Despite suffering such a sudden attack, Sheyan was already prepared for it. He swung his' + 7 West 'horizontally and chopped down the liquid hand that couldn't retract in time. Liquid splashed out, but the notification made Sheyan suck in a breath of cold air.
[Enemy??? You are immune to this attack!]
"Hmph hmph hmph, foolish chess piece. Obediently accept your fate of death! How can a rank 1 contestant like you contend against an Awakener like me? Remember, you will die under the hands of King Druba! "
A deep and gloomy voice abruptly boomed. But when one looked around, all they could see was torrential torrents and turbid waves. Apart from Sheyan, there wasn't a single person in sight.
The fallen Sheyan slowly stood up from the wooden raft.
His movements were very steady, but very slow. One could even feel his muscles contracting one by one, as if they were controlling the movements of his body.
Sheyan didn't reply to the enemy's provocation. Instead, he concentrated on sensing the enemy's movements. All of a sudden, the liquid hand appeared behind Sheyan once again. This time, the liquid hand congealed to his shoulder. Shockingly, it grasped a sharp icicle and pierced towards Sheyan's lower body!
Sheyan quickly turned around again, but the action of the liquid hand that grasped the icicle was too swift. The only consequence of turning around was having his lower abdomen pierced by the lethal weapon held by the liquid hand.
Sheyan's facial muscles twitched, but he didn't show the slightest trace of fear. He immediately chopped down with his saber again, but the merciless notification once again sounded.
[Enemy??? You are immune to this attack!]
Sheyan's response to such a devastating reminder was to forcefully lower his lips, licking the blood back into his throat. Then, he slightly arched his body, as his eyes emitted a wolf-like glint that seemed to be choosing a prey to devour!
"So what if you're an Awakener? Come on, come again! "
*****
Three short minutes later.
Sheyan's body was covered with cuts and bruises, and he was on the verge of collapsing. Blood flowed down from his body, soaking the ground beneath his feet red.
In order to persevere until now, he had already used an honorary dosage. He had even used his party skill, 'Gloryheal'!
Noteworthily, the opponent actually attempted to interfere with his party ability, but failed miserably. Sheyan even received a notification:
[The enemy is actively disrupting and suppressing your team's abilities.]
"The enemy's party will deduct 15 party experience points, which will be converted into your party's experience points."
However, such a small victory could not cover up the fact that Sheyan was forced into a desperate situation!
In actual fact, his offensive prowess was exceedingly high. One could tell from the way he attacked those storyline characters, half-elves, that these half-elves would perish with a single stab!
The translucent hand wielding an icicle appeared once again. Although Sheyan tried his best to evade, the opponent's speed was simply too fast. Completely dodging was futile, and he could only retaliate when he was injured.
Yet this time, when Sheyan raised his saber to retaliate after being stabbed, there was no longer a notification of 'Enemy??? You are immune to this attack! '. Instead, fresh blood flowed out from the severed wrist of the liquid hand! Then, it transformed into liquid and seeped into the river below the bamboo raft.
"So it was like that." Sheyan's complexion was deathly pale due to the loss of blood. Fresh blood trickled down from the corners of his mouth, but his face revealed a faint smile.
"Your attacking style, is bizarre and bizarre. Its offensive prowess is exceedingly tyrannical. You don't even need to reveal your true body to attack the enemy. If the water elemental hand you imitated couldn't harm your true body, then this ability is simply too perfect! It was a pity that there was nothing absolutely perfect in this space. From the looks of it, my gamble paid off! "
As it turns out, Drubal possessed an exceedingly powerful defensive ability, called 'Refraction'. It could only be used once every hour. After using this ability, his body would form 3 layers of lightless shield to protect himself.
Every layer of lightless shield would shatter upon receiving any damage from the contestant, and the contestant would be immune to the damage. When receiving a storyline character's attack, the shattered lightless shield wouldn't be immune to damage, but would instead absorb a huge amount of damage upon shattering.
The lightless shield would last for half an hour.
This was the reason why Sheyan's consecutive attacks were all nullified!
Sheyan didn't wait for Drubal's reply, but he didn't expect to receive any. He leisurely continued.
