Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 410: More Assassins

Ning immediately stood up and looked at the two men towards the front of the cart that had stood up after hearing the sound of the gun shot.

They too brought out a gun and cocked it.

”Argh!” Lisa cried out. Ning turned around to see that she was bleeding from the gun shot to the leg she had suffered.

”Are you hurt bad?” he asked.

”I can manage,” she said and brought her hands towards her leg. Before Ning could even say something, he heard the bullet drop onto the floor and could see the blood stop flowing from her wound.

She had somehow managed to fix her wound by herself.

”You are an Enchanter?” he asked.

”Yes, same as you,” she said.

The door to that train cart opened and 3 more people entered. 2 of them were men and one of them was a woman that had features resembling that of the old lady that served them the juices.

All of them brought out their guns to target them.

”Shit!” Lisa said as she felt overwhelmed by the number of people in the cart. 5 people at once was not something she was proficient at handling.

Ning looked back and saw that Reever was still unconscious. The men were closing up on them and Ning got more alert.

His body wasnʼt strong enough to survive the bullets, so if he was hit at all, it would decommission him out of the fight for a second or two. That was long enough for the assassins to kill Lisa and Reever.

”I didnʼt expect you to last this long, little girl,” A man spoke from the front. He looked down on the floor at the blood puddle with the dead person next to it.

He then looked at Ning and said, ”I wasnʼt aware that you would have an expert protecting you. The price on your head should have been worth more.”

”If the price is not worth it, then leave. Go tell your client that you need more money,” Lisa said.

”Unfortunately, I canʼt do that, young miss. We already took the bounty, now all we can do is fulfill it. Our reputation is on the line,” the man said.

”Reputation? Who are you?” Lisa asked the man.

”You might have heard of us. We are the Shadow Pavillion.”

Lisaʼs eyes went wide in fear. ”No, not even he would be stupid enough to employ you guys,” she said.

”I donʼt know who you are talking about, but we were assigned with the task to kill you. Now itʼs time we finish it,” the man pointed his gun towards Lisa and pulled the trigger.

BANG

”AARGH!” Lisa cried out in shock as she brought her hands up in a futile attempt to protect herself.

However, the bullet never hit her or any other part of the train. It was like it had magically disappeared.

She slowly opened her eyes to see the look of shock and surprise on her attackerʼs face. She wondered what had happened when her eyes slowly focused onto what was in front of her.

The bullet was spinning in midair right in front of her without moving a single inch forward. The bullet then fell to the ground as a subtle yellow light shimmered in front of Lisa.

”What did you do?” the man asked in surprise.

”W-Whatʼs going on?” Lisa herself didnʼt know what was happening.

”You!…. Shoot them!” the man ordered.

All 5 of the assassins in the room cocked their gun and started shooting.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Multiple gunshots could be heard all around them as the shooting persisted for a few moments.

However, the assassins didnʼt see what they were hoping to see at all. Instead of blood pouring out of the bullet wounds, all they could see was a yellow shimmer in front of Lisa and Ning that had blocked every single bullet that was shot at them.

”What?” the man screamed out in shock. He couldnʼt believe what he was seeing. The spinning bullets fell to the ground, clanking on the metal floor.

While Lisa was stunned, Ning got to work. He put his hands forward and a bunch of rocks formed in mid-air. Ning put in Aether onto it and soon the rocks started burning.

With a simple push, the rocks flew through the air at a very fast speed and went towards the two men at the front.

The first man put his hands up front and used his enchanting powers to push the rocks a little to the side so that they missed him.

The other man however didnʼt seem to be an Enchanter, and instead an Invoker. He tried to create a layer of water to drown out the rockʼs flames, but he couldnʼt finish creating the water fast enough.

The rock hit in right in the chest and very quickly his shirt caught on fire. The man immediately dropped on the ground and started patting on his chest to put out the fire.

The other man walked up to him and tried to put out the fire using his enchanting skills.

During that time, Ning put forth his hands and the gun by his side flew up to him. He opened the chamber and saw that there were still 3 bullets left in it.

He immediately turned around and looked at the 3 assassins behind him who were trying to reload their gun.

”Stay in the barrier,” Ning ordered Lisa and walked out. He wasnʼt confident on his aim at all, so he decided to get closer.

Once he was close enough, he pointed at the man in the middle. The 3 of them had just finished filling their chamber with new bullets and pointed at Ning.

However, slowly, their aim started to change.

The men and woman grunted, but they couldnʼt stop their hands from changing. They were now pointing directly at the two men that were trying to put out the fire.

Ning calmly aimed at the man in the center and pulled the trigger.

BANG
