moment, he cast a magic. Then the next moment, his body began to be 'annihilated' by the divine power carried on the bullet.
Just as Edmund expected, the several regeneration spells he had prepared for himself in advance failed to work.
The sniper holds the divine power of 'life' and 'death'. His clones hidden in every corner of this magic tower, as well as the magic dolls, are all at the same moment, under the influence of the law called 'death'.
All of them 'die'.
But Edmund's last spell, 'Soul Splitting', worked. He separated part of his flesh and soul, separated his godhead as the God of Law from his divine fire, and then briefly severed the connection with the main body.
Then, after the 'body' was completely dead and the bullet was 'annihilated' by the collision of energy, Edmund began to absorb the remnants of his shattered spirit and restore his body.
But at this time, his 'Energy Conservation' magic tower began to tilt in the sky after losing his control, and a huge flame ball like a mushroom cloud exploded from the top of the magic tower.
This scene caused almost everyone inside and outside Atlanta who was lucky enough to witness this scene to have their pupils slightly dilated and fall into silence.
"Longwei!"
Two hundred kilometers away, the silver-winged Duke Monroe Jim Carrey, who was covered in silver-white bandages, uttered this word, and then retreated into the shadows behind him without any regret.
As he predicted before, the sniper's ability has surpassed that of Jim Carrey. The result of staying in Atlanta is by no means optimistic.
At the same time, Roland Benedick, who had arrived on the battlefield a minute ago, had another flash of strangeness in his pupils, and then he turned his gaze to the mage tower of the demigod mage Ibrahim Garrison.
Source' projects past.
Li Mochen's request for him was to try his best to keep one of the many demigods.
In Roland Benedick's view, the mage consultant of the Violet family has become a director of the New World Magic Association. The demigod mage who is not far away from the magic user is undoubtedly under General George Mattiola.
The most valuable goal!
He didn't hesitate at all. Just as the mushroom flames on the top of the 'Conservation of Energy' magic tower dispersed, countless black wood plants grew under Roland Benedick's feet. Part of the wisteria wrapped around his body like armor.
His body, and then his whole body was like a meteor, crashing into the fourteen-story magic tower. This caused the world to once again roar like a mountain shaking, and a huge shock wave hit the sky and the earth.
earth.
"How is this possible?"
On the top floor of the Purple Gem Building, Rosie Vandrick looked at the magic tower with smoke and fire, and couldn't help but murmured: "That's Edmund! He can keep pace with Bethel Estandine.
The magician who already possesses the powerful priesthood of 'energy' is the God of Law."
"It's Long Wei! An almost complete version of Long Wei! He also has a terrible master——"
The head of the Vandrick family, Heinz Vandrick, also looked pale.
"He made me feel powerless and scared!"
"This shot can kill you and me. Where on earth did Consulley find such a sniper? This guy is probably far more powerful than the Silver-winged Duke Monroe Jim Carey."
Kidd Vandrick could understand his brother's mood. In fact, his hands were trembling at this time.
At this moment, he saw a black beam of light, bombarding the middle section of the 'Energy Conservation' magic tower that was beginning to travel to the star world, causing the demiplane outside the magic tower to begin to collapse, and even the south side of the magic tower began to collapse.
Large areas of the area also collapsed.
"The forbidden curse of 'material annihilation'! It is the destroyer of the world, Lafitte de Robespierre, who has taken action."
He felt that this 'Energy Lord' would probably be in danger this time. He probably wouldn't die, but his injuries would probably be so severe that he was dying, and this 'Energy Conservation' magic tower might not be able to be saved either.
.
"Salas, I think I'm lucky-"
In the southern suburbs of Atlanta, Ross Machen was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were indeed full of luck.
"I have to be lucky that I haven't signed this contract yet, right?"
Flames were already burning in his right hand, burning the dragon skin scroll in his hand.
"Think again, okay Machen?"
The blond middle-aged man in the magic projection also had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his eyes were also filled with anxiety.
"I need your help now. Even if the conditions promised before cannot be met, we can give you other rewards."
Rothers Machin said nothing, and the flame in his hand became more intense.
He wondered what kind of remuneration the National Association of Progressives could offer, which could compare with the previously promised 60 billion gold shields in assets and the prospects of a consortium?
Even this organization, ranked among the top five in America, would not be able to pay tens of billions of gold shields just to bribe a demigod like him.
Compared with the remuneration paid by the National Association of Progressives, the risks he now faces have risen sharply, reaching an extremely dangerous level.
"Rosers Machin!" The blond middle-aged man said in a serious tone: "Don't forget, that lucky Andre, his parents died in the hands of your CIA! You were also the one who was involved in that pursuit at that time.
One of the participants, right?"
Rothers' body trembled slightly and his eyes were unusually solemn.
But at this moment, a dragon roar similar to Bahamut, the Dragon God of Destruction, sounded in the sky again, and the piercing gunshots shocked Rothers' eardrums again.
He subconsciously raised his eyes and looked over, and then he saw the demigod hunter Ivan Broy, nineteen kilometers away, hiding in the corner of the south city of Atlanta, with his head blown off.
