Chapter 883: Sneak Attack 1
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I… I… F…!!” the multicolored-haired girl could not close her mouth and was utterly shocked.
All kinds of ma.s.s-destructive weapons and powerful bombs that were only used against air battles.h.i.+ps, so many of these were being brought out by this guy at one go!
Such a big move was naturally unable to be completely concealed. Exclamations were just heard at Garen’s side when Fila looked over here. At first sight, the two’s vision instantly locked onto each other.
With a boom, the six-meter-high silo suddenly fired a white stream of light. It made a perfect circular arc as it was accurately aimed at Fila below, racing towards him.
The two were hundreds of meters apart. The stone steps of the library were very wide, roughly more than two hundred meters. At this time, it was too late too to dodge. Fila’s pupils instantly constricted.
“Spread out!”
He only had time to yell.
Several people behind him their faces immediately changed. They promptly separated and leaped away but were still a step too late.
A ma.s.s of blinding white light exploded, covering a hundred meters area of the entire flight of steps. Many innocent students were also caught up in it.
The more than five-meters-high aurora missile, with its instant high heat explosion, could destroy a Level Five Willpower field more than a dozen times in a flash. Even so, it could be neutralized if there were more Level Five Willpower fields because it would level out the power of the missile.
Intense light and heat burst forth, and Fila could only feel a scalding sensation. His clothes were singed and burned instantaneously. Everything around him was pale white and nothing could be seen at all. He let out his Willpower field in the form of a great snake but was still hit by the huge blast, and blood spurted out from his mouth.
“d.a.m.n you!!!”
He hollered. It was the first time in his life that he suffered so much damage. He forcefully withstood the energy field of the aurora missile and darted towards Garen, who was not far away.
But just then, he saw that Garen had just released several automatic tracking-type radiation bombs, which were flying over. The bombs were like small fishes that were being released, creating circular arcs from all directions and surrounding here.
“Good luck,” Garen lifted his hand to his forehead and he flicked it lightly. He smiled and turned around to leave.
Blazing light and heat erupted again. At that moment, it was as if there were numerous birds shrieking at the same time. The large number of bombs and horrific weapons released by Garen, with their automatic tracking devices, all hit the target at the same time. The explosion caused Fila to be shaken to the core and his Willpower field had not been stabilized yet. At this instant, the pilot’s Willpower was out of control and could not be controlled.
A thick black smoke broke out behind. Harsh sirens could be heard all over the city.
Garen made several jumps and swiftly landed on the top of a hovering car. He stood up and turned his head back to look at the scene he had made.
At the entrance of the library, a pillar of smoke continued to rise to the sky. It was also mingling with Fila’s unwilling angry roars but he was entangled with the energy field generator and so, was unable to get out.
“True enough, there sure is a difference in using a huge amount of money to buy a force field generator that can immobilize battles.h.i.+ps. The effect is so powerful.” Garen touched his chin and pondered. “Including this set of clothing, all the money that was robbed from others and this month’s income had all been used up.”
He looked at his wrist.w.a.tch and there were three hundred and thirty-one Universal Units left.
“This is the power of wealth…but I have to prevent others from dealing with me the same way.”
Nonetheless, Garen knew that others could not have had such terrific actuarial power like him, who could calculate Fila’s counteractions against some of the explosive force of the weapons and how much damage the remaining destructive force would cause.
This scene that Garen made, its power seemed horrific and even Level Five energy fields without a New-Moon Level resonance degree would also perish. However, after Fila’s full resistance, the residual lethality was, in reality, not as terrible as imagined. At the most, it would heavily injure Level Three and Two ordinary students. This did not violate the regulation of no killing within the monitored area.
Garen had used more than a dozen small binding force field tools to lock all the power within a certain range simultaneously. At the moment of explosion, these binding force field tools would detonate together. As one-off props, they would offset a part of the explosion power and at the same time, blow away those who were unrelated. This was the real reason that the death of other students had been avoided.
Explosive range, possible blasting points around the lethality parameters, possible responses from Fila, and the timely use of the force field generator to prevent Fila from running around and causing the tracking blast to impact others.
All of these had been designed by Garen through multiple simulated environments and computer modeling several hundred times before he’d come up with a perfect action plan.
“This is the terrifying part about high IQ crimes…” looking at his own hands, Garen himself felt that he was terrible.
“I don’t know how the situation of that Fila guy is. He should be expected to be either seriously injured or crippled. I’ve spilled part of the strength of his energy field,” Garen smiled and looked in the direction of the library. It was only a shrinking cube at this time.

“Ah… Ah!!!!!”
Boom!!
A statue was broken by Fila and it flew out tens of meters.
He was surrounded by thick black pythons and looked like an ancient deity, except that his clothing was tattered, his body was blue-black here and there, and more than half of his hair had been burned off, like a featherless rooster. His original display of powerful force and his prestige were all lost with this ridiculous image.
He vented by smas.h.i.+ng the statues around him ferociously and his body was releasing black smoke. He looked more like a refugee who had fled here from somewhere.
