The Ultimate Evolution

Chapter 1787

Sheyan"s body shone with the party skill "Gloryheal". He instantly chased after the unfortunate Lamb.

There was no need to track him at all.

Wherever Lamb pa.s.sed through, he would leave behind phlegm and purplish blood that carried a thick amount of viruses. Occasionally, handprints stained with pus and blood could also be seen on the buildings along the way. Lamb had covered his mouth with his hand while he coughed and left handprints on the walls when he steadied himself while running away.

Normally, just to be safe, Sheyan would keep the "Pestilence Monarch" aura active whenever he walked on the streets or in public places. Anyone infected by the "Pestilence Monarch" aura would enter the incubation period. But if the "Stairway of the Sun" did not trigger the viruses, the spores of the viruses would soon wither by themselves, even in ordinary people. Anyone who broke away from Sheyan"s viral range would naturally become fine again.

However, Sheyan was certainly not someone who would let his enemies walk away unharmed!

Those unfortunate fools had already stayed under his viral aura for....a full eighteen minutes now. That is to say, there had been an eighteen-minute incubation period for the viruses. Although these fools appeared normal on the outside, the germs replicated by the viruses had already penetrated into their organs and limbs!

Those unlucky fools did not display any symptoms, but their bodies right now were like s.h.i.+ps that carried more than 10,000 tons of load. Those s.h.i.+ps may seem safe -- the captain, first mate, second mate and third mate were all in position and the s.h.i.+ps could even sail at full speed -- but Death"s sickle were already on all their necks, ready to reap their lives at any moment....

Lamb"s stumbling figure could be seen ahead. Sheyan must admit that Lamb"s movement speed was much faster than his own. If it wasn"t due to the fact that Lamb was frequently forced to stop to cough and catch his breath, Sheyan would never catch up to him.

The reason why Sheyan was pursuing Lamb was because there happened to be more enemies in this direction. Lamb"s party and the Incantators of Destruction were all in this area, while the rest of the a.s.sailants were scattered in different directions.

Unfortunately, those who suffer from Sheyan"s diseases would soon lose their symptoms and recover completely if they leave the effective range of the "Pestilence Monarch", so Sheyan of course had to choose the direction where there were more people.

In addition, the "Grudge" curse ability was of considerable threat to Sheyan. If this power could not be controlled by Sheyan, then Sheyan definitely had to destroy it!

"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is actually still alive! **cough** I guess this sudden outbreak of diseases must be his work," Lamb"s face was already half twisted. He gasped violently, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d actually has dual-specialties! And he actually broke through to an Awakener in the midst of the battle! What"s more, from what I could see, the strength of his equipment completely overshadows our own! Normal Awakeners are no match for him at all! Our party may still be able to go up against him, but definitely not after having fought a tough battle! **cough, cough** There"s no point in fighting any more, KD. No matter how rich the rewards are, we still have to be alive to enjoy them!"


KD was also caught in a violent coughing fit and could not give Lamb any reply. But at that moment, Pryzbilla, who was lying near the windowsill, his face red with fever, suddenly stared wide-eyed at something. He shouted in a hoa.r.s.e voice, "Lamb, Lamb! That guy is catching up to you!"

Pryzbilla"s line of sight could cover most of the battlefield from that spot. When Bosch was flung away by Sheyan, Pryzbilla"s gaze had involuntarily followed after Bosch. That brief moment of s.h.i.+fting his attention away was enough for the guy called Seaman to disappear from his sight.

To Pryzbilla"s surprise, when he found Seaman again, the man was already within a hundred metres behind Lamb. Seaman looked like a winter wolf who was almost dying of hunger, hunting Lamb down quickly and quietly while eyeing Lamb"s flesh with greedy eyes.
(TL: Pun intended.)

"d.a.m.n it, why did I use up all my "Chill of Resentment"s! **Achoo**" Pryzbilla muttered to himself while gritting his teeth. However, his hands were not idle. He quickly loaded the magic crossbow with a fiery red crystal as big as a thumb. The strange thing was, the crystal was frantically struggling. It even screamed in agony during the loading process.

A chill immediately crept down Lamb"s back when he heard Pryzbilla"s shout. He could not stop himself from looking back. When he did, his hands trembled involuntarily, because he saw the eyes of the enemy behind him. Sheyan"s eyes were deep, like they contained an endless darkness, like they were a deep well that would suck away his soul!

