Another 150 points. If I carry on like this, my points are almost there already!
Feng Luo turned the Barrett to aim at the metallic skeleton-looking Hunter T-750. Much of his metallic structure had been revealed due to his disguise skin being burnt by the continuous flames.
There was another 300 killing points up for grabs here. If claimed, the 1500 killing points for unlocking the Pet s.p.a.ce Bracer would be met!
The T-750 had walked out of the burning vegetation with his head already turned in Feng Luo’s direction. The two blinking red dots under his sungla.s.ses were already very clear under the darkening sky.
The Hunter had no reaction when he saw the dead Fire Manipulator laid on the gra.s.s nearby. After all, this combat robot was designed purely to kill, and it did not need any simulation system of human emotion.
“Mm! When selecting targets, the priorities of its combat program will be to first finish off the targets who attacked it, then search for the people whose points are in the top 24.” Feng Luo looked through the Barrett’s scope, coming up with this conclusion from the reaction of the Hunter T-750. This must have been the reason why T-750 had been chasing Flaming Blazing Flames previously and had not switched its attention to him immediately.
“This is clearly an aspect I can make use of!” Feng Luo’s eyes shone with a spark but he did not rush to fire. There was a reason for this.
“Ha! Eat my s.h.i.+eld!”
From inside the bush area which Flaming Blazing Flames had attempted to escape into, Big Pineapple’s silhouette suddenly charged out, targeted at T-750. He held the reddish-black Alloy s.h.i.+eld in hand.
With Charge engaged, although he was carrying an Alloy s.h.i.+eld, Big Pineapple was extremely fast. In just two seconds, he was already right in front of the Hunter T-750!
Big Pineapple heavily smashed his reddish-black s.h.i.+eld on the Hunter T-750 who was still rooted to the spot.
Bam!
A huge force burst violently on the s.h.i.+eld. The tall and burly Hunter T-750, which was an almost fully metallic structure, was sent flying by Big Pineapple’s attack. The Hunter was heading uncontrollably toward the sea of fire that was still burning behind him.
Big Pineapple’s attack had left more of its metallic skeleton disfigured and damaged. This powerful attack was a Rare skill which Big Pineapple had unleashed before on Silverleaf Island when facing a Commander-Grade giant python. The skill was s.h.i.+eld Punch and it would allow Big Pineapple to carry the momentum acc.u.mulated from charging while carrying his s.h.i.+eld. Once he struck the target, he would be able to convert all this power to inflict damage instantly. The further the distance of the charge, the higher the damage caused would be. With enough distance, it could even hit an explosive power of a few thousand, immediately finis.h.i.+ng off some vulnerable professions.
The only disadvantage was that it was actually difficult to hit when facing players, as players would be avoiding him at all costs. However, the control program of this T-750 clearly did not have the words “dodge attacks”.
As such, the metallic body had been directly hit by Big Pineapple’s attack slammed back into the sea of fire which had not yet been extinguished. As it landed, the Hunter stirred up a whole cloud of black ash which rose into the air.
“Has it been destroyed?” Big Pineapple popped his head out from behind his s.h.i.+eld, looking forward to the effect of his Rare skill which Familiarity level he had already raised to Expert level. However, it was soon clear that he would be disappointed with the outcome.
The T-750, which was still able to move after falling onto the ground from a height of 300 meters, which had needed Feng Luo to use the Barrett together with Energy armor-breaking bullets and needed at least two shots. .h.i.t at the same spot to be able to be significantly damaged, certainly would not lose its combat power just with this mere slam.
Thus, in the next moment, from within the sea of fire, the tall and burly black humanoid silhouette was already gradually standing up. The sungla.s.ses on its face had already fallen to the ground, revealing the skeletal eye sockets with blinking red dots inside the two black holes that had emerged due to the skin being already burnt away.
Raising the Alloy Longsword in its hand, this Hunter T-750 immediately charged right at Big Pineapple. Its combat speed was not slow, and it reached Big Pineapple’s side with just a few steps.
The Alloy Longsword was swung by its mechanical arm and slashed at Big Pineapple with a vicious whoosh and an afterimage.
“F*ck!” Big Pineapple cried out, quickly pus.h.i.+ng his Alloy s.h.i.+eld with both hands to block the attack.
Chiang!
The astonis.h.i.+ngly powerful Alloy Longsword struck the reddish-black Alloy s.h.i.+eld, producing sparks of violent friction between metal.
Big Pineapple who had not been able to engage “Immovable Mountain” was sent staggering a few steps backward by the force of the attack.
A “-795” HP-reduction number appeared above his head.
But a little unexpectedly, after absorbing the forceful slash, only a shallow dent had appeared on the reddish-black Alloy s.h.i.+eld in his hand. It seemed like there was not much damage.
“Hey hey!” A wretched smile of satisfaction appeared on Big Pineapple’s face. This s.h.i.+eld in his hand was a quality piece of equipment he had always kept up his sleeve.
When used in complement with his S-Grade talent, even if it was facing a Rare longsword with an extremely high attack coefficient in the hands of the top Light Armored Warrior, it would be unlikely to be broken with three, or even with five, slashes.
However, at the thought of having used an entire 500 killing points to “unlock” this s.h.i.+eld and having to lose this high-priced super quality s.h.i.+eld if his mission had really failed, Big Pineapple’s face turned into a look of worry about his gains and losses.
“Old Feng, you must give me some strength!” When Big Pineapple was muttering under his breath, Feng Luo was staring at the battleground with full attention.
The Barrett’s muzzle was always moving in order to continuously track the silhouette of this Hunter T-750, but his finger resting on the trigger had never pressed down. He needed an opening, an opening created by Big Pineapple for him to be able to attack the control chip that was heavily protected in the opponent’s back.
“What the f*ck?”
In the middle of the battleground, although Big Pineapple’s first heavy slam attack with his s.h.i.+eld had caused the T-750 a fair degree of damage, it had also triggered its vengeance.
The violent attack of the Hunter meant that Big Pineapple was extremely vulnerable. Even if he were a Light Armored Warrior with enhanced overall power, he probably would not be able to win in close-combat with a robot. As a Heavy Armored Warrior, Big Pineapple was vulnerable when coming under attack. Fortunately for him, his strength was also in coming under attacks!
The damage reduction of the s.h.i.+eld in his hand was extremely high. Together with the “Wrath of the Stone Lizard Ring” and the “Will of the Black Stone”, the two Rare-Grade rings in his possession, the damage he could bear far exceeded that of normal Heavy Armored Warriors.
Thus, even though he was facing this T-750 with immense close-combat attack power, he was able to last for a period of time. He would only be able to finish off the Hunter with Feng Luo. Everything depended on his performance!
Ping!
Big Pineapple had managed to get the Hunter T-750 to turn so that the side of his body faced Feng Luo. The Hunter’s Alloy Longsword was raised high in the air about to slash down on Big Pineapple when the Barrett’s signature m.u.f.fled gunshot finally sounded once again.
An Energy armor-breaking bullet carrying behind it a trail of pale blue fire was sent spinning at high-speed under the already darkened sky as it was aimed at a small area revealed by T-750’s raised arm!
