Chapter 815: Sanitary Pad friend
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"The enemy will definitely be monitoring the battle closely, and aim to operate beneath this mountain ridge. However, their main focus will be undisputedly gathered on the fighting. The eight Ringwraiths and Lurtz clashing against the heroic elves, such a deadlock can be broken at any moment. Sudden unexpected deviations may just occur."
"More importantly, our rival contestants are aiming for the Elven Rings of Power. Their top priority is absolutely to acquire those precious rings, for once the Ringwraiths lay hands on the rings, they would never be able to wrestle it from them."
"Therefore, although it looks like we have adequate time, we must swiftly settle this under-cliff operation. According to my conjecture, reinforcements for that contestant party will definitely arrive quickly, and we have at most five minutes. Otherwise, we'll be pincered and our lives forfeited."
The aforementioned were the words Sheyan used to rally his allies before the assault. Fortunately, the battle went exceedingly smooth and no unexpected mishaps occurred.
Constrained by Reef, Venus was soon struck into near-death state by the two Elven Wizards. However, after entering near-death state, he simply vanished into thin air!
This was an ability that Sheyan had investigated on before, a supremely useful party skill. Upon entering near-death state, they will be randomly teleported to a safe area within a kilometer; (excluding domains like water or infernos). Nevertheless, the near-death state would persist for 10 minutes after teleportation.
It seems like the party the duo was facing was extremely valiant. That was obvious if one thought about it. To dare to conspire such heaven-shocking methods and scheme to steal the Elven Rings of Power, how could such a party be trifled with easily?
Time was tight. Honestly speaking, there was no chance to search for Venus and throw in a blade. Hence, Venus luckily escaped a fatal fate.
However, Warehouse was not that lucky.
Ever since Sheyan realized their nightmare imprints were engraved on the shoulders, Sheyan immediately added this mechanic/summoner/resource-master contestant into his 'must-kill' list. Sheyan had no choice but to kill him!
Although Warehouse was a Growth-Hunter, under the pressing and frenzied barrages of Sheyan's saber, he could only retreat pathetically in straitened circumstances. In truth, he wasn't adept at such close combat. If only he had ten seconds, no, just five seconds of buffer time! He would surely escape this miserably state, and even turn the tides and bombard his aggressor into smithereens. Sadly, there was no ifs in this world...…..
Sheyan grimaced as Warehouse howled and stabbed a screwdriver in this belly. Instead, his '+7 West' maliciously hacked against Warehouse's neck.
This ruthless slash instantly caused Warehouse to tremble violently, because that single blade had surpassed his limits and dragged him into near-death state.
Even worse, when Warehouse's party skill activated, it actually teleported him short of 300 meters away. He was still revealed to the line of sight of his opponent. Still kneeling in his near-death state, he could only witness as his opponent chased up. His foe maintained a resolute expression as he raised his long saber, before slashing down.
"Darn it!" Warehouse screamed as his eyes almost popped from its sockets. He clenched his teeth and shouted. "I will return this ten folds, just you wait!!"
Then, he immediately activated a life-preserving item. It was indeed the same 'Point Dimensionfold Tech-device'. Although the cost of it was tremendous, he could travel to another location, through a dimension where he would not be damaged.
Hence, Sheyan's '+7 West' was resisted by an irresistible force, completely unable to slash in.
Yet a moment later, Warehouse was abruptly overwhelmed with a chain of heart-rendering coughs. Yet even worse, either his physique was extremely weak or his luck was terrible, during the few minutes of his battle with Sheyan before this, he had already coughed violently for four times.....
Thus, Warehouse could only glare at Sheyan with eyes of panic and hate. Though he couldn't speak, he was definitely screaming 'But no attacks can reach me now, why is my life plundered by a damned cough'.....
At the same instant that Warehouse coughed to death, Sheyan and Reef received the notifications.
