The Ultimate Evolution

Following the sirens, ma.s.sively profound metal sluice gates pounded down behind the contestants . This was probably the contingency measure for a biohazard leakage contamination .

Consecutively, Hammond led a few of his men and sprinted into a transparent room that appeared rather fortified . Moreover, the room was sealed up which isolated their scent .

Hammond also sprayed a unique concocted mist and further ensured the emerging beast wouldn"t target them first .

Madness and hysteria filled the scientist"s eyes . He was shockingly holding a mug of dense and creamy meat paste in his left hand . After a gulp, he exposed his blood soaked teeth and spoke calmly into a microphone .

“Accept your tragic fates you powerless sc.u.ms!”

The liquid inside the cultivation tank rapidly declined . The various electrical lead lines along the walls came off and the surrounding lights were dimmed .

The contestants gaped in horror as an astronomical and sinister silhouette rapidly emerged . It was clearly dissatisfied with the abrupt discontinuation of flesh juice, and released an unprecedentedly terrifying roar .

Then, it raised it long arm with claws and swiped forth ferociously!

In the blink of an eye, the gla.s.s that could guard against a sniper shot shattered as shards fell onto the ground . The gla.s.s seemed ordinary to this monstrosity .

A second later, the beast jumped onto the ground releasing a seismic wave akin to a t.i.tanic plane cras.h.i.+ng heavily onto the ground .

Innumerable cracks fissured through the bright and clean ground, as the beast released an unending stream of hysterical roars .

Under the dim lighting, one could connect the shape of this beast to that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex . However, its leather was oddly pink with helix stripes . Probably due to it being an incomplete experiment, its head appeared like an alligator and its neck was unusually long .

Such a figure could easily clamp down and munch its prey"s neck . Furthermore, the metallic s.h.i.+mmering claws growing from its limbs caused one to palpitate in fear, and its crudely thick tail concealed an explosive might .

Yet strangely, at the abdomen of this biohazard beast, was unexpectedly a growing human head . This head only had 3-5 sporadic hair that were pasted together into a hideous mix . Examining the features of that head, it was unexpectedly very similar to Hammond"s .

The human face was filled with wrinkles, and even had two dinosaur arms beside him . His skin was shaded in a creamy yellow shade .

On first look, one would think this beast resembled an amplified kangaroo with a pocket that stored a human within . Only after careful observations, would one realize the two were actually joined together .

Mogensha spoke into the party channel .

“I can"t probe out its stats, the power disparity between us is too great . ”

Instead, Zi suddenly retrieved a camera like equipment and captured several shots of the beast . Within a second, she exhibited out its statistics .

[ Description: This freak of a beast is a biological experiment construct modulated with mad scientist Hammond"s own sperms, a dinosaur egg and other specimens . Its completion rate isn"t very high and hasn"t matured fully in the cultivation tank . Therefore, its beastly instinct will usually cover its intellect . However, your gravest error is to be negligent because of that . The dreadful deadliness of a tier-7 legendary creature is absolutely not something you can imagine ]

Observing the list of notifications, Sheyan eventually heaved a sigh of relief .

“Seems like Zi"s decisiveness was correct . The earlier we prevent this beast from maturing, the earlier we can drive a blade through it!”

Notions flashed through his mind as he sounded out .

“Zi . ”

Little did he know, Zi coincidentally called out simultaneously .

“Seaman . ”

The two were shocked but Zi earnestly urged .

“You speak first . ”

Sheyan disregarded formalities and bluntly suggested .

“Your mission isn"t to eliminate this beast . ”

Her lips immediately curled into a smirk . Coincidentally, it was what she thought as well and she immediately replied .

“Therefore, our emphasis shouldn"t be on the beast . ”

Sheyan continued .

“Thus, our objective is merely to toy around and seize an opportunity to break out; to directly settle Hammond . ”

After establis.h.i.+ng a mutual understanding, the Biohazard Rex roared menacingly and stomped towards the contestants; sending tremors with each step it took .

Without hesitation, Brother Black aimed at the human head at the Rex"s belly and pressed his trigger . A chain of fiery streaks bolted out, instead, the human face revealed a crafty smirk as it guarded its face with his dinosaur arms .

Bullets collided into the metallic t.i.tanium of its claws, creating sparks as the bullets ricocheted away .

Pop! Concurrently, Mogensha had already prepared his rifle grenade and fired off . A spirally grenade catapulted in and with a thunderous boom, exploded at the Rex"s belly . Its claws couldn"t guard against the engulfing inferno and smoke .

The Biohazard Rex"s main dinosaur head roared furiously; stomping forward, it attempted to swipe a claw at Mogensha .

Mogensha managed to dart away in the nick of time, as an incomparably incisive claw sc.r.a.ped profoundly across the steel floor . Instantly after, the Biohazard Rex spun and released a sweeping tail at Brother Black . The tail was as long as two metres and Mogensha couldn"t dodge in time .

But at this moment, Zi executed a "Force Collision Wall" which collided into the Rex"s gigantic tail .

Its horrifying brute strength instantly created five cracks along the "Force Collision Wall" . Still, the wall managed to delay the tail for 0 . 5 seconds, which allowed Reef to charge in front of Mogensha with his "Courage" ability .

Reef raised his dark-gold grade s.h.i.+eld and quickly guarded Brother Black .

A crudely thick tail smashed into Reef"s s.h.i.+eld as dark-golden brilliance beamed out in all directions . Although the impact didn"t send Reef flying, it still knocked him 5-6 metres back .

Even MT Reef couldn"t help but cough out blood . After all, the Biohazard Rex was a Tier-7 legendary creature, albeit possibly the weakest tier-7 legendary creature in history, it was still an existence that only Awakeners like Zeus could counter; an entire realm above Reef!

Not everyone could be like Sheyan, who was perverse enough to contest monsters an entire realm above himself .

After being struck backwards, Reef immediately reported the damage he sustained into the party channel .

“486 points . ”

Brother Black nearly fainted from hearing this figure . With his current HP, a single sweep would inevitably land him in a near-death state!

Following that, the Biohazard Rex buried its head and pressed its claws onto the ground . Like a charging ox, it borrowed its monumental momentum and stampeded forth to headb.u.t.t Reef and Brother Black .

In this instant, Sheyan quickly hurled out a "Curse-mix" . Although it failed to disrupt the Rex"s charge, the poison fog still created a 25% movement speed reduction effect .

With this buffer, Brother Black and Reef succeeded in darting aside, and in the next second, they felt as though a high speed train had zoomed past them by a hair"s breadth . The Rex then collided heavily against the steel doors 40 metres away .

Thump! A sonorous rumble resounded and cause agonizing looks on the humans" faces . Dust scattered down from the ceiling as several other beasts in nearby cultivation tanks begun struggling violently .

The Biohazard Rex shook its head incessantly after suffering from the violent impact .

Seizing this opportunity, Brother Black and Zi frantically attacked . Two viperwolves were soon summoned as they chomped in voraciously!

The viperwolves" a.s.saults seemed to be extremely effective, ripping out deep wounds with every swipe with a claw, and every munch, as blood gushed out crazily .

Sheyan immediately recalled the negative property of this Biohazard Rex . Its scales weren"t grown yet and thus, sustained 300% additional damage .

Thinking of that, he instantly gained an insight and called out to Mogensha .

“AK, don"t aim for its eyes or other vitals . Just shoot at places it can"t easily guard against! This beast receives 300% of the damage, we just need to ensure it receives damage!”

As for Sheyan, he obviously wasn"t idling . He had dashed to the transparent room the mad scientist Hammond was hiding in, and bending his body, he slammed viciously against the door .

Instead, a second later, Hammond and his researchers started laughing hysterically . With a flash of a blue light arc, Sheyan was bluntly blasted away where his muscles begun convulsing involuntarily . It wasn"t due to pain but spasms from a high voltage shock!

As it turns out, Hammond was well prepared and this room was guarded with a high voltage shock mechanism .

Although Sheyan was rather valiant, this electric shock reduced his HP wildly to 60% in a flash, and even landed him in a paralysed state .

Inside the room, Hammond"s eyes flickered with excitement . He took another disgusting gulp of meat paste and continued his deranged signing .

“Oh~ I love the sound of electric currents tearing apart muscles . This mutant truly has an obstinate vitality, surviving after receiving such a high voltage electric shock . Such endurability is worthy of comparison to a powerful dinosaur . But if you dare to act on impulse again, I must say you may end up as a burnt c.o.ke……perhaps you should be grateful for my kindness? After all, I allowed you two choices; to be swallowed by my kid or shocked into a burnt c.o.ke!”

Fortunately, the Biohazard Rex"s attention wasn"t placed on Sheyan now . Otherwise, with his few seconds of paralysis, it would suffice to tear him asunder and toss him into its insatiable belly .

After regaining mobility, Sheyan quickly activated his party skill – "Gloryheal" !

He took a deep breath and ignored Hammonds . Pulling out his "+7 West" he charged towards the Biohazard Rex .

By now, the Rex had slaughtered a Viperwolf with a simple swipe of its claw . It severed the wolf in two before piercing half the viperwolf"s carca.s.s with its sharp nails . Then, it munched the wolf vehemently as viperwolf blood squirted everywhere, and cruel sounds of bone fracturing pierced into the contestants" ears .

Moments later, Mogensha had been pressed into a dead corner by the Biohazard Rex . Fortunately, Sheyan fiercely charged into the perilous crisis in the nick of time; brandis.h.i.+ng his saber, he barrelled towards the Biohazard Rex .

His oceanic-blue long saber screeched in as rocks scattered . After carving a long scratch along the metallic floor, his saber finally slashed for the human head at the Rex"s belly .

The human face was unfazed in the face of the blue s.h.i.+mmering blade . It stretched in its slim dinosaur claws and blocked Sheyan"s blade . When his blade struck the t.i.tanium claws, the slim claws unexpectedly unleashed a frightening strength .

Sparks scattered and blood splashed out!

In that split second, Sheyan sorely felt the vast disparity between 71 points of strength and 49 points of strength .

Sheyan"s perverted dark-blue weapon was actually recoiled away by bare claws . He tumbled backwards as both his arms turned numb . Unable to maintain his balance, his head knocked against the solid steel floor as blood streamed from his lacerated forehead .

Regardless of how freakish Sheyan was, as a mere contestant, he absolutely couldn"t challenge an existence equivalent to an Awakener!

Nevertheless, the Biohazard Rex didn"t get off scot free either . After all, the additional properties of his saber were truly appalling . Exempting the primary damage of the long saber itself, one must still factor in the defense negating penetrative property of the "+7 West", the true damages of Odin"s "Flesh Explosion", and the corrosive damages of Hydralisk acid from the "Shrivelled Tangerine" .

In addition to the 300% damage amplification, a few splitting wounds formed on the deformed dinosaur arm as purplish-black murky blood spilled out . Instantaneously, the human face emitted an agonizing shriek .

Naturally, the Biohazard Rex"s attention was now diverted to Sheyan, allowing Mogensha to slip away in time; rolling aside before leaping away like a fish .

Knowing he had poked the hornet"s" nest, Sheyan attempted to scramble away . However, after the human face emitted its agonizing shriek, it widened its mouth and revealed a crowded set of white teeth .

Its mouth was exceedingly peculiar . It appeared like a short slit cut open by a scissors and one could faintly observe some intense reaction occurring within . It was as though boiling water was bubbling within and within a second, it spat out a regiment of horrifyingly repulsive saliva at Sheyan .

This saliva resembled a basketball . While flying in, the saliva abruptly combusted with creamy white flames .

Initially, it appeared rather small but metamorphosed into a ma.s.sive blazing fireball when it reached Sheyan . This mystifying fireball threatened to incinerate all hairs even from afar .

Even his sole broiled as though he was standing on a roasting pit!

Indeed, the experiment special ability – "Rotten Phosphorus Regurgitation" !

The ball of flaming saliva sped in so swiftly, Sheyan didn"t even get the chance to block .

Total suppression from an unreachable formidable realm . He couldn"t even react to the opponent"s attack!

Yet in this instant, Zi, whose might could be considered nearing that formidable realm, sprang into action . A "Force Collision Wall" barreled in and slammed into Sheyan"s body, knocking him 3-4 metres away .

Thus, the white fireball missed its mark . It carried on flying and eventually smashed into the bottom area of a large cultivation tank nearby . In no time, the extreme heat of this fiery fireball engulfed the foundation of the cultivation tank .

The vilest aspect of the "Rotten Phosphorus Regurgitation" ability, was the saliva that acted as an excellent fuel; as long as the saliva wasn"t burnt fully, the fireball could even continue combusting underwater!

Although that cultivation tank was incredibly solid, it couldn"t withstand the fiery temperature as cracks emerged amidst the inferno .

Piank! The gla.s.s shattered as fluids flooded out . Another incomplete biohazard beast had successfully escaped .

This biohazard beast was equally ferocious . Its physical structure suggested a hybrid between a Styracosaurus and a Tyrannosaurus .

Still, its body was filled with places that appeared like semi-liquid candle wax . Evidently, it wasn"t even close to maturing and was probably a half-completed specimen, that would perish after several minutes . Hence, it couldn"t feel pain and released a wild husky roar, before hobbling like a bison towards Zi .

Suddenly, Zi"s figure gently faded into the atmosphere and emerged by Sheyan"s side, ingeniously evading the attempt by the new biohazard beast .

After losing its target, the new biohazard beast fell into a ludicrous directionless charge . Its twin acute horns impaled deep into the Biohazard Rex"s body, sending the tremendous beast cras.h.i.+ng 5-6 metres away .

Blood instantly gushed out wildly from the 300% amplified wound of the Biohazard Rex .

Smelling the scent of blood, the Biohazard Styracosaurus roared avariciously with bloodshot eyes . In spite of that, the Biohazard Rex roared angrily kicked the Biohazard Styracosaurus rolling 7-8 metres away, before beginning a rapid charge towards it .

The biohazard hybrid immediately scrambled back up and spat out a deathly white beam!

The temperature of this underground research lab wasn"t high to begin with, and when that deathly white beam appeared, sounds of icicles condensing abruptly filled the air . A chorus of sweet-sounding freezing clinks drifted into their ears .

However, Reef, who was standing the nearest, felt his hands and feet turn rigid; as though the blood coursing through his vessels were freezing .

That white beam struck against the Biohazard Rex . In the blink of an eye, sparkling crystal ice started condensing on half of its body . Despite being semi-frostbitten, the Biohazard Rex still stampeded in with astonis.h.i.+ng pace .

It lifted its incredibly acute claws loftily and ruthlessly cleaved down .

Its descending claw was like an awe-inspiring great hatchet that could conquer any obstacle; a sensation of ravaging all powerful forces with a single claw!

It was akin to a lightning bolt that brilliantly crackled down from a sky of dark clouds!

The 3 metres long t.i.tanium arm of the Biohazard Rex cleaved down onto the Biohazard Styracosaurus, and directly carved out a portion of its skull . The claw continued with unstoppable might as it cut deep into the shoulder of the biohazard Styracosaurus, with loose hair floating into the air .

Amidst the blood and fury, one could vividly spectate through the beast"s wound, the deathly white color of its bones and various organs .

The Biohazard Styracosaurus released a mournful long groan, yet in the next second, the Biohazard Rex raised its long claw once again and viciously swiped down!

The Biohazard Rex"s claw was ruthless . Purplish-black blood squirted a metre up like a fountain from the Biohazard Styracosaurus" large wound . The piping hot blood splashed onto a crystal gla.s.s and slowly trickled down like molten lava .

Following that, the bloodthirsty Biohazard Rex frenziedly feasted on the Biohazard Styracosaurus .

Witnessing such a scene, the quartet felt as though they had spun a coc.o.o.n around themselves . Originally, they thought they could encourage the two to fight and benefit from the dispute, but to their shocking horror, the Biohazard Rex unexpectedly and speedily regenerated itself by feasting on its comrade!

Naturally, the gang quickly seized the chance to attack crazily . But they helplessly discovered that the Rex"s vitality regeneration was much faster than their combined a.s.saults .

“Darn it…how can we fight it?” Reef hatefully spoke .

They were already lacking in prowess, yet now, they still had to take caution in preventing damage to the surroundings; this included being careful with their own attacks and even hindering the Rex"s wild rampage to the environment!

Otherwise, a far worse off scenario may occur .

Yet while they were despairing in their hearts, Sheyan"s eyes suddenly flickered as he said .

“I know a way to accomplish the mission… . . however, Zi? Till now, I"ve only seen you pus.h.i.+ng out your "Force Walls", are you able to pull them in?”

Zi hesitated briefly and answered .

“I am but I don"t frequently use that, because I normally try my best to avoid a close combat situation . ”

Sheyan inhaled deeply and revealed a smile .

“Very well, then I have ninety percent confidence of tackling this . Let"s carry on battling!”

Upon completing the feast of the Styracosaurus, the Biohazard Rex recovered around 4/5 of its vitality, surpa.s.sing even that of the initial 75% at the start .

The contestant quartet continued tangling around with it, beating the Rex as it roared furiously . Nevertheless, the frightening 100,000 HP of the Biohazard Rex was akin to a mountain slapping in their faces . No matter how hard they tried, they couldn"t defeat it .

One could clearly fathom the weakness of Party Ace, sorely lacking in offensive might . Without the addition of a formidable Growth-Hunter like Zi, Mogensha and Sheyan who were still merely a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter and contestant respectively…… . even with the 300% damage amplification, they would still be inadequate .

Still, one couldn"t blame Sheyan and Mogensha . Honestly speaking, although Sheyan was saving up on free attribute points, the realm would at most evaluate him as a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter . As such, the normal scenario Party Ace should be in would at most be at the Growth-Hunter realm difficulty, and definitely not an Awakener realm difficulty .

It was only due to recent complications, that Party Ace consecutively encountered perilously difficult worlds, and frequently had to rely on brains to deal with the challenges . Of course, the phrase "large rewards with large risks" was applicable as well .

Without being thrown into near death situations in several worlds, it was absolutely impossible for Sheyan to reap such immense benefits .

As time went by, Reef and Mogensha each used their "Honorary Dosage Medicines" . Alas, the Biohazard Rex"s vitality still lingered above 50,000!

They refrained from shooting rats for fear of breaking the vases . Fearing the Biohazard Rex would shatter another ma.s.sive cultivation tank, Reef had to forcibly endure two white fireb.a.l.l.s in his face . If not, once the Biohazard Rex could feast on the experiment specimen, their painstaking efforts so far would go down the drain .

Just as Zi was gradually losing patience, Sheyan noticed an opportunity . He dashed straight in and slashed his saber towards the human face of the Biohazard Rex!

Although it blocked with its incisive claws, it still received grave damages as blood streamed down the pocket belly of the Biohazard Rex . The bloodied face appeared incredibly malevolent .

With a agonizing roar, the face controlled both claws and viciously thrust them towards Sheyan .

The first claw was blocked by Sheyan but the second pierced into his abdomen . Blood gushed out as the t.i.tanium claws impaled in with irresistible force and exited through his back .

Sheyan endured the pain as he pushed off with both legs, pulling out from his impalation in the nick of time; otherwise, the Rex would"ve diced him apart with its other gigantic claw .

After executing a backwards somersault, Sheyan clutched his punctured abdomen and landed; blood poured out profusely from his wound and formed a tiny blood puddle beneath his feet .

His brows were tightly knitted in anguish and his complexion turned deathly pale .

At this moment, the infuriated Biohazard Rex felt pain transmitting from its belly head . With a raging roar, it spun towards Sheyan and buried its ma.s.sive head before charging straight in!

There"s a saying; a dragon has its reverse scales and touching it will incur its wrath . Similarly, the Biohazard Rex"s reverse scale was the human face at its belly . Anyone who touched it, would face its unwavering wrath!

“Take cover!”

Reef was about to activate "Courage" and change in to protect, while Zi was planning to shove Sheyan aside with her "Force Collision Wall" . Yet in this instant, a composed and clear voice rung in their party channel .

“Don"t . ”

Simultaneously, Sheyan"s lips curled into an indescribably sneer . He stared at the Biohazard Rex"s eyes as though he was starting at his own tool .

The enormous Biohazard Rex stomped in frenetically . Even the air emitted mournful wails from ma.s.sive pressure of its charge .

Probably due to it being an incomplete experiment, it seemed to be slightly staggering while spearing in . This phenomenon enhanced its threatening demeanor . Actually, there was a logic to this . A huge truck travelling at a fast velocity was already pretty pressurizing, instead, a huge truck that was staggering from side to side while travelling at a fast velocity, would send pedestrians running in fear!

Sheyan half-knelt on the ground and watched the Rex with callous eyes, as though watching it running to meet its destiny .

“Come . ” Sheyan whispered with an invigorated and composed tone . “Even fate can"t bring me down, yet you want to?”

An awful stench a.s.sailed his nostrils as the astronomical head of the Biohazard Rex heavily slammed into his chest .

Instantaneously, his vision darkened and crackling fractures resounded from his chest bone!

Zi"s pupils instantly contracted as she yelped in her heart .

“He……is he trying to die???”

On the contrary, Reef abruptly announced .

“I think I understand his intentions . Zi, when I say go, you pull him back with your "Force wall"!”

While surging through the air, the terrifying damage had instantly plummeted Sheyan into near-death state . Fortunately, at this moment, his "Life-link" ability with Reef was immediately activated .

Two silver, curved protective layers unanimously formed over Sheyan"s and Reef"s body . They looked virtually impregnable .

Sheyan flew with astonis.h.i.+ng speed as he crashed heavily against a gla.s.s wall behind . Instantly, a field of wild dancing electric serpents was inducted .

As it turns out, behind him, was coincidentally the observation room where Hammonds and his researchers were hiding!

Although Sheyan was physically strong, he wasn"t of the same ma.s.s as a beast like the Biohazard Rex . Therefore, naturally, the Biohazard Rex couldn"t halt its momentum even after colliding into Sheyan, and continued stampeding forth .

By now, everyone understood Sheyan"s plan . He was actually aiming for this right from the start!!

In the beginning, a.n.a.lyze the charging pattern of the Biohazard Rex . Then, incite the beast"s wrath with his saber slash and allow it to skewer him . His attempt to flee, was merely to lure this beast into a particular direction .

Where Sheyan chose to land, was ingeniously the direction of Hammond"s observation room!

Blood streamed down incessantly from the near-death state Sheyan"s lips . Still, his gaze remained cutting and pa.s.sionate like sharp flaming daggers .

Loads of electric currents jolted across his body but failed to affect him at all . Instead, everything was poured onto Reef"s body .

As he groaned, Reef roared out .

“Zi!! Hurry and pull Boss back . Even I can"t sustain for multiple seconds with such deadly damages . ”

Zi"s lips were presently wide open and her complexion a little pale . This astonished look instead gave her a more girly beauty feel .

Fortunately, she quickly returned from her shock and wasn"t one to mess up . Within a second, pointed out her slender fair fingers and formed an obscure hook sign in mid-air .

Instantly after, a "Force Wall" formed behind Sheyan and swiftly pulled him inwards .

Undoubtedly, the rampantly charging Biohazard Rex remained utterly oblivious . With its head buried, it viciously collided into Hammond"s hiding location!

Deng! A thunderous thump resounded as the entire lab trembled . One could observe a distinct dent in the reinforced gla.s.s plate of Hammonds" observation room .

Still, the high voltage electricity wouldn"t discriminate and viciously shocked all invading perpetrators .

Dazzling blue currents jolted crazily and wrapped the head of the Biohazard Rex . Even such a redoubtable beast similarly suffered devastating damages .

The eyes of the human face at its belly were rolled back, and its dinosaur-human hybrid arms spasmed frantically . Sludges of diluted excrement leaked out its dinosaur a.n.u.s which released an unexplainably repulsive stench .

Under normal circ.u.mstances, a human would be sent flying from the tremendous energy influx once they interacted with this high voltage electric wall . Nevertheless, that was only for humans . If a ma.s.sive beast with astounding weight touched the high voltage electric wall, the springing force of the electric shock was utterly inadequate .

Hence, when the Biohazard Rex headb.u.t.ted into the electric shock wall, the total damage it sustained was simply unimaginable; what more, 300% of damage amplification?

Yet at this moment, the remaining lights of this lab s.p.a.ce flickered repet.i.tively . Naturally, under the incomplete state of this base, scarce power supply was still a huge problem .

In actual fact, Hammond knew of the scarce power supply and planned to resolve it . Actually, fuel pellets for a nuclear reactor was still being transported over . If there were no mishaps, the truck that Sheyan and gang saw earlier, was dispatched to pick up the final round of goods including that .

Following the rapid weakening of the electric shock, the berserking Rex eventually pulled its head out of the network of high voltage shock .

Its eyes were crimson red and traces of charred spots could be seen along its light red leather . Fissures could be seen along its leather which emitted a piercing burnt stench; the consequence of an electric shock .

Right now, it was submerged in its infuriated beastly instincts . With a crazy roar, it noticed the hiding researchers and flogged its giant tail against the room .

Logically speaking, there was still the incomparably st.u.r.dy steel alloy fence covering the gla.s.s . However, proceeded a ma.s.sive tail whip from the Biohazard Rex, numerous distinct cracks formed across the reinforced gla.s.s .

Once again, its tail spasmed from the electric shock but the threat was now distinctly lower .

Seeing the agonizing and senselessly savage Rex attempted to headb.u.t.t in again, a man in a black suit cried out to Hammonds .

“Doctor!! Inject the "Gene-destruct Compound" at once!”

The astounded Hammond was still trying to collect his breath as he replied vacantly .

“Ah bu…… . . but, those invaders aren"t dead yet!”

