Chapter 735: Zeus’s path
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Nothing strange happened as Aziz's fourth bullet whizzed in.
However, ten metres away from hitting the blowdart male, the whirling bullet conjured out an image of a diabolical direwolf.
Its mouth drenched with blood, the direwolf pounced forth in mid-air and viciously munched the blowdart male's neck. With a ferocious twist, it ripped out flesh and blood as it devoured his life.
The blowdart male was still living prior to falling off the building. Yet upon landing, he shockingly crashed down as a non-discountable dead man.
With a deflated long howl, the direwolf vanished into thin air.
One could observe how extraordinarily impressive Aziz's offense was!
As the discrete second figurehead of Glory Party, he was indeed worthy of his reputation.
Yet despite his overwhelming offense, as time dragged on, he still failed to close up the disparity between both parties.
It was easy to differentiate the disparity between individual formidability and party formidability. Speaking in terms of football clubs, could a single Lionel Messi carry Argentina to world victory? Or in terms of basketball clubs, could one Kobe Bryant win against a full NBA team?
Thus, as time dragged on, the Metals Professor and her group was forced to the third floor; the highest floor and also the parking area. They were trapped in an impasse and casualties were bound to rapidly surface.
The individuals who followed the Metals Professor were practically mostly elites sent to restrain Zi, yet little did they know, two of them would first be eliminated by Sheyan and gang while the rest would suffer an utter tragedy here.
Calculating in terms of Glory Party's diminishing combat capabilities as more fell in this world, they had plummeted to nearly a third of their original party's strength!
If all of them were to be annihilated by Skull Party, then Glory Party's prowess would definitely not even possess a third of their original might.
Meanwhile, as she spectated her enemy's extermination, Zi didn't appear very happy.
As Sheyan glanced from his angle, he could observe a dull and worried expression; one that contained a fear for the unknown future.
Sensing Sheyan's gaze, Zi abruptly swung around and scoffed.
"You're thinking I'm too soft?"
Sheyan chuckled in response.
"You're a woman."
There was an unspoken but vivid implication in his words, to which Zi sighed and replied.
"Wait until you become an official Growth-Hunter, then you will know how I feel today."
Sheyan was about to answer but he noticed Zi's sudden frown.
"Such a powerful spatial ripple....could it be, Fu Lyanna is this crazy, she actually dares to summon the 'Arbitrary Door' ?"
Sheyan and the others weren't mage type contestants like Zi and couldn't sense any spatial ripple. Nevertheless, they could clearly observe a strange oddity occuring in the surrounding space.
For example, tiny vortexes started swirling in their idle coffee mugs, while a crushed up bill had randomly floated into the air.
A faint humming rung in their ears as though an airplane was about to land…...
Sheyan then asked.
"Zi, can your 'Skywalker Force, Strands of Time' ability disrupt the ripples?"
Zi gazed deep into his eyes as she clutched her silver dagger with her slender fair fingers.
"I'm not sure but I can try."
Sheyan pondered a little before earnestly replying.
"There isn't a need to. Weakening Glory Party to this extent has already met our current objectives, they will probably not pose a massive threat to use anymore. What good will it be if they lose any more? Rather than shaving off more members, why not let Skull and Zeus duel each other!"
After pensively thinking, Reef then interrupted.
"I agree with what Zi said previously. If we can spectate their fight, the knowledge we'll acquire wouldn't be inferior to a silver storyline grade equipment. Let Zeus come, let us witness all his aces!"
"Zeus is here." Mogensha abruptly blurted.
Under the Metals Professor's guidance, a queer blue line sliced through the air in front of her out of nowhere. The blue line then expanded before one could distinctly observe two hands strenuously attempting to push through. Gradually, an unstable radiance that could accommodate the size of one human was formed.
The next second, a figure stode out.
This wasn't a herculean looking figure but could only be described as pretty large. Still, his countenance released a pair of eagle eyes looking out for its wolf pack. It was as though everyone would crowd around him and accept his leadership.
"That must be Zeus eh?" Sheyan calmly muttered.
Zi nodded emotionlessly.
Following that, other subordinates swarmed out of the 'Arbitrary Door' like fishes and the last to exit the door was 'nose-ring' Finarsih.
When Finarsih stepped out, he very bluntly vomited a mouthful of blood before passing out. Sprawled to the ground without a hint of mobility, it was obvious Zi was right; summoning the 'Arbitrary Door' was indeed immensely taxing!
