Chapter 917: Probing Attack

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

'So daring of you. You're that confident the grenades would be effective on me?' Sheyan could not help but sneer when he heard the footsteps. 'You're underestimating me way too much.'

He grabbed the chair next to him and threw it, then waited for a moment before he charged!

Sheyan was very clear on his current position and role. With him restraining the opponent on the frontline, the extremely frail but extremely hard-hitting K could display his full strength!

After Sheyan charged for about two to three meters, he finally saw two black shadows preparing to launch an attack amidst the white tear gas near the door! On their bodies were a faint black glow which was a sign that they were infected by his 'Pestilence Monarch', but those two were still oblivious to it.

"Power of Corrosion'', activate! Target: the guy in the front who holds the shotgun. Symptom: chest pain!"

A black illusionary image of the 'Stairway of the Sun' emerged from body of Sheyan.It grew wildly with its branches waving, looking as if it would penetrate through heaven and earth.

Then, from Sheyan's body, a strange illusionary black line emerged and connected to the person who held the shotgun. The branches of the black illusionary image of the Stairway of the Sun behind Sheyan moved nimbly like human fingers and gently grabbed the string, then strummed it like a harp!

The participant shivered all over and instantly grabbed his chest with his left hand! However, his right hand was still firmly on his shotgun.

Sheyan immediately activated 'Hornrage'. He bore a tunnel through the tear gas and crashed into the participant at a very high speed!

The sound of his blade cutting deep into skin and bones was always so beautiful to his ears. The blood that splattered somehow gave rise to a feeling of passionate thirst in Sheyan's throat. He continued to attack fiercely.

The other participant was closing in on him with a short sabre that was glowing dark gold. The edge of the short sabre was like a shark's teeth, tearing flesh from Sheyan's body, but Sheyan still persevered with his attacks on the participant with the shotgun. He was violent, crazy, determined; like a battle-crazed grizzly bear who saw blood.

AAAAARRRGGGHHHHH!

Sheyan took 7 cuts from the other participant. Each cut carved out a piece of flesh from his body. At the same time, Sheyan himself made 3 slashes on the shotgun-wielder!

The first slash cut straight into his body. The second slash cut deep through his ribs. The third slash pierced into his heart! The beating heart twitched. Blood gust out like a fountain, causing a fatal damage.

Suppression! Explosive hit! Ignore defence! Extra damage from muscle explosion!

Terrifying damage values popped up one after another!

Only now did the shotgun-wielder man cried out loud. He shot at Sheyan, trying to stop the powerful opponent with steel bullets and smoke. However, Sheyan merely smirked and raised his empty left hand!

5 strange tendrils grew out of his left hand fingertips. A lump of darkness congregated on the palm, then lashed out in a flash. The darkness slithered like a snake in the air as if it had a life of its own. It gave off the feeling that anyone who crossed eyes with it would have their very soul restrained!

The shotgun-wielder screamed loudly. He knew that he definitely couldn't let this thing touch him. However, Sheyan's 'Beast of Corrosion' had locked-on to his soul in an instant. Although the shotgun-wielder struggled and ran away in a frenzy, the 'Beast of Corrosion' still caught up to him after about eight meters. It bore fiercely into his body!

Originally, the 'Beast of Corrosion' was a tactical weapon which must be used cautiously like nuclear weapons. That's because it must be fed with Sheyan's own flesh and blood! It took 80-800 points of his HP, plus it could only be used under the 'Poison Monarch' state. Switching from 'Pestilence Monarch' to 'Poison Monarch' would consume a further 30% of his HP. If he struck the jackpot of 800 HP, he would be half dead before he even attacked!

Now, after the 'Stairway of the Sun' had swallowed the clone's 'Stairway of the Sun', Sheyan obtained the special effect of having the negative effects halved. The use of 'Beast of Corrosion' would only take 40-400 points of his HP, and the HP consumption when switching was also reduced to 15%.

