Chapter 433: Saw Skate King (III)
That delayed silver glint shook Haoyue with force, using the upper part of its horn, full of sinister intent. And on the previous location of Long Haochen’s group, countless silver glints appeared, frantically entangling in the air.
The silvery silhouette disappeared in the air in the next instant, before reappearing three seconds later. Its aim was to follow Long Haochen’s group using its spatial powers and kill them, but it unfortunately failed at its attempt.
Right, the one chasing was precisely the Saw Skate King.
Being a magical beast of the tenth rank, its perception was even more terrifying than what Long Haochen’s group could imagine. After the surrounding air was filled with spatial essence, everything in it’s scope was under his control.
Having his habitat attacked, the Saw Skate King admittedly avoided taking risks, but after ensuring all his kin were safe, the Saw Skate King made a thorough search. After making sure that no other threat was present, the Saw Skate King chased after them, full of rancor. When coming at them, it even relied on repeated spatial teleportations.
If Han Yu’s suggestion came a little later, perhaps they would have been inflicted by the terrifying attack of the Saw Skate King. And the same would have happened if Long Haochen’s reaction was just a bit slower. And another important thing was that Haoyue had the quinary elemental Essence of Disorder prepared beforehand, which burst out instantly at this time, stalling some precious time for the group.
At the time Long Haochen brought everyone back to the Tower of Eternity, he found out that the clothes inside his armor were completely drenched in sweat.
The instant right before was truly perilous. He sensed death being even closer to them in this adventure than the time they went up against Ah’Bao.
Even if Ah’Bao was even stronger, he had yet to break through the ninth step, and those Demon Hunter Removers were the same. However, this Saw Skate King was not only equivalent to a human powerhouse of the ninth step, it was also an expert in offense. In case his attack really succeeded, none of them would have made it out. In front of absolute strength, even divine tools would be helpless.
The expressions on their faces were particularly unsightly, especially for Long Haochen whose fatal mistake could have been the reason for the death of their entire team.
Everyone went silent, and everyone seemed drenched in sweat. No one would be fearless in front of death, especially when put in such a close distance from it.
Long Haochen clenched his teeth tightly, remaining silent for a long time.
Appearing dispirited, Haoyue was crawling on the floor. It was fortunate that at the time he launched Essence of Disorder, Han Yu had released the formidable power of the Spiritual Stove of Blessing of Light, ensuring him a rapid recovery. Otherwise, his overdraft from the frenetic release of such a powerful spell would have become even greater.
Essence of Disaster was originally an innate magic of Haoyue, with undoubtable power, but its weak point remained that no matter how strong Haoyue would be, unleashing this spell would still nearly exhaust all his spiritual energy.
Still, that previous blow revealed the real strength Haoyue attained after evolving. When attacked by the penta elemental Essence of Disaster, even a powerhouse of the ninth step was delayed for over five seconds. A spatial attribute user such a the Saw Skate King was unable to struggle free from the effects of the spell, only keeping itself unharmed at most.
“Sorry everyone. I need to review my decision, my planning was not thorough enough, putting our group in great danger. As captain, the responsibility falls on me.”
“Boss, don’t be like this. Who could expect that the Saw Skate King would be that powerful?” While bearing the backlash from his spiritual stove Sima Xian said in a hurry.
Han Yu also nodded , “That’s right! All of this went beyond our expectations. It is all our responsibility, don’t just blame yourself.”
Letting out a bitter smile, Long Haochen shook his head, “No! As the captain, I still brought you there despite realizing that we might possibly encounter a powerful Saw Skate King. This was already a mistake. Had someone have been lost today, I would forever be unable to forgive myself. I am the one at wrong. As punishment for it, I will renounce all of the profit and the Forest Boa Pills that we will have obtained from the trip here. ”
“Captain, the one at wrong should be me. It was all because of my selfishness, so I…” Although being staunch, Wang Yuanyuan couldn’t help but leak out red traces on her eye socket. The one who benefitted from the killing of Saw Skates the most was her, and it was precisely because she was lacking in spatial attribute equipment that Long Haochen undertook this venture.
Revealing a slight smile, Long Haochen raised his hand to stop Wang Yuanyuan from saying more, “Alright, we can at last be considered safe. I will now definitely be even more careful when planning our next course of action.”
“Everyone should go have a good rest. After these two teleportations, we will need to stay here for a long time before coming out. This should avoid encountering the Saw Skate King waiting in ambush for us to come out.”
