NOVPUBChapter 428 -396: Grim Reaper!
People fear fame as pigs fear fattening.
Once Rocky became famous with the White Demon Armor, more people knew of him, more people understood him, and more people studied him.
The captain in front of him was one such person; he had carefully studied every one of Rocky鈥檚 battles in the Arena and had even inquired in detail about how Rocky had impressively taken down five enemies in the battle against Wild Horse City. Thus, when Rocky planned to employ the same strategy to deal with everyone, the captain immediately discerned his intentions!
鈥淓veryone, scatter!鈥
While enveloped by the smoke, the captain ordered all his team members to leave the smoke鈥檚 range immediately, and he activated the magic energy detector to search for Rocky鈥檚 trace within the mist.
It might have seemed like the three squads were reluctant to take the initiative at first, but when the real fight started, nobody held back!
...
The captain knew Rocky was formidable and that the White Demon Armor wasn鈥檛 just any armor. Yet, he was a battle-hardened veteran himself, and he had some confidence in holding Rocky back, even briefly. As long as he could stall Rocky for a short while, the rest would be easy. They had three whole squads, and even if the members were no match for Rocky individually, the captain believed there was hope of dealing Rocky a deadly blow by joining forces with the other two captains.
With this idea in mind, the captain looked into the smoke, but what he saw made his brows furrow鈥攈e couldn鈥檛 spot Rocky!
Where was Rocky?
Looking around, the captain was surprised to find that Rocky wasn鈥檛 in the smoke at all?!
This outcome made him pause for an instant, but in that instant, another squad member let out a scream of agony!
Time rewound to a few seconds earlier.
When Rocky had thrown the smoke grenade to envelop a squad, the squad鈥檚 captain had immediately given the order to disperse. However, what the captain didn鈥檛 know was that the instant he gave the command, Rocky had already dashed out of the smoke鈥檚 range!
潡堭潣凁潡答潣?co
His target was never that squad!
No one had more experience in group fights than Rocky, so he had already devised a counterstrategy the moment he started his sprint: he would use the smoke grenade to tie down one squad, then set his sights on another.
So, having swiftly left the range of the smoke, Rocky took off towards another squad in a transformation.
Rocky鈥檚 actions were too sudden and unexpected, and more crucially, too fast. When he turned and charged at another squad, they couldn鈥檛 react in time, from the captain down to the members.
Closing in on a Void Magic Warrior instantaneously, Rocky reached behind his back while sprinting and grabbed the scythe; as he neared his target, he swung it in a wide sweep!
With the wave of his arm, a giant blade light over two meters in diameter appeared, crescent-shaped and seemingly solid, sweeping past the Void Magic Warrior鈥檚 chest. During this motion, Rocky didn鈥檛 even stop; after one swipe of the blade light, he flew past the warrior.
But in the instant he flew past, the Void Magic Warrior鈥檚 upper body slowly slid down, leaving him severed in two!
One blade.
One life!
The scene unfolded too rapidly, and Rocky moved too quickly, such that to the onlookers, it seemed as if they only saw him fly by the Void Magic Warrior, the scythe in his hand delivering a sweeping cut, and the warrior was cleaved in two鈥攖hat was all.
Indeed, that was all there was to it; Rocky simply moved past and claimed the life of a Void Magic Warrior!
And let鈥檚 not forget, he didn鈥檛 even stop during the process, so in the blink of an eye, he was already upon the next Void Magic Warrior!
This time, even though they were directly facing each other, Rocky鈥檚 speed didn鈥檛 decrease. As he charged forward at an extremely high velocity, he raised his scythe in an overhead chop. The massive blade light instantly plummeted from above the opponent鈥檚 head, and then, as Rocky dashed straight ahead, the Void Magic Warrior blocking his path split in half, as if making way for Rocky, cleaving right down the middle into two pieces!
鈥淲hat is he holding?鈥
鈥淩un!鈥
鈥淒on鈥檛 engage him in close combat!鈥
The instant two Void Magic Warriors were slaughtered, the rest of the surrounding combatants finally reacted, scattering in all directions like birds startled by the shot of an arrow.
It was too terrifying!
The scythe in Rocky鈥檚 hand was too terrifying!
As they watched Rocky cut down two Void Magic Warriors as if slicing through vegetables, everyone who had surrounded him was shocked. No, it wouldn鈥檛 be an overstatement to say they were scared stiff.
When they had first encircled Rocky, everyone had already taken notice of the scythe on his back. Everyone knew it was the White Demon鈥檚 new weapon, but nobody had imagined that the scythe would be so formidable鈥攖he Void Magic Warriors seemed as fragile as paper before it.
How could this be?
The two Void Magic Warriors that Rocky had slain were merely regular members, wearing Mass-Produced Armors, but even though they were Mass-Produced, they were still Void Magic Armors, and they were of the Fifth Generation no less.
Indeed, the material of the Mass-Produced Armor was somewhat weaker than that of Special Armor, but being of the Fifth Generation, their defensive power could still be guaranteed. And let鈥檚 not forget, from the moment they had surrounded Rocky, all members of the three squads had their Defensive Nets deployed and their Magic Energy Shields raised. They had used all their available defense methods to prevent Rocky from executing a swift kill.
Yet within that moment, Rocky had effortlessly slain two men鈥
How could this be!?
If these Void Magic Warriors knew the material of the scythe in Rocky鈥檚 hands, they would understand that nothing was impossible!
The scythe that Rocky now wielded was the new weapon created by Hammerfire and others鈥攖he Magic Fang Scythe!
This scythe was forged from the blade of the Knife Fox Demon and the Azure Fang.
The terror of the Knife Fox Demon goes without saying, its two scythes were even able to shred the old version of the White Demon Armor. Following the demise of the Knife Fox Demon, its blades were salvaged, and one of them was refashioned into the scythe Rocky was holding now.
Furthermore, embedded within the scythe was the Azure Fang!
The combined might of these two materials could only lead to an imaginably awesome power. This scythe retained the original sharpness of the blade, and after Pelaya had structured the Magic Energy Conduction framework, once the inscribed Mana Runes on the scythe were activated, it could become even sharper than before.
So, the impossibilities others perceived were made possible before this scythe!
In fact, these Void Magic Warriors surrounding Rocky were unaware that he hadn鈥檛 yet activated the runes on the scythe. In other words, the reason he could cleave two Void Magic Warriors in half was purely based on the scythe itself!
Although the Void Magic Warriors didn鈥檛 know this, they did understand that with Rocky holding that terrifying scythe, coupled with his even more terrifying speed, getting close to him for combat was simply out of the question. His speed was already unmatched, and the scythe鈥檚 attack range far exceeded that of the Mana Sword, making Rocky virtually invincible in close combat.
Therefore, after that, the members of all three squads, including their captains, spread out in all directions. They immediately aimed all their Magic Energy Bullets, Magic Energy Cannons, and Magic Energy Beam cannons at Rocky!
