As Alina charged forward, the Sui clan's elder Sui Hanying stepped forward, standing before his subordinates, "I'll take care of her. The three of you will take care of that bastard hiding in that puppet. Beware of that thing that looked like an elephant trunk."
By the time Alina reached them, the three assassins backed away a couple of steps and the Sui clan's elder stood in her path with a sword. It was a gold-grade sword but of high quality.
Alina slashed at him with one of the daggers at a high speed. Sui Hanying managed to block the sword but as the force of her strike is greater, he got pushed back a couple of meters.
"Oraa…"
He didn't hold back and used his ether energy on the sword as well as on himself. An aura of ether energy covered him, powering up his physical strength. He kicked the ground and dashed forward, swinging the sword at her shoulder.
Alina simply raised her right arm and blocked the sword with the energy dagger. She didn't move an inch from the spot. Sui Hanying felt as if he had underestimated her.
"Go…" He roared at his subordinates.
Two assassins charged to the right and the remaining one charged to the left to increase the distance between them and her before they dashed towards the tank.
Alina commented with a smile, "It was indeed a smart move."
Sui Hanying felt as if something wrong going to happen. He tried to increase the pressure, "I won't let you get away."
"Sorry but I don't intend to. After all, my mission is to capture you." Alina replied to him, maintaining a smile.
"Twilight Shackles." She unleashed the skill.
Unlike the previous times where she unleashed it through her palm, this time, dark energy chains erupted from her back. There were three of them.
"No." Sui Hanying screamed and warned his subordinates who ore on their way towards their target. "Everyone, getaway."
"Hmm?"
The three of them glanced back and saw an energy chain with a blade is coming towards them, one per each.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey tried to change the directions but the chains followed them. The attack speed was much faster than their running speed. In the end, two of the assassins had their back pierced and the remaining one that tried to face it got his chest pierced by the blade before all of them fell lifeless on the ground.
"You…" Sui Hanying was shocked by the sudden turn of events. He was so confident in capturing them but the result proved him wrong. "I will kill you." He leaped back and landed on the ground, ten meters away from her.
"Whirling Blade," He unleashed his strongest skill to kill her right away. The thought of capturing was no longer on his mind.
With the sword pointing at the enemy, he leaped towards her and then, started to spin at a terrifying speed. Being a fire attribute user, this attack made him a spinning ball of flames.
But, in Alina's eyes, his movements are too clear.
"Shadow Cloaking." She activated her skill too and turned invisible for the next 60 seconds.
Sui Hanying not only found her disappear from his sight, but he also couldn't even sense her presence anymore. His skill attack had gone to waste and he was forced to land on the ground, a few meters from where Alina disappeared.
However, the tank was still in his sight. Staring at it with a deep frown on his face, he mumbled, "Did she run away from the battle? Some people have the ability to teleport. But, why? There's no reason unless her strength is only temporary." His eyes lit up in realization. "Yes, they are bluffing, all this while."
Coming to a quick conclusion, he pointed the sword at the Tank that is more than fifty meters away from him, and spoke loudly, "It looks like your servant deserted you. Because of you, three of my subordinates have been killed. You will dearly pay for everything."
Meanwhile, Mark, who was watching it from the screens, mumbled, "What is this guy spouting nonsense at this time?" He could see Alina crouching behind the enemy with her two daggers.
*Ding! Alina is in Shadow state, except for the host and spirit warriors of seven-realm and above, no one can see her.
"I see…" Mark nodded to himself in understanding.
Sui Hanying continued to speak in a confident tone, "After capturing you, I won't keep you as a prisoner at mines anymore. We'll throw you to our hounds and make you their... Argh…"
All of a sudden, he screamed in pain and collapsed on the ground. Both of his calves were cut off and he started to heavily bleed. Before he gets to his senses, something pierced his two shoulders from above, disabling his movements.
Just one movement of carelessness and the Elder was defeated by Alina with precise attacks.
*Ding! Alina says that she accomplished the task.
Upon receiving a notification from the system, Mark stepped out of the tank and walked towards the elder of the Sui clan.
"You bastard…" Sui Hanying roared in anger but he could neither stand up nor move his arms. There's some strange energy invading his body, blocking his ether particles. He felt as good as being paralyzed.
Standing before him, Mark looked at the fallen enemy coldly, "you have really made a big mistake on offending me deeply. Now, your whole clan will pay for your mistakes. You will surely be the witness. But, before that…"
Mark raised his left hand and his copper ring started to glow, "Absorb 2 luck points." He spoke outrightly.
