Facing dozens of Ethereals, Su Chen gripped his Twin Ether Blasters, his eyes filled with excitement.
The inherent skill of [All Weapon Master] made the guns feel like an extension of his body, obeying his every command.
He lightly squeezed the triggers, the crisp click of the mechanisms echoing incessantly.
The silver and white pistols continuously fired bullets, smoke and muzzle flashes erupting from their barrels.
Su Chen pushed the maximum firing rate of twelve rounds per second to its limit, the bullets spewing from the muzzles almost forming a continuous line of golden-red fire.
Despite such a high rate of fire, his accuracy remained impeccable.
Each bullet seemed to be imbued with life, arcing through the air and striking the cores of the Ethereals.
The Ethereal core is a vital organ for the Ethereal's survival and for receiving Ether energy. Without shattering it, the Ethereal possesses continuous regenerative abilities.
Destroying the Ethereal's core is a quick way to eliminate them, but that doesn't mean the core is fragile.
On the contrary, the Ethereal core is several times harder than other parts, and a single Twin Ether Blaster bullet cannot shatter it instantly.
Only one of the Twin Ether Blasters, with the power of a sniper rifle, can achieve a one-shot kill. However, its firing rate is too slow, so it can only be used as a supplement.
But that didn't matter to Su Chen; if one wasn't enough, he'd just use another. The one thing he wasn't short on was bullets.
Bang!
Cracks appeared in the Ethereal's core.
Bang!
The core's cracks widened, and the Ethereal let out a roar.
Bang!
Three bullets consecutively hit the core of one Ethereal.
The colorful black core was shattered by the bullets. The Ethereal fell to the ground, truly dead.
With twelve bullets fired every second, excluding those that hit limbs and torsos, at least one Ethereal died and three Ethereals were heavily wounded every second.
"Roar!"
The death of their companions did not instill fear in the Ethereals; instead, they attacked Su Chen even more frantically.
The sharp claws of the beast-shaped Ethereals, the Ether energy blades on the arms of the humanoid Ethereals, the Ether energy bullets fired by the mechanical Ethereals…
All sorts of attacks were hurled at Su Chen almost simultaneously.
But it was useless.
With Su Chen's keen perception and agile marksman skills, he could evade most of the attacks.
And the few he couldn't avoid were rendered ineffective by the invincibility frames during his dodges.
Su Chen weaved through the Ethereal horde.
Spinning, jumping, with his eyes closed.
No matter how the mechanical Ethereals, beast-shaped Ethereals, or humanoid Ethereals attacked, they couldn't even touch a corner of his clothes.
Every sidestep and every turn Su Chen made dodged several attacks.
With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed the fiercest, most accurate firepower, completely eliminating the Ethereals.
Such a real battle was more exhilarating and stimulating than any action game.
And his enemies were not human, so there was no need for any scruples, only slaughter was required.
His mind was empty at this moment, leaving only the joy and passion of battle.
This was Su Chen's first group battle, and all he felt was passion.
The primal wildness flowing in human blood awakened, and intense stimulation pressed on every nerve. At this moment, Su Chen perfectly matched the title of 'Terrifying Upright Ape'.
If firearms are a man's romance, then a one-man gunfight is the epitome of romance.
Su Chen seemed to partly understand the art of slaughter from the perspective of the legendary marksman, softly murmuring:
"I bloom in slaughter, like a flower at dawn!"
He moved back and forth among the Ethereals, the gunshots setting a deadly rhythm.
Half a minute later, with a final gunshot, the last Ethereal also fell to the ground.
Not only the Ethereals he faced, but even the Ethereals on Nicole's side were completely cleared out.
On the battlefield, shattered Ethereal cores were scattered.
Broken limbs and severed body parts of the Ethereals were strewn around, their bodies slowly dissolving into the Hollow.
The scene was cruel yet beautiful, an art of slaughter.
Su Chen put away his Twin Ether Blasters and bowed to the Ethereals' corpses.
Perhaps it was out of reverence for life, or perhaps it was to thank the Ethereals for their grand performance.
Meanwhile, the people who had been preparing to rescue Su Chen earlier were completely stunned.
Su Chen wasn't going to his death at all; he was confident he could wipe out all the Ethereals.
And he did indeed accomplish it; in just a few short minutes, the Ethereals were completely annihilated.
They didn't even need to support him; in fact, Su Chen could even support them with his bullets.
Moreover, after dealing with dozens of Ethereals, he didn't have a single scratch.
This was a completely overwhelming battle.
And bowing to the Ethereals' corpses, was he Taunting them for not trying hard enough?
However, that pose was quite cool.
Belle had already had Eous's electronic eyes take repeated photos to save as her phone wallpaper.
"Was he once with the military?"
Anby wondered, somewhat puzzled.
She clearly saw traces of professional training on Su Chen, although it was different from the training she knew, it had a distinct military style.
However, if Su Chen had been in the elite unit, it was impossible for her not to know.
A strong person like Su Chen would be extremely rare even in the elite unit.
"So strong? So handsome!"
Nicole looked at Su Chen, her eyes sparkling.
These were dozens of Ethereals; at least 50 of them died by Su Chen's hand, which was almost half the number that had surrounded them.
Furthermore, after dealing with the Ethereals, he didn't have a single scratch. This combat power was truly astonishing.
She was certain that even within the Hollow Special Operations, Su Chen would be considered an absolute master.
And she had stumbled upon such a master, who had even joined the Cunning Rabbit House.
She was incredibly lucky!
Nicole patted her briefcase, thanking it for its strong gravitational pull on Su Chen, which made Su Chen crash into her.
"Elegant, so elegant!"
Billy clapped his hands and said ecstatically, "I'm going to use that pose to end battles from now on too; it's as classic as the Starlight Knight's Knight Kick!!"
Saluting the corpses after battle, mocking the enemy's powerlessness.
Truly, just thinking about it is cool!
"Please, absolutely not." Belle interrupted Billy, "I really can't imagine you doing that pose."
A flashy, fiery red robot performing that action would completely ruin the aesthetic.
"Proxy, what you said is a bit too hurtful."
Billy clutched his chest, looking severely wounded.
