The Soul-binding Stone Tomb detected the approaching Imperial Squad.

It summoned over thirty Bound Spirits from the sky to launch an attack on the squad.

Biochemical Bait was effective on spirit-like Undead Creatures as well, so the three Sin Soldiers became the primary targets of the Bound Spirits.

Noland Lee looked up at the sky, the scarlet eyes of the Bound Spirits glowing with bloodlust.

Noland took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm.

He held a Rune Staff in his right hand, while his left hand quietly formed a gesture.

A few Bound Spirits flying toward him no longer focused their scarlet eyes on him but stared at the two Sin Soldiers beside him instead.

Seeing this, Noland felt reassured.

As expected, the Stone Tomb Bound Spirits also fell for this tactic, attacking only non-Undead Cult creatures and not targeting living followers who submit to the Undead Cult as their primary targets.

At the moment, the gesture Noland formed with his left hand was an Undead Rune recorded in The Grudge Teachings.

Using fingers to draw Undead Runes was too slow and had significant movements, making it easy to get caught. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

So, he came up with this method of simulating Undead Runes using hand gestures—some individual Undead Runes had a relatively simple structure, and could be simulated using five fingers.

Testing it on the spot, it really worked, and Noland couldn’t help feeling secretly delighted.

The thirty or so Stone Tomb Bound Spirits in the sky began their dive attack.

More than half of them were targeting the other two Sin Soldiers, leaving only five focusing on Noland.

Noland and the other two Sin Soldiers were standing very close to each other, so he wasn’t worried that others would notice anything suspicious through the flight trajectories of the Stone Tomb Bound Spirits.

He followed Corporal Mars’ prior instructions, crouching with the Rune Staff and using the electric net emitted by the sergeants to avoid the Stone Tomb Bound Spirits.

Electric sparks were everyvvhere, Bound Spirits were howling, and the squad’s speed dropped drastically, barely advancing at a snail’s pace amid the diving attacks.

A sneaky figure took advantage of the sergeants’ focus on the battle to leave the team without permission.

He had barely stepped out of the formation when he was noticed by Corporal Mars.

“Sin Soldier No. 039! Return to the team immediately, or I will shoot you on the spot! ”

Corporal Mars’ roar didn’t make the Sin Soldier stop.

Noland heard Mars’ voice and looked in the direction he was pointing.

The disobedient Sin Soldier 039 was the one who had been silent all this time.

He saw the Sin Soldier skillfully dodging the Stone Tomb Bound Spirits attacking him, rolling on the spot to cover a distance of about two meters and then using his feet to steady himself, rushing toward the Stone Tomb without looking back.

Such a smooth set of evasive maneuvers was impressive, as if Sin Soldier 039 was a natural.

Noland raised his eyebrows in surprise, secretly cursing the unexpected skill of Sin Soldier 039.

He quickly cast Deconstruction at the retreating figure of Sin Soldier 039. [System Message: You are about to use Deconstruction on “Sin Soldier No. 039.”]

[Estimated consumption of 200 Energy Points will raise the degree of deconstruction to 100%.]

[You currently have o energy points and cannot perform deconstruction.] 200 Energy Points to achieve 100% deconstruction!

…So Sin Soldier 039 was a hidden expert after all, no wonder he didn’t say a word…

It seemed like he would need to form the habit of throwing Deconstruction spells at everyone he meets in the future.

Speaking of which, why is he running towards the Stone Tomb?

What is his purpose?

As Noland secretly worried, Corporal Mars stopped hesitating and directly punished Sin Soldier 039.

However, Mars didn’t opt to draw his gun and shoot, but took out the remote control to activate the Electric Shock Collar.

After aiming the remote at Sin Soldier 039 and pressing the button, Corporal Mars was surprised to find that the collar didn’t work as expected, and no electric sparks appeared.

At that moment, Sin Soldier 039 leaped forward just in time to avoid the dive of two Stone Tomb Bound Spirits.

Upon standing up, he turned to face Mars with a mocking smile.

