Chapter 379: Lille’s trump card
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Uzel had died, it was almost impossible for Lille to try and mount a sneak attack against Sheyan. Hence, Sheyan still had confidence in switching out to his ‘Alcohol Master’ title before Lille resurfaced. Besides, that additional explosive strike rate boost was tremendously useful.
Time drained by swiftly…….the sunset had extinguished into the misty abyss; a layer of ember red still dyed the funnel like clouds in the sky. The other half of the sky floated with an ashen color, seemingly brewing in a berserking force!
Naturally, a thunderstorm was about to descend. Sheyan breathed heavily. Even with his filtering oxygen mask, he could still sense that wild electrical discharge throbbing within the air. The fresh air travelled through his nasal cavity, into his blood; his mind rousing itself.
At this very moment, a person strolled out excruciatingly slowly from the left of the forest.
A male with his head buried down, his hands seemingly hauling something. Though his eyes could not be seen, his aura seemed to be on full display.
On the nightmare imprint of this male, was radiating a crimson glow. That glow enshrouded his entire body, speckles of it assimilating into his body. Wherever he walked, the grass withered and the earth split!
The awakened Lille trudged slowly towards Sheyan. When he finally closed the gap to 30 metres, his body blurred as he gusted like the wind towards a west tree, a hundred metres away. Even in that burst of speed, he still maintained his hauling grip over that object; his velocity was so remarkable, his body dragged along a long afterimage. In the next second, a distinctly clear sniping gunfire sonorously resounded!
Sheyan’s pupils contracted in. This gunfire was so familiar, it was shockingly the sniping gunfire of Jin Ximin! It was unknown when this fella had crept in here. Unfortunately, he had been discovered by Lille!
If that Korean had harbored kind intentions, then he undoubtedly should’ve notified Sheyan through the party channel first. Yet his silence was definitely thought provoking, naturally trying to be a third party who gains from disagreeing neighbors*, and reap benefits!
(TN: *trying to subdue both after they fought)
No matter who was the final victor, he certainly wouldn’t be in a perfectly unharmed optimal state. No doubt, there was the best opportunity to deliver a devastating lone sniping shot! As for the binding restrictions of the party……..currently Jin Ximin definitely hadn’t left the party; but since that Makaji previously had a method to instantly leave the party, why wouldn’t someone else possess a similar technique?
Instead, it was Reef and Mogensha that Sheyan was worried about. He instantly paid to incite a long distance transmission.
“Oi, Reef. How are you guys doing?”
Reef coughed and replied.
“We are good. AK seems to be fine, that Korean has no reaction but he is probably in an unconscious state. That damned flesh vines seem to have a temporary HP binding effect. But for some weird reason, a sudden dense fog decided to form around here, I’m completely unable of seeing them. Shit man, why is the HP regeneration rate so low in near death state? Seaman are you fine? If you aren’t, try and hold on. I’ll head over in a jiffy.”
Listening to the comforting news of their conditions, Sheyan sighed in relief. Then he laughed and responded.
“If nobody provides emergency treatment, to recover from near death state would require at least 40 minutes! The dust would’ve settled by then, therefore, just patiently wait for my good news.”

Jin Ximin was currently incredibly vexed. His fingernails were pinching deeply into the fleshy tree bark. The luscious moss emitting a peculiar damp odour, while a squashed fiery red beetle was presently quivering.
“I just squashed a stupid red beetle! He actually discovered my flawless camouflage disguise?”
Jin Ximin muttered to himself in disbelief.
“Curse it! If I knew it’d be like this, then why did I even utilized my one-off usage ‘A’ grade item to wrestle out from those flesh vines!”
Of course, just a slight flutter of disturbance had actually been revealed to Lille, this could only be described by the terrifying might of an awakened reserve-duty Growth-hunter.
“So what if he’s awakened?” Jin Ximin gritted his teeth in defiance. “Even the death god would tremble against my gun!”
He immediately pressed his trigger!