A few of his men around him had also been hurt but apparently, they were in a much better state than he was. This bombing attack was obviously targeted at him alone. All the lethality was restrained by the force field binding device in a small range and he took about 80% of it.
This horrific calculation and accuracy made Fila felt uncomfortable at this moment.
The most important thing was that the other party’s use of such brutal measures had not yet triggered the partic.i.p.ation of the city Administrative Bureau’s automatic management mechanism. Thus it was clear that such a method had not even cost the life of an ordinary student except for heavy injuries at the most. In this era, as long as there was enough money, one who was heavily injured could be restored or even have their limbs replaced.
“This is the terrifying part…” after Fila had vented for a while, his heart gradually returned to its original calmness. The colorless silver-streaked internal armor on his body slowly lit up and continued to flow. This was also the main reason he had not been seriously injured in the sneak attack just now. Such a high-tech internal armor had counteracted most of the lethality, but it also looked like it had to be sc.r.a.pped.
“…accurate to this point, it seems that the one who did this is not an average person…” Fila pulled off his tattered top and internal armor and swept his eyes across the onlooking students. The surrounding people felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave and swiftly retreated. There were not many people who were watching the excitement, to begin with. They were afraid that they would be dragged into it. After being frightened by him, everyone scattered like birds and animals and there was not a silhouette left to be seen.
His three men moaned as they crawled up from the ground. One had his arm blown off while half of the body of another was almost scorched. The last person had lost his hearing.
Looking at the terrible condition of his men, Fila was furious. He was suddenly attacked and even his own men were also tragically hurt.
“Find out!! Go find out!! Find out that guy’s ident.i.ty, patronage, find it all out!!” he roared, unable to suppress his rage.
The thunderous roars echoed non-stop. Fila’s terrifying Willpower field continued to fluctuate like a turbulent river. Ordinary people might not see it, but a powerhouse on the same level could see that he was not lightly hurt.
Tens of millions of Universal Units had been burned at the same time and could destroy most of the city in the outside world. Now, all of them were gathered together at one point for him to bear it all. Even if this guy were to have countless of life-saving props, the energy field was so powerful that it was enough to confront the Red-White s.h.i.+ning Mech’s pilot. At this time, he was also dazed by this money-laden surprise attack.
“Tsk tsk tsk… how awkward…” at the bottom of the steps, a tall man in a green trench coat led a group of people out of the car and walked up the stone steps. The leading man was like a natural leader. There was a peaceful yet depressed feeling of heaviness. He had exquisite facial features and skin. People could not help but wonder if he underwent plastic surgery.
“The ranking changes every day. It seems that today, I, Reyla, can pick up a good bargain,” the man in the green trench coat snapped his fingers lightly and all of a sudden, all around him were crowds of people. One by one, Level Three and Level Four students slowly came out of hiding. There were a total of twenty or thirty people, all wearing green badges, obviously the subordinates of the man in the green trench coat.
“Reyla, you think you can win against me because I’m injured?” Fila’s bronze-colored upper body was naked as he stared straight at the man below.
“Win against you?” the contemptuous man shook his head slightly. “It took me so much of effort to get so many people here. It’s not to win you, but… to kill you!!”
Before his voice had faded away, all the green badge students around glowed green at the same time. With a bang, a huge green net was agglomerated. It instantly enclosed Fila and his men with the speed of light.
“This is! Dimensional ion defense field!” Fila’s expression finally changed.
“Yeah yeah, it’s that. I managed to acquire some of its wreckage sixty-five years ago, spent tons of money to deduce and perfect it. Please don’t disappoint me…” Reyla grinned, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with a fox-like radiance.
A total of more than thirty people’s Willpower had been gathered together at the same time to form a huge torrent energy field, suppressing Fila’s group of four in it.
“Break through!!” with a fiery roar, Fila no longer held back. His whole body’s Willpower resonated and a seemingly rhythmic pulsing black light spread out in circles of powerful force field, which counteracted the pressure from the surrounding energy field.
His entire person was like an arrow released from the bowstring. As the explosion under his feet produced a huge driving force, he charged towards the front where Reyla was at.
*****************
“How spectacular…” looking far into the green reticle erected in the distance, Garen gently jumped down from the top of the hovering car. He twisted both his feet, directly counteracting the inertia force and landed lightly on a bridge above the road.
In the direction of Library No.1, clouds of green smoke rose and a giant bowl-shaped green reticle was clearly visible. However, the strange thing was that there were no vehicles of the Administrative Bureau moving towards that side. Obviously, the guy who made his move later on also had a powerful background. Under such circ.u.mstances, the Administrative Bureau could only choose to turn a blind eye and simply stand neutral.
“I say, no wonder those weapon bombs were sold to me so easily. Now it seems that someone had planned it. This guy is very calculating and even wanted to drag me into it. Luckily, I left in time,” Garen put his hands into the pockets of his pants and took out a pair of sungla.s.ses. The moment he put the sungla.s.ses on, his entire face had begun to have a slight change. His body contours and features began to give off an obscure feeling. Although his body’s strong muscles were still in shape, he now looked completely different from the previous image.
