Obviously, the Illume-union's prowess was rather formidable, yet they were in a more miserable state.
This time, a legendary creature had appeared amidst the invasion of the beast horde. The legendary creature that assaulted the western and southern battlefields was the bulky and valiant Sturmbeest. Instead, the legendary creature that assaulted the Illume-union, was actually a gigantic leopard like creature!
Based on Uzel's description, it was very similar to the Thanatos beast of planet Pandora, the apex predator of Pandora! Also known as the Thanatos!
Not only was it shockingly sturdy, it even possessed agility unlike the Sturmbeest!
Thinking back to Archeaphill's bulky tower shield, it was the best choice for a defensive battle. However, once he faced such a high speed foe, a huge flaw would appear. This flaw didn't mean that he would encounter danger, but the entire defensive line with Archeaphill as the core would be riddled with holes.
Taking the previous battle as an example, after Reef left, Sheyan could still temporarily fill in the gap left behind by Reef's departure. However, even if Archeaphill could free himself to deal with the Thanator, how could Huck shoulder such an arduous mission? Don't ever forget, following the Thanatos was a tidal wave of viperwolves and slingers. More importantly, they had received reinforcements from the west … ….
Reef frowned, as he spoke to Sheyan.
"Even though I have some grudges with the Illume-union, but now, if they are crippled, we will similarly not be able to hold on until the Golden Side Mission appears."
Sheyan's eyes flickered, as he recalled the few core members of the Illume-union who had yet to act. He called Uzel over and inquired, before speaking into the party channel.
"Rescuing the Illume-union is definitely a must. But I still feel it's better to head to the southern battlefields first."
Reef was stunned for a moment, before he could inquire further, Sheyan had already replied softly.
"Time is pressing."
Reef took a deep breath, nodding his head. Following the outcome of the previous discussion, he selected 6 individuals to rush towards the southern battlefield. Amongst these 6 individuals, there was the sniper Jin Ximin who was previously rescued by Reef; the dual dagger agility specialist Lille; the party member of the Sons of Caden, Jim; and the archer of the Gothic party, 70mAh. Other than Jim, all of them were high-damage players.
At present, the southern battlefield wasn't as safe as imagined. The combination of viperwolves and slingers, one long range and one close range, was already enough to cause a headache. Moreover, there was still a gigantic Sturmbeest rampaging within, disrupting the defensive line that was painstakingly formed. Only, it appeared that their attack output was exceptionally valiant, as they hunted in the order of slingers, viperwolves, and finally Sturmbeest. At the same time, they tried their best to evade the charge of the Sturmbeest. Although they weren't like Reef who could withstand the onslaught of the Sturmbeest, they were ruthless enough to trade human lives for time!
Without a doubt, this strategy was akin to handing over the lives of everyone to the Sturmbeest. Strictly speaking, after being locked onto by that fellow, they could exploit its weakness of being heavy and clumsy. If they were to run in circles, they would absolutely be able to persevere for a long period of time. At the very least, they would have the opportunity to escape! But that had to be in a 1v1 situation! However, this was a chaotic battlefield. Once a slinger or viperwolf ambushed them, they would undoubtedly perish.
At this moment, the contestants appeared!
With Mogensha as the leader, the four long range contestants simultaneously raised their bows and spears. Aiming at the Sturmbeest's buttocks, they opened fire simultaneously. Instantly, the pitiful giant's buttocks were blasted into a bloody mess!
In a flash, the eyes of this formidable creature turned bloodshot, as its humongous hooves dragged out six deep trenches on the ground. Then, it turned around and buried its humongous head in the dirt, as it charged towards Mogensha and the rest without hesitation!
Just as the Sturmbeest was about to collide with its target, Reef activated his' Courage 'ability. Like a war god, he charged forward and blocked in front of Mogensha! Then, he raised up his dazzling silver 'Alien' shield. After a muffled boom, Reef was once again sent flying, as though smearing a mournful trail of blood in the air!
Instead, the contestants in the distant southern battlefield simultaneously released a cry of alarm!
Instead, after Reef was sent flying, he somersaulted in mid-air, pressing his left hand against the ground as he half knelt. Then, he very calmly stood up and bandaged himself. As for the charging Sturmbeest, it couldn't help but stagnate momentarily. Seizing this opportunity, Sheyan naturally repeated his old trick; hurling a flask over. Then, he stood in front of the bandaged Reef, buying some time for Reef to recover.
The few contestants at the back naturally seized this opportunity to launch a frenzied assault! With someone restraining it from the front, the cumbersome Sturmbeest would find it extremely difficult to bypass the restraints of the restraints and directly attack them. The southern contestants were in an uproar, this was blatantly snatching monsters!
