Virtual Sword God! 86 Gun Vs Sword

The sound of the Bullet leaving the gun rang out through the room. The girls closed their eyes as they were too afraid to see what had happened to Novis.

"What was he thinking going up against a gun," They thought.

The only people who were able to witness what Novis had done were Tony, Dan and Rob himself.

As soon as Arthur took a step forward, Rob had pulled the trigger, the bullet flew out and almost at the exact same time, Arthur swung the metal pipe but something was strange.

There was no clang sound of metal going against metal as one would expect. Instead, the bullet simply dropped right in front of Arthur.

The bullet then rolled across the ground and moved towards Rob. Rob was unable to comprehend what had just happened. It was the first time something like this had happened to him. He could understand if he had simply missed the shot, even if the bullet had hit the pipe.

But what everyone had witnessed was supernatural. Arthur had swung the pipe just before the bullet had even reached him, causing the bullet to fall mid air.

"I don't know what you did but it won't work again!" Rob shouted as he pulled the trigger multiple times.

Every time Rob pulled the trigger Arthur would swing in response and before the bullets could even reach him, they would fall to the ground. This was because Arthur was using sword energy. Sword energy was almost like an invisible force and it worked that way too. Arthur would swing the pipe to create a wave of sword energy that would stop the bullet in its tracks.

It was simple, the energy created from Arthur's swing was far greater than the energy created from the bullet.

Eventually, Rob pulled the trigger once more and all that could be heard was the sound of clicking.

He had run out of bullets. Rob then looked to his left were Scarlett was in her chair and pulled out the knife he had earlier. Arthur and George could see what Rob was planning.

"Switch!" George shouted.

Instantly Arthur and George had switched places and a second later before Rob could even reach Scarlett, George had leapt across the room and was inches away from Rob's face.

George wasn't going to hold back and decided to hit Rob from the chin up with the pipe, with just enough force so he wouldn't die but might have other serious implications.

As soon as Rob's body hit the floor and was knocked out, George gave control back to Novis.

"Wait there's one more," Novis said looking at Tony who was leaning against the wall.

"Don't worry, I have a feeling he isn't going to do anything to you guys."

Ashley then quickly moved over to Scarlett and helped untie her from the chair. Ashley was surprised that Tony wasn't moving from where he was.

In truth, Tony was replaying in his head what he had just seen Novis do. He couldn't believe that a human being was actually able to stop bullets. It was clear that even if Tony wanted to stop them from leaving, he wouldn't be able to.

"What do we do about these people, should we go to the police?" Ashley asked.

Scarlett was currently trying to unsettle her nerves and take in everything that had just happened to her.

"You guys just go." Tony said, "I will take care of this, just make sure she's okay and tell her I'm sorry."

Ashley didn't care for the man's apology. Clearly, he was a bad person to be even in this type of business in the first place but all she knew was he was letting them leave and so they did.

The four of them were finally outside the abandoned apartment building, Novis was currently holding and helping Dan up while Ashley was doing the same for Scarlett.

"I'm okay now," Scarlett said as she allowed Ashley to let go of her.

"Me too," Dan said.

Clearly, Dan was not okay, he had bruise marks all over, his left eye was swollen and his lip was all busted up but Novis knew he just didn't want him to worry.

"What's the time?" Ashley asked.

Novis pulled out his phone and said.

"12:30."

"We only have 30 minutes until the game starts, we have to hurry," Scarlett replied.

"Are you crazy!" Ashley said, "You should be at home resting after that and Dan should be going to the hospital."

Novis didn't want to quit the match but Knew Ashley was right. Their health right now was more important than a game.

"Do you know why they kidnapped me?" Scarlett asked. "They said they were from the Ruman family, that's Mac's last name."

"You mean he did all this because he didn't want us to play."

Novis had an idea but was hoping that it wasn't true, while Dan actually felt some relief lift from his shoulders. He hadn't put the two together until now. Dan thought the Ruman family had kidnapped Scarlett because it had something to do with him.

Not because of an incident that happened even before he had joined the VSW club. Of course, he had heard Novis had taken down a Bully that apparently had a dad as a big shot gangster but never thought it would be the Ruman family.

"That's why we have to win this game and show them!" Scarlett said.

Back at Montem's school Gym, the Hershal team were now busy waiting for Montem's team. Alex had decided to wait inside the Gym instead now that the time was drawing closer. The Gym was packed full of Montem's students who were all whispering away, asking about the whereabouts of their two team aces Dan and Ashley.

The current time was 12:50.

"It looks like your team isn't going to show up, looks like we won't be experiencing that a.s.s-kicking after all." Burney said

Alex gritted his teeth as he wanted to say something. Burney had been giving off sly remarks this whole time. Just when Alex was about to open his mouth the door Gym slid open.

"Did we make it?" Novis said with the rest of the team stood behind him.

Alex smiled back and said

"You made it."
