This British-made long-range sniper rifle is considered the emperor of sniper rifles, but the executive department was still not satisfied with its performance and optimized the ammunition.
Angers loaded bullets, each gleaming with a cold blue light and engraved with ancient patterns on its tip, into the magazine. The primer of each bullet was painted red, a distinctive mark of high-risk weapons.
Angers casually tossed the heavy weapon to Caesar and said, "I remember you got a perfect score in shooting class."
Caesar, holding the gun in one hand, raised an eyebrow: "Headmaster, you still remember these trivial matters?"
“Caring for every student is my duty as an educator,” Angers smiled slightly. “Are you confident?”
"Maybe," Caesar shrugged.
Because the project started ahead of schedule, the Moniach, which was originally intended to be used, could not be fully modified. At this time, their research vessel was really old. The fact that it could reach such a high speed without falling apart was entirely due to the crazy people in the equipment department.
But if it continued running, it would probably explode into countless fragments on the river like a giant firework, right? Caesar could already hear terrifying creaking sounds coming from the deck; it was the old cabin cracking open.
Caesar had faced the dragon head-on and knew how powerful it was. He knew how terrible it would be if it caught up with him. Perhaps no one on the ship would survive. The reason why it was a maybe was because he was not sure of the principal's strength.
Hilbert Jean Angers, a legendary figure, the principal of Kassel College, the leader of the Secret Society, the chosen dragon slayer, has many titles and a glorious resume, but very few people have actually witnessed him in action.
At least Caesar never saw it; from the moment he enrolled, this elegant old gentleman maintained the image of a kind educator.
The situation is actually quite critical; he could die at any moment. But for some reason, perhaps because he has experienced so much, Caesar is surprisingly calm.
Even though death was chasing him, he felt no unease, and even had the leisure to wonder what kind of violent soul was hidden beneath the principal's educator's exterior.
Will that beautiful girl be cut?
Before Caesar could come up with a conclusion, he suddenly met the old man's cloudy gaze.
Angers looked at him quietly, his face expressionless, but Caesar had a feeling that he was being seen through.
"I don't like students who lie," the old man said calmly. "I know you're hiding something from me, but I don't want to pursue it for now."
"Now, hold your gun straight."
Caesar's expression was somewhat subtle, but he eventually nodded to show his obedience. Then he watched as the old man, without taking any weapons, turned and walked out of the cabin.
Standing alone in the wind and rain, Angers cut open a cigar and lit it, calmly watching the huge black shadow that was getting closer and closer to them, a faint golden light gradually appearing in his eyes.
Behind him were Caesar, Selma, and other officers who had raised their guns.
The research vessel was not the fully armed Moniach, and its firepower was very limited. Against such a behemoth, the effectiveness of firearms was greatly reduced, and it was difficult to cause fatal damage.
But now that things have come to this, the only thing we can do is to try our best to seize that glimmer of hope.
The research vessel gradually slowed down; it had to slow down because continuing to accelerate would only cause the entire vessel to disintegrate.
Beneath the water's surface, the enormous, dark figure drew ever closer. Finally, everyone could see its ferocious face clearly, its huge, lantern-like golden eyes burning with bloodthirsty light.
The black dragon opened its mouth, revealing countless sharp teeth. It let out a hoarse roar and pounced towards the research ship, its golden eyes filled with resentment.
Its size was so enormous that it cast a huge shadow when it pounced, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on it.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and their hands holding the guns were shaking so much that they could hardly hold the guns, but no one fired, they were all waiting for Ange's order.
The old man stood alone in front of everyone, his back ramrod straight, the hem of his suit jacket rustling in the wind. He held a cigar in one hand and fiddled with a folding knife he had pulled out from somewhere in the other.
Under the dim light, the cigar flame flickered, and just as the black dragon was about to arrive and the gold in Angers' eyes was about to ignite completely, a huge splash of water rang out.
