Ning arrived at the rooftop in a flash and saw Larissa struggling against the vampire woman, both of them struggling over the gun. Larissa wasn't weak at all, having Imp-blood flowing through her veins, but that was somehow being dwarfed by the vampire.
Vampires had superior strength to humans, but not to Infernals or Imps, so this strength was quite abnormal, likely something given to her by Tritus. Constellations loved making apostles no matter where they were.
As the two struggled with the gun, it triggered again, this time the bullet shooting directly at Ning.
The bullet struck him in the chest, causing Larissa to gasp in horror, loosening her grip. The vampire got the upper hand and pulled the gun away, but she too was a little distracted by Ning being shot.
She hadn't expected the task to be so easy.
Of course, it was never that easy.
Ning felt at his chest, a look of shock and pain filling his face, only to get rid of the facade immediately as a grin filled it instead.