“Who cares! That blasted lizard has gone utterly bonkers!” The man in black suit howled in panic . “Eliminate it or we will perish with it . Kill it now and we still have a shot at survival . We can negotiate with them, after all, they seem to be humans!”

After speaking, the man in suit hastily s.n.a.t.c.hed Hammond"s cane . He quickly twisted the cane handle and out came a key, which he inserted into a socket and pressed a b.u.t.ton nearby .

Suddenly, two guns slipped out from the ceiling ahead of the observation room . After a blinding flash, one could observe two stainless steel syringe were injected into the Biohazard Rex"s body .

The syringe then forcibly pushed a maroon colored fluid into the beast .

In spite of that, the Biohazard Rex continued its reckless rampaging charge . Although the "Gene-destruct Compound" had been injected into its body, it remained like an out of control speeding truck; savagely slamming itself against the observation room .

Boom! Boom! Boom! Sonorous rumbles continued as the lights flickered incessantly and extinguished!

Brief seconds later, amidst the clamour, the emergency power system booted up and recovered the dim lights .

At this moment, one could observe the Biohazard Rex roaring in anguish while idling at its spot .

With the illumination of the restored lights, one could observe large amounts of hideous black veins spreading out from the injected spots of the beast . Like tentacles, the veins extended towards all muscles .

Concurrently, the Biohazard Rex begun strangely melting as viscous substance dripped down incessantly; as though it was a lighted candle .

At this moment, Zi"s stern voice commanded out .

“Everyone attack together! We must ensure its death is recorded in our hands . Even if the battle spoils are ultimately affected, it wouldn"t be as bad as nothing!”

Right now, Sheyan was recovering from near-death state . He panted heavily as vitality was quickly restored to him .

After a while, upon noticing the trembling state of the Biohazard Rex where it melted to the point of exposing bones, he drew his "+7 West" and lunged forward .

The impression he donned was like a famished wolf baring its fangs while pursuing bleeding prey!

Four metres away from the Biohazard Rex, Sheyan leapt up fiercely as he ferociously beheaded down with his oceanic-blue long saber .

Countless blood wounds covered the Biohazard Rex and its belly human face . The final blade slashed down from the dinosaur"s scapula all the way down its belly . In that instance, the human face including the Rex"s belly, was sliced opened!

Purplish-black blood and loads of murky green innards instantly spilled out .

The Biohazard Rex released one last drawn out roar and attempted to cover its belly wound . However, the slippery innards continued pouring out through the gaps of its claws .

Simultaneously, the battling contestants received the notifications .

[ You killed a Tier-7 legendary creature: Junior Biohazard Rex ]

[ You receive 5 achievement points ]

[ You receive 20,000 utility points ]

[ You receive 3 free attribute points ]

When the Biohazard Rex collapsed to the ground, it started dissolving rapidly and finally… . revealed a s.h.i.+mmering dark-gold key… . . as eyes popped out unanimously!

Zi couldn"t resist the urge to glance at it before she bluntly strolled to the side . Her arrogant personality disallowed her from partic.i.p.ating in loot allocation, and her only objective was to complete her d.a.m.ned mission .

Meanwhile, the scene of the observation room was extremely tragic . Alas, the Biohazard Rex"s brute strength far exceeded their imagination, breaking through and colliding around wantonly .

The man in black suit had been knocked into a pitiful distorted mess, with his legs wrapped behind his head . A profound concavity could be seen on Hammond"s chest and a baseball-sized depression on his head . Still, he wasn"t dead and allowed Zi to stroll over .

He pointed at her and pleaded with a trembling voice .

“Sav… . . save me, I don"t wish to die!”

Zi shook her head and answered indifferently . ”

“You can"t be saved . ”

Hammond breathed in heavily .

“Noooo, impossible… . . I"ve injected the dinosaur gene into myself . I possess the dinosaurs" vitality! Save me! Save me!!!”

While pleading, he grabbed Zi"s shoes tightly . When facing death, n.o.body would give up so easily .

Zi glanced at him insipidly and replied .

“I want that amber from you . ”

Hammond replied in shock .

“Wha… . what amber?”

Zi explained earnestly .

“That amber that seals the blood genes of dinosaurs, the amber that started everything!”

Hammonds gaze was starting to dim as he answered .

“It…it"s in my office . Y…you must ssave me……save me… . sav…”

Thus, the ambitious and talented scientist died . A lifetime of significant ups and downs, a truly lamentable character .

At this moment, Zi realized she was almost out of time and hastily rushed for Hammond"s office .

While running back, the contestants witnessed that due to the power crisis, many strange creatures in those cultivation tanks were stirred up . Some were beating frantically against the gla.s.s . Thus, the contestants didn"t dare to tarry either .

When back in the Hammond"s lab office of bas.e.m.e.nt four, they rummaged through the place and still failed to locate the amber .

After pondering, Zi said .

“To bas.e.m.e.nt 1! This is the Research Nexus . Entering it requires a stringent biochemistry precaution and sterilization . Apart from his main research work, Hammonds still need to take charge of administrative and construction affairs . He should be quite involved with such exterior matters, and for convenience"s sake, his office should be at bas.e.m.e.nt 1!”

Reef held no objections to Zi"s words but couldn"t help but asked curiously .

“Zi, why do you seem so familiar in this field?”

Zi smiled and chose not to answer Reef .

The four ascended the shaky elevator . Due to the poor emergency power supply, the elevator shook and made small dips occasionally . Fortunately, it managed to hold on till bas.e.m.e.nt 1 .

As expected, the contestant quartet located Hammond"s administrative office . Right on his office desk, an amber was employed as a wondrously exquisite ornament .

A gentle yellow glow sparkled out from the "Mosquito Amber" . The mosquito lodged inside appeared remarkably true to life as though it was capable of flying away . One could faintly notice a sliver or dark red at its stomach .

After traversing the gap of millions of years, it appeared like it was still alive before the gang .

A strong sense of reverence welled up in Sheyan"s heart, not a reverence for the mosquito in the amber, but the boundlessness and mercilessness of fate and time .

Time was indeed merciless . Yet fate, even after persevering for millions of years, still gave birth to life!

However, after obtaining the "Mosquito Amber", Zi suddenly turned away . Her slender shoulders undulated slightly as faint sniffles could be heard .

Everyone present understood the ordeal she had experienced . They entered this world as a large party striving for the "Mosquito Amber", yet when she finally acquired it, she was left all alone .

Grievances and hate; betrayals and deaths; Blade lights and sword shadows; all of it acc.u.mulated in Zi, a single woman bearing the weight of such crus.h.i.+ng pressure . The humiliation and grievance in her heart, congealing into beads of tears that rolled down .

While Zi was accomplis.h.i.+ng her mission, Sheyan was browsing through Hammond"s office and incidentally discovered a complete 3D map of his underground laboratory .

After examining it, he realized that Hammond had indeed adopted a mentality of breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats . There was only one entrance to this lab without a single escape route . This map would still be of use if Sheyan had obtained it prior to entering the underground laboratory, yet now, it was utterly obsolete .

Without courtesy, Brother Black and Reef activated the dark-gold key and summoned a treasure chest .

First, they obtained 100,000 utility points .

Then, it was Brother Black"s turn to draw an equipment . He reached his hand in and fished out a resplendent dark-gold radiance . It was a ball of radiance… .

A horcrux!

The horcrux of Hammond"s son was unexpected drawn .

[ Aberration Horcrux (rare) ]

[ Item rarity: Dark-gold ]

[ Usage effect: Usable on horcrux compatible weapon/equipment . Transforms into an equipment soul that raises the weapon/equipment"s grade ]

[ Warning: If the horcrux is not compatible with equipment, horcrux will break ]

[ Material: Spirit ]

[ Weight: 12 g ]

[ Description: A beast soul forged from a gruesome and maniacal method . A previous body of a hybrid between dinosaur and man, which explains its similarly warped soul ]

[ Description: When death plundered its flesh, its hideous and warped soul was separated . This horcrux leans towards the human side, inheriting Doctor Hammonds"s madness while inheriting his wisdom… ]

Frankly speaking, a dark-gold grade horcrux should be worth less than a dark-gold grade equipment . But considering the way the contestants eliminated Hammond"s son, it was pretty reasonable . The crazy beast was only killed due to them exploiting the high voltage electric shock and the "Gene-destruct Compound" . Hence, such spoils of war were only right and proper .

Following that, a silver storyline grade weapon surfaced .

[ Steelclaw ]

[ Weapon type: Claw/sword (if you possess the relevant pa.s.sive ability to enhance claw/sword weapons, it will be effective on this weapon) ]

[ Origin: Jura.s.sic Park World ]

[ Equipment rarity: Silver Storyline ]

[ Equipment condition: Exceptional ]

[ Material: Chitin + t.i.tanium + Dried tissues + Mitochondrion]

[ Addons: Handle ]

[ Weight: 20 . 4 kg ]

[ Usage requirement: Strength 50 points, agility 20 points, physique 60 points ]

[ Durability: 10/10 ]

[ Property: Damage 80 – 140 ]

[ Property: Acute – This is a natural weapon born from a fearsome beast of unrivalled might . When attacking an enemy, it will neglect 10 points of defence and transfer these defence points to yourself . Effect disappears after leaving combat state ]

[ Property: Cutter – The brutality and madness of this weapon will infect you . When dealing damage to your enemy (includes abilities), the enemy will be stung by fear, receiving 50 damage and 30% of this attack as blood loss damage within 5 seconds ]

[ Property: Extreme Hardness – This is an incomparably solid weapon . You can use it to block incoming attacks and significantly boost your chance of blocking . Boost blocking rate by 33% ]

[ Detail: Weapon"s durability declining rate decreases by 200% ]

[ Property: Rare – a powerful weapon crafted with precious rare materials . It will be much more expensive to repair this weapon! Each time of repair in the realm will cost 1000% of normal prices and extra achievement points ]

[ Ability: Aberration – The soul of this weapon will turn crazy upon activating this ability . Your strength will be boosted for the slaughter but causes you to receive a grave trauma . When dealing damage to enemy, 50% chance of dealing 1 – 200 points of true damage but similarly receiving 1 – 200 points of true damage ]

[ Detail: The full potential of this ability can only be displayed with the "Claw Weapon Fluency" basic ability ]

[ Description: Place this weapon near your eyes . You will hear the grievous roars of a trapped but powerful aberrant soul! ]

The properties of this weapon were undoubtedly a jack of all trades; combining offense, defense, negative property and positive property in one . Most importantly, was its property to greatly strengthen one"s blocking capability!

To Reef who uses a s.h.i.+eld, that was obviously an incredibly rare and compatible property . Bear this in mind, a dark-blue grade weapon that could enhance block chance by 5% could already fetch a valuable price . This "Steelclaw" offered a block enhancement of 33%!

This property alone could at least raise Reef"s chances of minimizing damage by over 15%, what more it could absorb 10 points of defense and transfer it to himself?

Furthermore, it required 50 points of strength and 60 points of physique to use . At present, only Reef was capable of using it .

Of course, Reef was exceedingly delighted to obtain this new weapon . Strictly speaking, this silver storyline grade weapon from a tier-7 legendary creature could already be considered top grade . Nevertheless, its flaw was that it didn"t enhance any basic attributes .

In Sheyan"s perspective, he definitely felt a little dejected while seeing his party members receiving new equipments repeatedly . However, he already possessed a peak rank "S" ability and a terribly invincible innate ability . This was more than enough of a foundation for him .

Regardless of how high a building towers or how beautifully designed it was, without an adequate foundation, it would still be a mere illusory mirage .

Furthermore, everything he had so far, was all created from his own hands .

Presently, Sheyan also acc.u.mulated a total of 16 free attribute points! His pure basic strength was at 32 points!!

This meant that with another 2 free attribute points, his would attain his primary goal; to reach the boundary breakthrough of 50 pure strength points!

Of course, when that happens, Sheyan would naturally meet with a tremendous challenge . The chasm between the realms of a basic contestant and a Growth-Hunter, one that Reef failed to pa.s.s!

Presently, Sheyan could roughly infer this .

Why was it that individuals that clearly weren"t Reef"s match could succeed the boundary test while Reef couldn"t? The realm wasn"t one to favour or discriminate individuals . This clearly showed that the test may be related with one"s psychological quality . As for Sheyan, he never felt a deficiency in that aspect .

Of course, Sheyan didn"t believe he understood all things clearly . Besides, the unknown future held lots of variations, and perhaps, an official MT upgrade was harder? Perhaps, one"s innate ability determined the test cla.s.sification as well? These were factors that may very well occur .

Still, he was exceptionally clear on one fact – “As long as others have pa.s.sed it, then I can definitely pa.s.s it!”

He never felt that he would lose to others .

This was Sheyan"s arrogance and his own confidence!

Consecutively, after Zi completed her mission, Sheyan received a notification from his nightmare imprint .

[ Will of Growth-Hunter no . 89912 (deceased) is effected: Growth-Hunter no . 4421 has completed her main mission and can return to the realm anytime . After returning to the nightmare realm, you can randomly draw an equipment, item, achievement points, or utility points from Growth-Hunter no . 89912 as your inheritance ]

According to conventional practice, the maximum buffer that realm would present after Zi completed her main mission, was half an hour . She could return anytime in this half-hour or be forcibly transported once time was up .

Once Zi chooses to return, the trio would be forcibly transported as well .

At this moment, Mogensha and Reef walked over . Brother Black was undoubtedly excited to upgrade himself with the dark-gold grade, "Versace Boa Pants", he obtained earlier, while Reef was keen to learn the ability, "Claw Weapon Fluency" . That ability scroll was rather uncommon and he definitely had to make several rounds around the marketplace .

Thus, with their hearts set on speeding home, they straightforwardly returned to the realm .

Following that, Sheyan glanced at Zi and asked

“Why aren"t you leaving yet?”

Her eyes were slightly puffy, which exhibited a lovely natural charm of a capable and valiant female warrior . Zi sighed and answered .

“I just accepted a continuation mission . ”

Sheyan frowned and asked .

“Why didn"t you say earlier, then Reef and AK wouldn"t have left . ”

Zi waved her hand and replied .

“Just a small mission which doesn"t need them . This mission won"t prolong my stay in this world as well . It"s called "Doctor Hammond"s will" . Before dying, he wish that someone will bury him, his beloved test tubes, and his daughter"s doll by the tiny lake outside . ”

After hearing about that mission, the pressure in Sheyan"s heart was lifted . The only concern for that mission, would possibly arise due to the power supply of this underground base, thereby releasing the other cultivation tank beasts . Still, they could only survive for a measly few minutes .

Therefore, Zi only needed to delay a little before going back to bas.e.m.e.nt 4 after all experiment beasts perished .

At present, a single man and woman interacting in a sealed office without any external pressure . A weird subtle feeling started to form, like a vague and unintentional connection rising involuntarily between two parties facing each other in Starbucks .

“Nearly there . ” Sheyan was still contemplating over many things in his heart; matters such as his break through of the 50 points boundary, drawing Demondream"s equipment or Zi"s future arrangement…

More importantly, he still felt as if he had overlooked something, but since this world was ending, everything became rather insignificant . Hence, he was feeling rather laid back while Zi felt more sentimental .

After his voice shattered the awkwardness of the atmosphere, Zi quietly proceeded to the bas.e.m.e.nt 4 lab . She then collected Hammond"s corpse as the two strolled out of this ma.s.sive base, and finally buried him by the lake .

Women were normally more emotional . As she faced Doctor Hammond"s grave, she remembered his talents, ambitions and twisted fate . Maybe she could connect her own life to this and couldn"t help but sigh softly .

Instead, Sheyan silently admired the scenery and soon received the notification from his nightmare imprint, reminding him to return to the realm . Thus, the alertness in his heart loosened .

However, as he spectated the main road winding past the green trees, he suddenly realized the source of his uneasiness . He immediately inquired of Zi .

“Zi, do you still recall how we entered this strictly guarded base previously?”

Zi was slightly startled . She didn"t know Sheyan abruptly raised this topic but still answered .

“Naturally, the employees were dispatched in a truck to receive a batch of goods at the "port" . Thus, they opened the gates themselves, otherwise, those enormous steel doors would really be an issue . ”

Sheyan sullenly continued .

“In this Jura.s.sic Park island, where dangers lurk in every corner, efficiency and safety is definitely the utmost priority . Considering the slow precautions put into loading and transportation, even with the time needed to disguise the truck, it would at most take an hour plus . It has been three hours since we turned this base upside down, yet that truck hasn"t returned yet!”

Zi hesitated briefly and suggested .

“Could it be that truck did return but fled after realizing something was amiss?…”

Speaking till there, she immediately overthrew her conclusion . The concrete route constructed for Jura.s.sic Park that year merely stretched till the side of the lake . Following that, there was hundreds of metres of a wet stony path before reaching the base . To lay the foundations for the base, the doctor had constructed cemented grounds here as well . As such, if the truck had returned and left again, there would inevitably be clear track marks along the wet stony path .

Still locked speechlessly in thought, Zi"s eyes suddenly flickered as she pointed to a distant area .

“Isn"t that the truck over there? Seems like it has broken down there . ”

Sheyan was a little baffled by that . If the truck had broken down, wouldn"t someone be fixing it? Or if they couldn"t, since the base was relatively near, wouldn"t they request help from the base .

In contrast, it remained immobile . A dinosaur raid wasn"t reasonable as well . After all, Hammonds had specially created drugs that could masquerade the truck from dinosaurs .

Contemplating over that, Sheyan naturally proceeded to investigate this mystery . After all, he was normally an individual of deliberate thoughts and besides, they were about to return to the realm soon . Zi casually followed him over .

Upon approaching, Sheyan noticed the the exterior of the truck was unexpectedly wrecked!

It was as though the truck had experienced an intense collision before falling over a cliff . Although truck"s frame was tough and remained relatively intact, seeing the wrecked extent of the truck, the pa.s.sengers of this truck would most likely have perished .

Sheyan hopped up the truck"s hood and carefully examined . He discovered the back of the truck was actually empty . However, the key was still inserted it and semi-dried blood had been splashed everywhere .

Sheyan frowned .

“You discovered anything?”

Zi bluntly replied .

“Missing corpses! There aren"t traces of dinosaur attack nearby but the corpses are missing . ”

Sheyan then closely inspected the exterior of the truck and sullenly spoke .

“The truck door is distorted and cannot be opened normally but look at this… . ”

When Zi observed where he was pointed, her heart instantly s.h.i.+vered .

Amidst the bloodstains of the interior door handle, there were even bite marks and chipped teeth! If the truck experienced a violent collision, the individuals inside would have suffered a concussion or dizziness, and their bodies would turn weak . How crazy must someone be to attempt biting a car handle to escape the truck???

If the truck was hanging by a cliff then fine, but clearly, it was halted by the roadside . Why did the pa.s.senger attempt to escape in such a frantic way?

Many outrageous and unimaginable thoughts flashed through Sheyan"s mind and linked up . He couldn"t help but inhale deeply, because, he could guess the reason behind all these madness!!!

As he was about to speak, Zi abruptly gazed over . Her eyes brimmed with melancholy, despair, anguish and a sliver of unwillingness .

“Do you still remember, a question I asked before?”

The puzzled Sheyan replied .

“What question?”

Zi glanced at him and explained with a sorrowful tone .

“I said, although you are pretty formidable now, you still can"t stand up directly to Zeus and Skull… . . ”

Sheyan chuckled in response .

“Yes, I remember clearly and my answer is, even right now, I still dare to confront Zeus and Skull! Perhaps I can"t defeat them, but they can"t deal with me either! … . ask that now, and my answer remains the same . Why?”

She shook her head .

She had complicated gaze of guilt and resentment .

She slowly answered .

“Because . Right now, you have to stand against them . I shouldn"t have take the continuation mission, in the end… . … . I"ve implicated you . ”

HIs pupils instantly contracted because at this moment, he sensed an immeasurably powerful pressure surging in from both east and west . Sheyan quickly exclaimed .

“We return at once!”

Zi shook her head bitterly . When Sheyan attempted to contact the realm with his nightmare imprint, he received a merciless notification .

[ Unknown error… . ]

[ Verifying… . ]

[ Estimated time of repair: 18 minutes 31 seconds ]

“Unknown error???!” Sheyan was astounded . This had nothing to do with returning to the realm, but this "unknown error" reminded him of the situation when his own innate ability conflicted with other abilities .

At this moment, a male with eagle eyes strutted out slowly from the eastern fern forest . Beside him, was a pet.i.te and ravis.h.i.+ng woman whose eyes brimmed with hate . Another herculean man sauntered out from the rocky west side, a man that emanated an aura of blood and steel!

Zeus, Skull!

Though Glory Party and Skull Party separated clearly like Jiang and Wei, approaching in from the east and west, one could notice a scheming unison involved!

Sheyan and Zi"s escape route was cut off . Evidently, they had reached a mutual understanding, blocking them off from even running into the wilderness of legend tier dinosaurs .

Such is fate, enshrouded in haze .

Just a second ago, Sheyan was absolutely secured . A second later, an ambush from two large parties . A pincer from two MTs" parties!

And beside Sheyan, was only a single Zi……

An immense oppression emanated out from Zeus, as his eagle eyes scanned through all notions in one"s brain .

Every trudging step he made was like a malicious shove, making one incapable of not retreating .

That was how tremendous his imposing might was .

To be able rival Zeus, Skull was extraordinary too . His herculean body of blood and steel felt as though needles were piercing into the enemy"s skin .

Seeing him similarly created a notion of fleeing at once .

Beneath their majestic pressure, the core members they led each filled up the gaps behind them . When they combined, enemies felt as though they were placed in a millstone to be grinded, a sensation of bones breaking .

Zi bit her lips tightly as her eyes flickered with unresignment . She wasn"t one to give up easily but facing such an aspect, all those those thousand and one methods to survive in her mind still ended up smacking against an unbreakable wall .

Indeed, Sheyan"s ploy was indeed splendid and even inflicted grievous losses to Glory Party"s prophet, Finarsih . Nevertheless, never did Sheyan expect, Glory Party would actually team up with Skull Party .

Indeed, Judas of Skull Party wasn"t at all inferior to Finarsih in this aspect!

If the two of them teamed up, in addition to the a.s.sistance of other mage type contestants, it was truly possible to temporary interfere with realm s.p.a.ce .

In actual fact, Zi"s "Skywalker Force – Strands of Time" ability was also a different tune that played to the same functionality . Since Zi could possess such a formidable ability, it wasn"t strange for the two of them combined to do so as well .

At present, Sheyan also noticed Sable who adopted a defeated countenance, looking as though he had aged ten years .

Sheyan was instantly enlightened . No doubt, he accepted the identical mission as Zi to locate the "Mosquito Amber", but since Zi accomplished it, that meant his mission was a failure . Moreover, the mission failing penalty was 50,000 utility points and a terrifying 20% deduction of all attributes!

Skull slanted his head and glared callously at Sheyan . He fished out a steel pipe and begun munching on it like a sugarcane, before angrily spitting out the steel dregs in his mouth .

“This puny weakling is responsible for our disastrous loss? Judas?”

Judas was currently adorned in a peculiar priestly garment . His skin and stooped figure curled up within the garment that even his hands weren"t exposed . Without a movement made, he leaned into Skull and spoke sinisterly .

“Yes, do you need to verify boss?”

After concluding, Judas retrieved a large transparent gla.s.s jar . To one"s surprise, the jar was carrying a head inside; a ghastly white brain where the top skull was peeled up . The features of this head could be vividly differentiated . It was indeed Lieutenant Colonel Wester whom Party Ace interacted with previously!

The Lieutenant Colonel"s head glanced at Sheyan and immediately yelled out with an otherworldly voice .

“It"s him, it"s him alright!”

While the Lieutenant Colonel was speaking, a shocking regiment of shadow flames pranced around behind Judas . It was a shocking sight to behold and the incorporeal pressure issued wasn"t inferior to Zi at all .

Skull stared at Sheyan coldly while munching on a steel pipe . He disdainfully said .

“n.o.body dares to play me, n.o.body can play me! Kid you are really not bad, using me like a chess piece . Therefore, I"ve decided to handle you with my warmest reception . I"ll trample you beneath my boots to appease the rage in my heart . ”

Sheyan seemed rather nonchalant as he offered a sincere smile .

“I"m waiting, really expectantly . ”

“HAHAHAHA!” Skull laughed wildly with his head raised . “Good guts!”

Meanwhile, Zeus was glaring at Zi . His eyes revealed an expression of personally shattering his own beloved vase . He sighed and shook his head before turning his back away .

Instead, the Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna, smiled conceited and mocked .

“Zi, I heard you love black tulips . On this day next year, I will make sure to send you one on your grave . ”

Zi gritted her teeth tightly . This was an unprecedented kind of despair for her . Even when her party members had all perished, while traitors attempted to claim her life, she still strived on to escape; ultimately finding a ray of hope!

Yet right now, surrounded by two redoubtable parties, two parties that were originally powerful MT rivals .

She finally felt that her path was exhausted, a limitless… . . despair .

A despair as dark as the abyss .

Don"t mention about her having Sheyan around . Even if the former Illume-union was here, her party would still face imminent annihilation!!!

At this moment, Skull seemed like he still wanted to say something and the Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna sneered and stepped forward .

When both parties were talking, they ensured a 250 metres gap between Sheyan and them . Not a centimetre more or less .

To the contestants, that was sufficient as a safety net . This was a suitable distance where the accuracy of both parties would be lowered substantially, and allowed agile type combatant 2-3 seconds of reacting .

Numerous negotiations between parties utilized this 250 metres rule as well .

Exceeding this distance, and communications may not be smooth where one couldn"t see the opposing hand gesture or expression well . Within this distance, and it was considered the danger zone that announced the commencement of battle .

With the Metals Professor step, she completely broke the equilibrium .

