After releasing that shot, Sheyan immediately borrowed the recoil force to roll backwards. He then forcefully pulled out the pike from his body and tossed it aside. Fresh blood dripped down from the wound on his abdomen. Sheyan then tore off his shirt and wrapped it around his abdomen.
Although his own HP was rapidly depleting due to the poison and blood loss, Sheyan took advantage of the moment when Hertz Ruhr was howling in agony. He sneered as he fished out a sparkling stainless steel wine flask, gulping down a mouthful to recover 25 HP. Thus, after Sheyan's injuries stabilized, he still had 60 HP left. Coupled with his 15 points of defence, his survivability was comparable to an ordinary contestant in their peak condition.
On the contrary, Hertz Ruhr was in a much more miserable state. Not only was his left front leg broken, the poisoned bullet was embedded in his body. He didn't even have a proper weapon in his hands, it could be said that the situation was reversed in an instant. However, his character was still savage and unruly. After recovering from the excruciating pain, he collapsed to the ground. His arms were still waving like the wind as he roared and cursed. Occasionally, he would pick up rocks from the ground and hurl them at Sheyan. However, this level of long range attacks was a huge threat to long range occupations like Jess. To Sheyan who had the 'Endurance' innate ability, it was just a 1 HP deduction.
After gaining the upper hand, Sheyan heaved a long sigh of relief. The reason why he didn't hesitate to use 'Ambition' was simple. It was a pity that he hadn't even grasped the 'Basic Long Range Combat' lvl 1, his shooting accuracy was unimaginable. Furthermore, he had no talent in shooting. For a weapon like 'Ambition' with a 1 minute interval, once he missed, the opponent would definitely be prepared. More importantly, he had wasted the additional 50% explosive strike from the special effect of 'Ready'!
Under the premise that Sheyan needed to hit a certain part of the enemy, Sheyan could only engage in close combat. Only by exchanging injuries with the enemy, would he be able to create an opportunity to fire at the enemy!
In reality, Sheyan also wanted to directly finish off the enemy from afar. After blowing away the smoke from the muzzle, he coolly put on his jacket and confidently picked up his spoils of war. However, the cruel reality was, when Sheyan obtained the powerful 'Endurance' innate ability, he had also lost his long range offensive capabilities. Thus, he could only use 'Ambition' as a close combat weapon ….. a digression, if Diaz could possess such a terrifying weapon like 'Ambition', then his might would be at least twice that of Sheyan's!
A bright pearl cast into hatred, yet unmarried … …..
Facing Hertz Ruhr who had lost 80% of his mobility, Sheyan's following attacks were much more relaxed. He strictly followed the instructions in the manual, constantly maintaining the side of this gigantic centaur. Occasionally, he would find an opportunity to chop down with his axe when the centaur's movements were sluggish. Then, he would wait for 'Ambition' to finish reloading before firing a shot. Although he didn't have any critical strike bonus, the high 140 points of damage was still extremely terrifying.
3 minutes later, the valiant centaur Hertz Ruhr finally collapsed in a pool of his own blood. It could be said that he died with his eyes wide open. In the end, he even attempted to cast a dark magic spell to drain his blood. Instead, Sheyan was already prepared and charged forward without hesitation. His hatchet cleaved down on the centaur's thigh, and even dealt a critical blow to his vitals. Although Sheyan was sent flying by a powerful kick from the centaur's rear hoof, breaking at least 2 of his ribs, he could still withstand a few more of such attacks. As for Hertz Ruhr's final hope of survival, it was completely extinguished … …
After slaying this formidable centaur, Sheyan received a piece of bad news through his nightmare imprint.
"Your reputation amongst the centaurs has dropped by 300 points!" “
"The centaurs' aggro priority towards you has increased by + 2 points." “
Note: Aggro priority refers to, if Jess and Sheyan were to stand together, if he shot a centaur, the centaur would definitely chase after him. But if Sheyan's aggro priority is high, then the centaur would change targets and chase after Sheyan. No matter how much Jess stabs him in the ass, he wouldn't care.
Picking up the key dropped by Hertz Ruhr, Sheyan helplessly shrugged his shoulders. This guy only dropped a dark blue key, it was still lacking compared to the black key that Sheyan had anticipated. Actually, Hertz Ruhr couldn't be blamed for being stingy, but Sheyan's expectations were too high. To a small boss like him, there was indeed a chance of dropping a black key, and even an extremely small chance of dropping a low tier silver storyline grade equipment. But that was only a probability and not a certainty. Sheyan couldn't possibly be super lucky all the time, where everything would develop in a positive direction.
