Chapter 382: The path exhausted, the end of the road
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Drenched in blood, Sheyan observed the fleeing Lille as he retrieved his musket, and aimed its
black muzzle across! Activating ‘Rum and Songs’, he directly pressed the trigger!
Yet in that instance, a thin rampart appeared over Lille; its appearance similar to the ‘MPguard’
of a magic type contestant, yet it glowed with a faint darkness. This was an A grade item
he had obtained earlier on, it was called ‘Blessed-protection scroll’ which would project a
double-sided shield over oneself.
What it meant by double-sided shield is that if Lille attempted to attack from the inside, his
damage would equally be absorbed by the shield. Therefore, this scroll could only be activated
when escaping. Yet the devilish property of the shield actually not only absorbed the damage of
‘Rum and Songs’, it even negated the stunning effect! This was the first time Sheyan had
encountered such a situation. He couldn’t help but become distracted, but Lille had already fled
30 metres away by now.
Without hesitation, Sheyan raised his right hand as his ‘Barbaric-demon Pupil’ glimmered!
Within a second, it was like Sheyan had transformed into a raging bull as he drilled towards
Lille. Within mere seconds, he completely caught up to Lille, as he delivered a crushing
hammerfist down.
That fist instantly created a deep dent over the ‘Blessed-protection shield’, but it actually
hadn’t shattered. Instead, his fist carried an unstoppable might as it got deflected by the shield;
skewing to the left and smashing against a huge vegetable. Creakkk! Green juicy sap splashed
out, as the thick bark of the vegetable was smashed broken; releasing a piercing sharp crunch as
it collapsed down, leaves and dust soaring infinitely.
However, Lille was still fleeing! He appeared to have shrugged of Sheyan once again. But at this
moment, a huge fog of poison fog swept out! It was indeed a curse-mix Sheyan had thrown.
Even though the shockwave caused by the curse-mix landing had been negated by the
‘Blessed-protection shield’, the 20% movement decrease was still apparent.
Because of that 20% decline in speed; Sheyan once again dived forward, his entire body
seemingly parallel to the ground as he landed an immense punch on Lille!
This time, without complaints; that thin black shield was directly penetrated through,
‘popping’ as it disappeared like a soap bubble. Sheyans fist instantly knocked Lille’s eye black,
as he directly crashed against the tree ahead.
Seeing stars and a bloodied nose, Lille stumbled against the roots and tripped, falling to the
ground. His mouth repeatedly wailed fanatically, his legs were wildly scrambling against the
ground; kicking off moss, grass and soil, spraying backwards like a drizzle……..
Yet why would Sheyan forgo such a great opportunity. He surged forward several steps as he
bluntly pounced through the air, and drilled down his right elbow with matchless viciousness!
Striking against Lille’s right calf.
At present, Lille was like an arrow at the end of its flight. A shrilling shriek emerged from him,
while his right calf bluntly fractured into a deformed shape.
But at this moment, Lille’s will to live was surprisingly as enduring as before! He issued a
crazed exclamation.
“How can I die here! How can I die here. Jemu is still waiting for me at home, Vanessa is still
waiting to be revived! I must live on, I definitely must live on!”
Carrying such a stubborn conviction, Lille trampled against Sheyan’s face, as mud and grass
blended with the blood on his face. At this moment, Lille disregarded everything; clawing his
fingers into the soil as he scurried forward, even ignoring his overturned fingernails.
Sheyan wiped away the filth on his face as he raised his head, immediately a boomerang
emanating cold air swerved over. His vision froze as he could only stretch out his remaining
right hand to block. The boomerang’s damage wasn’t high and only managed to shave off a
couple of HP after ‘Endurance’. However…...its frosty speed decline had once again enveloped
Sheyan’s body. A distinct sensation of frostbite could be felt from his legs.
After a 40% movement speed reduction, compared to a nearly crippled Lille, whose speed was
faster?
After a short 5 seconds, Sheyan found the answer; it was actually Lille! The long range threat of
‘Ambition’ still had a 41 seconds cooldown timer, and that ‘Horn-rage’ had an even longer
cooldown duration……..after 41 seconds, Lille would have at least widened the gap by over a
hundred metres!
After 6 seconds, Lille was similarly aware of that fact. After escaping the range of ‘Ambition’, he
glanced back his eyes carrying an additional mockery. This male continued feverishly limping
forward. He laughed, as an oddly scoffing tone resounded.
“Goodbye Seaman. I admit you’re strong, I cannot defeat you…….but can you chase?”