Concurrently, Sheyan bluntly tossed a flask of "Curse-mix" on the ground which created a 20 plus metres regiment of poison fog . He then pulled Zi"s hand and fled behind .

As for Sheyan"s fleeing direction, it was the only place without an opponent but also a dead end – the laboratory!!

Evidently, everyone could antic.i.p.ate this move .

Instantaneously, at least 5-6 agile Growth-Hunters from both parties pursued in speedily . Their speeds were incredibly astonis.h.i.+ng and some even above twice that of Sheyan"s movement speed .

The only fortunate news for Sheyan and Zi, was that all the long-range combatants were stationed at some vantage point far behind . They were placed to prevent the two of them from escaping towards the wilderness of powerful legendary dinosaurs, in case any unexpected move occurred .

Her slender arm pulled tightly by Sheyan, Zi involuntarily ran for 70-80 metres before regaining her sense . She prideful self flared up again as she coldly urged .

“Let go . Running just to live for another few minutes of humiliation, I"d rather fight to my death!!!”

Sheyan abruptly looked back . As Zi gazed into his eyes, her heart shuddered involuntarily!!

She hadn"t seen him looking so menacingly fierce before as she immediately kept quiet . She felt as though a domineering ferocious beast had trampled down tyrannically onto her very soul .

“Shut up!”

Sheyan inhospitably rebuked . Two words that n.o.body dared to say to Zi before . Still, Zi truly kept silent as she followed Sheyan in running away .

In spite of that, they were, after all, a mage type contestant and a tanker . Speed wasn"t their specialty and after 250 metres later, those flamboyant agile Growth-Hunters were catching up soon .

However, Sheyan revealed a sneer on his face .

All of a sudden, a chain of dark-gold brilliance flashed within his hand! That activation of a dark-gold grade item!

Seeing this scene, Skull roared out irritably .

“Judas! Didn"t you say he doesn"t possess a special realm returning tool?”

Judas exclaimed in appall .

“I-I don"t sense any s.p.a.ce fluctuation at all! Not good! They aren"t using a realm returning tool!”

Seconds later, a wave of incredibly dense dark-gold radiance soared to the sky . A t.i.tanic-sized leech appeared behind Sheyan as it exuberated a dark-golden radiance .

The leech landed coincidentally onto the poorly constructed stony road leading to the base . A round that had been compressed countless times by dinosaurs and trucks, and experienced innumerable counts of rain .

Did Doctor Hammonds not possess the funding or materials to construct a proper road? Definitely not . It was because he knew his traitorous behavior would soon be discovered, and a stony and muddy road like this was all in consideration . Enemy vehicles would naturally find it hard to advance against the base"s defence systems on this road .

When the t.i.tanic, gold radiating leech landed onto the muddy ground, it immediately stretched itself comfortably like a fish returning to water .

Sheyan raised his fist loftily which glowed with a blood brilliance which indicated the awakening of the leech"s "T-Virus Infection Outbreak" .

The swelled up Unbeatable t.i.tan Leech crashed down with a ma.s.sive splash damage . Furthermore, its attack now dealt an additional speed slowing effect for 10 seconds .

The few agility Growth-Hunters were undoubtedly veterans of the realm . Upon encountering an abrupt derivation, they simultaneously maneuvered away . Alas……in the face of ma.s.sive splash damage, evasion was futile .

A wave of peculiar attracting force hit their bodies followed by a slight numbing agony .

In consolation, though the Unbeatable t.i.tan Leech appeared destructively vile, its attack damage was disastrously low . Still, its speed reduction ability was a ma.s.sive contributor .

An agility Growth-Hunter retaliated with a slash, but the feedbacked data caused his energy and will to dissipate…… . ”this dark-gold t.i.tanic leech has freaking b.l.o.o.d.y 180,000 HP!!!”

Though the few agility Growth-Hunters were formidable, they were placed in a terribly awkward situation because of this vile dark-gold t.i.tanic leech . One must understand, for a normal party in the Resident Evil Hidden World, facing a dark-gold leech could be considered a difficulty realm for even top Awakeners!

(Author"s note: Someone calculated in the forum reviews before, the HP of the leech can theoretically attain over 400,000 throughout a stay in the world . Still, one must consider the cost of medicines and duration of nights… . . )

Hence, strictly speaking, this dark-gold Unbeatable t.i.tan Leech was a whole realm above them . Therefore, the leech struck with powerful accuracy as its mucus splash damage impaired their movement speed greatly . In the end, they could only spectate as Sheyan and Zi sprinted further away .

If only the long-range combatants of both parties were present . They could still snipe down the two frantically running contestants . Especially America"s public enemy, Aziz . If he was around, his firepower suppression would shred them both into smithereens .

During Glory Party"s and Skull Party"s mutual carnage previously, the long range combatants suffered miserably and thus an obvious gap in this field occurred . In other to form a perfect encirclement, Aziz had to shoulder immense responsibility over a wide span of ground . Thus, he was far ahead on a vantage point, and couldn"t rush over in time but only sigh powerlessly .

Seizing the buffer supplemented by the Unbeatable t.i.tan Leech, Sheyan produced an object from his personal storage .

This was a totally unplanned object, something he acquired by just being meticulous previously . It was an object that couldn"t be brought out of this world but unexpectedly useful right now .

It was shockingly a remote control!

The remote control obtained from Old Harry!

The remote control that controlled the opening or closing of the base"s main gates, the steel gates of incomparably hardness .

The gates constructed to guard against tyrannical high-tier legendary dinosaurs . One could imagine how reliably fortified it was .

After pressing the close b.u.t.ton, the sliding steel doors emitted deep chafing sounds and merged in slowly . Before this, Sheyan had nicely calculated the time, thus, when they squeezed through the ma.s.sive steel doors, it shut completely without any gaps . The gates blocked off all the morning sun rays, but also temporarily obstructed the pursuing foes .

“Ah, this isn"t the Zi I know . ” Sheyan climbed up and released a sigh . Noticing her expression of a smile yet not a smile, he asked . “Where did your unyielding arrogance go?”

Zi offered a sour smile and chose to keep silent .

Still, Sheyan refused to let her off and glared at her .

“You really believe we should despair? You"re really wrong . First, our goal is not to defeat them but to drag till we can return to the realm . That was 18 minutes and 31 seconds! Right now, it"s just roughly 16 minutes . Secondly, they possessed a deep hatred for each other, but allied with a shared objective which is us . This indicates they won"t" make concerted efforts but will guard against each other! Lastly, you"ve forgotten the most important thing . ”

The perplexed Zi helplessly raised her eyes and asked .

“What thing?”

Sheyan calmly answered .

“Me . You forgot I"m fighting alongside you!”

She suddenly composed herself after listening to him . Sheyan felt rather unpleasant, it was as if……his existence was merely here to puncture her fantasy, allowing her to face the cruel reality . In a flash, Zi recovered her icy demeanor and uttered .

“Your words are reasonable, but, how long do you think a gate can obstruct them? An hour? Or half? Ten minutes?? No! Not even five minutes . With Skulls" innate gift for dissolving metal, that gate will at most hold for three minutes! Then what? We are lost, there is no way out . Do you truly think we can last against them for 10 minutes?”

“It"s possible!” Sheyan refuted resolutely and decisively . “However, only if you follow my instructions unconditionally . ”

Zi wanted to reply but Sheyan prevented her from doing so .

“You haven"t trusted me fully even up till now, the sort of wholehearted, unconditional trust! Your loftiness has clouded your mind, common sense has suffocated your thinking; who told you I can"t fight against Zeus or Skull? Who declared I can"t deal with this crisis? You, and your stubbornness!! Don"t a.s.sume others can"t just because you can"t do it . Zi, not everyone is invincible, you must learn to trust and rely on others!”

Zi was blasted into speechlessness by Sheyan"s barrage of words

In this instant, he placed both hands on her slim shoulders and stared deep into her eyes .

A thing called ambiguous feelings swiftly fermented in the air .

An immeasurably intense surge of panic welled up in Zi"s heart, which translated into an indescribable throbbing that extended to her whole body . She attempted to retreat in panic, instead, Sheyan was extremely domineering and pulled her in with brute force…eventually, in the midst of her fl.u.s.ter, helplessness and terror, a pa.s.sionate kiss came in!

Lips and tongues connected as Sheyan"s tongue forcefully shoved through her teeth, plundering and ravaging her haughty lips . Her hands wandered unknowingly around as she started to feel incredibly dizzy, as though a velvety wind was gusting her up .

For a woman like Zi, a strength that surpa.s.sed hers was needed to break through her superficial toughness . Only then, can one enjoy the warmth and charm of this woman .

Since time immemorial, love remained unexchangeable where one"s dignity could be discarded!

This situation only lasted mere seconds, or perhaps an entire year…… . . boom!

An abnormal and sonorous boom shattered the atmosphere between them . A crunching sound echoed in from the metallic doors behind them . Evidently, Skull had started acting . He didn"t need to destroy the entire door but just a human-sized hole .

Sheyan observed Zi, her absent-minded gaze and the red lips he had just ravaged . He earnestly announced .

“From henceforth, if you wish to live, then obey my every word accordingly . ”

Zi couldn"t utter a single word as Sheyan"s pa.s.sionately blazing gaze pierced in . She lowered her head and nodded slightly .

Sheyan then commanded .

“Disband your Illume-union at once and join my party! Because, this will improve your chances of survival!

Zi hesitated . The Illume-union was her blood and tears . She had never thought of disbanding this party, but, but! She knew that the Illume-union will similarly go up in smokes if the creator died .

Thus, Sheyan received a notification from his nightmare imprint a second later .

[ Growth-Hunter no . 4421 has requested to merge her party, Illume-union (lvl 8), with your party, Party Ace (lvl 3 15/50) . Your party will be the mainstay ]

[ You can choose the following merger format ]

[ A: Acquire – Pay a fixed amount of utility points and achievement points to increase your party"s member limit from 10 to 20 ]

[ B: Annex – Pay a fixed amount of utility points and achievement points to randomly receive a special party skill of Illume-union ]

[ C: a.s.similate – No fees needed . Instantly transfer all of the Illume-union"s party experience points to Party Ace ]

Sheyan straightforwardly chose "a.s.similate" . Instantly, he received the following notifications .

[ Your party received additional experience points, party promotes from lvl 3 to lvl 4 . ]

[ Your party received additional experience points, party promotes from lvl 4 to lvl 5 . ]

[ Your party received additional experience points, party promotes from lvl 5 to lvl 6 . ]

[ Due to Silver Prestige Party special property, you received 6 party skill points which can be allocated onto your party skills ]

[ Your party promotes from lvl 3 to lvl 4, you can draw from the following to enhance your party ]

[ A: Upgrade your party to a medium scale party . Your party member limit is raised to 20 ]

[ B: Lower party experience points needed for the next level by 33% ]

[ C: Receive a Golden party Medal . When you acc.u.mulate 3 Golden Party Medals, you can inaugurate a promotion mission from Silver Prestige Party to Gold Prestige Party ]

Sheyan selected option "C" amongst the three options and obtained a "Gold Party Medal" .

After all, he could still compensate through other means if he forgo the other two options, however, option "C" was the only method to upgrade to a Gold Prestige party! He couldn"t compensate that with other means .

As for the 6 party skill points, Sheyan repeatedly invested them into "Asylum" as part of his plan .

When "Asylum" attained level 5, it provided an additional 200 HP/MP for party members . After being raised to level 7, it boosted 310 points of HP and MP!

Then came the level 7 random bonus, where Sheyan drew a special property that provided another 100 HP and MP .

This meant that party skill "Asylum" at level 7 could provide a maximum 410 points to a party member"s HP and MP! This was an exceptionally terrifying achievement .

Still, Sheyan was not satisfied . He was still left with 4 party skill points, and planned to go all in to upgrade party skill "Asylum"

Instead, he realized that after upgrading it to level 7, it now required 3 party skill points to reach level 8 . Nevertheless, it offered an astonis.h.i.+ng increase of 150 HP and MP!

Right now, Sheyan couldn"t care less about other matters . For him, HP and MP would undoubtedly play a critical role and were also pivotal in the future as well .

After upgrading "Asylum" to level 8, the skill boosted a full 560 points of HP and MP to party members . Such a shocking bonus was tremendous even for existences like Growth-Hunters!

Except, it would be exceedingly arduous for others to attain this accomplishment .

Firstly, it required an official military Lieutenant contestant to establish a new party, which was at first, a measly 10 men strong small scale party . Almost 95% of contestants would fall short of this requirement already .

Secondly, the party establishment mission result must be excellent, which barely 10% of that could qualify .

Following that, though a Silver Prestige Party was immensely formidable, its party leveling speed was excruciatingly slow . Yet coincidentally, Sheyan encountered a spontaneous merger from a large scale level 8 party! The chances of this was as good as winning a lottery… .

Hence, with all these tiny factors surpa.s.sing the ordinary, a minute probability outcome of a Silver Prestige skill reaching such outrageous heights emeged .

As for the last party skill point, Sheyan allocated it to "Gloryheal", raising it to level 2 .

The party skill still restored 50% of HP but its cool down period was shortened; from 12 hours to 8 hours now .

Sheyan nodded with satisfaction .

Following Zi"s application, she also enrolled into Party Ace .

“How did my HP and MP increase so………dramatically??!?!?”

At the instance of her enrollment into the party, even a former party leader who oversaw grand schemes like Zi, couldn"t refrain from being utterly stunned .

560 points bonus to HP and MP!!!!

Although there wasn"t any other attribute bonus, looking in a more straightforward perspective, a member of this party could be considered to be supplemented with 56 points of physique and intelligence .

Of course, it was only a bonus to HP and MP, and not defense, ability power, attribute checkpoint bonuses or regeneration speed . Still, it was an upgrade that left one utterly flabbergasted .

Upon viewing the properties of "Gloryheal" she immediately attached it as a crisis saving ability!

“If my Illume-union possessed this ability previously, we could perhaps, fight to a stalemate with Glory Party… . . ”

Alas, her excitement quickly faded away as the abnormal crunching sounds of the metallic doors intensified . It could give way at any second .

Cruel reality served genuinely in their faces, a treacherous situation of two contestants versus two parties .

Even the "Unbeatable t.i.tan Leech" with 180,000 life force was eliminated with just 2-3 minutes . Such was the crumbling fate of defying a sea of combatants . Once the members of both parties charged in, what could more HP, MP and a stronger "Gloryheal" do? Merely, a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood .

Sheyan was aware of her thinking and directly dragged her deeper into the underground laboratory .

After all, two special barriers were erected for this base to guard against any large infiltrating legendary dinosaur .

The first barrier was those metal gates that were comparable with underground bunkers .

The second barrier, was the purposefully constructed narrow cavern pa.s.sage!

Even legendary dinosaurs besieged and destroyed the metal gates, their tremendous bodies could only lament in the sight of such a narrow pa.s.sageway .

When she saw the long hundred plus meters pa.s.sage, Zi"s eyes twinkled… . . in a flash, she understood Sheyan"s intention, as her body trembled faintly with anxiousness, antic.i.p.ation and even ecstacy .

“What you"re implying…is for me to hold this pa.s.sageway? And drag out the remaining time?”

“Indeed!” Sheyan"s eyes flickered with a burning pa.s.sion as he resolutely declared .

“Didn"t you feel it previously? This is your field . Your "Force Walls" is an area of effect damage and knockback enemies as well . With you guarding this pa.s.sage, anyone who wishes to charge in will be colliding straight into your walls! Your theoretical damage potential has already stepped into the realms of the Awakener once you awaken the "Dragonforce Bloodline" . Who, amongst them, can barge through your death zone of a hundred meters???”

Instead, the fervor in her eyes soon dimmed as she shook her head disappointedly .

“It"s not enough, they have two MTs in Skull and Zeus . They can significantly boost their comrades" speed and defense, and if they personally push in, even I don"t have the confidence… . . of stopping them . ”

“Is that…so?” Sheyan"s expression was strange as he dragged his voice, which seemed to be filled with disdain for Skull and Zeus .

His eyes combusted with a queer blazing intensity; like the setting sun or the rising daylight, it supplemented a wave of indescribable palpitation in Zi"s heart .

She felt as though this male was unfathomably mysterious like an ocean, totally unguessable and incapable of seeing through .

“I"ve never once committed to something without sufficient confidence . ” Sheyan spoke, word by word, to Zi . His tone was gentle yet strong, like a large river profoundly leading into the vast sea .

“Because, not only can I weaken my foes, but for you, I can grant you greater strength!”

As he gazed at Zi, he stretched out both hands as though offering a sacrifice to her . A second later, two shocking green radiance appeared on his hand; two weirdly styled equipments!

Zi was dumbfounded, the amount of mental shock she had received from him had been far too excessive . When her hand interacted with the two equipments, she immediately obtained their properties .

“Heavens… . ” Zi subconsciously murmured the intense emotions of her heart .

[ Ma.s.sive Ndipaya Augustmask & Ndipaya Marshcrow Augustgloves ]

[ Origins: Resident Evil Origins (Hidden World) ]

[ Equipment rarity: Dark-green (set equipment 2/3) ]

The two corresponding equipments she presently wore was rather ordinary and after being replaced by the "Augustmask" and "Augustgloves", she didn"t lose much in terms of attributes . The two new dark-green grade set equipment in addition to the "Asylum" skill of Party Ace, truly propelled Zi to a terrifying new threshold of power!

The total increase to her attributes were – intelligence +4, spirit +4, physique +13!

In terms of overall defense, her head on defence was enhanced by 100%, and the chances of reducing all damage to her by half was now 60% .

As for overall offense, these were the following upgrades .

A: 33% increase in duration of all your persisting damage (damage over time) type abilities . MP required for casting those abilities increases by 33% .

B: Acquired new ability: "Intercession" – Activating "Intercession" will forcibly lower the maximum cap of one"s MP by 25% . One chosen ability will then be granted 2 . 5 – 5 seconds of interceding chants . After that session of interceding chants concludes, damage dealt to enemies will be raised by 25 – 50% depending on the duration of your interceding chant .

C: Ability to draw energy – Before entering combat, the spirit of the bracers will continue absorbing energies from the atmosphere, granting additional 25% damage during the first attack .

D: Acquired new ability: Spirit Marshcrow – When dealing damage to opponents, the spirit of the bracers will acquire strength from the opponent"s agony . After acc.u.mulating 6 times of damage to the opponent, the Spirit Marshcrow of the bracers will materialize; soaring out and dealing a damage of (MP x 5) to the opponent . Includes a chance of infecting opponent with the "Initial Stage Septicaemia" virus .

E: Set ability: Marsh Decay – when dealing damage to the opponent, there"s a fixed chance of transforming your nearby surroundings into the environment of the Kijuju Marshland . Reduces movement speed and includes a chance of infection with various pestilences .

Of course, regardless of how impressive a dark-green set was, it also presented a list of frightening negativities .

Firstly, movement speed will be substantially reduced . Moreover, back defences will be weakened to 0; where all damage dealt would not be reduced and the effect takes precedence .

Next, agility would be reduced by 8 points, while strength and perceptive sense lowered by 3 points . Furthermore, total MP will be temporarily reduced by 10% .

Lastly, activation of various abilities would still deduct a fixed MP value based on one"s maximum possible MP .

To summarize the two set equipment, they skyrocketed one"s combat prowess but simultaneously, taxed MP at an insanely frightening rate!

A ordinary mage type contestant wouldn"t be able to exhibit the greatest potential of this set, because their MP will be utterly sucked dry .

Thus, Sheyan"s goal of rampantly upgrading party skill "Asylum", was not only to bolster Zi"s survivability, but with the bigger goal of enhancing her MP capacity . Without the awkward fear of running out of firepower, would she cause her foes to beat their chest and stamp their feet in frustration .

Little did Sheyan know, upon activating her "Pa.s.sionless Dragonforce Bloodline", her MP regeneration speed would soar to a frightening extent! This coincidentally compensated for the set equipment"s last shortcoming .

Zi quickly regained her composure from her previous shock . In a flash, now possessing sufficient confidence and strength, she transformed back into an arrogant maiden in control of all things; emanating an air of intelligence to accomplish everything skillfully with ease . Except, when glancing occasionally at Sheyan, a strand of unexplainably ambiguous charm surfaced .

“I believe you now, you really can stand on equal footing when facing Zeus and Skull . ” Zi gazed at Sheyan before she sincerely whispered . “I"m sorry . ”

“But… . ” Her lips abruptly curled into an enchanting smirk as her eyes fluttered .

“The two equipments are soul binding, but their value is minimally worth three dark-gold grade equipments . If the set is completed, its value will spiral up endlessly . But once I adorn this set, it will be mine forever, can you bear that?”

Sheyan issued a slight smile but his eyes contained a frivolous craftiness . He pointed to his lips and earnestly answered .

“You"ve already repaid that debt . ”

Without a doubt, upon raising the subject of their pa.s.sionate kiss, Zi"s icy image was shattered instantly again . She blushed slightly and rolled her eyes, before storing the two equipment into her personal storage .

However, even Sheyan couldn"t guess the first thing she did after acquiring the set… .

Zi unexpectedly employed her own military authority and blatantly altered the look of the "Ma.s.sive Ndipaya Augustmask", after squandering some utility points…… she transformed the ma.s.sive malevolent-looking wooden mask into a "Queen Bee" masquerade mask . Zi probably loved this image but hadn"t a suitable mask equipment to display this . After adorning this look, she exuberated a mystifying and majestic flare .

“Don"t know why, but I suddenly can"t wait for them to arrive . ” Zi suddenly smiled at Sheyan .

At this moment, Sheyan"s expression turned solemn .

“If possible, aim to slaughter members from a single party . ”

Her gaze shone as she replied .

“Breaking the equilibrium between both parties?”

“Indeed . ” Sheyan released a sly but pensive look . “Be it Skull Party or Glory Party, they both ultimately seek profits, the profits from killing us . However, mutual killing between each other is another form of profiting . Once the power balance between both sides falls apart……the lion will never befriend a sheep . That, will be our chance!”

“Yes, my exact sentiments . ” Zi nodded and said . “Also, once their attempts are continuously thwarted, they will charge in with Zeus and Skull storming the fronts together . That will be our most dangerous situation . ”

Sheyan frowned .

“If that happens, then you must improvise your battle tactic! It will come up to the most basic of situation, if the spear can successfully penetrate the s.h.i.+eld, then we win! But if you fail… . ”

Zi then interrupted him .

“They will never charge in together!”

Upon listening to the resolute conviction beneath her words, Sheyan"s heart instantly soothed and he exhaled gently .

Frankly speaking, when thrown in such a desperate impa.s.se, Sheyan would be lying if he said he wasn"t nervous . Still, he chose not to display any bit of nervousness . Otherwise, her fighting concentration may be diverted or she may lose confidence, which will be a tremendous blow to them .

Right now, without mentioning the sharp increase of battle prowess, her confidence and fighting spirit had been restored to the optimum! That alone, was worth all his painstaking efforts .

Zi suddenly asked .

“But Seaman, there"s an extremely fatal flaw in this set equipment, don"t you know?”

Sheyan chuckled and replied .

“Of course I know . All your rear defenses are equivalent to zero! Moreover, your movement speed is so horrendous, once the enemy draws near, you are as good as dead . Nevertheless, it is impossible for them to come near, at least, within a short span of time, and even more so to strike our backs! Doctor Hammond wasn"t gonna toy with his own life when designing the place . . ”

“There are no absolutes in life . ” Zi gazed deeply into his eyes . “Doctor Hammond wasn"t a strengthened contestant . ”

Sheyan"s lips curled up but decisively answered .

“If your rear is ever threatened, I shall be your strongest stronghold!”

All of a sudden, a thunderous boom echoed in from afar . The sound was terribly sickening, as though a galvanized iron sheet was being torn apart forcefully . The ground trembled as a sound of metal and concrete mutually rubbing screeched out .

A ma.s.sive sliding door, comparable to an underground fort, finally succ.u.mbed and collapsed .

The gates, were breached .

At present, there were 12 minutes and 7 seconds left to Sheyan"s and Zi"s successful return .

Not a single individual charged in . Everyone alive understood the logic of "the shot hits the bird that poke its head out" .

At present, no one dared to belittle Sheyan anymore . An individual who could casually toss out a dark-gold grade monster was definitely a fierce and decisive person . Most possibly, he may retaliate and inflict a fatal blow on his first move!

However, when a wider gap was crunched through, the expected attack didn"t arrive . Instead, a black entrance into the base surfaced, as though it was the mouth of an insatiably large beast wanting to devour all human life .

Skull"s eyes flickered as he asked .

“Err Judas? Is your report accurate? Could they have already escaped?”

Judas marched forward and respectfully replied .

“I can confirm, though I haven"t been here, I"ve personally seen Doctor Hammond"s base design before . There isn"t an alternative escape route, he went all in or death for the construction of this base . ”

The Metals Professor abruptly b.u.t.ted in .

“Meaning there"ll be numerous traps and defensive mechanisms here? Could that wench be relying on those to drag time out?”

Judas swung around and glared at the Metals Professor"s chest with extremely lecherous eyes . He offered a sly smirk and replied .

“Ohhh gorgeous female warrior, the mechanisms and snares are mostly completed; however, the main components or energy supply required to initiate them… . at least 80-90% of them were carried by the submarine we rode . ”

Zeus interrupted with a deep voice .

“Judas, you wish to die?”

Judas harrumphed coldly and casted one last greedy and malicious stare at Fu Lyanna"s perky chest . He then grumpily turned away .

Seeing his own subordinate being threatened, Skull looked over and disdainfully uttered .

“Zeus, your woman dresses in a revealing manner, and you don"t expect my men to peep?”

