Here hees!


    KA-BOOM!


    Mark suddenly appeared through the wall of the office building like a monster, and the killer grit his teeth and fired straight for a canister that was attached to the wall!


    m!


    Ka-boom!!


    A massive explosion rocked the building, and the killerdidn''twaste time as he grabbed a grenade from behind him! He pulled the pin with his teeth and tossed it towards where Mark was before he turned and ran towards the other side of the office!


    BOOM!


    Another massive explosion rocked the area behind him, and he saw a dust cloud rising from where he had thrown the grenade! The sound of footsteps behind him alerted him toMark''smovement, and the killer immediately brought out a small remote and pressed a button!


    The area around the spot that he had been standing in also exploded and sent shrapnel and fire everywhere, and thekiller sted off to keep running as a dust cloud rose from the ground and filled the entire room!


    There is no way that Mark would make it out of something like that unscathed! Those explosionswere filledwith the superhumankiller''sspecial bullets. Theyweren''tas strong as the first hat heused to try and kill Mark, but they were still strong enough to kill an A-rankeasilyifthey were hitwith it! There is no way that Mark would –


    "Clench your teeth."


    What -!!?


    BOOM!


    A phantom suddenly appeared beside the superhuman killer, and the superhuman killer had never felt as much shock in his life as he did at that moment! The killer lifted his body and positioned itproperlybefore clenching his teeth tightly as Mark pulled his fist back and mmed it into thekiller''srib!


    m!


    The killer was sentflying out of the office and into the corridor of the building!


    Boom!


    "GAH!"


    A massive wave of pain surged through thekiller''sbody as his back mmed into the wandhe fell to the ground! He pulled his shirt up and sawthat there wasa ck exoskeleton around the area that Markjustpunched, but thatexoskeleton was already cracking and breaking! What sort of monster is this kid!?


    The superhuman killer was also a superhuman, but his patron God was someone who was not even worth mentioning. The god did not have a name, and as far as the superhuman killer knew, his god did not have a domain either.The superhuman killer was C-rank, and hisblessing was called [Direct Protection].


    The killer could manifest an exoskeleton around his body that would protect him from any external impacts and prevent his body from taking damage. But there were two things that were massively wrong with the blessing that made it almost pointlessto even have it.


    The first thing was the fact that the strength of the exoskeleton depended on how much of your body you were covering at any time.If you used the exoskeleton to cover your entire body,thenit would be far lesspowerfulthan if you used ittojustcover a small part of your body.


    And the second thing that made it useless was how it received impact. The exoskeleton was only strong against directpression impact.


    If the exoskeleton received an impact atexactlyny degrees, then it would be capable of tanking hits from even S ranks, but ifitwasreceiving the hit at any angle other than ny degrees, thenthe strength of the exoskeleton would bepromisedwith the change in angle!


    That is why the killer had to position his bodyproperlyat that moment when Mark punched him just now. The killer received that punch at an angle that was close to ny degrees, and that was the only reason why he was able to survive it!


    If he had taken that blow at an angle far from ny degreesorif he had used the exoskeleton on his entire body without concentrating it on one spot, then he would surely be dead by now! Mark packed a fucking wallop in his punches!


    The killer wasted no time and bolted to his feet as he heard the sound of someone walking out of the office! He crashed through the door at the side that led to the emergency stairwell and jumped over the railing and down to a lower floor!


    The superhuman killer was already nning to get out of the building as quickly as possible to blend into the crowd outside andget away. He knew that he would bepromising himself by going out there when there were guild members and other police officers in the area, but hecouldn''tstay in here and risk getting killed by Mark.


    He wouldrathergo out there and riskbeing seen, and then he would just take some time off and wait for things to calm down again before he tried to kill Mark for the second time!


    But the superhuman killer could see allofhis ns crumbling to dust as voices beganto ythrough his radio.The radio he had was tappedinto the direct feed from police squadsas well asguilds, so hewas able toreceive all of their direct broadcasts through the radio!


    [Attention all guild members. We have orders to station around Building 5A at Fifth Avenue. The superhuman killeris believedto be in the building. We have received an image identification, and all guild membersare directedto kill on sight. The mission is directly from the Artemis guild.]


    [Police squad moving into Building 5A.]


    [Artemis guild snipers, locked on Building 5A. Kill-on-sight orders havebeen received.]


    [This is the Metropole Channel reporting live from above Building 5A on FifthAvenuewhere the superhuman GHOST is currentlyin battleagainst whatis believedto be the superhuman responsible for the death of five superhumans over the past four years! On your screens now is an image of the killer, and we will be bringing you -]


    Screech!


    Bam!


    The killer bit his tongue in anger as he reached out and grabbed hold of the railing on the fifth floor! He pulled himself up and onto the floor before bolting through the door to reach a different side of the building!


    What the fuck is going on!? How did they find out that he was here!?


    The killer knew that he had to stay calm. That was one of the first trainingthat heever received in his military days. No matter the situation, no matter howdifficultor impossible things looked. Stay calm and find an alternative route. There is always a way out.


    "We''vefound hi-"


    Bang!


    Bang!


    A policeman suddenly shouted from in front of the killer when he turned around the corner, and the killer wasted no time as he used his revolver to fire two shots! The first one went right into thepoliceman''sforehead, and the second one took out his partner who had been following behind him!


    The killer hid behind a depression in the wall as he heard footstepsing closer.


    One. Two. Five. No, ten, about ten people.


    Their footsteps are light, so they areeither regrhumans,orthey areweak superhumans.Movingin a coordinated group. They have squads.It''sa police toon.


    Difficulty: Easy.
