Chapter 927: So Easy!
Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1
A metal fist smashed the dissolving metallic wall, causing molten metal to spray everywhere! The thing inside was seemingly about to climb out! But right at that moment, Sheyan took a deep breath and raised his fist!
Salmons' face immediately contorted into a strange expression. His chanting abruptly halted. He couldn't help but look down towards his right chest with a grimace, then stumbled a few times as he grabbed his right chest.
The facial expression Salmons showed was a mixture of incredulity and extreme pain!
Pneumonia, pneumonia!
At the same time, the strange squirming in the walls slowed down.
Sheyan crouched down and launched a fierce charge with 'Hornrage'!
He crashed into the golden protective barrier on the surface of Salmons' body in the blink of an eye, but was bounced back by half a meter! He didn't manage to damage Salmons even though Salmons was in extreme pain!
This layer of protective barrier was very powerful and also quite famous. It was the dream ability of every mage class, the advanced version of the magic barrier: the 'Glorious Barrier of Protection'! It enabled the caster to be immune to any damage for a certain period of time and had a very high precedence. On the other hand, the caster could not move, could not perform physical attacks, and could not use potions during this period.
Stend and Shali rushed forward in a mixture of shock and rage but a light blue bottle of test tube had already slipped from Sheyan's hand. The shockwave after the explosion swept through the passage and temporarily halted their offense.
A pale green poisonous smoke rapidly spread.
Sheyan's body suddenly emitted a fierce aura. A huge, awe-inspiring, and extremely oppressive illusionary image appeared behind him with the force of demons!!
The 'Stairway of the Sun'!
The floor under Sheyan's feet emitted a cracking sound as it broke into pieces due to the corrosion. The were currently deep in the underground, so Sheyan's feet sank into the soil beneath like they were plant roots and sucked the energy from the earth. The energy was transformed by the 'Stairway of the Sun' on his chest and gathered on his left hand to form a thick, dark miasma. Sheyan directed the miasma towards the 'Glorious Barrier of Protection' on Salmons!
The 'Beast of Corrosion' once again made its appearance!
This time, the 'Beast of Corrosion' took the form of a head of a huge, ferocious beast! The beast head was black and flowed like smoke. With two long fangs protruding out of its mouth, it looked like the head of a sabertooth. The beast head opened its jaw wide and bit the 'Glorious Barrier of Protection'!
It displayed a force so overwhelming that it looked as if it was ready to devour the whole world!
The golden 'Glorious Barrier of Protection' that Salmons was so proud of broke with a crack into seven or so pieces. The fragments burst forth and left deep scratches on the wall. In front of the 'Beast of Corrosion', the barrier was as fragile as an eggshell! It couldn't stop the horrifying force contained in the gigantic beast head in the slightest!
After breaking the shield, the 'Beast of Corrosion' turned even wilder. It chowed down on Salmons whole and even chewed on him a few times. Its throat convulsed greedily as it tried to swallow Salmons alive. When it found that it couldn't, it spat Salmons back out.
This is the power of the 'Beast of Corrosion'!
Greedy, wild, arrogant and unstoppable!
As the 'Beast of Corrosion' disappeared, an emotionless, merciless and monotonous shooting sound reverberated.
To Aziz, shooting an immobile target was as easy as eating and shitting. He could do it since he was three.
If he couldn't even hit his target under such circumstances, he might as well kill himself.
Aziz only shot one single bullet, but the force of the bullet was so strong that it formed a series of explosions as it whizzed through the air! Its horrifying momentum was akin to a fighter jet that sped low against the ground with a speed so fast that it seemed like it could catch up to time itself!
Salmons had yet to recover from the torment of pneumonia and could not use his ability to control metal. The bullet hit Salmons squarely between the eyebrows, causing a huge gush of blood. He was sent into a state of near death!
