Chapter 139: Beatdown

Aldrich watched fro lord as his units attacked Shri out their attacks so that Shrile moment of rest in his pit of quicksand

The Antlion could not actually deal daht field were extre hiically pick apart

The Deathwheel would roll in, forcing Shrimp to block, but before Shrith, Valera would come in from the back with a blow

Shrimp would have to block that attack, but as he did so, the Deathwheel would be ready to attack again, rolling towards Shri a free hit

After two of these exchanges where Shrih i wheel spin from the Deathwheel at his back, the Locus adapted

"ORA!" Valera sprinted at blinding speed towards Shrimp and unleashed an intense flurry of punches Her dozens of punches visually blurred together in a wall of fists converging down on Shrimp

This was [Hundredfold Flurry], a powerful fist based skill that unleashed a le target for e

Meanwhile, the Deathwheel circled towards Shried or blocked

Shriy fueledaura of blue-green formed around his body

Valera's black and red eyes narrowed as she readied to strike behind her at any o to break hiht position between Valera and the Deathwheel where he always faced an attack froe Valera's countless blows He ht

Afteriht of his aura tracked hispattern of coed all of Valera's high speed punch flurry

At Valera's very last punch, Shriauntleted fist scraped by Shri out sparks with how close the impact was

This was intentional

Aldrich saas going to happen and clapped his hands, coing Valera's attacks at the very lastin lest it interfere with Valera or, worse, get hit by her But this was far easier theorized than done

To actually get the ti of Valera's incredibly powerful and fast punches, arequired absurd reflexes that Shrimp had not possessed before

Aldrich hypothesized that Shrimp's Burst affected not only his physical movements, but also his brain processes and reflexes

This let Shri tick of his Burst without getting assaulted by the Deathwheel

His energy aura faded down as the ground beneath his feet sone, he had achieved what he had wanted: getting behind past both Valera and the Deathwheel so that they could not gang up on him

But if there was anyone else in this battle that knew anything about perfect tis, then it was Aldrich

No sooner had Shriet out than did his antennae twitch as he looked up in the air

Before Shriet some distance, a red flash crashed in fro the Cri down at Shrimp's neck with his Bloodstone Saber

"More?" Shrimp said, annoyance palpable in his eerily human voice

"Is that disappointment I hear?" said Chiros as he pushed down on his saber, using it to vault over Shrimp's head and stand behind the sea variant "Then I simply must put on a better performance, for I am never known to disappoint!"
