Chapter 49: Chapter 48: First New York Battle: Da Da Da Da!
On the rooftop, Cohen leapt down.
His dagger scraped against the wall, sending sparks flying as his silhouette moved with grace and flair.
Crossing the street, he arrived at the square in front of the building, dual pistols in hand, bullets spraying.
Though it wasn't enough to kill all the ninjas, it slowed down their assault.
Behind him, a black van drifted elegantly, coming to a stop under cover of heavy fire.
The side door opened, and a black six-barreled Gatling gun was revealed.
"Sir, the M134 is ready!"
Cohen jumped back into the van. As he rotated the gun, it emitted mechanical grinding sounds.
Watching the red-clad ninjas charging toward him, a slight smile appeared on his face.
According to the system's analysis, these guys were all bronze-level prey.
This time, his harvest would likely surpass even that of the vampire blood feast!
With a thought, his multi-eye ability activated instantly.
Da da da da!
The six black barrels fired blazing bullets!
In an instant, it was like a storm hit the square.
Dust filled the air, rubble flew everywhere, and ghostly wails echoed!
The shadow ninjas, fearless of death, continued to charge out of the building's lobby, but a fiery snake of bullets held them at bay!
---
Meanwhile, in the underground parking garage of the financial building...
A complex altar flickered with light.
With each flicker, more red-clad ninjas emerged, their faces expressionless as they skillfully marched toward the stairwell, forming a long army.
Below the altar, on the second underground level, a group of priests, wearing red demon masks and dressed in crimson robes, surrounded Daredevil, chanting softly.
Kingpin, along with the Hand's leaders, stood nearby.
Kingpin, in his usual white suit, held a cane.
Frowning, his gaze repeatedly swept over two familiar figures: Murakami and Sowanda!
These two had been killed by the Demon Face!
He had inquired through his mole in the police department about the scene that day. The officers who cleaned up had said their lower halves had been completely obliterated!
Yet here they were, alive again!
At that moment, a man in a blue suit rushed in, panicked: "Boss, something's wrong, the shadow ninjas are being suppressed!"
"That Iron Man is too fierce, his gun has them pinned down, they can't even leave the building!"
Madame Gao was puzzled: "A single gun? How is that possible?"
The blue-suited man corrected himself, "He's using... a Gatling gun!"
Everyone was momentarily stunned.
"I've never seen such an accurate gunner before. His hit rate is at least 30%. It's unbelievable!"
The ninjas' revival speed was increasing, and the altar wouldn't be able to hold out much longer!
The Hand's leader, Alexandra, fell silent for a moment before turning to a man in the corner.
He was shirtless, with a massive black wolf spider tattoo on his chest.
"Ramuelto, Black Wolf Spider, I brought you from far away. It's time for you to enter the scene."
The man nodded silently and headed out.
Alexandra seemed confident in his abilities and turned back to watch the ritual.
Before them, the summoning ceremony was nearing completion.
"...To the one who waits in the darkness, the one who hungers to end mankind with their own hands, the god of shadows... descend!"
One of the priests suddenly removed his red demon mask, revealing an elderly face with white hair. Black mist swirled in his hands: "Soul Dark Sorcery!"
"We offer this perfect vessel to you, the supreme ruler! The age of humanity ends here; none will be spared beyond the serpent root!"
Suddenly, an indescribable power descended.
Daredevil, surrounded by the red-clad priests, let out a harrowing scream, his body twisting as if something was burrowing into him.
Seeing this disturbing scene, Kingpin felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
Could the Hand truly summon demonic power?
What were they planning?
While he pondered, the leaders of the Hand exchanged subtle glances, excitement flashing in their eyes.

Back in the square, the M134 was unleashing fiery bullets, and the ninjas, enraged like honey badgers, stubbornly charged at Cohen.
In his mind, the system's prompts kept ringing.
Ding ding ding ding...
It was like the perfect symphony.
Even while firing, Cohen found time to open all the reward packs.
