Chapter-2: The Hired Magician pt-2
Drip!
Drip!
The world seemed to have slowed down as the skull-masked figure continued forward inside the 'warehouse'.
A black cloak surrounded his body and armor, leaving only his mask visible.
The figure held a [Dlq-sniper] (Hollow's touch) in his right hand as he moved forward without any problem. Mysteriously his steps and presence were both ignored by the various people inside the warehouse.
Now many may ask; why wouldn't the figure directly enter the building right away if his concealment abilities were so good?
Unfortunately, to enter the building you need a key, without the key on your person, the alarm within the warehouse would blow up which was something any infiltrator would want to avoid.
Fortunately for him, the two soldiers also had a key on them, making them easy targets.
The figure first entered the [Generator-Room] and planted multiple trigger-bombs all over the room.
Just a distraction in case he needed to escape.
After carefully activating and hiding the bombs behind the multiple Generators, the figure made his way to the top of the warehouse, inside uniform storage, and opened the window that was inside the room.
He took out a box, placing it near the window, he pressed the red button on the top of the box as it started to unravel itself and form a sniper stand.
The figure placed his [Dlq-Sniper] over the stand and laid down. The glasses covering his eyes through the skull mask started to glow a bit before multiple symbols appeared all over it.
Screech!
The sound of a car stopping, was extremely audible and easy to find, so much so that it was too obvious.
Through the scope of the gun, the figure checked out the reinforced car that had just stopped, he saw the door opening!
Click!
The figure loaded his gun with a single backward slide of his left wrist as he zoomed the scope onto the person stepping out of the car.
A middle-aged man, wearing a yellow suit and white tie could seem to step out of the car. Around him were some highly trained soldiers, eying the surrounding carefully, to make sure nothing harms the person standing behind them.
Professor Enzo was one of the top researchers within [No head dragon], he was in charge of creating [Chargers] which would then be installed within personnel to boost their power at the expense of their emotions.
The figure had only one thing in his mind.
He must kill Enzo as stated in the contract he accepted from his employer.
Unfortunately, doing so was no easy feat! Professor Enzo was very important to the organization, multiple magicians and highly skilled personnel guarded him wherever he went.
To effectively dispatch someone of Enzo's status, one had to be decisive and cunning. The figure naturally knew that within the parameters of the warehouse, Enzo's security would be at its weakest!
This was one of the bases of [No head dragon], multiple soldiers equipped with high-tier weapons and equipment continuously guarded the warehouse, 24/7.
There was an invisible barrier placed around the warehouse to protect it from external attacks. As long as Enzo was within the barrier, he had enough confidence to casually walk inside the warehouse.
After all! Who would have thought that someone would camp inside their headquarters just to sniper one of their most precious assets!? Wasn't that pure suicide!
Unfortunately for them, this figure was anything but normal.
The figure took in a deep breath which sounded kinda like 'Darth Vader' in his suit. He leaned his head towards the scope and focused on assassinating his target.
The same conversation as always played within his mind as he decided to end another life, the life of the middle-aged man who had destroyed countless lives and was still going strong!
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Can a magician kill a man by magic?"
Lord Wellington asked Strange.
Strange frowned.
He seemed to dislike the question.
"I suppose a magician might," he admitted, "but a gentleman never could.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Unfortunately a magician can't be a gentleman....." The figure mumbled to himself before pulling the trigger of his [Dlq-Sniper].
"[Data-fortification]...." He mumbled softly as a small magic sequence appeared beneath his body.
[Data fortification] was basic strengthening magic which was extremely effective when fighting against magicians. It made it harder to interfere within the structure of the object, directly making it harder for a magician to influence the object anyhow.
The technique was extremely basic but had a lot of untouched potentials which others didn't consider useful.
The figure was sure that Enzo wouldn't be without some kind of device protecting him from sneak attacks thus he used [Data Fortification] on the bullet to a high degree.
He had to kill the target in one-shot and then escape using [Presence-concealment], even detonates the bombs if required!
Bang!
The muffled sound of a bullet leaving the muzzle resounded throughout the empty room, the suppressor over the muzzle did nullify most of the sound.
Instantly, the small yet dangerously lethal bullet traveled a great distance and arrived before Enzo.
The middle-aged man couldn't even react whereas the pre-loaded defensive armor wasn't able to stop the fortified bullet.
The bullet pierced the vile man's heart, the sudden gain of force jerked his body backward as he felt his consciousness slipping away.
The bullet had torn through his heart, effectively destroying his blood vessels but what was truly devasting was the fact that the bullet wasn't only reinforced using [Data-fortification] but also had [Hollow's touch effect].
Gruh!
A pained cry left the middle-aged man's mouth as green colored veins started to surface all over his chest and neck. The [Hollow's Touch ability] not only stole vitality but could directly damage the soul.
The Heart and brain of a person were the only two organs closely related to the soul of a person. Being damaged by an [Soul-attack] in any of these two places spelled instant death.
The highly trained soldiers immediately calculated the figure's position who had just assassinated their Professor, using high experience level while the magicians quickly used multiple search spells.
Unfortunately by the time, Enzo's body had hit the ground, the figure who had assassinated Enzo was already gone.
