Chapter 283 - Ripping I (2/2)
Sauron's head snapped back as the fire flashed in the canals. The sniper bullet hit him in the forehead, causing him to fall backwards. But when his broad back was level with the ground, Sauron stood up straight again as he leaned forward. Between his eyebrows, a sliver of molten iron dripped from his nose. It was the liquid after the sniper bullets were melted. Although a bullet hole had appeared on Saurun's forehead, the crystal around the bullet hole continued to produce new crystal threads. The crystal wire quickly formed a crystal film on the surface of the bullet hole. Following the formation of the new crystal wire, they combined to form a new crystal.
In a split-second, the wounds on his body disappeared.
Zero jumped up from the ground, dropped the bucket and ran. Roughly a hundred meters away, he suddenly stopped and then fell to the ground. In the nick of time, a current of scorching energy flew over his head and crashed into a rock shoot that was partially protruding from the ground in front of him. It did not explode, but the moment it came into contact with the bright red light, it went limp. Under the hot light beam, the rock quickly turned into glass, causing Zero to frown.
The crystal suits on each side of Saurun's chest had six crystal slits arranged in a circular pattern, from which, the same as the Flame Explosion Technique, the ability of a rank 6 spell, ”Scorching Flame Breath” was constantly being emitted. Although the temperature of this high-temperature beam was only half of the Flame Explosion Technique's, it was better than not needing to gather energy to continuously fire. Especially in a narrow environment, one could display a terrifying amount of power.
Streaks of enchanting red light crisscrossed each other, weaving into a giant web of destruction. The energy impact of Scorching Flame Breath had already surpassed the defensive limit of Nightmare Tactics. While escaping from these terrifying rays of light, Zero accidentally brushed against one or two of them. The Night God Tactics suit immediately vaporized, and the surface of Zero's skin silently showed signs of carbonization. As soon as he moved, his charred skin split open, revealing pink muscle tissue beneath.
Thus, Zero was like a moth that had fallen into a spider web. He used a fast and ever-changing movement technique to travel through Saurun's Scorching Breath. Every second felt like he was dancing with the Death God, and death followed him like a shadow. The distance between them was less than 300 meters, but it felt like they had walked for half a century. When they finally reached the corner of the side road, Zero suddenly moved to the side and disappeared from Saurun's line of sight, causing three streams of burning flame to fall into the air and melt a large piece of the ground.
Saurun's angry roar resounded from the side passage. Zero didn't say a word as he moved forward, using the intricate side roads as his natural cover to find the best place to snipe at Sauron.
During this time of being chased down and killed, the sound of the sniper rifle rang out twice more, but the roar of the Flowing Flame did not stop for a single moment!
Zero took a deep breath and calmed his beating heart down. There were many charred wounds on his body, but the most serious one was a charred muscle on his back. That was because Saurun's Flame Explosion Technique had brushed past him. If it wasn't for the fact that he dodged quickly, he would have only been hit by the exploding Burning Wind. If he was caught in the middle of the explosion, he would have been reduced to a pile of minced meat.
Saurun, whose speed could not exceed zero, changed his strategy after realizing that playing hide and seek was not his strong point. He used the Flame Explosion Technique, Raging Flames, and other powerful abilities to blow up all the tunnels and limit the range of movement. Zero knew very well that when he was forced into a place that Sauron had set down, he would probably be waiting for his death.
The Elemental Transformation of Saurun was very powerful, at least for the current Zero. Some of the human's obvious weaknesses had disappeared. During the previous three sniping attacks, Zero had attacked Saurun's forehead and chest respectively. The attack on Saurun's head and heart only slowed him down a little. In order to increase the frequency of his attacks, Saurun did not even try to dodge or defend. As he let Zero hit him, he took the opportunity to attack. A few of the more serious injuries on Zero's body suffered from this kind of counterattack.
However, zero was not without its harvest. However, Saurun didn't allow himself to be hit by the sniper rifle, which was aimed at Saurun's right chest. Instead, he used his right arm to block the sniper rifle. Of course, it was impossible to tell from Saurun's reaction that his weakness was in his left chest, but it was worth a try.
Behind him, there was the sound of an explosion and the rolling of rocks and sand. Zero knew that Sauron had sealed off another branch and that he didn't have much time left. The longer it dragged on, the more the scale of victory tilted toward Sauron. Su Bai quietly picked up his sniper rifle and was about to continue moving. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and two diamond-shaped crystals that were wrapped in a red blush floated over.
