Chapter 169: In Hiding

'The kickback on this thing is no joke,' Ace though to himself, rubbing his sore shoulder as he quickly moved to a new vantage point deeper in the woods. He couldn't assume the curse user was working alone. To stay undetected, he stuck three talismans to his body—Silence, Invisibility, and Presence Erasing—ensuring his movements remained entirely stealthy as he fired or relocated.

Earlier, when he activated the barrier talisman, Ace had already planned his decoy. Instead of staying inside, he slipped out using an invisibility talisman and stuck the barrier talisman to the ground. This misled his attackers into focusing their firepower on the barrier. Guided by Dame Wasp's navigation, he avoided the land mines scattered ahead and made his way into the woods, where he found a secure vantage point to eliminate the curse user with his rail rifle.

'Master, that was overkill. I could've taken him out with my braid laser,' Dame Wasp's voice chimed from the rail rifle's power chamber, her tone slightly teasing through their shared senses.
