Chapter 243-2: Etherbreath World, Calamity Rampant (2) |
“How is this possible?”
Not far away, a Etherbreath warrior retreated in terror.
Its eyes were full of fear, and a powerlessness it had never felt before rose in its heart.
The player in Roar form, however, curled his lips. Ice-blue eyes swept over the nearby Etherbreath warriors as small as ants, and his chest swelled again.
Roar.
An ear-splitting bellow burst from his mouth, the sound exploding through the air like thunder.
The sound waves mixed with raging air currents to form a visible shockwave.
Where it passed, the ground tore open, buildings flipped, and bio materials shattered and whirled.
The clustered Etherbreath warriors in the distance did not even have time to react. Their bodies were instantly disintegrated within the shockwave and dissipated into the air.
After the easy instant kills, the player in Roar form continued shouting in the regional channel.
“Monster build players looking for a team. Only teams of monster build players.”
With that, the giant bear looked toward his fellow townsman, the Black-Scaled Serpent, not far away.
At this time the fellow townsman was winding up a towering giant tower, head lifted high, overlooking the city below.
Cold light flickered in his scarlet eyes, like a king examining his own domain.
With a light sweep of the tail, swathes of nearby buildings collapsed. The Etherbreath warriors’ resistance looked laughable in front of him.
Seeing the name above the other’s head, the player in Roar form sent a private message.
“Bro, want to team up?”
“Team up my foot. Your roaring is too loud. It is blasting my ears. I am leaving. This place is yours.”
With that, the Black-Scaled Serpent player sprang and shot out, lunging into the distance. His body stretched straight in mid air and crashed down like a wall.
Boom.
A row of buildings was crushed to rubble when the Black-Scaled Serpent player hit the ground.
Watching the receding back of his fellow townsman, the player in Roar form looked aggrieved.
“Who does Roar without roaring. So unreasonable.”
After the invasion war ignited, more and more monster build players made their entrances in the city.
Black-Scaled Serpent form, Roaring Bear form, Inkflame Skeleton form, Mud Fiend form. The monster army descending from the sky rampaged through every corner of the city.
The war also seemed to have become the home field of the monster build players.
The figures of other players looked exceedingly small beside the monster build players.
Yet in terms of combat power, these smaller figures were the absolute main force.
In one corner of the city, crimson airflow burned in the air like a flame, bathing the surrounding buildings in a red glow.
A melee player stood in the center of the street, his whole body shrouded in raging crimson airflow, eyes fixed ahead.
Hundreds of Etherbreath warriors stood in strict formation, and in their eyes there was an undisguisable trace of tension and fear.
The melee player wasted no words and charged without hesitation.
The crimson airflow enveloping him instantly grew even more violent. His body was like a tank with the accelerator floored, slamming straight into the Etherbreath formation ahead.
The ground trembled with his steps.
In the eyes of the Etherbreath warriors, the onrushing player was like a crimson bolt of lightning. Before they could react, a massive fist had already filled their vision.
The fist smashed out. The crimson airflow instantly condensed into a raging vitality energy wave, surging toward the Etherbreath line like a crimson dragon.
Boom.
Where the vitality shockwave swept past the Etherbreath warriors, their bio armor shattered in an instant and their bodies were pulverized by the massive impact.
The crimson airflow continued to rampage forward, ripping apart the buildings on both sides and raising a billowing plume of dust along the street.
Boom.
A second punch followed right behind and crashed forward.
Dozens of Etherbreath warriors died in an instant. The Etherbreath warriors behind them were shaken by the force until they coughed blood, their internal organs torn apart.
“Hahaha, this is way too weak.”
The melee player could not help but laugh, his voice filled with delight.
His fist swung out again. The crimson airflow formed a massive fist shadow in the air and smashed hard into the Etherbreath formation.
Boom!
The fist shadow fell, and the ground shattered in an instant, cracks spreading like a spiderweb.
The defensive line formed by the Etherbreath warriors collapsed completely under the fist shadow. The bodies of large numbers of Etherbreath warriors were torn apart by Vital Qi, and fragments of flesh and bio armor flew through the air.
