Chapter 1209: Can You Feel It?
Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1
Blue ice particles filled the air. The rest of Party Ace were dumbstruck, their eyes blank. They could not believe what was happening.
The fiery Mogensha, sharp like a flying AK bullet.
The laid-back Mogensha, always leaning against a tree, puffing cigars with his thick lips.
The Mogensha who could always pull them out of trouble with his shots.
The Mogensha who ran like the wind....
He’s dead.
He’s really dead.
DEAD!!!
The roaring ice particles surged past like rolling waves, enveloping everything around in a layer of silver. Party Ace could not escape the fate of being frozen in the thick layer of ice. Their expressions were either extremely painful or simply blank, unable to believe their eyes.
Reef was pushed up high by the cold wave, his face towards the sky and his lower body frozen in the ice. Blood and tears ran wild on his face. He could still vividly remember the hand Mogensha extended towards him a long time ago, rough yet strong, saving him from the abyss of death.
Mogensha had saved him, but he could not save Mogensha. He could only watch, helplessly watch as Mogensha died!!!
Boss....
‘Boss!! What the hell are you doing???’
***
Zi and Mogensha had not had much contact, but she had spent enough time with him to know that he was a man of few words, but a very reliable person. Once a job was assigned to him, they could rest assured that he would surely accomplish it.
Zi had very casually said to Mogensha after the fight started, “Protect Sanzi”.
Zi could never have imagined that this would be the last words spoken between Mogensha and herself! That was their farewell....
Mogensha had promised Zi to protect Sanzi. And at the most critical moment, he actually fulfilled his promise with his own life.
Zi originally thought that Sheyan was remaining silent all this time because he was remaining patient while laying down his schemes, but....
At this cost?!
‘Mogensha’s dead, and we’re all in grave danger!’
‘You asshole!!! What the hell are you doing?
***
Tears flowed down Sanzi’s face, turning into streams of ice under the extreme cold.
He had never been so profoundly close to death.
And of course, he had never survived such a close contact with death before!
And most importantly, he had only survived because his companion had given up his own life to protect him....
‘I, I’m so scared.’
‘I don’t wanna die!!!!’
‘Brother, save us! Where are you?!’
***
“There’s a bit of an accident, but I still consider that a perfect strike,” Pryzbilla retrieved himself from the cover and said with a shrug. “That Mogensha dude actually chose to die in place of the summoner. Such a strong sense of camaraderie. Well, that’s good too. I just got the notification that I’ve killed a Growth Hunter. Wow, I actually got a pretty decent amount of achievement points! Okay, time to draw a reward....a pair of dark gold leather pants! What a pleasant surprise! Lamb, Lamb, it’s your lucky day! How’re you going to thank me?”
KD suddenly frowned. “Something’s wrong... Wait. Repeat what you just said.”
“I said I just got a pair of dark gold pants,” replied Pryzbilla with a puzzled look.
“Not that. Before that. *cough* *cough* Damn, why is my throat itching so badly?” stammer KD while he coughed. He had already shifted his attention to the Incantators of Destruction.
Pryzbilla sounded rather perplexed as he answered, “I said the Realm has notified me that I’ve killed a Growth Hunter.”
“That’s it!” KD’s pupils suddenly contracted. “I’ve calculated the situation very accurately. With that shot, you could directly kill an enemy contestant, and although the power of the shockwave produced by the explosion of the ‘Chill of Resentment’ isn’t too strong, it should still be strong enough to kill someone who’s in the state of near death! I was aiming for the dark gold shield of that MT called Reef!”
“But the notification you received said you’ve only killed one person! That means the MT is still alive! Where did I miscalculate? He shouldn’t have any cards left hidden up his sleeve. If he does, based on his character, he’d definitely have used it to save his teammate!”
KD paced back and forth, as anxious as a trapped beast, but Pryzbilla merely shrugged and said without much concern, “I saw Reef’s body glowing with a yellowish light. You can’t calculate everything; there’ll always be...ah ah ah ah ah chooooo...accidents. F*ck, like this damn sneeze.”
KD suddenly went quiet. His eyes shook as he look towards the battlefield, as if he had noticed an abnormality.
