Alex reached where she was but the Hitman had found his second revolver and immediately fired a bullet towards Alex to end his life.

[+15HP]

*Bam*

[-50HP]

Luckily for Alex, Rebecca used her healing cane to touch him before the Hitman shot him, Alex fell to the ground and Rebecca dragged him behind the tree before the Hitman could shoot another bullet.

*Bam*

The Hitman shot another bullet but missed, by then his revolver need 10 seconds to cooldown before he could reload but his first revolver was already ready to be reloaded.

The Hitman hid behind a tree and brought out the bullets from his inventory and reloaded his gun, he knew Alex survived because of Rebecca but his HP was low and one shot was enough.

Alex was down to 5HP after he was shot, Rebecca healing cane also had a cooldown of 10 seconds before she could heal Alex again so she was waiting.

If a player is injured, they would need to wait for ten minutes without receiving any damage before their HP would be restored but a healer can heal them before that time.

‘Shit…I only have 5HP left, and Rebecca can’t fight against the Hitman’ Alex didn’t know what the situation was with Gabriel and the marksman so he had no one to help him.

[+20HP]

Rebecca touched Alex again as her cooldown completed and Alex’s HP was now 25, and the Hitman had reloaded both of his revolvers meaning he had four bullets, one for Alex and two for Rebecca.

The Hitman was at level 9 and Alex had dealt damage of [65HP] meaning his HP was down to 25, he also had to be careful, one stab from Alex would also be the end of his life.

‘I haven’t heard any sounds meaning Gary is likely dead, but at least he took one of them with him, I’ll just kill that assassin guy and make the healer heal me then I’ll kill her but I have to be careful’ the Hitman mumbled as he took a deep breath.

“What do we do, if that guy kills us then all those flowers would be gone right?” Rebecca asked.

“If he kills us half of the items in our inventory would be transferred to him and the others would be gone, wait…I have a level boost in my inventory” Alex remembered what Huntress gave him.

Alex held a small bottle filled with a red liquid, he quickly opened the bottle and drank all of the liquid, immediately a burning pain spread through his body but it vanished after a second and the interface appeared.

‘This is it, my HP is now 190 and he has just four bullets, if I can dodge one of his bullets, it’s all over’ Alex muttered under his breath.

“Now…” the Hitman moved away from the tree and pointed both of his guns toward where they were hiding as he approached.

Alex held his dagger and also jumped out of the tree, immediately the Hitman fired Alex straight at his stomach and it hit him spot on.

The Hitman was afraid of missing so he didn’t go for Alex’s head and he was sure Alex would die from one shot, so he didn’t bother to go for his head.

“Rebecca now…” Alex shouted and Rebecca came out from the tree and touched Alex with her healing cane.

[+15HP]

Alex dashed towards the Hitman immediately, the Hitman was shocked that Alex was still alive but he had no choice but to fire.

*Bam! Bam! Bam*

The Hitman fired all three of his remaining bullets but Alex was still running towards him, each shot slowed Alex down but it didn’t stop him.

“How are you alive…” the Hitman shouted and put his guns back into his holster and held his hands up.

Alex stopped just a few steps away from him and held his dagger backward and attempted to throw it, the Hitman immediately reacted by bending downward as Alex predicted.

Alex dashed towards him and struck him with the dagger and the remaining of his HP was immediately depleted.

[-35HP]

The Hitman couldn’t move as his body immediately began to disintegrate and turn into pixels before fading away.

[You killed player ShotGun2!]

[You have earned 90XP!]

[You received 1000 blue coins!]

[You have received Healing cane – Common]

Alex slumped to the ground immediately after he received the notification, his body was beyond exhausted as he lay there, even though it was just a game the feeling of getting shot multiple times was still frightening to Alex.

He felt the pain before it vanished and it made him imagine how military men were able to endure such pain, but it was now over.

Rebecca rushed towards him and touched his body again and 20HP was added, Alex needed to rest at least ten minutes so his HP would be replenished.

“Are you guys okay?” Gabriel asked as he reached where Alex and Rebecca were.

“Max, are you okay?” Gabriel shouted.

“Yes,” Max’s voice came from behind.

“I killed the marksman and Alex killed the other one, which class did that gun belongs to?” Gabriel asked.

“Another shooter class, maybe a Hitman or a hunter,” Alex said and opened his inventory.

“Here Rebecca” Alex handed Rebecca the healing cane he received.

“How did you get this?” Max asked.

“I got it from the player I just killed, I think they hide in trees and ambush players from above, this probably belongs to a healer they killed” Alex spoke.

“At least we survived, woah!! Alex what happened to your level, you were at level 12 now you are at 17?” Max asked in shock.

“I used a potion, a level boost I got from someone,” Alex said.

“Level boost! who did you get it from?” Max asked.

“How many level did it increase?” Gabriel asked.

“I got it from Huntress the top 5 player, and it added 5 levels to my current level, it’s Epic quality” Alex replied.

“Top 5 player! when did you meet her? why did she give you something as valuable as that?” Max asked, he was still surprised.

“She was the one that saved me when that large goblin chased me in the forest. She had a quest and she needed me, I almost died in case you didn’t know” Alex said.

“So she just gave you instead of using it herself?” Gabriel asked.

“It only works for players below level 20 so she didn’t have any use for it” Alex said.

“I remember you told us that she gave you coins, so she just gave you different items for free, what quest did you help her complete?” Max asked.

“Why are you guys questioning me, it’s none of your business” Alex spoke.

“Ohh, so both of you had something going on, no wonder you didn’t tell us about her” Gabriel chuckled.

“I didn’t kill anyone, you guys used me as bait so next time, either of you would be bait and we should probably get Rebecca a weapon” Max said.

“I don’t know how to use weapons and I’m not sure I can fight someone” Rebecca said meekly.

“She’s a healer, even if we give her a weapon, she won’t be able to deal much damage with it” Gabriel said.

“Maybe we should just get her throwing knives, none of the class uses throwing knives so it would deal damage moderately, and you can learn to throw knives right?” Alex asked Rebecca.

“That would be better than fighting someone like you guys just did, and Alex you were shot right? how did it feel?” she asked.

“It only stings for a second then it’s gone, only your HP would be reduced” Alex told her.

“That marksman bullet was more painful, I couldn’t breath after I was shot, if not for my defense I would have died”

“That was why I chose you for the bait” Alex chuckled.
