步步惊心丽百度云

"I'm coming, I don't care what you think of it" She finished.

"Hah" I sighed, my eyes slightly narrowing as I stared at her.

"Follow me" I commanded, giving into my apprentice's desire.

Although I was intending for this to be a solo mission to test my prowess, I guess that I could allow Rhea to gain some combat experience.

"If it gets too dangerous I am bringing you out of the fight" I sternly warn, looking straight into her eyes.

A smile bloomed on her face as she nodded, the words seeming to go in one ear and out the other as she seemingly only registered that I was willing to bring her.

I walked out of the research hall, passing all of the other workers that were mad producing simple guns. I glanced between them, there were some that I thought I saw some talent in but most of them were ordinary, only here because they were good at following instructions.

Finally I reached outside where I could test my new senses that I had been suppressing while I talked with Darwin.

"Hah" I released a breath I did not know I was holding as my aether spread throughout the air.

Instantly my sensors were filled with data, the aether in the air gathering it and sending it back to me to process.

I found that I only needed to process the data as the spreading gif my aether was so efficient that I had covered the whole continent in seconds.

"Rhea, try and feel my aether" I commanded my apprentice who stood next to me seemingly mesmerized by the thick particles of aether that emanated off of me before dissipating into the wind.

Nodding her head Rhea agreed but her attention was still on my form.

flick

I flicked her head, a small grunt of pain and protest echoing out of her mouth as her focus was broken.

"Try and sense the aether not around me." I commanded her again and this time she had actually done what I had told her to do.

Her eyes closed as her brows scrunched in concentration.

"Nothing, I can't feel anything other than the usual aether"

A smile was brought to my lips as I confirmed my theory, it seemed like the aether that I let out to scan the continent was so thin that you could not sense it even when so close to me.

Finally I looked at the data, interpreting it and found the whereabouts of the Gauls that had attacked us.

Once again I took a breath and with it the aether that I had sent out was withdrawn, the aura around me settling down.

"I found them"

A nod and we were off, no more words were needed to be said between us.

…

I looked through the scope of the rifle that I was holding, hundreds of Gaul were sitting around the camp that they had set up.

I could not see their leader, only the lesser Gaul.

Taking a breath, I lined up my shot. Everything was taken into account, the wind, the environment, the air, even the rotation of the realm we were on.

Another breath.

BANG

The bullet rang out, as loud as any other and a head pooped like a watermelon. Blood spraying everywhere.

Again I lined up another shot.

BANG

Another dead, however by the time that I had sent the second shot l, going through all the calculations, they had found my spot.

The sound of their feet pounding against the ground as they charged at me, enraged at the killing of their comrades, rang in my ears.

I retreated from my spot, making sure that I made as little noise as possible. Delta behind me was hiding in some tree or something, most likely looking for the leader or she had already found him and had left.

Either one of those were possibilities as I was not able to sense Delta at all, her integrated technology was able to spoof my own sensors meaning that I could only find her when she wanted to be found.

Coming back from my thoughts I found that the Gauls had made it a significant way up and we're approaching my hiding spot.

With deft fingers, I disassembled the rifle I was using and put it away, bringing out a simple pistol of my own make.

BANG BANG BANG

​ I fired three shots, surprising them as they likely thought that I was going to continue hiding.

While they were surprised I burst out of my hiding spot a burst of bullets echoing my own arrival.

…

BANG BANG BANG BANG

I emptied the rest of my magazine into the last enemies, a horde of bodies behind me as I sat down.

Sighing I took a deep breath, throughout the whole fight I had seen no Gaul that was stronger than tier 7 and with the advantage of my mobility and firepower I was easily able to take them down.

Though that did not mean that I wasn't tired, no, it had taken a lot of concentration giving me a mild migraine other than that I aches in my legs, the constant running had taken a toll on my unenhanced legs.

"Delta?" I called out hoping that she was somewhere around her.

"Yeah?" She asked appearing in front of me.

"Why wasn't the… the"

"The leader?"

"Yeah the leader, why wasn't he here?"

"Forward camp" was the only answer I got, though it was enough.

The camp that I had assaulted was only a forward operating camp, meaning that there wouldn't be anyone high ranked here, just enough for the camp to be run.

"Follow," I was broken out of my thoughts by Delta who, again, had commanded me to follow her.

I got up from the ground that I sat on, my legs protesting however they had no say in this, with grit teeth I pushed on, running beside Delta despite my legs protest.