An indescribable surge of killing intent instantly oozed out from near the silent Zeus . Indeed, it was Aziz who just arrived!

Fortunately, at this moment, a pale faced Finarsih stepped forward .

“Skull, are you still intending to act according to the contracted pact?”

Skull snorted .

“Of course, but your boss is too sensitive! Let"s go!”

Although this portion of the base was still relatively broad and the contestants were wary of a sw.a.n.ky ambush, they were still, after all, powerful Growth-Hunters . Furthermore, with the a.s.sistance of Judas and Finarsih, the group sauntered through the base with a stern formation while examining for the hiding hostiles .

While investigating blind spots, they heightened their vigilance, and naturally loosened it when strolling through the broader main pa.s.sageway .

Because n.o.body could antic.i.p.ate this, n.o.body even dared to think of this… .

Two measly contestants would actually dare to unbridledly collide head on with two indomitable MT parties!!!

Patrice, who scouted the way ahead, similarly didn"t consider this fact .

Glory Party and Skull Party, they already possessed a deep-seated hatred for each other . Thus, it was impossible for them to develop teamwork in fighting . It was only for the sake of getting in Skull"s good books, that Patrice acted so enthusiastically .

Without a doubt, if she could eliminate the two individuals before Glory Party and reaped the benefits, her position within the party would rise substantially, thereby allowing her greater benefits .

A long and narrow pa.s.sageway stretched ahead . Patrice could only hear the sound of her own footsteps and breathing . It didn"t seem like anyone could evade her eyes in this pa.s.sageway .

Thus, Patrice boldly crept forward and placed added focus onto the walls, ground, and ceiling, to guard against hidden trapdoors . The voluptuous Patrice failed to pay special attention ahead .

All of a sudden, she strongly sensed something ahead and immediately glanced up!

As she narrowed her eyes, roughly a hundred meters away, was shockingly Zi! Zi"s hair was fluttering around in mid-air .

The Zi who was wearing a mystifying Queen Bee masquerade mask .

The Zi whose eyes were shut!

This sensation was as if something was squeezing her soul out from her body… . . causing Patrice to subconsciously cry out .

This was a sharp and ludicrous cry of sensing one"s life on the verge of extinction!

Then, a contemptuous smile surfaced on Zi"s lips .

Simultaneously, the crescent magic dagger she held emitted a melancholic glint .

At present, Zi hadn"t awakened her "Pa.s.sionless Dragonforce Bloodline" yet . Still, a hazy aura of absolute terror enshrouded her which created a stifling suffocating sensation in Patrice .

In this instant, Patrice realized that risking to scout ahead was a tremendous mistake .

The opponents were obviously not resigned to fate but preparing a boiling pot for their foes!

Nevertheless, it wasn"t by chance that Patrice could survive in the realm till now . She similarly possessed a life protecting element, but it was similar to the "Unmodeled Amnio Tank" that required an immense price! Unless it was absolutely necessary, she would definitely not utilize it .

In this instance, Patrice reckoned she had reached the last resort, still, she possessed one last life protecting ability .

Though she possessed a peerless figure, her heart was equally venomous . In Skull Party, she relied on her looks to allure men into offering their pomegranates . During those moments, she imprinted her "Windswap Marker" onto them .

This "Windswap Marker" was Patrice"s special ability . It wasn"t that useful in a direct battle but was exceptional in terms of life support . With the activation of her ability, she could instantly swap positions with a nearby marked individual .

Facing the threat of imminent death, Patrice immediately activated her "Windswap Marker" ability, and swapped positions with the nearest marked individual; tossing him straight in the face of Zi!

The nearest marked individual was called "Wild Dog", a person that garnered Skull"s appreciation . His fighting style was like a berserker .

In normal clashes, Wild Dog was one of the two fighters that received Skulls"s metal armour enhancement . One could imagine how redoubtable he was .

After being forcefully swapped, he cursed Patrice out loud as his messy hair fluttered like a fluffy dog . In a split second, he sensed the terrifying pressure coming from Zi ahead and instantly swung into battle mode!

Baring his bloodstained teeth, he didn"t retreat but crazily charged for Zi!

The reason he obtained such a standing in Skull Party was because of such crazy vigor!

His body blurred with breakneck mobility and an intense combat aura rippled out from him and into the air . Wild Dog eyes turned plump and tenderly red as though irrigated with blood, and combusted with an insane hatred .

With her eyes shut, Zi finally concluded her "Interceding" chant . Then, her crescent silver dagger swiftly carved around the air and formed a supreme and abstruse crest . It was indeed the Imperial crest of the Sith Empire of the Star Wars world .

The crest started spinning rapidly, before a green radiance emanated out from her gloves and mask before enveloping a distinct emerald coat around the crest . Indeed, that was the ability of drawing energies and "Intercession" of her set equipment .

Wild Dog howled furiously as he felt a frightening shadow covering his front . He clawed forth as sharp deadly white beams carved out five deep crevices along the wall, sending rocks scattering in the face of an unstoppable momentum .

However, when that large abstruse crest arrived a meter away from Wild Dog, it metamorphosed into a pitch-black, lofty hand with three muscular fingers and strangely long fingernails . Then, the hand gripped Wild Dog"s neck ferociously!

This was another derivative of Zi"s force abilities – Force Suffocation .

This ability was a persisting damage type ability, which summoned a Sith demon claw to strangle the enemy and terminate the enemy"s life with suffocating agony . Furthermore, upon killing the enemy, the Sith demon claw would convert a portion of the enemy"s life force into mana that returned to the caster .

To Zi, she personally didn"t favour this ability . Firstly, it required a chanting cast time and secondly, it was a single unit attack . Lastly, she loved to be widely involved in group battles and didn"t normally lack mana .

Hence, Zi would rather unleash her "Force Collision Walls" to repel charging enemies away, and earn precious opportunities for her party members; simultaneously preventing the enemies from getting too close .

Yet right now, with the buff of two dark-green set equipments, she immediately realized her "Force Suffocation" ability had transformed into an insurmountable killing tool!

Don"t mention about the significant boost to her attack damage, the 33% increase to its persisting damage duration could greatly speed up the triggering of the "Spirit Marshcrow" ability . Thus, she decided her opening move would be this "Force Suffocation" ability!

The "Spirit Marshcrow" ability required 6 instances of damage to be triggered . Without a persisting damage type attack, Zi would probably need 30 seconds to damage the enemy 6 times . With her "Force Suffocation" ability, she could possibly trigger the "Spirit Marshcrow" ability within just 10 seconds .

Meanwhile, Wild Dog was rampantly spearing forth when a sudden jolt of pain engulfed his neck .

When a terrifying gigantic demonic hand tightened around his neck, his vision turned dark as he groaned out in agony . He struggled to cut away this demonic hand, but brute force failed to even interact with this gripping phantom hand . Instead, the hand started dealing damages to him!

“Ahhhhh! d.a.m.ned woman, I will tear you apart!” Wild Dog"s muscles inflated impressively amidst the torment as all his blood vessels bulged up .

In his perspective, he could cover a hundred meters with a few measly seconds at full speed . Wild Dog was fully confident, he just needed another 1 . 7 seconds to pounce forward and dice this woman into pieces .

Yet in the next moment, Zi widened her eyes!

Her gaze was as deep as the ocean, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with charm and power that could drown anyone . In an instant, her gaze seemingly transformed into two incredibly incisive needles and pierced in towards Wild Dog"s eyes .

The air congealed a little and without any warning, punctured straight into the depths of Wild Dog!

Indeed, the ability that even Sheyan suffered greatly under .

Force Needle Explosion!

Wild Dog instantly felt as though his mental system was p.r.i.c.ked by millions of tiny knives . A buzzing sound popped in his head before an endless white appeared . This happened for an unknown long period before he regained his senses .

However, he found himself collapsed on the ground, as a lacerating agony ravaged his mind and blood gushed out from his eyes, nostrils, and ear holes .

To Wild Dog"s horror, he discovered his "Bioguard Rite" had been activated!!

"Bioguard Rite" was a silver storyline grade item that Wild Dog carried with him . It didn"t provide any attribute bonus but allowed one to store various medicines inside . The "Bioguard Rite" would strictly monitor the wielder"s body, and once it discovers the wielder is struck into near-death state, it would immediately activate the medicine placed inside regardless of the state the user was in .

By placing an honorary medicine into this tool, it undoubtedly meant an extra lifeline in battles!

With the activation of this "Bioguard Rite", Wild Dog became aware he had been struck into near-death state during his period of unconsciousness . Without the "Bioguard Rite" employing the medicine, Wild Dog believed he would have perished during the stunning period of the "Force Needle Explosion" .

The horrified Wild Dog couldn"t help but check his combat log, which completely crumbled his fighting spirit in no time! A tremendous shadow of death cascaded down onto his soul .

“Holy, this demoness, her attack prowess…how can it be so perverse!!!!”

After all, Zi was a peak Growth-Hunter with incredibly deadly attack power . Moreover, her attack power was now bolstered with the 25% increase of the gloves" drawing energy property, and the 50% increase of the "Intercession" ability .

For an offensively strong but defensively weak individual like Wild Dog, the damage of "Force Suffocation" was naturally adequate to devastate him .

Even though Wild Dog was merely 10 meters away from Zi which was within his attack range, he acted completely like a crumbling stray dog; wagging his tail as he scurried away while howling in grief . His confidence, fighting spirit, and courage had utterly crumbled in the face of Zi"s terrifying offense!!

Wild Dog believed that if he approached her again, he would undoubtedly die!!!

By now, the members of both parties had noticed the ruckus here .

Skull was marching with large strides to receive Wild Dog . As he proceeded through the pa.s.sageway, he witnessed his subordinate scampering towards him while howling in anguish .

“Save me, save me ahhhhh!!”

Seeing his invincible party leader, Wild Dog immediately cried out and lunged in as though wors.h.i.+ping his savior .

Except, in this exact instance, the diabolical black phantom claw viciously tightened around Wild Dog"s neck again!

“NOOOOO!” Skull roared out with blazing eyes .

Wild Dog"s eyes protrude out as his howls abruptly ceased; resembling that of snapping a chicken"s neck .

A powerful destructive force smashed against his body and drained away all his vitality… . . then, this formidable Growth-Hunter pitifully exploded in mid-air!!! His limbs and flesh splattered everywhere .

Right in Zeus and Skull"s face .

“Jeje… . ” The evil laugh of a Sith demon filled the air . A wave of black mist drifted out from Wild Dog"s splattered corpse and floated back to Zi, refilling her MP by a good portion .

Concurrently, Zi obtained the achievement point and option of drawing an equipment from slaying Wild Dog .

A second later, to Glory Party members" shock and fury, Zi"s angry voice unexpectedly echoed in .

“Zeus, you actually violated our agreement! Didn"t we say to lure these fools in and annihilate them together?”

When that sentence was issued, the members of Skull Party instantly developed a strong hostility towards Glory Party . After all, both parties were indisputably different, as swords were drawn and bows bent!

But at this moment, Zeus stepped forth and issued a deep voice to Skull .

“Although we are rivals, but Skull, you really think I would lower myself to such extent?”

A gloomy countenance covered Skull"s face but he eventually nodded .

“I believe you . ”

The jittery atmosphere dissipated after the two party leaders reached a common consensus . In spite of that, the glaring cracks between the two became increasingly clear .

Finarsih abruptly coughed and spoke .

“I"ve probed out, beneath the walls is purely the mountain"s body . To forcibly drill through over hundred meters of thickness, it isn"t possible but requires time . Perhaps the lord Skull has a way?”

Skull coldly replied .

“My ability is only effective against metal . ”

Then, Judas muttered with a shady voice .

“This tunnel appears straight but is actually slightly bended . Hence, we can"t see the exit of the tunnel while standing from this entrance, which indicates that we can"t a.s.sault her with long-range firepower . To attack her, we have to enter her combat range . Strange…according to the information you supplied, ah, it seems her prowess vastly exceeds your estimates?”

Judas was a treacherous and sly brat . He downplayed his words but still served an underlying pressure to Glory Party, hinting at their faulty intelligence report . Besides, Skull Party was the one with a man down and suffered a great losses .

Zeus paused for a brief while before commanding .

“Sable, Fu Lyanna, you two will go . It is a narrow terrain without much s.p.a.ce, numbers are futile and will only be smacked by Zi"s "Force Wall Collision" . ”

Actually in this group, adding a long-range gunman would be most suitable . Sadly, their long-range firepower team had suffered grave losses in this world already . Only America"s public enemy, Aziz, could attack from more than a hundred meters away . The rest were mostly just shotgun or pistol users .

More crucially, Aziz wasn"t even present .

He wasn"t willing to enter this terrain with the members of Skull Party around .

The reason for his insistence, was his innate disposition as a low-profile but deadly sniper . If Skull Party were to harbor malicious intent, he would inevitably be first to go!

Aziz was a formidable yet intelligent man, a discretely recognized high ranker who almost sat in equal terms with Zeus . Without sufficient benefits, would he enter to risk it?

Furthermore, even if Aziz did enter this base, his arrogant personality definitely wouldn"t allow him to gang up on a single woman like Zi .

Sable"s scalp turned numb when he heard his name . Still, there was no other alternatives left for him, he couldn"t not go! Zeus"s goal of dispatching him was exceedingly clear, to be cannon fodder for Fu Lyanna .

In personal terms, Sable was originally one of the "four heavenly generals" under Zi . Yet, he shamelessly betrayed her which led to more comrades dying .

In the overall perspective, Sable was a high-offense-low-defense, close combat fighter . Moreover, he just received a backlash of 25% attributes from mission failure .

If Zi didn"t aim to kill him, then who?

Hence, while Sable was being a.s.saulted, the Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna, would have room to display her might . In Zeus"s mind, Fu Lyanna"s capabilities, though incomparable to Zi, could still be considered near the same tier . Add in Sable, a Growth-Hunter, victory was ascertain!

Zeus was fully confident after contemplating over but remained apathetic with an unchanging expression . As for Sable"s fate, a cripple whose attributes were shaved off by 25%, his potential was nearly exhausted and was now an insignificant being be it dead or alive .

Evidently, Fu Lyanna was slightly startled upon being chosen but quickly displayed her delight .

On the contrary, Sable"s face exhibited an ashen despair . Fu Lyanna sneered and trudged out . She lifted her perky chest and haughtily declared to the members of Skull Party .

“You guys take a good look, what is the genuine might of metal!”

She was jesting at the fact that Skull was similarly a redoubtable metal element user, but she ultimately believed she was the stronger fighter! Her tone was incomparably overbearing and brimmed self-confidence .

Instead, at this moment, an ill-timed sound utterly shattered the cool image the Metals Professor attempted to portray .

“Ah…ah… . AH…AHTCHOO!”

The sneeze came from Skull"s underling, an individual named Tyre . This was because his body appeared like a tyre, a relatively plump person . He a.s.sumed an exceptionally crucial position in the party as Skull"s vice tank .

After sneezing, he nonchalantly wiped his snot and shrugged his shoulders helplessly .

Fu Lyanna"s countenance sank and viewed it as an intentional act . She swung around and sauntered into the narrow pa.s.sageway ahead .

Fu Lyanna and Zi exchanged glances at the same time .

Two beauties of different dispositions simultaneously stared into each others" eyes . It seemed as though a chain of sparks had formed in between them .

The revolving rhombus mana crystals accelerated around Zi as she emanated a vigorous energy .

There was no need for words between them . They didn"t need to say anything else .

Fu Lyanna had dealt an immense blow to Zi"s life, but didn"t Zi devastate Fu Lyanna"s love life into a blood dripping mess as well?

Within a split second, Fu Lyanna bolted in with astonis.h.i.+ng pace . Her waist exhibited an extremely firm yet elastic bend in mid-air, as her spotlessly white and tender left fingers grabbed her steel chains .

The metal her hands interacted with instantly morphed into a semi-liquid state and was swiftly moulded into an incomparably sharp six-edged short javelin . She then hurled it across the tunnel at Zi .

When Fu Lyanna landed, her right reached out with another metal chain, which continuously morphed into incisive six-edged javelins that were repeatedly hurled out . The javelins speared in with lightning impetus .

As for Fu Lyanna"s body, a steel chain armour rapidly appeared, clinging tightly to her body, failing to impair her agility but exhibiting her s.e.xuality to the maximum .

Simultaneously, Sable was charging in like a mad dog . He clutched his vertebrae bone saber shaft tightly . As one of Zi"s oldest comrades, he deeply understood that if he could reach Zi, his chance of surviving would increase by half!

Zi"s crescent silver dagger sc.r.a.ped across the air . The dagger released an impression of a docile weapon, and skewered more towards a calligraphy brush; narrating a string of future events that overflowed with obscurity .

A "Force Wall" quickly formed following Zi"s move . It carried an incredibly oppressive rang wind as it whizzed out while occupying the majority of the tunnel"s width .

This "Force Collision Wall" she unleashed seemed thicker, while its quality now carried an unfathomable prestige .

Facing Zi"s signature move, Metals Professor Fu Lyanna revealed a sneer instead . A split second later, the incoming six-edged javelins unexpectedly ignited with white flames .

With the protection of the white flames, those six-edged javelins punctured through the "Force Wall" discourteously, and like five venomous white serpents, they spearted for their target with unwavering momentum .

“In order to counter your "Force Wall", I didn"t hesitate to redraw my ability five times, and finally drew the rare "Magic breaker" property! It can penetrate through all magic abilities . Zi! This is my first gift to you, how"d you like it?”

Metals Professor Fu Lynna smiled icily with her pearly white teeth .

Meanwhile, Sable was being utterly shaken by Zi"s bearing .

“She"s still wielding that crescent dagger and wearing that archaic egyptian robe!!”

“How can that be… . . ”

“How is that possible!!!!”

Sable couldn"t believe his own eyes .

He was the only one who understood Zi the most . In her current ordinary state, she mostly employed her "Force Collision Walls" to supplement aid to her party; for example, smacking beasts or rivals away from certain long-range combatants or etcetera .

The Zi of that state didn"t really possess invincible killing might . Only after awakening her "Dragonforce Bloodline" would she transform into a destructive demoness .

Yet right now… . the cruel reality was this – a support mode Zi had actually destroyed a Growth-Hunter!

Sable was presently on the verge of tears, if he knew Zi could exhibit such indomitable might from the start, how would he have dared to be disloyal??

Reflecting on that, Sable couldn"t help but s.h.i.+ver; yes, s.h.i.+ver from the fear of an unthinkable future .

At this moment, the wildly das.h.i.+ng Sable suddenly felt a discomfort in his throat . Unable to bear any longer, he started to cough violently as his movement staggered to a slow .

Concurrently, Fu Lyanna"s bewitching eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vengeance, ruthlessness and ecstacy . She already calculated that Zi would surely evade the five "Magic Breaker" javelins, and thus, be incapable of continuing her chanting ability . With that buffer time, Zi would undoubtedly be drawn into the range of her ultimate killer move!

Therefore, Fu Lyanna commenced her activation of two abilities . The first ability came from her dark-gold long robe, an ability called "Movement Sorcery", and the other, her signature move "Metallic Corrugation" . In the past, when she was just a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter, she relied on this ability to eliminate six enemies in one battlefield; of which, were two Reserve-duty Growth-Hunters!

Yet in the next second, Fu Lyanna immediately realized her thinking was flawed!

Zi"s long hair fluttered upwards as she gazed in with eyes of mockery . She unexpectedly maintained her chanting posture and allowed the five "Magic Breaker" javelins to pierce in .

All of a sudden, a green radiance s.h.i.+mmered forth from her mask and gloves . A second later, a ma.s.sive and abstruse mirage of a tribal mask floated in front of Zi . This was indeed the activation of the "Ma.s.sive Ndipaya Augustmask"!!!

Increasing frontal defense by 100% and creating a 60% chance of reducing incoming damage by half!

Moreover, after adorning the Ndipaya set, her physique was enhanced by 13 points . In addition to the level 8 "Asylum" party skill which boosted her HP and MP by 560 points, those five "Magic Breaker" javelins may be considered a deadly threat to the former Zi, but right now, they were almost insignificant existences!

Of the five incoming javelins, two of them were effortlessly deflected away by Zi"s revolving rhombus mana crystals . Of course, the deflection caused those mana crystals to lose a portion of MP but wasn"t that much to Zi .

The two other struck past Zi"s body and only one struck her directly, before turning into metallic crumbles that fell to the ground . Zi"s complexion turned slightly pale .

Although those five "Magic Breaker" javelins were incredibly deadly, after a series of weakening, the damage dealt to Zi was vastly fell short of her expectation .

Indeed, due to this wrong miscalculation, Zi managed to complete her chant . Her silver crescent that swiftly and mysteriously carved around the air, thereby activating "Force Suffocation" once again!

The terrifying claws of a Sith demon viciously gripped onto Fu Lyanna"s neck . Her face instantly inflated with redness as her spell chanting was delayed .

Zeus"s earlier plan was a total failure .

He originally thought that Zi had sufficient reason to deal with Sable first . Yet now, one could tell Zi was obviously planning for a blitzkrieg strategy to deal with Fu Lyanna first!

Zeus"s thought process wasn"t wrong but he neglected one fact .

Indeed, as much as Sable was exceedingly familiar with Zi, she similarly understood Sable like the back of her palm .

Bear this in mind, a 25% deduction in attributes wasn"t merely a theoretical figure but contained an expansive implication as well . It was like a ma.s.sage parlor in the red light district; when a gorgeous female in a miniskirt calls one in for a "ma.s.sage", the word ma.s.sage actually includes implications such as bodily fluids, fire and ice, money, regulations, ethics, diseases, hospital, pleasure and other phrases along the same lines .

To Zi"s knowledge, his attributes plunging by 25% indicated that he could no longer wield at least two of his crucial silver storyline grade equipment . This further implied he was only relying on his vertebrae bone saber, and also implied a deficiency of MP within a short span of time . That implied his explosive might had fallen by minimally 50%… . .

Fy Lyanna"s eyes were bloodshot as she screamed and charged towards Zi . As she resumed her spell cast, one could watch as the chains around her clinked clamorously, before breaking down into tiny razor blades . The razor blades were the size of fingernails that revolved speedily around her, like a ring around a planet . One could fathom a death by a thousand cuts upon touching Fu Lyanna"s ring of razors .

In a flash, three metallic rings circled around the Metals Professor as an incomparably sharp screeching filled the air . Once Zi enters her casting range, she would be a.s.saulted by waves of this "Metallic Corrugation" .

“The deadliest range of her "metallic Corrugation" is 25 meters!” Zeus indifferently announced . “Another three meters, and Zi will be in her casting range and be totally suppressed . ”

“The situation isn"t good, ah… . cough cough cough . ” The pale faced Finarsih exclaimed to Zeus . “Haven"t you realize that Zi hasn"t transformed?”

Zeus frowned and abruptly exclaimed .

“Something"s wrong! Why are there so many individuals coughing??”

Finarsih was about to answer but his focus was involuntarily attracted to the battle!

Just three meters from her optimal spot, Fu Lyanna received Zi"s most severe retaliation .

Her azure egyptian robe started fluttering turbulently; it was as though a ma.s.sive gale had just swept past, and the fullness of her figure could be faintly discerned .

She sliced her silver crescent dagger through the air; during this process, obscure letters that emanated cosmic mysteries flew out and whizzed towards Fu Lyanna .

Those were interstellar characters of the Sith Empire of the Star Wars World . Upon nearing the Metals Professor, the characters materialized irregularly into acute thorns!!!

Black acute thorns that exuded a metallic l.u.s.ter!

Witnessing that ability, Zeus"s countenance sank as he yelled out .

“How is that possible… . that"s the next branch ability of her rank 6 ability!! "Force Starthorns"! How can she suddenly unlock that while battling? Didn"t Yuan Zhan mention she poured all the party"s resources into him?”

Finarsih frowned and replied .

“We cannot exclude that possibility . I"ve seen Sable"s accepted main mission, its mission difficulty is ridiculously high but so is its reward generous . Perhaps, after accomplis.h.i.+ng her mission, she at least acquired 7 achievement points, and… . don"t forget, she just slew a member of Skull Party! That guy is a Growth-Hunter, with 10 official achievement points, crossing a threshold may not be unattainable . ”

Whenever a "Force Starthorn" touches the enemy, a powerful mini-explosion will occur that blows the enemy away .

Amidst the chaos of unending mini-explosion, Fu Lyanna still attempted to charge forward . Alas, cruel reality served her with a mouthful of blood as she was repeatedly pounded back by the mini-explosions!

When she noticed Zi"s look of ridicule, like a cat clutching a mouse, she screamed ludicrously and s.h.i.+fted all her metallic razor blades to her back . The blades combined into a incredibly spectacular pair of metallic wings, as the Metals Professor shockingly flew in to take Zi down with her; burning both jade and the common stone!

Yet in this instant, her gloves exuded out a green resplendence and following that, an eccentric and fluffy crow image with bloodshot eyes soared out . In a flash, it penetrated Fu Lyanna"s body .

The swiftness of this one attack, could only be described as a bolt of lightning!

"Spirit Marshcrow" ability released .

Simultaneously, that Sith demon claw gripping Fu Lyanna"s neck tightened once again!

Fu Lyanna was still fundamentally a mage type contestant .

That determined her weaker life force . When facing physical long-range shooters or close blade-type combatants, the Metals Professor could still wrap herself with a metallic s.h.i.+eld to reduce physical damages . In that manner, she could trade damage for damage, which normally resulted in her having the last laugh .

Her damage reduction ability was a little similar to Sheyan"s innate "Stronghold" . Firstly, it enhanced defense substantially and even reduced incoming damage, but of course, its precedence rate couldn"t be compared to "Stronghold" and was only effective against physical damages . Without a doubt, a physical damage dealer would be in for a headache upon encountering her .