——For a strong demigod who ignites the divine fire, neither the body nor the brain are critical. But the soul of this strong demigod also dies the moment his body is annihilated!
This man could no longer restrain the powerful magic energy he possessed, causing a huge wave of magic to rise, spreading to every corner of Atlanta in less than a second.
"It's the power of death!"
Ross Machen's body trembled slightly, and then he increased the intensity of the flame again without hesitation.
"That pursuit was official business, Mr. Salas! I was just following orders from my superiors to hunt down Li Chunchu and his wife. And wasn't it your National Association of Progressives who controlled the top brass of the CIA and manipulated that incident?
You cannot threaten me, Your Excellency."
He didn't wait for the blond middle-aged man to speak again, and waved his hand again, severing the magical communication this time.
At this time, he heard his assistant, a legendary fifth-level magician, sigh,
"It's really unimaginable that even a figure like the 'Energy Monarch' would be seriously injured to this extent by a sniper rifle. This should be the most terrifying sniper in America!"
After saying this, this person looked over and said: "Boss, were you talking to someone just now? Was it the National Association of Progressives? Or was it our superior?"
"The former! I was lucky this time, I almost took you into the ditch."
Rothers Machin did not hide his close comrades, and then began to prepare his magic armor: "Let the brothers prepare, there may be an order issued later, we have to enter Atlanta City, be careful to avoid contact with the threat.
The conflict between the Dunstan family. Our mission is only to provide support and ensure that the city of Atlanta does not suffer large-scale casualties due to this divine war."
At this time, Li Mochen was using Long Wei's sight to search for the next target. He was also visualizing his 'Shenxiao Spiritual Luck Purple Gold Pagoda'. This golden pagoda was originally wrapped with 60,000 strands of merit. Now,
There are only more than 20,000 strands left.
But what satisfied Li Mochen was that the loss in killing the demigod hunter Ivan Broy only consumed less than two hundred rays.
Compared with the previous wish of 'maximum serious injury to Ron Edmund', the consumption this time was less than one-hundredth of the previous one. After this, there were even more than 200 rays of colorful spiritual light returning,
In total, there is almost no loss.
The next target he targeted was the mage tower ‘Magic Source Realm’ of the demigod mage Richard Tyson.
This person is already preparing to escape. This mage tower has opened the space barrier to the star realm and is sliding into the boundless void.
"Richard Tyson——"
Anthony couldn't help but sigh: "After the hunter who threatens the most, the first target is the mage. Ah Mo, you want to kill them all here, right?"
Before he finished speaking, a huge illusory dragon shadow appeared behind Li Mochen. If you participated in the battle to seal the 'Destroy Dragon God Bahamut', or have read related magic legends, here
, you will recognize that this illusory image is the projection of the power of Bahamut, one of the dragon god kings.
Then the 3721 Linfield rifle in Li Mochen's hand spit out gunfire, and the huge gunshot roared, causing the demiplane in the "Land of Destiny" magic tower to roll away with fierce waves of wind.
The next moment, less than a thousandth of a second later, the top wall of the 'Magic Source Realm' was annihilated on a small scale. Then the twelve-story mage tower encountered the same 'energy conservation' magic as before.
The tower suffered the same fate. After a violent shaking, a huge ball of flames appeared.
At the same time, there was also a majestic surge of magic aura and magic energy.
The twelve-story magic tower also lost control after the flames erupted and began to fall downwards.
"Anthony, can you help me control this magic tower? Don't let it fall down. You should be able to do it, right?"
As Li Mochen spoke, he changed targets. He really wanted to kill the enemy's vitality to the greatest extent, so the fourth target he aimed at was the demigod Clara Kunzel, the demigod with a figure like a young girl.
The magician.
As for Ibrahimovic Garrison, this person is also very powerful and full of potential. However, Roland Benedick, the defector, has restrained this person very well. In a short period of time, he is not worried that Ibrahimovic Garrison will escape.
"As you command, the mighty Lord Andre!"
Just as Anthony was smiling bitterly, Li Mochen had already made a wish to definitely kill 'Clara Konzel'. More than four hundred rays of merit from the 'Shenxiao Spiritual Purple Pagoda' dissipated again. At the same time, Li Mochen
The power projection of 'Bahamut, the Dragon God of Destruction' appeared behind him again.
"Canopy!"
This bullet, made by Anthony Braden himself, first traveled to the star realm, and then entered the dark world, directly blasting the brain of Clara Konzel, who had escaped into the dark world. Then this
The demigod warlock with the appearance of a young girl had his brain exploded like a watermelon, setting off a huge wave of demons in the dark world.
Then Li Mochen's next target was the demigod Eden Condren - this was not because the latter had stronger combat power or better escape ability, but simply because this person was far away from where he was aiming.
The field of view in the mirror is much closer and requires little additional adjustment.
However, purely in terms of 'threat' power, a demigod shadowman who comes and goes without a trace and can complete the assassination silently does have unparalleled deterrence.
Then when Eden Condron's entire body was annihilated into dust after being shot by 'Longwei'.
