Chapter 690: Bitter fighting
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Without a doubt, the trio was trapped in an impasse; a deadly situation.
Very likely, their opponents had anticipated that others would pass through here, and had stationed themselves here for a period of time already. The clear proof of other battles between them and dinosaurs, or them and other contestants, was the throwing knife that Mogensha discovered.
Therefore, this was a flawlessly planned ambush.
Recognizing that, Mogensha and Sheyan immediately jumped aside, each to the left and right, without a sound. It appeared as though a terrifying aviation bomb had landed between them, and they were blasted aside by immense detonation force.
Such was the abruptness of their movement, they didn’t grant even a single second of buffer time for their opponents. Nevertheless, the flying-knives expert immediately hurled out a single flying knife with great indifference. Though his action seemed rather lackadaisical, the knife soared with utmost speed; transforming into a chilling beam as it shot towards Sheyan’s head!
Seeing the speed of his casually thrown incoming flying knife, Sheyan wasn’t able to dodge in
Fortunately, during the process of darting away, Mogensha had twisted his body round and opened fire in midair. Fiery tongues volleyed out of his golden AK, as three burst shots struck against that flying knife.
Pang! A muffled clink echoed as the knife deviated from its intended target, and eventually lodged into a lateral tree.
Then, the remaining four opponents barreled forward without hesitation nor emotions. Their movements were swift and soundless; like famished wild wolves scuttling through the snow for food. They segregated into two directions, as they charged to surround both Reef and Sheyan.
Seeing that his flying knife had missed, this strange knifeman with bloodshot eyes pulled out another incisive flying knife. Following that, he licked the knife’s blade with his maroon tongue. Blood streamed down from the corner of his lips, but was greedily lapped by his long and pointy tongue.
"Fools who dare to touch my people? Since you broke the pact first, then the contract between Zeus and us is hereby nullified…...hmph, I, Drizzt, delights in hearing the sounds of my enemy’s soul and blood freezing up!"
During the instance of encountering a surprise enemy, Sheyan’s heart instantly sank but his mind remained additionally composed! Evidently, this Drizzt guy came specifically for them! His intentions were simply, undoubtedly, it was to seek vengeance for his fallen subordinates.
"Therefore, this brat is clearly aware that Kaoyi and Joseph were slain by us three. Since they dare to outrightly seek revenge, they naturally have confidence in victory!"
Sheyan had originally saved the four achievement points he recently acquired. However now, he immediately invested them into his virus ability ‘Influenza’ without hesitation.
Even raising his battle capabilities by half a point could turn the tides of war!
When his ‘Influenza’ ability previously reached level 4, the amount of achievement points required similarly rose to 4 points. Even with 50% discounting due to his ‘Stairway of the Sun’ virus system, he only managed to upgrade the ‘Influenza’ ability to level 6. Hence, following the trend of 2% increase in each level, the chances of negative buffs of sneezing, shivering and headaches rose from 11% to 15%.
After accomplish this deed, Sheyan’s thoughts continued jolting through his mind.
"If the enemy is deployed in this manner, then, our top priority is to do this….."
Sheyan extended out both hands, and atop one of his palm, was the dazzling radiance of a golden pearl! Within a split second, the radiance enveloped Sheyan’s body!
Indeed, this was the active ability of the ‘Gold Pearl of the Caribbean Sea’ – ‘Pearliate’.
Upon activating this equipment, the radiance of the ‘Gold Pearl of the Caribbean Sea’ became imbued onto him; propelling his pure perceptive sense to double. Still, any relevant effects from his perceptive sense reaching a certain threshold wouldn’t be triggered!
Sheyan’s current perceptive points were already ‘23+9’ points! After employing the ‘Goldpearl of the Caribbean Sea’, his perceptive sense broke through and reached 55 points! Even so, it wouldn’t trigger the boundary threshold breakthrough, causing him to become a perceptive sense specialized Growth-Hunter.
While the golden radiance enveloped Sheyan, Reef concurrently unleashed a ‘Shattering Cardiac Roar’. To his astonishment, though his ‘Shattering Cardiac Roar’ still dealt damages, the negative effects failed to affect the surrounding foes. Their foes remained pressing in with sly sneers on their faces. Not a single notification of resistance even appeared in their battle logs.
But at this instant, Sheyan erupted forth!
A blinding brilliance flickered on his finger as he directly activated ‘Horn-Rage’! Simultaneously, a vomit colored greenish mist dissipated out from him, indicated clearly that his ‘Corrosynthesis’ ability had been activated!