He raised his left hand, fiddled behind his neck for a moment, and the Electric Shock Collar clicked and snapped open, slipping off his neck.

The electric shock collar not only failed, but was also removed in front of him by Sin Soldier 039. This action undoubtedly trampled on Corporal Mars’ bottom line.

Corporal Mars quickly drew his gun from his waist and aimed at Sin Soldier 039.

A dark shadow flew over with a “swoosh” and accurately hit Mars’ hand, Imocking the gun away.

However, Sin Soldier 039 caught the falling electric shock collar, flicked his wrist, and shot it as a hidden weapon, hitting Corporal Mars’ right hand.

“Such a superb throwing skill… Damn it! I Imow who you are now!” As he watched Sin Soldier 039 run away, Corporal Mars angrily ordered:

“Hansen, Zina, shoot quickly and stop Sin Soldier 039. Don’t let him reach the Stone Tomb!”

Hansen and Zina were the deputy captains of the squad.

Upon hearing Mars’ order, they immediately took out their short-barreled rifles and fired.

Mars tried to retrieve the gun lying on the floor a few meters away, but was forced back by the approaching Soul-binding Spirits.

The sound of gunfire rose, announcing an unexpected turn for the demolition team.

This noise traveled hundreds of meters to Sergeant Major Alvin Stafford’s team.

The soldiers, who were struggling against the Stone Tomb Bound Spirits, were attracted by the sudden gunfire and all saw the Sin Soldier running towards the Stone Tomb.

Before Sergeant Major Alvin Stafford could loudly inquire about the situation,

“Chief Officer! Sin Soldier 039 is a spy from the Death Herald Guild! That bastard disguised himself as a Sin Soldier and infiltrated our team!”

Noland Lee looked in Sergeant Major Alvin Stafford’s direction.

This brave army commander suddenly became serious, and the clouds on his face were even thicker than before when he faced the morale on the verge of collapse.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang!”

The gunfire continued, but none of the bullets fired by the demolition team could catch the agile Sin Soldier 039.

—It wasn’t that the sergeants’ shooting was inaccurate, but that Sin Soldier 039 seemed to have eyes on his back, always evading the bullets behind him. Sergeant Major Alvin Stafford realized that something was seriously wrong.

He clenched his teeth and made a decision:

“Corporal Mars, I order you to immediately lead your team to catch the spy. This is our top priority order! We’ll settle the score with Division Intelligence Unit Two later!”

“Yes, Chief Officer!”

Corporal Mars turned his head, gave Noland Lee a cautious look, and then shouted with a wave of his arm:

“Charge, charge! Stop the Death Herald Guild’s spy!”

The sergeants couldn’t bother escorting Sin Soldiers any longer.

They used the lightning net to drive back the Stone Tomb Bound Spirits, sprinted wildly, and chased after Sin Soldier 039.

Noland Lee wanted to catch up with the sergeants but was held back by a hand gripping his shoulder like an iron hoop.

Noland Lee frowned.

He could feel unabashed malice coming from the power in his shoulder. “Hehehe… You little bastard… Your retribution has come.”

The Scarred Sin Soldier forced Noland Lee to stand still, let go of his Rune Staff, and clenched his fist, making a “crunch” sound.

His face looked fierce, he was sneering continuously, and his eyes were filled with cruelty:

“Do you think that having a good relationship with that sergeant will protect you? … Let me show you the truth of this world now.”

The Scarred Sin Soldier lifted his sandbag-sized fist:

“In this world, only fists are the truth! What the fuck do you think you are, daring to command me?!”

Noland Lee tried to pull his shoulders out of his opponent’s grip.

But the body he acquired after crossing over was just too weak…

No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t move his opponent’s hand from his shoulder.

Noland Lee steeled his heart, raised the Rune Staff with his right hand, and swung at the Scarred Sin Soldier, but his staff was easily knocked away by a punch, leaving his hand numb.

The gap in physical strength had become an insurmountable chasm between him and the Scarred Sin Soldier..
