Chapter 845: Rock Paper Scissors (1/2)
GDK 845: Rock Paper Scissors
It happened in less than the split of a second. Before Han Shuo could react, Metal Elite Zombie had been pulled to the bottom of the swamp. The giant arm vanished with Han Jin, leaving just a few bubbles on the surface.
Han Shuo was alarmed and he immediately flew towards the swamp. The seventeen flying swords whooshed out and shot into the mud.
Metal Elite Zombie and Han Shuo had connected minds and they could sense each other’s positions. Following Han Shuo’s thoughts, the seventeen flying swords shot into the swamp in a flash. An earth-shaking rumble sounded from its depth while the mud-splattered high into the sky.
“Show yourself!” shouted Han Shuo coldly as he wrecked the swamp with his flying swords.
Some of the seventeen flying swords were pinching on the humanoid creature covered with mud and they carried the creature out from the swamp. Several of the flying swords were still bombarding its body, making loud metallic clangs and sparks.
Metal Elite Zombie was not on the creature. He re-emerged from the swamp behind the creature and shouted, “What monster!”
Toxic sludges overflowed from the humanoid creature’s mouth as he spoke in a hoarse voice, “Rose? Why are you here?”
The sludges slowly fell off his body. Soon, his body that had a metallic sheen was laid bare. Although he bore the form of a human, his flesh and skin seemed to be made of steel and rock. His eyes were glittering with a greyish light that looked inexplicably bizarre.
The seventeen flying swords that carried intense corrosive power had been making loud metallic noises and sparks when they stuck the person. However, he doesn’t seem to be vulnerable to the power of the flying swords. Not only that his body wasn’t corroding, but he also doesn’t seem to be affected by the chilling aura.
“Romon? Is that you?” asked Rose.
“Yes, I am!” replied the strange person. He looked up and down at Han Shuo and his party with greyish eyes and asked, “Why are you here? Who are they?”
“They are my friends. We are looking for you,” replied Rose. She hesitated for a bit before she asked, “Romon, how did you turn into this?”
“Father, the surface of his body is filled with rare metals and his organs contain all kinds of toxins. He is not afraid of your flying swords,” shouted Han Jin after he left the swamp. Golden Cudgel, the Supreme Treasure of the Metal Attribute Energy, suddenly grew to the size of a large tree and came whacking at Romon.
This alien called Romon seemed unruffled against Han Shuo’s seventeen flying swords as though they had been nothing but tickles. But when he saw Metal Elite Zombie’s Golden Cudgel, he put on a frightened face. He even forgot to answer Rose and frantically tried to flee from the Cudgel.
“Hehe, dumbass, your body is filled with metal. How are you gonna run from me?” said Han Jin in a smirk. The Golden Cudgel then flew off his hand and went after Romon like a guided missile.
No matter where Romon ran or how he tried to dodge, the Golden Cudgel would always manage to smack him. It made a loud bang and painful cries which each hit. In just a short few moments, Han Jin’s Golden Cudgel had managed to make five good whackings on Romon’s shiny buttocks.
The Golden Cudgel, being an extraordinary weapon of the metal energy, possessed an exceptional power at sensing and manipulating all metals. As most of Ramon’s body was made of metals, there was no way that he could run from the Golden Cudgel’s attacks.
Paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, and scissors beat paper. This was the situation. As Romon was made of rare metals and all sorts of toxins, even Han Shuo would have a hard time trying to defeat him. Metal Elite Zombie, however, although less powerful than Han Shuo, could give him a painful beating. Romon was immune to Han Shuo’s deadly seventeen flying swords but he was helpless against Han Jin’s Golden Cudgel. He had tried deploying every kind of defense he knew of but none of them worked.
“Asshole, this is for trying to assault me!” cursed Han Jin as he whacked Romon. “Hehe, if it was any other highgod, I might not be able to win. But when it comes to you, well, it cannot be easier!”
After a while, the dizzy-headed Romon gave up on trying to dodge the Golden Cudgel. He hastily pleaded to Rose, “I didn’t know that it’s you and your friends! Please stop him. We had fought alongside each other and I had even helped you escape from Buzz and Bertha. How could you just stand and watch?”
“Please spare him,” Rose pleaded while looking at Han Shuo, “I owe Romon a favor. if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have managed to escape from the Fringe. He has learned his lesson. Can you please ask him to stop?”
Han Shuo did not travel so far to kill a potential follower. Seeing that Romon has been amply punished, Han Shuo smilingly said to Han Jin, “Oi! You little vengeful brat, isn't that’s quite more than enough?”