For the current Sheyan whose HP had now soared to over 4,000 points with extra defence, the 'Beast of Corrosion' had become an acceptable common-use weapon. After all, Sheyan also had the 'Gloryheal' ability supporting him, which was his advantage compared to other participants.

The expression of the shotgun-wielder instantly paled after he was hit by 'Beast of Corrosion'. His body flashed with the use of an honorary dosage! There was extreme fear in his eyes when he looked at Sheyan. He knew that if Sheyan's next attack was an explosive hit, he would fall into near-death!

Contestants can gamble with anything, but they would never gamble with their life unless they were in a hopeless situation!

At that moment, Sheyan felt the sensation of cold steel on his back, followed by a warm, searing pain; a sabre had cut into his flesh. Next, he felt a strong force binding his legs and made him stumble. It was probably the short sabre-wielder using his ability in his anger.

What followed was a deafening explosion and a blazing fire. Sheyan's HP fell madly. But even so, he still had close to 3000 HP remaining!

After Sheyan became a Growth Hunter, he had turned into a monster. The loss of HP from using the 'Beast of Corrosion' and switching to 'Poison Monarch' amounted to around 800 points. The sabre-wielder had a total of 14 seconds to attack Sheyan. Under the protection of the 40% rule, he was still able to shave off almost 500 points of Sheyan's HP in such a short period. His attack power could already be considered very strong.

The doubling of all pure attributes after becoming a Growth Hunter was truly life-changing!

Sheyan rolled on the ground a few times to put out the flame on his body. When he raised his head, he found that K had climbed out from the corpse freezer cabinet, violently coughing.

On his fingers was a silver weapon that was so tiny that it looked like a toy. But when he took a shot, the power of the blow was strong enough to make Sheyan feel the threat of death!

The participant who had been attacking Sheyan was sent flying for over 30 meters, crashing into the wall and leaving in it a huge human-shaped hole! He had a small round dark gold shield in his hand. The brilliance on the shield had dimmed. Cracks had formed all over the shield starting from a dent in the centre!

It was obvious that the dark gold shield had blocked most of the impact from K's shot! The power of the MIB's weapons were strong, more than what most Growth Hunters, and even Awakeners, could handle. After all, even powerful aliens would be shot into pieces taking attacks from the MIB's weapons head on!

'Someone who uses a small dark gold shield…and a short dark gold sabre with a sawtooth edge,' Sheyan coughed a few times, and suddenly came to a realisation:

'He's not an Agility-type assassin. Agility-type contestants can't master Shield Proficiency. He's a Strength-type berserker! He's obviously hiding his strength. It's impossible for a berserker to not master Dual-wield Proficiency. He's only using the sabre-shield combination because he's temporarily cooperating with another person!'

Sheyan frowned when he saw the guy trying to run away. He was about to give chase when he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the side. A videotape flashing a red-hot glow flew in from the window and turned into a fierce robot dog made of steel alloy. It pounced towards Sheyan and bit ferociously, intercepting his path.

The robot dog was honestly a very troublesome opponent. Its exterior was made of steel. Sheyan's attack would be more effective if his blade could somehow turn into a hammer. In addition, the dog was very agile. It was very good at butting the enemy with its head to make the enemy fall down. It could also eject two blades from its waist, so even when Sheyan dodged its strike, he was still easily hurt by the blades. They produced two long wounds on Sheyan back that bled profusely.

The opponent apparently did not intend to kill Sheyan by relying on the robot dog. It's purpose was only to keep Sheyan's hands full. A trace of cold flashed across Sheyan's eyes. He suddenly rolled forward a few times and launched a series of provocative attacks on the robot dog. The angered robot dog pounced and the sharp blades once again protruded out from its waist like a pair of wings. But Sheyan suddenly sat down on the ground!

The robot dog obviously won't miss this opportunity. It opened its mouth and bit onto the arm Sheyan stretched out to block. However, this action, which was the best course of action it could take under the circumstances, led to a painful scream!

The blades that were ejected from the waist of the robot dog unintentionally killed Dr. Anna, the important storyline character who could be considered the female lead in Men in Black 1 !!
