702 Battle 4 (1/2)
Chapter 702: Battle 4
Hochman stopped playing with the ringing steel balls in his hand and lightly tossed them to the subordinates behind him. What was strange was that his palms had the same brilliance as the steel balls, and making them look rather inhuman.
”We have been waiting for you for a long time,” Weidi stomped on the corpse in front of him, ”This guy is the so-called elite from the Lightless Alliance and I can't believe he stealthily came here to gain some advantages. What a stupid man.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Hochman slammed hard with his hand.
Bam!!
The black shadows surrounding him were abruptly shoved away from him. He then grabbed one with his hand and smashed it into the ground.
Boom!!
Fresh blood erupted everywhere.
The black shadows stopped moving and started to turn into black dust.
Hochman stood up casually as if he did something meaningless.
”Invisibility? Interesting.”
His action in that instant made Weidi so stunned that his pupils had contracted. The black mist around him had stopped spreading and was only covering half of the area. Furthermore, it was the smaller half too as the area had been occupied by an invisible force field.
His pupils started turning green.
”Who exactly are you? Why do you have such power!”
Hochman's expression didn't change as he slowly walked towards Weidi. As he moved forward, with each step he took, two green lights would flash mid-air near where he walked. What would then appeared were black-shirted human figures that were originally invisible. These human figures were frozen stiff as they floated in the middle of the air and each of them was maintaining a strange pose as if they were unable to move out of it.
Boom.
In an instant, the first black-shirted human figure exploded and turned into black ash that drifted to the ground. Then the next boom could be heard; it was the second body. Then the third, the fourth…
Wherever Hochman had been, the hidden invisible Blood Breeds near him were revealed and frozen mid-air, unable to move. They then exploded into ashes one after another.
An inexplicable and vicious shadow slowly changed its shape behind Hochman. The shadow behind him was no longer in human shape and what replaced it was a horrifying giant beast with sharp horns. The shape closely resembled the dragons from the folklores of the west.
A calm yet powerful oppression spread from his body. With his every step, the shadow's occupied space cast by Weidi and his members was further reduced.
Perhaps even Garen couldn't foresee that Hochman would be able to break through the middle-tier upper level and get close to the peak of the upper level when Garen had increased his strength. Even his soul was faintly similar to that of Garen's, which meant that his soul possessed the overwhelming aura of the incomparably powerful Nine-Headed Dragon.
Ahh!!!
Weidi shouted with all his might and two white sharp fangs suddenly appeared in his mouth. His body bent and he instantly teleported behind Hochman as he attempted to tear into his neck.
Hochman reacted by giving off a green light from his body as if he was covered with a layer of greenish, glowing fluid.
Suddenly two white scimitars stealthily ambushed Hochman from both sides, as if there were two other Blood Breeds as strong as Weidi attacking him at once.
One had to realize that Hochman wouldn't even allow an ambush to come this close from a typical Blood Breed of Lower-Level and Middle-Level.
However, these two scimitars made it. They came out of nowhere and seemed to draw very close to Hochman's skin.
”Waterbird's Profound!” Hochman's eyes instantly lit up and a shapeless whirlwind appeared around him.
”Dual Blade!!”
In that instant, the area was filled with white sparks that could blind someone temporarily.
***************
Blood was trickling down his arms and dripping down onto the black dirt in a green field. The blood was immediately absorbed into the dirt, leaving nothing behind but soil that was slightly red.
Dahm opened his mouth wide as he panted while staring at Arudo.
His situation was dire; his right arm had been destroyed and a big chunk of his left arm had been torn so badly that blood was flowing out profusely.
On the other hand, Arudo who was before him had half of his brain blown out. However, defying logic, it was recovering at a normal pace. What was inside his skull wasn't something that resembled a brain but similar to his other parts of the body. It was filled with red thick matter which moved around.
The newly recovered Arudo looked equally battered. His shirt was covered in holes from when he was hit by Dahm's Waterbird Fist and had exploded innumerable times.
