Chapter 1156: Grab it!
The moment the Ant King's body fell, more than a dozen bullets and various skills rained down on Mizu, Sven, Smoker, and Isaac.
It was a joint attack by more than a hundred contractors who had been watching the battle until now.
Although killing all of these contractors before the battle started was a good choice, it was impossible to actually do so, as they would end up teaming up, making it very difficult to deal with them.
Mizu and the others had already thought of this, so not only did they not rush to the Ant King's body, but they also retreated back just in case.
— This is our only chance, go ahead and take advantage of the chaos!
— Getting started!
— We're waiting for these cretins to sort each other out first.
Shouts and chaotic footsteps filled the ruins of the palace.
Out of more than a hundred contractors, at least eighty or ninety people rushed forward. They all wanted to steal the heart, relying on their numerical advantage.
Mizu and the others decided to give up? Of course not, they wanted to wait for the bulk of the contractors to leave their hiding places and engage the other contractors so that the difference in strength wouldn't be so overwhelming.
This wasn't the first time they'd encountered something like this, so they were following a long-established strategy.
Although there were no end of screams in the ruins, almost a hundred contractors were still watching the Ant King's body intently. They all came to a tacit agreement. No one attacked the Ant King's body and, on the contrary, tried to avoid hitting his body in all possible ways.
*Boom!*
The fireball hit the ground. Just as he hit it, a previously unseen figure suddenly appeared in front of the Ant King's body.
The Assassin decided to sneak up on the Ant King's body and steal his heart.
However, the fireball caused him to retreat and come out of invisibility, and almost immediately after that, a huge number of spells flew at him.
He immediately started to activate the teleportation spell, but in the next moment, blood gushed out of his body, and the spell activation was interrupted.
Almost immediately after that strike dozens of spells rained down on him and he was torn to pieces.
A large group of contractors rushed to the Ant King's body. Before their performance, all the brave contractors were immediately watered with spells, not giving them a chance to survive, but after their performance, the pressure of spells dropped sharply, because they were the ones who watered everyone with different skills.
— Mizu, the time has come. You should be careful with the Smoker. I'll keep an eye on Byakuya and let the ice giant break through to the body, " Sven shouted, but got no response. — Mizu?" Sven shouted again, but there was no answer.
— Look over there, this... Seems a bit unrealistic.
Following the direction of her finger, Sven muttered — "What the —" Sven's eyeballs bulged, as if stunned by the scene before him.
A light blue flash shot straight at Sven.
He immediately released a stream of smoke from his shoulder and pushed himself aside with it.
The flash flew past his body and finally hit the dilapidated wall behind him.
The wall was immediately cut into pieces and began to collapse, and the flash continued to fly further, not even stopping for a second.
*Clang-clang-clang…*
Sharp sounds began to reverberate in the surroundings, and Su Xiao appeared just five meters away from the Ant King's body in the blink of an eye. He was surrounded on all sides by contractors, and these contractors all had bloodshot eyes.
Dozens of shields began to fly around Su Xiao, and he himself, holding the Dragon Flash in his hands, quickly looked around.
Su Xiao was surrounded by a large number of contractors. He couldn't take the Ant King's heart without killing the surrounding contractors.
— Where did this guy come from?
— He jumped down from the watchtower. He is the sniper who killed the Ant King.
— What nonsense, why would a sniper rush into this inferno?
— Eh~...
— No matter who he is, kill him! The Ant King's body is right in front of us! Anyone who gets in our way will die!
Due to the threat of instant execution, all the contractors could only do their best to get the Ant King's heart.
Once they get even a part of the heart, they will be saved. If they get a large piece of the heart, they will receive a solid reward that will allow them to become much stronger.
No one would be able to resist such a temptation.
In addition, most of the contractors were in groups, which made them feel more confident, but Su Xiao was a melee fighter.
— Rather!
More than twenty contractors rushed forward, rushing straight at Su Xiao. He didn't pay much attention to these contractors and waved his hand.
The shields immediately created a solid barrier around him, but most of those shields rushed towards the Ant King's body and built a protective box around it.
Right now, the maximum distance between the shields and Su Xiao was three meters, and to overcome this limitation, it was necessary to break the connection with the shields, which caused them to break down much faster.
This time, he created these shields not so much to protect himself as to protect the Ant King's heart.
As long as he killed all those contractors, the Ant King's heart would be safe.
And since all of these contractors didn't help with killing the Ant King and only decided to join the battle after the Ant King died, Su Xiao naturally wouldn't treat them politely.
Blood energy shot out from Su Xiao's body, and the two dozen contractors not far from him immediately stopped in their tracks.
— What's wrong with me? A contractor with a large two-handed sword in his hands asked.
— Get out of the way, " the main tank shouted and crashed into a frozen contractor with a two-handed sword. Although the collision wasn't very pleasant, it allowed him to move again.
But right after that, a figure appeared in front of him.
He subconsciously raised his heavy sword...
*Ding!*
Sparks fell to the ground.
[Attention! Your main weapon has been severely damaged!]
[Attention! Your main weapon has been disabled!]
He didn't even have time to pay attention to Rai's warning, because immediately after this collision, he flew to the side.
Before this clash, he had always felt confident in his own strength because his sword weighed 270 kilograms and was very heavy, however, in this skirmish, he felt as if his sword weighed nothing at all.
Not to mention blocking, the moment the two swords collided, his knees almost buckled due to the collision.
— But before he could finish, he suddenly saw that his weapon was already broken, and his opponent had sheathed his sword.
*Pouf*
The arm, along with a substantial portion of the shoulder, fell to the ground. The incredible pain almost drove him crazy, and what was most unpleasant, along with this pain, his body began to go numb.
The intense pain disappeared, and the space around him spun around for some reason.
The swordsman's head fell to the ground.
Su Xiao killed this swordsman in three strikes. He wasn't surprised by this, because it clearly didn't have true stats.
The gap between them was too huge.
Right after killing, Su Xiao dodged a bullet that flew straight into his chest. His intuition warned him about it even 0.4 seconds ago.
The few contractors around him were stunned. In just three quick strikes, their opponent had killed the swordsman. The first blow shattered his sword, the second severed his arm and shoulder, and the third severed his head.
The instinctive fear caused many melee contractors to subconsciously step back.
A slightly slow-moving main tank suddenly appeared in front of the crowd, seemingly wanting to take Su Xiao on.
Su Xiao looked at the main tank.
The large and round main tank stared at Su Xiao. "Leave it to me," he said, and took a step forward.
Unlike the melee fighters around him, he wasn't afraid of contractors with strong attacking abilities.
