However, his confident expression suddenly crumbled when he flashed a light over his body, and his eyes dilated in shock!
Because the moment, the 'corpse' was holding a sniper rifle with a long barrier, which looked more like a slender cannon barrel, and it was pointing at the submarine, and he was just done loading the magazine filled with glowing bullets.
Before Killer 5 could react after snapping out of his initial shock, Jacob had already pulled the trigger and shot the first atomic bullet from the Iron Titan Sniper Rifle!
The distance between the sub and the rifle barrel was around three to four meters, and the atomic bullet landed directly at the pointy head of the shark-like Killer Submarine.
"Booomm!"
A massive explosion happens underwater, and it creates powerful water waves which send Jacob flying like a broken kite. He was barely able to stow away the rifle and take as less damage as possible, and it was all because he was still in the depth of the ocean.
Nevertheless, that atomic bullet was something at the level of an Advanced Epic Magic Bullet or even more powerful. After firing it from that distance, Jacob felt all the organs in his body jumbled up even more badly.
After vomiting a huge mouth full of blood, Jacob was now completely out of breath, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so without carrying about anything, he used the bronze disc. He started to pierce toward the surface while barely holding on to his stubborn will to live!
On the other hand, the crew also heard the massive explosion as they could clearly feel the shock waves pushing their subs behind.
The formation also seemed to be broken of this, and they all lost sight of Jacob.
However, they were more concerned about their comrade, Killer-5, because when the explosion happened, they lost the signal of his sub.
"Killer 5, what is your current status? What happened just now? Answer me, damn it!" Alpha Killer had a very ugly expression as he never expected this sort of situation to arise.
Furthermore, by that explosion's aftermath, he could tell it was not just any random explosion but a terrifying one created with technology on par with Killer Submarines.
Now he no longer dared to underestimate the enemy they were hunting, and it was even more clear that it was not just any random sea beast either but an intelligent being like them.
"I-I'm fine. Just slightly dizzy, and my body aches all over…" Killer-5's grunted in a hoarse voice at this moment, and the connection was reestablished again, which made Alpha Killer sigh in relief.
"What just happened?" He coldly questioned with a hint of killing intent.
"I was shot at by a powerful bullet, and it has to be an Advanced Epic Grade, and so was the gun. Because it left a crack in my sub, and if I was shot again in the same spot, I'm afraid I'll be nothing but a roasted lump of meat!" Killer-5 stated with a hint of fear.
"Not only that rat managed to escape alive after taking the full volley of my machine guns, but he even played dead and waited for me to come closer before using that trump card.
"However, I don't think he's in that good shape either, especially after taking that sort of explosion without any cover from that closer, not to mention he should be at least wounded by my previous attack, or he would've stayed to finish me off.
"I think he had taken advantage of the explosion and fled. We need to finish him off. Moreover, I think this is the target we've been searching for all this time!"
Alpha Killer's eyes were deadly cold as he nodded faintly before he stated in a grave voice, "Sent the Red Goal Signal back to the main ship. Let's show this prick it's not easy to run away after wounding a barbarian!"
Jacob had no idea what was coming as right now, what he wanted was a breath of air, and he was still over a mile away from reaching the surface.
Nevertheless, his bloodshot eyes were completely opened as he was moving upward while leaving a faint crimson in the clear water.
Jacob knew he needed to treat himself and to do it, he needed to remain conscious when he reached the surface, or it will all be over for him. He was also sure that those guys would be coming after him with their full force now.
If he had known that Killer-5 escaped alive after he used the atomic bullet, he would've been even more agitated to escape the ocean quickly.
On the surface, Wilder, followed by Mayson, entered the main ship control room after he received the news about the potential target's appearance in the depth of the ocean, and he even managed to escape the killer subs while almost destroying one in the process.
The operators all looked at Wilder with cold eyes like hungry wolves who were ready to go on a hunt. They were all aimlessly wandering in this place for almost two years now.
Now that their potential target has appeared, this means as long as they can put him down, they can return to the comfort of their families and also earn a huge lump sum in the process.
Wilder solemnly looks at his people, who have been following him for years now, and they are all loyal to him. He coldly declared, "I know you all have already heard what happened down there, so I don't need to tell you just what kind of person we're dealing with.
"But I also know no one here is afraid of the danger, but you all are all worried about our wounded comrade's safety and wellbeing and want to make his assailant pay the bloody price.
"No one had ever managed to escape after assaulting a Bronze Barbarian League Member, and I'm planning to keep it that way. Because now it's not just a mission, but it's personal! Let's start this manhunt without ado and blast this son of bitch into a million pieces!"