However, Zi"s attack was based on force damage! It was equivalent to a form of element attack, which rendered the Metals Professor"s metallic s.h.i.+eld utterly useless .

The "Spirit Marshcrow" released a shrilling squawk that pierced into Fu Lyanna"s ears . Concurrently, the vicious grip of the Sith demon claw tightened around her neck .

An unprecedented searing pain and weakness instantly transmitted throughout the Metals Professor"s body .

It wasn"t only physical agony, but an unexplainable anguish and embarra.s.sment that stemmed from the heart .

It was as though words she spewed to the Skull Party members previously had formed into an invisible palm, that was relentlessly slapping her face .

Anguish borne of the heart was a manifold times miserable than of the body .

In this situation, she emitted a shrilling scream as her metallic wings waved frantically . The degree of humiliation prevented her from relenting as she staked it all to exchange life for life!

Then, the two gigantic metallic wings flapped to the front and suddenly twisted into a distorted long blade, before piercing menacingly towards Zi .

However, regardless of the Metals Professor"s utmost efforts, the sharp tip of her metallic wings fell half a meter short of Zi .

It failed to inch further as its incisive tip released a chilling glint right before Zi"s throat . Just a little more, and it could indulge on the delicious blood of its foe . Alas, half a meter was equivalent to a heavenly moat!

Zi lazily pointed up her crescent dagger again, as a "Force Collision Wall" whizzed out and slammed viciously against Fu Lyanna; knocking her flying as she sunk into near-death state .

Simultaneously, the demonic Sith grip of "Force Suffocation" constricted fatally once again .

“NO!!!!!” Fu Lyanna"s shrilling yell reverberated throughout the entire pa.s.sageway .

All of sudden, a vivid illusion appeared on the Metals Professor"s body and replaced her in receiving that final blow . That illusion instantly shattered into smithereens like a porcelain, where a silver spiralling equipment surged out towards Zi .

By now, the primary body of Fu Lyanna had vanished into thin air as she directly returned to the realm .

Fu Lyanna employed a rank "S" item called "Scapegoat Charm" . Naturally, it represented a scapegoat illusion peris.h.i.+ng for the user, but simultaneously incurring an immense penalty of dropping a random wielded equipment .

As it turns out, during the battle against Skull party previously, the Metals Professor had already utilized an "Honorary Medicine", and therefore, the cooldown was still refres.h.i.+ng . Thus, she was bluntly defeated just like that .

Nevertheless, her sacrifice wasn"t in vain .

In this instant, Sable had already arrived before Zi as he gritted his teeth and beheaded down ferociously .

Under normal circ.u.mstances, Sable should"ve reached Zi three seconds ago . Instead, he encountered a ridiculous fit of coughing for two seconds . In addition to his chaotic thoughts delaying him for another second, he wasted three precious seconds .

Meanwhile, as Fu Lyanna was being bombarded by Zi, two other agility close combatants of Glory Party had stealthily entered the battlefield .

As Growth-Hunters themselves, their movement speed was naturally frightening . At the instance where Sable was slas.h.i.+ng forth, the foremost swift a.s.sa.s.sin had already covered 60 plus meters and was now merely 30 meters away from Zi!

Regardless of how valiant a mage type contestant Zi was, one could imagine that once the a.s.sa.s.sin reaches her, she would surely be cut down .

Zi tilted her head slightly as Sable"s vertebrae saber chopped down onto her shoulder . Dark red blood spilled out onto her snowy skin and created an enchanting scene of melancholy; like snow falling on a red sea, causing despair all around .

Following that, green radiance sparkled out from her mask and gloves again . In a blink of an eye, the image of a ma.s.sively mysterifying tribal mask materialized before her . Once again, the "Ma.s.sive Ndipaya Augustmask" was activated!

At this moment, Judas exclaimed abnormally .

“Set equipment! I got it . She is wielding a top grade set equipment, possibly drop loots of an Awakener difficulty world . No wonder she"s unstoppable!”

While Judas was exclaiming, an incomparably strong sense of fear had already welled up in Sable"s heart…… . he had only seen an Awakener difficulty equipment once!

The shocking thing to all was…”Zi is actually wearing a set of that grade???”

Sable"s fighting will was initially subpar after his strength had fallen substantially . Right now, he felt irresistible cowardness creeping into his heart .

His saber slashed down with the muscle memory of a hundred battles but his hand had turned limp .

Fortunately, a split second later, the agile a.s.sa.s.sin behind had vanished into thin air, and a second later, emerged in front of Zi . A piercing glow radiated out from the a.s.sa.s.sin"s hands!

This was the signature ability of that agility Growth-Hunter .

Firstly, burst in with lighting speed; shuttling through 50 meters in an instance and directly arriving before the enemy .

Next, activating a powerful controlling ability, "Blind Conveyor", which plundered the vision of the enemy instantly . Only after two seconds, can the enemy regain her vision .

Upon blinding Zi, the other agility Growth-Hunter had sprinted 5 meters within Zi!

Within mere seconds, the Zi who initially occupied the advantage, had fallen into a close combat aspect in the midst of three formidable Growth-Hunters . Moreover, she was in a state of blindness!

This aspect couldn"t be described as nasty, to Judas and Finarsih, they felt that this was it .

A helpless end!

All of a sudden, a spinning gla.s.s flask was abruptly tossed over .

Actually, before the agile a.s.sa.s.sin had blinded Zi, the gla.s.s flask was already spinning in flight .

When the three aggressors was about to strike Zi unanimously, the flask shattered on the ground and released an invisible shockwave; stunning them for 1 . 5 seconds as a chartreuse colored poison fog permeated up .

Curse-mix!

Sheyan had been hiding behind the scenes . Although he was laying low, it didn"t mean he wasn"t around! He was like a venomous snake in the dark, bringing a fatal and venomous bite once he surfaced .

Honestly speaking, regardless of Sable or the two agility contestants, they possessed methods of eliminating that 1 . 5 seconds stun .

Of course, the cost of eliminating was pretty immense, and for them, they would only be stunned for 1 . 5 seconds with maximum health; what could this woman do? Could she eradicate them within 1 . 5 seconds? Absolutely impossible!

Thus, they forgot the thought of eliminating that 1 . 5 seconds stun .

When the 1 . 5 seconds stun occurred, Zi"s lips curled into a chilling smirk .

One of her six rhombus mana crystal shattered, transforming into starry mana fragments that replenished her body . Following that, she pointed her finger towards the ceiling .

Instantaneously, a boundless attractive force emerged from all directions, before forming eight "Force Walls" that crashed down around her . The "Force Walls" formed into a semi-dome structure that enveloped her sternly without letting even a gust of wind in .

A second later, eight impressively thick "Force Walls" collided out with astonis.h.i.+ng pace .

The two agility Growth-Hunters and Sable were simultaneously struck by a "ma.s.sive speeding truck", as they flew backwards for ten plus meters, before cras.h.i.+ng onto the ground . The three of them were high-offense-low-defense type, as their heads turned dizzy with a badly battered face .

Force Alternate-Shuddering Walls!

Then, the most peculiar event occurred, one that not even Zi was expecting .

The area where the three contestants crashed down was originally concrete ground . Yet in a flash, they sank in as the ground transformed into a muddy and vile marsh .

A greyish mist drifted into the atmosphere .

Reeds, duckweeds and all sorts of vegetation rapidly sprung up from the marsh, as they swished gently amidst the muddy waters . A dull reddish color rippled in the water that appeared like dense ma.s.ses of duckweed, or regiments of blood that would never disperse .

Even layers of decaying moss, dog excrement, toxic fungus and others coated both walls .

A foul rotting stench pervaded the air!

Indeed, the activation of a powerful set ability .

Strictly speaking, in terms of equipment properties of quality, a set equipment would be a little bit inferior to a dark-gold grade equipment . This was because a dark-gold grade equipment normally didn"t possess a negative property, while the flaws and strengths of a green grade equipment was normally obvious .

As for why the value of set equipment frequently triumph over a dark-gold grade equipment, was because of its incredible special set ability!

The present phenomenon was caused by the special ability of Zi"s set equipment – "Marsh Decay" .

[ Set ability: Marsh Decay – when dealing damage to the opponent, there"s a fixed chance of transforming your nearby surroundings into the environment of the Kijuju Marshland . Reduces movement speed and includes a chance of infection with various pestilences (set wielder will be immune to negative effects) ]

After being plunged into a marsh without any warning, the three fighters became startled and perplexed . Such a sensation was exceedingly queer and confusing .

Still, Sable reacted the swiftest .

Pa! Ps.h.!.+ Ps.h.!.+ Pa! Without making a sound, he waddled through the marsh and escaped .

Indeed, although his prowess had plummeted, this cunning fox was still smart and understood Zi very well . He had immediately accessed the situation presented to him .

“The three of us can"t even touch a blind Zi after surrounding her, what should I hesitate about? Since we are all stuck in this marsh, I must run the furthest!”

Truthfully speaking, Sable couldn"t run that fast in this nearly knee-deep Nidpaya marsh . Still, his only advantage was being faster than the other two .

At this moment, the disharmony between them was exposed .

The blind-inflicting Growth-Hunter immediately thought of Zeus"s command and continued barrelling forward as he splashed through the swampy waters .

The last Growth-Hunter hesitated a little and decided to observe first .

With three individuals working in disharmony, how could they make a concerted effort to achieve victory?

When the blind-inflicting Growth-Hunter arrived in front of Zi, her powerful "Force Needle Explosion" had just cooled down . Her eyes beamed out with an incisive needle-like gaze which drilled deep into his head .

Amidst his searing agony, he activated an achievement medicine to dispel the stunning effect before viciously stabbing towards Zi .

Despite so, Zi endured the stabbing dagger and unleashed another "Force Collision Wall", which effortlessly knocked him and the other charging agility Growth-Hunter flying away .

Noteworthily, Zi"s "Force Collision Wall" was already raised to the lvlmax stage by Zi, and thus only presented a short 8 seconds cooldown . The rest of her abilities had a much longer cooldown .

This was the supreme advantage of this narrow terrain . In any other ordinary terrain, although her "Force Collision Wall" was still an area of effect attack, its speed was a fatal flaw . Those two Growth-Hunters could"ve easily dodged it, don"t even mention hitting two birds with one stone like now .

Moments later, a crescent dagger started carving again . Then, the black Sith Demon claw mercilessly gripped the blind-inflicting Growth-Hunter"s neck . By now, his fighting spirit had evaporated completely as he howled in anguish while fleeing . Instead, a shocking twist occurred .

He started off with a s.h.i.+ver which influenced his fleeing pace, which compounded onto the r.e.t.a.r.dation of Sheyan"s poison fog and the muddy marsh terrain . Finally, at the most crucial moment, he unexpectedly bent his back and started coughing violently .

How could Zi overlook such a glorious opportunity?

Similarly to the Metals Professor, his "Honorary Medicine" was on cooldown, and after being slapped into near-death state by Zi, he finally perished to the evil clutches of the Sith demon while restoring a portion of her mana .

Sadly, he wasn"t Skull"s underling and didn"t possess a high slayer value . Thus, he didn"t produce any blood key .

Zi remained standing uprightly with specks of blood tarnis.h.i.+ng her clothes . Her egyptian robe hid her cold yet graceful demeanor, and released an impression of unstealable by anyone!

After such an intimidating performance, not a single person dared to utter a sound .

“An outstanding terrain-modifier ability, a peak Awakener difficulty green set equipment that I can"t detect any negative properties… . ”

Judas muttered with a downcast tone .

“Most critically, this terrain is a natural fort for her; one man guarding against the millions! Zeus, your information is completely inaccurate, to take her down, we must rely on the capabilities of an MT . ”

Undoubtedly, only an MT can deal with such terrorizing a.s.saults . However, never forget, Skull and Zeus were mutual suppressions to each other, especially when Zi was still ahead and very much alive .

If Skull charged forward, Zeus can mount a sneak pincer and naturally annihilate the entire Skull Party!

Similarly, Zeus couldn"t neglect the possibility of Skull pincering him from behind .

In this world of mutual deception, n.o.body was willing to exchange their lives for strangers; much less rivals . Furthermore, Skull would have more reasons and profits by doing so .

Judas said coldly to Skull .

“Boss, this is an obvious situation . Mindlessly charging in for the sake of venting, is absolutely not a wise decision; the losses will far outweigh the benefits! What good will it be to stake it all and risk peris.h.i.+ng?”

Skull squinted his eyes and callously said .

“Don"t forget, it"s very possible our Joseph, Kaoyi, Drizzt and the others died to them! Can we simply overlook this vengeance?”

Judas calmly answered .

“Because they are already dead, we cannot let dead men influence the choices of the living . ”

At this moment, Finarsih suddenly interrupted .

“I have a suggestion… . . ”

“Doesn"t it feel amazing?” Sheyan sat on a metal chair as he observed Zi"s back with great interest . Her loose long robe occasionally traced out interior curves which induced a sense of enticement .

Zi answered composedly .

“It"s been a long time since I"ve fought like that . In retrospect, I"m guessing you obtained this set equipment from an Awakener difficulty world right? I"m extremely curious, how did a lowest realm contestant like you acquire such equipments?”

“Oi oi oi!” Sheyan argued . “What lowest realm contestant, I object your phrasing! As for how I acquired them…fished up from the marketplace . ”

Zi speechlessly chided .

“Please don"t insult my intelligence . ”

Sheyan sighed .

“Everything is possible… . . right, we are left with 4 mins 48 seconds to return . According to my conjecture, they definitely won"t dispatch members to die in vain . You are about the face the might of an MT oh . ”

Zi indifferently scoffed .

“I have no qualms in guarding against anyone, but… . . I have a feeling, they have something else up their sleeves!”

Just when Zi concluded her sentence, Zeus and Skull were unanimously standing at the pa.s.sageway entrance .

Skull produced black glowing metallic gloves . Adopting a menacing countenance, he gobbled the gloves up with one mouth . "Kacha" sounds creaked out followed by softer munches .

Zeus took a step forward as he faced Zi . His gaze turned complex as he slowly muttered .

“Zi… . . ”

Zi"s pa.s.sionless gaze swept in without a word .

Zeus took a deep breath and continued .

“Ever since the day we went out separate ways, I knew this day would come . Do you still remember our aspiration when establis.h.i.+ng the Illume-union? To build the strongest party ever seen in this realm . But you, are now an obstruction to our aspiration, you are standing in our way!”

Speaking till here, the ground suddenly turned loose and brittle beneath his feet . His feet immediately stomped in, as rocks sprayed up till his feet was knee deep into the ground .

Then, he roared with agitation .

“Therefore, please, die peacefully today!!”

Zi took a deep breath . In this airtight bur rather airy s.p.a.ce, her breath sounded as though a certain unrivaled colossus was breathing; seemingly suck all the air from this s.p.a.ce!

A barely audible dignified roar suddenly shook the place .

An unfathomable grandeur streamed out from Zi"s body as she shut her eyes and opened it .

A golden vertical pupil emerged and unleashed pulses of chill down one"s soul .

A thick golden shade covered the remaining three rhombus mana crystal revolving around Zi .

Pa.s.sionless Dragonforce Bloodline awakened!

At this moment, only Sable was immensely astounded . He was exceedingly clear that her "Pa.s.sionless Dragonforce Bloodline" required over 700 HP and 1000 MP to awaken, and she could only attain such statistics in her optimal state .

Furthermore, she clearly experienced a series of battle . According to her former level, she probably lost over 30% of her Hp and 40% of her MP so far… . . in spite of that, she didn"t consume any medicine but succeeded in transforming .

Without a doubt, it meant that within this short duration, her MP and HP value and skyrocketed immensely!

Upon thinking of that, Sable didn"t sound out but staggered back consecutively . The crowd disdained him and thus, he didn"t attract any attention .

To Sable, he was already contemplating the possibility of Zeus failing, and thereby using him as a scapegoat for this defeat .

Two grand MTs acting to take down one individual!

What kind of scenario was that?

Don"t talk about Zi, even the bosses, Skull and Zeus, hadn"t witnessed such a situation before!

For her to hold on till now, Zi had undoubtedly relied on this naturally advantageous terrain, to exhibit an unparalleled terror never seen before . If not for this terrain, even if all her equipments were green set, it would be impossible to defy the dreadful might of two parties combined .

Only, for an MT with superb defenses, the scenario they feared the least was also such a narrowed battle .

Their innate calling was to absorb damages . They had no need to fear her valiant offenses . As long as they could push to her front, she would have to flee this narrow pa.s.sageway which would undoubtedly lead to their eventual victory .

Due to this terrain, Skull and Zeus unanimously only brought along one subordinate . After activating their MT abilities, they proceeded with rather slow movement; probably half that of the normal contestant . Such a movement speed decline possessed a rather powerful precedence, and seemingly nothing could raise it .

Because of that, every step of Skull and Zeus left an exceedingly deep impression on anyone present . Entrenching at every step while advancing gradually, going steadily but striking hard .

Every step exhibited a fort.i.tude that nothing in this world could hinder them .

Resolute, firm and substantial!

Those were the impressions released by Zeus and Skull .

After awakening the "Pa.s.sionless Dragonforce Bloodline", Zi experienced a huge change .

Her legs hovered 10 centimeters above the ground and her crescent dagger was stored . She now held a pair of silver rapiers, while her egyptian robe had changed into a black skintight robe that demonstrated her curves . Her figure that was worthy of pride was vividly and thoroughly portrayed . A cool, elegant and magnificent aura swirled around her fluttering long hair .

After transforming, her basic abilities remained present yet with a distinctive upgrade . For example, a "Force Collision Wall" evolved into "Dragonforce Sith Breath", and her "Force Needle Explosion" was transformed into "Dragonforce Grip" .

Meanwhile, Zeus brought along a strength type Growth-Hunter like Sable, while Skull brought along a marksman type Growth-Hunter . Especially with Skull"s protection, the marksman could freely fire and deliver troubles to Zi .

Facing two grand MTs storming in, Zi naturally wouldn"t resign herself to extinction as she commenced her probing a.s.sault .

Her twin rapiers danced along silver s.h.i.+mmers as she sliced out an "x" in mid-air . Instantaneously, an enormous "x" mark appeared some distance before Zeus, as though s.p.a.ce had been cleaved apart . A darkness churned turbulently within the fissure of that "x" mark .

A second later, the "x" thoroughly shattered and produced a phantasmic ma.s.sive dragon head . Then, an indescribably surge of black dragonbreath blasted out from amidst the dragon"s mouth!

Dragonforce Sith Breath!

Skull and Zeus immediately raised their s.h.i.+elds .

Both their s.h.i.+elds glittered with a striking silver, which clearly indicated the silver storyline grade . Instead, the silver glitters were quickly struck and devoured by the raging billows of the black dragonbreath . Still, the two s.h.i.+elds impressively withstood the dragonbreath and reduced much damages .

When the dragonbreath concluded, perhaps they had been burnt badly or perhaps not, nevertheless, they were merely forced half a meter backward from the "Dragonforce Sith Breath" . Moreover, they steadily guarded the individuals behind them,

Consecutively, the marksman Growth-Hunter seized the opportunity to shoot at Zi"s heart!

Fortunately, Zi"s agility wasn"t that low . She quickly darted away as the deadly bullets sc.r.a.ped past her chest .

She was about to counterattack but suddenly felt heat at her chest . Boom! The cloth at her chest suddenly combusted, prompting her to quickly quench the flames with her hands . This incident revealed a portion of her snowy white b.r.e.a.s.t.s and most of her black bra . Zi quicky took cover behind the wall .

Although Zeus and Skull"s advancing speed wasn"t impressive, the distance to Zi wasn"t far as well being merely a hundred meters . Without a doubt, a minute would suffice to reach her!

Furthermore, Zi"s "Dragonforce Sith Breath" couldn"t repel them back which pretty much guaranteed them breaching soon .

Under the incessant suppression of that marksman, Zi suffered a few bullets as she quickly darted behind the walls . This caused the aggressors to increase in confidence, as they believed victory was right before their eyes .

Soon enough, Zeus and Skull reached the middle of the tunnel, which was the exactly the fringe of the Ndipaya Marshland .

In this vile swamp, their speed swiftly dipped . If others travelled through here, they only sunk till their knee . In contrast, Skull and Zeus sunk till their thighs .

All of a sudden, Skull bent his back and begun coughing violently . In this instant, Zi"s eyes sparkled as she darted out once again .

Although she suffered three bullets and one of them an explosive strike, she once again unleashed her "Dragonforce Sith Breath" . Zeus quickly raised his s.h.i.+eld to block . Instead, the coughing Skull couldn"t guard in time .

Not only did the billowing black dragonbreath roast his face ashen, Skull took it head on and was blown backwards by the immense force .

Pss.h.!.+ He landed pathetically and 10 meters away onto the marshland .

The individual behind Skull was even more unfortunate . When Skull was blown backwards, he received the ending blast of the dragonbreath!

This marksman Growth-Hunter was pretty formidable and dealt with Zi viciously . Yet now, would the grudgeful and unforgiving Zi abandon this golden opportunity?

His eyes flickered ominously as she slashed out with twin rapiers!

A sudden regiment of flames ignited in the s.p.a.ce before the marksman . Strangely, a dull dense blackness lingered around the periphery of those flames . The flames danced up like an unjust ghost screaming for justice!

Within a split second, the flames congealed into a buzzing black fireball that struck ruthlessly against the marksman . When the fireball struck, few other tiny pearls of fire scattered before striking once more!

This was the evolved ability of her "Force Starthorns" – "Dragonforce Grieving Eclipse"!

Repeated pearls of fire smacked the marksman into the air .

After equipping the "Ndipaya set", Zi"s might had undergone a shocking upgrade . Right now, after transforming, she may not be able to deal with a perverse MT, but she could definitely ravage a marksman with low survivability fatally!

Although that Growth-Hunter was protected by Skull"s metal armour, he still suffered a few more a.s.saults from Zi!

This Growth-Hunter marksman had previously used his "Honorary Medicine" when duelling Aziz, and it was still cooling down . His eyes beamed with insane fl.u.s.ter as he was struck into near-death state .

Witnessing his predecessors being ruptured apart Zi, his heart jolted with panic as he decisively activated a precious realm returning object and vanished into thin air .

His heart bled bitterly, still, n.o.body could tell if he would regret this battle decision .

Don"t talk about the realm returning object he lost . More crucially, all his benefits gained in this Jura.s.sic Park World were utterly wiped out . As for his adventures in this world, he had actually reaped a dark-gold grade weapon!

Spectating the fading marksman, Zi sighed regretfully . She thought she could gain three more achievement points and an equipment drawing chance .

Yet the next moment when she glanced at Zeus, her lips curled into a sneer . The cooldown of her "Dragonforce Sith Breath" was only eight seconds .

Roughly 10 seconds later, Zeus, who had advanced another ten plus meters, started coughing violently for no reason .

His heart instantly constricted in fear of something . A second later, Zi"s "Dragonforce Sith Breath" arrived on schedule and struck him flying several meters away .

Thus, the aspect fell into a deadlock . Never before in their lives, had Zeus and Skull felt so pathetic . More crucially, as MTs, they couldn"t protect their men behind; such was this unforgettable humiliation!

Of course, the triggering rate of Sheyan"s "Bronchitis" ability wasn"t that invincible as to flare up hundred percent of the time, within every 15 seconds . Sadly, after venturing deeper into the marshland, the two MTs also had to face the speed declining effect of his "Curse-mix" .

Thus, the two MTs became two tortoises . They strived their utmost to advance a dozen plus meter, but would frequently be blown back while coughing violently .

Furthermore, the longer they dwelled in the marshland, the sooner they discovered its vile consequences .

This was the exact replica of the Kijuju Marshland! A crumbling destination that even Sheyan and Reef had paid dearly at . Moreover, this was the special ability of Zi"s set equipment; although they were MTs, how could they escape the marvellous gifts of the vile marshland?

Watching from behind, Finarsih"s countenance turned incomparably solemn as he mused .

“Must we really employ out last resort? Once we employ it, victory is a hundred percent guaranteed . However, the price I must pay will not be small!”

Very quickly, the wrestling tortoises in the marshland, Zeus and Skull, each received notifications from their nightmare imprints .

[ You are infected by x.x.x virus ]

[ You are infected by x.x.x bacteria ]

Various pestilences like septicaemia and hemorrhage fever appeared . Those pestilences created loads of complications and awkwardness for Sheyan and Reef previously . Right now, the same agony befell Zeus and Skull, as they were tortured tearfully in this G.o.dforsaken land .

Everyone could clearly observe the miserable state the two tanks were in . Ultimately, they would still be able to breach in eventually, however…… . it would require over six minutes to do so!

This was the situation that Zi strove to establish, after all, she needed just five minutes to return to the realm .

Meanwhile, back in the broader pa.s.sageway, Judas smiled eerily at Finarsih .

“My friend, you are stronger in all aspects of s.p.a.ce, if you choose not to act, then our agreement will regrettably end here . ”

The hesitant Finarsih replied coldly with a pale complexion .

“If you are willing to part with the special Tyrannosaurus dinocrystal, then I dare to risk my ability dropping by two levels, and build another teleportation portal!”

Judas"s scrawny face twitched slightly as though it was being carved by a knife . Eventually, he stretched out his hand with a sorrowful look; as though his parents just died .

On his palm, was a shocking black glowing crystal . This crystal was obtained after hunting down a Rank 6 Tyrannosaurus Rex . Moreover, this Tyrannosaurus had mutated strongly after nuclear radiation contamination, and thus its dinocrystal was exceedingly precious as well .

He was reluctant to give away this crystal, but cursed in his heart when Finarsih quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed it away .

