The Ultimate Evolution

Chapter 21: Swift breakthrough

After Sheyan rushed in and occupied first place, Mogensha and Reef immediately followed suit; resulting in the Illume-union falling behind. Although rushing head first boasted of more risk, it also provided greater benefits. After Sheyan and the rest charged up, two RDA workers immediately glanced over, before instantly turning to flee without looking back.

Naturally, the bunch of contestants sprinted in pursuit. At present, the speed dominance of agile close combatants was fully displayed. Within a span of just 50 metres, Sheyan and party were thrown far behind by Demondream and another short-dagger user.

But at this moment, the two fleeing RDA workers suddenly leapt and hid behind a writing desk on their lateral side; before collapsing a row of bookshelf on the way, as books scattered in all directions. 20 metres ahead of them, a metal door suddenly opened, as two black muzzles poked out took aim.

When the muzzles surfaced, an abrupt and unexplainable cold sensation jolted up Sheyan’s spine. He immediately transmitted a warning to the party channel, as the 3 immediately darted towards both lateral sides.

Twin dazzling and captivating rays shot out from the muzzles, one of them directly piercing and whizzing towards Demondream! Then, the two muzzles swiftly retracted behind the door, as if trying to continue hiding in ambush.

As those oddly blue rays whizzed towards her, Demondream suddenly metamorphosed into a regiment of unfathomable violet mist; as though her physical body had been displaced. As the bluish ray whizzed through her, it vanished into incorporeal nothingness. Then Demondream’s body re-congealed, as only her complexion was noticeably slightly pale.

The other bluish ray shot towards the short-dagger user. The contestant immediately blocked with his dagger! Without refracting or ricocheting away, the bluish ray struck against the pointed blade of the dagger. Not even a tremendous boom or explosion happened, as it merely melted over the dagger like snow.

Immediately following, an indistinct faint blue started enveloping the surface of the dagger rapidly, before steadfastly contaminating that contestant’s entire body!

That fellow released a tragic and abrupt howl, as his body sprung up straightly before beginning to inflate fanatically like a ball. Finally, he exploded into a burst of shallow bluish-blood mist! Such a scene was incomparably miserable, brimming with bitter brutality!

As the blood mist dispersed, an upright figure with robes fluttering in the air flashed forward. Her face congealed like frost, as she raised her left arm. Her tenderly fair and thin fingers instantly clenched into a fist.

Following that, indescribable colorless dazzling rays seeped out through the cracks of her fingers. The rays appeared like gravels, or rain, or tears as they gracefully glided towards the ground, rapidly drifted forward upon landing.

Before the sprinkles of rays stopped for a rest, Zi forcefully punched her left fist forward! From afar, behind the veranda, a RDA worker suddenly screamed and surged towards them; his hand still grasping onto a powerful oddly firearm. Beneath, the worker’s legs were shockingly constricted by unbelievable speckles of colourless rays.

Force Convergence-grip!

Undoubtedly, after the RDA worker was pulled in, he was instantly swarmed and thoroughly destroyed.

At this moment, the other RDA worker leapt out, pointing the black muzzle of his ruthless firearm towards Zi. Yet this woman was fully prepared, and pointed out her left arm! Like a thunderbolt strike, the RDA worker turned senseless momentarily, completely unmoving where he stood. One could even see blood spurting out from his eye sockets, nostrils and mouth, drenching his entire glass mask. This fellow had already calculated his actions before leaping out, but was ultimately finished off without any conclusion!

Previously, Sheyan was also the fortunate receiver of her ‘Force Needle-explosion’; at present, he could tell she casted it on this unlucky brat. Seizing the opportunity of that RDA worker’s lifelessness, Demondream wafted forward in a myriad of incorporeal mist ahead of Zi. The entire mist wafting moment seemed long, but also seemed short; but when she reappeared in her solid form, the RDA worker was now covered with a gruesome outpour of blood, as he collapsed sluggishly.

Naturally, Zi who had executed two formidable abilities felt rather exhausted; with tiny footsteps, she had once again returned to the surroundment and protection of her fellow contestants. Her long gown danced around her, blossoming like a flower; indifferent and unhurried while she subdued her foes. Her graceful bearing was calm, a beautiful tranquility; like the dying leaves of summer paving the way for autumn. It was indeed an unforgettable impression to others.

After this sudden ambush, everyone didn’t dare to be careless anymore, thus allowing Archeaphill and Reef to lead the way. As they reached a cornering bend at the end, a clamorous collision of metals reverberated from both sides. Then a fully armed RDA sturdy worker charged out shockingly, his arms supporting a peculiar circular firearm; black deep barrels pointing over as he marched in with large steps, pressing the trigger with great strength!

