There was only one healthy T-910 Terminator remaining now — the one tangled up with Sanzi’s Anaconda. By now, it had launched multiple high-voltage electrical shocks on the Anaconda, sending the Anaconda into spasms, and successfully escaped from the trap.
But even though it had come to help as quickly as possible, what awaited it was still the cruel sight of its companion on the verge of being destroyed.
However, at that moment, a few bricks and stones on top of the rubble moved. The gaps between the pieces of rubble started becoming bigger and bigger. It appeared that the Terminators buried in the rubble could get out any time. Seeing that, Sheyan and the rest did not hesitate to launch a fierce assault on the Terminator that managed to escape from the Anaconda.
The Terminator’s attacks were all blocked by Reef, while Sheyan joined the melee and engaged it in a scuffle to avoid the T-910 from suddenly attacking Mogensha or Zi. The party was already very familiar with this attack routine. They would only need tens of seconds, maybe just ten odd seconds, to dismantle the T-910 into a pile of scrap metal!
But right that moment, from the opposite direction of the building ruins, a sudden faint noise could be heard.
After the faint noise sounded, Mogensha suddenly issued a muffled groan. He could be seen covering his face and staggering backwards. Blood trickled down the gaps between his fingers like a red snakes. He gasped hard, executed a flesh-cutting action, then immediately crouched down and rolled to the side to take cover behind a tree.
A violent explosion occurred in front of the huge tree that was as thick as a bucket. Leaves fell like rain, and a red flame rose suddenly and violently. The powerful impact of the explosion also knocked down the tree. After the tree collapsed, it burned like a huge torch!
“Huh?” Sheyan immediately felt that something was not right. Only then did he realise that hundreds of meters away from the rubble, a rapid fire sniper rifle had been propped up on a rock! On the trigger of the sniper rifle was a distinct silver finger. At the end of the finger was not a palm, but a thick silvery-white liquid that had a texture akin to molten wax. The liquid flowed down like silk through the cracks on the ground until it reached the depth of the sewer.
The T-1000 had made its move!
(TL: The author used the pronoun “he” for the T-1000 before this, but changed it to “it” from here on. I decided to just stick with what the author used.)
That was how insane the T-1000 was!
After being blasted by the explosives planted by Party Ace, the T-1000 was immediately dissolved into liquid at high temperature. However, after that temperature slowly cooled down to a critical juncture, the T-1000 regained the control over its body. It did not change back into its conventional form. Rather, it flowed in its liquid form through the cracks in the rubble until it reached the sewer! Then, it easily squeezed to the surface from the underground sewer and successfully condensed its body back.
This method of escape was much faster than the T-910’s way of digging their way out with their arms!
Seeing that its subordinate was in danger and was about to be killed, the T-1000 could not afford to wait for its body to fully form. Instead, it simply, with a finger, pulled the trigger of a sniper rifle left behind by one of the Terminators that was standing guard outside.
The T-1000 was a powerful Terminator produced with on unconventional concepts, so every base cell of a T-1000 was manufactured to be multi-functional. A primitive cell could be transformed into a CPU cell, an olfactory cell, an inner ear vestibule cell, a miniature camera and others at any time as long as it was injected with energy. Therefore, although the T-1000 had only formed a finger, aiming accurately was not a problem for it!
When Sheyan saw that, he immediately felt that his plan was steering out of control. He narrowed his eyes and rushed towards the place where the T-1000 had appeared without any hesitation.
Because the attacks from storyline characters would not undergo a 40% weakening, the damage done by the sniper rifle would be astonishingly high. Therefore, among the members of Ace Party, Sheyan, who had the highest HP value, was the most suitable person to tank and stall the powerful sniper-wielding T-1000.
Reef’s steel claws had a very perverted ability of ignoring defense, so Sheyan was confident that the rest could deal with the half-dead T-910 by themselves.
As the liquefied body of the T-1000 kept flowing and condensing, the initial finger that was placed on the trigger of the sniper rifle had expanded to the wrist. At that time, the T-1000 discovered Sheyan who was sprinting crazily towards him. Sheyan charged with the unstoppable momentum of a frenzied bull!
The T-1000 mercilessly pulled the trigger. Accompanied by a soft click, the gunshot filtered through the muffler roared again. The smoking hot bullet shell that was as thick as a finger jumped out of the rifle, drawing a parabola in the air before falling to the ground.
