Solely seen through the way Drizzt moved and toyed with his knives in seemingly slackened fashion, it was clear he still possessed much reserves of energy. Then surely, don’t even mention Sheyan, his agility would be vastly superior to even Mogensha!
Sheyan strived his all in raging pursuit, yet every time he covered three metres, Drizzt would simultaneously retreat by four metres while facing Sheyan. Moreover, Drizzt even counter-attacked, dishing out lethal ice element damages in conjunction with slowing Sheyan’s movement speed.
More crucially, if his opponent managed to catch up, Drizzt still held at least three different methods to escape the grip of his foe and pull open the distance again. Hence, he had utmost confidence and displayed an imposing arrogance! In truth, would any Growth-Hunter placed in leadership appointments be of undeserved reputation?
Out of the blue, the dry, distinct rumblings of an AK resounded from afar.
DA DA DA DA DA! Two bullets directly struck against the sheltering cover of the opponent sniper, and combusted into a blazing mini explosion, as flames disrupted his opponent’s vision. Instead, three other bullets whistled towards Sheyan’s direction.
In this instant, Mogensha, who was trying his utmost to tie down that redoubtable Growth-Hunter sniper, unexpectedly decided to poke his nose into another battle!
Ah! This was his innate ability - ‘Beastly Instincts’!
In the most unexpected of moments, unthinkable trajectories of assaults. Right at this moment, while Drizzt’s gang was ganging up and thrashing Sheyan, a twist happened. Now, the trio were seemingly ganging up on Drizzt as well!!!
Mogensha’s first bullet shattered the entire glass ceiling of the pathway Drizzt was retreating through. Glass shards rained down in all directions, blocking off Drizzt’s line of sight. Furthermore, several larger glass shards reflecting remnant glaring rays of the sunset, overwhelming Drizzt with dazzled vision. Yet on the contrary, Drizzt increased his backward moving speed.
Within that same second, Mogensha’s second bullet blasted through the foundations of a high up, rusty rainshed that was further ahead. The rainshed crashed down, with its sharp metallic pointed tips drilling into the ground. Resembling that of an ancient chevaux-de-frise barrier, its other side of rusty tips awaited the back of the retreating Drizzt!
To Sheyan and Reef, being poked by a rainshed wouldn’t be a big deal. Yet for Drizzt who chose to specialize in agility and intelligence, his defence and vitality was undoubtedly his shortcoming. The faster he chose to retreat, the greater the collision damage would scale. Most importantly, regardless of how Drizzt chose to react, his moonwalk’s movement speed would plunge significantly!
Finally, Mogensha’s final bullet glazed past a flower terrace before ricocheting, and struck precisely beneath Sheyan’s foot. An explosion erupted instantaneously, providing a boost of force that propelled Sheyan forward.
Mogensha’s three bullets managed to hamper his foe, disrupt his vision and even provide assistance to his ally. One could only describe this move as the epitome of marksmanship.
Of course, the price he paid was being sniped down by Trista in the next moment!
The formidability of a Growth-Hunter was absolutely not something that Mogensha could rival head on! He could merely contest a little, and this single snipe immediately disciplined him on the consequences of multitasking.
Yet although he was directly sniped into a near-death state, he had already calculated this, and while activating his ‘Beastly Instincts’, he similarly activated ‘Gloryheal’ - restoring 50% of his HP within 12 seconds. Hence, four seconds later, he was out of near-death state.
Seizing the chance of the sniper’s cooldown, he hastily darted for cover.
With the sudden difference of movement speed, Drizzt finally got caught in Sheyan’s ‘Horn-Rage’ range. A blinding twinkle flashed from his ring, as Sheyan buried his head forward like a raging bull. With astoundingly immeasurable speed, he stampeded towards Drizzt.
Yet in this moment, Drizzt’s expression was incomparably queer. It was actually brimming with……ridicule?
Sheyan monstrously knocked into Drizzt. A clear mirage of a sturmbeest appeared behind yet. Logically speaking, Drizzt should’ve been stunned right now. Instead, a dull golden brilliance jolted up his skin tight pants. Then, it was as though an enormous boa constrictor had slithered up and coiled around his body.
As his supposedly stunned effect was dispelled, he even strangely slid up in midair and deftly propelled backwards like a snake escaping from Sheyan’s grip. He was on the verge of escaping once again.
Drizzt actually possessed a dark-gold grade equipment!!
