The Ultimate Evolution

Chapter 759: Firm shake!

Of course, regardless of how impressive a dark-green set was, it also presented a list of frightening negativities.

Firstly, movement speed will be substantially reduced. Moreover, back defences will be weakened to 0; where all damage dealt would not be reduced and the effect takes precedence.

Next, agility would be reduced by 8 points, while strength and perceptive sense lowered by 3 points. Furthermore, total MP will be temporarily reduced by 10%.

Lastly, activation of various abilities would still deduct a fixed MP value based on one's maximum possible MP.

To summarize the two set equipment, they skyrocketed one's combat prowess but simultaneously, taxed MP at an insanely frightening rate!

A ordinary mage type contestant wouldn't be able to exhibit the greatest potential of this set, because their MP will be utterly sucked dry.

Thus, Sheyan's goal of rampantly upgrading party skill 'Asylum', was not only to bolster Zi's survivability, but with the bigger goal of enhancing her MP capacity. Without the awkward fear of running out of firepower, would she cause her foes to beat their chest and stamp their feet in frustration.

Little did Sheyan know, upon activating her 'Passionless Dragonforce Bloodline', her MP regeneration speed would soar to a frightening extent! This coincidentally compensated for the set equipment's last shortcoming.

Zi quickly regained her composure from her previous shock. In a flash, now possessing sufficient confidence and strength, she transformed back into an arrogant maiden in control of all things; emanating an air of intelligence to accomplish everything skillfully with ease. Except, when glancing occasionally at Sheyan, a strand of unexplainably ambiguous charm surfaced.

"I believe you now, you really can stand on equal footing when facing Zeus and Skull." Zi gazed at Sheyan before she sincerely whispered. "I'm sorry."

"But…." Her lips abruptly curled into an enchanting smirk as her eyes fluttered.

"The two equipments are soul binding, but their value is minimally worth three dark-gold grade equipments. If the set is completed, its value will spiral up endlessly. But once I adorn this set, it will be mine forever, can you bear that?"

Sheyan issued a slight smile but his eyes contained a frivolous craftiness. He pointed to his lips and earnestly answered.

"You've already repaid that debt."

Without a doubt, upon raising the subject of their passionate kiss, Zi's icy image was shattered instantly again. She blushed slightly and rolled her eyes, before storing the two equipment into her personal storage.

However, even Sheyan couldn't guess the first thing she did after acquiring the set....

Zi unexpectedly employed her own military authority and blatantly altered the look of the 'Massive Ndipaya Augustmask', after squandering some utility points...… she transformed the massive malevolent-looking wooden mask into a 'Queen Bee' masquerade mask. Zi probably loved this image but hadn't a suitable mask equipment to display this. After adorning this look, she exuberated a mystifying and majestic flare.

"Don't know why, but I suddenly can't wait for them to arrive." Zi suddenly smiled at Sheyan.

At this moment, Sheyan's expression turned solemn.

"If possible, aim to slaughter members from a single party."

Her gaze shone as she replied.

"Breaking the equilibrium between both parties?"

"Indeed." Sheyan released a sly but pensive look. "Be it Skull Party or Glory Party, they both ultimately seek profits, the profits from killing us. However, mutual killing between each other is another form of profiting. Once the power balance between both sides falls apart…...the lion will never befriend a sheep. That, will be our chance!"

"Yes, my exact sentiments." Zi nodded and said. "Also, once their attempts are continuously thwarted, they will charge in with Zeus and Skull storming the fronts together. That will be our most dangerous situation."

Sheyan frowned.

"If that happens, then you must improvise your battle tactic! It will come up to the most basic of situation, if the spear can successfully penetrate the shield, then we win! But if you fail...."

Zi then interrupted him.

"They will never charge in together!"

Upon listening to the resolute conviction beneath her words, Sheyan's heart instantly soothed and he exhaled gently.