At the same time, the modified joint-mounted titanium steel bullet flew out of the muzzle in a spin. The modified bullet would initially pierce into the enemy’s body, causing a penetration injury, then combust and explode in the enemy’s body, causing secondary damage!
That was what happened to Mogensha. However, he had responded very quickly. He cut the bullet out immediately after the shot and threw it away before he rolled behind a tree for cover. Even so, he was still badly damaged. For Sheyan to rush towards the sniper so directly was the embodiment of craziness and arrogance!
A jet of blood gushed out from Sheyan’s shoulder! Although he was hit, his speed did not decrease at all. On the contrary, he charged even faster!
After a loud bang, a chunk of flesh was blasted apart from Sheyan’s body. A blazing flame rose and roasted the wound with a sizzling sound. Most of Sheyan’s shoulder was torn away and covered in flames, but Sheyan seemed like he was not affected at all. The illusionary image of the ‘Stairway of the Sun’, tendrils flailing, appeared behind him. He continued to sprint forward.
Sheyan’s crazed charge gave off the impression of a stubborn madness that said “if you can’t kill me first, you’re going to die here instead!”
The T-1000’s finger locked on to the trigger that had returned to its original position, and tried to pull it again. By now, most of the arm had taken form. However, at that moment, Sheyan suddenly flashed and disappeared from the T-1000’s field of vision. When he reappeared, the distance between them had been shortened by more than 30 meters. It was the instantaneous teleportation ability on the ‘Entanglement of Victory’ ring!
The T-1000 was now within range of Sheyan’s ‘Hornrage’ ability!
The instant ‘Hornrage’ was activated, the second bullet was shot out from the sniper rifle. Once again, a large mass of fire appeared on Sheyan’s body. His flesh was once again torn into pieces, showing the bones inside. A smell of burnt flesh filled the air.
But Sheyan had also successfully crashed into the Terminator!
When Sheyan reached the T-1000, the Terminator had only formed his body up to his shoulder. Sheyan chopped down with his saber. The sniper rifle was not a shield; apart from its considerably hard barrel, the rest of the gun was no stronger than wood. So, Sheyan first hacked the sniper rifle into two, then proceeded to cut off the T-1000’s newly-formed arm.
The T-1000 reacted extremely quickly. Once the severed arm landed, it immediately dissolved again into that silvery-white liquid substance, flowing rapidly into the cracks within the ground! Sheyan followed up with a slash, but he only hit the empty ground in vain!
Sheyan took a deep breath and immediately retracted his saber. Although he had expected the T-1000 to be rather difficult to handle, the liquid metal Terminator proved to be even more dangerous in actual battle than he had imagined. He felt as if his full-force punch had landed on a pile of soft cotton; it was very disheartening.
Suddenly, Sheyan saw a metal skeleton arm that had been burned black extended upwards through the rubble. A T-910 Terminator was about to break out of the ground! His heart tightened. He immediately knew that his previous plan of “eliminating the minions first before taking on the boss alone” could not be achieved anymore.
At the same time, from a crack behind Sheyan, a mass of silvery-white liquid emerged silently and without warning. A half-kneeling humanoid figure rapidly formed from the liquid. When he stood up, his facial features and the details on his body rapidly turned vivid. He raised his right hand towards Sheyan.
This was the T-1000’s favourite ambush tactic!
Although Sheyan’s current Perceptive Sense attribute had reached an astonishing level, it was still not enough to detect the T-1000 that had no breathing, no heartbeat and made no noise when he moved. Only after Mogensha shouted a warning in the party communication channel did Sheyan abruptly turn around….
A silvery-white left arm covered in terrifying electric flow appeared in his field of vision. The arm rapidly changed into a sharp meat cleaver. The cleaver then drew an arc in the air as it hacked at Sheyan from the bottom to the top!
Although the meat cleaver formed by the left arm was still about a meter away from him, the sharp, forceful wind from its swinging motion had already reached Sheyan, making goosebumps on Sheyan’s skin.
And it seemed that the energy reserve of the T-1000 was still quite sufficient, as the weapon he formed with his hand carried high-voltage electricity. It did not take a genius to guess that once the weapon came into contact with the human body, not only would it cause heavy damage, the horrible electric shock would also cause paralysis!
