BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Thunderous gunshots roared again, bullets smashing into a stone wall one after another. Sparks flew as chunks of stone shattered and fell.
On the other side of the wall, Ariana crouched low, pressing her back against the cold surface. She gritted her teeth and glanced at a thin cut on her arm where blood trickled down.
"These are annoying," she muttered.
Being an S-ranker did not mean absolute protection. The bullets they were firing were heavy, enchanted, and clearly superior to normal weapons.
When Kael, Melvin, and she attacked together, the gunmen struggled to track them. But Kael's sudden disappearance left a gap, and many gunmen began focusing their fire on Ariana.
She had no choice but to stay under cover.
"Damn it," she cursed under her breath. "Where did you go in the middle of the battle?"
Just then, another series of explosions shook the area.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The gunfire suddenly stopped.