Yet peculiarly, Sheyan’s stampeding direction wasn’t aiming for anyone. From his speeding trajectory, he first charged past a building before smashing against a Chrysler SUV!
After ruthlessly smashing into the hood of the SUV, he exploded forth with his soaring 49 points of strength; sending the SUV rolling for several rounds. Rumbling sounds reverberated, as dust and glass shards scattered in all directions.
In spite of that, Sheyan’s target wasn’t that SUV. Instead, it was a plain garbage bin behind the SUV. When he collided against the dark blue garbage bin, a weird shriek pierced out before a layer of distorted space appeared on the surface of the garbage bin. The closest example would be mirage distortions due to heatwave in a desert, causing misjudgements in one’s optic nerves!
Stunned by Sheyan’s ‘Horn-Rage’, the figure of an individual slowly surfaced.
Meanwhile, at the exact point of Sheyan’s collision, the few opponents surrounding Reef and Mogensha suddenly evaporated into thin air.
Instantaneously, the four opponents appeared 4-5 metres away, and from the postures of their movements, one could observe that their speed had been widely reduced. This meant that in reality, they were affected by Reef’s ability. But of course, with Reef’s current indomitable prowess, even peak Growth-Hunters like Prince Stalo or Zi, would find it hard to negate the effects of his ‘Shattering Cardiac Roar’.
Therefore, the image of them not being affected earlier, was purely an illusion! An illusion that affected one’s optic nerves!
The memory of the killing combination of those Reserve-duty Growth-Hunters, Lille and Uzel, was still distinct in Sheyan’s memory. An assassin supplemented with unparalleled illusions, they had inflicted great distress and sufficient troubles to the trio.
Due to that battle, Sheyan had been constantly plotting and eventually concluded many things. Hence, he had always been wary of encountering the same situation.
The speed and intensity of these ambushing opponents was already out of his expectations. Furthermore, the fact that they could noiselessly surround them, as though easily placing the trio into a boiling part, signified one fact.
"The opponent definitely has an incredibly formidable perceptive sense Growth-Hunter. One that could cause us to walk into an ambush without warning!"
"Furthermore, the fact that our data statistics aren’t misled, but merely our senses are affected, indicates that this Growth-Hunter didn’t break through primarily with perceptive sense. Hence, there isn’t much suppression, and perceptive sense is merely his secondary attribute!"
Therefore, immediately after the battle commenced, Sheyan determined that he must locate this powerful perceptive sense opponent.
Following his activation of the ‘Goldpearl of the Caribbean Sea’, the massive boost in his perceptive sense immediately allowed him to sense not one, but two individuals hiding in the shadows!
One of which was probably a gunman, and was occupying a high vantage point.
Instead, the other was merely hiding a block away, behind a vehicle! Yet when Sheyan shifted his gaze there, he saw no one but a single garbage bin through the car’s window. If he encountered this scenario for the first time, he would be scrambling around at a loss. But now that he had experienced Uzel and Lille, he naturally knew how to react!
As for that hiding individual, he was likely an illusion master with high perceptive sense! With his impressive perceptive sense, most individuals wouldn’t be able to detect his existence, while his illusions could greatly disrupt his foes and provide tremendous assistance in the battlefield.
Yet for such a contestant build, he would be equally weak; if Sheyan didn’t aim to kill him first, then who would he hit first?
Witnessing Sheyan launching such an out of the blue offensive, the countenance of the flying-knife expert, Drizzt, changed drastically. A glaring glow radiated from the nightmare imprint over his brows, before hurling two frosted flying knives at Sheyan!
Concurrently, almost half of the squad assaulting Mogensha and Reef similarly round, and directed their assaults at Sheyan instead.
Boom! A thunderous, soul rendering gunshot resounded. That was the gunshot of a powerful sniper rifle!
One could sense that a terrifying bullet that could conquer all strongholds was incoming. Small explosions incessantly erupted in the air wherever that bullet passed through. It was as imposing as a giant dragon clawing through the vast sky!
This bullet, was similarly heading for Sheyan!
In a split second, four different attacks were targeting straight for Sheyan!
Brother Black pressed his trigger tightly, so tight that his finger webbing turned pale. Fiery streaks of bullets blasted out and landed against the flying frosted knives.
Dang! Dang! Dang! Blunt sounds emerged! To his horror, that flying knife was undeterred, and merely slanted a little, before puncturing through another nearby vehicle!
