Chapter 694: Falling apart
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The two rhombus frost daggers drilled against Reef\'s shield in a flash, and dissolved into crystalline blue that encapsulated Reef and froze him into an ice sculpture. Reef groaned as he endured potent damages dealt by the twin frost daggers, where his health dwindled close to the danger zone. He too, couldn\'t help but activate their party skill - \'Gloryheal\'!
Though the damage dealt by the frost daggers was astounding, the speed slowing effects were dispelled by Reef\'s scorching sun shield.
Following that, everyone finally realized that not only was Reef attempting to rescue Sheyan, he similarly traversed through the distance between Drizzt and him. Hence, he was now within the effective range to affect his enemy!
Instantaneously, Reef released a raging roar to the heavens - \'Shattering Cardiac Roar\'!
A shockwave viciously swept all in all direction. In this instance, Drizzt\'s expression sank as he tried his best to leap backwards. Yet sadly, his movement speed had already substantially plunged down.
Even lifting his leg became excruciatingly tough for Drizzt. Fear crept into his eyes as he observed the murderous looking Sheyan, hauling along his blood dripping \'+7 West\' saber as he pressed in!
Suddenly, he howled furiously! The frosty mist lingering around his hands suddenly folded together, and froze into a massive ice ball, before ferociously smashing it onto the floor.
Such a conduct appeared rather foolish, but with Drizzt as the centre, a square area of several hundred metres transformed into a spongy snowland. The snowland was even churning around Drizzt.
Sheyan\'s single step instantly sank calf deep, as he received a notification of his movement speed immensely declining!
This was Drizzt\'s answer - If I can\'t speed up, then I can only slow you down!
This ability was pretty identical to Prince Stalo\'s one. However, Prince Stalo\'s halo ability was a complete body of impairing enemy\'s mobility and subsequently devastating them. Moreover, Drizzt could only create a snowland that could only impede one\'s movement speed. One could simply observe the disparity in might between the two.
Thus, though Drizzt\'s speed had crazily declined due to Reef\'s \'Shattering Cardiac Roar\', Sheyan couldn\'t chase up to him as well.
Although there was only 4-5 metres between them, to Sheyan who lacked long range combat methods, those 4-5 metres was like an impassable moat!
Drizzt was an individual with plenty of combat experience as well. He immediately seized this golden opportunity. Calculating in his mind, he needed 1.5 seconds to release another rhombus frost dagger, while Sheyan similarly required around 1.5 seconds to enclose onto him. This meant that if he endured a single blade, he could deliver one last rhombus frost dagger!
Tanking another blade wouldn\'t be a problem, but for this mad dog chasing him, not only would he be impaled by the dagger, he would also turn frozen! Such an exchange of blows was naturally profitable.
On the contrary, Sheyan\'s lips curled up with callous ridicule.
"It has been 54 seconds since a symptom occurred. This will be the 59th second, and this time, the chances of a symptom flare is 97.11%! More crucially, it has been a total of five minutes since the first person sneezed. This signifies the second tier of virus, is about to flare up gloriously in your body!!"
"Cough cough cough cough cough!!!" A series of coughs successfully became the footnote of Sheyan\'s calculations.
Drizzt couldn\'t resist as he bent and began coughing violently. The sounds of his cough were exceedingly sharp, as though his lungs was being kneaded and ripped apart. As for the rhombus frost dagger he was about to release, it bluntly dispersed as mist……
Of course, Sheyan wouldn\'t remain courteous. He directly detoured around Drizzt before raising his \'+7 West\' saber, and ruthlessly chopped down.
Amidst coughs and bitter groans, Sheyan casually added a kick to Drizzt\'s buttocks; kicking him flying forward, where he coincidentally landed in front of Reef.
Without hesitation, Reef activated his boot\'s ability - \'Trampling Hooves\'. Bam! Bam! Bam! Drizzt was viciously ravaged by stomps on the ground.
********************
………10 minutes later.
Dang! A completely distorted figure was flung out from a grocery shop. The figure landed onto the uneven door of a BMW730 series car. Blood splattered in all directions. One could observe that this figure was a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter.
Yet right now, a terrifying concavity was laid bare on his chest. Evidently, his ribs had been utterly crushed.
