But Caesar's movements became increasingly difficult. His dual pistols struggled to lock onto targets accurately. The enemy was simply too fast, while he himself seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, his movements sluggish and unable to cope.
Just then, the enemy leader suddenly appeared behind Caesar, his blade flashing with a deadly light, aimed straight at Caesar's back.
Caesar felt a strong killing intent coming from behind, but his movements were suppressed by the Word Power Domain, and he was unable to react quickly.
"Caesar, watch out!" Tian suddenly shouted, opening fire quickly in an attempt to halt the enemy's attack.
The bullet slicing through the air, but the enemy seemed to have anticipated Tian's move, easily dodging the shot. The blade, still carrying a chilling killing intent, pressed towards Caesar.
Just at the critical moment, Chu Zihang's blade suddenly slashed down from the side, colliding with the enemy's longsword with a loud bang.
Caesar seized the opportunity to retreat quickly, cold sweat sliding down his forehead. He had just been nearly killed by an enemy's attack, and was still shaken.
"He's too fast; our attacks are unlikely to be effective." Caesar panted heavily, quickly readjusting his gun, trying to find an opening in his opponent's defenses.
"Moreover, his power of words is gradually suppressing our actions; the closer we get to him, the slower we become."
“His power is indeed formidable, but it is not invincible,” Tian calmly analyzed, a thoughtful glint in his eyes. “Although his domain of word magic is vast, it must have a core. Finding the core will allow us to break his suppression.”
Caesar quickly understood the will of Heaven and began to observe the enemy's actions, searching for the source of the power of words.
But the enemy's movements remained swift, as if they wouldn't give them any chance to breathe. Each strike carried a deadly intent, seemingly gradually dismantling their defenses.
“We must find a way to disrupt his rhythm,” Caesar said in a low voice, quickly devising a strategy in his mind.
"If we continue like this, he will only defeat us one by one."
“I’ll create an opening,” Tian suddenly said, his eyes flashing with determination. “I’ll suppress him with ranged firepower; you guys look for opportunities to get close to the core.”
Caesar knew that going to heaven was a risk, but in this situation, they had no other choice.
“I’ll cover you.” Caesar nodded firmly, quickly adjusting his gun to prepare to cooperate with Tian’s operation.
He suddenly leaped into the air, his two guns tracing precise paths through the air, bullets raining down on the enemy, attempting to use long-range firepower to restrain their movements.
Caesar, meanwhile, searched the ground for an opportunity, attempting to locate the enemy's core Word of Power. His gaze was fixed on the enemy's every move, his heart pounding rapidly and resolutely.
"I can't hesitate any longer," Caesar told himself, quickly adjusting his breathing and aiming his two pistols at the enemy's possible opening.
Just as the bullets forced the enemy to retreat, Caesar suddenly charged out, firing his two guns in quick succession, forcing the enemy to expose more of their weaknesses.
The enemy clearly hadn't expected the squad to find an opportunity to counterattack in such a powerful field of incantations, and their movements faltered slightly.
Caesar seized this moment, suddenly closing in to try and break through the core of the Word of Power's domain. His twin pistols were aimed at a rune on the enemy's chest, one of the sources of the enemy's Word of Power.
"This is it!" Caesar shouted, pulling the triggers of both guns, the bullets flying straight towards the rune core in the enemy's heart.
However, the enemy reacted with lightning speed, instantly dodging Caesar's fatal blow. His eyes narrowed, as if he realized he had exposed a crucial weakness. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze. The enemy quickly withdrew his attack, retreating lightly, attempting to increase the distance between himself and Caesar.
“He’s realized it.” Tian’s voice came from afar, carrying a calm assessment. “Now that we know his core, he’ll be even more careful.”
"We can't give him a chance to breathe!" Caesar quickly adjusted his stance, aiming his twin pistols at the enemy again, his eyes filled with determination. He knew that although the previous opportunity hadn't resulted in a direct strike, it was enough to put the enemy on the defensive. Their current advantage was that the enemy could no longer easily rely on the power of their Word of Power to suppress them, and they had to proceed with caution.
"I'll hold him off. You guys quickly find a second opportunity." Chu Zihang's voice was deep and calm. His blade flashed again in the night, cutting a cold line. He charged forward instantly, his blade aimed directly at the enemy, engaging in close combat once more. The enemy quickly switched from defense to offense, his longsword clashing with Chu Zihang's blade, producing a clanging metallic sound and sparks flying.
