Those herculean gypsy knights definitely couldn’t be shot down within a short period of time.
If Mogensha was alone, ten seconds would suffice to chase him down. Fifteen seconds later, his head would roll. Thirty seconds later, his corpse would be dissected and offered to appease the fury of the totemic demon beast.
All of the gypsy’s attention had congregated onto Mogensha. All of a sudden, several trees nearby were releasing shuddering snaps as though a surge of uncontrollable momentum was passing through and toppling them. Sonorous snaps of branches and collaborations resounded.
A black figure charged in with unbelievable speed, hauling deep-blue melancholic glitters behind him. Its target was shockingly the gypsy spade diviner, Trish!
This black figure exuberated a surge of ardent baleful aura, as he threatened to press down space itself! Because of the extravagant speed of his charge, the wafting leaves and sediments behind him failed to descend even after a long while; portraying a scene of a long queue of winding sediments!
"Horn-Rage!!"
This was indeed Sheyan’s brazen operation to launch a beheading. Allowing Mogensha to bait the enticement of their foes, he would then deal with the gypsy diviner; a magic based character with weak life points.
He planned to behead her in a flash, and inflict a severe blow to the gypsies.
However, plans would eternally fall short of changing variables. Sheyan was no god, he could at most be associated with mortals who committed less mistakes. In this very ambush, he committed a grave mistake.
This beheading operation fundamentally resided in his ability to speedily dispatch off the gypsy diviner named Trish! If he couldn’t attain this fundamental point, then he would sadly plunge himself into a treacherous peril!
When Sheyan appeared with his berserking charge, he unavoidably attracted the attention of those ten gypsy knights. As a result, the pressure on Mogensha slackened and allowed him to escape the heavy encirclement at once.
Instead, gypsy diviner Trish who just released her two black poker cards spun round. As the most trusted gypsy diviner of Jiejie, if she didn’t possessed her own trump cards, how would she be able to command and intimidate the crowd?
As she casted her gaze on the charging Sheyan, her lips curled into a cold smile. At this instant, her sneer twitched as her facial muscles strangely wrinkled!!
The back of her pair of eyes suddenly turned blood crimson, shining as brightly as a light bulb! Her muscles swelled and expanded, while her back subsequently crooked. Her skin was discolored into crow black and wrinkled up, while her entire body was enveloped in a layer of mild black glow!
Not only that. Shua!
Within a second, her fingernails elongated and pierced out incisively like a razor blade; probably able to scrape out sparks with one fury swipe!!
This weak like air gypsy diviner was actually shape shifting in this instant, morphing into the demonic monster Rahu of Indian mythology. As Sheyan charged into her face, the arms of the terrifying monster danced violently as though it transcended the speed of sound; morphing into an indistinguishable portrayal of ten killing weapons, that would cast the charging Sheyan into the shadows of death!
In the eyes of the gypsies, Sheyan who had fanatically charged into monstrous Trish was undoubtedly a dead man!! In her diabolical and frenzied demonic state, Trish could even dissect a cow within three seconds!
Sheyan profoundly collided against Trish. Although he inflicted some damage onto her, the scariest thing happened. At this moment, his nightmare imprint transmitted a heartless notification.
[ Assaulted target is in a frenzied state: Immune to pain or stunning effects. ]
Then, ten sharp crow-black fingernails carried black streaks, as it poured down like a torrential rain of frenzied clawing. Sheyan received the direct brunt of those clawing fingernails, feeling as though five daggers were lacerating up and down him; flesh whirled up on his wounds with jet-black festeration, appearing incomparably ruthless and miserable.
"Explosive strike!! She must’ve used a single ability that can unleash explosive strike with every attack!"
There was utterly no chance for him to implement other contingencies. After receiving a cycle of crazed clawing, another bout of claws viciously carved against him instantaneously.
His face was smeared entirely with dripping blood and mangled flesh. Even his left eye had been carved out, as black fluids blended with his blood and flesh; flowing out from his mangled eye socket. A rusty sweetness permeated within his mouth.
In that moment, Sheyan’s wounded eye socket felt like the distant sea breeze blowing in with a fishy stench, causing him to feel an aching stab in his exposed flesh that bored into his heart!
The intense pain didn’t cause Sheyan to cower. He ferociously plucked out ‘Ambition’, as he activated ‘Rum & Songs’ before shooting this demonic monster!
With a thunderous rumble, a lead bullet whizzed out and landed straight into the head of the gypsy diviner Trish; blood gushed out from the bullet wound.
Instead, she continued to viciously press in, her terrifying jet-black fingernails scraping incessantly; cleaving out three flesh wounds on Sheyan’s chest, so deep his bones could be seen. Even his interior skeleton was infested with that crow blackness.
That claw actually dealt an explosive strike!
