Book 5: Chapter 228: Rain
“GWAAAAAH!”
Goshawk screamed in agony as an indescribable force twisted his arm. He could only turn his body slowly, trying to follow the direction of the twist in a desperate attempt to alleviate some of the damage and pain.
However, it was futile; it did nothing to stop Luna from twisting his arm into a grotesque shape like she was wringing a rag dry.
Blood spurted from the broken skin of his arm, splattering across Goshawk’s pained face. Like a stray dog cornered in a desperate situation, he shouted desperately, “Jellyfish! Jellyfish! Fire! Fire!”
Since his headset had been crushed by Luna, the woman known as Jellyfish naturally couldn’t hear his frantic cries.
Nevertheless, she witnessed the entire scene unfold through the scope of her sniper rifle. From the moment Luna had suddenly vanished and then reappeared in front of Goshawk, Jellyfish sensed something was off.
She kept her finger on the trigger all this while, silently awaiting the order to fire. Yet, she couldn’t understand why Goshawk hadn’t retreated in such a dire situation. If the target had unleashed unexpected abilities, he should have retreated immediately or sought cover from his companions.
This was clearly outlined in the “Emergency Countermeasures Against Strange Ability User Manual” issued by the organization and had always been a mandatory question in their annual assessments.
Regardless, it was too late to ponder that; the unforeseen circumstances had already occurred. What needed to be done was to salvage the situation and prevent the chaos from escalating to a full-blown incident.
