Chapter 1158 - 43: Handsome for Only 3 Seconds
Chapter 1158 - 43: Handsome for Only 3 Seconds
Chen’s aura grew increasingly terrifying. Since the start of the battle, he had only made a move once, completely different from those mages who recklessly used their skills.
Chen pursued efficiency. In his view, every single point of Mana Value in a battle was precious. Even wasting a fraction was unacceptable to him. It’s a kind of positive compulsion, or rather, every Mage Lord had this compulsion.
The Dark Element compressed and gathered at Chen’s fingertips, causing the ground around them to tremble. Such a significant disturbance naturally caught the attention of the Ant King, who was tangled in battle with the Frost Giant and the Chairman.
"If that hits, things won’t be good."
The Ant King raised its arm to shield its head, blocking the Frost Giant’s hammer blow with a boom.
"Thirty-four styles."
The Chairman’s hand shot out like a blade, and the Hundred-style sculpture behind him mirrored the motion, amplifying the range of the attack a hundredfold.
With a clang, the Hundred-style’s golden giant hand pierced the Ant King’s side. Although the Ant King’s physical defense was formidable, it still felt stifled and pained.
The Ant King’s body was uncontrollably knocked backward, and what awaited it was the Frost Giant’s pair of war hammers.
Another boom echoed, embedding the Ant King into the ground.
It’s safe to say that if any one person present were missing, the Ant King wouldn’t have been in such a sorry state.
The Chairman seemed incapable of dealing with the Ant King and even lost an arm to it, but his role in the battle was crucial.
Firstly, the Chairman’s attack range was wide. More importantly, his attack speed was incredibly fast. As long as someone cooperated with him, his attacks were almost guaranteed to hit.
This was incredibly effective. Even if the Chairman’s attacks couldn’t cause visible injury to the Ant King, he would constantly weaken the Ant King’s stamina and frequently knock it away, creating numerous opportunities.
Old Smoke seemed insignificant, but he was instrumental in Su Xiao and Chen’s first round of concentrated fire on the Ant King.
Mizaki needs no further mention. She was a bold warrior who dared to engage the Ant King in close combat, and just this aspect showed her fearless nature.
Mizaki’s personality was undoubtedly fierce, but her strength today was entirely earned through intellect and courage; she was likely a successful woman in real life.
Su Xiao and Chen don’t need further elaboration. So far, they were the only two who had severely injured the Ant King.
Watching the Ant King attempt to break through the defense line, Old Smoke’s lips curled into a smile. He suddenly thought that if the four present formed a team, they would surely be invincible. This thought had just surfaced when Old Smoke shook his head with a bitter smile, as all four had such ’vexing’ personalities. Who knows what might happen if they teamed up for long? Just the fact that Chen’s three words could send someone into a rage was enough to handle, not to mention the bloodthirsty Su Xiao.
"Go ahead and try to break through the line. In a direct confrontation, I’m indeed not your match, but don’t even think of getting past."
Old Smoke took a deep drag of the large cigarette in his hand. Smoke swirled around him, and at this moment, despite being nearly 60, Old Smoke exuded a charm that could capture the hearts of many young women.
"The uprising... has already begun!"
No need to say it, Old Smoke was about to switch to his Rebel Leader mode again, known for being dashing for only three seconds.
Boom, boom, boom...
The Ant King unleashed a barrage of three punches on the Frost Giant, shattering its legs and half its torso into a mess of ice crystals scattered across the sky.
As soon as the Frost Giant was shattered, Mizaki’s eyes suddenly widened.
"The timing is just right."
Mizaki placed a finger on her forehead, just covering the upper part of the Trident pattern.
"Freeze!"
Mizaki suddenly yelled, and Old Smoke almost instinctively raised a foot as if to kick her face.
Crack, crack, crack...
A large chill emanated from the Frost Giant’s remains, enveloping the Ant King and Netero instantly.
"Bai Ye, Chen, don’t attack directly. The Sea of Ice is very strong and will affect your attacks on the Ant King. I’ll release the Sea of Ice in three seconds, and you’ll have to grasp the timing yourselves."
As a strong figure among the Third-tier contractors, for Mizaki, her three seconds were pinpoint accurate.
Chen took a deep breath, starting to count in his mind.
The ideal effect would be for Su Xiao and Chen’s attack to arrive just as Mizaki released the Sea of Ice, giving the Ant King no time to react, let alone dodge.
Su Xiao lightly squeezed the trigger, ejecting the Elemental Bullet (Dark) from the chamber. He noticed Chen’s attack was also Dark Attribute.
Is Dark Attribute + Dark Attribute an enhancement? Certainly not. If their operational frequencies differ too much, they may interfere with each other or even cancel each other out. Removing the Elemental Bullet (Dark) is part of combat experience.
The new elemental bullet was of the Fire Attribute, which didn’t interfere or merge with the Dark Attribute.
Su Xiao silently counted in his mind as a sharp roar pierced the air—it was Chen’s attack.
Not disturbed by Chen’s attack, Su Xiao knew the bullet and spell had different flying speeds. From the time Chen made his move, it was clear that the bullet from the Duke of Extinction was significantly faster than the ’Finger of Destruction.’
After a brief wait, Su Xiao pulled the trigger. The recoil forced the stock of the Duke of Extinction against his shoulder, and the thick canvas beneath him was already in tatters; even the concrete slab further below was cracked.
Bang.
A blast wave, easily over a dozen meters in diameter, spread out as the bullet was fired.
The flight speed of the fire attribute bullet was impeccable, leaving a fiery red pillar of light in its wake.
With a crack, the solid ice encasing the Ant King and the Chairman shattered, but the treatment each received was drastically different.
The Chairman was enveloped in a milky white glow, healed by that cute healer girl. As for the Ant King’s treatment...
A dark beam of light shot toward the Ant King’s face. As the Ant King regained its mobility, the light was already close, with no chance of dodging.
In the nick of time, the Ant King placed its tail in front to block.
Chen’s attack was stopped by the tail, but the accompanying bullet met no obstacles, directly targeting the Ant King’s Heavenly Spirit Cover.
Su Xiao fired three shots in total. Except for the second shot, which couldn’t lock onto the high-speed moving Ant King, the other two were aimed at its head.
Just by the domed carapace helmet on the Ant King’s head, you could tell its head was incredibly tough, but the inlay effect ’Grimace’ of the Duke of Extinction increased the headshot damage by a full 25%, meaning even the toughest head would be shattered.
Bang!
A ball of flame exploded, an effect caused by the Elemental Bullet (Fire). As for Chen’s attack, the firelight was too glaring, completely obscuring the residual wave from the Finger of Destruction. This attack was already magnificent while charging, but silent upon impact, contrary to the Duke of Extinction’s attack style.
The Ant King crashed and created a large crater in the ground, with flames raging inside—the orange-yellow fire boasting the trait of adhesive burning.
"Cough... cough... cough."
Weak coughs echoed from within the flames.
Tread, tread, a figure adorned in flames emerged from the inferno, leaving a trail of fiery footprints along the way.
