Chapter 687: Deinonychus
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Amidst the chaotic scattering of glass shards, a light green dinosaur of roughly 1 metre height and 1.5 metre length collapsed onto the ground, 5-6 metres right ahead of the contestants, with a thunderous ‘thump’!
The ground tremored briefly, revealing that its weight was heftier than it looked.
The mouth of this light green dinosaur was slightly hooked downwards like that of a vulture, looking short and weak. From the way it effortlessly smashed through the KFC window, one understood that its might was actually exceedingly astronomical, and its skin equally tough.
Initially, it looked like an ostrich with its atrophy front limbs and disarrayed bloodied fur. Instead, the thick and solid rear legs were more developed than matured kangaroos, and as its legs overlapped while leaping forward, it appeared as though it was flying; like a hybrid between an ostrich and kangaroo!
All of a sudden, the light green dinosaur fixated its glare onto the trio and unleashed a piercing screech with its stretched opened jaws! Behind its blood reeking teeth, its throat squirmed with insatiable thirst.
Its roaring screech exhibited its savage and ruthless nature vividly, and though its mouth looked small, it could widen excessively due to its specially developed cheekbones. Its mouth was filled with razor-sharp knife like teeth, where a layer of sawtooth spikes occupied the frontal periphery of its teeth.
This fully indicated that it could tear through any hunted prey, before devouring large chunks of flesh. One didn’t have to elaborate further on its destructive strength.
When its roaring screech echoed out, trampling sounds of glass shattering and smashing aside vehicles resounded from all corners of the place. Evidently, its comrades were swiftly circling in.
Sheyan immediately calmly commanded.
"We’ll break up! See that citibank building on the left? You guys head over at once and familiarize yourselves with the area. The construction standards of banks should be tougher than usual and wouldn’t collapse so easily! We’ll be in deep sheet once these idiots commence their assault!"
Sheyan glanced towards the sky while ordering. Although the weather was gloomy, it was still two in the afternoon and visibility remained relatively clear.
Instantly, several bulging cyan veins sprouted out from Sheyan’s chest. Like plant roots, those veins curled around his body, and even caused all the veins beneath his skin to turn prominently cyan!
Simultaneously, a regiment of dull vomit green mist shockingly fumigated out from his body. The mist appeared extremely strange, as though a plant was incessantly pollinating and out pollens into the atmosphere. Though the pollens appeared rather light, it lingered in the air without dispersing for a long time!
Even more queer, when the murky green mist of pollens contacted surrounding vehicle wreckages or rubble, faint sounds of sizzling could be heard. Soon after, the wreckages and rubble emitted foul smelling corroding bubbles, as though sulfuring acid had been sprayed onto them.
Sheyan’s lips curled into a sinister smirk.
"Be the first consecration of my body’s ‘Stairway of the Sun’! ‘Corrosynthesis’ activate!"
By now, Reef and Mogensha were barreling towards the nearby citibank building with breakneck pace. From Sheyan’s calm demeanor, they knew he inevitably had a plan.
Moreover, based on their sheer quantities, the offensive capabilities of those dinosaurs definitely wouldn’t be that lethal. With Sheyan’s innate ability that could forcibly reduce damage by 40 points, he definitely had more options in dealing with the edge of the blade.
The citibank building had comparatively lesser entrances that other buildings, thereby allowing them to concentrate firepower towards a specific direction. Brother Black would then be able to display gunfire superiority, and be more at ease when assailing enemies.
Concurrently when Sheyan activated his ‘Corrosynthesis’ ability, that first dinosaur began stampeding towards Reef and Mogensha.
(TL: Refresher on ability: Corrosynthesis - corroding gas will discharge from your mouth, nose and pores; dealing 10 - 50 constant damages to enemies in a 5 metres radius [regardless of any damage reduction, minimal constant damage pegged to 5 true damage])
With its short but explosive legs, the dinosaur charged in with frightening acceleration. Except, with Sheyan break off from Reef and Mogensha, why would he allow the dinosaur to pass through so easily? Stomping forth comfortably, Sheyan raised his hands in resistance.
That dinosaur roared furiously as it chomped down viciously towards Sheyan’s right arm. Simultaneously, both its robust front limbs fiercely swiped at Sheyan’s belly like a cat. At the tip of those limbs, were three incomparably incisive and elongated curved claws.
Those elongated claws initially appeared analogous to wolverine claws, and in unison with its incredibly explosive muscles, it could effortlessly slice apart the enemy’s abdomen.
This was one of the greatest headaches of the dinosaur race - the Deinonychus.
