Chapter 154: Horizon
"Quick... destroy all the stone statues you can see up there! Destroy them before that guy absorbs their spirituality!"
Above the open space in the middle of St. Amanda's School, the bald ghost that came out of the ground shouted twice in the voice of a deer skeleton and then disappeared, leaving Godfrey and Oswan looking at each other in confusion.
"The enemy of Deer Skull uses the spirit sculpture method to accumulate spirituality. He can store the spiritual stone statues he has carved instead of absorbing them, and then complete the last step of absorbing them when he needs them."
"We must smash those stone statues immediately, otherwise that guy's spiritual power will continue to flow! We must help Deer Skull up there!"
After talking to each other, Ooswan and Godfrey immediately understood the current situation. They had to assist Luskull in fighting against Aldrich, and the way to assist was to destroy all the stone statues on campus and block Aldrich's spiritual source.
Godfrey and Oswan immediately opened their suitcases. As bone makers, they were ready to pick up their bone tools and start working. At this moment, strange changes occurred all around them.
Around the open space, behind the pillars of the corridor, by the windows upstairs, and in the bushes of the altar, five men in different clothes suddenly emerged. These men had indifferent expressions and held a pistol in their hands, pointing it at the two people on the open space.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Suddenly, five men with guns opened fire at Godfrey and Oswan at the same time. Bullets poured down from all angles at the two men. Caught off guard, both were hit by a bullet each and were knocked to the ground.
For normal people, being shot like this would make them lose the ability to move even if they didn’t die. However, they were Extraordinary Beings, “Stone” Extraordinary Beings.
"Ugh... there's an ambush!"
Oswan was shot in the left shoulder and fell to the ground in pain. He screamed, then waved the empty bone in his hand, summoned his own ghost to drill into the suitcase, and then four bone shields flew out of the suitcase.
These shields were made of countless human bones, a little over one meter long and wide, of different shapes, and engraved with spells. After flying out of the suitcase, they immediately began to surround the two people lying on the ground, blocking all the bullets coming from all directions.
Although ordinary human bones cannot resist bullets, after being processed by bone craftsmen, these bones have become strong enough to be used as weapons.
Protected by the bone shield, Oswan and Godfrey stood up again. Oswan gritted his teeth and scratched his shoulder. The skin there cracked like rock, and the center of the crack was embedded with a bullet that was deformed by the impact of a hard object.
The extraordinary people of the Path of Stone have the ability to harden their skin at the Apprentice level. After hardening their skin, the Apprentice-level "Stone" can resist ordinary swords. When they advance to the Black Level, no matter which side they advance in, their hardening ability can be enhanced. The hardness of the Black Level can barely resist bullets.
Of course, this only means they can barely withstand the attack, which does not mean they can completely ignore bullets. If they are continuously hit in the same position, their bodies can still be penetrated, and they will lose balance and fall down after being hit by bullets. They do not have a strong physique like "Cup" that can withstand bullets and not fall down.
Oswan gritted his teeth and pulled out the bullet. He then looked at Godfrey beside him. He was also slowly standing up and pulling out the bullet.
"That old guy has also asked for help. I'll defend and you deal with them!"
Oswan shouted at Godfrey, and Godfrey's expression froze after he stood up. Then he controlled his ghost and transferred it into the briefcase. Then five bone blades in the briefcase flew into the air, hitting the outside of the shield and flew towards the attackers at high speed.
Seeing the bone blade coming, the five armed attackers immediately stopped shooting and hid back in the bunker. In the end, only one attacker hiding in the bushes was beheaded by the bone blade. The other bone blades had to stop in mid-air because Godfrey lost sight of the target.
Then the four attackers crouched and began to move quickly behind the cover. Using various visual covers, they moved from one pillar to another, from one window to another, and then suddenly leaned out and shot at Godfrey and the others.
And when the bone blade attacked them, they hid back again, and then started moving again where Godfrey couldn't see them. After moving to the right angle and position, they popped out again and shot at the two people in the open space. When Godfrey reacted and controlled the bone blade to attack, they hid back again, and then moved to another place.
In this way, taking advantage of the terrain, the attackers fought a guerrilla war with Godfrey, attacking here and there, often popping up from unexpected places to shoot them. The bone shield, which was one meter wide on all sides, was far from being able to provide 360-degree defense. The two of them were often hit by bullets coming from weird angles, and their skin was shattered as they were knocked to the ground.
Both Godfrey and Oswan could only take into account the area in front of them. The attackers usually appeared from their blind spots and attacked. They were both confused in anger as to how the attackers could grasp their movements so accurately. Little did they know that in the sky, a crow was always circling above their heads, overlooking the area below.
Faced with this situation, Godfrey was very annoyed. He now felt like he was playing whack-a-mole, and his reaction was super fast, a high-difficulty whack-a-mole. He went down one hole and popped out of another. The key was that these gophers not only knew how to hide, but also how to hit people. Every time they came out, they would punch you. If you ignored them, they would come out together and beat you up, so ignoring them was not enough.
"Damn... these guys are so good at hiding! There's no way to catch them!" Godfrey said angrily as he faced the cold gunfire coming from all directions. This was why he didn't like his targets hiding in buildings. They were extremely difficult to catch.
"We won't be able to complete the mission of the Deer Skull if we continue to be disturbed like this. This is for you! Hurry up and get rid of them all at once! The mission is urgent now!"
At this time, Oswan, who was controlling the shield to defend against cold gunshots, directly handed Godfrey a piece of straw paper. Godfrey took a look and found that it was a talisman. When he saw the two talismans, he was immediately stunned.
"Okay, wait a moment."
As he spoke, Godfrey put a talisman on his right palm. The talisman burned quickly and left a "stone" symbol on the palm of Godfrey's hand. Then, Godfrey pressed his right hand to the ground.
"Listening to the Earth Seal"
In the gap between a small earthquake, Godfrey activated the talisman on his hand, supported his right hand on the ground, closed his eyes, and then began to concentrate on feeling the vibration of the rocks and the earth.
All of a sudden, Godfrey's perception was expanded countless times. His perception surpassed the obstacles and spread to half of the school. Within his perception range, all kinds of vibrations were sensed by him, including those of the attackers moving around behind the cover.
The sense of "Stone" is expressed as touch. By sensing vibrations, "Stone" Extraordinary people can see through touch and see things with an alternative vision, and this vision will not be blocked by obstacles.
"Hmph, now... I see you."
With a sneer, Godfrey closed his eyes and controlled his bone blade to fly into the school building, then began to reap the attackers hiding behind the bunkers.
Dorothy's corpses were caught off guard and their heads were chopped off by the attacking bone blades.