The crimson airflow continued to rage, dyeing everything around it blood red.
Facing this melee player, the hearts of the Etherbreath warriors were gradually filled with fear.
The bodies they took pride in, so strong and tough, were as fragile as paper before this terrifying invader.
Defense had lost its meaning.
In their eyes, every punch of the evil invader was like the scythe in the hand of Death, able to harvest their lives with ease.
Just then, a Etherbreath warrior hiding in building rubble suddenly leaped up.
With a look of grim resolve, it raised its claw blade high. The sharp tip traced a cold gleam through the air, hacking down hard at the melee player’s neck from behind.
This strike gathered all its strength, sworn to lop off the player’s head.
But before the claw blade could touch the player’s skin, it was blocked by a layer of crimson airflow.
The airflow was as solid as substance, and the claw blade could not advance another fraction.
The Etherbreath warrior let out a strained roar, its bio armor groaning under the burden of overexertion.
Its claw blade pressed hard against the crimson airflow, trying to tear it apart.
But no matter how hard it exerted itself, the crimson airflow did not budge in the slightest, like an unbridgeable chasm.
At this moment, the melee player turned his head to the side and glanced at the Etherbreath warrior who had launched the sneak attack from behind.
The next second, the crimson airflow suddenly erupted, surging like a raging flood and hurling the Etherbreath warrior away.
Its body traced an arc in mid air and slammed heavily into the ground dozens of meters away, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The Etherbreath warrior struggled to its feet and looked down at its claw blade.
The formerly sharp tip had splintered. Its arm trembled violently from the backlash. The surface of its bio armor was already covered with fine cracks, and its energy lines were dim and lusterless.
“Impossible…” it murmured, its voice filled with undisguisable terror.
At this moment, the melee player’s figure was reflected in its eyes. The crimson airflow burned over his body like flames, as if he were an invincible god of slaughter.
This was a massacre, not a war.
All the resistance they had mustered with all their might looked laughable before this figure.
Despair welled up in the Etherbreath warrior’s heart. Its body trembled slightly with fear, and the strength within it seemed to be sucked away in an instant.
Not far away, the melee player slowly turned around. The crimson airflow churned around him like a ferocious beast ready to pounce.
Staring straight at the Etherbreath warrior who had tried to ambush him, the melee player’s lips curled into a cruel smile:
“I hate sneak attacks the most. End of the line for this life. Be more careful in the next.”
His heavy fist swung out suddenly. The crimson airflow condensed in the air into a raging vitality energy wave that instantly swallowed the Etherbreath warrior.
The Etherbreath warrior’s body disintegrated within the energy wave. Flesh and bio armor turned to dust and scattered on the wind.
With the fight over, the melee player came to a halt, and a Bloodthirst Brand rose above his head.
At once vitality rose from the ground and converged toward him.
As his health bar recovered, the melee player felt insanely awesome.
“Fishing is so much fun.”
Just then, a massive figure appeared ahead.
A huge green lizard advanced in a frenzy, and whole stretches of buildings collapsed along its path. On the lizard’s head stood the silhouette of a player, arms crossed over his chest, standing proudly.
As they passed by, the player on the lizard’s head turned his head to glance at him from afar, then shifted his gaze forward again.
“Holy crap, a monster build mount. Bro, that is awesome.”
Seeing that the passing fellow townsman was actually riding a lizard in the Rend Inherited Soul form, the melee player could not hide the envy in his eyes.
Among all the schools, players who possessed monster build mounts absolutely stood at the top of the disdain chain.
With that level of swagger, no matter how many Etherbreath warriors he killed, he could not match it.
“Bro, give me a ride?” Thinking of this, he sent a private message.
“Scram. This is my girlfriend. You think I would let you ride her?”
Melee player: …
“What is the big deal. Once my cousin gets Monster World qualification, I can have a mount too.”
Curling his lip and muttering, the melee player borrowed Vital Qi to leap into the air and continued searching for hunting targets.