Sui Hanying didn't understand his speech and wasn't in a situation to care about it too. He continued to spill out the threats. "I dare you to finish me off, right away, because whether you kill me or not, you two are finished. Our Patriarch will hunt the two of you. No one can shield you from his wrath."
"Alina, Cut off his tongue." Mark gave another order. The Android didn't even hesitate to pull out his tongue with her bare arms and raised the dagger with a wide smile on her face. She looked extremely sadistic at the moment. Sui Hanying's eyes widened and the rage was replaced by fear. He tried to move left and right, displaying his struggle but in vain.
Just as she was about to cut it off, Mark said, "Stop."
He caught her arm, "don't."
As she backed her hand away and dismissed the dagger, Mark kneeled on one leg to his height and said to his face, "You are our prisoner and I expect you to behave. The next time you dared to threaten me, I won't hesitate to turn cruel.
I may not have firsthand experience in torturing someone, but I had the knowledge of torturous methods that are usually used for interrogation, like starting from plucking out your nails, cutting the fingers or toes one by one, gouging the eyes out, or inserting the rod through the back. If I start using all of my knowledge on you, trust me, you will rather want to go to hell than stay alive. So, don't bring that demon out of me and turn me into a psycho, alright?"
Sui Hanying was shivering in fear as he saw the person in front of him is not by means, a lamb. The guy is more like a wolf or a hyena. He felt as if he was going to pee in fear at any moment. Thankfully, he didn't, or else, who knows what Mark would do to him. The Elder nodded vigorously and kept his mouth shut while Mark proceeded to collect the weapon and inspect it.
"Gold grade, forged with Bacralt steel and copper. Oh, a fire attribute wolf. That's rare indeed. It's a good one." Mark stored it in his inventory, thinking that he can let Alina use it in the future.
Nearly, one minute has been passed.
*Ding! 2 points of luck have been absorbed.
While Alina guarded the wounded elder of the Sui clan, Mark proceeded to walk towards one of the corpses to confiscate the storage ring. In the meantime, he opened the lottery wheel.
"Okay, I now have five points of luck. I won't get any luckier than this. Let's proceed."
He clicked on the spin. 300 credits have been deducted, reducing his credits to Zero.
Meanwhile, the wheel spun for a while. Mark's face was glowing in delight as he saw the wheel's speed completely slowed down but it is only two spaces away from the reward. It landed on +2.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm*Ding! You received extra two tries.
"Okay, let's be cool." Mark was happy but +2 isn't some great reward because now the wheel only has four rewards and 17 empty spots.
Taking a deep breath, he clicked on spin once again.
After a while, the wheel stopped on empty space, much to Mark's disappointment. But, then, a miraculous scene appeared before him.
*Ding! Better luck next time.
*Ding! You landed on empty space on the first try. +2-chance triggered.
"What the… +2 option is like this?" Mark halted his footsteps in shock. All the empty spaces were removed and the wheel was divided into four large sections. First is the question mark, second is the random bloodline, third is a unique skill, and the last one is the upgrade stone. "A 100% chance? Damn, the rewards in the lottery wheel weren't normal, after all."
Mark clicked on the spin with great expectations.
"If it lands on the unique skill, I can choose random bloodline with a lottery ticket and vice versa."
He was hoping for either of the two to acquire because the question mark is completely random despite how awesome it is going to be and as for upgrade stone, it will upgrade the system, probably unlocking a couple of functions and a new category in the store, which he didn't need at the moment.
Nearly 20 seconds later, the arrow slowed down but it is on upgrade stone. Mark was crestfallen a bit as the next one will be the Question mark and it is impossible for the arrow to point cross it with this turtle speed.
Mark was prepared for it. And just like he expected, the wheel stopped with the arrow pointing at the Question mark. Little did he expect this question mark to really bring a surprise to him.
*Ding! A mysterious package has been sent to the inventory.
After the notification, the lottery wheel turned back to normal with a countdown on the bottom and 21 spaces of which only three are filled with rewards.
"Open inventory."
Mark clicked on the slot with a question mark image. He then clicked on open.
*Ding! You unlocked the light tank- Sd.Kfz. 101. Check the Gallery for details.
*Ding! You unlocked 7.9mm x 57mm ammo. Check the Gallery for details.
"Wow, a light tank. Wait a second. This code is very familiar. Isn't it the series used during world war II? Hmm…" Mark went to the gallery and clicked on the image of the tank. The screen was enlarged and the details appeared below. This tank appeared shorter and doesn't have smoothbore cannon either but it did bring a satisfactory smile to Mark.
"Panzerkampfwagen-I, eh!"