The Red Widow Caroline Zhukov, who was fighting fiercely with Eden Condron and was entangled with her enemy so that she could not escape, was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Wow——"
With shock and admiration in his eyes, he looked above the city of Atlanta in the direction of the Swade Manor.
——The sniper has not changed his position since the first shot started roaring. He has been unleashing firepower wantonly in the eight-story magic tower above the Swade Manor.
"What a surprising BOSS. Such a sniper is like the scythe of death."
Rowling Zhukov couldn't help but sigh, and then the figure of the demigod shadower jumped into the shadows. Since her current opponent is dead, she has to find the next one.
The salary and benefits Li Mochen gave her were very generous, and he also restored a lot of life to her, so the Red Widow was happy to serve Li Mochen.

At the same time, everyone gathered in the Oval Office of the White House had pale faces and held their breaths.
The magic projection that appeared in the center of the Oval Office was shocking and impacting their hearts.
"A god-level sniper, a brutal killing. It seems that my divination has come true this time."
The executive director of the New World Magic Association, the magician Torre de Oro, chuckled: "Your Excellency, the President, you have to give me a bonus or approve my funding application for the two research projects. I prevent you from doing that today.
It’s a stupid decision, isn’t it?”
However, what he received was unkind looks from several people around him. De Oro's advice was indeed helpful, but the problem was that this was not a good time to ask for credit or reward.
"We have to stop him! Stop him from continuing to shoot."
White House Chief of Staff Loren Calderon's lips were already blue and purple: "This is a crime, a crime against the country! Those are demigods."
The president behind the desk also looked at Ms. Christy Blade with expectation.
——After all, they are demigods belonging to the American Federation, and each one of them is very precious.
Even though the country they are in has become the overlord of the light world, if we only look at the number of demigods, they do not have an absolute advantage in this world.
On the opposite side of that ocean, there are two countries with full potential. Their number of loose immortals and demigods is generally higher than that of America, and they are more united and cohesive.
"I can't believe it, Mr. President."
Ms. Blade shook her head solemnly: "After all, that person is not Professor Estandine's apprentice. I haven't done anything or said anything for him before, and I can't ask him to make concessions for me now."
There was a hint of disappointment in the president's eyes. Then he looked at his national security adviser.
"Is there any way? Jenkson?"
"There is nothing we can do, Mr. President."
Jackson Richard shook his head: "We have only mobilized seven demigods to the vicinity of Atlanta. However, once there is any hostile move against the Wildenstein family, it will lead to uncontrollable danger. But we currently have the ability to control the situation.
Although several gentlemen of magicians are able to
They arrived at the scene a second after your order was issued, but their mage tower is far away from Atlanta. They are not real magicians. Without the help of the mage tower, they cannot cast forbidden spells 10,000 kilometers away from the mage tower.
Curse. Unless you ask the gods to take action——"
"This is impossible!"
The speaker was Treasury Secretary Lawrence Rockefeller, who almost copied the words of the white-headed magician: "The 'Treaty for the Partition of Gods and Humans' signed by magicians and gods at the Pantheon two thousand years ago, and the 'Absolute Treaty' of the Eastern World.
The connection between heaven and earth is the cornerstone of the existence of this civilized world, and we cannot violate this treaty."
Jackson Richard had no reaction to Lawrence's words and continued: "Give up, Mr. President! Those demigods, we can't save them. The .3721 Linfield rifle shoots very fast. It is a light sniper."
gun, when you make the decision to save them and pass it to the city of Atlanta, those guys will be killed by the sniper
Blow your head off. So what we have to worry about now is the follow-up aftermath. First of all, the several demigod action teams we arrived at the scene entered Atlanta. Although their abilities are no longer helpful to the battle situation, they are still very good for disaster relief. This
It can improve the image of the CIA, FBI, DHS and other intelligence agencies, and is also beneficial to your personal reputation."
Hearing this, the President couldn't help but nodded slightly: "That's a good suggestion, Richard. Please help me convey this order."
"I'm already doing it, Mr. President!"
As Johnson Richard spoke, he wrote something on a drawing board flashing with magic aura: "In addition, I suggest that the President's Office issue an order and the military mobilize materials and manpower for rescue work."
"Secondly, Andre will not allow General George Mattiola to leave. He is unlikely to compromise with the National Association of Progressives and the Violet Family. Then if General Mattiola dies, then the Wildenstein family
Conflict with the National Association of Progressives is inevitable. Even if we cannot prevent it,
We must also avoid a demigod-level all-out war from happening again. Also, we have to adapt to the fact that a new supreme family exists in the land of America. Although their power in the political arena and business map is still relatively high.
Weak, but their overall force is extremely powerful——"
"It also has influence. The rise of Rising Sun Media, the fifth largest media group in the country, is already a general trend and it is difficult for us to stop it. I personally suggest that for this time's Senate by-election in South Carolina, we can recommend South Carolina
Ms. Drew is running for election. This can unite the power of the Wildenstein family, and also weaken the expansion pace and power of 'Rising Sun Media', which is killing two birds with one stone."
At this moment, everyone in this office looked extremely solemn.
