Chapter 37

After emerging from the cave, they were still in a chaotic rocky hill, with a very narrow field of vision. However, the game administrator had been monitoring the entire Wallachian Plain from an overhead angle and had activated a powerful data stream to guide them, so the maintainers didn't have to worry about losing their target.

Jing Ke and Lan Xin chased to Istanbul, while Sun Ran sprinted towards Targoviste.

With the help of the divine movement talisman, Sun Ran, Ke'er, and Bai Tingxuan quickly climbed to the top of the hill. Following the position provided by the administrator, they immediately saw two black dots rapidly fleeing on the plain several kilometers away.

The speed of the two black dots far exceeded that of ordinary people, faster than galloping horses. They were already nearly a kilometer apart, and the distance was rapidly increasing.

However, they were fast, but not as fast as Sun Ran and the others with the divine movement talisman.

Under the divine movement talisman, they could travel a thousand miles in a day, which was no exaggeration.

Sun Ran made a quick decision: "Xuanxuan, Ke'er, you go after the one on the left. I'll chase the one on the right."

These saboteurs were powerful, and Ke'er, being an assassin, was hard to handle alone. With Xuanxuan's assistance, they should at least be able to hold him off for a while.

During this time, Sun Ran was confident he could kill his target and then rush over to help.

The two women nodded: "Be careful."

"You too. I'll send you off."

With that, Sun Ran muttered a spell, and two seconds later, he waved his staff, and a gust of wind rose, blowing against the backs of the two women.

Native spell: Wind Bridge. A level-two spell that required a chant and at least two seconds to cast.

The two women felt a gentle but powerful hand pushing them from behind, almost losing their balance. They heard Sun Ran's voice: "Jump down the hill!"

The two women trusted Sun Ran completely and, without hesitation, leaped from the top of the nearly five-meter-high rock.

The wind immediately propelled them, carrying them steadily and quickly down the hill towards the saboteurs, as if a bridge had been built in the air.

After a dozen seconds, the two women stood at the bottom of the hill, less than a kilometer from the saboteurs. Ke'er took the lead, with Bai Tingxuan following closely behind, continuously scattering puppet paper figures.

The paper figures turned into armored soldiers with knives, protecting the two women as they chased after the saboteurs.

Seeing the two women arrive safely, Sun Ran turned his attention to the other saboteur. He took a few steps forward and leaped from the rock.

In mid-air, just before he was about to fall, he waved his staff, and a large ice blade appeared, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. When it reached Sun Ran's feet, it stopped spinning and transformed into a translucent hexagonal ice spike.

Controllability—this was the advantage of magic over technology. In this aspect, Western magic was much stronger than technology but far inferior to Eastern Daoist techniques. However, every advantage has a disadvantage; with controllability, the destructive power of the skill was reduced.

Sun Ran took a step, landing on the side of the ice spike, using it for leverage, and then took another step. Another ice blade was waiting for him, supporting his weight.

Thus, with the divine movement talisman, Sun Ran ran through the air, as if walking on flat ground, much faster than the Wind Bridge spell.

Sun Ran's body was not particularly strong, and he had no martial skills, but he had practiced health-preserving exercises for years on Earth, achieving a high degree of unity between his mind and body. In other words, his body coordination was excellent.

From a distance, he looked like an ancient immortal, descending from the hilltop, moving at an incredible speed.

This magical technique was so astonishing that Ke'er, who had just landed, turned back and stared for half a second before regaining her senses. She turned to Bai Tingxuan and said, "Sister Xuan, look, Husband is flying."

The saboteur being pursued by Sun Ran was Roder, the same one who had sniped them at the cave entrance. He also saw this scene and felt immense pressure.

The other side was demonstrating their power, using incredible magical techniques to create an overwhelming momentum. Even before the actual fight, they had established a significant psychological advantage.

Roder knew this, but as a tech specialist in the team, he was more inclined towards support and had low combat power. He inevitably fell for the trick and gave up the idea of resistance. His only thought was: run, run faster, to buy more time for Henry and the boss who went to Istanbul.

In a space station dozens of kilometers away, Hao Qiang watched Sun Ran running through the sky and the saboteur who had no intention of resisting. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This guy has turned magic into a god."

This guy, codenamed Rose Tree, had significantly boosted the combat power of the Thorn Rose team, shattering the momentum the saboteurs had built over several years and turning the tide, forcing the saboteurs to flee like dogs.

Indeed, he was impressive!

Sun Ran moved in a straight line in the sky, and his speed was much faster than the saboteur's. In less than three minutes, he was within 200 meters of the saboteur.

This distance was close to the range of a spell. Sun Ran descended from the sky and began chanting the 'Ice Shield' spell, which required ten seconds to cast, so he had to prepare in advance.

Before attacking, one must ensure they are in an invincible position. This was Sun Ran's combat philosophy.

