Chapitre 17: The Wrath of the Invisible Bullets
Chapter 17: The Wrath of the Invisible Bullets
The moon hung high in the night sky, casting pale beams through the dense canopy of the forest.
Shadows danced between the towering trees as Adam adjusted his position.
His stealth spell kept him completely invisible, and his strength-enhancing spell coursed through his body, ready to strike at a moment's notice.
He took a deep breath, the crisp night air cooling his lungs, as he prepared for the chaos that was to follow.
Ahead of him, the remaining bandits were in complete disarray.
Panic gripped their minds as they looked around frantically, their weapons clutched tightly in their trembling hands.
Their leader, a tall man with a weathered face, crouched beside their injured comrade, inspecting the wound caused by Adam's earlier Air Bullet.

Adam crouched behind a nearby tree, observing the chaos he had created.
The bandits were visibly shaken, their movements uncoordinated and erratic. "Good," Adam thought, a cold determination in his eyes.
Before making his next move, Adam whispered, "Check my mana points."
The familiar blue digits appeared before him: 880/1008.
"So, each Air Bullet costs 10 mana points," he noted with satisfaction. "That's efficient enough to get the job done."
A small smile spread across his lips as he realized his reserves were more than sufficient for the battle ahead. Still, he knew he had to be strategic. He could not afford to waste even a single shot.
Adam stepped out from behind the tree, moving closer to the group. His invisibility allowed him to approach undetected, but he maintained a safe distance.
His sharp eyes locked onto the bandits gathered around their injured comrade. Raising both hands, he whispered, "Mark targets."
Adam's eyes glow red and then an invisible wave comes out from Adam which hits all the people and creates a change.
Immediately, faint red marks appeared over the heads of three bandits. The marks glowed softly, guiding Adam's focus like a hunter lining up his prey.
"Perfect," he thought, taking careful aim.
"Air Bullet."
The word left his lips, and an invisible force shot forward, cutting through the air with deadly precision.
The bandits didn't even have time to react as the bullets pierced their skulls, leaving clean, circular holes. The three men crumpled to the ground, lifeless.
The remaining bandits froze in place, their faces pale with fear. They had never encountered such a weapon—silent, invisible, and deadly.
The leader rushed to the fallen men, his expression a mix of horror and confusion as he examined their wounds.
"What kind of sorcery is this?" he muttered under his breath.
Their leader has never seen such a spell before and that is why he is very surprised.
Adam, still cloaked in invisibility, smirked at their confusion. Raising his hands again, he fired a second volley of Air Bullets.
This time, five bullets shot forward, each one finding its target with unerring accuracy.
The spearmen nearest to the leader dropped one by one, their bodies hitting the ground with dull thuds.
The sound of their deaths was accompanied by the faint whistling of the Air Bullets tearing through the air—a sound that sent chills down the spines of the remaining bandits.
By now, the bandits were in complete disarray. Some clung to their weapons, their knuckles white with tension, while others began to back away, their instincts urging them to flee.
The leader barked orders, trying to restore order. "Stand your ground! And look carefully at everything around you"
But Adam wasn't done.
"Air Bullet, Air Bullet, Air Bullet."
This time, twelve bullets erupted from Adam's hands, striking the archers at the back of the group. Each one fell where they stood, their bodies collapsing into lifeless heaps.
The leader's eyes darted around wildly, his composure cracking as he realized the scope of the attack. His voice trembled as he shouted, "Retreat! Fall back!"
The bandits scattered, their fear driving them in all directions. Adam frowned as he watched them split up. "If they escape, they'll regroup. I can't let that happen."
His eyes narrowed, focusing on the group heading toward the village. "They're the biggest threat right now," he thought, immediately giving chase.
"Survey."
The detection spell activated, sending out a wave of white light that revealed the positions of the fleeing bandits. Adam could see their glowing outlines even through the dense forest. They were over 100 meters away, moving quickly.
Raising his hands to the sky, Adam whispered, "Air Bullet."
The bullets shot upward, disappearing into the night sky. Guided by the red markers from Adam's earlier targeting spell, they arced gracefully before descending upon their targets like guided missiles.
One by one, the bandits fell. Even as they zigzagged through the forest, the bullets found their marks, striking them with unerring precision. Adam watched through his detection spell, satisfied as the glowing outlines disappeared from his vision.
"That's the end of them," he muttered, turning his attention back to the remaining bandits in the forest.
Only eight bandits were left now, including their leader. Adam activated his stealth and invisibility spells again, his body vanishing completely. Moving swiftly through the forest, he closed the distance between himself and his targets.
"Survey."
The detection spell revealed the bandits' positions once more. They were clustered together, moving deeper into the forest in a desperate attempt to escape. Adam raised his hand, his voice steady as he whispered, "Air Bullet."
Seven bullets shot forward in rapid succession. The bandits didn't stand a chance. One by one, they fell, leaving the leader alone.
The leader stumbled forward, his breath ragged as he glanced over his shoulder. The sight of his fallen men only fueled his terror. His mind raced, searching for a way out, but the forest seemed to close in around him.
Adam stepped closer, his movements silent as a predator stalking its prey. He raised his hand, ready to deliver the final blow.
"Air Bullet."
The chapter ends here, leaving readers in suspense about the leader's fate.