Countless blazing-red tongues spat out from the muzzle, pummeling against Archeaphill’s greatshield. Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Chaotic sounds emerged, along with random splashes of innumerable sparks; painting a magnificently gorgeous scene filled with deathly maliciousness!

Archeaphill had experienced a hundred battles, and he could tell the RDA worker ahead didn’t possess great strength; this opening was merely opportunistic timing as well as terrain superiority. Currently, Archeaphill retained many various methods to counterattack. He breathed in deeply, but became fiercely stunned to realize a searing pain throbbing at his chest. Hiis heart welled with shock, because he had instead been struck by a bullet that had penetrated through his greatshield!

That gun possessed such penetrative ability!

Fortunately at this time, the contestants around him had begun retaliating. Mogensha and another two long range combatants simultaneously acted, as blazing hot bullets swivelled towards the fully armed RDA worker. Although he was fully clad in solid armour, incessant bullet collisions of “Dang Dang Dang!” could be heard. His advancement had been utterly stalled.

Overwhelmed by a bombardment of firepower, small cracks split surfaced over the RDA worker’s armoured knee. In a flash, 7-8 bullets pierced then into his left knee cap! Even though his fleshy defence wasn’t low, it wasn’t enough to withstand consecutive gunshots. Roaring agonizingly, blood and flesh sprayed into the air, as his left leg was forcefully decimated. Following that, his chest and abdomen received consecutive gunshots, blood gushed out like a fountain as he was swiftly dispatched.

After slaying several RDA workers, it was clear their relationship with this powerful large company had deteriorated to foes. These few enemies dropped key loots; the majority were white grade and light blue grade. Apart from a light blue grade armour, the rest were random dregs; their only worth was to be sold.

When the group rushed into the core control room of the valkyrie, they discovered that the original residents here had already fled cleanly; only leaving a complete mess of scattered files and documents. Suddenly, a whistling scream shook the space, Mogensha scrambled forward to observe through the cockpit window; where he immediately witnessed a small lifeboat (shuttle) spitting out faint bluish embers, as it sped into the sky.

“F****! They’ve escaped!”

Sable fumed furiously! Instead, Sheyan gently shook his head and voiced out.

“If those bastards wanted to run, they would’ve done so earlier already; why would they entice us to drag for time here and wait for reinforcements? That was probably a desperate contingency that they had no choice to. Which means, we can confirm that what we seek is still on this shuttle.”

“Moreover.” Sheyan paused briefly, cooly continuing. “They won’t be able to escape. Do you really believe this steel monster of a valkyrie crashed due to machinery malfunction? Furthermore, you can see the dense mass of frightening Mountain Banshees covering the skies.”

Not even a minute after Sheyan spoke, someone at the forefront of the window immediately yelled out.

“Look! They are under attack!”

10 seconds later, a thunderous explosion boomed out. The explosions didn’t cease; probably the shuttle’s random parts suffering consecutive explosions as well.

The bunch of contestants glanced at Sheyan unilaterally. Instead, Zi faintly snubbed him, her impression of him lowering by half.

This was because Zi already knew the RDA workers couldn’t escape. However, for such matters with a fixed outcome no matter if it was said or not, a truly intelligent person would comprehend the logic of trampling underneath the obscure shadows of the light; definitely not garnering unnecessary attention or vigilance. What she didn’t notice was that after Sheyan observed her expression, his vision flickered slightly.

Yuan Zhan of the Illume-union appeared to be an IT computer expert, he stepped forward as he strolled towards the control desk upfront, and started operating it; his fingers hammering against the keyboard, producing loud clicking sounds. After a brief pause, his low voice spilled out.

“It’s here!”

After speaking, he pulled down a lever by the side.

Billowing gas sprayed out, as gusts of white fog sprayed out from the exterior of the valkyrie; a surplus storage compartment. Heavy metallic creaking proceeded closely.

An enormous storage compartment was unlatched outside, as it slid down from an inclined plane weightily. The storage compartment was at least a dozen metres long, 3 metres broad and seemed to be no less than 20 tons in weight. Such a transported good of immense scale was indeed something a tiny lifeboat could not carry.

Meanwhile on the outskirts, every wild beasts suddenly started howling fanatically. Abandoning their opponents on hand, they sprinted like maniacs towards that storage compartment. At this moment, Sheyan and his trio were shocked to discover, the amount of tier-3 legendary creatures had currently amounted to more than 20. There was even a tier-4 Thanator surfacing as their beastly leader!!

Seeing the current state now, Sheyan’s deductions were indeed correct. The instigating factor for the beast horde, wasn’t their daily lives being disrupted or the allure of blood and food! It was RDA workers stirring the wrath of the ruler of this planet!

White fog pervaded into the air; that steel container was swiftly struck opened, and finally exposed the items stored within……..
