TOFD 147

Lucky 147

"What did you do!!!?"

He growled like a beast, his bloodshot eyes staring hard at the broken device. He spent millions of dollars just to gather its components, even the battery he acquired to turn it on was enormous!!! Yet he couldn't use it just because of a bullet-sized hole!!

He wanted to tear the person who did this!! Everything that he worked hard for was slowly crumbling before him and it was making him furious. He glared at Calix, the guy whom he killed.

"What, gonna cry?"

Calix snickered.

"You're dead, I killed you!!"

"Oh, hello from the other side then."

"You!!"

Leon roared, he couldn't believe that he was seeing a ghost right now. Yet, the very ghost in front of him was alive and smiling well, mocking him.

"Well, you didn't kill me. You just put me in a water tank."

"That means I killed you."

"Technically. Anyway, what are you going to do now? Are you inventing something, playing Minecraft? That's good, I want you to make your coffin."

Calix taunted him, raising his silencer.

"You asshole…"

Leon's veins appeared on his face, he was furious and vengeful. However, this was not over.

'Dammit!!! The teleportation device is the best way to escape this place unnoticed!!'

He cursed deep in him. Although he had plan-B. This ship had escape pods.

"Hehe, you think you won but my underlings will come back to kill you!!! I promise that you will never have a peaceful death! You should be thankful that you died in the water tank instead!"

"Do you see this shit?"

Calix pointed to his handgun that had a silencer attached.

"I already killed all of your underlings."

"No, that's impossible!!"

"Try me."

Leon didn't notice that his underlings were dying one by one because Calix used a silencer. No gunshot echoed so everything sounded peaceful. His movement was swift and precise, and the terrorists didn't have the time to react and inform Leon.

"..."

Calix glanced at Marianne who was frowning right now. He didn't know what she was thinking. Perhaps she was still mad at Calix for what he did. Her blue ocean eyes were staring at him with unknown motives.

But one thing was for sure.

"Someone will die."

Calix spoke and pulled the trigger. The bullet traveled to Leon but before it could touch his skin, Leon cast his spell and the bullet bounced back instead.

"As expected, killing you will be quite tricky."

Calix experienced fighting Leon dozens of times and he never win. This guy was invincible because of his two Term Attributes.

[Leon Abhorwell]

[Deflect Term Attribute]

[Direction Returner Term Attribute]

[Fuel: Had to use a mirror to see his face once per day.]

[Backlash: His bones will become fragile like glass.]

Calix fought Leon in fistfights, the result was that he always received the damage instead. He would blow away.

"I'm not sure how your power works but I have an idea."

Calix started firing dozens of bullets and Leon deflected all of them. Most of the bullets would bring back to Calix but didn't bother evading them because the bullets evaded him instead.

"First, you have the power to deflect any attack that hit you. Second, this is the trickiest but I confirmed it when I attacked you last time. Once I took a step to get closer to you, a powerful force will slam me instead."

"…"

Calix stated and Leon didn't answer. However, he was surprised deep inside. Because what Calix said was on point. Especially about his second Term Attribute, his Direction Returner was about living things instead of objects. If living beings moved in his direction, Leon could cast his spell to blow them away.

As for his first Term Attribute, he could deflect any attacks that pointed at him. To be honest, his power was quite tricky and people would easily fall for this trap.

Marianne who was listening to Calix was shocked. As Leon's master, she knew how his power works. However, she only learned it after years of watching, yet Calix effortlessly understood it after witnessing it a couple of times.

"Based on Marianne's expression, I guess I'm right."

"Shit!!"

Leon cursed and glared at Marianne who began crawling away from them. She was suffering from backlash and she understood that she would only die if she stepped in their battle. So she back away instead. It was not being a coward but being smart instead. Thankfully, the bullets didn't hit her.

"That woman!!"

"Hey, you know that you're fighting me, right? So leave the woman alone, don't worry, I'll avenge you. Mento, activate the shotgun mode."

His pistol transformed into a shotgun and aimed it at Leon. A powerful force made Leon step back.

"The best way to render your power is by not getting closer. Instead, I have to back away or stay still. As for your ability to deflect, I realized that you can only deflect my attack if you see them. I guess I found the reason why I easily slammed your body when I did a surprise attack last time."

"Calix!!!"

Leon screamed. It was frustrating that Calix easily deduced the secret of his power even though he did his best to hide it. This explained why he couldn't deflect the bullet earlier and his shoulder was injured.

"And now!"

Because they were in the cockpit, where the controllers for the Flying Ship were around, Calix aimed his shotgun at the lever and shot it.

"Guah!!"

The Flying Ship tilted and Leon and Marianne lost their balance. Marianne found something to hold on but Leon was unfortunate. He stumbled and rolled to Calix.

"Gotcha!!"

Then, Calix gave him a sucker punch. Then he kicked Leon's stomach and the poor guy coughed blood.

"You see, I don't have to move at all. Because you're the one who's going to get close to me."

"Ugh!"

He grinned and raised his fist again, he broke Leon's nose. He started destroying his face till the poor guy was bloodied to death.

"With my battle suit, I have enough strength to tear your skull."

He was gasping when he was finished beating him. However, his job was still not over. He glanced and found that Marianne was standing, she was holding an open bottle filled with purified water…

"Now that I think about it… I think three days already passed since the last time I had sex."