“His defense has become even tighter.” Caesar gritted his teeth, observing the clash between the enemy and Chu Zihang, searching for the next breakthrough. The enemy's movements remained agile, each defense as fluid as flowing water, as if every action had been precisely calculated, leaving no flaws whatsoever.
Just as Caesar was racking his brains for a solution, the enemy suddenly counterattacked, unleashing a barrage of longsword strikes like a storm, forcing Chu Zihang to retreat step by step.
"Damn it, he's gotten even faster!" Lu Mingfei shouted a warning from the flank, his eyes filled with tension and anxiety. The enemy had clearly adjusted their strategy in a short time, no longer relying solely on the Word of Power domain, but instead turning to pure speed and power suppression.
"He's forcing us to make mistakes," Tian calmly analyzed, firing his dual pistols continuously in an attempt to disrupt the enemy's rhythm.
But the enemy's defenses remained as solid as an iron wall, and he skillfully dodged every bullet or easily deflected them with his longsword. Caesar felt an unprecedented pressure, thinking to himself, "If we continue to be so passive, we will soon fall into his trap."
Suddenly, Chu Zihang turned around abruptly, and as he cleaved through the enemy's defenses with his blade, he whispered, "Caesar, prepare!"
Caesar instantly understood Chu Zihang's intention, quickly took a step forward, and aimed his dual pistols at the enemy's rune core once more. The enemy had just deflected Chu Zihang's attack and hadn't had time to adjust his defense when Caesar's bullets were already fired, whistling through the air as they hurtled straight towards his chest.
This time, the enemy had no way to dodge. He narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly held his long sword horizontally in front of his chest, trying to block Caesar's bullet.
The bullet struck his longsword with a deafening bang, the blade trembled violently, and the enemy stumbled back, nearly dropping the sword. Caesar felt a surge of excitement, knowing that cracks were beginning to appear in the enemy's defenses.
"Now is our chance!" Chu Zihang shouted, rushing towards the enemy like a whirlwind, his blade aimed straight at his throat.
The enemy hastily parried with his sword, but Chu Zihang's strength and speed were at their peak. Sparks flew as their blades clashed, and the enemy finally showed signs of fatigue.
Caesar seized the momentary opening and pulled the trigger again. This time, he aimed not only at the rune core but also at the enemy's already damaged defenses.
The bullets from the dual pistols were fired at extremely high speeds, heading straight for the enemy's chest. The enemy was no longer able to dodge or block quickly enough; the bullets struck his rune core with perfect accuracy.
With a loud "bang," the rune core was struck, and a powerful energy surge erupted from the enemy's chest.
His body was instantly blasted several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground. The long sword slipped from his hand, and the oppressive aura of the Word of Power vanished instantly. A flicker of shock and resentment flashed in the enemy's eyes, but he no longer had the strength to stand up.
Caesar, panting heavily, felt the tension and pressure in his heart finally ease.
"He's fallen..." Caesar murmured, his gaze still fixed warily on the fallen enemy, confirming he had no strength left to retaliate. The surrounding air seemed to finally ease, the oppressive atmosphere gradually dissipated, and a moment of tranquility returned to the battlefield.
"Well done, Caesar." Chu Zihang walked to Caesar's side and nodded slightly. Although he remained calm, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
Caesar felt a surge of excitement, not only because of the victory, but also because he felt the trust from Chu Zihang and his teammates.
"The battle is not completely over yet," Tian calmly reminded him, his gaze still fixed on the remaining enemy forces in the distance.
“But their morale has been crushed; all that’s left is to clean up the battlefield.” His tone was calm and analytical, but he was clearly satisfied with Caesar’s performance.
Caesar nodded, took a deep breath, and quickly regained his fighting spirit, preparing for the upcoming battle.
He knew that although the leader had fallen, the crisis on the battlefield was far from over. The remnants of the enemy forces still lingered in the distance, watching with predatory intent. His gaze sharpened once more, his grip on his pistols tightening, ready to respond to any possible counterattack.
"Everyone, stay alert and don't let your guard down." Chu Zihang's deep and powerful voice rang out quickly through the communicator.
His sharp gaze swept over the remaining enemy forces around him. Although the enemy's morale had wavered due to the fall of their leader, they were still struggling to maintain their formation and were unwilling to admit defeat.
“They might fight to the death.” Tian stood on the high ground, his golden eyes gleaming. “Be careful, they haven’t completely given up yet.”