A flood of information poured into his mind.
[Congratulations! You've received 4 points of free attribute value.]
[Congratulations! You've gained proficiency in Aircraft Carrier Navigation.]
Now he had another reason to kill Nick Fury!
---
[Congratulations on triggering the First 30-Kill Reward: 30 points of free attribute value.]
Damn, it's tough to get these kill streak rewards!
[Congratulations! You've received 5 points of free attribute value.]
[Congratulations on triggering the First 50-Kill Reward: 50 points of free attribute value.]
Hitting the jackpot again!
---
After opening all the bronze-level and kill-streak reward packs, Cohen had gained three skills and over a hundred attribute points!
Proficiency in Aircraft Carrier Navigation, CAD mastery, LOL(League of Legends) expertise, and 108 points of free attribute value!
He was rich!
Just as he was celebrating, he noticed an odd figure among the charging ninjas.
The system alerted him: Gold-level prey!
The man was shirtless, with a black wolf spider tattoo on his chest. His speed was extraordinary, far beyond human limits.
Unlike the other ninjas who charged blindly, he weaved through them, using them as cover to dodge left and right.
As he exited the building, he didn't even glance at Cohen but dashed toward the defensive line on the side.
Seeing this, Cohen adjusted his gun, and the fiery bullets licked at the Black Wolf Spider's heels.
But the man was incredibly agile and powerful, smashing a stone planter with a single punch and hurling a several-hundred-kilogram stone towards Cohen with one hand!
Crrack!
Cohen quickly adjusted his gun, like an anti-aircraft cannon, tracking the stone and shattering it into rubble before it could hit the van.
In the brief distraction, the Black Wolf Spider had reached the first defensive line.
Soon, screams erupted from there.
Nick Fury's voice rang through the comms, shouting, "Damn it, what is that monster? Someone stop him!"
Cohen saw a blur pass by, likely an arrow from Hawkeye, which seemed to hit him, but the Black Wolf Spider didn't stop.
Cohen's expression shifted. He was sure he had hit the man with several bullets earlier.
But they hadn't caused any harm.
These were 7.62mm rounds!
(T/L- In case you are wondering that 7.62 mm is not a powerful round then I'd like to remind you that Hitler's Buzzsaw the MG-42 also used 7.62mm bullets .originally it was designed for 7.92mm bullets)
And the man had thrown a stone weighing several hundred kilograms while running at full speed. His strength was terrifying!
Cohen kept trying to lock onto him, but trees, planters, and cars obstructed his shooting angles.
In that short time, several police cars were flung into the air, landing precisely on some of the firepower points along the first defensive line.
Upon impact, violent explosions occurred.
Screams filled the air. Within a few breaths, the entire first line had collapsed.
Those modified police cars weighed nearly three tons, and he had thrown them into the air with pinpoint accuracy. The Black Wolf Spider's strength had to be over five tons!
Damn, are gold-level guys really this strong?
Black Widow was also gold-level. It seemed her status as SHIELD's top agent gave her significant advantages!
At that moment, Cohen noticed that despite all the chaos, the man's ultimate target appeared to be him.
Blade, Hawkeye, and Black Widow tried to stop him, but he kept getting closer!
Damn it!
Cohen immediately connected to the system and added all 108 points of free attribute value to strength!
Instantly, his strength reached 169!
With the explosive boost from Dragon's Breath, his strength could momentarily exceed five tons!
But that still wasn't enough!
Glancing at the system:
Iron-tier prey: 3/37 Bronze-tier prey: 12/49 Silver-tier prey: 1/5 Gold-tier prey: 0/1
Cohen looked at the number of kill and so, he turned his gun again, not aiming at the approaching Black Wolf Spider, but focusing once more on the shadow ninjas!
Da da da da!
Cohen's peripheral vision caught the Black Wolf Spider leaping toward him, but his expression didn't change.
The system chimed as expected.
[Ding! Congratulations on achieving the Thousand Kills achievement: Special Achievement Pack.]
