Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?-Chapter 301 - 99: When the Map Ends, the Dagger Appears

"That’s an Adaptive Force Field Shield!" Aske commanded, "Avoid shooting her, entrap the Thunder! Continue with mind control, Mia on standby. Sigrdrifa, charge forward with Frost suppression, Thira provide full support, Peggy, hurry up!"

Miel’s rifle immediately switched targets, firing a series of bullets towards the bald male mage — the very one who had launched the Thunder assault earlier.

Sigrdrifa charged forward at full speed; her Power Armor ran so fast that even the ground seemed to tremble.

Nora and Medea steadied themselves and reinitiated mind control.

"There are two Heart-stealing Witches on the other side!" the man with sunglasses quickly ordered, "Gunners, suppress the witches and don’t let them cast spells! Baldy, you fall back first; Muscle, entangle her! Twins assist Muscle, Sniper get ready!"

The bald mage hastily retreated while another burly, muscular Great Sword Warrior emerged behind him, swinging his great sword diagonally downwards in a clean slash — blocked by Sigrdrifa’s North Wind Axe.

"Good grief!" the strong Great Sword Warrior stared, his expression incredulous.

He was nicknamed "Muscle," a Level 5 Physical Transcendent with Strong X+Blunt Weapon I+Giant I+Tenacity II; all his Magic Potion abilities were crazily enhancing his physical strength. Even against a Power Armor Knight, he was confident he could injure the opponent severely through the armor with a single hit.

However, this Power Armor Knight in front of him easily blocked his full-powered slash just with an axe.

Coldness and electric currents surged instantaneously along the point of contact of the weapons. Muscle endured the discomfort in his arms, gritted his teeth, and swung his sword with all his might — Mountain Crashing Triple Strike!

A mocking, cold laughter came from the opponent’s Power Armor Helmet; the North Wind Axe swiftly rose, catching each slash of the great sword. With every Attack Block, the chill and electricity in the weapon intensified, making it nearly impossible for the muscle man to hold onto his weapon, his hands freezing blue-purple with electric arcs jumping.

Thira used high air pressure bombs to continuously attack the female gunman, preventing her from firing continuously at Medea and Nora. Compared to bullets, air pressure bombs did more damage to the Adaptive Force Field Shield, forcing the female gunman to move frequently and evade to avoid her shield being torn by air pressure.

Miel’s long-range shooting forced the bald mage to flee in a ragged state, blood spurting from his body.

Yet this guy didn’t seem to be purely a Spiritual Ability user; even though he was shot like a honeycomb with blood flowing ceaselessly, there was no sign of serious or near-death injuries, and he still dodged bullets agilely, avoiding vital spots.

Two twin brother swordsmen with similar looks rushed forward, quickly blocking Sigrdrifa’s attacks. The Great Sword Warrior hastily retreated as his weapon was almost slipping from his battered hands.

Sigrdrifa wielded her North Wind Axe swiftly, while the two swordsmen coordinated seamlessly. One grimaced and slashed his longsword with all his might, barely deflecting her battle axe slashes, the palm of his sword-holding hand numbing from the impact.

The other swiftly moved behind her, his left hand producing a sharp radiance on the longsword, likely some unknown Extraordinary Ability, then he thrust heavily towards the nuclear battery compartment on the back of her armor.

Before the longsword could strike, his body involuntarily flew backwards — Thira had already noticed his strange manipulation of the weapon, a pull with her right hand using Gravity Manipulation, forcibly pulling him away from Sigrdrifa.

The Great Sword Warrior had meanwhile recovered and once again came at her fiercely with the great sword, in unison with the other swordsman trying to suppress Sigrdrifa.

The man with sunglasses pulled out flames in both hands, repeatedly hurling fiery arcs through the air.

Thira had no choice but to interrupt her Gravity Control, maintaining air pressure bomb suppression with her right hand on the female gunman, while her left hand swiftly cast a spell, pulling the fiery techniques with a Storm into the grass beside her, turning into burning wildfires.

An air pressure bomb struck a burning large tree in front, smashing the stout trunk, the still-blazing treetop rolling down the slope, leaving behind just a bare stump.

The twin swordsman, pulled away by Thira’s Gravity, reassured his stance and decisively circumvented Aske who stood originally pressing down the sword, rushing towards Medea and Nora oppressed by the female gunman, apparently trying to coordinate a quick kill with the female gunman.

The man with sunglasses kept casting flames to maintain attack suppression while his expression intensified as he watched the front. He had already anticipated the opponent’s next command:

Certainly, they wouldn’t watch the two Mind Mages be killed, otherwise, their own female gunman would break free, using firearms’ long-range advantage to support the entire field.

To rescue those two Mind Mages, the opponent would surely command the young female gunman to shift her fire to support, allowing her originally pursued bald Thunder Mage a chance to catch his breath and survive.

Then, by combining his Thunder and her own Flames, they could kill the Masked Mage who manipulates Gravity and Air Pressure ahead of time. freёnovelkiss.com

Meanwhile, the Power Armor Knight who used Frost and Thunder was currently entangled by the Great Sword Warrior and one of the twin swordsmen, unable to free himself to come to the rescue.

Following this development, the balance of the war was sure to gradually tip in their favor, and the man in sunglasses couldn’t think of any possibility of defeat.

The only thing to be wary of was that man who stood still without moving. Even though all his team members were engaged, he just calmly stood there, his hand on his sword.

It seemed he was ready to intervene at any moment, yet he hadn’t initiated any attack from the beginning until now.

Was he confident, holding all the cards? Or was it just a bluff?

The man in sunglasses also had his ace in the hole. The Sniper in his squad had already set up his gun 600 meters away, ready to carry out a lethal shooting at any moment.

He was waiting for his command.

Of course, the man in sunglasses didn’t want to play his ace too early.

Unless any member of the opposing team exhibited extraordinary abilities that his side couldn’t counter, a single radio command would make the hidden Sniper prioritize killing that person.

Now, it seemed like the enemy had run out of tricks. Everyone’s abilities had been almost fully utilized and they were all entangled by his team members, so there seemed no need to use the Sniper card yet.

Unless they, like his own side, also had hidden forces outside.

Wait? The man in sunglasses suddenly had a bad premonition. If the opponents also had hidden forces...

"He’s getting suspicious!" Medea, who was monitoring his thoughts, immediately alerted.

"Peggy?" Aske urged.

"It’s time!" Peggy shouted through the channel, "I’ve found the Sniper! On top of the hill!"

"Contain him!" Aske commanded, "Force him to fire!"

Peggy swiftly swung her Longsword.

Undead Illusion Sword.

In an instant, she split into five illusions that sprang from behind the secluded trees, all charging towards the Sniper on the hilltop.

The Sniper on the hill immediately panicked. So many enemies... when had they approached?!

He hastily pulled out his handgun and fired multiple shots, causing several illusions to burst and dissolve.

"Miel!" Aske called out.

"Got it!" Miel swiftly turned the gun barrel. With her visual ability activated, she had already locked onto the gunfire 600 meters away.

"Not good, their real target is the Sniper!" The man in sunglasses, receiving the Sniper’s alert, suddenly looked distressed.

He had been deceived.