Then, Finarsih begun chanting a weird incantation . As he chanted, bewildering characters flew out of his mouth and spiralled in mid-air around his body .

One could distinctly observe the agonizing look on Firnasih"s face . It was as though characters weren"t streaming out from his mouth but his organs instead . The characters gradually congregated to the front and mitted a black glow .

Soon after, the concrete ground started undulating as though the concrete was about to dissolve into a bowl of porridge .

A second later, six short but thick black arms erupted from the ground, and gripped each other to form a circular shape .

Those arms were distinctly robust and displayed bulging blood vessels and meridians . They were truly imitated to perfection, and could be described differently . The hands only exhibited three fingers with sharp, curly and long fingernails .

Finarsih then retrieved that mutated black Tyrannosaurus dinocrystal and placed it in the middle of those six arms .

Instantly, black energy beamed out from the dinocrystal and channeled into the six arms which formed a striking hexagram formation!

Upon receiving energy, the fingernails of those six arms grew longer and curvier . Black hair sprouted out thickly and waved around the air .

Then, a terrifying and nefarious claw begun ripping s.p.a.ce apart . Gradually, a vortex of darkness formed in the center of the hexagram .

As the nefarious claw continued tearing, the dark vortex repeatedly expanded . Eventually, one could observe a rather normal scene – a dimmed environment .

A messy laboratory with bloodstains on the ground, and the corpses of dead research a.s.sistants .

At this moment, one of Finarsih"s main abilities directly plummeted by two levels! One could observe his face turning pale while blood oozed out his nostrils and ears .

He stumbled backwards and hit the wall before weakly announcing .

“Go through that black vortex and reach the laboratory, a hundred meters away behind Zi . However, take note, this point to point teleportation isn"t stable . After one person pa.s.ses through, the next person can only be teleported 2-3 minutes later . ”

Judas groaned and replied .

“Since that"s the case, we can roughly use it only twice . The first one to be teleported is the most important, being able to produce sufficient might to disrupt Zi"s concentration . Also, this individual must be able to survive, otherwise, if Zi has prepared traps in that room, this teleportation trick will be in vain . ”

“Therefore, none is more qualified than me . ” A sharp squeak drifted in . The crowd glanced around but failed to detect the speaker .

Instead, the unfazed Judas spoke .

“Plague, why the interest in acting?”

Plague"s voice changed into a kiddy tone .

“Oh well, someone really likes that big sister . ”

Judas"s lips curled up .

“Indeed, you are the most suitable person . Your T-Virus can not only create zombies with those corpses and disrupt Zi, you can survive outstandingly yourself . If you go, n.o.body else would need to . ”

Plague"s voice abruptly turned hoa.r.s.e .

“So, should I go now?”

Judas hesitated briefly and said .

“Wait, there is still another factor . ”

“Factor?” Plague inquired doubtfully .

Judas nodded .

“Don"t" forget she isn"t alone . There is another backer with her, one that we don"t understand at all . Finarsih, can you share some information?”

Finarsih hesitated a little before speaking honestly . He too wasn"t familiar with Sheyan, only aware that he killed the Metals Professor once and was just an ordinary realm contestant . Then, he called out .

“Sable! Sable, are you familiar with that guy following Zi?”

However, no one answered Finarsih"s consecutive calls . As it turns out, Sable had left secretly .

Fortunately, a Growth-Hunter heard Sable"s story before and understood some information on Sheyan .

“That Seaman is just a normal realm contestant… . . a support cla.s.s and also a vice tank . He is pretty smart but it is said, he is exceedingly mysterious . ”

Plague"s raspy laugh arose .

“A very mysterious contestant . Excellent, I got it . Oh just nice, if he makes the cut, I still lack a support cla.s.s Licker . If he fails, then he"ll just be an ordinary zombie with spilled out guts . ”

Plague heavily emphasised on the word "contestant" . Though she didn"t say it disdainfully, her words contained an underlying implication . Her special skill tree ability allowed her to convert creatures one realm lower than her, into Licker slaves regardless of storyline characters or contestants!

A second later, a shadow shuttled through that incredibly strange vortex portal . In a flash, that vortex narrowed and the six demon claws begun tearing s.p.a.ce frantically once again . It seems like the teleportation port could only be re-established after a period of time .

A queer sound drifted in from behind Sheyan and Zi .

Although Zi didn"t show it, her heart tightened . She understood clearly that her back was immensely fragile! If the enemy had a method to surface behind, it would be extremely dangerous .

But at this moment, Sheyan uttered .

“Don"t worry, I got your back, unless I die . ”

She smiled but replied with a unhappy tone .

“If you can"t block the rear, what use is dying?”

Procrastinating footsteps echoed in from an unknown corner behind, along with the "woo, woo, woo" wails .

Moments later, a dozen or so white coat humans were dragging their feet while strolling over . Blood stained their faces and evil overcame their expressions .

Yet behind those zombies, a girl was unexpectedly floating in mid-air . Blood was oozing out from her nose and mouth as she gracefully floated up . A transparent and gloomy halo hovered above her head . Under the prompting of that halo, the zombies turned evidently faster .

Sheyan gently smiled as he observed them .

“Seems like they really can sneak up on our backs, so, they dispatched a summoner first? A zombie raising summoner? Really interesting . ”

Sheyan pulled out his "+7 West" and charged towards the group of zombies . An icy s.h.i.+mmering sharp blade sliced through s.p.a.ce, as Sheyan directly activated "Horn-rage" on the girl summoner .

Indeed, just the most common thing – capture the mastermind before the thief . Once the summoner disappears, the summoned would naturally vanish .

As Sheyan brutishly stampeded in, the zombies were knocked aside like a hot knife cutting through b.u.t.ter . He reached the girl and raised his saber loftily before hacking down .

Instead, at the instance he hacked down, a tiny portion of her left body inflated like a balloon and exploded .

Murky red blood mixed with ghastly white bones erupted in bits, and an awful nauseating stench was released into the atmosphere .

Sheyan was stunned . He clearly felt that his saber had yet to touch the woman"s body, yet she unexpectedly self-mutilated .

Blood and mangled pulps splattered onto Sheyan"s body and emitted a foul stench .

The remnant half of the woman stood without collapsing, and her eyes flickered with bloodl.u.s.t as she grabbed Sheyan"s saber tightly .

Meanwhile, the surrounding zombies howled sharply and flocked rapidly towards Sheyan, frenetically baring their eerie white teeth during the process .

Sheyan naturally retracted his saber, yet to his dismay, the woman offered no resistance as she adhered onto the blade like a sticky sweet…

Utilizing this saber corpse to slash forth, Sheyan naturally couldn"t exhibit its dreadful might .

At this moment, the pack of zombies swarmed in and attempted to chew on his flesh . Although Sheyan was mocked as merely a "basic realm contestant", his attributes still fully suppressed these ordinary zombies .

He allowed a vicious female zombie to pounce in and easily clamped her neck before exerting force . Kacha! The female zombie"s neck fractured as Sheyan brutally tore her head out . The pearl necklace worn on her neck broke apart, as the pearls flew out and bounced onto the ground .

The zombie regained her clarity before dying . Its dried up eyeball squirted out murky fluids, as her bony hands scrambled aimlessly for her beloved pearl necklace……instead, Sheyan mightily lifted the zombie"s calf as a secondary weapon, and quickly delivered the few deceased back to the underworld .

Half a minute into dissecting through the zombies, Sheyan looked extremely exhausted as he bent down with both hands over his knees and panted heavily .

At this moment, a kiddy girl voice echoed in from all corners of the room .

“Hehehe, big brother sure is formidable, oh what a powerful slave you will be! Don"t struggle anymore, come be my slave . ”

Sheyan scanned his environment in a fl.u.s.ter and fumed out .

“Who are you?! Who are you?? Coward hiding in the dark, don"t dare show yourself and fight?”

“You truly wish to see me? Ohh~~ I"m right hereee . ”

All of a sudden, a girl face surfaced at the entrance of a connecting room . Sheyan immediately charged over but a second later, was knocked back by a grotesque, abominable fleshy red figure .

This fleshy red figure was shockingly an incompletely mutated Licker . It still possessed a basic human frame, but half of its skull was missing due to an inflated decomposing brain . Depression and lumps covered its body, where bright red flesh were exposed beneath its tough skin .

A bloodied tongue slithered out from its mouth as the Licker glared at Sheyan . As the tongue shot in, Sheyan dodged to the side with a grunt and grabbed the Licker"s tongue . With his other hand, he cleaved down ruthlessly with his "+7 West"

Instead, the Licker seemed to have sense the terrifying threat of this dark-blue glittering weapon . With a freakish howl, the Licker leaped backwards and forcefully tore its own tongue like it was a lizard"s tail .

Following that, the Licker"s distorted joints twisted freely and propelled it back in . Observing previously that the Licker couldn"t retaliate, Sheyan hastily attempted to dodge, but the long toenails of the Licker still clawed out three long lacerations across his chest .

Sheyan raged out in response as he smashed a "Curse-Mix" flask on the ground . The 1 . 5 seconds of stun granted him an opportunity, as his saber light flashed out .

Moments later, the Licker screeched in agony after three quarter of his neck was nearly cleaved through! Turbid maroonish blood squirted out from its nearly severed throat, windpipe and blood vessels . Although the Licker strived to retreat, it was easily cut down by Sheyan .

In the midst of gus.h.i.+ng blood, the Licker screeched hoa.r.s.ely and finally scrambled away and seized a zombie by the side .

The zombie wrestled sluggishly beneath the claws of the Licker . Instead, the Licker enlarged its sickening jaws and begun feasting wildly on the zombie . The sounds of bone fracturing fill the room and after several crunches, the zombie"s flesh was forcefully shoved down into the Licker"s belly . Instantly, not only were the Licker"s wounds swiftly healing, its muscles were also robustly expanding!

Nevertheless, while the Licker was feasting, Sheyan pulled out "Ambition" and directly blasted its brain!

Sheyan then glanced towards that little girl, but instead, a chill welled up in his heart . As it turns out, that little girl floating at the entrance, was just a head! Everything beneath the neck had been utterly chewed away .

“Oh~woahhh!” Plague"s dragged out squeal resonated through the corners of the room .

This time, it was the a coa.r.s.e and crude male voice . Moreover, the tone of the voice sounded much warmer . “What a beautiful homeroom, didn"t imagine you to be so capable! Welcome to my procession of Lickers, buddy~~~!”

“Eat s.h.i.+t!” Sheyan roared out as he wiped off some blood on his face .

Plague was presently exceedingly confident and replied smugly .

“Weren"t you slaughtering so merrily? However, you failed to notice the wounds on your body . The real value carried by my pets, is the authentic T-Virus! Although ineffective on Growth-Hunters of my level, it can perfectly invade into the body of a mere basic realm contestant like yours!”

While she spoke, a zombie hobbled out from the darkness . In its hand, was a mirror .

Plague"s sharp laughter rang out again .

“Welcome to my zombie procession! Do you know why I allowed you to kill no . 2? Because it was originally a contestant, I can"t accept you as my slave without it dying! You shall be welcomed with utmost warmth, dummy~~I will bestow you to delicacy of my steamy p.o.o.p and my supple and gentle soles!”

By now, the zombie had targeted its mirror at Sheyan . Without warning, Sheyan"s skin started turning grey and his outline seemed to be shriveling up; all his flesh and muscles begun degenerating, while his hair lost its l.u.s.ter . Moreover, his gums were exposed and his eyes turned bloodshot .

“What"s going on? What"s happening to me?!!!” Sheyan roared in despair; his voice akin to the whimpers of a wounded beast . He started sweeping his "+7 West" frenetically and aimlessly around, even to the point of sc.r.a.ping his own flesh and feeling numb to it .

Flesh blood dripped from his saber blade but only served to amplify his bitter agony .

Plague issued a sharp and annoying giggle .

“Hehehe, Finarsih still wanted to dispatch another here . From the looks of it, that unlucky brat wouldn"t even have sc.r.a.ps left to eat!”

At this moment, the semi-deranged Sheyan abruptly turned solemn .

“There"s another one coming?”

“Of course, this point to point teleportation has a cooldown restriction of three minutes, heehee!” Plague sneered . “Wait what!!!”

Plague"s voice abruptly turned incisive and serious .

“How can you still maintain your rationality?? My T-Virus has already reached crisis outbreak, your brain should be craving to feast instead!”

Presently, one could also observe a thick ma.s.s of cyan vessels that had shockingly emerged from Sheyan"s chest . Those vessels stretched out towards the rest of his body, and wherever they pa.s.sed, the black aura of the T-Virus were dispersed in grey ashes . This sensation was that of complete suppression!

An incomparably defying suppression!

Suddenly, a strikingly resplendent golden pearl appeared in front of him, where its glow congregated onto his body! In that instance, golden pearl dimmed and became lightless .

Gold Pearl of the Caribbean Sea!

With a ma.s.sive upgrade of his perceptive sense, Sheyan charged wildly towards a nearby table . His dark-blue sabre flashed in and the table instantly vanished from sight .

Droplets of blood sprinkled down from mid-air as Plague"s sorrowful cry hissed out .

“Ahhhhhhhhh! Meaniee, how did you find out I was there!”

Sheyan released a callous smirk .

“You are the dummy . You think a chameleon-like ability with some illusory arts can render you unrivalled under heaven? Wanting to infect me with virus? Haha, don"t make me lose my teeth from laughing . Don"t you know? My virus has long infected your body, I"m refraining from letting it flare up!"

Plague howled out .

“Impossible… . . ”

Sheyan stood still with his sabre .

5-6 seconds later, he once again charged to a random corner while slas.h.i.+ng with his saber . Instead this time, his sabre landed on nothing, but merely leaving a streak of sparks and a deep scar on the war .

Plague"s conceited giggle echoed in again .

“Succeeding just once and you think you"ve seen through my powerful ability?”

Sheyan smiled craftily .

“I don"t need to see through anything . Three… . two… . . one!”

Following his countdown, a clear sneeze that broke the harmony of this environment resounded from Sheyan"s back .

Sheyan immediately retracted his saber and lunged backwards for a chop down .

A split second later, Plague"s agonizing scream pierced out again . Without hesitation, Sheyan hurled out a flask of "Curse-Mix" and offloaded another vicious slash with the 1 . 5 seconds of stun duration .

When Sheyan chopped down towards Plague, three humongous Licker pounced in from nowhere!

The three Lickers were completely blood red with twisted faces and vicious roars . One glimpse was enough to identify them as fully matured Licker hosts . Their claws were incomparably sharp as they blocked Sheyan"s chop!

Then, they retaliated chaotically with full strength against Sheyan .

“Oh, indeed a Growth-Hunter . Able to counter-attack even in this state . ” Sheyan mused nonchalantly to himself .

While speaking, he redirected his deflected blade into a horizontal sweep .

The three Lickers appeared to prioritize guarding their master . As a oceanic blue light slashed in, it left a thin wound across the arms of the three Lickers . Such a wound wasn"t worth mentioning to ordinary individuals, what more to immeasurably beastly Lickers?

“My kiddies, shred him into pieces!!” Plague"s defeated roar resounded out . However, her voice was currently that of a squeaky middle-aged female .

After Plague screamed out, the three gigantic Lickers formed a "品" (triangular) formation and trapped Sheyan in the middle . However, they didn"t seem to be proactive in attacking .

The three abominations towered two meters above him with tails that extended up to three meters . When surrounding Sheyan, they appeared like fortified steel walls .

Actually, Plague"s actions thus far was very normal . Instead, it was Sheyan"s performance that toppled all her common knowledge .

She couldn"t understand stand why a mere contestant could utterly negate her T-Virus .

She couldn"t understand how she, as an unparalleled T-Virus Growth-Hunter, could be infected by the enemy"s virus!

Thus, Plague acted in the most logical conduct at this moment; letting her summoned creatures hinder the enemy while she fled and hid . Dragging time may not be beneficial to the party, but it was extremely beneficial to her . Just another minute, and the teleportation portal would transport her comrade . With a scenario of two versus one, the outcome was pretty much settled . At least, it wouldn"t be so ridiculously absurd like now .

Sheyan viewed the gigantic Lickers that encircled him and muttered with great interest .

“Super powerful summoned creatures eh…… . beckoned at anytime with remarkable speed and vitality . Perhaps, their attack is their shortcoming but they propagate the fatal T-Virus . With them storming the front and attracting firepower, the remaining zombies can form into a raiding horde . Hoho, this is truly a seamless piece, but a pity, Plague, your only mistake is meeting me . ”

While speaking, Sheyan casually strolled out from the encirclement of the three gigantic Lickers . On the contrary, the three Lickers were like dumb wooden stick chicken sculptures rooted to the ground .

Of course, using sculptures to describe the three gigantic Lickers wasn"t very suitable, because, the three Lickers were faintly trembling .

That was the reflex action of an incomparably intense agony within their fles.h.!.+

At present, one could clearly observe an abnormality emerging on the arms of the three gigantic Lickers, the area where Sheyan"s blade had sc.r.a.ped against!

Though their wound was mild, Sheyan"s blade contained droplets of his own blood when he was previously acting crazy .

Blood that carried the powerful Virus!

After all, Sheyan"s Virus, was an invincible virus inherited from the "Stairway of the Sun" itself! There was even a stalk of living "Stairway of the Sun" in his body, that source of the progenitor virus .

As for the T-Virus of those gigantic matured Lickers, it was a byproduct of many experiments and modulation . Moreover, how could that virus conquer Sheyan"s perverted innate ability – "Stronghold"?

Thus, the strength of her T-Virus was already majorly weakened even at the start .

Therefore, when the Virus coursed through the body of the three gigantic Lickers, it smoothly occupied total superiority .

The wounds on the three gigantic Lickers shockingly swelled up, as surrounding blood vessels bulged horrifyingly; separating into cyan root strands that stretched deep into these biohazard abominations . In a flash, their consciousness were severed which followed by an avaricious absorption of their life essence!

Under such circ.u.mstances, could they still move? Did they dare to move?

Sheyan slowly marched into the darkness and calmly spelled out .

“Stop struggling, Plague, you can"t escape . ”

His tone was exceedingly composed, but carried the immense weight of life and death . It was as though he was spelling out a common fact like "1+1=2" .

5-6 steps into his march, a sudden fit of heart-wrecking cough echoed in from a dark room .

Sheyan leisurely stroll over as a hideous shriek rang in his ears . Then, Sheyan immediately witnessed as a tremendous beast lunged towards him!

However, Sheyan offered no intentions to dodge and stomped over . That beast was actually just a "paper tiger", where Sheyan easily kicked it cras.h.i.+ng into a wall; causing the illusion to swiftly fade away and reveal the figure of a middle-aged female, wheezing violently while slumping against the wall .

Sheyan walked over and met the panicking eyes of Plague . Of course, she attempted to retaliate, but Sheyan sighed and stomped down onto her chest .

Plague gazed at Sheyan with despair, like a helpless climber gazing at an insurmountable towering mountain peak .

A basic realm contestant was stomping onto her chest . She felt her body turn completely numb, as though it was betraying her soul . Her numb body wouldn"t carry out the orders of her brain!

Sheyan took his time in uttering .

“You ought to be carrying the T-Virus eh?”

He gaze at Plague"s shoulder, where a prune colored stream of blood trickled down a slash wound, which formed a nasty purplish scar .

Looking from her angle, that terrifying purplish scar appeared like a long smile that sneered strangely at her . Following that, she realized a certain terror; a searing agony began drilling deep into her body and dispersing around!

Sheyan sighed .

“I have no interest in your Lickers, and wouldn"t degrade myself into letting others consume my feces . But someone who threatens me in that manner, I will never let them off easily!”

As he spoke, Sheyan stomped down onto Plague"s head .

One stomp! Two stomp! Three stomp!

Blood splattered everywhere as Plague"s head slammed against the floor consecutively .

Following that, Sheyan raised his "+7 West" as an oceanic-blue radiance poured down .

Despite so, Plague had evidently antic.i.p.ated his saber and hissed out wildly, as a transparent barrier suddenly formed around her . When his saber slashed in, the damage recoiled onto himself as he groaned and retreated 5-6 steps back; blood oozed from both his hands .

Plague was truly a malicious yet intelligent woman . She"d rather suffer indignity and deliver a final smack to her opponent"s face, so that her next comrade would have some advantage .

She stared maliciously at Sheyan and hissed out .

“The next time we meet, I will kill you!!!!” After speaking, the transparent barrier around her body started shrinking rapidly . It would eventually transform into a pin in a sea and utterly vanish from this world .

Evidently, Plague had activated a realm returning object . Though it"s negative effects were immense, it could still preserve her life .

However, Sheyan offered a long sigh and scoffed .

“Do you think only Judas and Finarsih possesses the ability to disrupt s.p.a.ce? There is no next time, Plague . So, hurry and leave behind your last words . ”

At this moment, blue and transparent wavy strands penetrated into this round in an unceasing stream . The strands coiled around Plague and appeared as if they was distorting and shaking s.p.a.ce! It seemed as though the world was being swept by a wave .

This strand indeed came from the tip of one of Zi"s silver rapier .

Although she was locked in a gruelling battle, she still managed to find an opportunity to unleash a supporting ability .

Skywalker Force – Strands of Time!

One could distinctly observe the rapidly shrinking transparent barrier around Plague, being fanatically hindered by those strands of time . Then, the barrier stopped shrinking and eventually swiftly expanded, before morphing back into an object that disappeared in Plague"s hand!

Her countenance turned ghastly pale, and as she was about to speak, Sheyan didn"t offer her a chance .

Besides, Sheyan was a decisive individual . A unceasing chain of ocean-blue radiance poured down from his "+7 West", which released a supremely high-pitch mournful scream from Plague before the scream gradually faded… .

At the same instance, a clear notification rang into Sheyan"s ear .

[ You killed a Growth-Hunter (unknown) . 4 achievement points awarded ]

[ This is a party battle, please freely allocate the achievement points ]

[ Limit of slayer achievement points in this world is 10 points . Once limit is exceeded, the allocated achievement points will not be refunded . Please allocate wisely ]

[ Note: You have already reached the limit of 10 slayer achievement points ]

[ Random slayer draw bonus: Equipments of the dead contestant will be randomly drawn and allocated randomly to party members ]

[ Drawing process may take some time . Calculating data of the deceased contestant… . please wait patiently ]

Sheyan sighed and allocated the 4 achievement points to Zi without hesitation . Zi calmly accepted them and said in the party channel .

“I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”

Sheyan smiled wryly and replied .

“The good news . ”

Zi calmly answered .

“The goods news is that my "Skywalker Force – Strands of Time" has unintentionally affected Finarsih"s point to point teleportation portal . Though it isn"t destroyed, its cooldown is delayed by minimally 60 seconds . You have another 60 seconds to rest . ”

Sheyan asked .

“And the bad news?”

“The realm system is similarly affected and likewise, our time of return is extended by roughly 60 seconds . ”

Sheyan sighed .

“More importantly, how long can you hold up?”

Zi straightforwardly answered .

“I"ve already utilized my honorary medicine . I still have the party"s "Gloryheal" ability, which is outside of their expectations . Therefore, sustaining till our return isn"t a problem . ”

Sheyan chuckled .

“That"s good, don"t worry about my side . ”

Zi didn"t know why, but she exceptionally disliked Sheyan"s confident self . She pursed her lips and inquired .

“What gives you such confidence?”

Shayan laughed heartily in response .

“Obviously . They dispatched Plague who is adept in concealment and also a summoner, yet I eliminated her so quickly . Moreover, you also mentioned that party channel communications would be disrupted for a period after pa.s.sing through the teleportation portal . Thus, what would our enemies, who can"t obtain any combat report, think?”

“They will surely reckon I"m a formidable perceptive sense and offensive might type! They won"t even consider me being a natural bane to her, and will surely dispatched someone suitable against my two "outstanding" points . Since that"s the case, they"ve coincidentally fell into my concept! To me, defeating someone may be difficult, but dragging for time isn"t a problem . ”

Indeed, Sheyan"s conjecture seemed rather flawless, but the realms of men is filled with deviations; otherwise, theories would be sufficient in solving all problems .

Although members of Skull Party couldn"t communicate with Plague, the death of a party member was still a major noticeable event .

As they observed, Growth-Hunter no . 076ac11 fading away from the party list, a bone-piercing chill crept into the hearts of the members of Skull Party .

Judas"s expression was exceedingly sullen as he opted to remain silent . Another Growth-Hunter called Avis breathed in deeply and said .

“2 minutes 57 seconds… . and Plague died, even her realm returning object was rendered ineffective . Trista, can you deal with this?”

Trista was someone who fought Sheyan and company before, that markswoman in Drizzt"s team . Back then, Mogensha"s suppression was so great that he forced her to be fully occupied; thus, she didn"t really spectate much of Sheyan"s battle process .

Upon hearing Avis"s suggestion, she bluntly replied .

“No . ”

Avis declared coldly .

“I"m starting to suspect that we"ve been set up by Glory Party . Pui! A basic realm contestant can finish off Plague in just 2 minutes and 57 seconds . Who will believe such words! Hmm, but the next entry is in 30 seconds, who will go next? I will definitely not fight an unknown wildcard . Trista, do you dare?”

Trista immediately raged out .

“Are you calling a marksman to partic.i.p.ate in a street fight? Is your brain rotting with tubeworms or your tongue infected with syphilis?”

While they conversed, the others retreated backwards successively . After all, the risks were too great and the rewards didn"t weigh up . More crucially, not volunteering equals to zero losses . Who the h.e.l.l would be willing to risk it?

Avis paused briefly before saying .

