Such calmness caused Ammand to feel rather displeased. He took a deep breath and exhaled. For some unknown reason, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
Evidently, Harrod had also sensed something amiss. The blood mist shrouding his body abruptly turned faint. That was because he had deeply inhaled the blood mist into his body. Following that, the mist churned and rolled out from his mouth and nose. It gave off the impression of a dense summer sky filled with dark clouds. It was as though a dense tornado was brewing!
In a flash, Harrod raised his two-handed greatsword. One could distinctly observe that a layer of sparkling and translucent ice had formed on his hands, as though he was wearing a pair of snow gloves!
Furthermore, a layer of dense white mist had formed on his two-handed greatsword. The blade had even turned colorless and translucent. Even the air resounded with the tinkling of ice. Like a chilling lightning flashing across the pitch-black sea surface, the sword heavily chopped towards Sheyan. Yet strangely, following the trajectory of the two-handed greatsword, was the afterimage of two intertwined blood pythons tearing at each other!
Sheyan abruptly tossed out a flask of curse-mix onto the ground. Yellowish green fumes billowed out like a cloud, as though it was about to stick onto Harold's body. Instead, the blood mist churned, as it cleanly absorbed the potency of Sheyan's curse-mix! This blood boat actually possessed a special effect of purifying the abnormal state of Harrod's body.
Fortunately, the one-second stun effect of the curse-mix was instantaneous and still effective. It forcibly halted Harrod's offensive. At this moment, Sheyan unsheathed his saber. A resplendent blue glow flashed in a flash as he promptly blocked his front. Sparks flew in all directions as Harrod's saber cleaved down. Almost everyone's eyes were blinded by the dazzling light!
"Strange ….."
Most of the spectators were exceedingly experienced in battle. They could tell that Sheyan's prowess was exceedingly formidable. After receiving Harrod's saber, his body merely swayed a little, as though he was handling a butcher's saber with ease. Because of this, they were a little surprised as to why Sheyan's fighting style was so negative.
Previously, when Harold was attacking, he had clearly exposed a major flaw. If Sheyan seized the opportunity to attack, he would definitely inflict severe damage to Harold! Logically speaking, if Harold was injured first, then his next attack would be weakened by at least half of Sheyan's strength!
However, Sheyan simply sat and watched as such a golden opportunity slipped through his fingers. He used a tenacious and stubborn defensive attitude to express his determination to defend till the end. He looked at his opponent seriously and breathed in the blood mist. Then, with a smile on his face, he slowly pressed his fingers on the hilt of '+ 7 West'. Bit by bit, he bent his fingers and gripped the hilt tightly. Then, he loosened his grip and gripped it tightly again.
"Come on, the saber strike just now was powerful enough, but it was a little slow."
Sheyan spoke gently like a teacher instructing his disciple.
Harold remained silent. His expression was hazy within the blood mist. Instead, he exchanged glances with Sheyan, as though sparks were flying in the air!
All of a sudden, Harold pounced forward once again. With every step he took, a tiny blood vortex would be formed on the deck of the ship. Then, several large hands formed from blood mist would extend out from the vortex, pushing him forward and increasing his agility!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! This time, Harold consecutively slashed out three times! Every saber strike was brimming with the desperation of dying together with his enemy. He had completely abandoned his defense to deal the most ferocious damage to his enemy. Instead, Sheyan simply stood there calmly like a mountain range. Slashing out saber after saber, he blocked Harold's great saber slashes. With Sheyan's current 49 points of strength, he definitely wouldn't be so easily shaken.
"Boss, are you waiting for that?" Brother Black frowned.
Obviously, he was referring to the activation of the 'Adrenaline Armour'. One must understand, when Sheyan used his weapon to block his opponent's attack, he would similarly receive a certain amount of damage. Just by looking at the incomparably ferocious momentum of Harold's slashes, one could tell that his attacks were absolutely devastating. Although using a weapon to block would reduce the total amount of damage received, it definitely wasn't something one could endure for long.
At present, Reef was observing the battle, as he pondered and said.
"Boss's objective, I'm afraid there's a deeper meaning to it."
Facing the stubborn Sheyan, Harold suddenly raised his head to the sky and laughed maniacally.
"I truly didn't expect someone would actually use such a foolish method to deal with me. Fine then, since you're afraid of the terrifying might of a berserker, then continue blocking like this! Let's see if my strength will be exhausted first, or you will be jolted to death by me on this blood ship! "
As it turns out, the terrifying battle prowess of a berserker was largely due to them being unafraid of injuries. The heavier their injuries, the stronger their attacks! This was the same logic as an injured beast being even more dangerous. To a berserker who could convert pain into battle prowess, the lower his HP, the stronger his attacks.
