Chapter 4: Aimlock Cheat!

The operation of all things in the world each has its own context and trajectory.

This is a sentence Ta Ke read in the Steam Daily.

Initially, Ta Ke only half-understood this sentence.

But today.

Ta Ke not only understood it, but also saw it.

At this moment, within Ta Ke's field of vision.

Everything around exists in the form of context and trajectory.

Context: it is the manifestation of the intersection of oneself with the world, more evident in a stationary state.

Trajectory: it is the true manifestation of one's operational state, more evident in a state of motion.

Context and trajectory, in the form of lines, radiate outward into the surrounding space during the dynamic process.

Ta Ke can precisely capture the minute changes in the trajectory and context of any point.

Is this an S-rank extraordinary talent?

Feeling the state where 'context' and 'trajectory' are perfectly presented before one's eyes.

Ta Ke began to carefully sense the surroundings.

Behind him, Ka Luosi wanted to dodge left with a rolling context and trajectory, which Ta Ke precisely grasped.

This guy wants to dodge left because I'm damn on the left, and this brat wants to use me as a shield.

Even at this juncture, you're still playing eight hundred mind games with me, huh!

Then I'll dodge right next, directly anticipating your anticipation.

Hmm... Human-Faced Stone Snake Ghost, the creature's context is trending toward stability, with no dynamic trajectory of attack.

It's still probing, really a cautious guy.

However... this also gives me more time to digest the results of the extraordinary talent's transformation.

Compared to before, when it was hard to determine when the opponent would launch an attack and in what form.

Now, possessing the 'Precise Vision' that sees the essence of the world's trajectory and context operation.

Ta Ke's mental pressure also lessened considerably.

My magic likewise has its own context and trajectory.

Under the bolster of precision, my attack can fully align with the enemy's trajectory and context, achieving convergence.

That's equivalent to... directly turning on an aimlock cheat?

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly.

Not only can it hit the target, but it can also precisely strike a designated point—point and shoot?

Vaguely, Ta Ke found an opportunity for a desperate comeback.

First, I can precisely judge the opponent's attack trajectory.

As long as the physical reaction can keep up, one can dodge the opponent's attack.

Second...

Ta Ke's Precise Vision wandered over the Human-Faced Stone Snake Ghost for a moment, finally locking onto its eyes.

Aim at its eyes and strike!

Since possessing the S-rank 【Precision】, it's like an aimlock cheat's precise hitting of points.

Not hitting the eyes, mouth, throat, anus and other weak points would be too sorry for this talent.

And the Human-Faced Stone Snake Ghost's eyes are the weak point.

Ka Luosi, it's about to attack.

Ka Luosi, in a state of high alert, suddenly heard Ta Ke's voice.

What?

Just as Ka Luosi was still wondering how Ta Ke had determined that the opponent would attack...

The Human-Faced Stone Snake Ghost suddenly opened its mouth and lunged forward like a cannonball.

Oh, damn it! Ka Luosi let out a strange cry.

Ta Ke's dodging motion and the Human-Faced Stone Snake Ghost's attacking motion proceeded simultaneously.

Although Ka Luosi was a bit slower, thanks to Ta Ke's warning, he also managed to avoid this strike.

Bang!

Ka Luosi had just rolled to a landing when he heard the familiar gunshot echoing in the underground passage.

【Bullet Tendrils】

Warlock Ta Ke's gestural witchcraft.

Although this gestural witchcraft's power isn't very strong, its advantage lies in being convenient and quick; it can be used with a mere raise of the hand.

The gunfire ended!

Roar——

The Human-Faced Stone Snake Ghost, in its fury mixed with crazy roars, sounded like a huge wave exploding in the underground passage.

Hurry up and go!

Just as he was about to warn Ta Ke, Ka Luosi, whom the monster had cleared a path for, saw Ta Ke already run ahead into the passage.

He hurriedly followed.

And behind him, the angry Human-Faced Stone Snake Ghost had already swiftly given chase.

At this moment, the Human-Faced Stone Snake Ghost's right eye had been completely shattered, leaving a bloody hole with blood gushing out.