“Judas, I think the one most suited to deal with that brat, is Este from our Chicago branch . His Ice element abilities have reached perfection and can surely destroy that brat . ”

Judas"s face twisted slightly . “This idiot"s words are equivalent to not speaking . Este clearly didn"t enter this world with us! Moreover, even if he did, he wouldn"t be the key to resolving this problem, but may become a source to another problem . ”

This was because Este was a capable man full of ambitions . If not for Skull"s natural MT superiority, only Este would be able to vye for the position of party leader .

Not only would Este refrain from a.s.sisting, he would definitely blame Judas and Skull for being incapable and attempt to wrestle away the hearts of the party members .

Yet why did Avis risk offending Skull and Judas to question the party"s decision, he similarly harbored selfish intentions… . but why?

Because when Plague died, he immediately reckoned the opponent was a high perceptive sense and damage type . Coincidentally, Avis was an individual suited to curb such contestant types . If he didn"t step up to muddy the waters, Judas would undoubtedly kick him through the teleportation portal………he wanted to avoid this large risk low returns situation at all costs .

Hence, managing a party was indeed an extremely arduous affair . After all, a person"s heart was the hardest to grasp, what more these powerful Growth-Hunters?

Just when an internal squabble was about to happen, the teleportation portal opened once again . The six demonic claws tore through another unstable spatial pa.s.sage .

This time, an individual that n.o.body in Skull Party expected strode into the portal without a single word .

This wasn"t anyone, but the incredibly s.e.xy and voluptuous Patrice in her skintight clothes!

Ever since witnessing Plague"s death signal, she stood by the teleportation portal without issuing a word . Once the portal regained its efficacy, she immediately stepped through the portal .

Both Sheyan and Zi couldn"t afford to locate or watchover the teleportation portal . To guard against that, Sheyan directly sat on a stool ten meters behind Zi .

When Patrice"s s.e.xy figure surfaced in his line of sight, Sheyan offered an extremely warm wave .

The 1 . 8 meters tall Patrice steadily glanced over . Her deep sapphire eyes seemed to reflect reverse shadows within perfectly .

“So it was you who killed Plague?”

Sheyan bluntly nodded .

“Yup, she wanted to kill me, but I beat her to it . Why do you care?”

Patrice stared callously .

“If she wanted to kill you, why didn"t you let her do so?”

Sheyan sighed and replied .

“Woah, this joke isn"t even one bit humorous . ”

Patrice directly raised her left arm and swiped across with the strange pointed finger cot on her index finger . As she ripped through the air, an incomparably dazzling ray whizzed in towards Sheyan .

Kacha! The stool beneath Sheyan cracked and burst into firewood splinters as he sprung up . He then swung forth his "+7 West" saber to meet the incoming "High-Frequency Sliceray"!

Patrice repeated her finger swiping action once more, as another incomparably dazzling ray sliced out towards Sheyan .

Without dodging, Sheyan continued slas.h.i.+ng his saber as he charged in . Yet when his "+7 West" saber blade interacted with Patrice"s "High-Frequency Sliceray", the two blows unexpectedly bypa.s.sed each other while minding their own business!

When Sheyan"s blade arrived before Patrice, her "High-Frequency Slicerays" struck his body and released a series of violent eruptions; sending Sheyan flying away!

He rolled several rounds in mid-air before cras.h.i.+ng to the ground . All his clothes were tattered and torn and he looked like a beggar . Still, his gaze remained callously sharp and his hand as firm as a rock!

“Not a good feeling right?” Patrice coldly admonished . “This is just the beginning! I will mince your body inch by inch . ”

As she spoke, she unleashed another "High-Frequency Sliceray", that was shockingly aiming for Zi!

Sheyan"s pupils constantly contracted . At this moment, the pressure on Zi was immense as she prevented two MTs from pressing in . If she received a sneak attack, that may very likely be the final straw to collapse the camel!

Thinking of that, Sheyan immediately dove in and received the sliceray with his body, and was instantly blasted away .

After being blasted twice, even though was a contestant the damage he sustained wasn"t light at all .

Droplets of blood trickled down his cheeks and gathered at his chin . He could seemingly feel a burning warmth through his nostrils and his heart thumping powerfully . Raising his head, he glared at Patrice like a fiery wolf .

“Congratulations, you"ve succeeded in infuriating me . ”

Patrice replied icily .

“Indeed my exact sentiments . ”

Patrice released another deadly ray as her voiced faded . Simultaneously, Sheyan pulled out "Ambition" .

The sounds of the swoos.h.i.+ng tide reverberated through the place as Sheyan activated "Rum & Songs" and fired at Patrice .

A lethal lead bullet pierced into her developed chest and pushed her slightly back, however… . . she actually resisted the stunning effect of "Ambition"! This was the awkward scenario where stronger Growth-Hunters may possess equipments that negate stunning effects .

Fortunately, Patrice released her "High-Frequency Sliceray" at the same time she was shot, causing the deadly sliceray to deviate and strike against a wall before noiselessly diffusing into the wall . A water pipe behind the wall was then struck and sprayed out large volumes of water .

Within a range of approximately 20 meters, her "High-Frequency Sliceray" could negate 50% of defence . In addition to its lethal damage, it was truly a problem for Sheyan .

Before she could streak out another "High-Frequency Sliceray", Sheyan hurled out a "Curse-Mix" which smashed out a 1 . 5 seconds stun in her face .

He then raised "+7 West" as the blue currents of "Zergling Rush" rapidly jolted through his body .

m.u.f.fled groans leaked out amidst splashes of blood .

In fact, Patrice had belittled his outrageous dark-blue grade weapon . She didn"t antic.i.p.ate it would possess such terrifying damage and even executed in three rapid slashes .

Still, an incredibly sharp glow sparkled out from Patrice"s finger cot .

All of a sudden, the phantom of an Alaskan Bald Eagle appeared behind her back, where that incredibly sharp glow represented the dreadful beak of the phantasmic eagle!

In a flash, the eagle flapped its wings and drilled through Sheyan .

In that instant, Sheyan"s HP plunged to a critical 20% state, yet more crucially, Reef wasn"t present in this world which represented the impossibility of "Life-link" .

Reflecting on that, Sheyan immediately activated an item he acquired in the Avatar world – "Na`vi"s secret herb" . Following that, he endured the pain and continued chopping away viciously .

You"re fierce, but I"ll be fiercer than you!

You"re deadly, then I"ll be deadlier than you!

The brave triumphs in a head-on battle on a narrow path!

Sheyan didn"t believe an agile type growth-Hunter could trade blows for blows with an MT . This wasn"t purely about guts but a battle custom; just like how a thief type wouldn"t clash head on with a berserker in WoW .

In spite of that, Sheyan"s conjecture was wrong again . After a short 5-6 seconds of slas.h.i.+ng his saber twice, Patrice unexpectedly unloaded a barrage of frighteningly devastating damage; leaving Sheyan riddled in wounds as though he was condemned to death by cuts .

Wherever she injured resulted in a searing spicy pain that felt like a razor was endlessly sc.r.a.ping .

This woman actually possessed a supporting ability that bolstered her attack speed and damage, and seemed as though she possessed no fear in a bitter war of attrition!

Water continued spraying out of the nearby wall and quickly washed away the blood staining Sheyan"s body, which exposed his white ghastly wounds . Yet a second later, Patrice"s fingernails clawed off another chunk of flesh from those wounds .

Sheyan slashed frantically with his saber, as filthy sordid water splashed against both their faces . He panted heavily as a suffocating sensation welled up in his heart .

Moments later, a dull greenish radiance emanated out from Patrice who was covered in fresh wounds . That was the indication of medicine consumption, where one could clearly observe her wounds rapidly regenerating . Her tattered and ripped skin tight attire revealed her voluptuous figure, and granted a certain erotic charm to her .

“You"re not the only one with an exceptional healing medicine . ” Patrice sneered . “I too have one! I said I will mince you flesh by flesh, I will surely accomplish it . ”

Sheyan lifted his head as blood streamed down his brows to worsen his miserable appearance . Nevertheless, his eyes remained feverish and firm, like an unwavering mountain peak that couldn"t be toppled!

“Let"s see who will be the first to flee like a pathetic dog, which will surely be you!”

The two chiseled away crazily at each other like two primitive wild beasts, clawing and slas.h.i.+ng away chunks of flesh .

Right now, Sheyan"s HP was declining much faster than Patrice and had fallen to below 50% . Instead, Patrice, who recently consumed a regenerative medicine, still had over 80% HP .

Despite so, Sheyan resolutely pressed on .

Suddenly, Patrice felt an annoyingly intense headache before consecutively unleas.h.i.+ng an ability called "Melodious Shadowcuts ", which would deal an extra 110% weapon damage to the enemy . She immediately received an abrupt announcement of a amplified mana exhaustion .

Her heart instantly tightened . The reason she could maintain such a high rate of attack, was due to the incredibly short cooldown of this "Melodious Shadowcuts" . Moreover, she was sustaining her attack power with another remarkable ability as well .

However, at the splitting moment of that headache, the MP required to execute her "Melodious Shadowcuts" was suddenly doubled!

After all, she was an agility type contestant, and though her mana pool was adequate, it definitely wasn"t abundant .

After consuming medicine to regenerate her vitality, the next concern would naturally be wastage of MP . If she persisted in using the "Melodious Shadowcuts", her MP may be utterly drained during this period of headache .

Hence, Patrice could only halt this signature move of hers .

Sensing that her offense had slackened, Sheyan revealed a sly smile .

As expected, just a mere 5-6 seconds later, her headache dissipated but Patrice strangely felt her throat itching . Unable to contain the itch, it spiralled into a fit of violent coughs .

Seizing this moment, Sheyan slashed horizontally through with "+7 West" without sparing any effort, leaving behind a long mutilated wound across her snow white belly . Then, he followed up with an upper-cut slash that sent her flying away .

After cras.h.i.+ng to the ground, Patrice recovered from coughing . Her eyes were bloodshot as she screamed and charged forward .

Instead, Sheyan retreated several steps into the poison fog of his "Curse-Mix" . At present, he no longer feared Patrice releasing any "High-Frequency Slicerays" at Zi . If that happened, he would just block it head on .

As it turns out, Sheyan had long estimated this – the "High-Frequency Sliceray" dealt excellent damage and even negated some defence, yet it possessed an extremely low cooldown…adding these three points together, one could say it was a heaven-defying skill . If its mana consumption was equally low…congratulations, that would minimally be an "S" rank ability, either that or a supremely high rank ability .

If Patrice possessed such a formidable "S" rank ability, would she still be a mere ordinary member of Skull Party?

Indeed, through this brief duel, Sheyan discovered the greatest flaw of this Growth-Hunter .

Her weapon appeared ordinary, at best a silver storyline grade weapon or perhaps a black grade weapon . Its attack power should be easily curbed by Sheyan"s innate ability . Therefore, she was very likely attacking with active abilities…… . this signified that MP would become a ma.s.sive issue; a shortcoming in a war of attrition .

Observing Sheyan retreating into a fog of movement speed reduction, Patrice"s eyes burnt furiously and charged in without caring much . At present, she could roughly estimate his HP to be 29%, why wouldn"t she pursue?

Relying on the 25% movement speed reduction, Sheyan proceeded to prioritize defending as his HP drained slower .

Indeed, he was awaiting the next round of symptoms of his "Influenza lvlmax" ability . There was a possibility this would perverse ability proc in every 10 seconds .

Of course, don"t forget his "Bronchitis" ability as well, where symptoms may occur every 25 seconds . Moreover, there was a 10% chance for the violent coughing effect to proc, when the negative effects of "Influenza" (sneeze, s.h.i.+ver, headache) occurs .

Thus, when Sheyan"s HP plunged to 18%, Patrice"s MP was finally fully exhausted…causing her next strike to be an ordinary offensive damage .

Sheyan wasn"t in a hurry to end this battle, intending to employ the treacherous effects of his "Influenza" ability to torment her .

Eventually, when his health fell to 13%, he stabbed his saber mercilessly through Patrice"s womb; blood gushed out as she fell into near-death state .

Patrice clutched the blade of "+7 West" with both hands as she stared at Sheyan with a pair of venomous eyes; as though wanting to commit his aura into memory .

Then, she unexpectedly and viciously pulled the saber in and committed suicide!

Sheyan was stunned when presented with this queer suicidal move by Patrice . Instead, his nightmare imprint notified him .

[ Growth-Hunter no . k990658 has activated "System Clone" ]

[ You killed Growth-Hunter no . k990658"s clone ]

[ Detail: You do not receive any achievement points or slayer points, but will receive two random equipments from the clone ]

[ Detail: Growth-Hunter no . k990658 has revived in her personal room, losing half of her equipments . Her attributes will be restored to the latest moment of clone backup ]

Seeing the list of notifications, Sheyan relaxed a little; understanding that Patrice was exceedingly arrogant and would rather commit suicide than die to him .

With the pressure lifted, Sheyan slumped to the ground and coughed intensely . It was as though his lungs were tattered bellows and every cough issued a stabbing agony .

Actually, the root reason for Sheyan being battered so miserably by Patrice, was also due to the earlier bitter battles .

Previously, Sheyan faced the crus.h.i.+ng rampage of Hammond"s child, a hybrid dinosaur boss of the Awakener realm level . He even suffered two terrifying high-voltage electric shocks and was struck into near-death state . The injuries he sustained then was extremely grave and some of his organs were probably failing .

Such injuries were equivalent to incapacitation of limbs . Although he could recover, his regeneration speed became fairly slow . Only by resting for 8-12 hours, would he be able to restore his proper bodily functions .

Thus, when Sheyan battled Plague, his wounds worsened once again . During his standoff with Patrice, one could imagine how nasty his condition was, so much so, that he had to consume the precious "Na`vi Secret Medicine" to force out a victory .

As for Patrice and Plague, their relations.h.i.+p was truly peculiar .

Oh, Patrice was bis.e.xual while Plague had given up on romance after being hurt by a man before entering the realm . Thus, they got along just fine but the incompatibility in personalities resulted in frequent arguments . Still, those arguments didn"t affect their relations.h.i.+p .

To summarize with an example, please refer to the novel – "sword stained with royal blood" . The exact relations.h.i.+p between He Hongyao and Xia Xueyi .

Sheyan felt much better after coughing . Still, his organs transmitted pangs of convulsing pain that prompted him to quickly consume some other medicines .

Meanwhile, Zi"s situation was grim . One could seemingly observe an inferno in Skull"s and Zeus"s eyes, as they pressed in within 10 meters of Zi . Two other Growth-Hunters they s.h.i.+elded behind them began pouring out a.s.saults .

If not for Zi"s matchless offensive might and her ruthlessness in dispatching others, in addition to the enemies experiencing a disease outbreak, they would"ve long broken through her defense .

In spite of that, Zi was on the verge of collapse as her complexion paled considerably . She was purely relying on will and mental strength .

Truth to be told, after experiencing such an insane roller coaster of a journey in this Jura.s.sic Park World, her mental fort.i.tude was simply exceptional .

Think about it, what was her mental state upon entering this world?

Harboring great expectations as she led her party to seek for revival in this world .

Yet in the end, she was betrayed . All her loyal subordinates perished . She was forced into a dead end .

What sort of traumatic blow was that to one"s mental capacity?

Following that, came the rescue; a glimmer of hope at her darkest hour……only to be sandwiched by two redoubtable MT parties before departing this world!!!

Regaining heart, only to have one"s hopes dashed once again .

During then, her will was utterly crushed . Nevertheless, Sheyan forcibly reignited it with his indomitable charm and methods!

Hence, as she stood at the end of this tunnel, her willpower and belief had reached an all time high .

Perhaps to a Growth-Hunter, combat statistics were king while willpower and belief was purely intangible fantasy . Still, even the greatest weapon requires some skill to use .

After all, a Growth-Hunter was similarly human and not a robot . Just like the difference between a common pilot and an elite pilot, one would exhibit different levels of combat prowess with the same equipment .

Under normal circ.u.mstances, one"s willpower and belief may not manifest much difference . However, humans are without errors, and frequently during times of crisis when the pressure multiplies, the chances of mistake increases as well . That is where willpower and belief comes into play, allowing one to display a composed fort.i.tude to grasp the errors of others or resolve one"s own error .

That was also why Zi could persevere until now .

Sheyan regulated his breathing as he returned to Zi . Witnessing her holding up, and reckoning time was almost up, he hurled a flask of "Curse-Mix" into the tunnel .

Then, he swooped in and hoisted up Zi onto his shoulder before escaping .

The unbending Zi hadn"t experienced this before . She was still focused on knocking Skull flying again, before abruptly feeling as though a cloud had picked her up; her world overturned as she seemed to be moving swiftly away .

After a brief delay, did she realized she was being carried on Sheyan"s shoulder as he fled for dear life . Her vision immediately darkened and she didn"t know whether to laugh or cry .

Any woman would surely dream of being embraced by her sweetheart . Even the less intimate kind would desire a powerful hug . Zi was no exception . She had even envisioned snuggling up to a man she admired…but never before, had she dreamt of being lifted up tightly like a sandbag by a sprinting man!

When Zeus and Skull finally barged through the poison fog of "Curse-Mix", Sheyan had carried Zi past a corner and boarded the elevator down . After stepping out of the elevator, he also ruined it .

At this moment, transport to the nightmare realm was restored .

Heaving a deep sigh of relief, both Sheyan and Zi simultaneously selected to return .

Their surroundings gradually blurred and when they became clear again, they were inside the world summary room .

Only now, did Zi realized her current posture was extremely inelegant .

While sprinting away, Sheyan attempted to speed up with Zi"s long legs flinging around in his face . Thus, his hand was presently and crudely grabbing onto one of Zi"s b.u.t.t cheek, while his face was near her lower abdomen . It didn"t feel so awkward while fleeing, but now, even Zi felt exceedingly uncomfortable .

“Put me down . ” Zi voiced out softly .

At present, Sheyan was as exhausted as a dog while panting with his tongue spilling out . Naturally, he wasn"t harboring any wild and fanciful thoughts .

Following that, Zi naturally proceeded with the summary .

In contrast, Sheyan was transported here through Demondream"s "s.p.a.cetime Wormhole", and wasn"t linked to this world at all . Naturally, he left in the same manner as he came .

Upon returning, Mogensha and Reef didn"t feel anything abnormal at all, and were immensely shocked after Sheyan spontaneously recounted his experience; such a tremendous affair happened after they had left .

If the two of them were present, Reef and Zi could take turns defending the tunnel exit and their situation wouldn"t have been so dire . Still, what"s done is done, regrets are useless .

Sheyan then received a notification from his nightmare imprint .

[ Will of Growth-Hunter no . 89912 (deceased) has been accomplished ]

[ You can freely obtain one option from her equipment, item, achievement points or utility points as your inheritance ]

[ Detail: Your current military rank is Major . You can pay 1 achievement point and 10,000 utility points for a chance of redraw ]

[ Detail: Redraw doesn"t mean draw another . You must give up the first drawn reward to redraw ]

To Sheyan, Demondream"s equipments weren"t very enticing . Not only was she an agility type Growth-Hunter, Zi had channelled all the party"s resources to Yuan Zhan . Hence, she wouldn"t provide any outstanding equipment .

As for Demondream"s items, she would"ve definitely exhausted most of them before peris.h.i.+ng .

Regarding utility points, although she definitely acc.u.mulated some in the realm, it wouldn"t be too excessive . Moreover, Sheyan reckon she wouldn"t present any surprises . After all, her resources could be pooled together with the party, leaving only some reserve utility points for personal use… . . only achievement points incited some antic.i.p.ation in Sheyan .

Brother Black didn"t really understand . Since Demondream"s utility points could be transferred to the party, why not achievement points?

Indeed, Sheyan wasn"t antic.i.p.ating Demondream"s acc.u.mulated achievement points at all .

Don"t forget, Demondream"s dagger had fallen into the hands of Kaoyi of Skull Party . Therefore, she undoubtedly battled members of Skull Party before, and for a stealthy agile type killer like her, eliminating a single official Growth-Hunter of Skull Party would earn her 4 achievement points… . . if Demondream eliminated ten of them, man that is impossible .

It would be a remarkable feat to harvest the lives of 2-3 individuals already . As for Sheyan, he reckoned she could at least provide 10 achievement points .

Of course, one couldn"t exclude the possibility of Demondream immediately squandering her achievement points to upgrade an ability after killing someone . That was nonetheless a minute probability . Moreover, apart from the crucial achievement points, upgrading abilities would concurrently require utility points and potential points . Thus, judging from the Illume-union"s state of affairs, Demondream may not hit that requirement .

Thus, Sheyan didn"t hesitate spending to redraw after drawing the option of "utility points" the first time .

His wish came true the second time . Even so, the amount of achievement points obtained didn"t meet their expectations, but wasn"t too measly as well . To Sheyan, 6 achievement points could be considered pleasant .

Noteworthily, Sheyan had long received the two equipments from eliminating Plague and Patrice . However, due to the tremendous pressure at that time, he merely swept a glance through without pondering much . Right now, he finally had the time to inspect them carefully .

Plague dropped a headdress equipment . It was a hat crafted with an unknown leather material with white spots . A thin layer of fur coated the hat which felt extremely smooth to touch . Black spotted feathers adhered to the tip of the hat which appeared succinctly pristine . Wearing it would impress a medieval bearing .

When Sheyan browsed through its attributes, he felt his hair stand .

[ Voldemort"s Allure ]

[ Origin/crafter: Voldemort and a contestant ]

[ Equipment rarity: Silver Storyline grade ]

[ Material: Calcium carbonate / calcium phosphate / Chitin/ Sulfuric Keratin ]

[ Addons: Nil ]

[ Weight: 0 . 74 kg ]

[ Usage requirements: Charm 20 points, perceptive sense 12 points ]

[ Durability: 11/20 ]

[ Property: Success rate of taming creatures increase by 4% x3 ]

[ Property: Charm and perceptive sense +4 ]

[ Property: All attributes +2 ]

[ Property: While taming a creature, there is a chance of the grievous animal spirits in the hat to affect results ]

[ Detail: When the grievous spirit of Hedwig appears, your taming process will fail instantly . You will suffer the shackles of an arcane magic . During this period, all abilities will require additional 100% mana ]

[ Detail: When the grievous spirit of Dudley Dursley appears, your tamed animal will turn berserk and turn against you ]

[ Details: When both spirits appear simultaneously, this equipment will lose all effects and only regain them upon returning to the nightmare realm . You will be bitten into near-death state by the grievous spirits, but the chances of taming the creature increases by 20% ]

[ Warning: The owner of this hat, even if it is placed inside one"s personal storage, will create an "eternal hatred" relations.h.i.+p with Harry Potter and be pursued relentlessly by him ]

[ Description: Weakening day by day, Voldemort senses an immense threat from Harry Potter . Sparing no efforts to weaken Harry"s prowess, he created numerous powerful magic blueprints to build invincible equipments worthy of being drooled over . For this blueprint, the two most crucial materials are Hedwig"s feathers and the skin of Dudley Dursley…… . Voldemort"s dark magic has never vanished from this ]

[ Evaluation: Oh, someone actually dares to craft a dark equipment . Friend, do not solely place personal profits before all else, otherwise, life is fleeting… . . ]

Sheyan inhaled a chilling breath upon examining this equipment .

He possessed some understanding towards Summoners" equipments . It was no wonder Plague could control four ma.s.sively powerful Lickers . Though the grade of his hat was only silver storyline, it was hard to decipher its true value; perhaps, it may even surpa.s.s that of the "+7 Chieftain"s Hobby"!

To a summoner, the success rate of creature taming was akin to the explosive strike rate of a main damage dealer . What implications would it mean to a damage per second dealer if an equipment had 16% chance of explosive strike rate?

What more, that inconceivable property of bolstering charm and perceptive sense by 4 points, and then adding another 2 points to all attributes?

Of course, this equipment presented a terrifying difficulty as well . Just think about it, in the Harry Potter world, offending him would be akin to offending Hogwarts . It would be incredibly arduous to proceed . The main mission would definitely be upgraded by an entire difficulty rating .

Most importantly, a secret concern may be hidden beneath its powerful attributes . Voldemort may even coerce the possessor into doing his bidding . Thus, no matter how formidable it seemed, it contained tremendous underlying implications .

As for Patrice, she dropped an equipment that was compatible with Sheyan .

It was a black grade bracer that provided +4 physique and increased blocking chance by 2% . However, it caused both explosive strike rate and accuracy to decline by 2% .

After wearing the bracers, to suppress his attributes from the boundary breakthrough, Sheyan expended another 4,000 utility points .

This was also the reason why Sheyan saved up on free attribute points . If he added the 20 free attribute points before suppressing them with his military authority, he would have to fork up 20,000 utility points instead .

At present, his pure physique attribute was 32 points . Theoretically speaking, he had attained his goal of 50 pure boundary breakthrough . However, after inquiring, he realized that raising 49 points of pure physique to 50 points was an exceptionally critical point . Thus, it required 5 free attribute points instead .

As such, Sheyan would need 3 free attribute points in the next world .

Sheyan could distinctly feel his personal prowess waning as he progressed, it was like playing mahjong where his tiles became worse . Fortunately, he calculated that the next world would be his turn to break out of the the coc.o.o.n . Although the situation was becoming tougher, Sheyan held utmost confidence in succeeding in the next world .

Nevertheless, he actually made a slight mistake in his judgement . Sheyan had forgotten about one fact when discerning himself with regards to the recent two worlds – regardless of the Resident Evil Origins World or the Jura.s.sic Park world, they both weren"t normal worlds he should be in!

Both worlds were actually of greater difficulty in comparison to him . As for a world that he should normally be placed in, it should be lowered by a level!

At this moment, Reef rushed over in excitement and requested for emergency funds .

As it turns out, the servant he acquired in the Resident Evil world was on the verge of full recovery, and needed a generous sum of utility and potential points .

