Chapter 1252: Ho Court
Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1
Who was Rocky? A man who achieved the milestone for the ‘Hundred-Man Kill’ title; soone with extrely rich experience in fights against other contestants! The mont he realised that the enemies’ attention was diverted by Steel File’s appearance, he instantly let Gungnir fly once more!
An exceptionally fierce light burst forth, and three rays of illusionary light curved forward, creating explosions in the air that were so deafening that it sounded as if the sky was falling apart.
The speed and force of the three rays of illusionary light could not be described with re words. Anyone who so much as glanced at them would feel their body burning, as if the light should not have existed in the mortal world at all!
The light flashed and went out as if it had never existed, but Reef was already half-kneeling on the ground. There were three visible holes on his dark gold shield, and surrounding the holes were fractures like the patterns on a tortoise shell.
Reef was enclosed in a layer of pale yellow barrier....’Life-Link’ had already been triggered!
In other words, Rocky’s attack just now was powerful enough to instantly send a very well-equipped MT into a state of near death! Such terrifying power!
However, this particular attack was not sothing that Rocky could easily perform. The attack was called ‘Will of the Gods’, and it was a killer move akin to Sheyan’s ‘Beast of Corrosion’. In fact, the cost of activating it was even higher than the ‘Beast of Corrosion’!
[ ‘Will of the Gods’ — Launch three rays of illusionary images of Gungnir to inflict heavy, mixed-type damage to an enemy (lightning type true damage). This attack will not miss and will penetrate through the enemy’s defence. After inflicting damage, the attack will leave a ‘Mark of Light’ on the enemy, causing all damages suffered by the enemy for the next 2 seconds to multiply by 2. The effect of ‘Mark of Light’ can stack. ]
Because Rocky’s skill level was not high enough, he could not aim all three rays on the sa target yet, so he had actually aid his attacks on Reef, Sheyan and Zi at the sa ti, but Reef had used ‘Holy Grasp’ to pull Sheyan and Zi behind him..... But the rays had homing capabilities! As a result, all three rays pierced into Reef in succession!
The damage done by the rays of illusionary images was astonishing, but it was actually not that bad for Reef. However, the second ray ca after the first. Not only was its damage doubled, the effect of ‘Mark of Light’ stacked, becoming x4! And when the third ray penetrated into Reef’s body, the damage beca shockingly high! Furthermore, it happened to trigger an explosive strike!
Rocky obviously did not expect this result either, but he reacted to it very quickly. He pressed his hand to his chest, and with a loud bang, the sll of ozone filled the air. Three pumpkin-sized electric balls hovered around him, rotating slowly and completely blocking off this end of the tunnel. On the other end, Steel File approached with heavy steps. The two “rcenaries” behind him watched on with evil grins on their faces.
“I’m a rciful person, so I’ll give you the chance to say your last words even though you’ve just killed a brother of mine!” Every word Rocky uttered was firm and resolute. A huge cross rose behind him, healing his injury. “Don’t even think for a second that you can escape with the help of that guy with earth-elent power who’s hiding in the rocks! I don’t mind telling you that Steel File’s power completely suppresses his!”
But surprisingly, Sheyan’s face broke into a smile. “Quit your bullsh*t. You think I don’t know that you’re stalling for ti? Stop acting like letting us say a few words is an act of such great rcy.”
Rocky’s gaze turned sharp and his expression beca more vicious, because Sheyan’s words were right on the money! Rocky considered himself a man with great foresight, but for the first ti in his life, he t soone who could completely see through him!
And this person was also an MT.
This person was also a dual-attribute specialist!
This person also had a really special power which could spread viruses!
This person also had a group of highly competent companions around him!
To be an MT and a dual-attribute specialist ant having natural born talents. If they weren’t talents, then what was?
To have a special ability to spread viruses that even Rocky had never seen before ant having exceptional luck. If that wasn’t luck, then what was?
To be able to gather powerful people, each with their own pride, around him and form a monstrous dual-MT party ant having exceptional capability!
All these thoughts flashed through Rocky’s mind in an instant.
A strong killing intent suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart!!