Originally a handsome face, now stained with blood, it retained only madness and cold hatred.

In the midst of frantic escape.

Ta Ke carefully savored the strike just now.

Just now, although the opponent's movement trajectory was very fast, Ta Ke was still able to perfectly cut into it.

Then things became very simple.

Using his own magical trajectory, he matched the opponent's movement trajectory.

The trajectories thus built a connection, merging together.

Ta Ke only needed to attack; the rest could be left to 【Precision】.

And the S-level Precision at a staggering 478% did not disappoint Ta Ke.

A level-9 Gesture Witchcraft, Bullet Tendril, precisely struck the opponent's eyeball.

"Supernatural beings, especially those that have grown strong through slaughter in dangerous environments, inherently possess powerful supernatural physiques."

"A level-9 Bullet Tendril inflicting heavy damage on a level twenty-eight or twenty-nine second-tier supernatural being is already astonishing."

In the frantic sprint, Ta Ke glanced back slightly.

The life conduit of the Human-faced Stone Snake Ghost was torn open, its vitality draining away.

It was precisely because of this injury that the Human-faced Stone Snake Ghost went mad, relentlessly pursuing Ta Ke.

The distance between them kept closing.

"Ta Ke, that guy is about to catch up."

Feeling the ever-closer Human-faced Stone Snake Ghost, Carlos was remarkably loyal and did not vanish into hiding.

Ta Ke flicked his right hand, forming a gun pose.

After gathering source energy, Ta Ke flung his arm backward.

A level-9 Gesture Witchcraft, Bullet Tendril, launched again.

Even so, Ta Ke did not look back.

If the opponent were farther away, Ta Ke would still need 'Precision Vision' to lock on.

But the Human-faced Stone Snake Ghost had already come close enough; its conduit and trajectory existed in Ta Ke's perception without needing to look.

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out again.

A shrill wail mixed with the thudding of the massive serpent's body rolling on the ground came through.

The Human-faced Stone Snake Ghost's second eye was also ruined.

This sight left Carlos completely dumbfounded.

"How could that hit? Must be a fluke!"

Without even looking, a backward flick could hit the target.

Even the biographies of supernatural rangers wouldn't dare to write it like this.

"How did you hit it?"

Carlos asked doubtfully.

"Nothing special, just practiced hands!" Ta Ke glanced at the Human-faced Stone Snake Ghost, now combat-incapable, and replied calmly.

Carlos's eye twitched, but he didn't press further; probing others' secrets is obviously not a good habit.

Inside the underground cavern passage.

The Human-faced Stone Snake Ghost, blinded and with its skull severely wounded, weakly writhed its serpentine body.

Several 'Fire Oil Bomb' witchcraft strikes hit its body, the blazing fire accelerating its death.

Watching this second-tier Human-faced Stone Snake Ghost so easily dealt with,

Carlos felt a sense of unreality.

This is a second-tier supernatural being.

When the two first encountered this Human-faced Stone Snake Ghost, Carlos almost thought he would become dinner today.

Result!

Ta Ke just two simple Bullet Tendril techniques took care of this second-tier supernatural being.

It cannot be said to be unimaginable; it can only be said to be extremely outrageous.

Theoretically speaking, if one could hit the weak point, such a remarkable effect would indeed be possible.

But the problem is.

Weak points are generally small in area, and living beings consciously protect their weak points.

Precisely hitting a weak point is too difficult.

As the second-tier Human-faced Stone Snake Ghost died, its serpentine body rapidly petrified.

At its skull, a thumb-sized, wholly lustrous 'Stone Snake Ghost Soul Crystal' appeared.

After a supernatural being dies, the supernatural sequence framework condenses into 'crystals'.

These crystals are one of the materials for human sequence advancement.

And their price is very high.

Ta Ke carefully placed the 'Stone Snake Ghost Soul Crystal' into a small iron box for safekeeping.

Both unconsciously looked toward the depths of the underground cavern passage they had fled through.

Go back.

Do not go back.

A very real yet difficult-to-decide problem lay before the two.