During the time it took to cast the Ice Shield, the distance between Sun Ran and the saboteur gradually shortened, entering the spell's range. By then, his Ice Shield was almost complete, but it had not yet appeared.

Sun Ran was at the Black Iron level and could legally possess only level-two maintainer permissions, which limited his use of high-level spells. This was a weakness, and to compensate, Sun Ran used a delay technique.

Delayed casting: Using magic to gather the data needed for the spell, then maintaining control of the data and temporarily storing it until it was truly needed, at which point it would be released to form a usable spell.

This technique required a high level of data control, which was not something just anyone could do, but for Sun Ran, it was not a problem. Not only was it not a problem, but he even began multitasking, gathering data and casting his maintainer spell: Ice Blade.

The tip of his staff glowed slightly, and an Ice Blade silently shot out, following a random curved path, floating uncertainly towards the saboteur.

Roder, who was in front, found it strange that Sun Ran was silent and turned his head to look. He saw a flash of cold light, and a spell was already within ten meters of him!

"Damn, how can his spells be silent?" Roder cursed, breaking out in a cold sweat. Anyone who almost got killed would react the same way.

His vampire physique saved him, and at the last moment, he lunged forward, rolling on the ground.

Seeing his spell detected, Sun Ran relaxed his control over the Ice Blade. The previously silent Ice Blade immediately let out a sharp whistle and whizzed past Roder's scalp, making him shudder and his hair stand on end.

Roder was also impressive. As he rolled on the ground, he took off his sniper rifle, crouched, and found his balance, aiming at Sun Ran and pulling the trigger.

A loud bang, and a puff of blue smoke emerged from the muzzle.

Sun Ran had already seen the saboteur's weapon and was prepared. When Roder rolled, the Ice Shield spell he had been gathering on his staff was released at the same time.

By the time the saboteur fired, the Ice Shield had formed, blocking Sun Ran.

Before the sound of the gunshot reached Sun Ran's ears, a spider-web-like crack appeared in the center of the Ice Shield, with a dented bullet embedded in the center!

Sun Ran sighed inwardly. Being a saboteur was really great; they could do anything without regard for the technological level of the era, creating a sniper rifle that wouldn't appear for at least 400 years, with insane power, almost breaking his level-three spell.

If he hadn't been prepared, a normal person would have been headshot.

However, after this shot, the saboteur lost his chance.

The Ice Blade Sun Ran had previously cast did not land but made a large arc in the air, returning from another direction and rushing towards the saboteur.

With a 'swish,' the high-speed rotating ice blade sliced through the saboteur's chest, not only severing the rifle in his hand but also taking a large chunk of flesh and blood.

The saboteur's body was thrown into the air by the impact of the Ice Blade, spinning several times before landing on the ground, motionless. The rifle in his hand was split into two pieces and fell to the ground.

Vampires have powerful physiques, like this one, at least a viscount level, which is a level-two role, with extremely fast speed. However, no matter how strong the body, it only excels in close combat. When facing a long-range mage, they are at a disadvantage. If the mage's casting technique is superb, they have almost no chance of survival.

No matter how fast a vampire is, it cannot match the speed of a spell. In this vast, open plain, there was nowhere to hide, making them a human target. Thus, this vampire met a tragic end.

After one strike, the saboteur lay on the ground, seemingly lifeless. However, Sun Ran did not take any chances and did not approach. He began to shoot Ice Blades one after another, maintaining the attack for nine seconds, casting nine spells, reducing the saboteur's body to a bloody mess.

At this point, even a god would be dead.

Sun Ran then felt relieved, walked over, picked up the fallen sniper rifle, and couldn't help but admire it. This vampire was truly talented. Despite the rudimentary equipment of the medieval era, the rifle was made with such precision, comparable to high-precision machine tools.

Sun Ran threw the damaged sniper rifle and cast two more Ice Blades, reducing the fallen rifle to fragments, then rushed towards Ke'er's battlefield.

Since this saboteur was not a mage, Ke'er might be facing a powerful vampire mage, which was very dangerous.

They were clashing over 3,000 meters away, and Sun Ran couldn't see the details, so he hurried to provide support.

Five minutes later, Sun Ran saw the battlefield. Upon seeing the situation, his anger flared.

This saboteur was much more powerful than the previous one. He moved at high speed while casting spells, using a level-one spell: Fireball. The casting frequency was very high, at least three per second.

The high-frequency spells completely suppressed Bai Tingxuan. If not for the paper soldiers protecting her, Bai Tingxuan would have been eliminated instantly.

Not far away, Ke'er sat on the grass, her face pale, one arm severed at the shoulder, the wound showing a tearing injury. Near the vampire saboteur, a broken sniper rifle lay on the ground, with a dagger deeply embedded in the barrel, likely thrown by Ke'er.

Seeing Ke'er's condition, Sun Ran's face darkened, and he sped up, rushing forward.