Not only that but even the stunning effect of ‘Rum & Songs’ was negated, and it merely dealt damage!
The devastating might of Trish had completely eclipsed Sheyan’s expectations. He had initially believed her to be a mage type character, one he could strike easily and successfully escape. Instead, the cruel reality was presently served to his face, a harsh reality of a gruesome and desperate battle!
"What should I do?"
Sheyan’s mind flashed with that notion. If he immediately turned to flee, there would minimally be a slight chance of escaping but Mogensha would die!
In this state, Sheyan’s face received yet another claw! The previous claws were executed viciously from top down. Instead, this time her claws were swiping in horizontally, carving an interwoven ‘井’ character on his face. Blood trickled down his face like a devil!
"Could it be that today is the day I perish in the vile gutters of defeat?"
"HOW can this be! That year being pursued by Huashan Fei’s men, I was forced to the edge of death. That predicament was ten times, a hundred times, even a thousand times more desperate than this. Yet when have I ever been afraid?!!!"
In this instance, submerged in his absolute disadvantage, Sheyan suddenly felt as though his surroundings had calmed down. He could sense the vehement poundings of his heart within his thoracic cavity!
"What am I afraid, why am I cowering???"
Sheyan couldn’t refrain from questioning himself! His ears buzzed with fragments of slaps and clatter, because rage has stimulated his veins to rupture! His remaining left eye seemingly ignited up, thoroughly extinguishing all his hesitation and cowering.
A roll of tree bark suddenly floated high above his head. This tree bark looked rather ordinary, but it wasn’t at all ordinary. Indeed, it was the ‘Birch bark of the Hlidskjalf’.
This tree branch conjured up a golden shower in midair, as it poured down onto Sheyan and Mogensha!
Concurrently, Sheyan received yet another claw! This Trish in demonic state had truly employed a certain ability that could unleash terrifying explosive strike damages with every strike. His HP had already plunged deep beneath 30% by now. Sheyan instantly utilized his ‘Honorary Medicine Dosage’, as his HP restored to its optimal state!
"AARRGHHHHH!!"
Sheyan cried out ludicrously, Instead, the terrifying monster, Trish, laughed craftily as she licked off the flesh and blood lodged within her fingernails. Then within a flash, her claws cleaved down again. This time, Sheyan clenched his fist as he greeted her by lifting his head!
Razor sharp jet-black fingernails clawed down against his scalp effortlessly, scrapping out scrapy sounds against Sheyan’s ghastly white skull.
This time, the black glow covering Trish had waned gradually. She no longer dealt any explosive strikes, and her offenses were not as terrifying as before.
Meanwhile, Sheyan’s remaining eyeball combusted with bloodlusted frenzy, like a nail drilling into the enemy’s face! Right before another claw sunk down, Sheyan quickly hurled out a curse-mix, as moss green poison fumes fumigated into the air; lowering the strength of his opponent.
Then, he pulled out his deadly ‘+7 West’ as he ferociously slashed down onto Trish.
Blood splashed out from the slashed wound of the monster Trish, even spraying against Sheyan’s face. The splashing of her warm and fishy bodily fluids utterly fuelled the passion and courage of Sheyan.
Roaring forth with matchless ferocity, he discarded all else but solely focused on hacking this monster ahead!
Blood and fury flourished between them. Within a short duration, his ‘Zergling Rush’ ability was activated as Sheyan slashed out three blades consecutively!
At present, the deadliness of Sheyan’s ‘+7 West’ could not be discounted. With each chopping blade, it dealt four different damages! The first was the physical damage of his ‘+7 West’. The second was the special properties of the saber blade. The third, his crushing damages dealt to the demonized Trish. The fourth, was the true damages inflicted after he learned the ‘Flesh Explosion’ ability!
(TL: Recap of ‘+7 West’ ability – This incisive blade can penetrate through most armours. When weapon inflicts damage on opponent, it will deal additional damages. Additional damage is 30% - 50% of original damage. Additional damage negates defence! This effect has authority precedence (+1 from Lich Sandro’s Heart), similar to crushing damages. )
Of these four determining damages, only the first would be diminished by an opponent’s defence. The remaining three dealt direct damages that negated defence!! His saber was frightfully devastating in a war with contestants, but when clashing against storyline characters, it was equally penetrating!
Sheyan had completely abandoned defending, as he raised his saber to slash frenetically at his opponent!
One could only see chunks of flesh and blood being repetitively shredded asunder from both their bodies. Even the atmosphere around them was dense with a layer of faint red. The echoes of his long saber cutting against bones caused one to quiver with fear.
Simultaneously, chunks of scalp and mangled flesh were ripped out from Sheyan, and his eerie white skull cap could be distinctively glimpsed from the wounds!
