Chapter 196: Critical Sniping and the Untouchable

In Mock Town, 【Critical Point】, wearing a silver windbreaker, stood in a blood-drenched tavern, his brows tightly furrowed.

He had lost contact with his 【Tishin】; no, to be precise, it was just that his 【Untouchable】 seemed to have been enveloped by some special environment.

As a long-range operation type Tishin, it could be released by Critical Point to a distance of nearly 20 kilometers, and after Critical Point obtained the Rare and Peerless advanced Tese 【Momo Multiplication】, this distance reached a terrifying 200 kilometers.

The Tishin 【Untouchable】 was obtained by Critical Point in the initial Trial World, Jojo Yansheng Shijie, after being struck by an 【Arrow】 by accident; one could say that for him, there was a sense of Shuming to it.

This was a special Tishin that was very difficult to master; for a long time, Critical Point remained obscure because he could not well control his greatest fortuitous encounter, his Tishin.

But once he gradually mastered this Tishin, Critical Point rose rapidly, becoming a renowned long-range hunter in the space.

【Untouchable】

Panel: Destructive Power E, Speed C, Range A, Persistence D, Precision E, Growth Potential E

It possessed almost no direct attack capability, leading Critical Point to once think his Tishin was unsuitable for combat, until in one incident, he accidentally discovered that his Tishin would deflect bullets unintentionally fired at it by enemies.

Not just bullets, but sword light, flames, and rays—this Tishin possessed a certain ability to deflect, with the strength linked to his Spirit.

From then on, he began to gradually understand and master his Tishin; initially, it was used for defense, but soon, he found a better way to use it...

He would actively attack his own Tishin, find the appropriate angle, and utilize the refraction ability of 【Untouchable】 to kill with a single blow when caught off guard; at the same time, this special ability of the Tishin also allowed him to basically avoid the possibility of the main body suffering damage because the Tishin suffered damage.

Furthermore, because his attack target was always his own Tishin, many Reincarnators' crisis premonitions, Killing Intent Perception, and similar abilities could not well prevent it.

In a sense, this was the perfect Tishin most suitable for him.

The reason Critical Point became a shooting-type Reincarnator was not because this type was the most convenient for harming others or the most convenient for killing other Reincarnators, but because he... was afraid of getting hurt.

Critical Point thus found his own direction for growth; he concentrated his abilities on sniping power and his own Spirit intensity, becoming a Rare shooting-specialized Reincarnator with Extreme Value in Spirit.

Unlike those Reincarnators who relied on reaction, dynamic vision, and prediction to shoot, Critical Point only needed to pull away a sufficient distance and utilize the Tese that non-Tishinshizhe could not see the Tishin to complete bizarre snipes.

He gradually grew into the renowned hunter in the space today; although a few people knew the basis of his abilities, very few could counter them.

Because of the ultra-long range attribute of 【Untouchable】, this Tishin could operate at a distance extremely far from Critical Point himself, making it almost impossible to judge where the Tishin was based on Critical Point's own position.

Only when a Reincarnator who was also a Tishinshizhe appeared could some countermeasures be taken.

"Team Leader Lin, the Golden Emperor has really appeared, and it is said that Garp is also approaching; that sea area must have evolved into a special large-scale event. Are we not going to participate?"

"Yeah, Team Leader Lin, you didn't succeed in sniping that Tao Baibai before, did you? Our current points are still 0, this is very insecure. I heard that Moon Demon and Flame Demon are both there; if one of us is hunted, the end will deduct Singularity!"

The three Reincarnators beside Critical Point were a bit impatient at this moment; one of the two women had red wavy hair, wore pitch-black gloves on both hands, and her pupils were a brilliant rainbow color.

The other one wore a high ponytail and had a Tachi with a red-bottomed black-patterned scabbard hanging at her waist; her right hand's knuckles were very long, far longer than an ordinary person's palm, and the overly long hand did not look slender and beautiful, but rather as weird as a withered branch.

The woman with wavy hair had recently joined the team and was clearly very concerned about the Singularity; she was not weak as a lone wolf who could survive until now, and the reason she joined this team was entirely because of the name 【Critical Point】.

Following such a great killer in a team, whether it was killing opportunities or safety, was much higher.

However, at this moment, after noticing the abnormality of this world, she began to want to participate further in such an abnormal mission; at least, she had to go to the periphery, and by relying on her and Team Leader Lin's long-range lethality, it would be easy to have gains.

Before Critical Point could speak, the last cornerstone of the team, the silent big guy, nearly 2.5 meters tall, still broad enough to look like a wall while sitting on the ground, codenamed 【Obsidian】, who was Critical Point's initial teammate and one who had survived until now, the team's Defense Specialization Reincarnator, spoke up.

"Do not interfere with Lin's judgment, otherwise..."

"You will die."

Obsidian's voice was low; he sat on the ground, silently holding some sand and soil in his hands, then squeezed hard, and amidst a terrible crunching sound, the sand and soil were forcibly kneaded into a rock.

Obsidian flicked his fingers, and this small rock was thrown away by great force, falling into the sea and skipping several times before sinking.

In past missions, Obsidian had seen those teammates who died due to Greed Sin; he understood Critical Point best. The other party was completely different from the "cold and vicious sniper" rumored by the outside world; the other party cared very much about his life.

Critical Point had previously used his Tishin to see the situation on Skuld Island and even saw the battle between Moon Demon and Tao Baibai; he cautiously did not shoot at Moon Demon just because he was worried about failing to kill with one blow. Such famous Reincarnators always had quite a few trump cards.