"More importantly, from the start, I've been pondering over a problem. Even in such a situation, you can still pursue me like a shadow. Furthermore, your ability is related to water. Logically speaking, a water elemental hand that melts into the flood environment would undoubtedly be more lethal to me. That way, the concealment of your assassination would be terrifyingly high, and you wouldn't have to risk the danger of my counterattack. Moreover, flipping over this wooden raft would be as easy as lifting your hand. But now, our battle has already lasted for a full 5 minutes. Why would you rather battle me on this wooden raft? "
As Sheyan spoke, he coughed out blood. Laughing heartily, he raised his long saber and chopped down viciously at the wooden raft!
"The only explanation is, you don't wish to engage in a water battle with me! Furthermore, considering the fact that my disease has completely lost its effects on your body, I can roughly deduce that you must be using a unique method to exist! "
Amidst the splashing of water, Sheyan had already slashed through the wooden raft and plunged into the water. Strangely, the incomparably violent storm was only limited to a few kilometres around the elven heroes. The rest of the area was merely drizzling, and the current wasn't as turbulent as before.
Sheyan's swimming ability was superb, it could be said that there wasn't much difference between being in water and being on land. After entering the water, he immediately realized that at a distance of 10 metres away from him, there was actually a clump of clear and limpid translucent object swaying about. It was a stark contrast to the surrounding turbid water!
Upon closer inspection, one would realize that clump of translucent object had a human form, with a head, arms and legs!
Indeed, this was the reason why Drubal was immune to Sheyan's disease, and also the reason why he wasn't willing to sink the wooden raft!
Because he had already activated the ultimate ability of his' Elemental Body ', where his body had completely transformed into a water elemental lifeform. Not only was he immune to most diseases, he even had a 33% chance of negating all damage when receiving physical attacks. Furthermore, his' Lightless Shield 'would only be triggered after receiving damage!
This was the fundamental reason why Sheyan had to slash out 6-7 times to thoroughly shatter Drubal's' Lightless Shield ', and inflict damage to Drubal's body!
Fortunately, Sheyan's mental fortitude was exceedingly good. If it were anyone else, they would've definitely misjudged that Drubal was completely immune to physical attacks without knowing the enemy's background. Thus, they would've been completely lost, and would've perished in the hands of the mysterious Drubal.
"Indeed an Awakener.... his reputation is well-deserved!"
Although Sheyan spoke casually, his heart was already in an uproar!
One must understand, from the start of the battle till now, Sheyan had merely slashed his opponent once. Furthermore, for the sake of figuring out the enemy's background, Sheyan had already paid an exceedingly bitter price, and could be said to have exhausted all his trump cards! Yet now, he was facing an Awakener enemy, and had only been slashed once. He hadn't even utilized his' Honorary Dosage ', which was his trump card!
Furthermore, Sheyan's greatest reliance, the 'Pestilence Monarch', had been sidelined. Even flu and bronchitis were immune to Drubal's' Elemental Body '!!
At this moment, what would Sheyan do? Or rather, what could he do?
Without a doubt, Drubal only wished to maintain his mysteriousness. For the sake of safety, he insisted on not attacking Sheyan's wooden raft. This was the same logic as how a sniper wouldn't choose to expose himself in an open field. But that didn't mean he wasn't proficient in water battles.
In actual fact, to engage in a battle with a water elemental in the middle of a flood, one's brain would truly be short-circuited. Just by looking at Drubal's ability to chase up to the wooden raft amidst the flood, and launch consecutive assaults at Sheyan, one could tell he wasn't weak in water battles.
Hence, the first thing Sheyan did after slashing open the wooden raft and ascertaining his current situation, was to swim ashore. Fortunately, this river was only 20 metres wide.
Just as he stepped ashore, Sheyan suffered another ambush from Drubal. This time, the terrain was a huge help to Sheyan. He abruptly leapt onto a nearby boulder, causing the water elemental hand congealed beneath his feet to miss.
Sheyan fled in a sorry state, while Drubal pursued relentlessly. It was drizzling here, and his elemental body was gliding through the muddy road in a bizarre manner; appearing like a ghost.
In the process of fleeing, Sheyan similarly suffered two ambushes.
Drubal's assault was simple. First, he squatted down and pressed his right hand against the ground, disappearing into the earth. Following that, his demonic water elemental hand gripped an icicle, as it appeared beside Sheyan and assaulted him! (To be continued.
