Attack!!!

As Richard rested, he was thinking of the ability he just gained. About the uses, given that he can only use it for one-dimensionally he couldn't think of any more uses.

Thinking for a while and remembering that the assassin would likely be coming again after getting information about him not being dead, he assumed that the previous richard died from poison.

So he decided to use the skill point given by the system. Thinking about it he used the two of the 100 at first.

He did it as soon as he thought of it, and as expected, the experience value in the small box behind the 'Barrier Fruit' became (0/4), increased its level by one, and the skill points he had also changed from the previous 100 to 98 reduced by two.

After doing it his system status changed,

[Host: Richard Fisk

Permission: *

Ability:

Fist fighting Lv.4 (10/16)

Proficient in firearms Lv.2 (3/4)

Parkour Lv.5 (20/32)

Barrier Fruit Lv.2 (0/4)

Skill Point: 98 Points]

…

'it can be upgraded' he was relieved but he could not help but lament seeing the point wasted on level one because according to the system, you can upgrade your level by training, but given the situation, it couldn't be helped.

As the level increased he intuitively knew that he now would not need to raise his hand.

Opening his eyes he summoned the barrier, the similar translucent about half a meter diameter circular appeared in front of him.

'Cool' Richard's eyes sparkled seeing that he would need to raise his hand now.

Soon, he did the same operation and used 4 skill points, the 'Barrier Fruit' was upgraded again, from Lv.2 to Lv.3. The area of ​​the barrier he could create doubled reaching about 1 meter diameter, and 94 skill points remained.

To upgrade the 'Barrier Fruit' from Lv.3 to Lv.4, he needed 8 skill points and upgraded it again and again doubling the area of the barrier he could summon.

Seeing that he used all the remaining points on upgrading the barrier fruit to the limit by not wasting skill points right now as it could be useful later. So 38 skill points remained.

At the moment, his status became:

[Host: Richard Fisk

Permission: *

Ability:

Fist Fighting Lv.4 (10/16)

Proficient in firearms Lv.2 (3/4)

Parkour Lv.5 (20/32)

Barrier Fruit Lv.6 (0/64)

Skill point: 38 points]

…

Fist Fighting, Proficient in firearms, and Parkour were all Richard's special skills in his Jack Li Life.

Precisely because of these skills he was able to become a small-time gang leader in Chinatown, in America. He has beaten a lot of people with fist fighting and ran a lot from stronger opponents and police so he has more experience in parkour than fist fighting

In his previous life on Earth, his fighting power was basically at the top level in the street but he didn't go out of Chinatown that's why some big timer left him alone.

It was not because he was weaker than those from the outside of the town, he had even killed before with a gun given the proficiency, it's just he doesn't use it often but he wouldn't hesitate to kill. He just was not able to expand because he had no money and he had no connection to the legal or the illegal world.

With his Level 4 Fist Fighting and Level 5 parkour, he could even win against some stronger opponents, but due to his dislike for drugs and other addictive substances, he was not able to collect more money. His mother in his previous life died due to an overdose of drugs.

Anyway, getting rid of those thoughts, he once again summoned the barrier but this time he wanted it to be rectangular shaped, when barrier fruit upgraded from level 4 to 5 he suddenly felt a rush feeling as if being liberated so he wanted to test if his hypothesis was correct.

As he wished the barrier this time to appear in the form rectangular, he smiled seeing that and decided to change the shape to different sizes and shapes from A to Z and different things.

While practicing for a while and checking the status if he missed anything he noticed something peculiar, and asked the system 'System Are there any differences in ability levels, and why the skills points are needed to upgrade the same?'

 [It is because the system starting point of everything is equal even if the host got God's power he would be able to upgrade it similarly, but the ending point is related to the level assigned by the system, the system determines the level to which it can be upgraded, if host worked hard in particular power he should be able to upgrade the level of that particular skill or he can do it in other way, Host previous life skills were all Iron level skill so they could only be upgraded to level 10, similarly bronze to level 15, and so on]. System promptly replied

Richard was stunned because he felt so many emotions in 5 seconds while reading, as he continued to read and arrived at last and at the end he mentally shouted 'ABSURD!!!!!'

Just as he was about to shout out loud,

"PSSH… Prote-" a voice came out of small comms which was in the ear of Tiffany, simultaneously,

"BOOM!!!!"

"SCREEEHHHH" The vehicle they were riding suddenly turned and its tires screeched loudly against the road,

Tiffany was able to act quickly and use her two arms to hug Richard so wouldn't fly away from her because he was not wearing a seatbelt.

"BOOMM" While both of them were still disoriented, a sudden impact was sent right side of the car spreading cracks all over the glass of the car, they were flung toward the left of the car,

After sliding for a while the car came to a halt, for a while they were still very disoriented, the sound of gunshots firing, and men screaming in pain filled the streets,

Tiffany was able to recover quickly along with Richard,

"This is T, report status, report status" Tiffany after seeing his okay calmly ordered, while looking for any opening for retreat,

"This is L, DUDUDU!! Squad 4 and 5 are down, We are engaging with multiple sides,….DUDUDUDU!!!, boom!!! , captain requests for backup, we are near the east of Hell's kitchen…." A report came from the earpiece.

"Ok," Tiffany replied and took out a modern-looking HT, pressed something, and pulled it near her mouth,

"Code black, I repeat code black, near east of hell kitchen" Tiffany spoke into the HT.

After that, she turned toward him, and with the look of a professional bodyguard she said, "Sir, it is likely that we have a traitor in our ranks, only insider knew about this route sir was taking".

Hearing the word traitor, richard face turns cold, having just experienced betrayal to have again witness a betrayal seems too much for even him,

Tiffany slowly started to worry as sweat started to appear on her forehead, looking outside the window which was still receiving bullets, and saw men falling, determined expressions donning she turned toward richard saying,

"Sir, they have come prepared, we are losing ground, and we need an opening while others will cover for our retreat".

Richard hearing that was feeling revolted because if he did that then he would be no different than the one who betrayed him, but he also understood that his safety was a priority for them, and seeing panic slowly settling on Tiffany's face, he didn't reply but looked around the area, he immediately spotted an alley with a dead end and turn around and says to tiffany,

"No, Tiffany I will stay" conviction in his voice,

"Sir, it is not the time to be willful we should retreat" Tiffany replied hurriedly.

Seeing Tiffany panicking he placed his hand on her shoulder and looking into her eyes he said, "Tiffany I have a plan, that is to use that dead-end alley and use that place while waiting for reinforcement"

Tiffany looking at his sky-blue colored eyes was dazed but immediately came out of it and said "Sir, that's stupid we will be sitting duck to them, they just have to overwhelm us with firepower and we are done for"

Seeing that she was rejecting him he backed away with his back pressing at the door of the car, seeing him acting like that Tiffany thought he would run out of the car and suddenly lunged toward him to place him inside the car,

"Bam!!"

But she was unable to go further as she crashed into something like an invincible wall. Backing away slightly she saw Richard's mouth curled up probably because of the shocked expression she was having. She slowly touched the hard surface of the air, questions filling her head.

"So what would happen if we got an absolute shield covering our whole men from all directions" He asked while smiling, enjoying her shocked expression.

Thinking it for a moment Tiffany resolutely pressed her earpiece " All squad….."
