Chapter 907: Beautiful Girl
Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1
When Sheyan unexpectedly leapt into the water, Hakeem instinctively wanted to go into the water to pursue him! At that moment, he realised that the motorboat was gradually slowing down. Suddenly, a chilling thought sent shivers all over him as if he was splashed with a bucket of cold water. He instantly rushed to the engine of the motorboat to drive the boat away.
However, Hakeem found a cruel truth. The engine of the motorboat was already smashed into pieces. The mechanical parts laid around in a mess. There was no way he could fix it!
Finally, the inertia of the motorboat, that was driving it forward, was spent. It laid quietly on the surface of the sea like a dead fish, shaking with the waves. Although it was night time, the coast and islands in the distance were clearly visible. The feet of the Statue of Liberty about 3 kilometers away seemed close enough to touch. The brilliant lights of the entire Big Apple could be clearly seen....
But when Hakeem looked at the dark sea, an inexplicable fear crept into his heart!
The damn guy had been in the water for at least a few minutes now, but he showed no movement at all, not even signs of breathing. It was obvious that he came prepared!
For a powerful Awakener, swimming two to three kilometers in this calm sea would only take two to three minutes.
But under such circumstances, swimming for two to three minutes was enough for him to be killed ten times over.
He knew that he had fallen into a trap.
A huge trap. A malicious trap!!!
The agile melee specialist who was most proficient in ambushes, assassinations and illusion, foolishly chased after a target like a Berserker! His character should be one who hid within darkness and illusion, an assassin who could slit the enemy's throat before his enemy could even see his face and his blade.
'I was clearly beating him like a dog before this. How did he suddenly get so much stronger after less than 20 minutes in there? It was as if he was reborn anew.' Hakeem, in his anxiety and bewilderment, was really puzzled by this question.
'How could there be such a powerful trial.... Was it all a trap from the beginning? But my judgement was definitely not wrong. In the initial chase, I had a few chances to kill him! If it was all a trap, he was taking far too great a risk!'
It's not that Hakeem was stupid, it's just that Sheyan's experience was too strange to be figured out by common sense! Hakeem had originally hunted Sheyan down until Sheyan had to hide in the trial ground, but less than 20 minutes afterwards, Sheyan had actually passed the Growth Hunter trial, and it was a dual-attribute breakthrough trial at that! In addition, he only broke through after accumulating strength for a long time!
Who would have thought of that??
This is the Bloody World! The holders of the Bloody Invitation Letters were all either powerful party leaders or top class hitmen! Would any of them still be a freaking normal contestant by this point? Who would be stupid enough to come here to break through the boundary?
Therefore, Hakeem could never have imagined that the one he was chasing - a holder of the Bloody Invitation Letter - was a freaking normal contestant, and that normal contestant had just broke through the boundary. Furthermore, the spitting and peeing were simply too insulting, which pulled him deeper into the trap.
Hakeem repeatedly thought about it, but he only got more confused. The ominous premonition in his heart became more intense. He immediately took a deep breath to calm himself. It was too difficult to unravel the truth right now. The key to the problem was not to understand what happened, but to escape from this damn dilemma.
So, Hakeem slowly sat down on the deck . He let down his hair and sorted his appearance. His whole body was wrapped up in a dense mist. When he looked up again, "he" had turned into a female!
A teenage girl!
A really beautiful girl!
Blonde hair, with blue eyes that looked like they could speak.
She wasn't the sexy type. She was the type that would arouse other's protective instinct.
Under normal circumstances, a change to one's appearance must be carried out in the realm, which meant that Hakeem's sudden change in appearance this time was not a disguise, but a removal of the basketball boy disguise she wore.
This showed that once her mind calmed down, she was an extremely meticulous person. In the current environment, if Hakeem wanted to flee back to the land, a battle in water would be inevitable. She had returned to her current beautiful appearance for a purpose - when fighting in water, the seductive curve of her wet body would be revealed. If the enemy showed a hint of hesitation or even sexual desire, her chance of survival would increase!
The teenage girl Hakeem did not rush into the fight, apparently playing for time. She even took out her makeup tools to touch up on her makeup. Sheyan's decision to dive into the water was seen by Hakeem as the indication that he did not dare to fight her in a direct confrontation, which was why she could remain so calm.
