Chapter 57: Lin Shi losing an Arm

Gnomes were everywhere and the school was a mess. There were several people who hid and others who ran out of the school, running towards the forest. There were also those who stayed behind and bravely fought, it was only that these Gnomes were slightly stronger than Lesser Goblins and to a normal human, they were even harder to handle. The number of deaths and injured were quickly escalating.

Su Yu wanted to help them deal with the Gnomes but he was even more concerned about Jade, he did not want to meddle in the affairs of others. He was not afraid but he was afraid that he would implicate Jade, he decided that first sending Jade out of the school to Zhao Shi Chang and the group before returning to kill these Gnomes was the better plan.

Although he was not a saint and would not sacrifice himself for others, if it was within his abilities he would certainly do it.

Rushing down the stairs, another group of Gnomes had come forward and Su Yu’s right hand drew in Jade, protecting her behind his body while his left hand lifted, fangs appeared on it as he shook it, “swish swish swish swish”, ‘Fang Bullet Burst’ sent several fangs flying out as he also activated the ‘Rending Claw’. It was almost one Gnome per slash as the Gnomes could not even handle a single blow, all falling before him.

Jade’s mouth was open and her face had shock written on it. Su Yu had become so strong and that left arm that was covered in black scales seemed like the claw of a demonic emperor from hell, even the Gnomes which were so strong were nothing in the face of it.

With Su Yu protecting her, Jade suddenly felt at ease.

“Ha!” Suddenly there was a familiar shout from another side followed by a “Bang!”. A Gnome was sent tumbling away as a bloody finger-sized hole could be seen in the centre of its chest.

Su Yu looked over and saw Lin Shi, he was currently surrounded by a group of Gnomes and although he had utilized his ‘Air Bullet’ and killed three Gnomes, each time he shot an ‘Air Bullet’ he needed a few seconds before he could fire the next one and each time he shot an ‘Air Bullet’ he was forced to run away and wait several seconds before firing again.

At this moment, he was thoroughly surrounded by Gnomes without any road for escape. The situation was dire and when Su Yu looked over, the metal spade of a Gnome had just heavily slammed onto Lin Shi’s left arm.

“Aaahhh!” Lin Shi let out a terrifying shout, blood splashed from his left arm and with a “Plonk”, the metal spade within the Gnomes hand slammed and its sharpness and strength was frightening. Lin Shi’s left arm was almost instantly severed, the severed arm was dripping with fresh blood as it fell to the ground.

Lin Shi howled in his pain as he lifted his right hand, “Bang!”, the Gnome that had severed his hand had its face smashed in as it spat out blood and fell to the ground.

“Damn! Why is he here!” Su Yu immediately lifted his hand while pulling Jade along towards Lin Shi, activating the ‘Fang Bullet Burst’ at the same time.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Several continuous explosive sounds could be heard as the group of Gnomes surrounding Lin Shi became restless, several of the Gnomes amongst them had been hit by the ‘Fang Bullet Burst’.

Su Yu’s ‘Fang Bullet Burst’ was similar to Lin Shi’s ‘Air Bullet’ and needed time between activations. However, his ‘Fang Bullet Burst’ could fire several fangs at once, unlike Lin Shi’s ‘Air Bullet’ which could only fire a single burst of air each time. It was only in terms of penetrating power that Lin Shi’s ‘Air Bullet’ was far superior to the ‘Fang Bullet Burst’.

These two moves could be said to each have their own strengths.

When Lin Shi’s left arm had been severed at the roots and surrounded by the Gnomes, he knew that he was bound for death and only struggled meekly during his final moments when an explosive noise could be heard and Su Yu was seen rushing over.

Lin Shi’s face that was pale with pain had a faint smile on it, Su Yu had come and he had a chance now.

Over these past few days, their group had gained a blind confidence in Su Yu as though once he appeared, any problem would definitely be solved.
