Inside the head of the Buffalo Criminal Boss, there existed a crystal that was formed after eating Kurut minerals for a long time. When combined with both aneurysms on the monster’s shoulders, the crystal had the extraordinary ability to quickly increase and change the direction of gravity.
That was the theory behind the Buffalo Criminal Boss’ terrifying power!
‘Gravity Spiral’!
It could trap all nearby enemies in an area in front of itself with the power of gravity, then accumulate the strength of its entire body to give the enemies a heavy blow!
Such moments were when the MT was most tested, and when encountering such powerful creatures, it was also the time when a team faced its toughest test.
Remember when the Metal Professor tried to replace MTs with summoned creatures? If her party were the one in this predicament, they would definitely be completely annihilated!
At such times, whether the MT was strong enough would determine the life and death of the whole team!
Zeus could use his Awakener Skill to reverse gravity in this situation. Although it might not cancel out the Buffalo Criminal Boss’ ‘Gravity Spiral’ completely, it would surely have no problem interfering with the landing point of ‘Gravity Spiral’. This way, the team would not be completely under the mercy of the enemy like a meal that was spoon-fed to the enemy’s mouth!
If Skull was here, he could instantly devour a piece of equipment of silver storyline grade or above to create strong steel shields for all his teammates. The shields would absorb most of the damage so that the remaining damage would only cause minor injuries to his party members. The team would be saved.
If Hedi Curry was here, he could transform for three seconds. The additional HP during his transformed state would allow him to forcefully take the hit.
If Azsa was here, she could instantly activate the ‘Ocean Link’ ability. This ability would link all of them up, and during the duration of the link, everyone’s defence would soar to a value equal to the sum of the defence of everyone in the link.
But Sheyan was not an Awakener!
He did not have an Awakener Skill yet… But that did not mean Sheyan had no other way to solve this problem. When he was pulled towards the Buffalo Criminal Boss, he had booted the ‘Planetary-Grade High-Energy Mechanical Power Gloves’ to their maximum power. The gloves abruptly made a loud noise, spewing black smoke, and they emitted a dark green light!
Sheyan could not move away, so he reversed his thinking. Since I can’t escape, you should get the hell away from my face. Therefore, before the palms of the Buffalo Criminal Boss struck down, Sheyan was already holding onto its thigh. The gloves made a harsh noise like an engine that was about to explode, and the monster was sent flying more than five meters away. The monster’s huge palms sadly slammed down on nothing but empty ground!
A strange hiss reverberated through the valley, like the sound of a red-hot stone being doused with cold water. Then, a violent explosion erupted from the spot on the ground that was hit, followed by a small landslide!
Being the person in front who was closest to the Buffalo Criminal Boss, when Sheyan was hit by the shockwave from the eruption, his HP instantly decreased by nearly 1500 points! He staggered back a few times, but he did not even take the time to wipe away the blood from his lips before he had pulled out ‘+7 West’ and rushed fiercely towards the monster. He unleashed a flurry of slashes on the aneurysms on the monster’s shoulders like a madman!
No matter how formidable the Buffalo Criminal Boss was, there must be a period of weakness after performing two successive ultimate skills. But even if everyone knew this, not many people would dare rush up to the monster to attack it because no one could tell for sure that it would not have something like a third ultimate skill hidden up its sleeve. If it did, wouldn’t getting close to it now equate to sure death?
One could treat everything in this world as a joke except for their own life.
Sheyan’s actions undoubtedly proved to the rest that even though he had just suffered a heavy blow from this powerful creature, he still had enough strength and skill left to retaliate! The rest of the team were jolted back to their senses and started attacking fiercely too.
The Buffalo Criminal Boss wailed painfully, its body spasming all over. After all, it was still a mage-type creature. After releasing two huge skills, its muscles were now twitching weakly and it was powerless to fight back.
Only after it had recovered a little did it slap Sheyan away with a cry. However, it was obvious from that strike that the creature was just an arrow at the end of its flight. The attack caused less than five hundred points of damage to Sheyan.
What was more surprising was that after Sheyan was sent flying with the slap, he continued to pounce on the creature with his eyes red and frenzied, just like a mad dog.
