Chapter 819
“Fire support!”
Lun Tai roared loudly.
Bei Tai swiftly raised his left arm, which had already transformed into a heavy artillery, and opened fire.
He did not aim it at Theodore, but Aderick behind him.
That was the most important target.
If they did not take advantage of his current inability to move, when else would they take action?
As Bei Tai opened fire, the others also took action.
Several War Pets were summoned out and they assumed the vanguard position. A bolt of lightning, as thick as a child’s arm, and a wind blade swept towards Theodore at the same time.
Several Players who were at the frontmost position pulled out their weapons and charged forward. Behind them came a wave of bullets that covered the sky.
“With just you guys?”
Theodore scoffed. Next, his figure shot into the sky at an unbelievable speed.
Beams of light, bullets and spells struck the very spot he was standing on earlier. Some even struck Aderick, who was behind him.
However, when the attacks made contact with Aderick’s body, regardless of what those attacks were, they seemingly struck a wall before dissipating away like the cloud. All they managed to do was light up and reveal a spherical-shaped barrier.
“High-grade defensive prop, very high grade!”
Lun Tai’s face turned dark.
Amongst the attacks fired at Aderick earlier, the strongest one was already at [A+] class. And yet, the barrier around Aderick did not even budge.
No questions were needed to know that this was most certainly an [S] class defensive prop.
As expected, the wealth of the resident guilds of Zero City was nothing to scoff at.
However, a defensive prop of such high grade could not possibly remain in effect forever. There must be a time limit. Perhaps, it might even be a one-time consumable.
If so, before the active period of the barrier ended, they would have to kill off this lean fellow known as Theodore first.
“Roddy, don’t hold back!”
Before Lun Tai could even finish his shout, a gigantic mech had appeared up in the sky.
It held in its hands a lance made of light.
“If you’re a small fry, then just stay down!”
Roddy shouted, the mech’s thrusters pushing the mech’s speed up in an instant to charge towards Theodore, who had jumped into the sky. The beam lance drew a fan of light in the sky, enveloping Theodore within it.
The dual blades were unsheathed.
One of them condensed out icy frost while the other burned with raging fire.
There was a sneer on Theodore’s face as the ice blade in his right hand moved to face the beam lance.
Bang!
The beam lance clearly did not possess a tangible body. And yet, the instant it made contact with the ice blade, a clashing sound rang out. It was as though two real swords had collided against one another.
Borrowing the impact from the collision, Theodore’s figure then twisted in mid-air. Next, his figure flipped and he flashed forward to appear behind the Gundam.
“You want to compete speed?”
Roddy gripped the joysticks in the cockpit and shouted. The Gundam’s thrusters swiftly adjusted their angles. Similarly, it performed a flip before charging up into the sky.
The armour plates on its shoulders slid open and two beam cannons appeared.
Mega Particle Cannons. 70% power. freewebnove(l).com
Fire!
Theodore’s face sank. His legs then kicked the air at a speed beyond anything the naked eye could see to create a shockwave in the sky.
The speed of the kick had surpassed the speed of sound. Borrowing the recoil from the shockwave, Theodore was able to evade the Gundam’s particle cannon attacks, which grazed his body as he rushed to the ground.
The two particle cannon attacks swept past Theodore to strike a small mountain behind them. The violent explosion flattened the mountain.
Roddy had wanted to open fire again when he saw Theodore rushing into a crowd of men.
“Ironwall Guardian!”
A Player shouted and summoned a heavily-armoured robot with a shield in its hands before him. The robot was made entirely of metal.
One slash.
A fiery-red beam of light flashed out and the robot, seemingly with a weight of up to several tons, was hacked from the bottom to the top. Molten iron flowed down from the severed parts.
The Player was also instantly hacked into two burning parts.
So fast!
The thought flashed through the minds of everyone there.
How could this guy be so fast?
Immediately after killing off the Player, Theodore rushed towards his next target.
This time, he attacked using his ice blade.
Even before the shattered pieces of ice could make contact with the ground, Theodore had already locked down on his third target.
Dang!
A booming sound rang out.
Theodore’s ice blade had been about to slash down on his third target when a shield suddenly stopped it.
“Hard!”
Theodore exclaimed as he borrowed the force of the impact to throw his body backwards.
This fellow’s shield. It’s also a very high-grade item!
Having stopped Theodore’s attack, Lun Tai swung the warhammer in his right hand, but it failed to make contact with even the corner of Theodore’s clothes.
I miscalculated…
Lun Tai swore to himself.
This fellow he was facing was extraordinarily fast. Not a single one of the tens of people here was able to stop him.
Just to be on the safe side, he had ordered Roddy to bring out the Gundam immediately, intending on killing off this lean fellow as soon as possible before concentrating on Aderick.
Unexpectedly, Theodore was so fast.
Lun Tai began feeling regretful. He should have brought Qimu Xi along.
Appearance wise, her speed was still slightly inferior compared to Theodore’s speed. But at the very least, they would not fall into this state of being completely incapable of keeping up with Theodore.
Theodore continued to speedily made his way through the crowd. Almost every one of his attacks would be able to reap his target’s life. All that was left was a corpse, either burned to charcoal or frozen into a popsicle.
His perception was also terribly discerning. Every target of his would be the weakest one amongst the crowd.