At present, Sheyan didn't have the time to check the attributes of the key. Time was of the essence, he couldn't confirm if the other centaurs had already discovered the commotion. Hence, it was best to quickly recover his HP. Looking at Hertz Ruhr's incomparably furious face after his death, Sheyan's heart stirred. He called the house elf Lagi over, allowing him to smear some blood on his feet and speedily run out, creating a false impression that the murderer had already left.
Simultaneously, Sheyan surveyed his surroundings, dragging Hertz Ruhr's corpse to a large tree. This tree had a dense canopy, Sheyan easily climbed up. He then carefully bandaged his wounds, carrying out a simple debridement and stitching. Although this wasn't like the realm's approved medicine, it could temporarily increase his HP recovery rate by 10%. Following that, Sheyan casually ate a packet of Patty's All Flavour Beans. Fortunately, he didn't taste any mucus, recovering 15% of his HP.
After waiting for roughly 5-6 minutes, Sheyan's HP had recovered to 150 points. Suddenly, a commotion broke out from the bushes, another centaur drilled out. Seeing Hertz Ruhr's mangled corpse, he was startled. He immediately charged forward to cast a spell, his hands emitting specks of black glow. It seemed like he was planning to cast a dark magic spell to heal himself.
Sheyan observed the centaur below, first activating his insight ability, he discovered that this centaur was an ordinary centaur, completely belonging to the poor version of Hertz Ruhr. It didn't even have any special abilities, and its HP was only 800 +. Sheyan then boldly leapt down from the sky, directly riding on the back of this unlucky child. Brandishing his butcher's bone hatchet, he chopped wildly.
This ordinary centaur didn't possess Hertz Ruhr's valiant spear technique. After being ambushed, it couldn't even display its most proficient archery, and its speed advantage was even more negligible. It frantically hopped about on the spot, shrieking in fright as it attempted to fling Sheyan off. However, Sheyan's hand was tightly gripping onto its neck. Then, he directly pressed 'Ambition' against its head and pulled the trigger with unparalleled savagery!
Although 'Ambition' didn't have the 'Ready Effect' to trigger, attacking the head would still result in an additional explosive strike rate! Especially Sheyan's shameless method of using 'Ambition' as a close combat weapon, pressing it against the head and pulling the trigger. It was almost guaranteed to hit the vitals, the explosive strike rate naturally increased. A single shot directly blasted apart the centaur's head! Although it wasn't a fatal shot like in the real world, it obviously caused the centaur to fall into a fatal state of loss of function! Mournful cries resounded as it swung its head around in circles. Sheyan then took the opportunity to violently assault its legs. After a short 3 minutes, this unlucky centaur once again suffered from Sheyan's treacherous hands.
After picking up the key dropped by the centaur, Sheyan repeated the same trick. Shamelessly hiding in the trees, he ambushed a total of 5 other centaurs. Speaking of which, it was fortunate that centaurs had low voices, and their mournful cries didn't travel far. Furthermore, that house elf Lachi was actually able to mask the stench of blood. Thus, it resulted in such a situation.
But apart from the initial Hertz Ruhr, the rest of the centaurs were all ordinary goods. Their strengths weren't valiant, and they didn't have any good harvests. Furthermore, the Patty's Whole Flavour Beans that he purchased were completely depleted. Although he still had the Mars chocolate bar and the chocolate frog that he hadn't used, he couldn't possibly exhaust all his trump cards here.
While ambushing the rest of the centaurs, Sheyan also encountered a thrilling situation. When he ambushed a centaur and its HP was reduced to less than half, another centaur came rushing in as reinforcements. If not for the 'Rum and Songs' of his' Ambition ', he would've instantly killed the injured centaur. If not, it would've been an extremely perilous situation. Even so, its HP had dropped to 30 points, and it didn't dare to stay any longer.
Although Sheyan didn't seem to have much difficulty in killing centaurs, it was something that couldn't be replicated by others. Because centaurs could engage in both long range and close combat, and their HP wasn't low. Thus, to solo them, one had to fulfill two conditions. Firstly, one had to possess sufficient resistance. Fragile contestants like gunners and wizards would be beaten half to death by the centaurs' javelins and arrows, and could only be slaughtered by the centaurs. Secondly, one had to possess sufficient explosive strength and offensive capabilities. One had to prevent the centaurs from escaping, and also have to end the battle within a short period of time, to avoid the awkward situation of 1 vs 2.
Although these two conditions seemed simple, to other contestants, it was like a heavenly moat! In the realm's environment where teamwork was encouraged, it was impossible for Sheyan to be so perverted. (To be continued.)
