Chapter 177: A Fatal Blow
Bullet was submerged in the sea, swimming forward with all his might. But the resistance of the water slowed him down—he could only manage half of his usual speed.
As he pushed forward, a sudden wave of terrifying pressure approached from behind.
Turning his head, Bullet's eyes widened in shock. A massive axe was slicing through the water at a terrifying speed, heading straight for him.
Panic surged through him.
He was already barely holding on. His protective energy shield was down to just 30%, and maintaining it while moving through the ocean was draining his remaining power fast. He estimated that his reserves from Wanokuni were nearly depleted.
If he took another hit like that, he'd never make it back alive.
Damn it, damn it! he cursed internally.
Bullet roared silently in the depths, but no sound could escape underwater. All he could do now was try to dodge the incoming strike.
The moment the axe passed near him, he twisted sharply to the left. It was as if the weapon had eyes—it corrected course mid-swing and pursued him, landing a heavy blow on his energy shield.
The impact left a deep dent.
Bullet was stunned. He could feel it—without reinforcing the shield, it would've shattered then and there. In desperation, he forced more energy from his core unit into the shield.
