Chapter 141: Contingency (2/2)

Because of the Antlion's anti-flight field that grounded everyone, the uppercut did not send Shri effect into Shrimp's head

Aldrich did not know if Shrimp had a humanoid nervous system, but if he did, that hit would have definitely rattled his brain or pulped it outright with the concentrated shockwave of the punch

Shri loose fro blue blood from it liberally

The Locus shoved Valera backwards desperately only tohi]

This consisted of Chirosit to sputter out of his body in petal shaped patterns that burnt up rapidly in the air

This gave the Crie for a sizable health cost to unleash a powerful overhead swing that slaround in a shower of shattered earth

The small crater around Shrimp then quickly turned into quicksand as the Antlion adjusted its position to continue trapping Shriht Aldrich, thinking that Shris

The Locus's shell arood chunks coreen and blue flesh beneath that bled from tears and cuts and swelled with bruises

Shrihly broken Jaw shattered One eye stilleverywhere Bruises everywhere He even stood shakily, wobbling as the accue likely tore ed his head, stopping hiiven ht then and there

But just as Aldrich thought this, the situation changed

Valera rushed in to kick Shrimp's side while he laid down, but at that ed ground, pooling upwards through the cracks like a geyser He iy he had only exhibited at the start of this fight, before he had taken all this dae, and instantly clicked back his piston fist

The blue and green energy stripes around his fist lit up halfway, like energy bars filling, but stopped at that halfway point He then unleashed his energy punch right into Valera

Valera, caught by surprise, guarded the hit with her ar far back with an explosive burst of bright blue, ocean wave patterned energy

That energy wave, despite being h power and weight behind it that Valera had to keep guarding against it while she was pushed back, taking her out of the fight for soe," said Seisent now He uncrossed his ar to show as he channeled his oer

"It's learned how to use its energy punches faster, and on top of that, it's been healed," said Aldrich as he saw that when the white aura of energy faded, showing that Shriht you said the Antaeic Factor didn't work so long as they were kept under pressure"

"…" Seis on now This hasn't happened before"

With Valera, the main tank and heavy hitter, pushed away, Shrie of its Burst to irab it before s it in half over his knee He then tossed the wheel halves far away

Chiros readied to rush in as well, and froe the situation, but Aldrich commanded both of them to stop

'Do NOT panic attack!' said Aldrich fir to feel increasingly like Aldrich was the villain fighting a protagonist who pulled out random powerup after powerup

But Aldrich re to do was get dragged into its pace This, he had learned through the ga bosses with second or even third phases, in dungeons or areas with traps and sudden areatest weapon one could wield was not a powerful weapon or sturdy armor, but the steadiness of cal theaze doards, towards the quicksand, where underneath, the Antlion was trapping it It began to raise its fist into the air

"I'ency," said Aldrich

Seisht I was the contingency What else do you have?"

"Me…" Aldrich said simply as he leaped down from Crow's back
