Beginning of the assault [4]

"…well fuck."

Staring at the barrel of the gun right in front of me, the world around me froze.

Despite of the fact that I had a gun barrel aimed at my head, I was calm. My eyes paused on the hole of the narrow barrel where I could see a small energy blast forming at the very end of it. Upon closer look, I noticed a small bundle of spherical mana agglomerating towards the very end of the barrel, forming a small pink ball. 

Not taking my eyes away from the ball, the chip inside of my head started processing at full power, and all sorts of different scenarios materialized inside of my head.

All the scenarios had different survivability probabilities.

Some high, some low. 

All the processing and analyzing happened within a short second, and before the ball had fully formed, I already knew what to do. 

'…and I really wanted to conserve my mana.'
