Chapter 2213 - One Shot to the Soul (1/2)

“Mutant Xenogeneic Duke Galactic Shrimp killed.”

An announcement played inside Han Sen’s head, but he earned no beast soul. And after the mutant Galactic Shrimp exploded, no gene remained for the taking. That made Han Sen quite depressed.

“Thank you, brother!” the flaming Duke shouted at Han Sen. He then raced back towards the other knights to continue their battle against the hordes of Galactic Shrimp.

As Han Sen hovered in surprise, he realized what had happened. Han Sen had wanted to steal the kill, which was why he had swooped down in front of the Duke. The Ice Blue Knight misunderstood, however, and he thought Han Sen knew the Galactic Shrimp would explode. That was why the knight had thanked him for his courageous action, when Han Sen was really just attempting to kill-steal.

“That was just a misunderstanding.” Han Sen bore a wry smile, but no one there knew of the existence of beast souls. And as a result, no one could have guessed his motivation.

Han Sen didn’t plan on explaining it, though. He didn’t have the time to do so, even if he had wanted to. Endless hordes of Galactic Shrimp were still charging, and Han Sen was in the middle of that awful fight,

As Han Sen began attacking, he heard a shout from that same fiery Ice Blue Knight. “Brother, send a rocket at these ones!”

Han Sen saw many Duke Galactic Shrimp moving to attack the knights’ tight formation. The formation was already struggling, as many of the knights were injured.

Han Sen knew what the Duke meant by the call, though. Han Sen flapped his wings and cast a Break Space Flash to get closer to them, and then he fired a rocket at the Duke Galactic Shrimp.

Pang!

A mushroom cloud exploded in the midst of the seafood swarm. It wasn’t powerful enough to break the hard shells of the shrimp, but the Turtle spell did an excellent job of slowing them down to a crawl. The Ice Blue Knights felt a major sense of relief.

The shells of the shrimp were frustratingly hard, though. Han Sen had a difficult time dealing with the Duke Galactic Shrimp. Still, being able to cooperate with the Ice Blue Knights was a fine thing.

Han Sen continued firing rockets into the assaulting forces. The rockets soared into the most dangerous droves of shrimp, and they took a great deal of pressure off the knights in battle.

Crime was surprised by what he was witnessing, as well. Han Sen was just a Marquise, but he was proving very beneficial to their forces. It not only surprised Crime, but it made a lasting impression on him as well.

“I didn’t expect him to prove so useful,” Crime said.

Mister White smiled. “He and Lone Bamboo in Sky Palace are knife and sword masters. Although he is a Marquise, his abilities put him on the same pedestal as a Duke.”

Crime didn’t know Han Sen, but he had heard about Lone Bamboo. The fight between Dollar, Lone Bamboo, and Evil Eye was quite famous, and many of the Extreme Kings had watched it. Crime was one of them.

Crime was surprised. “He is on the same level as Lone Bamboo?”

Mister White laughed. “You’ve seen his performance. You tell me. Don’t you think he could rival the likes of Lone Bamboo?”

“He is very strong.” Crime nodded in agreement. He wasn’t very fond of Han Sen’s personality, though, and he would still give the edge to Lone Bamboo in a fight between the two.

Crime preferred someone who could engage their enemies in face-to-face combat. He couldn’t appreciate someone like Han Sen, who kept changing positions to unleash sneaky attacks.

Han Sen didn’t care how people viewed him, though. He moved as he saw fit, and as he went, he kept firing those rockets that were imbued with the Turtle spell.
