Chapter 1257 Fighting Fire with Fire (1/2)
Emblazoned across the red shield, Han Sen noticed the faint outline of a fish. It was like a shark, but it was even more fearsome looking than that. Behind the head of this image, there was a tentacle-like limb that reached over. From this tentacle, something hung.
Han Sen thought it was a human hanging from the tentacle. It was quite the unnerving picture.
The aquatic monster's outline was large, and it encompassed the entire altar that was behind it, like some wretched sentinel.
”Is this an image of the King of the Blood River?” Han Sen wondered, as the trio were slashing against the barrier that repelled their attempts to attack the third statue. Now, they acknowledged their power was not enough.
The shield had ten gene locks powering it, that much was for sure. Ordinary powers weren't going to scratch it, let alone cut through it.
”Let's see who can hit harder, then.” Han Sen commanded his followers to stop attacking, then he activated his super king spirit mode.
The holy, white light began to gleam. Han Sen's body shone like a deity of light; one with a coin between his fingers. The number on the coin began to ascend, one by one; a signal of its increasing power.
The fishman continued gathering its power, too, as Han Sen did the same on the opposite side of the barrier.
Both of their powers were like the rumbling and thunder from a couple of volcanos preparing to erupt. The sheer volume of energy that whirled throughout that chamber was frightening.
The fishman started to tremble. The power cradled in the basketball-sized sphere of water was equivalent to the amount needed to sunder entire mountains.
Boom!
The fishman lobbed the orb of water like a hydrogen bomb, leaving its legs trembling with exertion.
Han Sen's body was also trembling with the power he had been summoning into the coin. Its number had now reached an all-time high, hitting twenty-one. The moment the sphere left its bearer's hands, Han Sen let the coin fly.
Within the tiniest fraction of a second, the orb and coin collided in mid-air.
The power unleashed was crazy, and the shockwave caused by the impact was enough to send Little Angel and Disloyal Knight flying away.
Amidst this carnage, Han Sen saw the coin pierce through the orb of water and cause a massive shockwave.
The coin did not stop there, however. It carried on through towards the fishman's head, obliterating it. And in the immediate aftermath of that, the suction of the coin began to pull everything towards it like a magnet.
The altar was broken, and its remains all flew towards the coin as if it were a black hole.
The red shield had been shattered, and the fishman was no longer visible.
Boom!
