Chapter 547: Thunderstruck crushing
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
After releasing his burst shot of 3, Mogensha’s movement was unavoidably hampered; allowing two gypsy knights to chase up to him.
The back of his head was smashed by a hefty hatchet, before his left arm was slashed by a greatsword. Describing it in current medical terms, his arm would be crushed and fractured while his brain would suffer from severe cerebral concussion!
Though Mogensha’s body was digitalized by the realm, blood oozed out from his ears and nostrils. He was completely incapable of returning fire, but could only flee desperately while wheezing in agony.
However, even with the interference of many aspects, the five poker cards of Trish were released successfully.
Swivelling in at high speeds, the five cards stabbed into the semi-cracked crystalline coffin atop the totemic demon beast’s head. The crystalline coffin instantly churned with indescribably violent trembles.
Filled with lava within, the lava was now boiling ferociously as though it would flood out in any second. One could see those five poker cards gradually dissolving through and into the lava.
Then, a blazing red energy shone brilliantly as it incessantly streamed into the body of the totemic demon beast.
Within a split second, that astronomical giant elephant vanished from everyone’s sight as though it had evaporated!!
At this moment, Sheyan suddenly felt something wasn’t right. He was already in a bloodlusted murderous state, but at the instance of the totemic demon beast vanishing, every cell in his body seemed to twitch with an intensified sense of crisis. This sensation caused him to halt his struggle as he couldn’t help but look up.
Although it was night time, he could feel as though a generous broad shadow was descending from the sky; as though a dense dark cloud had covered the moonlight and the twinkling stars.
Even if he hadn’t raised his head but focused his vision on chasing, he would be able to hear an intimidating disturbance filling the atmosphere; a perceived distinct rumbling in his eardrums. It was like a gigantic, heavy object with an ardent killing intent was weighing down like Mount Tai!
Unbeknownst when, that astronomical totemic demon beast had actually been shifted into the sky above Sheyan!
That entire sculpture had morphed into a terrifying and fierce killing pressure up in the sky as it weighed down, leaving an impression of thousands of boulders and trees tumbling down a mountain range. The unstoppable momentum of this smashing trees and rocks was second to none!
Such a momentum was incredibly crushing and incredibly suppressing!
Sheyan’s pupils shrank instantly. He could deduce that this astronomical totemic demon beast had firmly locked onto his soul, rendering all attempts of dodging or evading futile! Therefore, apart from meeting it face on, there were no other alternatives!
"Screw this."
Due to the protection of ‘Life-link’ between him and Reef, it wouldn’t be possible to directly obliterate Sheyan. Yet as the saying goes, advantages comes with shortfalls. With the activating protection of his ‘Life-link’, although Sheyan would possess an indomitable shield, he would similarly sink into an awkward predicament – the complete disability of being in a near-death state!
Following that, once the gypsy diviner Trish amassed sufficient manpower alongside the few gypsy knights, Mogensha may not be able to withstand their onslaught!
Once Mogensha retreats or dies, Sheyan would then be reduced to a meat on the chopping board, or turtle in the jar; utterly opened to being toyed with.
Sheyan had calculated this before. Under the state of no interference while being assaulted under the protection of ‘Life-link’, at most four individuals can gang up against him; assaulting him with an average speed of one strike every two seconds. Therefore, every minute would roughly deal 120 points of damage to Reef. Without needing even ten minutes, Reef would submerge into near-death state and their ‘Life-link’ would be brokened! Even if Reef utilized his ‘Honorary Dosage’ and the party’s healing ability, it was still impossible to last over an hour. Furthermore, the requisites of this was that Reef couldn’t be in combat state!
Yet meanwhile, Reef was inevitably entangled in a blood battle with their attempts to seize the ship!
At this moment, Sheyan lifted his saber with both hands. As he roared wildly, he poured forth his full might as it swiped towards the pressurizing totemic demon beast.
This sensation was as though he was defying both the sky and mother earth! An arrogant courage like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
Sparks dispersed in all directions, coupled with the piercing screeches of metallic chaffing. The durability of Sheyan’s ‘+7 West’ momentarily experienced a crazy fall, while a tiny toe of the totemic demon beast crumbled off.
Nevertheless, this revered giant elephant continued bearing down with unsurpassed impetuousness; bluntly crashing down atop Sheyan’s head, pressing him deep into the ground!
The earth trembled and throbbed at the instance of the insane crushing of the totemic demon beast. After a violent shuddering of the earth, an intensified gust of air swept out; unleashing a ravenous gale towards the surrounding, as it incited an upheaval of smoke and dust spanning hundreds of metres into the distant.
Tree leaves and tender shoots were blown metres into the air. Furthermore, with the astronomical totemic demon beast as the core, ten metre long unfathomably deep crevices erupted out throughout the ground!
