Fang Zhen's heart suddenly clenched as his precognition and aversion to death kicked in simultaneously.
With an agility that completely belied his full plate armor, he took two consecutive leaping strides, covering nearly four or five ters.
Just then, the Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper abruptly materialized out of thin air right where Fang Zhen had been standing. A black sphere of energy simultaneously erupted from its body, expanding two to three ters outward.
If Fang Zhen hadn't predicted the attack and dodged, he would have been struck by the sphere of black energy.
'A mage?'
Seeing the Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper's physique and its two pieces of physical-damage gear, Fang Zhen had assud it was a physical-type Warrior. He never expected the behemoth to open with two Magic attacks right off the bat.
He didn't panic. He calmly drew the Desert Viper Handgun with his left hand and fired three shots at the Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The Desert Viper fired in quick succession.
The Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper raised the pickaxe in its right hand, blocking its face as if it had predicted the move.
The Gatekeeper's pickaxe was strange. It was sothing like a Cross Pickaxe, but it had a large, black, Shield-like component in the center. The whole thing looked like a bizarre hybrid of a giant shovel and a pickaxe.
The Shield-like part perfectly blocked the Gatekeeper's face.
Fang Zhen's bullets were deflected.
Without a mont's hesitation, he continued to backpedal, aiming his left-handed pistol at the Gatekeeper's chest and vital organs before unleashing a volley of shots.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
A continuous series of gunshots rang out.
Fang Zhen was less accurate with his left hand than his right, but the Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper was simply too large. While the pickaxe in its hand could shield its head, it couldn't protect its body. In an instant, it was hit five tis across its chest.
The Gatekeeper let out a muffled grunt. It was injured.
But the Gatekeeper's body seed fundantally different from a human's. The nine-milliter bullets bored into it, leaving five holes the size of a child's pinky finger.
A human would have been on the ground after those five shots. Even a giant of a man like Shaquille O'Neal would be eting his maker if he took five nine-milliter rounds to the chest and lungs.
The Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper, however, only seed to be in pain; it didn't look seriously injured.
The wounds were deep, but not a single drop of blood flowed out.
'It can tank that much damage?'
Fang Zhen was a little surprised.
Although the five shots hadn't seriously wounded the Gatekeeper, they had enraged it.
The Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper let out a low roar and suddenly charged, rushing toward Fang Zhen.
Fang Zhen quickly retreated.
'That thing is huge. Trying to block its charge head-on would be a bad idea. Better to avoid the brunt of the attack.'
At that mont, seven or eight black Wind Blades suddenly flew in from behind.
They were from Avera's Crystal Bone Crows.
The Wind Blades were quite sharp, slicing into the Gatekeeper's back and carving out a series of wounds.
However, that was the extent of it.
The wounds sliced into the Gatekeeper's back were half a centiter deep, just enough to peel back the skin. Not a single drop of blood erged. They looked terrifying, like the mangled marks left on flesh by a whip, but the actual damage was minimal.
The Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper tanked the hits without even turning its head, continuing its charge toward Fang Zhen.
The Gatekeeper's body was heavy and massive, making it look clumsy, but its top speed was surprisingly fast. Simply sidestepping wouldn't be enough to get out of its attack range.
Fang Zhen slid the Desert Viper from his left hand into the tactical holster at his side. He then gripped his long spear with both hands, ready to test the boss's strength.
His long spear was wreathed in Magic Fla. Amid the swirling fire, a white light suddenly flashed.
It was the Power Mountain Seal.
Fang Zhen surged forward.
Through his precognition, he saw the Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper unleash a physical combo in the span of a second: first a heavy smash with its pickaxe, followed imdiately by a full-body spin that sent the thick iron chain at its waist sweeping out.
This combo was both fierce and fast, making it extrely difficult to dodge.
So, Fang Zhen decided not to dodge at all.
Fang Zhen used the Power Mountain Seal, executing a Progressive Barrier Capture as he thrust his spear forward violently.
Before the spear even reached its target, the Magic Fla upon it spiraled into an iridescent, fiery tornado that rushed toward the Gatekeeper.
The Forbidden Realm Gatekeeper took the tornado of Magic Fla to the face. The heat instantly seared its eyes shut, throwing off its aim.
From within the flas, a white light shot out like a bolt of lightning.
The long spear.
Mountain Power Stab.
Straight for the Gatekeeper's throat!
