At the moment between life and death, Sakai dropped the pistol, drew out the dagger she had hidden in her bag, and slashed it to her side out of instinct.
Ding!
There was a crisp sound of metal banging together, and a silver metal ball hit her blade like a bullet.
The immense force traveled up to her wrist and almost forced her to drop the dagger.
Sakai saw the girl at the entrance of the supermarket and there was a glimpse of surprise in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by deep fear. Based on her years of experience in dangerous situations, the girl in front of her was extremely dangerous.
There was no doubt that she also possessed a superpower.
And it was a powerful one!
"Did you kill Garek?" Sakai starred at Lilith as her right hand reached for the sword in her bag behind her.
"Are you talking about that sniper? You can say that." Lilith looked at the cautious Sakai with the same emotionless state and shrugged."Do you want to keep waiting? I don't care, but your time is limited."
Lilith just finished her sentence when the woman moved.
Without the slightest arrogance, Sakai immediately used her power to the limit in her first strike.
Crimson flares scattered in her hair, and the two blades, one long and one short, one forward and one back, were covered by the crimson light particles, and they instantly turned into ghostly flame, like blooming red lotuses in the rain.
Control of flame!
Among the four, her ability was the most aggressive!
The raindrops vaporized into water mist in the flames. The slashing blades, like rolling waves, slammed towards Lilith.
Boom!
The blades slashed down, but they couldn't touch Lilith. Instead, along with the raging flame, they slammed onto a buckler that suddenly rose.
Several silver thorns protruded from the ground, and Sakai jumped to the side abruptly, and barely dodged Lilith's counterattack.
"Do you only have this ability?"
The silver droplets condensed on Lilith's hand and were gradually elongated into silver needles.
Sakai's eyelids twitched wildly, and she crossed her blades in front of her while shouting to the side, "Andrew, what are you waiting for!"
On the chair beside the street, Andrew sat there blankly, as if he had been possessed. He stared at the expressionless Lilith in the rain.
Just now, he used his strongest trump card—Spiritual Piercing.
As one of the few attacks of a psychic, the lethality of Spiritual Piercing on the target was completely on a different level compared to Mental Shock. The latter could only make people faint at best, but the former, like the literal meaning, could directly pierce a person's soul!
If the target's willpower was weak, one blow could turn the target into an idiot.
However, what surprised Andrew was that he did not even sense the girl's spirit.
"... How is it possible, it's impossible!" As if he had just seen a ghost, his turbid pupils shrunk to a point in his eye sockets, "You are a psychic... NO! YOU ARE NOT A HUMAN!"
"Well, I really am not such a troublesome thing."
Just as Lilith finished her sentence, she moved.
The elongated silver needles bursted out like arrows.
The silver needles sealed all of Sakai's retreats and were about to turn her into a sieve, but all of a sudden, a black figure slammed into the wall and blocked in front of her while screaming.
There, the sound of clanging metal lasted for a while.
A huge figure, fully black, with arms as thick as a normal person's thigh, stood in front of her. The silver needles were all deflected as if they hit a wall.
Transformation.
It was not just changing one's height and face. Hurst, who could control every bone and every cell, could turn himself into an old man without harm, and of course, could also transform himself into a powerful giant.
Incorporating metal into the skin to strengthen his defense was an ability he only recently gained, but even he himself did not expect to put it into use so quickly.
"A mutated human with metalized skin?" On the downpouring street, Lilith looked expressionless at the panting Hurst, her digitalized eyes constricted slightly, "Or the downgraded version... transformation? I see, I probably know your plan."
"Then take it into the grave!" Hurst, who had become a black giant, roared. He picked up the shelf lying on the ground, and slammed it at Lilith, while he shouted to the companion behind him."She can't break my defense, strike!"
Sakai, who was behind him, responded to his call with action. The double blades were once again covered by crimson particles as they swung in Lilith's direction again.
Lilith sighed softly as she watched the shelf smash into her.
"When did you have the illusion that I can't break your defense."
For an instant, the heavy rain was gilded with silver.
Under the action of the electromagnetic force field, the viscous metal droplets flowed upstream and condensed around Lilith into a shield with no weakness, like an eggshell that formed from ground up.
Hurst's veins bulged. The shelf that swung in his hands flew to Lilith like an out of control windmill. On the other hand, two blades engulfed in flame slashed toward Lilith's side.
The two attacks both slammed onto the silver eggshell at the same time, and with a muffled bang, there were layers of ripples on the silver metal surface.
Hurst and Sakai's hearts sank at the same time.
Just now, they had used 120% of their strength, but they still couldn't break through the defense of the girl in front of them.
Sakai gritted her teeth and jumped back immediately.
"Retreat—"
She was only halfway before there was a spark, and the silver eggshell suddenly burst.
The fragments of the explosion raged on the deserted street, engulfing the three people surrounding Lilith without any warning.
Before he could even raise his arms to defend, he was hit by hundreds of fragments on his chest. Blood slowly oozed out of his mouth. He only felt that every inch of bone and every internal organ in his body was torn into pieces by this huge kinetic energy.
Before his vision turned into darkness, he saw it with his last remaining consciousness.
Sakai, who stood on the other side of him, had been blown up to the side of the road, with fist-sized blood holes all over her body. She couldn't be more dead.
In the center of the explosion, Lilith glanced at the three people lying in a pool of blood like rags, and then glanced at the cobweb on the glass window of the extended limo in the supermarket. Although the power of that blow was immense, she carefully controlled the direction of the blast and did not injure the protected target.
Lilith was about to leave.
But at this moment, the roar of a helicopter came from afar, and a Blackhawk gradually emerged from the rain.
A team of heavily armed SEALs in jet black special combat uniforms descended by rope. They surrounded Lilith with their rifles and locked on the expressionless girl.
"Put down your weapon and put your hands on your head. Squat down immediately!"
"This is the SEAL Team 5, we have arrived at the scene. The target has been successfully suppressed. Requesting next steps."
While they communicated in the channel, two SEALs, with raised rifles, quickly approached Lilith with cautious steps.
Lilith just wanted to say something, but then she noticed the Colombian President who was covered in blood under the shelf in the supermarket across the road.
She turned on the life detection device and did not detect his life signals.
She was slightly taken back when she saw the countless nervous and cautious sights behind the tactical eyepieces.
The President of Xin was saved, but another president suffered an unfortunate fate.
She suddenly realized that things seemed to be slowly getting out of her control.
