Chapter 831 - 831 First Kill (2/2)
Following which, he stomped on the ground and destroyed the mechanical traps under his feet, obtaining freedom. Just when Atimo wanted to retreat, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and more than ten Psychics around him each greeted him with a mental attack.
In the momentary delay, a large group of Pugilists took the opportunity to charge forward, and their flaming fists crashed down on Atimo’s shield.
Boom boom boom!
The shield began flickering, and Atimo gritted his teeth. He then waved his arm, and an energy whip shot out and swept all the incoming Pugilists away.
Fighting on the ground was extremely disadvantageous to him, so Atimo tried to take flight again. However, he had only flown a few meters into the air before feeling a powerful sense of obstruction, which slowed his movements down greatly.
Raising his head to look up, there were countless magical formations floating in the sky to prevent him from flying.
It was impossible for Grade B Mages to stop him even if they stacked their formations, but it would take a long time for Atimo to weave through the anti-flying region. He did not dare do that as it would turn him into a live target.
Furthermore, even if he was able to fly, the enemy could still chase after him if he did not wipe them out. He did not think that his own flying speed was faster than a spaceship, and he would not be able to escape since he was stuck on the planet.
Both parties were locked in a long battle, and Atimo could feel a sense of fatigue.
He could not remember how many he had killed already. It could be tens of thousands, and the friendly fire among the enemy had probably killed even more people than him.
“A bunch of maniacs!” Atimo spat out a mouthful of spittle and dragged his heavy body to continue fighting.
His energy was already running out, and his body felt heavier and heavier by the second.
“It seems I don’t stand a chance…” Atimo’s heart sank, and he became even more ferocious.
At least the enemy suffered more casualties! He had to drag as many people to die with him as possible!
At this moment, Atimo avoided another wave of fire and looked around to observe the densely packed enemy around him. All of a sudden, he felt something extremely strange about the battle.
After fighting for such a long time, he should have killed many enemies, and the enemies obviously did not have any reinforcements. Why did it seem that the number of enemies had not changed at all‽
Atimo was stunned.
In his world view, death was certain, and there was no such thing as revival. Thus, he did not pay close attention to the number of enemies that he had to face. Furthermore, the battlefield was extremely chaotic, and there were thousands and thousands of enemies. He did not have the time to recognize the faces of every individual. Together with the fact that he was trapped in a dangerous situation, he only managed to notice that something was wrong.
After realizing this, Atimo began to observe the people around him carefully, and his expression changed greatly.
“This bunch of people… are actually undying‽”
Atimo’s expression changed drastically, and he had a look of disbelief on his face. A deep sense of despair filled his heart and spread out to his entire body.
No wonder… No wonder they don’t care about the fatalities. It turns out that this group of people don’t even know the concept of death…
He had thought that he was causing severe damage to the enemy, but it turned out that it was only a naïve thought. His own retaliation was a pointless struggle.
If it was only because he had to face a large number of enemies, Atimo would still have had the desire to fight them to the death. But after discovering that the enemy could still revive, Atimo’s mental state completely collapsed. He fell into complete despair, and his will to fight completely disappeared.
“Argh!” Atimo’s final trace of hope was destroyed, and he let out a roar to the heavens. He then burst forth with all his remaining strength without reserving the slightest bit of energy.
Boom!
More than ten thick pillars of lights swept throughout the battlefield, and all those who came into contact with one were instantly killed. Just this attack alone had wiped out more than ten thousand players.
“Take note! Everyone drop! This should be the final phase of the boss. We are going to enter the final struggle!”
All the parties hurriedly dropped to the ground, and the pillar of light floated past their heads. However, the burning energy source still caused some damage to them.
The light pillars disappeared quickly, and Atimo’s body shook unsteadily from side to side as though he would fall over at any moment.
Bang!
A cannonball sent Atimo crashing to the ground. As all the players witnessed this scene, they hurriedly got up and began spamming all their attacks at Atimo.
Atimo, who had lost his will to fight back, was like a doll for everyone to snatch. His limbs were quickly torn apart, and his body was tortured by the players. His eyes gradually became unfocused, and the players around him were like demons in his eyes.
Before his death, Atimo suddenly imagined the faces of all the players becoming his face.
He suddenly thought about his many years of robbing and pillaging.
Could this be his retribution?
Puchi!
The next moment, his head was ripped off by someone, and his sight turned gray.
“Hahaha! The reward for killing him is ours!” a player from Dynasty cheered.
Second Prince then waved Atimo’s head excitedly, and King Admiral shook his head by the side.
“Tsk, it actually belongs to Dynasty.”
“I died three times but didn’t even manage to touch a single hair on his body. What a loss.”
“Why don’t we get rid of some over here?”
The professional players of the other teams looked at Dynasty greedily.
Vodka and Captain Old Henry were disappointed that the reward of the boss had been snatched by the large clubs. Dynasty would probably be a powerful enemy again during the upcoming Pro League.
During the battle previously, they had aimed their attacks at the Chinese players and wanted to pretend that it was accidental friendly fire. However, they also realized that they had suffered from an unusually large amount of friendly fire, and each of them had died an average of three times. They were probably the targets of the Chinese players as well.
Although the ordinary players did not receive the reward, they were still extremely excited.
Atimo was the first Calamity Grade Super that had died by their hands!
This was the first Calamity Grade kill for the players!
On the other side, Han Xiao had also received a report from Phillip and heaved a sigh of relief.
“They finally killed a Calamity Grade…”
If it was a Calamity Grade like Ember, it would have been impossible for the players to kill him regardless of how many times they revived.
However, Atimo did not have such a perverse ability and was only an ordinary Calamity Grade Super. Phillip had caused the spaceship to crash, but the players had their spaceships to chase after him. Thus, Atimo did not have any route of retreat and had no choice but to face the players. Since the players had the strength of a Grade B Super, their strength had achieved a qualitative change, and Atimo could only die with regrets.
In Han Xiao’s eyes, this event would be a milestone that belonged to the players, and it was also the turning point for the players’ thoughts.
In his previous life, the players had only managed to get rid of a Calamity Grade Super during Version 4.0. After that, the players knew that they could have the strength of an ordinary Calamity Grade Super, and their mental state had a subtle change. They became even more confident in themselves… and more death seeking.
This was something that could not be avoided as the players were extremely opinionated. However, this influence was limited at the moment. Han Xiao’s personal combat strength and organization were sufficient to suppress the little demons in all the players.
He had intentionally allowed the players to deal with Atimo so that they could get rid of a Calamity Grade Super as members of the Black Star Army. If they did not have Phillip’s help, they would not have been able to stop Atimo from escaping, and it would have been impossible for them to kill the first Calamity Grade boss.
As such, this first kill was the fruit of the players’ effort and also the strength of the faction. As long as the players understood this, their sense of belonging to the faction would only increase.
Furthermore, this first kill was a milestone event and a combined activity of the army. Through this incident, this would tie even more players to the army.