This was the Elementalist Floater Cannon, which had the ability to lock onto targets and attack them. Feng was almost hit by Sauron's Flame Explosion because of this, if there wasn't anything. When he saw these two little things, Ling Chen knew that Saurun had caught up. He raised his sniper rifle and fired. The sniper rifle hit the left side of the Floater Cannon.
The crystal structure of the Floater Cannon wasn't as solid as Saurun's main body. The moment it was hit, it exploded into a ball of fire. However, the other Floater Cannon had already opened fire. From the tip of the crystal, an energy beam similar to a burning breath shot out. Of course, this wasn't all that difficult. While dodging, he fired again and the remaining Floater Cannon exploded. However, the moment the Floater Cannon exploded, Zero felt a terrifying heat coming from behind him. He only had time to turn around to see Saurun lunging over with the raging flames around him!
It turned out that the two Floater Cannons were only used to attract Zero's attention.
A hot wind blew against his face, and Saurun arrived. Zero groaned. By then, it was already too late to escape. He simply raised his sniper rifle towards Saurun. Saurun's face revealed a fiendish smile. He didn't try to dodge. Instead, he stretched out his hand and grasped the muzzle of the gun. At this moment, Zero pulled the trigger.
Slow down the time by a thousand times, you could see the needle striking the shell, the gunpowder in the shell was ignited, and the pressure in the air instantly reached 3000 degrees, pushing the warhead, shooting out along the barrel at a speed of 800 meters. However, just as the warhead reached the front end of the barrel, it was melted into liquid metal by the high temperature. The high temperature originated from Saurun's palm. If one looked closely, they would see white flames escaping Saurun's palm.
This was a 2,000-degree heat. Not only did it melt the bullet, it also melted the barrel of the sniper rifle. Red sparks spread out from the gun, and Zero Dang released the sniper rifle and kicked Saurun heavily. Naturally, this kick wasn't much of a threat to Saurun, but it was enough for Zero to push him out.
Zero Fly retreated, landed, rolled and then bounced up. His body leaned forward, the tip of his feet pushed forward, leaving afterimages behind him as he charged forward. But at this moment, the temperature behind his back suddenly rose. There was no need to turn around to see a bright red light illuminating the side of the side road. The walls of the mountain broke through the air as they approached from behind. Zero dove forward again, and the red beam of heat brushed past him.
However, this time, his speed had decreased and he was unable to completely evade the beam of light. So that the beam grazed past the invader and the carrying gear, and the pawnbroker undid the lock on the gear and let both fall to the ground at once. Due to the special material, even though the light beam had brushed past the aggressor, it only left it red for a moment before disappearing in the blink of an eye. However, the materials used to carry the equipment were ordinary. A crack appeared in the middle, causing the ammunition and grenades to fall out.
A few more beams of light struck the zero direction, forcing him to stop. He spun around and faced the enemy in front of him. In the corner of his eye, a knife hilt fell into Zero's eyes. It was the unactivated Light Tooth. It was lying on the ground quietly, not even three meters away from zero.
Zero gritted his teeth and the silver lines on the edge of the golden pupil in his right eye suddenly gathered, forming a silver vertical pupil. Zero took a deep breath, and when he exhaled again, it was all hot smoke.
He moved, and in the instant that he pounced towards Light Tooth, he shot out again, barely dodging the baldy's high-temperature beam. However, even more beams of light came crashing over. Zero gripped the Light Tooth in his hand tightly as an ice-cold look appeared in his eyes. Wherever he moved, his cold gaze never left Sauron's left chest.
After entering berserk mode, Zero's speed and movements became even faster and more unpredictable. At the very least, with Saurun's speed of calculation, he wouldn't be able to keep up with the movements of zero. But now the two sides were on a narrow side road with two wide ends, which determined that no matter how fast they moved, they would still have a blind spot. The burning breath that was continuously released from Saurun's chest would occasionally shoot out and shoot out randomly. It would use an extremely complicated and disorderly shooting mode to deal with the strange movement mode.
In just three seconds, Zero was right in front of Saurun. However, his shoulder, chest, and right thigh were all pierced by the hot beam of light. This was the price he had paid for getting close to Saurun. What he got in return was an opportunity to attack Saurun directly.
In Saurun's eyes, Zero raised his right hand. In his right hand, there was something strange. It was something like a dagger grip, with a blunt front end. Saurun really didn't know what to do with it. But when a blade made out of pure energy shot out, it was like a demon beast baring its fangs. A peerless and cold aura caused the disordered person who did not know what fear was to feel a chill in his heart!
