Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

Layla and Kaguya instantly became alert, ashamed of their carelessness, and anger surged within them!

Using the exceptional eyesight of the dwarf race, Lyra noticed a blurry black figure in the far distance, rapidly fleeing with the help of a magical artifact.

"Damn it, it's too far away!"

She immediately realized that with their agility, there was no way they could catch up!

"If it's Ryu, there's still hope..."

Ignoring his own wounds, Shimomura Izumi calmly tried to raise his gun to retaliate, but the enemy was already far beyond his firing range.

"Unfortunately, I didn't bring a sniper rifle with me this time..."

Her wrists were stained with blood, but what was more noticeable was that she gradually felt dizzy and her consciousness became blurred.

"The arrow was poisoned..."

Leila rushed over in a panic to help Shimomura Izumi up, gritting her teeth.

"That guy is deliberately targeting you to keep us from pursuing him!"

"How...how are you feeling? What should I do?"

Perhaps because of the inclusion of Sato's name, even in this situation, Shimomura Izumi's mind was able to make a rational judgment.

"My IBM can fly, but it's not very fast. Considering the time it takes for me to resurrect, that guy will probably be completely gone by then."

After a simple calculation, Shimomura Izumi leaned against Leila's chest, looked up at Kaguya with difficulty, and tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Lord Rhodes said that Lady Kaguya has a special move that can slice people into minced meat..."

Kaguya's pupils contracted slightly, and she instinctively gripped the hilt of her sword tighter.

"You mean...?!"

Inside the abandoned church.

Between the crumbling walls, the animal trainer anxiously peered through the cracks at Alyssa, who was flying freely in the sky.

The red-haired woman shone like a fiery meteor, a smile of excitement on her face. Wherever her sword touched, the pterosaurs cried out and fell, easily shattering his carefully prepared trap.

"That's impossible... I didn't see any chanting, and there was no movement from any magical artifacts... What's going on with that guy?!"

He muttered to himself in a low voice, biting his nails, his face contorted with unease.

"How could humans possibly fly... My darlings are invincible!"

Just as he was about to break down, he suddenly heard the steady footsteps of leather boots crunching over gravel behind him.

He turned around abruptly and saw Jun Suzuki expressionlessly holding a strange short-barreled weapon, pointing it at his forehead.

Damn it, have they given up on saving the civilians?

They found us so quickly?!

Although he had never seen that kind of weapon before, it instinctively made his hair stand on end, and alarm bells rang in his mind instantly—danger!

"Do not impulse!"

He cried out in surprise, but his finger flew to the magic item button on his waist.

The metallic light spread instantly, and a thick metal barrier appeared out of thin air, sealing off the surroundings and protecting him completely!

The next moment, the sound of gunfire echoed, bullets sparked and left only shallow scratches on the metal surface.

Inside the defensive wall, the beast tamer looked at the unscathed metal wall and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ha, ha, whatever weapon it is, it's useless now!

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, forced himself to remain calm, and shouted triumphantly from his superior position.

"Come on, don't waste your energy. Even a Lv3 adventurer can't break my absolute defense in a short time!"

"Those boring novelties should just be put away!"

Jun Suzuki walked to the metal wall outside, tapped it a few times with her fingers, and frowned as she heard the dull thuds.

Handgun bullets can't penetrate this thing...

The animal trainer noticed Suzuki Jun's actions, leaned against the sturdy inner wall, and called out cheerfully.

"Heh, I already told you. You should just give up. You can't break this thing."

He even went so far as to feign concern and offer advice in a high-pitched voice, his tone full of insincere tolerance and condescending pity.

"Actually—in the end, we don't need to fight each other to the death, do we?"

"Although I ambushed you, none of you were injured, were you? Besides, you killed my carefully nurtured treasures. In the end, I'm the one who suffered a loss."

"How about we each take a step back? I won't continue the attack, and you can both leave. What do you say?"

"Don't you pride yourselves on being 'just' and 'guardians'? Shouldn't your most important task now be protecting the people you care about?"

"Are you going to delay the rescue of your companions because of someone as insignificant as me?"

With full firepower and the help of Ryu, and with the assistance of Jun Suzuki's IBM, Alyssa has already taken care of all the monsters.

When Alexie and Ryu ran to the dilapidated church, they happened to hear the strange, sarcastic words of the animal tamer coming from inside the metal walls.

Liu's face suddenly darkened, his fists clenched, and he was furious.

"Damn it, I really want to find Rhodes as soon as possible, but... the thought of letting this guy go like this makes me furious!"

After saying that, Ryu almost instinctively prepared to cast a spell on the metal wall, but was suddenly stopped by a hand.