Although he sustained such mortal wounds, this Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter felt no pain. He crawled along the ground with his distorted body and bloodshot eyes. Probably, the adrenaline dosage was still circulating through his body,
While crawling back into the shop, he finally exhausted his last sliver of vitality and perished after several convulsions. A puddle of shocking blood trail was left in his wake!
Sheyan sauntered out of the shop with large strides. His body was smeared with blood, some dried and some new. A glaring wound could be seen on his face, with curling flesh dangling around. It ran all the way done his right cheekbone, causing him to appear additionally horrifying. Nevertheless, his eyes remained deep and abstruse.
Sheyan casually grabbed a bottle of vodka from a nearby fallen shelf, before gulping down mouthfuls of it.
The sunset was now a mere reddish ember across the horizon, dragging out a long shadow from Sheyan\'s herculean build.
"Hmm?" Sheyan noticed a glow at the corner of his eyes. This glow was sharp and swift, like the sudden resurgence of sunlight. He covered his eyes as he groaned while stumbling a step back.
On Sheyan\'s right wrist, was shockingly impaled by a frosted flying knife. His flying knife not only penetrated through his \'Deformed Thickshell\' gloves, it stabbed deep into his flesh. The knife blade and gloves were all soaked in dark reddish blood, before quickly freezing into ruby ice.
"Reef……defeated eh? But, the strength he demonstrated was probably unprecedented eh. Moreover, Drizzt, don\'t you feel regretful that even though you struck him into near-death state, you can\'t finish him off correct?"
Sheyan\'s lips curled into a cold smirk. As the glow flashed in, the vigilant Sheyan nimbly rolled to the side. Although he knocked against a glass door and shattered everything, he managed to dodge the incoming thrust of the second flying knife. While rolling, Sheyan also pulled out the frost flying knife that was lodged in his wrist.
Like a phantom, Drizzt reappeared from a distant shrub. Then, he abruptly bent over, where a series of heart rendering cough overcame him; accompanied by tears and dripping mucus. One could even notice a trickle of blood at the corner of his lips.
This was indeed the only damaging property supplemented with Sheyan\'s virus abilities - \'Hemoptysis\' - after every three flares up of \'Violent Coughing\', the next fit of violent cough will induce a 150 blood loss damage spreaded over a 15 seconds duration.
Previously, when the virus outbreak flared out fully, Sheyan and Reef started pressuring Drizzt with the help of Sheyan\'s dreadful negative virus effects. They relentlessly pursued him, forcing Drizzt\'s four subordinates to reinforce him sacrificially. At times, they even employed their own bodies to block the enemy\'s assault.
Logically speaking, this was going to be an extremely long and bitter fight. Yet after Sheyan had dispatched Ben Johnson, two other Reserve-duty Growth-Hunters actually fled in panic!
Firstly, this was because they had been tormented to the brink of insanity by the pesky virus symptoms. Secondly, although they knew that fighting on still provided a possibility of winning, but, but! The price of winning meant they would inevitably be sacrificed as cannon fodder! !
What use would such a glorious triumph be to them? What more, Drizzt normally treated them harshly as well…hence, the outcome was that only the last remaining loyal Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter persisted in this desperate fight.
When that happened, Drizzt mounted a crazed retaliation. Nevertheless, Reef continued persistently tying him down and resisting his assaults. The two were like wounded wild beasts clashing.
As they fought, Drizzt purposely dragged the battle further while harboring ill intent. To him, he believed that as long as he could slay Reef, his merits would be undeniable and well worth sacrificing his entire group. Sadly, Reef possessed \'Life-link\' to preserve his life, thereby causing Drizzt\'s spirit to completely crumble!
All the way till now. Those two remaining frost flying knives were Drizzt\'s final offense, because his energy had long been drained from the pesky virus and the pesky Reef.
Thus, Sheyan finally trudged forward and announced.
"I\'ll permit you to die as you deem fit, you have 30 seconds to reply."
However, Drizzt\'s only reply was to glare at Sheyan with reddened eyes before pouncing forward!
Sheyan grimly lifted his saber. He believed that if Drizzt had been the victor of this battle, he would absolutely not show mercy either!
***************
A minute and ten seconds later. More accurately speaking, after receiving news of Drizzt\'s demise. Trista, who was still duelling with Mogensha, wisely chose to depart.
Besides, the opponent before her was as slippery as a little rat. Though her battle powers were clearly amplified ten folds of his, this caused a huge disequilibrium in her other attributes as compared to Mogensha. Hence, neither could triumph over each other!