In fact, for the weaker side, the longer the fight dragged on, the more variables that could occur, and the higher the chance of winning. There was a saying in Chinese - long night, numerous dreams.
However, Sheyan did not intend to give her the chance to prolong the fight!
An invisible force shrouded the surrounding area. Hakeem, who was resting with her eyes closed, suddenly sneezed! That's right, Sheyan had activated his best invisible offensive technique - disease! Pervasive disease that infiltrated every orifice!
The reason Sheyan had waited for so long was not because he had hesitated on hurting a beautiful girl, but because the biggest ace up his sleeves, the 'Stairway of the Sun', had mutated again. After swallowing the out-of-control 'Stairway of the Sun' in the trial ground, it once again fell into a state of slumber. Naturally, neither the 'Pestilence Monarch' nor the Poison Monarch' could be used until it woke up again a few minutes ago.
When the new 'Stairway of the Sun' awakened, Sheyan's 'Pestilence Monarch' and 'Poison Monarch' were once again greatly enhanced.
First off, the 'Pestilence Monarch' obtained a new ability: 'Power of Corrosion'.
(TN note: not to be confused with the Beast of Corrosion of the Poison Monarch)
This ability could only be used within 120 seconds after the enemy was infected by a disease, and could only target one enemy.
By activating the 'Power of Corrosion', Sheyan could, in the next five seconds, actively trigger the next appearance of the disease symptom instead of waiting for it to randomly appear like before! Of course, it came at a cost. The enemy would not experience any of the remaining symptoms in the next 30 seconds to two minutes.
This turned the uncontrollable 'Pestilence Monarch' into a controllable ability.
Secondly, the evolution of the 'Stairway of the Sun' cut the time required for Sheyan to be infected with a disease in the real world by a third. The replication efficiency of the A-virus had improved.
Finally, following the evolution of the 'Stairway of the Sun', the negative effects of the 'Beast of Corrosion' on himself had been reduced by 20%. More importantly, a part of the damage done by the 'Beast of Corrosion' would be absorbed and fed back to him - that was to say, the 'Beast of Corrosion' had gained a life steal effect!
Sheyan immediately enquired about the specific value of the HP that the 'Beast of Corrosion' could feed back. He didn't expect this information to actually require payment. It seemed like the 'Stairway of the Sun' had become more mysterious and more powerful. Sheyan gritted his teeth and paid the fee. The number he got was 100-200 points, but this number should continue to grow with the 'Stairway of the Sun'.
*************************
As soon as the 'Pestilence Monarch' recovered, Sheyan covertly wrapped the claws of disease around Hakeem! He had worked hard and spent a great deal of effort to trap Hakeem on the sea. How could he let her escape now? The whole operation had progressed so smoothly that Sheyan could hardly believe it. It was only when Hakeem had revealed her true appearance did Sheyan understand why.
A girl favoured by the heavens like her must have had a smooth-sailing life in the real world and in the nightmare realm. Being pissed on by a barbaric man must have scarred her mentally more than he imagined.
Hakeem naturally knew that the sudden appearance of the disease must be the work of Sheyan, but she had no way to deal with this annoying disease! Hakeem must be feeling the same as Sheyan and Reef did in the Great Swamp of Ndipaya when their bodies were chucked full of diseases but they couldn't do anything!
The sea breeze brought another fit of severe coughing to Hakeem. Her cheeks were flushed red from sickness. She straightened up, bundled her long hair behind her head, and her eyes regained focus. Apparently, she was determined to fight to the death.
Sheyan made the first move from under the water! He slashed out to cut a half-a-meter long hole on the bottom of the motorboat. His plan was obvious - to fight the powerful and beautiful girl in the ocean!
Ruthless seawater gradually swallowed the bottom of the motorboat and dragged it into the sea together with Hakeem. She could only helplessly let herself be swallowed by the seawater. As soon as she was submerged, she saw Sheyan who was effortlessly stretching his limbs and keeping himself afloat not far away. The long blade in his hand flashed a blue light which reflected off his cold eyes.