But at this moment, Sheyan was well prepared for any mishaps. He had pulled out ‘Ambition’ beforehand, before pointing its black barrel and fired off at Drizzt! ‘Rum & Songs’ activated! Sheyan wasn’t counting on its damage now, but instead, the two seconds stunning effect!
Distance, distance!
In Drizzt’s perspective, distance meant either victory, or death!
Yet as the bullet pierced Drizzt, a scale of goldish brilliance enshrouded him, as he was struck flying backwards like a weightless leaf! Although the bullet managed to stun him, the colliding force of the bullet had seemingly sent him floating backwards with shocking speed……!
Sheyan had to waste the entire two seconds stun duration to chase up to Drizzt.
Upon landing back onto the ground, Drizzt’s lips curled into a clown like, malevolent sneer. He half knelt and pointed his finger at Sheyan, before issuing a provokingly contemptuous hookin gesture! It was like sheetting on Sheyan, his finger hooking gesture was exceedingly humiliating.
Following that, a frost dagger materialized in his hand, with thin icy fumes dispersing out…yet in this very instance, Drizzt’s body ridiculously shivered under the warm glow of the sunset!!
An unfathomably cold shiver permeated through his bones and out, causing his whole body to turn limp, and his legs jelly. Suddenly, raising his leg became a chore. All his confidence then vanished into oblivion.
The symptom of Sheyan’s virus, ‘Shivers’, just had to take occur at this exact moment.
Observing the sneering Sheyan swiftly closing in, Drizzt’s first reaction was naturally to pull open the gap. Yet, the aftermath of the horrendous shiver still lingered through his bones, his body was utterly limp and devoid of energy! His movement speed had crazily dipped.
Finally, Drizzt realized the abnormality of his body!
Meanwhile, though the four other Reserve-duty Growth-Hunters were frantically trying to chase up, their mobility had been completely impeded by Reef’s ‘Shattering Cardiac Roar’!
A Drizzt at full speed could definitely leave Sheyan eating his dust. Yet with his speed lowered by 50%, he could only watch on helplessly as Sheyan closed in the distance!
At present, Drizzt very decisively consumed a medicine that could expel negative buffs on his body. Yet, he instantly realized it was futile!
This other honorary medicine he had wasted 3 achievement points on, was actually useless!!
Drizzt immediately realized that the negative buff cast by the enemy on himself, held a higher precedence than even honorary dosages! An unbelievable panic and horror welled up in his heart subconsciously.
"Could it be, this is the enemy’s true ace?"
As horror filled Drizzt’s eyes, Sheyan had very bluntly tossed a flask of curse-mix over!
This flask of ‘Stinkbug’ gene-mix could deliver a 1.5 second stun and additional 30% movement speed decline effect. After the effects of ‘Shivers’ dissipated, he was once again covered under the shadows of Sheyan’s curse-mix.
Finally, Sheyan caught up to Drizzt. Just when Drizzt had escaped the range of the poison fog, a vicious saber slashed against his back! Drizzt released a melancholic scream, as blood gushed out his back. He suddenly felt a bottomless threat, a searing agony of utmost terror!
This single slash, actually delivered five different types of damages! Such a deadly weapon could even appear on one that wasn’t even a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter. How did he acquire such a heaven-defying weapon, how did his basic attributes even reached such lofty heights?
This was one of the rare times, Drizzt felt the situation was rapidly going out of control! Just like the first time he battled Zeus in the past……from excitement, to horror to despair……likewise for now, it only took mere seconds as well.
Even after being slashed, Drizzt swiftly pulled open the distance between his foe. Nevertheless, Sheyan buried his head forward and pursued relentlessly.
Drizzt’s eyes had turned crimson, as fury flooded his heart. Twin frost daggers materialized in his misty hands, before jetting towards the enemy with matchless speed!
"COME!!! Do you think the honorable Drizzt will simply run? Moronic fool, you will surely die by my hands!"
Twin rhombus frost daggers intercrossed, and was on the verge of thrusting into Sheyan’s flesh. Without a doubt, due to the humongous disparity between Sheyan and Growth-Hunters, suppression of a full realm above himself, once the twin frost daggers successfully hits, he would be inevitably frozen into an ice sculpture.
But at this very moment, a masculine figure blazed in from behind with unrivalled velocity! A figure brimming with impenetrable grandeur!
Indeed, Reef once again activated his powerful rescuing ability - ‘Courage’! In a flash, he arrived before Sheyan! His body became the most resolute shield of his comrade!