In just a short moment, six of them had turned into corpses.
“Enough of this!”
Tian Lie had been constantly chasing after Theodore, but he was finally incapable of enduring it.
He never did care about whether or not those pieces of trash would survive.
“Close your ears!”
After saying that through the guild channel, Tian Lie opened his mouth widely and released a deafening roar.
The intense soundwaves moved through the air and swept towards Theodore, who was still moving swiftly. Beside him were the members from several other teams.
Theodore had been in the midst of swinging the blade in his hand when he suddenly felt his whole body quake. His ears roared, the world spun and he lost his balance.
As for the few Awakened ones and Players who were beside him, clearly the weaker ones there, they sprayed out a mouthful of blood respectively before falling to the ground. There was no way to tell if they were dead or alive.
“Good!”
Seeing Theodore stagger and fall to the ground, Tian Lie laughed wildly and strode forward quickly.
However, the others were even faster.
A beam of light shot out from Nicole’s arm to strike Theodore’s left leg. It burned through his protective gear and left a burn mark.
Two blazing phoenixes dived down from the sky above to bombard Theodore’s body.
Qiao Qiao’s Anti-materialization skill was very weak against energy and magic-type attacks. Due to that, she did not use it. However, the Gauss rifle in her hand finally found its target. With a loud sound, a bullet – moving faster than the speed of sound – struck Theodore’s left shoulder. The entire shoulder blade was shattered and his left arm fell to the ground along with the shattered bits.
On the other side, following the failure of their first attack, Bei Tai and Roddy – under Lun Tai’s order – had shifted their target.
Bei Tai had transformed his left arm into a 152-mm calibre field gun, which he aimed at Aderick, firing non-stop. Roddy, on the other hand, was hovering up in the sky. He had already fired two Mega Particle Cannon attacks at Aderick.
The area around Aderick’s defensive barrier had instantly transformed into a sea of flames.
“Kill him! Then, focus on Aderick!”
Lun Tai shouted the orders loudly.
Even if it was an [S] class defensive prop, with so many of them here to slowly grind at it, they should be able to grind away the barrier’s power.
As for Theodore…
He was indeed very fast. He was also very strong. However, with so many men besieging him, there was no way for him to hold on.
Even though he had been shot a few times in quick succession, Theodore did not faint. Instead, he rolled on the ground, brought out a few Healing Beast Bloods and shoved them into his mouth. Then, he jumped up again, leaping past the next wave of fire as he rushed towards Bei Tai, who was at the very back.
I must… protect the Guild Leader!
Theodore clenched his teeth, his eyes having turned blood-red.
The modification that Aderick did to him had indeed improved his strength considerably. However, it had still failed to push him to [S] class.
As for these enemies, they were – be it their number or strength – far beyond his ability to handle.
The wounds he sustained earlier alone had caused his speed to drop somewhat.
Bei Tai turned to see Theodore rushing towards him. However, not only did he not move to evade Theodore, he instead smiled.
Air Incarceration!
When there was still a distance of 30 metres between him and the charging Theodore, Bei Tai finally used his skill.
Although the Air Incarceration skill was no longer his main skill, Bei Tai had still upgraded it once.
While it was certainly still insufficient to completely entrap Theodore, it was more than enough to temporarily slow him down.
Theodore, who had been charging forward, suddenly felt as though the space around him had frozen. His entire body became like a fly that had flown into a jelly. Instantly, his forward momentum was reduced.
He had only just raised the short blade in his right hand when a loud roar came from behind him.
A heavy hammer heavily slammed onto the back of Theodore’s head, blasting his whole body away as though it was just a feather.
That was an all-out attack by Lun Tai, who had fully activated his Muscle Fruit skill.
Theodore’s body was still hurtling through the air when a blazing sword of light descended to stab him in his lower abdomen area. Then, with a swing, it left a massive gash on him.
His body smashed onto the ground, his internal organs spilling out from the wound. His whole head was buzzing and he nearly fainted.
As expected… it’s still too much…
Theodore struggled to open his eyes and saw a blazing phoenix descend upon him while releasing a cry.
The blazing phoenix partially blocked his vision of the defensive barrier around Aderick, which was continuously enveloped by artillery fire.
“Guild… Leader…”
Theodore’s lips trembled, having accepted his death.
I’m sorry. I could not keep the promise I made to you. But, I’ve already… tried my best.
I hope the Eternal Crystal’s barrier, can last until you regain control…
Boom!
The blazing phoenix struck the ground, its eruption filling the sky with flames.
Lun Tai released a slight sigh of relief.
This fellow… his speed was practically at the point of being demonic.
Thankfully, he was able to bring so many cannon fodders with him here. If it weren’t for that, some members of his team would have died already.
Thankfully, though, the final obstacle had been dealt with.
Then… as long as they could finish off the temporarily immobilized Aderick…
The thought had only just risen up from Lun Tai’s mind when he suddenly saw the flames go out.
A black figure carried Theodore in his arms and slowly walked out from the charred ground.
“It’s been hard on you, Theodore.
“This time, none of us will die.
“After killing them off, I will bring you home.”
Despite his state, it would appear that Theodore still had a final bit of life left in him.
“Brother Lun Tai. Xiaolei… has lost.”
At the same time, Qimu Xi’s voice came through the guild channel.