Even an idiot would know that a legendary creature in this battlefield would definitely drop a silver storyline grade equipment, or even a higher grade equipment. Instead, they were tightly entangled by the hundreds of viperwolves and slingers. Moreover, they had to face a very realistic problem – how to snatch the Sturmbeest back from the hands of Sheyan and the rest. Perhaps one of them could deal a devastating blow to the Sturmbeest, but they had to consider whether they could withstand the terrifying charge of the Sturmbeest … ….
Sheyan and the rest fought and retreated, luring the Sturmbeest back to the western region. With their previous experience, no doubt this Sturmbeest was valiant, but after charging left and right, its HP was still rapidly plummeting.
Just as its HP dropped to approximately 20%, Sheyan suddenly glanced at the back of his hand! He realized that the hairs on his body were standing on end one by one.
That sensation … …
That sensation was truly indescribable, as though his soul was about to be pierced!
Following closely, a gunshot resounded from afar. The sound of the gunshot was very strange, as if it was a belated echo that came after crashing through thousands of mountains and valleys for too long …. It actually gave people a very distant and melodious feeling.
When the gunshot resounded, Sheyan instantly felt an immense threat. He immediately disregarded his sorry state and pounced forward, rolling on the ground with his face covered in grime. Then, he turned around in astonishment.
The Sturmbeest in front of him was suddenly stunned, allowing all the attacks to land on its body.
Then, its basketball sized eyes suddenly ruptured, as black and grey viscous fluids sprayed out, splattering Reef and the nearby dual dagger agility specialist Lille all over. Furthermore, its nostrils and mouth overflowed with copious amounts of greyish white semi solid – that was the brain matter of the Sturmbeest. After a short while, the gigantic beast seemed to have its soul sucked out, as it collapsed with a loud bang!
What kind of terrifying attack was needed, to be able to kill this gigantic beast in one strike when it still had close to 20,000 HP!?
Sheyan abruptly turned his head, only to see a tall and skinny figure keeping his rifle. Green smoke lingered in the air as he turned around and walked towards the south, carrying a hint of arrogance and desolation. But most of it was arrogance, like a lone wolf stumbling into the distance. Not knowing why, at this moment, Sheyan suddenly thought of that Diaz who died under the hands of the Metals professor.
Snatching my kill right! This daddy can snatch it back too!
This contestant was undoubtedly a contestant from the southern region. Although his shot couldn't change the fact that Sheyan and the rest would definitely obtain the dropped key, but it still snatched away a large portion of the battle contribution points. It was like a slap to the faces of the western region contestants who participated in this attack. One must understand, the contestants who were still alive were all experts, how could they withstand such provocation?
Instantly a few people's eyes flashed with a sinister glint, especially the dual dagger agility specialist Lille. One could imagine, he was extremely experienced in dealing with long range gunmen. Once he got close to them, the outcome would be disastrous. Fortunately, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the silver key that dropped from the monster's head.
This time, Reef didn't monopolize it. According to the previous agreement, the silver key would be auctioned off on the spot. The highest bidder would win, and the profits from the auction would be split equally amongst the remaining contestants who participated in the attack. In the end, a weapon was obtained, called 'Bull Horn Ram'.
This weapon was a single handed thick blade, it increased strength and agility attributes, and even carried bleeding damage. It had the special effect of ignoring enemy defence by 8 points, but it had a peculiar equipment requirement:
That was' Basic Eloquence '(Corresponding to charm) lvl 5 and above. The weapon's description was, you have to convince the spirit of this weapon, to be able to unleash its greatest might … …
Without a doubt, this was one of Sheyan's weaknesses. Currently, he was extremely lacking in utility points and potential points, who knew when he would be able to upgrade his' Eloquence 'to lvl 5. Furthermore, the 3 members of the party had already expended a large sum of money before entering, and the total utility points they had was at most 3000 points. Even the starting bid wasn't enough!
After a fierce struggle between dragons and tigers, this weapon was purchased by the 'Sons of Caden' for 47,000 utility points and 13 potential points. The 3 contestants received close to 20,000 utility points and 6 potential points.
*****
Oh, it's been a long time since I interacted with everyone!
Instantly dealing 20,000 HP of the Sturmbeest is indeed a contestant ability. However, this ability has many restrictions, and it definitely won't affect the balance of this book. Oh, when this ability is revealed, everyone will know.
The question I want to ask everyone is to guess what the name of this ability is.
Note: This ability's name is the name of a very popular movie. (To be continued.) If you like this movie, I welcome you to donate your recommendation votes or monthly votes. Your support, is my greatest motivation.)