Alexie calmly stopped her, her tone suppressing anger, yet she remained rational:

"Although I really want to find that guy, I have to admit that he has a point."

Alexie's expression also showed some reluctance, but she still made the most rational decision at that moment.

“We can’t waste our time and magic on these small fry. I’ve seen that special metal before; even if the two of us worked together, it would take a lot of effort to split it.”

Liu gritted her teeth and lowered her head, her fingertips turning white, but she was powerless to refute.

Hearing the girls' argument, the animal trainer gave a smug yet disgusting smile and deliberately uttered provocative words.

"The person who spoke is the leader of the Justice Clan, right? You're right, that's the kind of judgment a smart person should make."

"Don't let a small matter cause you to lose the big picture, or are you self-proclaimed champions of justice willing to disregard others for the sake of a momentary grudge?"

"If they really did that, even a 'villain' like me would be a little disappointed."

Alexie clenched her fists. The guy's disgusting words infuriated her, but she could only temporarily suppress the urge to recklessly slash at him, and made up her mind:

"Let's go, let's find Rhodes first—"

"and many more."

Suddenly, Jun Suzuki took off his glasses and turned around, a calm smile appearing on his face.

"Do me a favor, it won't take much of your time."

Alexie paused for a moment, then nodded silently.

"...What do you want me to do?"

Jun Suzuki raised his right arm and extended it calmly towards Alicia.

"Chop it down."

The air solidified instantly.

Alisha stared in shock, her eyes widening, while Ryu cried out in surprise.

You're saying—

"While I appreciate your concern, let's not forget what Rhodes gave us."

Jun Suzuki interrupted her with a calm and resolute voice.

Let's be decisive and efficient.

Alexie's pupils suddenly contracted as she finally remembered the gift Rhodes had given them—the blessing of resurrection!

Even knowing this, the act of cutting off her companion's arm in public still pierced her heart.

While it's true that being brought back from the dead can heal all physical injuries, what's the point of deliberately cutting off an arm, other than torturing oneself?

She didn't understand the deeper meaning behind this action, but after seeing the reassured look in Suzuki Jun's eyes, she was persuaded.

"...This is the first time I've ever attacked my own comrade."

Alexandra slowly drew her beloved sword, her voice choked with emotion yet resolute.

"I will sincerely apologize to you later, but for now—I have no choice but to offend you!"

The knife flashed like lightning, and a spray of blood splattered.

Jun Suzuki's right arm, marked with resolve and blood, traced an arc before falling onto the shattered ground.

Her expression remained calm throughout, and she even showed a faint smile.

“Alice is so gentle, I didn’t even notice the pain.”

Liu turned her head away, unable to bear it, her nails digging into her palms, her inner self-reproach almost turning into sobs.

Chapter 73 Pay attention, this is our fighting style! (Please subscribe and vote!)

Ryu constantly reflected on herself.

I'm not strong enough yet; I can only watch helplessly as my companions get hurt right in front of me. I must work harder!

Jun Suzuki, clutching his severed right arm, turned and sat down in front of the sturdy metal wall.

She pressed the cut of her severed arm hard against the metal surface, then held the pistol in her left hand, pointed it at her temple, squinted, and smiled at the two dumbfounded women.

See you in a bit~

boom--

The sudden gunshot startled the animal trainer.

He quickly checked the metal wall, but there wasn't a single crack, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What, another useless attempt?"

From the very beginning, he couldn't understand a word the girls were saying.

All I know is that they seem to think they have a way to break down the wall.

However, he expressed his disdain for this.

He would naturally believe that the two leaders in the organization could break through it.

Even the fierce Freya Familia member, the Beastmaster admitted that given enough time, he could break through her defenses.

But for a mere level 3 guy to do something like this is so far-fetched it's laughable!

"Hey, hey, hey, why have you been so quiet since the beginning? Didn't you say you wanted to catch me? Didn't you want to kill me? Why are you all silent now?"

Inside the impenetrable metal cage, the animal tamer was completely at ease.

He leaned against the inner wall, shaking his head and shouting loudly outwards, his voice filled with contempt and smugness.

"Why are you helpless against my [Absolute Defense]?"

"It's a pity your comrade was surrounded and killed, while you're acting rashly here. If you keep dragging this out, you might end up only collecting his corpse."

He leisurely fiddled with the beads in his hand, humming a little tune, planning to retrieve the control collars as soon as the girls retreated.

This failure was simply due to incomplete intelligence!

Who would have thought that Alexandra actually had a hidden ability to fly?

She usually pretends to be innocent and cheerful, but she's actually quite cunning. I really underestimated her!

A hint of apprehension flashed in the animal trainer's eyes.

Although we lost some combat power, it wasn't a loss to be able to uncover that guy's trump card.
