Chapter 71:
“What a pity.”
Zero put down Colt and turned away from his hiding place, looking for the next sniper position.
The trap in the first sniper spot had been carefully designed for Sauron.
The strength of the Dark Council was beyond doubt, as the observation of Sauron’s ranks before Operation Zero had concluded.
The efficient and practical equipment, the marching equipment of the soldiers, and Sauron’s entourage of rank 2 to 3 mutants of different abilities.
Just from these few points alone, the power of the Dark Council could be seen from the side.
However, Saurun’s team was not without weaknesses, and his greatest weakness was Saurun himself.
Through observation, Zero discovered that Saurun was always in a corner of the camp. Even the Adepts had to keep a distance from him.
This meant that Sauron was a proud man, and a man of his own stature.
Such a person may be very powerful, but their teamwork with the team is bound to be pitifully low.
Sauron was king in this line, and the others were soldiers.
Thus, a plan for Sauron took shape in his mind.
The zero sensitivity to mutated creatures’ aura was still on Saurun’s side. It had nothing to do with his ability, but it was a pure intuition coming from his heart.
He couldn’t explain why this was the case, but he knew it was because he knew very well where the greedy and dangerous creatures were hiding in the city, even near the camp of Sauron.
However, when an individual appeared in the midst of the ruins, even if this individual was slightly stronger, the monster in the ruins would not mind such a thing.
For them, the super-strong individuals, they or their flesh will be more sweet.
After finishing his observations, Zero quietly left.
His field of vision was not limited by distance, so he could observe Saurun’s team from afar without being discovered by the Adepts who also possessed anti-reconnaissance capabilities.
After zero left, he walked around Saurun’s camp and headed towards the ruins of the city.
He used his own blood energy to attract some bloodthirsty creatures to the first sniper position in the skyscraper.
There, Zero fired a shot and killed one of Sauron’s soldiers.
He knew that such a proud man as Sauron could not tolerate such an act, and as he had expected, Sauron had killed his way in alone.
Since the king had made his move, the rest of the soldiers could only obediently remain in the camp.
If Sauron did not give the order himself, they would not dare to interfere in the battle between Saurun and Zero.
Knowing this, Saurun’s pride was the key to his victory.
At that sniping point, Zero had set up a simple and effective trap with his own blood.
Those monsters that were attracted by Zero not only provoked the monster’s ferocity, but they also treated Saurun as their prey after he was drenched in blood.
As for the two Shadow Assassins, they had prepared a huge meal for Saurun. Based on common sense, Saurun would never make the mistake of competing with the Shadow Assassin in a narrow area, so he had only one choice.
That was to escape from the skyscraper and deal with the two monsters that followed closely after him in a spacious area.
Hence, Zero’s sniper rifle was already waiting there.
Judging from the terrain, Saurun’s fastest escape route could only be through the window in the corridor.
In an unexpected situation, Saurun could not expect the zeros to be down, so the chances of success were high.
It was just that he had misjudged Saurun’s sensitivity to danger, and so the shot he had expected to take had hit the window frame.
With just that little bit more, he would be able to kill Saurun.
The plan failed, but zero was not discouraged.
He still had a way to go.
In the building, being stopped by Zero, Saurun had lost his best chance to escape.
The nimble Shadow Killer had already arrived behind Saurun, maintaining a safe distance.
But Sauron knew that if he had risked his life he would still have gone through the window, even if there had been no attack.
However, the moment he jumped out of the window, he was bound to attract the attacks of the two Shadow Assassins.
Even at such a close distance, Saurun did not have the confidence to retreat.
Right now, the safest method was to kill these two Shadow Assassins in the corridor before leaving.
However, it was no easier to achieve this than the first choice.
Dark Assassin was the same as the living corpse. It was a mutated life form of a human.
However, they were different from the mutated route that the living corpses had chosen. Although they still maintained seventy percent human form, they were closer to wild beasts than living corpses.
The Dark Assassin’s body was as black as ink. Its fur and fingernails were all black.
Only the pair of eyes on their faces were silvery-white in color, while their four limbs were like beasts.
They have magic crystals on their shoulders, elbows and knees.
These things seemed to be the energy supply organs of the Shadow Killer. There had once been scholars who dissected these creatures and extracted valuable biological energy from these magic crystals.
However, the surface of the magic crystal was as hard as steel. Although it looked as brittle as glass, it could withstand the test of high temperature and strong acid.
Therefore, the Dark Assassin was forced to stop using its magic crystal. This strategy was not to take it.
The Shadow Killer’s weapon came from their arms, but their long, thin arms were disproportionately large.
And these two giant palms could freely combine or split, allowing the Shadow Assassin to create weapons that were like giant scissors.
The mutated shears could even cut off the cannons on the armoured vehicles.
Combined with the Dark Assassin’s enhanced speed, which was equivalent to a human fourth step Agility, the pair of scissors became a deadly weapon in the darkness, making it impossible to guard against.
In the corridor, the two Shadow Assassins were already in combat mode.
Their palms split open in the middle, then the phalanges on both sides closed, then were covered by a layer of flesh that was constantly forming.
After completing this mutation, another layer of something similar to an armor wrapped around the mutated palm.
At the same time that the biological armor provided the Shadow Assassin with a certain amount of defensive power, it also sharpened the edges. At the same time, the terrifying Sniper Hand was also completed.
The monster, Zhang He’s pair of scissors, let out a metallic sound and carefully approached Saurun.
Saurun took a deep breath, red light rising from beneath his feet.
All of the surrounding fire elementals were mobilized by him, and red flames surged out, forming spears and shields in Saurun’s hands.
More red light gathered on Saurun’s chest, shoulders, arms, and legs, and an elemental armor of soaring flames appeared on Saurun’s body.
Elemental Armor is the deeper use of elemental force fields. It will materialize an elemental force field that is invisible to the naked eye, and then compress it into weapons and armor.

The blast from that cannon was equivalent to the annihilation of space by a single element. It was absolutely a power that was on the level of destruction.
Although Saurun was not abnormal enough to use his elemental equipment to the level of destruction, but in this kind of special environment, elemental equipment was more useful than a few of Saurun’s other abilities.
Every Blood Cavalry had a battle art that was tailored to the environment, and Saurun was no exception.