Frankly speaking, when thrown in such a desperate impasse, Sheyan would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. Still, he chose not to display any bit of nervousness. Otherwise, her fighting concentration may be diverted or she may lose confidence, which will be a tremendous blow to them.

Right now, without mentioning the sharp increase of battle prowess, her confidence and fighting spirit had been restored to the optimum! That alone, was worth all his painstaking efforts.

Zi suddenly asked.

"But Seaman, there's an extremely fatal flaw in this set equipment, don't you know?"

Sheyan chuckled and replied.

"Of course I know. All your rear defenses are equivalent to zero! Moreover, your movement speed is so horrendous, once the enemy draws near, you are as good as dead. Nevertheless, it is impossible for them to come near, at least, within a short span of time, and even more so to strike our backs! Doctor Hammond wasn't gonna toy with his own life when designing the place.."

"There are no absolutes in life." Zi gazed deeply into his eyes. "Doctor Hammond wasn't a strengthened contestant."

Sheyan's lips curled up but decisively answered.

"If your rear is ever threatened, I shall be your strongest stronghold!"

All of a sudden, a thunderous boom echoed in from afar. The sound was terribly sickening, as though a galvanized iron sheet was being torn apart forcefully. The ground trembled as a sound of metal and concrete mutually rubbing screeched out.

A massive sliding door, comparable to an underground fort, finally succumbed and collapsed.

The gates, were breached.

At present, there were 12 minutes and 7 seconds left to Sheyan's and Zi's successful return.

Not a single individual charged in. Everyone alive understood the logic of 'the shot hits the bird that poke its head out'.

At present, no one dared to belittle Sheyan anymore. An individual who could casually toss out a dark-gold grade monster was definitely a fierce and decisive person. Most possibly, he may retaliate and inflict a fatal blow on his first move!

However, when a wider gap was crunched through, the expected attack didn't arrive. Instead, a black entrance into the base surfaced, as though it was the mouth of an insatiably large beast wanting to devour all human life.

Skull's eyes flickered as he asked.

"Err Judas? Is your report accurate? Could they have already escaped?"

Judas marched forward and respectfully replied.

"I can confirm, though I haven't been here, I've personally seen Doctor Hammond's base design before. There isn't an alternative escape route, he went all in or death for the construction of this base."

The Metals Professor abruptly butted in.

"Meaning there'll be numerous traps and defensive mechanisms here? Could that wench be relying on those to drag time out?"

Judas swung around and glared at the Metals Professor's chest with extremely lecherous eyes. He offered a sly smirk and replied.

"Ohhh gorgeous female warrior, the mechanisms and snares are mostly completed; however, the main components or energy supply required to initiate them….at least 80-90% of them were carried by the submarine we rode."

Zeus interrupted with a deep voice.

"Judas, you wish to die?"

Judas harrumphed coldly and casted one last greedy and malicious stare at Fu Lyanna's perky chest. He then grumpily turned away.

Seeing his own subordinate being threatened, Skull looked over and disdainfully uttered.

"Zeus, your woman dresses in a revealing manner, and you don't expect my men to peep?"

An indescribable surge of killing intent instantly oozed out from near the silent Zeus. Indeed, it was Aziz who just arrived!

Fortunately, at this moment, a pale faced Finarsih stepped forward.

"Skull, are you still intending to act according to the contracted pact?"

Skull snorted.

"Of course, but your boss is too sensitive! Let's go!"

Although this portion of the base was still relatively broad and the contestants were wary of a swanky ambush, they were still, after all, powerful Growth-Hunters. Furthermore, with the assistance of Judas and Finarsih, the group sauntered through the base with a stern formation while examining for the hiding hostiles.

While investigating blind spots, they heightened their vigilance, and naturally loosened it when strolling through the broader main passageway.

Because nobody could anticipate this, nobody even dared to think of this....

Two measly contestants would actually dare to unbridledly collide head on with two indomitable MT parties!!!

Patrice, who scouted the way ahead, similarly didn't consider this fact.
