Jacob instantly felt something was wrong.
Because only he and Harrison knew that he killed A-10000, but for some reason, A-9999 also knew!
Which could only mean one thing: 'Could it be some device in their body that could alert others at the moment of their death? I was just wondering how they could tell Jerry was dead, but I thought it was just because they were monitoring him.
'But it turned out I was looking at it in the wrong way all along, their technology is far more advanced and unpredictable.' Jacob's expressions were grave, 'Then this could also mean the other three members are here as well and they knew about my plan to draw them here.'
Jacob looked at A-9999 with an icy glare and he felt there was something wrong with her and then it accrued to him, 'Fuck, she can feel the danger from me, but it shouldn't be possible with 50 meters distance.
'Should I kill her or wait and see why she was stalling? But that idiot might jump the gun too soon and give me away. I have a chance to kill her now. But what if the other three are planning something and they had more advanced trackers to track me down?
'The moment I kill her, I won't get the chance to retrieve her body before the other threes will charge in this direction, one of them might already be somewhere here already.' Jacob felt like he shouldn't take the shoot and wait to see what these four were planning.
He was hidden completely, and his breathing and heartbeat were almost none existed.
'I should wait before the strongest between them appeared and kill that person to get rid of that danger,' Jacob decided and waited.
Because right now, exposing him was not a good thing since they already knew he killed A-10000 they won't be here just to talk with him but to eliminate or capture him for information.
So, he would see what they were truly planning, and if the others showed themselves, only then he would risk exposing himself.
Harrison looked at A-9999 fifty meters away and couldn't help but sneered coldly, "Are you going to use your mouth to defeat me?"
A-9999 suddenly felt that this voice was somewhat different. She can only feel danger from Jacob when she were only twenty meters away from him. Right now, she can't tell if this is the real person or not.
However, when she looked at the mask and stature, she thought it was indeed Jacob. She would never forget his physical appearance, and that person also seemed to be quite confident and gave an air of arrogance, which means he couldn't be an impersonator. He was extremely confident in his prowess.
'Why am I even worried? I just have to capture him to see if he is real, or not and if he is indeed an imposter, then the real one will be here somewhere, lying in ambush. If he thinks he can trick me with these traps, then he's already dead.' She thought and finally took out something from within her cape.
It was a palm-size red chrome ball, and she suddenly pressed her thumb on its smooth surface before it glowed and then, "Here's a meeting gift." She sneered before throwing it toward Harrison.
Harrison was shocked, and before he could react, the red ball was already only an inch away from him. The next moment, it suddenly exploded in red liquid and engulfed him before he could react.
The red liquid completely wrapped around Harrison like rubber, and then before he knew it, he had turned into a red manikin, and he struggled to come out of this rubber substance.
A-9999 eyes narrowed as she mumbled, "It was too easy." She knew if it was, she could've dodged it, but this guy didn't even react in time. It was just a probe, but it was already over.
She knew it was a fake!
She suddenly shouted, "It's a fake! Stop focusing your scanners in this area and…"
"Wisss… splash…" A-9999's head suddenly blew into bits like a watermelon before she could even react, or anyone else, as a matter of fact. She died without even feeling anything, and the trees behind her also blasted in a long line with this bullet!
"Bang…"
A sonic boom sounded in the vicinity at this moment when A-9999's headless corpse touched the ground, and a dark brown energy barrier appeared this time on her body.
The bullet was so fast that it hit the mark before making any sound or giving the enemy a chance to activate their shield!
"W-what just happened?" A cloaked figure two hundred meters away from A-9999's corpse holding a scanner mumbled in bewilderment, without even realizing it.
However, making a sound was the biggest mistake he does, which was enough to be heard by Jacob, who had already entered 1X acceleration, and his hearing was double that of before.
The next moment, 'Bang.' The head of this cloaked figure was also blasted into bits, and he died just like A-9999, clueless and without even realizing it.
'Boom'
Another sonic boom rang in the vicinity.
Jacob loaded another bullet, which was 1 foot in size. Its bullet head was black and only three inches long, while the shell was white and 9 inches in size.
He was completely focused while holding his breath, and his acceleration was still at 1X.
The moment he saw Harrison getting trapped in that strange red liquid, he knew it was impossible to draw others, and they will know Harrison was a fake. He never thought even a bait would have to be on the same level as the prey.
Nevertheless, he decided to act and took the shot at A-9999 without hesitating anymore because dealing with three was much better than four.
He also activated his 1X acceleration, increasing his hearing sense. He knew the other three will make some kind of mistake after A-9999's uncanny death.
And he was right. Her death was so shocking that one of them even uttered words that were enough to give Jacob his location, and he took the shot.
To not get affected by the sound, Jacob had prepared special noise-canceling earbuds, and before the sound was made, he would put them in his ears or he would harm himself with this ear-piercing sound wave.
'Two more!' Jacob's heart was beating wildly, and he entered 2x stage at this moment, and his hearing raised again.
At this moment, the barrel of this sniper was red with heat, and a faint crack could be seen on the tip.
Nevertheless, Jacob didn't care, and at this moment.
'Ss…'
A tiny sound entered Jacob's ears of some dry leaves getting crushed in the three-hundred-meter southwest direction. The other party was clearly much calmer and trying to escape the vicinity while moving within the shades of trees so he won't get hit by a bullet.
However, Jacob was prepared for this and pointed his rifle in the escapee's direction. After making sure about the direction, he pulled the trigger before two dark earbuds appeared in his ears.
The bullet blasted some trees in its way and then landed on a shadow that just stepped in the bullet's direction and shattered the dark brown barrier like glass before piercing through his spine and blasting apart his stomach!
'Boom…'
Jacob saw the cracks in the barrier and the sniper's body appearing, but he loaded another bullet without caring about it. Only a single person left. He was close to killing all four high-ranking skulls and acquiring enough hearts to enter 100%!
Right at this moment, an enraged voice sounded filled with malice, "Sneaky Maggot, die! Earth Shatter!"
Jacob was shocked when he heard this voice. It came from over fifty meters behind him. It meant this person had snuck up on him despite his hearing, and he still couldn't detect his presence, as if he didn't have a heartbeat or breathing.
Yet, he didn't have time to think about it because the ground beneath the tree where he was hiding suddenly started to crack as if an extremely strong earthquake had just appeared.
Jacob didn't hesitate, picked up the rifle, and quickly jumped toward the other tree, but the area of this sudden earthquake was fifty meters, and the ground was shattering apart.
So, Jacob didn't have time to think as he was bussing running this area.
However, that malicious voice rang again. "Do you think you can escape after killing my people? Earth Spikes!"
Before Jacob could find the location of this voice, magically sharp spikes rose from the shattering group and quickly approached Jacob's potion.
Jacob's heart palpitated as he understood something. 'Magic, this is fucking magic!'
He never thought he would get the chance to experience fabled magic firsthand. It was unexpected, and he didn't have time to admire it because he was in an extremely dangerous situation now.
"Cursed immortality!
"Tell me, what is this species and where is his position?"
He knew this person was hiding his traces extremely well, and even with his hearing; it was impossible to locate him.
So Immortika was his only hope!
