Chapter 746: Firearm malfunction

"Tsk, what a great application of power," Lin Wuming couldn't help but exclaim, watching the enemy's moves. If it were a Superpower that controlled mud, it would probably be difficult to achieve such flexibility and versatility.

However, Lin Wuming was confident that his Nen Ability would not be inferior to the opponent's Magic in terms of efficiency and flexibility.

While dodging, Lin Wuming continuously shot out small steel balls, blasting apart the huge hands and feet behind him.

Lin Wuming patiently circled, trying to find the Magician Sherry Cromwell hiding in the dark.

That's right, the full-power Mind Power Acceleration Cannon just now did not hurt Sherry Cromwell. The latter used her old trick, still using a mud substitute to deceive Lin Wuming's attack.

However, after witnessing the true power of the "Mind Power Acceleration Cannon," she didn't dare to be careless anymore and expose herself within Lin Wuming's line of sight.

"The rumors are really true, Lin Wuming and Hu Feng Toumi are indeed a couple—their attacks are so sharp, it's terrifying." Sherry Cromwell hid behind mud bricks and stones, cautiously observing the battle.

She was an expert in controlling mud and stones. Although she couldn't use skills like "Earth Style" yet, she could use the environment to hide herself, and it was difficult for the enemy to detect her.

While secretly following Lin Wuming's movement, Sherry Cromwell quietly left white scratches with a wax crayon wherever she went.

Her Magic belonged to the pre-set type. Except for the stone giant "Ellis" which was her trump card, almost all other Magic required drawing Magic circles or writing runes in advance.

In fact, the giant hands and feet that were currently attacking Lin Wuming were the Magic effects she had set up in advance.

—This passage was originally a battlefield specifically prepared by Sherry Cromwell.

As the Magic was activated and consumed one after another, Sherry Cromwell also had to continuously replenish new Magic circles to maintain the rhythm of the battle and exert continuous pressure on Lin Wuming.

This was necessary for her, because she couldn't let Lin Wuming use an attack of that magnitude again!

—Full-power Mind Power Acceleration Cannon.

Even in the eyes of practical Magicians, a terrifying attack that could destroy the body of "Ellis" in one hit had already exceeded the scope of "normal."

Sherry Cromwell was very wary of that move, which was why she was hiding in the dark and was hesitant to show herself.

After testing, she also noticed that Lin Wuming's powerful attack was not easy to unleash—it required at least a certain amount of charging time.

Because after that move, the frequency of Lin Wuming's attacks was higher, but the power was significantly reduced.

In fact, what Lin Wuming needed was not charging time, but acceleration space.

However, in terms of results, Sherry Cromwell's judgment and actions were a lucky hit.

—Control the rhythm of the battle and don't give Lin Wuming a chance to use the full-power Mind Power Acceleration Cannon.

Thanks to this, she was able to hold out until now.

Lin Wuming had actually already discovered the enemy's whereabouts.

After all, Sherry Cromwell didn't hide in the wall or underground using Earth Style; she just used the mud and stones readily available in the environment to cover herself.

Under Lin Wuming's Telekinesis scan, this level of hiding couldn't last long.

However, finding the enemy and defeating the enemy were two different things.

It had to be admitted that Lin Wuming was indeed in a predicament.

He was in the enemy's home ground, and his opponent was mud and stones with astonishing defense, not even afraid of being destroyed.

Under such circumstances, Lin Wuming was essentially using his weakness to attack the enemy's strength, and it was difficult to make progress in a short time.

Conversely, it was also difficult for Sherry Cromwell to pose an effective threat to Lin Wuming—since the start of the battle, Lin Wuming had not had a chance to enter "Bullet Time."

Moreover, Lin Wuming was actually a little interested in Sherry Cromwell's Magic and fighting style.

After all, he was currently learning Magic, and the other party was a character from the original story. As long as his own safety was not involved, Lin Wuming didn't mind taking this opportunity to gather more information.

As Lin Wuming continued to move forward, he finally ran out of the area where the Magic circles were set up.

The enemy's offensive suddenly slowed down.

—It's time to end this battle.

Lin Wuming immediately stopped, turned around, and raised his deeringer pistol.

In the "Bullet Time" state, acceleration distance doesn't matter; no matter how it's fired, it's a full-power or even super-power Mind Power Acceleration Cannon.

—I'll spare your life, as for the rest, just destroy them all.

Glancing at Sherry Cromwell's hiding place, Lin Wuming made up his mind.

Moreover, he had already run far enough along the way; he shouldn't accidentally injure innocent passersby or public facilities.

Lin Wuming pulled the trigger.

He only heard a crisp click, but there was no gunshot from the bullet being fired.

—Jammed? No, there's no such thing as a deeringer pistol jamming... A misfire? Or some other malfunction?

Lin Wuming pulled the trigger again, but the second bullet also failed to fire.

"..."

Lin Wuming turned his head, looking speechlessly at the dark muzzle—it actually broke down at this time?

While sighing in his heart, Lin Wuming didn't suspect that someone was plotting against him.

Thinking carefully, he had had this pistol for more than two years, but he had never maintained it.

Coupled with the fact that this pistol had accompanied him through various harsh combat environments along the way, honestly, it was already very lucky that it lasted until now before malfunctioning.

After all, the current battle situation didn't necessarily require the use of "Bullet Time."

While Lin Wuming was "zoning out," the stone giant "Ellis" reformed and swung its huge fist down.

Lin Wuming put away the pistol and raised his hand to block the enemy's attack—seeing its powerful blow, his weak Mind Power Barrier would definitely not be able to block it, so it was better to use Telekinesis to strengthen his body and block it directly.

Bang!

A dull collision sound echoed in the passage. The two figures, one large and one small, remained motionless, their fists, with a surprising difference in size, collided head-on.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the huge stone fist, but Lin Wuming's right hand was unharmed.

Three small steel balls circled around Lin Wuming, ready to be fired as cannonballs at any time.

But this time, Lin Wuming did not activate the Mind Power Acceleration Cannon—the distance to the enemy was too close. In this situation, the most efficient way to attack was with his fists.

So, he punched forward with his left fist, which was also strengthened by Telekinesis.

Radiating cracks also spread across the body of the stone giant "Ellis." It staggered backward, using this to dissipate the kinetic energy of Lin Wuming's attack and avoid further damage to its body.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Lin Wuming licked his lips and simply gave up the idea of firing the Mind Power Acceleration Cannon.

—It's rare not to be in a wheelchair; being a melee fighter for once seems pretty good.