A thin figure suddenly jumped out of the water, and his slender hands grabbed the edge of the research boat in the air, using the force to flip over and into the cabin.
Before everyone could see her clearly, the thin girl raised a bright red knife and slashed forward fiercely.
Almost instantly, the enormous monster raised its head from the water, opened its ferocious maw to bite the cabin, but before it could touch the hull, it was slammed back into the water by a tremendous force.
Everyone who witnessed this scene felt a sense of déjà vu, an inappropriate and absurd feeling, like watching someone play whack-a-mole.
However, this big guy is much uglier than a groundhog.
Before anyone could react, the girl in the black trench coat bent slightly, then suddenly leaped into the air with a burst of power from her calves, slashing down with her long sword as she fell.
The sound of metal cracking rang out as the longsword plunged completely into the dragon's head. A closer look revealed a huge wound there, the very same fatal wound that Genji had inflicted in the Bronze Castle.
Although I don't know why this big guy didn't die, it doesn't matter. If he's not dead, I'll just kill him again.
The black dragon roared in pain, violently shaking its body to try and shake off the ghostly figure standing on its head, but the girl didn't budge. She simply drew her sword and slashed behind her again.
There is the dragon's spine.
Because she rarely encounters living dragons, Genji's combat experience is actually quite limited. But I suppose that no matter how huge a creature is, it can't move if its spine is broken.
Genjiro's idea was simple and straightforward, yet very effective.
As her sharp blade slashed down, the black scales instantly crumbled, the flesh was split open, and finally the dark golden bones inside were revealed.
The hard bones quickly developed cracks under the immense force, and finally, unable to withstand the strain, they broke.
The dragon froze and began to twitch violently.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhinu simply drew out her knife and chopped it hard again.
With each slash, amidst flying blood and flesh, and to the astonishment of the crowd, she actually managed to sever that horrific head!
With a deafening roar, the enormous creature, now lifeless, crashed into the water. Just before it was about to fall in, the girl stepped onto the massive head and used the momentum to leap back into the cabin.
In the wind and rain, a black windbreaker rustled, black hair fluttered in the wind, and the tall, thin figure sheathed the knife and slowly turned his head.
The girl's face was somewhat pale, and a splatter of blood had accidentally splashed onto her delicate and beautiful features. The bright red stain painted a bold and vivid mark on her pale face, making her look like a glamorous ghost that had just crawled out of hell.
Looking at her eerie appearance, countless people secretly shivered, feeling a chill spread down their spines.
Noticing that someone was watching her, Yuan Zhinü smiled slightly and said apologetically to everyone, "I'm sorry, I almost let it get away."
"Thankfully, I found it."
Chapter 104 I know nothing about S-rank
Silence, deathly silence.
Everyone in the cabin stared blankly at the girl, their faces filled with horror as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Yuan Zhinv was puzzled. She didn't know why everyone had suddenly fallen silent and were looking at her with strange eyes.
Noticing that someone might be recording her, she hesitated for a moment, then gave a peace sign to the camera.
Everyone: "..."
Selma couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The sound was like a button, instantly breaking the stagnant and somewhat oppressive atmosphere. Everyone's expressions softened, and Angers even looked somewhat helpless.
Genji was even more confused. She put the sword back in its sheath and looked at Caesar: "Team leader, what happened?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, who was pretending to be innocent again and obediently calling him "team leader," Caesar felt extremely conflicted. At this moment, he no longer felt the joy of being recognized as the team leader; he only felt a headache, a terrible headache.
Fortunately, Angers spoke up.
"Boys, I think you might need to report to me about the underwater situation."
Yuan Zhinv still looked at Caesar: "Team leader, didn't you report?"
Her voice contained no unusual emotion, but for some reason, Caesar detected a hint of threat in it.
Caesar shrugged and said, "I reported it, but I was defeated and had to leave, so I don't know what happened after that. You can report it yourself."
This statement is essentially equivalent to you making it up yourself.
