Chapter 618: Chapter 68: Feather of Miracle_4
“The distance has already exceeded the range of the damage synchronization effect! Budman Avis can’t support you in time, and after losing your subordinates, your flaws are completely exposed…”
Aorus roared in the fierce wind. The Array of the Supreme Crown returned behind him, and the light rain of destruction reappeared, swiftly heading towards that powerless mortal!
“You’ve always been an incompetent man, John Garcia! Without others, you’re nothing, you have no right to compare yourself to me!”
John Garcia simply ignored him.
John calmly issued his final instruction to his most original and loyal brother.
Budman slapped his own body.
His target was not the spatial manipulation Aorus had anticipated.
At that moment, the plunderer briefly received the power that belonged to the skull leader.
“I bestow good fortune upon you, my brother!”
Behind Budman emerged another set of Illusionary wings, with 30 feathers rising simultaneously and instantly embedding themselves into John’s body.
John Garcia began to run, charging towards the approaching Aorus with his mortal flesh. His left hand was empty, and his right hand grasped a short sword. The power of good fortune provided him with an apparent enhancement, as he dodged the light projectiles at tricky angles, miraculously closing the distance unscathed. John, wielding the short sword, leapt up and launched an unstoppable assault towards the Supreme Crown!
“I told you…” Aorus made another gesture, “For me, who has understood failure, a transient defeat is but a stepping stone to success! Even if you shatter the idol, the absolute truth won’t change!”
That gesture was the exchange he had developed over these three years. In an instant, John’s and Aorus’s bodies swapped places, with the Array formed by the Supreme Crown almost brushing against John’s back. That Array was the genesis of unlimited light projectiles, and with the creation of a new one, no amount of good fortune could save John now!
Then, a gunshot sounded.
The bullet came from behind Aorus. The bullet came from John’s mechanical arm. The bullet came from the barrel protruding behind the mechanical arm, glowing red from the high temperature.
Two large-caliber bullets pierced through the palm of Aorus, the powerful kinetic force completely shattered everything below the forearm.
Aorus fell from the sky, while John leapt from the ground.
After the exchange of coordinates, the direction they faced remained unchanged.
Aorus, who had shifted downwards, could only see a cloud of dust.
John, who was swapped upwards, stared into the gloomy sky.
The agony of a shattered palm traveled through his nerves, the most intense pain yet to come. However, the heartache was a hundred times more intense than the physical pain.
Unwilling to accept. Reluctant to admit. Absurdly irrational. It didn’t make sense. All was planned, prepared, and understood, and even when the opponent suddenly gained power, a counter was thought of, but in the end, the end…
It was all lost to two ordinary bullets in a duel between Superpower Users.
Vulnerabilities that didn’t need to be specifically considered. A backup so obvious it hardly qualified as a deception. The mechanical arm of the skull leader, the prosthetics most commonly used by gangsters…
But he never considered this.
Aorus Otimis fell into the dust. Without his hands, he had no means to activate his power.
Realizing this, Aorus bitterly, painfully, voiced the fact he could no longer escape.
John Garcia landed, turned around, and a gun barrel popped out from the side of his mechanical arm.
“You obsess over a future that hasn’t arrived, yet you never realized that you’re just a fool who can’t see what’s right in front of him.”
A gunshot rang out, and the duel came to an end.