Roaming about in packs, these Deinonychus possessed adequate killing potency with their impressively sharp claws, and small but nimble bodies. To a colossal carnivorous dinosaur, the flesh from killing a single Deinonychus wouldn\'t even be sufficient to be meat stuck in between teeth. On the contrary, these pesky Deinonychus would lacerate them annoyingly with their sharp claws, and when a frenzied legion of Deinonychus starts to swarm, even a Tyrannosaurus would retreat. One could simply imagine their dreadfulness!
The Deinonychus chomped down onto Sheyan’s arm and tore into his flesh. If it was an ordinary person, it wouldn’t be simply having a chunk of flesh being torn off. Instead, flesh would be dismembered and the wounds fatal.
Instead, Sheyan swiftly clenched his fist and contracted his muscles. When the Deinonychus drilled its teeth into his flesh, it felt as though it had just bit on rubber; meeting with impassable resistance after merely sinking a centimetre deep. In contrast, its ripping motion caused a few of its teeth to twist and drop off.
Nevertheless, the Deinoncychus’s twin forelimbs were lethal as they cleaved down from his belly. Sheyan didn’t dare to experience the feeling of having his eggs sliced and quickly retreated half a step, while the incisive claws carved out two deep and bloodied wounds.
"The Deinonychus’ claws possesses the defence negating property and managed to deal 70 points of theoretical damage to me. Fortunately, my innate ability can suppress it. Reef, you must be careful."
Sheyan hastily reported his first hand analysis at once.
"Excluding that, the power of its bite is rather limited. If it’s truly impossible to defend, let it bite you instead of clawing you."
At present, Sheyan’s and Mogensha’s probing abilities were becoming increasingly limited. This was mainly due to them entering a world where Growth-Hunters had also entered, where the difficulty could be described as a realm higher than their expected prowess. Such pressure was incredibly astounding, and Sheyan could only resort to such methods to accumulate intelligence on the capabilities of creatures in this world.
Since this Deinonychus had lost its value, Sheyan no longer acted cordially. Coincidentally, his ‘Zergling Rush’ ability had been activated, and Sheyan hacked forth with his long saber!
Although the Deinonychus of this world were meant to go against Growth-Hunters, Sheyan’s ‘+7 West’ long saber was an exceptionally outstanding weapon. In addition to various boosts to his damage through formidable abilities like his ‘Flesh Explosion’ ability, after ‘+7 West’ had completed his three strike routine, the Deinonychus was squealing agonizingly. Blood gushed out from its hacked wounds as it tumbled and rolled consecutively; where its tail had been semi-chopped through.
Yet at this moment, the distant trampling sounds pressed in like showering raindrops, and a piercing fishy stench pervaded the atmosphere. Several other Deinonychus finally arrived, and upon seeing their wounded comrade, their eyes geared up for slaughter and turned crimson red. Their muscles swelled up excessively from their skin, and contracted with explosive ferocity. The swelling blood vessels circulating through their muscles impressed a insurmountable might of carnal.
When they saw blood, these dinosaurs became ludicrously bloodlusted!
Sheyan didn’t dare to be reckless. After all, the stomping claws of these Deinonychus were adequately substantial. When they scurried near him, Sheyan instantly hurled out a flask of ‘Stinkbug Curse-mix’ which was specially used to delay opponents.
A powerful shockwave blasted through and halted those Deinonychus in their tracks. A dark violet mist permeated out and seeped deep into the skin of these Deinonychus, causing their mobility to distinctly plunge.
Seizing this chance, Sheyan turned and fled towards the citibank building.
Yet how would those Deinonychus simply abandon their meal? Naturally, they pursued. But after having their speeds forcibly plunged by 30%, and after Sheyan drank a mouthful of ‘Endless Spirited Vodka’, he obviously fled with speedy ease.
By the time those Deinonychus escaped the toxic fumigation, Reef had charged up in response and unleashed his ‘Shattering Cardiac Roar’!
The world’s difficulty was relatively normal to this Growth-Hunter, hence, those Deinonychus couldn’t escape from the fetters of this ‘Shattering Cardiac Roar’ and could only hobble in pursuit.
Only after Sheyan and Reef finally fled into the bank, did those pursuing monsters regained their usual movement speed and chased with utmost fury.
At present, Reef and Sheyan each guarded the intersecting entrance of the bank, while Brother Black had located sufficient cover for himself.
Therefore, with Reef guarding the main entrance of the bank and Sheyan providing him with MT assistance, an occurrence of two men guarding a pass where thousands cannot pass occurred.
No doubt, those Deinonychus remained terrifyingly deadly as they launched assaults without fear of getting injured.
Yet in no time, Reef had assembled his full squad of five sage-scarabs with his shield, while Mogensha’s twin viperwolves were pouncing around with brutal ferocity.
Concurrently, Reef was consistently flogging sage-scarabs with his whip, to induce the benefits for summoned creatures.
Meanwhile, Sheyan’s vile ‘Corrosynthesis’ ability remained constantly dealing toxin area of effect damages…