Zeus surveyed his surroundings with an ashen expression. Evidently, he could sense that the grievous rate of casualty of his party had eclipsed his imagination.
Right in this instant, Skull marched in like a pile driver. With every slow step he took, chunks of rock and cement scattered as he ascended to the third floor.
The two stared at each other.
Raging sparks could be seen between the gazes of the two invincible MTs.
"Your guys...have contributed a total of 12 achievement points, a dark-gold grade equipment and a silver storyline grade equipment to us." Skill mocked with a tinge of sincerity on his metallic shimmering face as he continued.
"Although this is far from the compensation we should receive but I have to admit, Zeus, you and your party have truly been generous."
Zeus apathetically replied.
"Your greatest forte is still your mouth, Skull. It seems the lesson you received the previous time was far from enough."
While speaking, Zeus's left arm muscles swelled intensely and ripped apart the sleeves. One could see cyan snake-like veins meandering along his arms as it displayed a deformed vigor.
In a split second, Zeus's left arm smashed down onto the ground like a pile driver; drilling deep into the concrete floor like a hot knife cutting through butter, all the way till his elbow drilled in.
Strangely, the fragmented cement didn't scatter from the impact but instead, congregated fiercely towards his elbow. It was as though a certain sticky but unyielding liquid was formed, as Zeus's left arm released an inexhaustible attraction force, sucking all the concrete fragments onto his arm.
Then with a mighty pull, Zeus pulled his left arm out with a sonorous crunch!
This time, rocks sprayed out as dust pervaded the air. One could now observe a massive pit in the ground before him.
A layer of large concrete rocks now bundled around Zeus's left arm, causing it to be exceptionally gigantic.
Concurrently, the nightmare imprint at his chest emitted a piercing brilliance. Similar to Skull, two dusky grey beams then shot out from his nightmare imprint!
In contrast, the two beams didn't link with anyone. Instead, a beam shot towards the ground beneath Glory Party and the other beneath the members of Skull Party.
Vividly seen, those grey beams created a forty square metre dull greyish zone where they landed.
Like a swarm of bees, the members of Glory Party rushed towards their dull grey zone.
As for the members of Skull Party, they begun segregated as speedily attempted to escape they dull grey zone on their side.
Nevertheless, Zeus could control the positions of his dusky grey beams. Like stage lights, he managed to encompass at least 5-6 members within his dull grey zone.
One could clearly notice, the members of Glory Party moved with a distinctively accelerated speed in their dull grey zone. In contrast, Skull Party members had their movement speed severely impaired within the dull grey zone.
The two Growth-Hunters, who caused Glory Party to suffer dearly after being buffed by Skull, would have no choice but to enter a dull grey zone to besiege their Glory Party foes. Alas, their speed would fall drastically inside the grey zone while their opponents' speed would amplify wondrously.
Moments later, they were battered miserably and wanted to exchange damage for damage wasn't a possibility as well.
Yet the most astounding fact was this. Even bullets that entered Zeus's grey zones had their velocity slowed.
Sheyan even witnessed the mage type Metals Professor effortlessly shielding herself from several bullets in her face. The slow bullets were easily deflected by her magic wand.
Upon viewing the shock in Sheyan's and Reef's eyes, Zi solemnly announced.
"That is Zeus's MT ability known as 'Gravity Rule'.
His allies would receive movement speed bonus in his gravity domains, while his foes would suffer movement and attack speed decline.
At this moment, someone attempted to assault Zeus.
Obviously, Zeus's movement speed had also plunged significantly, but he simply blocked with his rocky left arm; it was essentially like an impregnable barrier!
The effects of Skull Party's attack on him was oddly poor as well.
Sheyan sunk into silence for a brief while before saying.
"I can now roughly understand the key constitutions of an MT."
"Firstly, an official MT possesses an ability that can greatly strengthen his comrades or weaken his foes. This ability definitely carries an outstanding precedence, and its effects would be extremely shocking."
"Next, when an MT demonstrates that ability, he will have to pay a definite price. For example, the glow on his nightmare imprint will clearly reveal his position, or he will experience a massive plunge his movement speed; perhaps, even being incapable of walking!"
"Thus when that happens, enemies will undoubtedly focus fire on the MT. Why so? Because the MT is a living target practice. A clear target that cannot move, one that can only endure damage and also the most crucial core of the party. Once the opposing MT falls, the party would achieve overwhelming superiority!"