“This man can’t leave here alive,” Rocky spoke seriously in the party communication channel. Then, as if afraid that the others had not heard him clearly, he repeated it again.
“We absolutely can’t let this man leave here alive!”
The blue colour on his face had beco more intense, especially along the blood vessels, making his head look like a stone carving with fine, deep cracks!
“You have to kill this man even at the cost of all your attributes dropping?” asked Steel File heavily.
“Yes!” Rocky earnestly replied, “I don’t know why, but I have a hunch that if I don’t kill him now, I’ll be killed by him in the future!”
But at this mont, Sheyan’s mouth suddenly curled into a strange smile. He said to Rocky, “I actually know that you’re using this chance to take dicines and recover, and yet, I’m still willing to waste ti talking to you. Why’s that?”
Rocky’s pupils contracted sharply. Sheyan laughed and continued, “Because I need to stall for ti even more than you do, to wait for my preparations to complete! Hahaha, this battle has been worth it just for the sake of finally witnessing the true strength of Temperers. But how long can this battle form of yours last? Okay, the first half is over! We’ll comnce the second half of the fight in thirty minutes!”
As soon as Sheyan’s words concluded, everyone there felt their eardrums vibrating slightly. Then, a tiny, hard-to-describe noise, like the sound of the air being compressed rapidly, transmitted into their ears. The noise was faint and intermittent at first, but in rely a few seconds, it turned grand and powerful!
Then, a damp sll seeped into their noses. The noise beca thunder-like, coming from all directions at the sa ti like a surging tide. Gravel rolled down the cracks in the walls.
The next second, muddy water gushed over from the distance like a dragon, flooding the area. All of a sudden, everyone there found themselves subrged in an intense and rapid turbulence.
It must be noted that this underground tunnel was built to connect to an underwater city. It was nearly ten ters in height and was wide enough for four trucks to travel abreast! Yet the fierce, turbulent water had actually filled the whole tunnel!
Team formation, individual powers; they were all worthless in the face of this force of nature!
Yes, this was the ergency asure Sheyan had arranged in advance, a asure carried out with 47 pumps which he had mobilised using his newly obtained authority. All the while, the young cyclops Kulutego had been planting explosives within the rocks, while Sanzi had stayed at the command centre, patiently waiting for Sheyan’s order to release the water!
The deserted land of Kekexili may seem dry, but it was actually surrounded by snowy mountains. The underground city was designed with this in mind. Having been put to work for such a long ti, the forty-seven high-power pumps had already stored a huge amount of water. As soon as the water was let loose, it completely flooded the underground tunnels.
Although the first wave of the water was extrely violent, as long as one could stabilise oneself, they would be able to adapt to the water afterwards. But having put so much effort into this escape plan, Sheyan surely wished for it to be as perfect as possible. Therefore, at least half the water content was mud. It was even muddier than the Yellow River. If a person who was not familiar with moving in this kind of water tried to force their eyes open, their eyes would surely be rubbed full of sand.
Since all of them were forced to close their eyes while being subrged in water, the biggest advantage went to the people who were familiar with underwater environnt, followed by the people with high Perceptive Sense. Sheyan fulfilled both criteria, bringing his advantage to the maximum. He also had help from Kulutego. As soon as water flooded the tunnel, the two of them instantly helped Reef and Zi hide inside the stone wall next to them.
However, because of this delay, Rocky managed to discover Sheyan’s location. He instantly threw his lance, and it pierced through Sheyan’s chest!!
Of course this blow could not kill Sheyan, but it did make him struggle in the water and spit out a mouthful of blood! His eyes even began to turn white slowly. Rocky squinted and was barely able to see Sheyan. He was overjoyed with what he saw. But Sheyan imdiately tried to break away after that. Rocky knew that once Sheyan managed to distance himself in the muddy water, it would be difficult to catch him again, so he instantly stretched out his hand to grab Sheyan.
Sheyan panicked, not willing to be caught by Rocky, while Rocky refused to let go. During the tug of war, Sheyan suddenly smirked ominously. Rocky was stunned, but before he could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of his head. His head had been slamd by a rock in the water.
