DESTINY GAMES

Chapter 54 One Way Glass.

She thought she could take him on with the level of preparation she had made.

The sight made him think to himself, "What commendable confidence."

He knew to expect something like this because that is what she usually does, but he was still surprised that she decided to go through with it after what happened to their armored truck.

Her actions made him suspicious about what she was really up to. It is because can't believe that she intends to take him on with what she currently has.

He let that distract him while he waited for her to move far away from the bus before making his move. Then he shot her legs out from underneath her.

His bullet struck her thigh and crippled her immediately. An armor piercing round shot from a sniper can do that to someone even if they have steel skin.

If not for the fact that he didn't want to kill her, he would have blown her brains out. Her little arms wouldn't have saved her. It was a result he expected but was still surprised to see.

Unfortunately, the fight wasn't over yet. Their leader and two other strong people were coming for him too.

Wrath said, "Looks like things are about to get serious."

He nodded solemnly and put away the sniper rifle. Then he picked up the grenade launcher and aimed at the trio coming for him.

The leader has an ability that creates a large rectangular shield in front of him. The shield is purple and opaque. But that's only for those viewing from the front.

The shield acts as a one-way glass for both light and other objects. He can't see them from his position, but they can see him through the shield. Not only that, the shield will stop any projectile from the front but will allow projectiles to fly freely through it as long as they come from behind.

The shield is light and mobile cover for them. It is so powerful that the round he shot from the sniper rifle is stuck in it. It caused the shield to crack, but it is far from being able to break.

This protected the three of them while the leader and the two with him could shoot at their enemies. This is how they fight. The metal-skinned enforcer jumps into a crowd, guns ablazing and wreaking havoc. This preoccupies the enemy and allows the leader to shoot them down from behind cover.

The leader rains down a hail of metal on the enemy without care. The woman with the metallic skin will be able to handle it, but their enemies won't. Together they give their enemies hell.

But not today. Today they have met someone prepared for them. Kelvin brought one of the few things that their shield is weak to. He shot the grenades at them just like the enemies that had gotten one over them had done in the past.

A grenade doesn't produce point blank damage like a bullet. It produces a large area of attack that puts pressure on a larger surface area of the shield. The shield didn't break, but it began to crack very quickly.

After just three explosions, the purple shield began falling apart like broken glass. This made their leader call for retreat. If he had used a flame thrower, their shield would have been useless entirely, and he would have cooked them directly. That way they wouldn't be able to retreat without taking serious damage.

But a flamethrower needed close distance to use. This made him rule it out to use in the mission. Besides, there was no sale on flamethrowers. He might have considered it had there been a tempting sale.

For now, he had to be content with scaring off the leader and his gang. It wasn't without its own type of fun because their retreat was a comical one.

The leader had to walk backwards away from him. He couldn't turn, or he would expose his back to him. This is another one of the many weaknesses of his ability. The shield could only be placed in one position, and it would only block protectiles from one direction.

It also couldn't block attacks that were mainly made of energy. It could only block physical attacks and projectiles.

It was a funny sight to see them go. It made Wrath laugh, but Kelvin didn't ease the pressure on them just because they put on a good show. He continued to harass them as they retreated. It was not to kill them. He did so to make sure that they wouldn't try to help his true target.

He didn't come for them, so he didn't bother to kill them. Their lives have not been paid for, so they get to live another day.

When he had chased off the others, he crawled over to his true target, and sedated her with enough tranquilizer to knock out an elephant.

Even an F rank super will be knocked out by the amount of tranquilizer he used as long as they don't have any resistance to it.

She tried to resist him but he already knew her weakness. Bent her arm and broke it. Even though she had a skin of steel, she didn't have steel bones.

The lack of arms reduced her resistance, but she still maintained the steel skin to protect herself. He wouldn't be able to knock her out by force with such protection. But he still overcame it easily by plunging the syringe into her eye.

Steel skin didn't grant all around protection like the man that almost killed him in his last game. He was able to handle that man with little preparation, so she wasn't worth much.

With her sedated, he was able to bound her and carry her away. His mission was a success, which meant the next thing to do was enjoy the fruits of his labor. He had to find a secluded place to harvest the destiny of the woman. Then he would send the picture of her corpse to the person who hired him.