Yuan Zhinu nodded, somewhat satisfied with Caesar's tact, and finally turned her gaze to Angers: "Then I'll give you my report."
She followed Angers to the deserted rear cabin and made up a story. It was something like she encountered a dragon in the ancient bronze city, they fought it for a while, and then accidentally let it escape. During the fight, the dragon seemed to have triggered a self-destruct mechanism, and she almost couldn't escape.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the elegant old woman simply smoked her cigar and remained silent until she finished speaking.
"Did you find the cocoon of the King of Bronze and Fire?" the old man asked calmly. "Or did you find anything else?"
Yuan Zhinv thought for a moment: "I found a big thing in what is suspected to be the Dragon King's palace, a bronze box. I wonder if it is a cocoon."
"But the escape was too hasty, and I accidentally dropped it into the Yangtze River. It will probably need to be retrieved."
Angers' expression remained unchanged; he simply nodded.
“You did a great job. I’ll give you full marks for this practice. Leave the rest of the salvage work to us. You and Caesar can get some rest.”
Yuan Zhinv nodded, said goodbye, and turned to leave.
She could feel eyes staring at her; Angers seemed to be watching her constantly, and she could even imagine the suspicion and scrutiny in those eyes.
She knew Angers didn't believe her, but so what?
Constantine was already on a ship bound for Japan, and she had left the Seven Deadly Sins at the bottom of the Yangtze River, leaving them for Angers to retrieve.
The earth's crust closed up, burying the ancient bronze city once again. Even if one were to manage to enter again by chance, there would be no reward.
Although all this could not be said to be perfect, at least there were no clues. Even if Angers pried open Caesar's mouth, he would not be able to get any useful information because Caesar actually did not know the inside story.
However, just to be on the safe side, she decided to find an opportunity to use the Dream Eater to modify Caesar's memories.
After her bloodline was upgraded, her spiritual power was greatly enhanced. Now she could easily change the memory of ordinary people through the nightmare tapir. It was simply an advanced version of brainwashing.
However, modifying the memories of a hybrid is still somewhat difficult, as it could easily arouse suspicion. But she doesn't need to modify too much; just erasing Genji's appearance is enough, and there's nothing else to hide.
After carefully reviewing the entire process in her mind to make sure there were no hidden dangers, she finally felt relieved and went to rest.
Unbeknownst to her, a video was quietly uploaded to the Kassel College campus network, and its popularity soared in no time.
It was originally a crew member who thought he was about to die and wanted to leave a video to tell others what had happened, as a death replay.
Instead of getting a death replay, they captured that shocking scene on camera.
In the video, a ferocious and enormous black dragon opened its blood-red maw at everyone, its sharp, dagger-like teeth clearly visible. It lunged at the ship like a high-speed cannonball.
The video was incredibly clear, allowing viewers to vividly feel the oppressive presence of the dragon. It was also the first time many people had ever directly confronted a real, living dragon, so ferocious yet so magnificent, like a divine gift from the Creator.
What would happen if you were hit head-on by a high-speed artillery shell? Nobody knows the outcome, but it's safe to assume it wouldn't be a good one.
Some people couldn't bear to watch any longer, but just as the tragedy was about to unfold, a slender, dark figure leaped out of the water. She was like a savior descending from the apocalypse, standing in front of everyone.
The savior swung his sword fiercely, smashing the dragon back into the water with a single blow. What terrifying power that was! Huge splashes of water were stirred up on the surface of the water!
But the girl seemed so nonchalant, as if she hadn't smashed a dragon, but some random cat or dog.
The following scene was even more breathtaking. In front of the enormous monster, the girl was as small as a small snack before a meal, probably not even enough to fill the dragon's teeth.
Yet this tiny figure slashed at the giant dragon, leaving it utterly helpless. The dragon roared incessantly, struggling frantically, but could never shake off the ghostly shadow. Blood splattered everywhere, and the river overflowed.
Finally, the slender girl, with one stroke after another, actually managed to sever the monster's head!