With this crushing strike, the totemic demon beast appeared to have paid an immense price. It surface emitted ‘gurgleigeli’ muffled sounds before numerous cracks formed! It was akin to the cracks of a fallen porcelain.
Halting for a brief while, the cracks on its surface started flowing out with a blood like fluid. Within the empty air, a sudden red ‘Joker’ card surged out. Swivelling high speeds from up to bottom, it carved out an unexplainable portal, as though ripping out spacetime itself. Then, that totemic demon beast groaned in anguish, before stepping through the portal with one step as it vanished utterly.
Beneath the crushing impact of the totemic demon beast, was shockingly a 10 metres broad, 3-4 metres deep pit. Probably because this area was close to the coast, seawater rapidly seeped up from the depths of the large pit, surging up violently.
Soon after, a dull silver globe then emerged from the depths of the large pit.
Inside the globe, was shockingly a half kneeling Sheyan with a mutilated face, where he could be seen taking huge gasps of breath.
The ‘+7 West’ in his hand was seemingly gravely damaged with its durability nearly exhausted. Without mending it, it probably was impossible to employ it.
Yet to everyone’s surprise, Sheyan’s HP was experiencing a swift restoration. Otherwise, Sheyan would probably drown to death inside the mire of pit water. Bear this in mind, the silver protective globe could prevent water from flowing it, but it didn’t possess oxygen providing capabilities. Moreover, a near-death state contestant was not much better off than an ordinary human.
Yet within a short span of dozens of seconds, Sheyan’s HP was restored to approximately 50% and his ‘Life-link’ protection shield naturally dissipated away. Using his saber as crutches, he panted heavily as he crawled out the large pit while feeling a traumatizing fear in his heart.
As it turns out, countless of notions had flashed past Sheyan’s mind as the revered totemic demon beast was crashing down as though the heaven was falling. Yet, he actually raised his saber valiantly in resistance!
But a second before the collision, he immediately activated his party ability ‘Gloryheal’! Furthermore, he had equipped the ‘Sacred Cowhorn Cup’ which supplied an added 25% to healing effects. Counting in that manner, he would experience a restoration of 75% within less than twenty seconds!
Nevertheless, even with Sheyan’s present outstanding attributes, it would be impossible for him to defy the insanely destructive crushing of that giant elephant. In actual fact, only a Growth-Hunter that had broken through the boundary could withstand the gypsy’s totemic demon beast. If not, one would have to give up his life in exchange.
Despite that, Sheyan’s ‘Life-link’ ability was indeed formidable. When his HP fell to near-death state, that impregnable shield naturally formed around him.
Although Sheyan was immobile, the party ability ‘Gloryheal’ would be in effect for 12 seconds. This persisting healing effect would maintain a constant healing supply to Sheyan’s wounds. Hence, that was what happened in the end.
Although this sequence of events sounded rather simple, it would require one to possess the utmost clarity of thought. If not for his composure, Sheyan wouldn’t have been able to live till now.
Still, Sheyan’s current state was the peak of patheticness. However, he also knew those gypsies that had been dispatched to reinforce their ship would soon return. Furthermore, he also perceived that Mogensha would definitely require his aid in this critical period. Therefore, bearing the agony of his wounds, he crawled out of the pit, before sprinting towards the direction of Mogensha’s pursuers.
Although it was a minute few hundred metres, Sheyan noticed the sprinkling trail of blood along the route. Broken fragments of armour and decapitated limbs could be seen everywhere. He could tell Mogensha had been actively counter attacking while fleeing.
However, Sheyan could also sense from his footwork, then Brother Black’s physique was gradually waning.
After all, the difficulty to raid this gypsy campsite would absolutely be worthy of a ‘B+’ evaluation.
All of a sudden, rumbling gunshots like frying beans could be heard ahead. Sheyan immediately scrambled towards that direction, before he witnessed two gypsy knights vehemently assaulting Mogensha.
Viewing the dire crisis of the situation, Sheyan pulled out ‘Ambition’ without hesitation as he aimed and triggered!
The ordinary damage and explosive strike rate of ‘Ambition’ was superb. Thus, a fatal lead bullet punctured the wrist of a gypsy knight, blowing his wrist bone fractured with blood spraying!
That gypsy knight was about to chop down his longsword onto Mogensha. Instead, the sword chopped down weakly, merely carving out a bloody cut on Mogensha’s chest.
Beholding Sheyan’s successful return, Mogensha’s vigor was aroused!
With his leg that had received another grave damage, he didn’t retreat but instead lunged forward. A gypsy knight hastily chased up to him, before thrusting his lance in. Instead by this time, Sheyan, who had stumbled in from the back, gripped him!