Boom! Gunfire resounded, the muffled rumbling echoed through the aisle of the forest, startling several birds on the way. Carrying immense kinetic energy, the bullet swerved in with unbelievable speed! Yet strangely, the speedily rushing Lille seemed to have amplified his speed as well! If not for that gorgeous melancholy string of crimson blood trailing his body, one would mistake his charging image to be an illusion.
“He actually…….forced through?” In that instance, Jin Ximin’s eyes turned sluggish, a tremendous danger welled up in his heart as he breathed in deeply; aiming once again! Then he fired! This time, he pressed down so hard, that even his fingers turned white!
Green tinted gems condensed at the sniper rifle’s muzzle; this sensation felt like it was even pulling in the surrounding air! Immediately after, a deep-green repentant ray propelled out with unfathomable velocity; its trajectory spiralling like a helix, directly piercing into Lille’s body!
But at that moment, something strange happened. Lille’s body continued charging forward, but a shocking phantom appeared behind him; exactly identical to his body! In his place, the phantom was struck so disastrously that it flew back 5-6 metres, with its body ablaze with deep-green flames as it crashed to the ground like a meteor before rolling. The raging deep-green flames even stretched towards the nearby trees and combusted them.
Within a split second, Lille had arrived in front of Jin Ximin! Jin Ximin definitely wouldn’t resign himself to extinction; berserkly yelling out as he pulled out a dagger and struck froward. At present, Lille’s hands were still empty; but after he turned around, his entire self was now stationed behind Jin Ximin’s back!
In that moment, Jin Ximin was stunned to discover for some unknown reason, his body could no longer move! An icy-cold chill was sent down his spine. Lille shouted loudly as he spun round, another phantom followed him behind as it shockingly mirrored his actions. Then a vast stretch of ocean-blue rays swept in as though engulfing heaven and earth, ruthlessly slicing across Jin Ximin’s neck!
Time seemed to have slowed down, the dagger in Jin Ximin’s hands clinking against the ground. He was now clutching his neck, his throat releasing gurgling chokes. An agonizing expression synthesizing with his disbelief gaze. Any onlooker would feel great sympathy towards such a gruesome sight. Then he crumbled to the ground, sinking into near death state!
It was actually a one-blade-KO!
Blood poured out profusely from his carotid artery, like a tragic vapor fountain; dying the suave Lille in dark red. The light in Jin Ximin’s eyes gradually dimmed, as he convulsed helplessly. Lille, stepped forward, as he lightly jabbed, mercilessly claiming the life from the horrified and unwilling Jin Ximin!
As a sniper, he definitely partnered perceptive sense and intelligence, while his agility had also reached 40 points. His former reaction couldn’t be considered slow; even in close proximity, he immediately reacted to guard his neck from that sorrowful blade ray. Yet that domineering slash still kissed his neck. Such a blade of ferocity, it was as though two blade rays had coagulated together, it even exhibited a gracefulness that of falling leaves!
“You must’ve been shocked right? I actually forsakened my twin-daggers! And changed to such a long blade?” The blood drenched Lille arrogantly exclaimed to Sheyan. He actually unequipped the rare silver storyline grade daggers after awakening, and in its place was a dark-blue long blade.
Although the luster of his long blade was dark blue, it gave one an unfathomable feeling of the deep ocean abyss. Not a single drop of blood could stain it. Yet more frightening was that dark blue rays congealed over the long blade without dispersing, loose glows scarcely escaping it and wafted into the air. This shocking long blade had been enhanced to a +7 upgrade!
With Jin Ximin’s death, a notification was transmitted to the party. Sheyan instead remained calmed, staring at the long blade in Lille’s grip and gently replied.
“When you fought me repeatedly just now, you must’ve discovered my defensive abilities are relatively valiant against high speed high frequency attacks. Thus, I originally thought after you awakened, you would try utilizing a long range weapon to complement your superior speed and that ‘Frost Boomerang’ to suppress me. I never expected you’d actually use a dual-handed weapon…….in the case, your primary attribute is without a doubt agility after you awakened; and the second attribute you chose is definitely strength, +15 strength!”
Lille’s figure blurred, he deeply inhaled as he hauled his long blade and dashed towards Sheyan. That astounding phantom continued tailing smugly behind him, before chopping down towards Sheyan’s head!
