The man spoke as he fired forward.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…
Bullets poured out, sweeping across the desk in front of Bai Ye, sending countless splinters of wood and scraps of paper flying.
"Damn it, it's a two-way mission!"
A two-way mission refers to a situation where opposing tasks arise simultaneously for both the sinful and order factions. Bai Ye's mission was to steal, while the opponent's was to protect!
In such a scenario, there was no room for discussion; one had to either abandon the mission or inevitably face death.
Bai Ye ducked his head. When the opponent's bullets ran out, he quickly took out a model 82-2 all-plastic handless grenade, pulled the pin, and threw it with force, saying, "You think I don't have grenades!"
Seeing the grenade fly out from behind the desk, the man scrambled to flee.
Boom!
The explosion resounded, the blast wave tossing the man aside, sending him crashing heavily to the ground.
Bai Ye seized the opportunity to emerge from behind the desk, firing his pulse dual pistols while simultaneously scanning.
Bio-scan initiated…
Bio-scan concluded…
Adam MacGraw (Chosen) (Health Status): Chosen from the world of biotechnology.
Strength: 91
Speed: 88
Stamina: 119
Spirit: 89
Intelligence: 16
Weakness Search: As a Chosen from the world of biotechnology, he possesses a naturally formidable physique. However, his body is unstable; excessive physical exertion will incur side effects from genetic mutation.
Inventory (Incomplete): Sword of Stars (Weapon), Creamy Nougat (Item) /
Abilities (Incomplete): Gene Gate Liberation (Exotic Ability)
A thought flashed through Bai Ye's mind: Damn, I've encountered a master!
Adam's physical attribute values were high. His strength, speed, and spirit were slightly weaker than Bai Ye's, but the difference of ten to twenty points was negligible. His stamina attribute was even higher than Bai Ye's.
However, the Weakness Search was no longer a question mark; he had managed to scan out a weakness.
But Bai Ye felt this weakness would be difficult to exploit.
Adam's physical attributes were not strongly related to his enhancements after entering the World Battlefield. The so-called biotechnology world referred to a future technological world where technological development leaned towards biological gene research and development.
Chosen from this world typically underwent genetic modifications, possessing inherent advantages in physical attributes. When entering the World Battlefield, their physical attributes were usually four to five times that of other Chosen, making it a relatively advantageous world to enter.
Genetic modifications often came with sequelae. Based on the Weakness Search description, Bai Ye believed Adam might not be good at prolonged combat, or more directly, Adam's body might experience problems during sustained battles.
Therefore, to exploit this weakness, he would have to drag out the fight with Adam.
But…
Bai Ye couldn't help but retort, "His stamina is 119, higher than mine. Dragging him down means I'll be dog-tired too!"
Since a protracted battle wasn't feasible, he had no choice but to fight him head-on!
On the other side, Adam was also cursing.
He hid behind a pillar, waiting for Bai Ye to run out of bullets. However, the pulse dual pistols didn't require magazine changes; as long as the energy pack had energy, they would auto-reload, and each reload only took 0.5 seconds. Adam could never wait for a vacuum period during Bai Ye's magazine change.
Gritting his teeth, Adam decided not to wait passively any longer. He pulled out a prismatic metal shield and charged out from behind the pillar!
"Ah!"
Adam roared as he dashed out, shield raised, blocking the beams and quickly charging forward to confront Bai Ye.
Shield Bash!
Upon reaching Bai Ye, Adam thrust his shield forward, intending to knock Bai Ye flying.
But…
With a clang, Adam's face registered shock.
His most prideful strength…
He hadn't been able to budge the opponent!
Bai Ye took half a step back and leaned his shoulder against the shield, effectively stopping Adam's charge.
However, although Adam's strength was inferior to Bai Ye's, the difference was not significant. Bai Ye could only hold his ground; he couldn't overpower him.
As they both exerted force, after a stalemate of half a minute, Bai Ye's gaze fell upon Adam's feet. He suddenly hooked his leg!
With a bang, Adam fell to the ground.
Bai Ye drew his famed sword, Bloodthirst, and plunged it down forcefully, saying, "Fighting requires brains, too."
But at that moment, Adam suddenly shouted, "Garurumon!"
As Adam's voice fell, Bai Ye suddenly felt a pain in his back, followed by being sent flying. He then braced himself with one hand on the ground, quickly stabilizing his posture.
Turning back, he saw a blue and white wolf-like beast standing beside Adam.
"Do you think I don't have a beast?" Bai Ye took out his beast sphere and threw it forward, saying, "Goodra, Dragon Pulse!"
The beast sphere landed, emitting a white light. Immediately, Goodra emerged from the light, opening its mouth. White radiance condensed within its mouth, and then…
Boom!
A white beam of light erupted from Goodra's mouth.
Garurumon immediately lowered its head, grabbed Adam, and leaped to the side.
The next instant, the beam of light grazed the ground, instantly shattering it, leaving a two-meter-wide indentation. Then…
Boom!
The Dragon Pulse struck the wall at the end, the immense roar echoing again. The wall then collapsed, completely pulverized.
On the other side, after evading the attack, Garurumon placed Adam back on the ground. It then opened its cavernous mouth and spat out a large wave of blue flames, engulfing Goodra.
Goodra, without Bai Ye's command, did not attack rashly. Instead, it crossed its arms, blocking the flames, and then looked at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye said, "Take it down!"
"Yaa~"
Receiving the order, Goodra let out a cry and immediately charged towards Garurumon. Bai Ye also moved at the same time, sprinting towards Adam, then leaping up and delivering a mid-air kick.
Beast against beast, master against master!
Seeing Bai Ye rush towards him, Adam quickly raised his shield again.
Clang!
Bai Ye's kick struck the shield, the immense force causing Adam to retreat several steps. After barely stabilizing himself, Adam quickly tapped the surface of his shield.
"Prism Blade!"
The prismatic shield emitted a mechanical whirring sound. Immediately, cracks appeared around the shield's surface, and four palm-sized prismatic blades were ejected.
These four prismatic blades, as if remotely controlled, hovered in the air for a moment. A red light suddenly lit up in the center, and they shot towards Bai Ye.
