They couldn't even make out the shadows, let alone aim.
V's bullets pierced through the air, each rapid shot reaching the gun's firing limit. To others, it sounded like firecrackers going off in the air.
Four agents had their heads blown off before they could even turn, while two soldiers equipped with Krenzikov barely managed to dodge with accelerated reflexes and their augmented superhuman physique.
As for the two Military Science soldiers installed with Sianwistan and the Frenzy System, one wielded a rifle, moving to the flank while making precise shots in V's direction, leaving space for his partner to engage directly.
The other quickly flicked his hands, and two Mantis Blades, sparking with electricity, clashed unhesitatingly with V's own Mantis Blade.
This time, V finally felt some pressure—these two guys' Sianwistan and Krenzikov were not cheap, they were top-of-the-line within Military Science, and their physical condition was excellent, but most crucial was their combat skills.
V was street-smart and knew some boxing techniques, with outstanding natural talent, but honestly, she wasn't adept at melee combat with cold weapons.
Previously, she had only used guns to deal with punks on the streets and had never gone through formal training.
The Military Science agent in front of her was slightly slower, but the strength in those prosthetic-enhanced arms was not inferior to V's, and his technique was clearly superior.
For a moment, the two were locked in a standoff in close combat.
The two of them exchanged more than ten blows rapidly, sparks flying in the air, as V tried to control her position, dealing with her opponent while also carefully dodging bullets from the side.
The agent in front of V suddenly turned his head, speaking quickly, "Take out the hacker!"
The agent tasked with suppressive fire to create time didn't waste words and accelerated towards Mercer's location with all his might.
Without hesitation, V swung a blade to push back the enemy in front, then turned and rushed towards Mercer's side.
"Trap!"
Mercer could only flash these two words to her Prosthetic Eye, but V instantly understood the problem, swiftly dropping to slide across the ground.
Sure enough, a Wrist Grenade flew past her upper body, landing on the other side of the rooftop, blowing an agent out from behind cover.
Mercer, with a cold expression, simply pushed Diana Kuno in front of him, causing the agent aiming his gun nearby to miss his shot.
"ICE can't hold..." One agent barely managed to issue a warning before suddenly convulsing and collapsing, like a toppled domino, causing the other agents to fall one after another.
The two agents with operating systems that were Mercer's focus had sparks jump from their heads.
In fact, it was prioritizing the breach of their ICE that took up time, allowing the other agents to survive a little longer.
V, gasping for breath, without hesitation turned back and sliced, sending the head of the agent she was battling flying, leaving the rifle-wielding agent looking only in shock and despair.
They hadn't expected that Mercer could crack the ICE in their implants in such a short amount of time.
And to so ruthlessly hack into multiple targets simultaneously.
V, still in acceleration, took a few steps forward, angrily plunged the Mantis Blade into another agent's chest, lifted him high, using the body to shield against bullets from the two remaining agents, then charged forward with it.
This high-grade agent's body was equipped with top-tier bulletproof armor, deflecting all the bullets bouncing with clangs.
Mercer didn't even need to hack the remaining agents; the furious V swept through them like autumn leaves, taking them all down.
"Phew..." V exhaled deeply, truly feeling a bit tired now.
She shook her hand, flicked off a trail of blood from the Mantis Blade, and turned, somewhat displeased, to the two high-grade agents equipped with operating systems, saying, "Their tactics are really disgusting. I need to figure out how to deal with this kind of guy in the future."
"They have set strategies; the one in front of you is best at defense to stall the enemy, while the other only opened his Sianwistan to the minimum to provide shooting interference, waiting for your Sianwistan to reach its limit.
Once your implant time exceeds and you haven't defeated the opponent, the other guy immediately comes to flank and take you down when you're fatigued."
Mercer's skills might not match V's, but he saw it clearly and understood: "Finally, they intentionally made a sound, luring you to protect me and reveal a flaw, creating an opportunity for the other guy to use the Wrist Grenade Launcher."
"Tch..." V looked a bit unhappy.
Mercer laughed, patting her shoulder: "What? Handling two high-grade Military Science agents alone, and you still feel inadequate?"
"...I'll go back and practice more," V said defiantly. "Next time we meet, I'll take this kind of guy out in three seconds!"
Mercer shook his head and then said, "You're already very strong, not everyone can handle opponents of this level two at a time."