The other contestants were quite shocked to see this. Based on their experience, MTs were usually more steady and seldom took the initiative to attack. Rarely were they as thirsty for blood as Sheyan was. But it could not be denied that Sheyan’s bold action gave the Buffalo Criminal Boss tremendous pressure, so that it had no attention to spare for anyone except him. It indirectly kept the others safer.
The Buffalo Criminal Boss screamed again as Sheyan’s saber pierced deep into the aneurysm on its left shoulder. A putrid mixture of pus and blood gushed out, filling the air with a nauseating stench.
But Sheyan also took a knee from the Buffalo Criminal Boss and was sent flying again. Blood rained down as he streaked like a meteor across the air into the long grass on the hillside. There was no sound nor movement from him after that. A lightning bolt immediately struck the heavily-injured left aneurysm, becoming the last straw to crush the camel’s back. The aneurysm finally erupted.
When the giant tumour exploded, it was as painful as a man’s testicle being busted open! The creature howled as it turned around and tried to escape.
The Buffalo Criminal Boss had obviously felt the threat of death. Furthermore, it was a type of creature that lived in groups, so it instinctively disliked fighting alone. It would have been fine if it was winning, but the moment it started losing, it would instantly think of fleeing. If a mafia boss ran into a group of people from a rival family alone, his first reaction would be to flee too….
Ronnie was the most ecstatic among them to see the creature running away. He had a perverse bonus of “+33% explosive hit rate when attacking an enemy from the back”. Penetrating his enemy’s arsehole had always been his greatest pleasure in life.
The second most ecstatic person was Pokan. This man’s destructive power was not very strong, but in terms of creating obstacles to delay someone’s movement, he would not lose to anyone. The Buffalo Criminal Boss could be seen falling heavily from time to time in its desperate attempt to run away.
After fleeing three or four hundred metres, the Buffalo Criminal Boss realised that if it continued to run away like this, it might be killed before help could arrive.
Therefore, it turned around and re-engaged the enemies. With a roar, the Buffalo Criminal Boss’ weird, ugly body shrank inwards as if there were two giant invisible hands squeezing it! The monster became about 20% smaller.
Suddenly, purplish-black liquid shot out from more than a hundred holes on the Buffalo Criminal Boss’ body. From a distance, it looked as if hundreds of long, slim, purplish-black spikes had grown on the body of the creature!
AoE poison arrows!
There was nothing Sheyan could do; in fact, other Awakener MTs would be helpless too. Maybe only higher ranked MTs would have the means to handle this move. After the poison arrows struck someone, they would cause very strong corrosive poison damage, and the poisonous liquid would not disperse. Instead, it would turn into a sinister-looking four-footed snake that would gnaw madly on the victim’s body.
Sheyan completely ignored the others. He was tough and resilient, so he did not care much about the additional tearing damage done by the poison arrows. He continued chasing after the Buffalo Criminal Boss while screaming loudly. Only Ronnie, who was not poisoned, followed behind him closely.
Sheyan knew that the Buffalo Criminal Boss must be dealt with as soon as possible, so he did not hesitate at all to pull out ‘Verdict’ and fire a shot at the creature.
Ronnie followed close behind. With his lips tightly pursed and his breaths heavy, he leaped high up in the air. A cross-shaped light flashed, and the blood of the Buffalo Criminal Boss gushed out madly.
The Buffalo Criminal Boss howled painfully. As soon as it recovered from the stun, it fought back crazily while gasping heavily for breath. It raised its massive right arm and swept across the head of the evil enemy in front. The muscles in its left leg had already tightened in preparation for its next move!
Ronnie ducked at once, but could not do so in time. The Buffalo Criminal Boss’ left knee rose and kissed him in the face!
The blow sent Ronnie rolling away. Half his teeth were completely knocked off, his mouth full of blood as he opened it to swear something unintelligible. It seemed that his mind was not very clear right now. The Buffalo Criminal Boss grabbed his hair and tried to slit his throat with a sharp bone knife.
But Sheyan had immediately filled Ronnie’s position and grabbed the bone knife. A horrible wound was instantly cut open on his palm, sending blood spraying out.