So he wanted to kill Tao Baibai, but did not expect that even after shattering the other party's chest, he still did not get the kill.

Finally, in the chase between Flame Demon, Moon Demon, and Enel, he fired continuously and severely wounded Moon Demon, and his Tishin also followed Moon Demon away, but after a burst of murmuring, he began to be unable to perceive the Tishin's situation.

He was not injured, which meant the Tishin was not injured, but it had been blocked by something...

"We will follow behind that group of Golden Emperor's people, but without my order, you are not allowed to enter the target sea area. The Enel of this world... is somewhat abnormally strong."

The wavy-haired woman 【Michelin】 took out a capsule, came to the seaside, pressed the button, and threw it out; after a huge cloud of smoke, a rather cartoonish small speedboat appeared on the sea.

The four followed behind the large fleet, heading toward the Skuld sea area. Every moment recently, a large number of ships had been arriving in Mock Town, and people from all over the world were still heading toward this sea area because of that uncertain news.

It could only be said that the attraction of 【Golden Town】 was far beyond Bai Cangshu's expectations.

The Golden Emperor's huge ship was in the front, and the ships of various forces followed behind; everyone tacitly did not engage in any communication, while Critical Point followed far behind, simultaneously sensing the condition of his Tishin.

Less than thirty minutes later, the unhurried large fleet finally arrived at a special sea area.

The color of this sea area had turned pitch black, and many floating corpses began to drift on the sea; there were those wearing Navy uniforms and those in various civilian clothes, as if a tragic conflict had broken out between the two sides.

Golden Emperor Taizhuoluo lowered his eyelids and just waved his hand.

"Continue forward."

He wanted to confirm the authenticity of the so-called 【Golden Town】 before the World Government; he knew very well that gold was his value, and such a thing as gold, once it really appeared in too large a quantity, would depreciate.

In the face of such value, the lives of some ordinary people were nothing at all; if necessary, he was willing to pay a high price to wipe everything away.

On Critical Point's side, the wavy-haired woman's eyes turned white, and her body also flew slightly from the boat; the atmosphere began to become restless instantly, and her Spirit began to spread to a very far distance for a moment.

She crossed the many floating corpses on the sea and finally saw Skuld Island and its surrounding sea area shrouded by something like black fog.

"That island seems to be covered by something, there is a layer of black fog..."

"I will go in and take a look again."

She was a Reincarnator with specialized Spirit attributes, very good at perception and spellcasting, and her use of spiritual power was also very proficient; at this moment, her senses zoomed in instantly, and that layer of black fog was not any Barrier.

It could not block her entry.

Critical Point had already raised his gun at this time, and the woman also raised her hand at the same time; 【Spirit Link】 was activated, and all her perceptions would also be shared with Critical Point. With the two's abilities combined, they could also complete over-the-horizon sniping.

Obsidian also silently came to the bow, ready to deal with combat at any time; only the woman holding the sword just weirdly clamped the Tachi's hilt with her index and middle fingers.

Whether it was Flame Demon or Moon Demon, when the 【Critical Sniping】 team was complete, they did not fear the other party; they belonged to a complementary team, very good at focus-fire instant kills and pulling/maneuvering.

Accompanied by the zooming in of the two's vision, huge broken human faces appeared in their field of view; the entire island seemed to be covered by a layer of pitch-black substance, and it was unclear whether that was charcoal left after something was strongly hit by Electric Shock, or if it was the same thing as the black fog.

Bang!

The huge crashing sound attracted Michelin's Spirit, and she looked over, only to see a giant bird over a hundred meters in size violently stomping on the ground, while on the ground, another Monster holding a Black Blade swung out a terrifying sword light like a Lotus.

It is the Moon Demon...

Just as the two had formed a deduction in their hearts, they heard a dragon's roar.

Roar!

Turning their heads back, they saw a giant red dragon in the Empty, struck down by a red lotus.

"Ha~haha!"

A kind of manic laughter erupted from the mouth of that figure; Michelin focused her gaze to look, only to see a tattered pink robe swaying amidst black lightning and purple-black Wave, the character 【Kill】 incomparably clear.

Seeming to sense someone peering, the figure turned its head to look into the Empty.

It is Tao Baibai!

Michelin's spirit was shaken to the core, seeing Tao Baibai's red, twisted face, and only then noticing his left arm, which was burning like flames, as well as the black patterns constantly flowing across his body.

Hum!

Pitch-black lightning exploded through the air, crossing a distance of dozens of nautical miles in an instant, directly piercing through Michelin's body.

Pfft!

The Spirit link severed instantly; Lingjiedian felt himself becoming faint, as he hadn't even fired his gun yet, and that pitch-black lightning had already wounded Michelin.

Michelin suffered a backlash, blood overflowing from her nose and mouth; her entire body trembled incessantly, and she continued to convulse even as she collapsed on the speedboat.

Unable to control her pale complexion, she said,

"It is... it is Conqueror's Haki..."

Conqueror's Haki?!

Lingjiedian found it somewhat hard to believe; could Tao Baibai possess Conqueror's Haki of this intensity?!

To be able to accurately attack Michelin from such a great distance, whether it be Observation Haki or Conqueror's Haki, the intensity could already be called Four Emperors level.

Woo-woo~

The long, drawn-out whistle unique to large warships sounded.

Heiyaoshi turned back immediately; he appeared before the few people at the stern in an instant, but upon seeing the scene before him, his pupils also constricted.

A warship with a figurehead of a large dog holding a bone was flying in from the Heaven...
