Poverty makes me capable of anything.

wow-

An energy sword blade suddenly popped out from the hilt. This lightweight melee weapon was incredibly fast at cutting through the air and had considerable cutting power. If it were to strike the fortress, the shotgun would definitely not be able to withstand it.

But just as the blade was about to make contact, the fortress vanished.

Instead, a light green sword was used.

Tornado!

bang.

The two swords clashed, and the NPC fighting Anran was forced back a step by the force, but he never expected that a 10-meter-high tornado would suddenly rise in the open space.

This is a tornado with wind-elemental cutting abilities.

The sudden attack caused him to lose his balance.

Losing balance is the most fatal flaw; many defensive moves become impossible, and even if they are managed, they are merely a facade.

An Ran didn't give him any more room to react.

He forced the energy sword aside with a single sword strike, then gripped the fortress he had just retrieved with his left hand and unleashed a barrage of mindless fire at its head.

Such close-range shooting demonstrates the shotgun's power to its fullest extent.

Despite his high health, the dense damage numbers rising like a red mist signaled that his health had been depleted.

Another 46 experience points earned, feeling great.

The next goal is...

boom!

Like a thunderclap, a gunshot rang out overhead, followed by Ella's anxious cry: "Anran, Anran, there are people behind us!"

Ella fired the first shot.

An Ran gritted her teeth, instantly activated her force field, and launched her Instant Step, which had just cooled down. Even so, she was still not at ease, as the shockwave from the burst of sword energy could also provide some defensive effect.

"what?"

The person suspended in the sky exclaimed in surprise.

His gunshot was incredibly fast, but it still missed slightly, and he himself sustained minor injuries.

-360.

If you could see it, you'd know he lost that much health.

The fixed damage caused by the surging sword energy is (300 + Strength * 2).

His reaction was indeed quick enough, and the bullet did hit An Ran, but not in a vital spot.

He was hit by a bullet on his right lower back. Although it didn't break his combat uniform, it still reduced his armor by 60 points.

The sudden impact almost made An Ran catch her breath.

She looked at the guy who had suddenly appeared with a gloomy expression; he wasn't among the six people who had initially chased after her.

Level 46, able to fly thanks to the equipment on his back, and holding a short-barreled rifle in his hand.

“What a pity,” he said.

5176.

This is Anran's current health. That shot just now cost her 404 health points.

It almost got taken down by a 404 error.

Things have been going too smoothly lately, and I've become a bit too confident in my abilities.

Quickly adjust your mindset and calmly use the tornado's cover to distance yourself from that person.

boom!

It was another long-range sniper shot from Ella, but it was dodged.

"You guys take care of that sniper, I'll handle her."

“Leave it to me, Anderson.”

Anderson.

Ella has a combat suit, so even if she can't win, she should be able to escape if she only has this one opponent.

An Ran's eyes blazed with fierce flames.

If you want a one-on-one fight, then let's do it.

Start with Sword Wind Blade.

A wind blade pierced through the remnants of the tornado, followed by a combination of a forward slash and a charged attack.

At such close range, An Ran fully demonstrated his talent in combat.

However, Anderson is no pushover either, being a level 46 elite monster.

His honed combat skills and adept use of mechanical tools made An Ran feel that he was more and more like herself, and it also reminded An Ran of someone.

Yes, it's Harrison.

"Rest assured, rest assured, someone else is here."

Ella's reminder caused An Ran, who had originally intended to give chase, to immediately turn back and create distance.

Sure enough, a small black dot on the horizon rapidly approached, getting so close that it could be clearly seen through the auxiliary mask that An Ran's expression suddenly changed. The person who had arrived was indeed Harrison.

Although Anran started plotting against Harrison after getting information from the thief, she was now in the open and had no chance of winning.

The other side has a lot of people, like Anderson in front of us.

Speaking of which, I don't know if these people's names were just randomly chosen, but they all have "son" in them.

Anderson already knew Harrison was coming, because he was the one who had called him over.

After his encounter with An Ran, he realized that it might take him a long time to subdue the girl on his own.

Harrison's group has been able to maintain its number one position on the bounty list for so long, which is naturally due to its strength. Each member's true strength rating is above G47, which is almost the ceiling level of individual combat power in the entire Blue Forest.

They have never failed to capture their targets.

"You can't escape."

Anderson said with a smile, pressing An Ran closer and closer.

His strength rating is G47, while Harrison, who is often referred to as number 1, has a strength rating of G49.

Even if Governor Fitch sent out his elite guard squad, they were no match for Harrison.

There are definitely no more than ten people in the entire Blue Forest who can defeat Harrison.

As Harrison's teammate, Anderson firmly believes this, and it's said that Harrison will soon be promoted to the G50.

"Huh, is that Boss Harrison?"

The three people who were chasing Ella also stopped in their tracks.

"Haha, that's right, it's Boss Harrison!"

"They're both finished," someone laughed loudly.

They were newcomers who had only recently joined Harrison. Although they were recruiting widely, not just anyone could pass Harrison's selection process.

"What are you laughing at? We lost three men here and still couldn't catch those two. We even had to call Anderson and Harrison over. It's so embarrassing."

"This……"

The cheerful atmosphere instantly became suffocating.

Doesn't this just demonstrate their incompetence?

He's only been in the gang for less than half a month and he's already lost so much face. How is he going to survive in this underworld after this?

"We must capture that sniper before Boss Harrison takes care of that woman!"

The other person nodded: "That's right."

"Go for it. She's just a sniper. Once we find her location, we're not afraid of not catching her."

……

"..."

"You're pretty good, but that's all you're good for. You'd better surrender obediently." Anderson's energy sword was clearly sharper than the unlucky guy An Ran had killed.

The low trees and shrubs were quickly cut into pieces by the highly concentrated energy sword.

If this girl had delayed for just five more seconds, her doom would have been nigh.

"you are vicious!"

An Ran snorted coldly.

At this point, continuing to fight them head-on would be unwise; in that case, let's retreat.

Running away is not the mark of a hero, but neither is An Ran a hero.

She's a 100% pure girl now, so what's wrong with running away?

It doesn't have a handle to begin with, so what else can you do?

If you're so capable, then face me head-on!

Anderson thought Anran was going to give up, so he didn't intend to kill her when he attacked.

"With your abilities, joining us would actually be a pretty good option..."

Before Anderson could finish speaking, An Ran suddenly gave him the middle finger: "You just wait! When I get stronger, I'll kill you all!"

The launch of the power-powered combat suit is scheduled.

The psionic core delivers explosive damage.

Flight speed: 670.

boom--

The ground cracked open the moment it started, leaving a shallow crater and splashing dirt all over Anderson's face.
