Bang!
The huge wave swept past and the entire roof was washed away.
The four people jumped into the water immediately, opening their shields in the meantime.
The wave looked fierce, but it did not hurt them much.
The four people resurfaced.
Fighting in water could really put them at a disadvantage.
Cindy stood on the water again and opened her arms.
A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared beside the four.
They swam with all their might, attempting to escape the force.
However, the whirlpool was too strong. They could not resist the attraction at all.
Just then, they saw a figure floating toward the center of the whirlpool.
It looked like a corpse.
But when it floated past Warrencom, he realized that it was Chen Zhao.
He discovered that Chen Zhao was still conscious.
At least his eyes were open.
Warrencom grabbed Chen Zhao. “Chen… you’re still alive?”
“Yeah? Why would you think I’m dead?”
“Are you injured? Can you not move?”
“No, I’m just saving my energy. So tired… Really want to take a nap.”
“…” Warrencom did not notice any injuries on Chen Zhao’s body.
He was surprised at how lucky this Asian was.
He had actually survived falling onto the roof from such a great height.
Moreover, he was not killed by the huge wave.
“If you don’t wanna die, swim now… You’ll be dead for sure if you’re sucked into the whirlpool.”
Warrencom was exhausted at the moment. It was strenuous to swim by himself, not to mention pulling Chen Zhao.
Suddenly, Warrencom felt his wrist grabbed by Chen Zhao.
Then, he was pulled into the water.
“Aah… let go of me.”
Chen Zhao grabbed Warrencom and swam toward the house.
He was diving underwater instead of swimming on the surface.
Suddenly, however, Cindy blocked his path.
Chen Zhao stopped and stared at her.
Using this opportunity, Warrencom quickly surfaced and panted loudly.
He had almost drowned.
That bastard! He almost killed me.
Suddenly, there was a big splash of water.
Chen Zhao was blasted out of the water and flew a dozen meters away.
He’s dead now, right? Warrencom thought.
The Fallen were really hard to deal with.
Just when he thought that Chen Zhao was dead for certain, Chen Zhao reemerged and tread in the water.
What a tough guy. Even that couldn’t kill him?
Then, the water exploded and Chen Zhao flew into the air again.
Just like this, Chen Zhao would be blown into the air every time, but he would be vigorously treading water in the next moment.
By then, Warrencom was already on the rooftop of a mansion, looking at Chen Zhao in amusement.
Is he made of iron?
Can he not die?
Just then, Hawkinson, Hatcher, and Youna also reached the rooftop.
“What’s with that guy? That Fallen has been attacking just him.”
“Dunno.”
“Are they enemies?”
Chen Zhao was depressed. He could not even fight back in the water.
But Cindy’s attacks were really too weak for him.
Every blast was like a child tapping him.
Chen Zhao resurfaced. “Cindy, how about you cast your ultimate? Do you enjoy making fun of me like this?”
Chen Zhao was very depressed, but Cindy was more depressed.
She also wanted to kill Chen Zhao as soon as possible, but she just could not.
Chen Zhao’s resistance was too high.
Having attacked him for so long, she was tired too.
Although she had turned into a Fallen, her magical power was still limited.
She was stronger than before, but that did not mean she had infinite mana.
Chen Zhao felt uncomfortable. He felt like something was about to explode in him.
It was so close and yet so far.
Just then, Chen Zhao felt his feet sink.
Something had seized his legs and was pulling him down.
Chen Zhao obviously struggled, but the force was pretty big.
Without any support, Chen Zhao could not use most of his strength.
Cindy was controlling the water flow. She had learned from her mistake.
Even if she were to continue attacking, Chen Zhao might not get hurt.
Since she could not kill him directly, she could try drowning him.
“F**k. Did that thing make her more vicious too? Am I going to die in such a silly way?”
Warrencom and the other three looked anxious.
They saw Chen Zhao struggling in the water.
They knew that he was in trouble.
But they did not have the courage to jump into the water again.
Cindy was too dangerous in the water. They could not fight back at all.
Chen Zhao could hold his breath for a long time, but it was still finite.
Soon, his consciousness began to blur.
The four people saw Chen Zhao struggling for over ten minutes. Finally, he lay on the surface, motionless.
He’s finally dead.
Nobody can beat her in such an environment.
Cindy also heaved a long sigh.
She had finally killed this troublesome guy.
Although she had fallen, she still had her memories.
She knew how terrifying Chen Zhao was.
He was far more deadly than the other four.
Even now, there was no way she could beat Chen Zhao in a straight fight.
Hence, she had not given Chen Zhao any chance to be near her.
She had been controlling the water to create trouble for Chen Zhao.
From her feeling in the water, she could sense that Chen Zhao’s body had already ceased functioning.
His heart and blood flow had all stopped.
She had spent most of her magical power to kill Chen Zhao with water.
It was not hard to imagine how quickly she would die if Chen Zhao had a chance to counterattack.
Now, she could finally deal with the four weaklings in peace.
Warrencom, Hawkinson, Hatcher, and Youna looked even more troubled.
Suddenly, the rain stopped.
The four were first stunned. The rain stopped?
No, the rain did not stop.
Like the scene in Now You See Me 2, all the raindrops were floating in the air.
The four people’s expressions changed drastically. Warrencom shouted, “Shield!”
The four opened their shields at the same time. The next instant, all the raindrops shot toward them.
The roof they were on practically became a sieve. There were alarming holes all over the place.
The four were still holding on, protected by their shields.
However, their shields would not last forever.
In addition, the roof would be destroyed very soon. They would be in the water again.
Once that happened, they would be in a greater predicament.
Suddenly, the limbs of Chen Zhao, who had been lying on water, moved slightly.
