Chapter 266 Battle for the Cape 9
Feng Bujue was not going to stay to experience any moves from this large monster before him, not even a normal attack… So, he took out the Endless Grenade Box and tossed the two grenades inside the box at the stone golem while he swiftly retreated to prevent himself being involved in the explosion. The location where the grenade exploded had also been considered before. It was between the blood golem and King of Shadows, so both would be harmed at the same time.
Bang bang…
The attack was surprisingly successful. Half of the Golem's body was blasted into pieces, and King of Shadows was injured by the shrapnel. It looked like a serious injury.
"Not bad, these two explosions caused thirty-seven percent damage." King of Shadows' tone showed that he was calm. "Unfortunately… this kind of injury will disappear very soon."
Once the dust settled, Feng Bujue saw that the Blood Golem's body was rapidly reconstructing, and it was the same for the King of Shadows. The shrapnel that pierced into his body was forced out by the healed wounds.
"Not only the Life Points but also the regen power is shared," Feng Bujue said. "In other words… to kill this man, I have to cause large damage on both at the same time."
"Indeed," King of Shadows said, shaking his head. "That's why I said those outside of the top ten on the combat ranking will not be able to beat me. You people do not possess the damage to kill this Blood Golem."
As he finished, the golem raised its arm and swung it at Feng Bujue. Feng Bujue saw this and leaped into the air. He performed a clean somersault and escaped the attack. When the pressure caused by the attack swept Feng Bujue's back, he could feel a gust of wind blowing at it, and it was strong enough to push him back several inches.
Just through this brief interaction, it destroyed Feng Bujue's intention of facing the enemy head on. He believed… even his special attack, Kyaaa!, would not create enough damage to harm it, random skills like Ultimate Hellfire Wavemotion Cannon aside. So, how was he going to win this fight?
"This is too ridiculous… It is normal for it to possess a large attack range and heavy damage. After all, it is that large, but it is cheating that it moves so fast too," Feng Bujue grumbled. Even though he was shocked, he had not activated Body Enhancement Spell because he was not too slow. After all, he did evade the attack, did he not?
King of Shadows did not mind that the attack missed. He held the blade and approached the enemy with the golem. Feng Bujue retreated and raised the Death Poker. He tossed out another Royal Flush. His target was still the King of Shadows, but this time, the man was too lazy to even summon the golem to block the attack. King of Shadows allowed the five cards to tear away part of his cheek and used that gory face to smile and say, "Hah… Like others who have lost to me, you must have a misunderstanding about the statement 'sharing the same Life Points bar'.
"Perhaps you think that attacking me will cause a higher degree of damage compared to attacking the golem."
He reached out his hand and extended all five fingers.
"But unfortunately, my body only takes up five percent of the total health. So even if you decimate me, the loss will only be five percent… Then, as long as I can draw five percent of the golem's health, a new me can be reborn, and this five percent health can be regenerated instantly."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue said. "That means that… to kill you, not only do I have to destroy the golem but I also need to kill you at the same time. Or else… with your five percent health remaining, you can slowly reconstruct the golem from the pool of blood."
He instantly hypothesized about the man's other power.
"You have a fast reaction," King of Shadows said darkly. "Many people failed because of that…"
"Hmm… Now that is interesting," Feng Bujue replied. "Then why didn't you separate from the golem? With your amazing tracking ability, you could control him remotely to kill others while you are hiding somewhere else? Even if he is destroyed, he can be regenerated endlessly. This can only mean that…"
Hearing that, King of Shadows' face shifted. "You sure are one dangerous character…"
Feng Bujue's eyes sharpened like it could look through the man's soul. "I know why. You share… something else with the golem, right?"
At that moment, the golem suddenly rushed forward and attacked with a stomp. Feng Bujue had no other choice but to retreat again. He could only run but not block
"I was confused when the golem raised its arm out from the pool to block me. The creature didn't receive any order, and its head hadn't even come out yet, but it would do something like that…" Even though Feng Bujue was cornered, he was at ease. "When the grenade exploded, the golem didn't avoid it due to its large size. That was understandable, but you didn't evade it too. That is too strange… What if my two grenades killed both you and the golem?
"I believe… the reason is you are unable to leave this monster." Feng Bujue pointed at the Blood Golem. "It is like your shadow, a large shadow with a corporeal form. Therefore, you do not need to use words to order it but control it through psychic connection."
He stepped on the wall and evaded another blow that swept at the ground.
"I am quite impressed." King of Shadows smiled lightly. "You managed to come up with so much in such a short amount of time, but there is one thing wrong. You have overestimated my creature's AI. I cannot control its every move. I can only give it simple orders through mental connection when I am within a certain distance to it. Like… 'kill this man before me'. Then it will perform that order in its own way."
"So," Feng Bujue said, "you are unable to use this summoned creature at a long distance…"
"Humph… so what if you know that?" King of Shadows said. "Do you think that limitation will be the basis for you to beat me? This Blood Golem is a summoning skill that requires a Level B Summoning Mastery. Theoretically speaking, you have to have at least a level B mastery in one of the fighting skills to fight. Do you have that capability at level 28, Feng Bujue?"
"Ha! Hahaha…" There was no mirth on Feng Bujue's face, and his fake laugh sounded more like a roar.
"No!" he admitted that shamelessly.
The next second, Feng Bujue turned and charged into the factory, screaming bloody murder. "Help me! Someone is trying to kill me! Dr. Fries, help!"
