Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 19 Offense and Defense
The enemy's strength was beyond our expectations.

At this time, the most sensible thing to do is to put on the grease and run away first.

Therefore, even with the pressure from orders from above, the sinister young man decided to stay out of the spotlight for the time being after some psychological struggle.

Tonight's sniper operation is just to gather intelligence...

The sinister young man named Vaughan convinced himself with this reason.

Then his will to fight faded like the tide, and he turned and ran.

When facing a powerful enemy that you think is difficult to defeat, it is not shameful to choose to avoid fighting.

Only as long as people are alive can the clock continue to move forward.

Only by staying alive can you get the "next chance".

Seeing Vaughn running away, there was a strange look in Moreau's eyes.

But now that things have come to this, and he has already developed the "rudiments of fighting spirit", how could he let Vaughn leave? While increasing his vigilance, he chased after him as fast as he could.

About three hundred meters——

While chasing, Moreau estimated the distance between them with his eyes.

It's far, but not a problem.

"Flying Star Swallow Returns"

While running quickly, Moro shot two flying stars backwards with both hands. After that, he did not look back, but stared at Vaughn in front of him.

The training principles that were usually implemented came into play at this moment.

While adjusting his position, Moro found the right moment by feel and easily dodged the two flying stars coming from behind.

shhh-

With a slightly sharp sound of breaking through the air, the two flying stars passed over Morrow and headed straight towards Vaughn in front.

Vaughn had just witnessed Feixing's long-range attack capability, so he was prepared.

When two flying stars came, he dodged them narrowly, and then watched the two flying stars draw two tracks in the night and hit a rock in the wild.

Bang!
In an instant, the energy contained in the flying star burst out, and the seemingly hard rock instantly shattered into pieces.

In order to avoid the two flying stars, Vaughn inevitably slowed down his escape.

At the same time, it also revealed Moreau's firm intention to keep him.

So when the battle became inevitable, running away became the worst option.

Vaughn cursed inwardly, but quickly adjusted his mindset and prepared himself mentally for the battle.

But even though the decision changed from avoiding battle to engaging in battle, he did not immediately stop running away.

As the distance between the two sides continued to narrow, Vaughn actually risked exposing his back to Moro and managed to trick Moro into using a few flying stars for pursuit.

This approach somewhat reduced some of Moro's potential.

It's hard to say whether this risky behavior of licking blood on the edge of a knife can bring some advantages...

But if Vaughn knew the mechanism of Moreau's Flying Star, he would definitely not take the risk to do such a thing.

Because of Feixing's unique second-stage power multiplication mechanism, it actually consumes 1 point to output 2 points.

Therefore, the amount of mental energy that Moreau consumed in the pursuit was not as much as Vaughn had expected.

Under this premise, Vaughn's body rhythm would inevitably be affected in order to avoid the flying stars that were shot one after another.

The flaw appeared just like that—

Of course, even if there is a problem with the rhythm between running and dodging, as long as Moro cannot instantly cast Flying Star, Vaughn can adjust the rhythm back in this gap and close the gap.

However, it backfired.

Vaughn would take risks in order to implement the tactical idea of reducing the amount of mental energy, and the reason why Moro was not stingy with the consumption of mental energy was naturally not entirely because of the mechanism of Flying Star.

Create a flaw and hit the flaw.

This is the result that Moreau wants to see.

His current "fa" is indeed unable to support the idea of a seamless attack, but he still has another weapon.

Seeing Vaughn's energy distribution being unbalanced under the Flying Star attack, and his running movements becoming disordered in rhythm -

Morrow decisively pulled out his pistol.

Marksmanship is something that is developed by using a large number of bullets.

In this world, as long as you have enough money, you don’t have to worry about not being able to buy bullets.

Morrow has money and mobility, so he is a good shooter.

Boom...!
Morrow raised his gun and pulled the trigger, emptying the magazine in a very short time, filling the gap that should have allowed Vaughn to breathe after the flying star was empty. In an instant, the bullet left the chamber, wrapped in heat, flew sixty to seventy meters at a high speed, and hit Vaughn's weak spot.

Faced with this sudden shooting, Vaughn's pupils shrank sharply and he stopped abruptly and turned around.

"fireplace"

Ability activated!

Vaughn's abdomen turned into a fireplace with burning flames, and at the same time distributed the remaining manifestation energy in front of him.

Twelve bullets arrived as promised.

Chi chi chi——

A stream of blood spurted out from Vaughn's cheek, shoulder and leg, which were the wounds caused by bullets.

As for the remaining bullets, some missed the target, while others flew into the fireplace above his abdomen.

Swish!
Those bullets instantly acted as fuel, causing the flames in the fireplace to burn violently and turn into a ball of flame.

Although the flames were not that fierce, they did cause Vaughn's aura to increase significantly.

"Now!"

With the added power, Vaughn acted decisively, pushed off the ground and rushed forward, attacking directly towards Moreau.

From Vaughn stopping to block the bullets to suddenly turning from defense to offense.

The whole process only takes one second.

But this short period of time was enough for Moreau to see the changes in Vaughn.

The fireplace materialized, the flames burst into flames after swallowing the bullets, and the obvious increase in the power of the gas was revealed.

The information presented on the surface undoubtedly points to one answer:

The ability to convert damage into beneficial effects!

And judging from the appearance of the flame, this gain must be time-limited.

Realizing this, Moro immediately stopped his offensive and focused on defense.

The opponent's capabilities have become clear, which has reduced the threat to a certain extent.

"What a quick reaction..."

Vaughn was surprised to see Morrow respond so quickly, but there was no pause in his offense.

With the briefly increased explosive power, he was able to step in front of Morrow.

Vaughn then threw a straight punch to Morrow's face.

Seeing this, Moro dropped his pistol and blocked the attack with his arm crossed.

At this moment, Vaughn stepped forward and hit Moreau's chin from bottom to top with his other hand.

Moro was unable to defend himself and could only step back to avoid the uppercut.

Vaughn took advantage of the situation and at the same moment Morrow retreated, he twisted his waist and kicked Morrow in the abdomen.

Bang!
This kick directly kicked Moro away.

Despite being violently pinned down by Vaughan, Morrow remained calm.

When the flames in the fireplace weaken, it will be time to counterattack...

I know this is the safest way to do it.

But I feel that I can't just stick to it.

That's too rigid.

While in the air, Moreau's thoughts changed, and he put them into action.

Before he landed, he endured the pain, raised his hands and shot two flying stars at Vaughn.

Then, when Vaughn focused his attention on the two flying stars, Morrow kicked a flying star the size of a marble behind him with his heel, and then landed steadily.

In a round where you should have defended to the death, you took a risky step to hide your weakness...

If it were Moro, who had little practical experience before his death and rebirth, he would definitely not have made such a decision.

now,

Repeated actual combat is filling in the gaps left by Moro in the form of nutrients.

This is the most critical and important first step in growing practical combat capabilities.