The reason why Sheyan wasn't moved by Harold's various openings, was because he knew that once Harold saw blood, his injuries would instead unleash an even more berserk offensive power. Thus, he countered the myriad of changes with inaction, using defense as offense. This was to deny Harold the opportunity to display his greatest battle prowess.
However, Sheyan's method was excessively passive. One must understand, this was completely akin to drinking poison to quench one's thirst; completely ignoring the enemy and only focusing on defense. Moreover, his agility would be utterly suppressed by the blood ship! This method, unless both parties agreed on a time limit battle, or he wouldn't die no matter how many slashes he received. Yet at present, his battle with Harold would only end with one side dead!
To put it bluntly, if this continued, Sheyan was basically giving up his chance of survival in exchange for a chance to live for a few more minutes. If he were to give it his all, he would still have a slim chance of survival. But if he were to continue like this, he would definitely perish.
Harold laughed maniacally, as he continued brandishing his sword with unparalleled ferocity. It was simply like a torrential storm, leaving no room for respite. The spectators were all shaken to the core, as their palms broke out in cold sweat. Needless to say, Sheyan was experiencing this personally.
Suddenly, Sheyan's body flickered with a blue glow. Mogensha and Reef who were familiar with him knew that this was the sign of 'Zergling Rush' being activated. Sheyan, who had been on the defensive all this while, was undoubtedly waiting for this passive ability to activate. But what would he do next? Would he immediately retaliate, or continue defending to the bitter end??
*****
After 'Zergling Rush' was activated, Sheyan pulled out 'Ambition'!!
Because 'Ambition' had an excessively long reloading interval, it couldn't enjoy the benefits of the 'Zergling Rush' passive ability. Moreover, Sheyan was directly using the ability of 'Ambition' – 'Rum and Songs'!
Winds and clouds surged across the surface of the sea, as this pitch-black firearm spat out a glaring tongue of flame. A roaring lead bullet struck Harold into a stunned state, as large clumps of blackness seeped out from the bullet, enveloping Harold from head to toe, causing him to be stunned.
Concurrently, Sheyan who was unable to block, was slashed by Harold's saber on his right shoulder.
A muffled sound of flesh and bone being sliced resounded.
Blood spurted out! Blood spurted out, but before the blood could even land, it froze into pieces of red ice, scattering onto the ground!
Sheyan's expression remained unchanged, as' + 7 West 'once again appeared in his hands. The deep blue saber flickered, as it chopped down with a might that engulfed everything. His target, was shockingly the keel of the blood boat beneath Harold's crotch!
That's right, from the start, Sheyan had already set his target as this strange blood boat!!!
Harold didn't hesitate to compromise, as he insisted on battling with Sheyan on this blood boat. Evidently, this' geographical advantage 'was immensely beneficial to him. That was indeed the case. That red mist of the blood boat, appeared to be able to substantially restrain the enemy, purify the abnormal status of allies, and enhance the individual strength of allies. Sheyan reckoned that there was even a special effect of rapid recovery towards the end.
Sheyan was a person who never played his cards according to common sense. Hence, he wanted those vikings to swear an oath, so as to prevent them from finding an excuse to breach the agreement. Berserkers get stronger with injuries right? Then I won't hurt you, but I'll first destroy your tattered boat. Then, we'll start anew on another battlefield!
That's right, Sheyan's chosen battlefield, was the center of the surging sea of thousands of sharks!!
In this battlefield, even though Harold was similarly familiar with naval warfare, he would at most be on par with Sheyan. Instead, the surrounding thousands of sharks wouldn't pose much of a threat to Sheyan. This was because Sheyan's current defence had already reached 51%, and in addition to his innate 'Stronghold' 40 points of additional damage absorption, even if those sharks could inflict damage to Sheyan, it wouldn't be too severe!
Nevertheless, as a berserker, Harold was a classic example of a high attack but low defence. Being bitten by thousands of frenzied sharks, the threat posed to him was fatal!
At present, Sheyan's dagger was revealed. The surrounding people could grasp his train of thought, and couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Such shrewdness! Truly capable of causing one to tremble in fear! (To be continued.) If you like this work, I welcome you to vote for it on qidian.com. Your support will be my greatest motivation.)
