One kilometer away from the park woods, on the rooftop of a building, two figures could be clearly seen.
One was lying on the ground, holding a formidable sniper rifle, while the other stood on the rooftop, gazing toward the park woods.
The one lying down with the sniper rifle was Lisa, and the one observing the park was Mia.
"Ethan's guess was spot on. This person did have malicious intentions, but he underestimated us," Lisa said.
Using the high-power scope equipped with the sniper rifle, after taking out the target with one shot, Lisa immediately adjusted her angle, tracking the moving Lance while charging a new energy bullet to provide timely fire support to Ethan if needed.
**[Fatal Bullet]:** Different types of specialized bullets can be created based on the firearm used.
Lisa had developed two types so far: one for a black and white dual pistol and another for a sniper rifle.
Lisa's [Fatal Bullet] might seem like a Manipulator ability embodying a firearm, but it's actually a Transmuter Nen.
The manifestation of firearms is merely auxiliary, designed to enhance the power of her nen bullets, or it's the 'restriction and vow' Lisa set to boost their power.
1: Nen bullets can only be fired using a firearm!
2: The strongest sniper rifle bullets grow more powerful the longer they're 'charged,' requiring a minimum standard of ten seconds for charging!
These are the 'vows and restrictions' defined by Lisa.
While Lisa 'charged' new bullets for her sniper rifle, Mia, watching the park from afar, was not idle.
Though she seemed inactive, her Nen was fully engaged.
In the woods where Lisa's target was shot, small 'sprites,' the size of bees, flitted back and forth, their wings gleaming.
**[Guardian]!**
This is Mia's Nen ability, an extremely rare specialization type.
'Sprites' are one of the abilities derived from [Guardian], called 'Scout Soldiers.' They're mainly used for reconnaissance, transmitting the visuals and sounds they capture back to Mia.
Lisa's precise snipe on the hidden target was aided not only by her sharpshooting skills but also by Mia's 'scout soldiers' detecting the opponent's location.
Now, Mia continued her reconnaissance with her 'scout soldiers' to determine if there were any other hidden enemies nearby.
**Return to the park.**
Ethan's retreat was prompted by the danger sensor of the [Emperor Engine] being triggered.
When the hidden enemy released the poison gas, the [Emperor Engine] immediately alerted Ethan, guiding him to make the best decision to escape the poison's spread.
As for why Lisa and Mia were nearby, it was due to Ethan's foresight.
Ethan never hesitated to speculate with the utmost caution, a 'knowledge' honed from his five years of existence in this world.
He chose to leave with Lance, not only due to confidence in his own strength and the danger sensing of the [Emperor Engine] but also because he had coordinated with Lisa and Mia in advance, with the two women providing hidden support.
Having discovered the enemy's intentions and their murderous plot, Ethan showed no mercy.
As Lisa took out the hidden threat, Ethan, safely distanced, turned a cold gaze toward Lance.
"Ricochet Thread!"
He raised his hand, mimicking a gun with his finger, and fired a series of sharp silk bullets rapidly.
Swish, swish!
The 'ricochet thread' cut through the air, flying toward Lance at incredible speed.
Lance, constantly moving to avoid being sniped, noticed Ethan's attack and swiftly dodged the incoming 'ricochet thread.'
The 'ricochet thread' missed Lance and struck park facilities in the distance, easily penetrating the metal structures and leaving a series of holes.
"Damn!!"
Lance didn't rejoice at evading the 'ricochet thread.'
The current situation had taken him by surprise.
His original plan was to paralyze Ethan with poison gas released by his ally and then kill Ethan himself, securing an excellent 'trophy.'
But now, not only had Ethan unexpectedly avoided the poison, but his ally was also inexplicably sniped.
"First deal with the guy in front, then address the hidden sniper!"
Thoughts raced through Lance's mind as he quickly made his decision, his gaze on Ethan filled with murderous intent.
He's no amateur. Despite having a smooth path under his sister's protection, he possesses fighting experience and the ability to handle emergencies.
**"Puppet of the Dead!"**
Swish!!!
Nen activated, and two eerie figures emerged from Lance's body, one on each side, as if he had performed a cloning technique.
Pale faces, dark eyes, indifferent expressions.
The figures were not real clones but two spectral entities, one male and one female.
Their appearance was bizarre, resembling fierce ghosts from Ethan's past life.
Boom, boom!
Powerful nen erupted around them as the male and female specters showed no hesitation, moving like cheetahs to quickly attack Ethan.
Swish, swish!
Ethan's eyes locked onto the advancing specters. Noticing their ghostly appearance, his eyes flickered slightly.
However, his hands didn't falter. He continued his 'thread' attack, while his other hand joined in, mimicking holding a gun with both hands to rapidly shoot a stream of bullets.
**Spring Thread**
The two specters aligned with Lance, and Ethan's 'ricochet thread' was directed at the two advancing specters.
There was no dodging.
Whether to shield Lance or for another reason, the two specters faced the incoming 'ricochet thread' head-on, crossing their arms to protect their heads.