On the battlefield, Reef’s position was the most conspicuous and the most awkward, because he was frozen in the air five or six meters above the ground by the ice shockwave when the giant blue rose exploded.
Everyone figured he would already be in the state of near death before the ice shockwave hit, and his glorious dark gold shield had attracted the greedy gazes of all the enemies on the battlefield.
It was for this reason that Zi and Sanzi, who were also in the state of near death after being attacked by the ice shockwave, were safe. The ice shockwave would not differentiate friends from foes, so the four remaining enemies on the battlefield had immediately escaped when the shot hit, but if they had ran back in to attack Zi and Sanzi right away, at least one of the two would definitely have died.
The four remaining enemies were surprised to find that Reef had actually not died in the ice shockwave and was still struggling in the state of near death. They had no time to think about it, only worried that they would be too slow to act!
Since the target party was almost wiped out now, it signified the end of the cooperation, so the previously allied parties were now... competitors, maybe even enemies!
Therefore, they were already thinking of how to save themselves after they got the shield, or how to deal with the guy who got to the shield first!
The combined attack from four powerful Awakeners bombarded Reef’s body!
The massive impact shattered the thick ice layer surrounding Reef into scattering light blue particles again. Most of the plaza was covered in ice particles, sharply lowering visibility and giving the air on the plaza a misty ambience, as if the scene before Mogensha’s death was repeating itself.
But, nevertheless!
A sacred, indestructible golden ray instantly shot out of Reef’s body. The formidable ‘Life-Link’ ability suddenly appeared in front of everyone!
In fact, ‘Life-Link’ had already protected Reef once before, but Brother Black’s magnificent nirvana before his courageous death had attracted everyone’s attention, and the blossoming blue rose afterwards was way too magnificent. The glow on Reef’s body only flashed once, unnoticed by anyone.
But now, Reef was the focus!
The bright yellow eggshell-like light around his body was especially bright because the attacks of the enemies were so strong!!
Such a thin protective layer, and yet there were signs of life flowing arrogantly in it. It was precisely because of this that it was indestructible!
An intense pain could be felt on his body, but Reef was happy for it. It was a strange feeling of revenge akin to self-abuse. He screamed in his heart, “This pain, this discomfort, can finally be transmitted to you, boss, but this is merely one thousandth of the pain in my heart. Can you feel it? Can you feel it??!!”
Then, amid the ice and dust scattered in the sky like a light blue mist, Reef saw that Shali, who was the closest to himself, had a very strange expression on his face.
His expression was originally twisted with greed and madness.
Reef was accustomed to this kind of expression. However, the expression on Shali’s face now was very unfamiliar to him.
In but a few seconds, it turned into an expression of disbelief, fear, and a pain of not being able to utter a word.
Looking at his face, one could not help but wonder at the richness of the human expression. Shifting a few facial muscles by a few millimeters could actually cause such a huge change in a person!
Reef’s eyes rested on Shali’s chest.
There seemed to be something unusual there.
Soon, that spot protruded slightly, and then it was pierced through by a sharp tip. An ordinary-looking blade slowly pushed outwards.
The blade belonged to a sabre.
An very ordinary-looking sabre!
But it was this ordinary-looking sabre which pierced through the chest of the formidable Shali from behind. It then slowly and brutally lifted the man up, clearly intending to cause him more pain!
Suddenly, the blade was withdrawn, and the tip of the sabre disappeared from Reef’s view.
Shali’s eyes had lost the luster of life. A huge amount of blood burst out from behind him. He slowly slipped down, exposing the man standing behind him!
The man who was bathed in blood, who looked as if his whole body was burning!
The man who had previously stood idly by.
The man whom Party Ace called for in their hearts countless times!!!
At this time, Sheyan’s gaze had become so hard that they were on the verge of extreme madness! He looked into the eyes of Reef, who was panting, face twisted in pain. Reef gritted his teeth and stared back at Sheyan with his eyes bloodshot. He squeezed his fists tight. There was no need for words; they understood each other’s minds.
“I felt it.”
Sheyan told Reef calmly.
Reef’s tears flowed down his face once more... When he heard these words, he felt that he could die in peace.
