BXBX NOVEL Chapter 328 The Streak Breaker
These rounds were invented by Jacob specifically for the agile enemies who were too hard to snipe, but he never released them to the public since it would draw too much unwanted attention to him.
Now, however, these things were his biggest trump cards. They were also what he needed to buy only a fraction, and it will be over because of his sharpened reflexes and the rifle\'s insane speed. It was a combination of sorts.
Jacob also knew this guy seemed to be a long-range attacker who needed to be stopped if he wanted to mount another attack, but he wanted to make him pause at his behest.
Besides, the moment he reaches the ground, he will fall between trees, so he will again become a target of another attack, and that\'s what the Bronze Puppet Assassin seemed to want as well. So, Jacob only had this three or four-second window to end it!
The Bronze Puppet Assassin also never expected a lighting fast response from Jacob as it clearly felt the incoming tiny pins that were fired exactly in the trajectory where he was about to fly into.
Furthermore, those pins were giving it the feeling of strange danger as if it was hit by it would not be pretty.
So, the glowing black disc under his feet finally stopped for a fraction as it wanted to change its trajectory.
But that fraction was all it took when the moment the disc was about to fly right, the Bronze Puppet Assassin\'s head only moved in that position for a moment and was about to leave that position when it felt something sharp and hard touch its bronze hood…
That was the last thing it could even think of because the next moment, its head blew like a water balloon…
"Boooommmm!"
The sonic boom, which sounded like the gong of victory, came right after!
---
"Iron Puppet Assassins and Bronze Puppet Assassin have been killed by the target!
"Iron Class Kill Order has been terminated!
"347 Years Iron Kill Streak has also been ended!
"Streak Breaker: Faceless Ancient has been marked and will be granted 20 Years Iron Immunity Period from all class kill orders!
"The Streak has been broken from the Iron Class Kill Order put up by the Iron Constant-978,359 has to pay 100 times the initial Iron Kill Order price before he can put a new kill order again!
"Bronze Class Streak Breaker Bounty will start on the Faceless Ancient after the Immunity Period end!"
The electric voice buzzed in the entire secret library when Jacob killed the Bronze Puppet Assassin.
However, the secret library was right now completely empty as there were no traces of the Goblette or any bookshelves, as a matter of fact.
Only the reverse hourglass was there, but for some reason, the continuous sand was now slowly filling the upper section of the hourglass, and it was only a hair away from filling the entire section.
But the moment that announcement was made, that tiny section was instantly filled before the hourglass suddenly started to contort, and the next moment, it was wrapped in space and vanished!
No trace of the secret library or the hourglass was left, only an empty space…

Ten minutes later, the restricted barrier around the river finally lifted, and the river started to flow again as if nothing changed.
However, on the river bank, Jacob was looking at the eight headless bodies while a few mutilated body parts were lying beside them. There were also weapons and eight discs on the side.
These were all the things he had scooped out of the river while the barrier was still intact.
After killing the Bronze Puppet Assassin, Jacob made sure that no more assassins were hiding, and only then did he stop using his fluid acceleration and stow away his weapon, and start to collect the loot.
Although he was perplexed about this massive assassin operation, this didn\'t mean he would let those precious meat and discs left so they could flow away. He needed to replenish his energy, after all.
Besides, as annoying and dangerous as these guys are, they were proven to be rather nutritious for his current needs.
Especially the Bronze Puppet Assassin, who drew Jacob\'s attention in all this as not only was he dressed differently, but he was also on a different color disc which was clearly superior to the gray discs. He also found a two-meter purple sniper rifle which was actually not a mech rifle like his but a magic rifle!
\'But what are these mutilated body parts? How did they reach their current state?\' Jacob was most confused about those mutilated body parts.
He could at least tell they belonged to these mutants and were part of their group, but someone they ended up in such a state mysteriously.
So, he had two kinds of theories about those body parts. The first one was quite far-fetched in which someone helped him, while in the second, they fought among themselves, which is an even more far-fetched situation since these guys didn\'t seem to have a mind of their own.
Jacob has another notion that it might have something to do with the Water Mediation, but it is so absurd that he doesn\'t want to believe it, but still, he won\'t ignore it.
Because if it was true, then the Art of Nature might even be far more powerful than he could even imagine.
The moment the barrier was lifted, footsteps rang in the middle of the night as they approached Jacob.
Jacob didn\'t even react as he knew who it belonged to. It was the gnome who was naturally Autarch who Jacob had summoned here.
Jacob coldly spoke at this moment, "Finish off the remaining alchemists by absorbing their memories and take the strongest one of them as a host.
"I was hoping to give you some time to adjust, but it seems we can\'t wait any longer and has to leave. After you\'re done, I want you to look into ten storage rings…"
