Chapter 715: The one caught in the middle…….
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Presented with her main mission, Sheyan massaged his temples while contemplating. Then, he lifted his head and inquired.
"So, there should be some hints for your mission eh?"
Zi sat down in a meditative position on a cushion. She shut her eyes, and created her rhombus mana crystals that revolved around her. Concurrently, she unenthusiastically explained.
"Currently, my mission has advanced to the middle stages. I need to track down the inheritor of the Chedeliarchos Financial Group, Chedeliarchos Skoa. He knows about the amber, and according to certain intelligence, the grain of amber has fallen into the hands of that tremendous multinational financial group."
"The defenses of this financial groups is extremely frightening, and vastly surpasses our imaginations. If by the conventional way, only a party of Awakeners is capable of contending against them."
When Sheyan heard the two key words, 'financial group' and 'inheritor', a peculiar feeling welled up in his heart.
"Do do you know the outward appearance of this Chedeliarchos Skoa? Perhaps certain rough features?"
Zi shot an astonished look at him and answered.
"Of course, the boy's only nineteen, blonde hair...."
Sheyan then interrupted without a shred of cordiality. He very rudely continued her statement.
"...he is approximately 175 centimetres tall, likes to wear Davide Cenci shirts, wears a Patek Philippe watch, has diamond studs as earrings, and adorns an incredibly rare ruby ring."
Amazed, Zi asked.
"How did you know that? Could it be you've seen that man?"
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders. Instead, Mogensha sighed and answered.
"Roughly 16 hours ago, we came across his corpse...before you divulged about the significance of this unlucky child, we had always been naively thinking; the greatest benefit gained from him is a document about Tyrannosaurus."
"Now there's massive trouble." Sheyan sighed. "Zi, what's the punishment for main mission failure?"
Zi vacantly replied.
"A penalty of 50,000 utility points and the decrease of all attributes by 20%."
Sheyan then issued a distinct sigh of relief.
"That's fine, at least it isn't being expunged."
Zi curiously inquired.
"What do you mean?"
Sheyan replied.
"According to my understanding, there's another strange party that has entered this world; killing their members would earn us achievement points. That party known as the Skull Party, is similarly pursuing…...clues about this Mister Chedeliarchos Skoa. Man, his name is truly hard to pronounce. So therefore, Zi, your mission is a competition!"
"This mission will most probably result in a bumper harvest, especially in terms of achievement points, however.....I reckon you best mentally prepare yourself to face the penalty of 50,000 utility points and the decrease of 20% of all attributes!"
Zi's gaze darkened, feeling as though she was experiencing the worst headache of her life.
"Seaman?!!! Is this how you are going to treat Demondream's entrustment?!"
Sheyan spoke without a hint of guilt.
"Zi, you need to consider in my perspective. We've already incurred the wrath of a ruthless tiger like the Glory Party. Yet upon just entering this world, we very unfortunately killed off members of the Skull Party. Furthermore, I reckon two of them even possessed pretty substantial status in their party. This goes to say….there's a possibility of being caught in a pincer attack from both sides! Being a third party is already such a nerve wracking affair, and even worst, is to be the one caught in the middle...."
Zi widened her mouth in rejection, but ultimately kept silent. The usually emphatic Zi when facing the trio, felt like she was caught in a quagmire; a sullen sensation of having both limbs tied up.
All of a sudden, a sonorous sound erupted from the far distance!
The senses of the four contestants simultaneously jolted! They quickly rushed out of the tent. Zi was still rather confused, but the trio were exceedingly clear. The source of that sonorous sound, was shockingly that motel they were in the previous night!
Actually, this was the monitoring ploy that Sheyan had arranged even before leaving. To prevent the naked eye from attracting the notifications of certain exceptionally high perceptive sense individuals, Sheyan had installed five surveillance cameras nearby the area, thus channeling a delayed video playback at their area.
This was a method Sheyan had investigated with his military authority. It was definitely the optimal concealment method to spectate distant battles. With this method, the chances of being discovered would be lowered by 25%.
A screen was displayed. Several individuals were presently locked in intense combat with a pack of mutated Deinonychus.
Honestly speaking, when viewing those incomparably savage mutated Deinonychus, Reef couldn't help but stroke his body. The feeling of those ravenous razor claws scraping away crazily at his body, ripping out flesh and blood, was truly a mentally crumbling process.
As Zi observed the battle and those odd looking Deinonychus, she couldn't help but intriguingly ask.
"Are those Shadowdrill Deinonychus?"