This abnormality lasted for only a few seconds before Lamb came back to his senses. However, he did feel something abnormal still. He found that his running speed had significantly reduced, while the enemy in the rear had gotten faster!

This was the effect of Sheyan"s "Hunter"s Eyes". By the time Lamb ran 30 meters further, Sheyan had already caught up to him, and was within less than 10 meters of him. But at that moment, a strong sense of crisis washed over Sheyan. He looked up and saw the ruthless expression on the face of Pryzbilla, who was aiming at him from a distance. He also saw the magic crossbow, with its mysterious and magnificent glow. Sheyan immediately crossed his arms in front of himself in a defensive posture.

The loud howl of a fierce fireball resounded through the air. A strange blue fireball with a diameter of at least two meters shot forward at an insane speed, like a comet! It hit Sheyan head-on with a deafening "bang"!

The brilliant blue completely occupied all of Sheyan"s senses in an instant. A terrible heat engulfed him, as if he had fallen into lava, burning his hair and his eyebrows. The sound of the explosion made his ears buzz. He was knocked more than five meters back by the explosive force.

A blue flame surged like an ocean wave and immediately submerged Sheyan in it. Some blue flames even burrowed into the blood vessels on Sheyan"s arms like leeches, roasting his flesh and skin from within.

"What a powerful force!" Sheyan could not help but be wary.

"Fortunately, the enemies have been suffering from my diseases for more than ten minutes and have also used up all their strong abilities, so they"re already arrows at the end of their flight. Otherwise, I can only run for my life against such a party...."

When he thought of this, a malicious smile broke out on Sheyan"s face.

"All the more reason to kill you now. Do you expect me to let you recover so that you can come back and kill me? Magic crossbow, good, very good!! So it"s you that blasted Mogensha into pieces of ice and dust. Now I know who to go to for revenge!"

Sheyan noticed small black spots emerging on his skin inside the blazing fire. They were very inconspicuous when they first appeared, but they soon became vivid and distinguishable. They were tiny, black charred spots.

These black charred spots soon converged and rushed across his skin like a tide. A pungent smoke rose, full of a scorched odour! Sheyan"s HP also dropped like a waterfall, but the rate of decline was still considerably stable.

"Oh? So after it bombarded me, there would be a paralysis effect, and a sea of fire will continuously burn around me?" Sheyan immediately planned to jump aside to avoid sustaining the continuous damage, but right then, a strong wave of mental energy a.s.saulted him.

His ankles suddenly felt so heavy that it seemed as if there were a hundred kilograms of weight tied to them. Next, he felt something tighten around them. When he looked down, he saw that large rocks had grown out of the ground to lock his feet up like a shackle, fixing him in place. Sheyan could not move his feet at all.

"This should be a support type spell. It"s a shame that Kulutego"s power can"t transmit this far, or this would just be a piece of cake for him!" Sheyan realised that he could not avoid the continuous damage, so he held his head in his arms and simply let the flame wantonly burn his body.

That was Sheyan"s barbaric response to the attack. He was probably the only MT who dared to gamble using his HP!

Pryzbilla was even more upset when he saw this. "d.a.m.n it, if it weren"t because I"ve spent too much MP, you would be dead!" he said through gnashed teeth.

He coughed violently. He suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He immediately took out a pearl-like object and called out to KD, "Lend me a hand, KD!"

KD took a deep breath and poured his MP into the "pearl" as fast as he could. Pryzbilla gritted his teeth and once again loaded the magic crossbow!

This kind of shooting frequency was obviously too fast for the magic crossbow. Terrible wounds appeared on Przybilla"s hand as a result. The crossbow string was instantly soaked in blood. It was evident that Przybilla was doing this at a considerable cost. But he ignored that and aimed at the enemy again.

A glowing thing shot out. It looked exactly like a smaller version of a comet that was cras.h.i.+ng down to earth.

Sheyan did not dodge, nor did he fall into a defensive posture. He simply stared back at them with a weird, mocking look. The lethal attack which KD and Przybilla joined hands to produce came roaring, then noisily went away. It flew past Sheyan more than five metres away from his head. Finally, it emitted a flash of light in a building six hundred meters away and...was no more.

The look on Przybilla"s face proved that he had just committed an error many snipers would frequently commit -- his aim was off. This was not because Sheyan was lucky. It was because the "Headache" effect caused by the virus had mutated into: "Hallucination".

[ "Hallucination" - There is a certain probability of the enemy experiencing hallucinations, and thus missing the next attack. ]
