Academy City's Puppet Master

===Chapter 29 Hiring a Magician===

Ling Xingye couldn't grasp the strange and invisible attack of the enemy, and the futile defenses were meaningless after all, and the wounds on his body were getting more and more.

Lu Cun smiled exaggeratedly, leaning forward and backward, in the violent body movements, he inadvertently launched a new attack.

"The same attack, how could it be possible for you to succeed one after another!" Ling Xingye gritted his teeth and closed his eyes cruelly.

Concentrating all his energy on hearing and touch, he immediately felt a breeze blowing towards his cheek.

Is this it?

Without time to think, Ling Xingye raised his arms to protect his cheeks.

Stinging, the sound of cuffs and clothes being ripped, and then the strange sound of skin and muscles being cut...

Ling Xingye opened his eyes abruptly, stretched out his left arm and tensed his muscles, grabbing the attacker forcefully.

Drenched in blood, the weapon used by Lu Cun finally revealed its true face—it turned out to be a swallowtail dart about ten centimeters long, as sharp as a razor.

But this swallowtail dart is transparent.

Transparency in the true sense is not a level comparable to materials such as glass or transparent plastic.

If it hadn't been stained with Ling Xingye's blood, it would be difficult for him to see the dart even if it was close in front of his eyes.

Ling Xingye carefully twisted the swallowtail dart, and was hit several times because of negligence during this period.

But Ling Xingye ignored the newly added wounds on his body.

Instead, he carefully observed the swallowtail dart in his hand—a special weapon made of a special material, almost completely transparent and invisible, and even the blood on it dripped quickly, returning to a transparent and invisible state.

The swallowtail dart is very light, less than fifty grams.With a weapon of this quality, it is very difficult to inflict fatal wounds.

So Ling Xingye didn't bother to stop the attacks of other darts - instead of guarding against such invisible attacks, it is better to directly defeat the enemies who use weapons...

Just knock down the enemies before you fall yourself!

"Oh? Have you found it? The visible light transmission rate is 90.00% [-], and the special polycarbonate with a refractive index of about [-]-this is the material used to make my darts." Lu Cun raised his hand, as if He was showing the swallowtail dart in his hand, but Ling Xingye couldn't see it at all.

"It is a cutting-edge high-tech material at the laboratory level." Lu Cun introduced it leisurely, "Just like your silk thread, it is the crystallization of science and technology. Although it is not produced by Academy City, you and I both know—— This Academy City only represents the world's leading level in the development of superpowers, and relying on the rapid development of other science and technology driven by the development of abilities, it has created this city that claims to be 20 years ahead of the world."

"But in fact," Lu Cun grinned and spread his five fingers on his right hand, "There are at least a handful of organizations that can match or even surpass Academy City in terms of science and technology other than the development of superpowers!"

"Technology can't establish an advantage for you, and my superpower is offset by my magic, so what advantage do you have left?"

Ling Xingye lowered his arms: "I am a puppet master, and the only thing I can rely on is of course the skills I have mastered through hard work."

After all, he rushed forward with sprites again.

"Oh, do you still have the strength to move? Then aim for your legs for the next blow."

The monster has already killed the enemy, so he gave up the wrist knife and directly punched and kicked.

To deal with puppets without physical weakness, using joint techniques to break off their limbs and then destroy the target is far more effective than using bladed weapons.

Because a blade capable of cutting through steel armor is not a piece of equipment that can be seen everywhere.

This is a combat skill that every puppeteer must master.

Of course Ling Xingye is no exception——

"Tear it down, sprite!"

"Bleed, Xingye!" Lu Cun swung one hand quickly, and he didn't know how many swallowtail darts he threw in a flash.

Click!

The monster snapped off Lu Cun's right arm, and Ling Xingye also suffered several wounds as a price.

But Ling Xingye showed a smile on his face——

"Caught you!"

Just now by manipulating the silk thread, he has successfully intercepted twelve swallowtail darts.

As long as you get familiar with the rhythm again, you can completely prevent the enemy's attack!

"If you can continue to throw darts..." Looking at Lu Cun with his broken arms, Ling Xingye ruthlessly manipulated the sprites to kill them all.

boom!

It was like the muffled sound of opening champagne.

A grenade hit the invisible barrier in front of Ling Xingye and exploded!

Ling Xingye paused, then turned to look.

Has the enemy's helper arrived too?

A magician who is good at flames and explosions—this kind of straightforward attack is really easy to understand.

Ling Xingye was distracted, while defending against the second enemy's attack, he continued to manipulate the sprites to hunt and kill Lu Cun.

Throughout the battle, Ling Xingye had actually placed defenses in front of him—that is, the "invincible defense" that blocked the super electromagnetic gun and Weishan.

But Lu Cun's attack didn't go in a straight line at all, the swallowtail dart completely followed the airflow, drawing a strange arc and attacking from the side or even behind.

Ling Xingye had to take care of controlling the sprites to fight, and he didn't have the energy to put a defensive barrier on his whole body.