Sheyan had already halted as though he had given up. Instead, a strange flicker of silver glow
emitted from his fist. Without expression, he voiced out.
“I cannot………”
Lille licked his dried lips with his tongue, tasting the soil and brown bloodstains. His voice then
projected out with a leisure, brimming with vengeful ridicule.
“You broke my leg, still you can’t even chase me! Trying to kill me? In your next life!! Makaji
(Harlim) is an official true Growth-Hunter; even though he is dead, it is impossible for golden
AK to rely on his own strength to free himself from the bindings of the flesh vines! Therefore,
though I cannot deal with Reef, but…….you can collect golden Ak’s corpse soon! Hahahaha, isn’t
that such a pleasant surprise?”
At present, Lille had already fled 40 metres away. Still, Sheyan was standing motionlessly, his
expression was a little mysterious; rather cynical, yet somewhat sarcastic.
“I have something to warn you. Though I cannot chase you, but…….they can!!!”
As Sheyan’s voice echoed out, peculiar earthen mounds sprung up abruptly from the ground.
The 3 spongy mounds swiftly enlarged, as though something was about to erupt out.
The loose soil rolled down, every earth mound had now grown to a metre large. Within the
cracks of the earth, one could shockingly see a layer of incomparably tough greyish-black
membrane. The membrane appeared like flesh, glossy and silky; seemingly brimming with
fluids internally.
With piercing grunt, the cracks of the earth mound blasted forth; repulsive arachnid fluids
spilled everywhere as they released an assailing amniotic odour, and flooded the soil around.
From within each earth mound, 2 black creatures leapt out. Each creature was roughly the size
of a wolf with enlarged front claws. Its entire body was without skin, its appearance completely
flesh red, muscles and vein lines could be distinctly seen. An extension from the back of its
head, carried sharp horns. Its claws were frighteningly incisive, and had a head of an ant-eater.
Wrapped around its body’s periphery was an obvious black indication……..
This, this was the product of the ‘Zergling eggs’ he had acquired from the Starship Trooper
world. Currently, he had utilized 3 eggs to spawn out 6 Blackthorn zerglings!
When Sheyan had purchased the eggs, the Blackthorn tribe had already upgraded to a Class ‘II’
arachnid base. Therefore, the zerglings he spawned similarly possessed those standards.
Under Sheyan’s command, the 6 speedy zerglings dashed through the forest with ludicrous
speed; splitting apart as they ferociously locked onto the distant Lille!
In this instance, Lille finally sunk into despair. He had bet on his trump cards to protect him
adequately. Yet he had never anticipated that this Seaman that resembled a powerful support
character, was actually flourishing abundantly with murderous schemes!!
About to enter near death state, as a reserve-duty Growth-hunter, Lille would still be able to
successfully slay those 6 zerglings. However, this period of delay was sufficient for Sheyan to
catch up to him 10 times……..but if he ignored the zerglings and continued fleeing, one
shouldn't ever forget, he had no such innate ability like ‘Endurance’. The 6 zerglings were able
to deal 3-4 damage with every claw; an accumulated total of 20 points every assault was not
something that the present Lille could afford!
15 seconds later, already in a critically wounded state, Lille was struck flying as he heavily
crashed against the lateral tree and slumped to the ground. The 6 zerglings had all fallen on
him. Yet he couldn’t dodge from Sheyans booming fists. A white lightscreen covered his body, it
was the party skill of the Banks Syndicate ‘Life-guard’. Sheyan leisurely strolled towards him,
mercilessly raising his fist.
“Wait!!” Lille’s eyes were flickering with a wild desperation. “But how much HP do you actually
have!”
Sheyan’s fist pounded down, the ‘Life-guard’ vibrated violently.
“800 points. When I was left with 300 HP, I consumed the Honorary medicine. That was just to
let you think I was forced into a desperate peril. If not, how was I gonna make you stay and
battle with me, and finally get this chance to kill you?”
As his words faded, Sheyan slammed his fist down! His motion was stiff and cunning, but
flashed down like a thunderbolt. Unable to block or defend, the ‘Life-guard’ vibrated again, its
glow weakened to a state of nothingness.
Watching dreadfully as Sheyan retracted his fist, preparing to accumulate strength before
smashing down again! Lille yelled frantically.
“NO!!!!!! I can give you all my equipment, spare me!”
(TN: Sheyan got his honorary medicine from Reef back in the Starship Trooper world. Around
the period he saved Reef, or slightly later)