The trio unanimously casted puzzled expressions to her. After pondering slightly, she replied.
"The dawn of the dinosaur catastrophe was extremely abrupt and violent. At the initial stages, it spread with astounding pace, leading to destruction and leakage at three nuclear power plants. During this process, some of the dinosaurs perished while others survived."
"Mutations plagued the ones that survived, causing them to transform with greater ferocity and brutality. The Shadowdrill Deinonychus is one of those mutated dinosaurs. When they attack, their claws resemble black drills; thrusting with terrifying true damages....most critically, they present a tiny drop rate of damage type weapons, forging materials, precious gems and so on. I don't have to elaborate much on the value of those objects right. Even a dark blue grade of those rare drops, may not be inferior to dark gold grade!"
Sheyan paused for a short while. His eyes sparkled as he spoke.
"Thus, you're implying that those contestants definitely aren't willing to abandon this place?"
"Yes." Zi icily answered. "But I know you won't seize this opportunity to act. Because with the existence of those Shadowdrill Deinonychus and those individuals, your current prowess definitely isn't sufficient."
Sheyan chose to remain silent, but focused his attention onto a single individual on screen.
This was a robust and muscular male, whose muscles appeared to be bursting out of his armour.
That male wielded a warhammer as his weapon and was coated in full maroon. Still, it radiated with metallic texture and appeared extremely domineering. Dense patterns were carved along the surface of the warhammer, as though it was a mystery originating from primitive chaos eras. The hammer head and body of this warhammer was completely forged in metal, and one could simply imagine its weight to be approaching half a ton.
Evidently, it one wasn't a Growth-Hunter, it would be exceedingly hard to utilize this weapon.
"What is that weapon he's using?" Sheyan abruptly blurted out. "Why is it maroon colored?"
Zi casted a glance at Sheyan and indifferently answered.
"That's a Blood Weapon."
Sheyan then noticed Zi smirking, before courteously inquiring.
"Then, what's a Blood Weapon?"
In this instance, Zi felt as though she had fallen onto a spiderweb; a sensation incapable of absolving.
She clearly loathed this Seaman guy, and didn't wish to converse with him. Yet this brat was like a sticky candy attaching himself to her. She didn't even have the mood to flare up but only replied in annoyance.
"A Blood Weapon is a weapon that can be exchanged only when a contestant reaches a certain military rank. Also, spending a massive load of utility points and potential points is also needed. Of course, and mainly achievement points. When dealing with storyline characters, this weapon can only be counted as a silver storyline grade, but a dark-gold grade when dealing with contestants! Because, many of the properties imbued in a Blood Weapon, is targeted towards contestants; being only effective in a PVP scenario with contestants."
"So that fellow must definitely be favoured by Zeus eh? He is definitely an expert in dealing with contestants, prompting Zeus to assist him in acquiring a Blood Weapon." Sheyan mused to himself.
By now, Zi had subconsciously classified Sheyan as helpless and directly continued.
"His name is Tolui Helenite, a confidante of Zeus."
Sheyan seriously observed Tolui in action.
A Shadowdrill Deinonychus pounced towards Tolui, cleaving open a blood dripping wound across his arm. Instead, Tolui immediately swung his warhammer horizontally.
PA! He directly smashed the Shadowdrill Deinonychus flying with blood spurting, as it knocked and bounced off a wall behind.
As for Tolui Helenite, he didn't raise his warhammer up. Instead, after his warhammer swept through, his utilized its position to thrust forward with the sharp rear spike of the warhammer!
This thrust landed straight onto the Shadowdrill Deinonychus' head. After being smashed by the warhammer, this mutated Deinonychus was already like a caved in pulp. With the addition of a powerful and venomous warhammer rear spike, it screeched in anguish before internal organs came spilling out.
Concurrently, Tolui Helenite had started spinning!
He continued holding onto that semi-ton steel alloy warhammer! He spun with an agile and graceful demeanor, while simultaneously carrying a strong pressurizing oppression. The winds churned out by the swerving warhammer released a suffocating sensation to all!
As the whirling winds raged on, chill, silent and oppressive deadly firmness emerged!!!
Soon, the unlucky Shadowdrill Deinonychus was hammered flying.
After a good long while, a landing 'thump' echoed in from afar without a single groan or agonizing roar. Only, a mushy bag could be seen. While it was previously struck flying, it collided into two other comrades.
After unceasingly unleashing such violent hammering assaults, Tolui Helenite had swiftly obliterated the poor dinosaur!