Salmons' party skill was triggered and he was teleported to a random location within one kilometer. But was Aziz's notoriety for naught? Two seconds later, the subsequent bleeding damage caused by the bullet took the final bit of Salmons' life!
Salmons, a man who could control metal and was regarded as the successor of Magneto, was brought down and killed in three seconds!!!
It instantly made Shali and Stend terrified of Aziz's frightening damage power. However, they overlooked Sheyan's role. They didn't know that this shot of Aziz would not work on contestants 99% of the time because it was rather similar to the insane attack of MCDH, the powerful sniper whom Sheyan encountered before. The shot required pre-judgment and a long charging time. More crucial was the fact that while Aziz was aiming at the enemy, the enemy would receive prompts.
Salmons, of course, received such prompts too. The reason he didn't dodge was because he needed to finish the final parts of his chant and he was too confident in his 'Glorious Barrier of Protection'!
He didn't believe that Aziz's attack could break this powerful defensive skill - and he was right. The only mistake he made was standing too close to Sheyan.
This mistake cost him his life.
Sheyan crossed his arms to protect his head from the furious strikes of Shali and Stend. The blows forced him to stagger back a few steps. Blood flowed down his mouth.
However, his sharp eyes sent shivers down the spines of the two enemies in front of him!
Now that Salmons was dead, the metal armour on Shali naturally became scrap iron and fell to the ground. The two men were about to resume their attack when Sheyan spoke to them with a smirk:
"Do you know why I spent so much time talking crap with Salmons? Do you really think that I wasn't aware of what he was doing?"
The two men in front of him were tightly wound as they had to be constantly on alert to dodge Aziz's terrifying shots. They didn't have any attention to spare to answer Sheyan's words. Cold sweat trickled down their faces.
Sheyan then sneered:
"No matter how slowly the US military react, they will definitely be here within half an hour. Talking with him has won me three minutes for the troops. Besides, Salmons wasn't the only one who was secretly preparing something. Why do you think his spell was suddenly interrupted?"
After hearing what Sheyan said, the two men instantly took a few steps back. This was the problem with a temporary party. They may perform very well when things were going their way, but once things turned south, they could crash in an instant.
As if to prove Sheyan's words, Shali suddenly covered his mouth with an incredulous expression. The sound of intense coughing intermittently escaped through his fingers. Meanwhile, Stend suddenly felt dizzy. He saw double and even started hallucinating!
They ran away immediately. Sheyan started moving as if he was going to give chase but finally decided against it.
A large number of participants were gathered here at the moment so the situation was still extremely dangerous for him. The 'Beast of Corrosion' was also in cooldown. It would not be worth it if he was ambushed after being drawn out of this strategic defensive spot. Furthermore, the two who ran away had not used their Honorary Dosages yet. Killing them would not be easy.
The reason Sheyan and Aziz could kill Salmons before this was because Salmons was overconfident and was eager to finish the battle quickly. Sheyan didn't think that he would come across such a situation a lot. To come across one such chance was already pretty lucky.
********
Currently, Aziz appeared very calm on the surface, but his heart was actually in turmoil. He couldn't help feeling extremely excited as he stared at the series of notifications that popped up after killing the opponent.
The last time he encountered Salmons with Zeus, they had a really difficult time. Why was that?
Because Aziz's bullets were made of metal. They would be affected once they fly into Salmons' area of control. Although Salmons was not as powerful as Magneto - who could stop the bullets in the air and repulse them back to kill - he still caused a staggering drop in Aziz's accuracy.
Zeus's gravitational field could do two things. One, it reduced the enemy's speed, and two, it increased his allies' speed. Although it showed some effect in that battle, it did not help much. Therefore, the Glory Party suffered a heavy defeat in that team battle.
But.....today's battle completely exceeded Aziz's expectation! If before this, someone were to tell him that he could easily kill Salmons by cooperating with a Growth Hunter, he would just shoot that person in the head. That's what he usually did to people who wasted his time.
But he won.
He. Won. So. Easily.