Excited for Reef, Sheyan naturally aided wholeheartedly . Without a doubt, since this servant required so much potential and utility points, he would be outrageously valiant after recovery .

After concluding a sequence of summary events, Zi returned to the nightmare realm . She was presently a member of Party Ace, and thus, Sheyan and the others received a notification of her return .

The four of them met once again . Hearing that Reef urgently needed potential and utility points, she generously loosened her purse and a.s.sisted .

She was currently experiencing exceedingly complicated emotions . There was seemingly a plethora of matters to settle, and after ensuring everything was fine, she hastily proceeded to leave the realm .

Many doubts and questions filled Zi"s mind . Don"t talk about others, just the fact that her status was converted from a large party leader to a small party member, was an astronomical change . As for future matters, she decided to think about it later on…

Besides, she was compelled to join Party Ace due to circ.u.mstances, and Sheyan wasn"t sure if Zi would stay on .

However, just before she departed, Zi abruptly asked Sheyan .

“You possess a dark-gold grade equipment right?”

Sheyan nodded and Zi continued .

“Care to let me me see it?”

Sheyan naturally complied . When Zi examined his dark-gold necklace, "Smith Matrix Microchip", her attention gathered onto its latest pa.s.sive ability, "Refreshed Database" . Behind this ability, was the notification of "??? unactivated" .

Zi pondered a little before fis.h.i.+ng out a magnifying gla.s.s . She then instructed Sheyan .

“Use this magnifying gla.s.s to view your dark-gold necklace . ”

Sheyan received it and followed accordingly . He discovered that the pa.s.sive ability, "Refreshed Database", was actually shaded in green .

Zi then explained .

“If you see the "unactivated" words in red, it indicates that you do not possess sufficient capabilities to unseal it . If you see it in green, that indicates you"ve fulfilled the requirements to activate it . ”

Brother curiously asked .

“Woah that"s pretty cool . Where did you get such a useful item?”

Zi answered indifferently .

“I acquired the blueprint for it in the Iron Man world . It is called H . A . I (High-energy a.n.a.lysis Instrument), a pretty remarkable "" rank item . Loads of information ca be obtained with this, but what you see now is just an imitation that only possess some basic features . ”

Zi glanced at Sheyan and said .

“If you see the "unactivated" words in green, then press the side b.u.t.ton . ”

Upon careful scrutiny, Sheyan noticed an unremarkable looking "magnifier" b.u.t.ton at the side . A sentence surfaced from the magnifying gla.s.s after he pressed the b.u.t.ton – [ Silicon Valley, Shumpert Headquarters . Place this necklace under the illumination of apparatus VII of experiment lab 4 ]

The puzzled Sheyan glanced at Zi to inquire about what this meant, yet suddenly, a gla.s.s breaking sound resounded in from his hand; that magnifying gla.s.s was shattered and reduced to fragments of gla.s.s shards that clinked against the floor .

Zi returned his glance and replied helplessly .

“The instruction given by the H . A . I may seem ridiculous, but you just have to follow accordingly . You should be able to awaken the dormant ability of your dark-gold grade necklace . ”

Sheyan immediately felt a headache…… . . he was presently residing in London, but his destination was Silicon Valley in America!

This implied he had to make a flight, prompting him to seize the departing Zi as he exclaimed .

“Alright, fine, but are you sure this is credible? Is its instruction accurate? How can I even bring an equipment out of the nightmare realm?”

Zi chuckled and answered .

“That is why the prerequisite is first possessing sufficient capabilities . I"m not sure if your military authority allows you disguising capabilities, but mine does . Actually, you can bring out prohibited equipments of the realm with your military authority, however, the equipment will temporarily lose all special abilities . Moreover… . . ”

As Sheyan listened to the word "moreover", a bad sensation welled up in his heart . Then, the words "exorbitant cost" were expelled from her mouth, which caused him to fume and curse the realm . Still, what else could he do?

As he observed Zi"s lofty figure departing, Sheyan glanced at Reef with an apologetic look in his eyes . Reef then flicked his arm with ease .

“I got it boss, a ticket to Silicon Valley, credit card… . what else do you need?”

Sheyan frowned and answered after pondering .

“A good makeup artist, I don"t reckon those greedy executives in the Shumpert Headquarters will cooperate honestly, thus, I need to devise some extreme measures . ”

Reef sighed .

“Hey, boss don"t do that . I will supply you with sufficient funds . We shouldn"t let side problems arise from issues that can be resolved with money . The real world isn"t the nightmare realm, we have kin that lives in this world . A life accustomed to brute force and violence may make you complacent . ”

Sheyan sighed and replied .

“That is why I need a good makeup artist . I too agree with your statement . We shouldn"t let side problems arise from issues that can be resolved with money . Brute force will only be reserved for unexpected mishaps . ”

At this moment, Brother Black revealed his pearly white smile and b.u.t.ted in .

“Reef, I"ll accompany the boss . If things goes south, we won"t implicate you don"t worry . ”

Facing his two unethical comrades, Reef could only sigh deeply and tapped his chest three times before humbly whispering .

“Amen . ”

The trio were presently in London, and upon returning to the real world, Sheyan realized he had received over ten calls from an unknown overseas number . He felt a chill in his heart as he quickly dialed back, however, n.o.body answered .

While worrying, his phone rang again . Sheyan quickly answered and soon heard Sanzi"s teary voice .

“Big brother! Brother! I…… . ”

Sanzi paused with reluctance to spill the beans . Sheyan was so anxious, he wanted to drill his hand through the phone and smack Sanzi"s lips . He quickly asked .

“Something happened to Uncle Dasi?”

Sanzi replied with a steady voice .

“No . ”

Sheyan then relaxed and his tone became gentler .

“Then, problems with the Fuyuan?”

“Not that…” Sanzi"s voice turned increasingly timid .

Sheyan sighed and said .

“A personal problem then? Your girlfriend"s abortion fees or problems with the gangs? Little rascal, I can"t be worry-free with you around . You can find money beneath my pillow, there"s a card as well; security code is Uncle Dasi"s birthday . Pay for whatever abortion fees, the money is sufficient for you even to adopt and raise a kid . If it"s problems with a gang, find Matong to help you . Anyways, I"m very busy right now, I"ll resolve whatever is left when I return!”

“But……” Sanzi seemed to be on the verge of crying .

Sheyan knew he was timid and nonchalantly instructed .

“Fine then, I"ll return as soon as I"m done here . ”

Reef"s work efficiency was truly worthy of praise, or rather, the influence of his family was exceptionally commendable . Just an hour later, Sheyan and Brother Black had received tickets to the other sh.o.r.e; moreover, visas and others were all settled .

When Mogensha and Sheyan touched down onto Californian soil, their appearances had transformed to a state where kin would not even recognize them .

Sheyan presently appeared to a successful 50 years old businessmen . His hair was maroon and tainted with white with a round hat above, and he grew a well-trimmed beard . Walking with a cane, even the color of his pupils and his physical stature were altered . With supremely broad shoulders, he appeared like a typical tourist that wouldn"t garner unwanted attention .

Meanwhile, Brother Black wore black shades, baggy trousers and basketball sneakers . He carried a large backpack and his ears were covered by large metal earphones . He swaggered while walking in large strides . With his bulky frame and dark skin tone, one would think he was a professional basketball athlete .

The two pa.s.sed through the security checks and headed for the exit . However, they were soon halted by three men in civilian clothes . One of the men exhibited his ident.i.ty and said .

“Gentlemen, we suspect you with having connections to terror conducts . you have the right to remain silent . Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . You have the right to an attorney . If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you . Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?”

Sheyan and Brother Black weren"t afraid bur rather curious . Was this a coincidental matter or planned? Being eyed right getting off and even after altering their ident.i.ties . To be framed as terrorists against the state and apprehended, this was indeed a horrid consequence .

“These brats annoy me . ” Brother Black bluntly proclaimed inside the party channel .

“I agree with your opinion . ” Sheyan answered directly . “But surveillance is high here, we should find a lesser monitored place . ”

Thus, Brother Black replied to the man .

“Following you for investigations isn"t a problem, but I need to use the loo . ”

“Nope . ” The man replied with austerity .

The silent Sheyan abruptly interrupted with an angry yet feeble voice .

“Go ahead and shoot us then, let"s leave!”

After exclaiming, he dragged his luggage and marched off . The three men glanced at each other with hesitation . Sheyan could read the situation and understood they were definitely instigated by others to find trouble from there, while not possessing any concrete evidence on hand . Hence, would they dare to open fire? What a joke!

Since he confirmed in his heart, Sheyan boldly executed and marched towards the restroom while instructing in the party channel .

The countenances of the three men were extremely unpleasant, but since their individuals of interest seemed to be merely visiting the restroom, they followed them .

After peeing, Brother Black suddenly seized an individual beside him and roared .

“Blackie? Slave? F dare you say that again?”

The airport restroom was pretty crowded with at least 5-6 other black males present . Upon hearing such racist remarks, they furiously circled in . Since racial discrimination was such a sensitive topic, many government officials were extremely cautious with it .

Hence, would the three males, who had no justification to act in the first place, dare pull their pistols out now? Seeing one of them about to reach out for his identification card, would Sheyan give him that chance? He immediately swung a fist and pounded the guy"s face; though it wasn"t a fatal blow, he wouldn"t wake up for the next hour or so .

As violence broke out, the situation became terribly chaotic . Some tried to maintain order, some were trying to run out in panic while others attempted to report to the police .

Meanwhile, Mogensha managed grabbed one of the man"s incoming first and twisted it . That guy yelled out while adjusting his body, but Mogensha immediately flipped him to the ground . Although they looked as if they were brawling, Mogensha"s hand had stealthily slipped into the guy"s waist, and had nimbly pinched the pistol away .

Caressing a firearm was an utterly familiar concept to Mogensha . As long as his fingers touched the pistol, he felt as though it was an extension of his body . Brother Black easily pinched the pistol from its hoister and fired off at another undercover cop .

The gunfire instantly created a ma.s.sive uproar . Security wanted to squeeze in while civilians scrambled to leave the place . At the core of this ruckus, were three undercover cops; two unlucky unconscious ones and the other groaning in agony from being shot . Yet the pistol that was fired was in the hands of an unconscious undercover cop .

Evidently, he was in big trouble……

Meanwhile, Sheyan and Brother Black strolled out of the airport departure terminal . They possessed the strength to easily deal with any problems now .

While strolling, Brother Black put on his shades and asked .

“What"s going on, encountering such an issue after disembarking . ”

Sheyan contemplated quietly and muttered .

“Seems like it"s related to Zi, but yet not her . ”

While waving for a cab, Mogensha replied .

“Indeed, she doesn"t have any motive . Also, it seems as though the three cops were only looking for trouble and not bent on persecuting us to death . ”

Sheyan pondered and replied .

“If it isn"t Zi, then the problem lies in Reef . We"ve already accepted help from him numerous times, could it be others are attempting to exploit this and seek trouble for him . ”

Mogensha sneered and smiled with his pearly white teeth .

“Excellent, we can eliminate these problems for him along the way . Reef, that kind hearted sheep, only knows how to preach all day long; yet he doesn"t know the most persuasive tool is a 7 . 62mm old mate . ”

At this moment, they managed to flag a cab . After reporting their destination, they casually hopped into the car . Instead, the cab driver looked stunned for a while and apologized .

“I"m sorry gents, can"t drive you there . ”

Sheyan became momentarily speechless; “What"s wrong with the world lately? Even a cab driver wishes to go against us?”

Fortunately, the cab driver shrugged his shoulders and resolved his doubts .

“There ain"t a place called Shumpert Headquarters in Silicon Valley . ”

“Oh, then Heidela Plaza first . ” Sheyan quickly thought of several possibilities . For example, there was a change in the building"s name, or maybe it wasn"t an official name and a mere nickname, or it isn"t a noticeable and flashy name like Juantu (Author"s nickname)… . .

As for Heidela Plaza, it was an entertainment paradise hailed as a mini Vegas, thus, he should be able to scout out for information there .

It was night time when Sheyan and Mogensha arrived at Heidela Plaza . Rich and diverse forms of night lights illuminated the atmosphere, as various types of restaurants filled the area . Gorgeous beauties in skintight pants and flowery bras strolled around which caused Brother Black"s eyes to light up . He whistled with his thick lips and exclaimed .

“Hoho, this is simply paradise!”

As a sailor who traveled to different parts of the world, Sheyan was rather accustomed to such lively western places . Still, Brother Black seemed to be more familiar, as he led Sheyan to patronize an outdoor western food restaurant .

They both sat on swing-style seats as Brother Black whistled for the nearby dark-skinned waitress . He fished out a hundred dollar bill and stashed in between her deep cleavage before giving it a nice pinch and inquiring .

“h.e.l.lo sweetheart, any recommendations?”

Sheyan couldn"t appreciate beauties of other ethnicities, but Brother Black"s eyes were filled with l.u.s.t . He then ordered a series of dishes – Baked lobster with cheese, Chocolate apple pie, Hawaiian salad, supremely fresh oysters… . . and also attempted to ask about a Shumpert building .

Instead, the waitress"s eyes flickered and shook her head . Since Sheyan and Mogensha were in the real world, they didn"t scrutinize her thoroughly .

Despite the restaurant"s bustling crowd, the dishes were quickly served . When they sank their teeth into the steaming baked cheese lobster, a fresh and tasty al dente sensation overwhelmed their taste buds . One could distinctly hear the crispy sounds of chewing flesh, and smell the milky aroma of mildly burnt cheese; truly a sumptuous, salivinducing mouthful .

The chocolate pie resembled China"s egg fried rice; simple to make, but tough to perfect . Of course, an apple pie couldn"t compare with gold quality egg fried rice . Still, it was extremely delicious . With a single bite, a fragrance of apple flushed into their nostrils and linger on their tongues like the spring breeze; carrying a delightful touch of mild moisture .

The Hawaiian salad wasn"t hard to prepare . The salad sauce could be purchased at any supermarket, but the crux lies in the word "freshness" . It was simply impossible to resist leaves that were just plucked from plants, still dripping wet with the careful rinse of spring water .

As for the oysters, it suited Mogensha"s taste buds the most . His eyes sparkled as he eyed the oysters . Taking a slight whiff of its freshness first, he carved the oyster from the sh.e.l.l and slurped it down . Then, he closed his eyes and from his blissful countenance, one could decipher a delight that surpa.s.ses making love, and a high that surmounts drugs .

Instead, oysters were rather common to a sailor like Sheyan . Still, seeing the way Brother Black enjoyed the oysters, he couldn"t help but mimic his manner of consumption .

According to Brother Black; first, use a knife to carve out the oyster before pressing one"s lips at the edge of the oyster, and giving it a gentle suck . Once the tongue interacts with the juicy flesh, slightly add strength and the fertile and rich oyster would stimulate one"s oral cavity; akin to a meticulous french kiss which left a stifling sensation . Following up with a mouth of red wine, this was seemingly a limitless sensation .

After eating the oyster, Sheyan finally understood . Eating an oyster wasn"t merely for that distinct fishy taste, but also the unique sensation of the oyster sliding through the tongue and into the throat . An icy cold yet deliciously supple texture creating an unparalleled satisfaction in one"s belly .

The duo left in satisfaction after completing their meal . According to the plan, they will now head for a night club bar, a natural haven for gathering intelligence .

Yet upon exiting the restaurant, a chain of motorcycle rumbling reverberated through the alley before introducing 6-7 motorbikes sped in .

That black waitress that accepted Mogensha"s hundred dollar bill was sitting on the backseat of one of the motorbikes, as her ample chests squeezed in and violated the s.p.a.ce of the male in front .

At this moment, Mogensha was filled with regret, knowing that he had caused this aspect due to his own itchy hands .

A brat wearing a nose ring revved his Harley bike and arrogantly dashed towards Sheyan . Right about 10 centimeters away, he came to an abrupt halt and casted a slanted look .

“You wanna know about the Shumpert building?”

Sheyan remained silent while Brother Black shrugged his shoulders .

“Is there a problem?”

A second later, someone pointed a pistol at his head and coldly declared .

“To the side . Move! Go on!”

They didn"t dare to be too unbridled in a public area and obviously desired to oppress Sheyan and Mogensha away from the public eye . Alas, they failed to notice snickering at the back .

Intelligence found a way to his door without him looking, what else could be more satisfying?

Moments later, with their hands raised, the duo were forced into a remote alley . That rider boyfriend of the waitress p.r.o.nounced impatiently .

“Ask em" who sent them here, then let em" fly . ”

Brother Black sighed when he heard the word "fly" . This so-called "fly" meant tossing them from a high alt.i.tude . The usually lawless Mogensha was filled with killing intent as he glanced at Sheyan .

“Boss?”

Sheyan chuckled and replied .

“So, whoever can answer my queries will not die . ”

Immediately, the brat holding the pistol against Sheyan"s neck angrily lifted it, and smacked the pistol b.u.t.t down onto Sheyan"s head .

“Moron! You heard our boss" words…… . eh?”

The reason he stammered was simply because Sheyan was currently smirking at him .

All of a sudden, Mogensha seized the pistol barrier, before easily smas.h.i.+ng an elbow in and sending that guy flying . With a pistol in his hand, an imposing aura of committing genocide with zero reserves flooded out!

Without hesitation, he blasted off the pistol at another"s face, causing a shrilling scream to come to an abrupt halt .

Concurrently, Sheyan kicked the nearest Harley Davidson 5-6 meters away, and easily pulled down another rider before pounding his head against the wall .

Consecutively, the other hoodlums brandished their steel pipes and daggers, as they rushed in while yelling furiously .

Yet merely less than ten seconds later, all of them were sprawling on the ground .

One remaining rider couldn"t believe his eyes . After releasing a frantic cry, he stepped his bike pedal to the maximum and charged towards Sheyan!

Sheyan stood unfazed in the face of a Harley Davidson rampaging in like a wild horse .

The light beam of the Harley Davidson shone into his eyes but failed to blind him . It was as though the glint in Sheyan"s eyes was ten times sharper than the Harley"s headlight .

A meter before the motorbike collided in, Sheyan"s hands abruptly surged out and gripped the motorbike handle . Riding on the momentum, he flipped himself up into the air and maneuvered around like a b.u.t.terfly, before landing precisely on the rider"s shoulders .

If someone could photograph this scene, the picture would portray Sheyan riding a rider riding a motorbike . With his thighs clasping the rider"s neck, Sheyan twisted his body forcefully; sending the rider somersaulting forward as Sheyan unleashed strength from both legs!

The rider flew out and crashed to the ground before rolling several rounds . Blood streamed down his head as choking sounds erupted from his throat, while he laid feebly without mobility on the ground .

Sheyan landed with a squat . His muscles tightened momentarily before springing off once again . Concurrently as surged through the air with his body nearly parallel to the ground, a hoodlum fired off while howling fanatically .

A second later, Sheyan lifted the leader up by his neck and callously announced .

“Hey friend, let"s have a nice chat . ”

Spectating Sheyan now, one would subconsciously think of a cheetah foraging through the vast savannah plains, sinking its razor-sharp claws into the prey while pinning it down, before revealing a set of awe-inspiring sharp teeth!

The ringleader"s facial muscles uncontrollably twitched but he still obstinately scolded .

“So what if you can fight, Steve Fuller will eventually blast your head off!”

Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and responded .

“Unfortunately for you, that was your final chance . ”

Then, Sheyan tossed him over to Brother Black, where the unhappy Mogensha unloaded a bullet to his head .

Following that, Sheyan targeted the whimpering black waitress .

“I believe you will provide me with an answer I want, oh right, just keep that hundred bucks as remuneration . Honestly speaking, if not for my brother"s interest in your milk and b.u.t.tocks, I wouldn"t have given you this chance . Now, you have three seconds to answer me . ”

The black la.s.s issued with a trembling voice .

“They are Steve"s men . They gave me money, to look out for individuals attempting to learn about the Shumpert Headquarters . ”

Sheyan leaned back and said .

“Oh hoh, I see, but I still don"t understand why learning about Shumpert Headquarters is such a sensitive topic . ”

The black la.s.s glanced at him as though she was looking at a ghost .

“You guys don"t even know what goes on inside Shumpert Headquarters…… . you"re just asking about it?”

Don"t mention that black la.s.s, even the battered and beaten riders around were immensely stunned . Their eyes looked as though they were on the verge of crying .

Sheyan answered in astonishment .

“A friend told me the striptease performance on the eleventh floor of Silicon Valley"s Shumpert Headquarters is spectacular . ”

Silence everywhere…… . .

From the looks of the riders" wry expressions, Sheyan was slowly enlightened of the underlying significance and couldn"t help but roll his eyes .

As it turns out, the term Shumpert, in the context of an indigenous tribe language, also meant paradise . Shumpert Headquarters was a codeword used by the underground society, which specially referred to major drug empire called "Steve" .

After listening to her explanation, Sheyan cursed out . “No wonder that cab driver was totally oblivious of the destination . Would they even dare to get involved with a drug lord?”

Following that, Sheyan suddenly recalled something else and offered a bitter smile .

“Alright I roughly know what Silicon Valley"s Shumpert Headquarters is now . But the eleventh floor?”

The riders exchanged glances and noticed Brother Black c.o.c.king the pistol as a threat . Under the deterrence of death, someone bluntly turned traitor .

“We don"t know! But people from Shumpert Headquarters definitely know . ”

Brother Black gestured .

“Good, that is the best answer I"ve heard all night . ”

That hoodlum looked at them with a wronged expression . “Still say you guys are tourists, after a series of twists and turns, you still asked for an address . ” of course, they could only keep those words in their hearts .

Half an hour later . Sheyan and Brother Black stood before a modernized skysc.r.a.per . One could behold the words "Orange Inc" at the roof .

This building was called Fitel Center, a fully lit, fully air-conditioned, fully reinforced skysc.r.a.per; an agglomeration of banks, shops, restaurants, conference and multi-purpose halls, gyms and even business offices . A state-of-the-art building filled with a banking style of Wall Street .

There were 79 companies sharing this glamorous skysc.r.a.per . Sheyan"s attention congregated onto one company – Bethe"s Commerce, which was the "official" name of Steve"s drug empire .

Bethe"s Commerce exhibited immense financial prowess, and occupied the floors 9 through 13 .

Seeing that sign, Sheyan roughly understood the true meanings behind his instructions .

“Silicon Valley"s Shumpert Headquarters eleventh floor… . . it must be b.l.o.o.d.y interpreted with three segregations!”

The "Silicon Valley" was direct .

"Shumpert Headquarters" was actually a codename, something absolutely unheard of under normal circ.u.mstances .

As for the eleventh floor, Sheyan determined that it should be a direct interpretation .

The duo gazed upwards and realized it was currently extremely late at night . Still, the skysc.r.a.per was brightly lit and quite a number of employees were working overtime . Sheyan and Brother Black then entered the building

After pressing the eleventh floor b.u.t.ton in the elevator, Sheyan muttered to Mogensha .

“Say, you think we will disappoint Reef once again?”

Brother Black answered aggressively .

“Strictly speaking, we"ve already let him down, but boss, do you think that even with 1,000,000 dollars, will they allow you to place your necklace in the apparatus (VII) of experiment lab 4 for 30 minutes?”

Sheyan released a wry smile .

“They will retain the cash and kick us out . Either that, or send us airborne . ”

Brother Black smiled .

“Therefore boss, we can help Reef to save cash . Trampling these drug peddlers will also alleviate our psychological frustrations . ”

Ding dong! The lift resounded . The duo stepped out of the elevator and were greeted by a pair of transparent, reinforced gla.s.s doors . An ordinary receptionist was dozing off by the front counter .

Sheyan walked up and tapped the gla.s.s door, causing the guy to wake up . He lifted his head for a glance, and reckoning that the duo were insurance or sales agents, he roared angrily .

“Scram!”

Sheyan shrugged his shoulders helplessly and pressed his hand against the reinforced gla.s.s door before exerting force in!

The doors were merely a little stronger than standard anti-theft grade . Instead, with Sheyan"s present monstrous strength, even a steel door would yield to his might .

PA! A crack instantly emerged before the door lock was bluntly smashed through .

Sheyan ignored the startled receptionist and blatantly barged in . Meanwhile, the irascible receptionist jumped forward while pulling out a baton . Immediately, Brother Black blocked him with his pistol and struck the back of his head with the pistol b.u.t.t .

Sheyan wasn"t in the mood for mindless chatter now, as he directly inquired whenever saw someone – “Know what is Apparatus VII of experiment lab 4?”

At first, the individuals scolded back aloud and refused to say anything . However, after consecutive b.u.mps to the heads by Brother Black, one eventually complied and obediently brought Sheyan over .

This so called experiment lab 4 was unexpectedly a scam, however, there was indeed a device called apparatus VII there . Nevertheless, it was simply like an oven to keep narcotic products dry; to prevent the quality from dipping…

Probably due to certain scandals revolving around this company recently, not a single good was placed here and there were at most ten individuals present . Under the coercion of Sheyan and Mogensha, they remained obediently quiet .

However, although Sheyan wasn"t looking for trouble, trouble came knocking at his door .

Roughly five minutes into "roasting" his necklace, the counter telephone rang . The telephone went unreceived, and a voice recording soon broadcasted a sinister voice .

“Derek I don"t care what you are up to, but we"ve successfully obtained the goods from the Mexico side . We"ll be there in about 15 minutes, if you haven"t made the necessary preparations, I"ll skin you alive . ”

Upon hearing that, Sheyan glanced helplessly at Mogensha .

“Frankly speaking, I really don"t wish to complicate matters . ”

Instead, Mogensha nonchalantly replied .

“I don"t really care . Just pressing the trigger aye?”