[ You killed Growth-Hunter (no. unknown). Growth-Hunter was the vice-party leader, therefore, the reward will be 6 achievement points or 6 free attribute points ]
[ Please choose only one as your reward ]
[ Your party is still in combat, party leader please allocate the rewards at your own time ]
[ The limit of slayer achievement points/free attribute points that can be acquired in this world is 10 points. Anything exceeding that will be ineffective and nonrefundable. Please allocate wisely. ]
[ Random equipments will be randomly drawn from the slain contestant as slayer reward. It will then be randomly allocated to party members ]
[ Drawing process will take some time. Calculating data of enemy slain....please wait ]
[ Note: Three contestants have now died to your 'Bronchitis' breakout by coughing blood. Condition met to trigger relevant milestone ]
[ Hidden Milestone: Sanitary Pad Friend ]
[ Condition: Five contestants must die to your 'Bronchitis' breakout and cough blood ]
"Eh? Wasn't it only achievement points? Where is there an option to select free attribute points?" Sheyan was stunned. In his plans, he just needed 3 achievement points to once again raise a level of his 'Bronchitis' ability.
Never did he expect there would be a free attribute option as well. Moreover, killing a Growth-Hunter should reward four points, but a vice-party leader offered additional bonus to become 6 points.
"Achievement points or free attribute points?" A thousand notions seemingly passed through Sheyan's mind in a flash.
"Slaughtering the party's vice party leader. That is not fanning flames beneath their butts, but directly impaling their arse with a spear. Their retaliation will absolutely be ferocious. I guess the success rate of my plan will minimally decline by 10%."
"Ah....fine then. This matter involves Melody and failure is not permitted. There is no choice, it seems like I need to modify the plan a little. Still, it doesn't matter, we've already attained 80% of our objective. This is a pretty remarkable feat."
Reflecting on that, Sheyan decisively chose free attribute points. Following that, he noticed the absurd 'Sanitary Pad Friend' milestone and sighed. The name of this milestone was too suggestive.
At this moment, Reef slapped his shoulder with a queer expression, and gestured to the miner with his mouth. Sheyan drew in a breath of chilling air. The miner was covered with an ethereal layer of yellow screen that resembled an eggshell protecting him.
Sheyan wasn't foreign to this yellow screen, because back when he entered this world, he too enjoyed such a treatment.
An incredibly perverse ability!
Domain: Absolute Defence!
Previously, he too enjoyed a domain barrier that absorbed all damages. However, it only lasted for ten seconds. It seems that the miner's one was more outrageous than his. His domain defence had already persisted for at least 5 minutes, and seemed like it was going to carry on!
Nevertheless, this ability came at a price. He could not move nor attack, but merely stood still while others fail to harm him. He was a harmless sitting duck.
Watching as Sheyan sauntered over, the miner smiled faintly and waved at him.
"I know what you are thinking, my friend. This is indeed an exceptionally freakish ability. However, this came at a price of me forsaking all direct combat moves. Speaking bluntly, my close combat and long-range combat capabilities does not differ to even ordinary mortals."
Sheyan laughed and replied.
"That isn't important. What is important, is the two achievement points or two free attribute points that you can offer us. I will patiently wait for your unrivaled protection to vanish."
"You're wrong." The miner shrugged his shoulders.
"Kill me, and you gain nothing. In contrast, you will be penalized of basic attributes, for I am someone who belongs to a neutral faction. I was merely hired by the Stockholm party."
In order to gain Sheyan's trust, the miner revealed a bare and shiny shoulder for him to see.
"Look, my nightmare imprint isn't at the same position as them. All imprints of a neutral faction will be engraved in the internal intestines of our body. Hence, our nightmare imprint radiance exudes out from internally instead."
Sheyan glared at the miner and questioned.
"Even if what you said is true, what good does this information do for me?"
The miner smiled and answered.
"I service all contestants of combat factions. I assisted the Stockholm party with the construction of the teleportation arrays for those Ringwraiths. Most importantly, as long as you have adequate funds, I can provide the same service as well, eighty percent discount moreover. This means you only need to pay a little utility points or achievement points."
