Chapter 903 - 898: Claim to the Final Blow

Chapter 903: Chapter 898: Claim to the Final Blow

The Naga Leader leaned on the golden trident, blood flowing profusely.

"What a great opportunity!"

In the Shadow Fang Arena, the Silver Medal Gladiator "Skillful Hand" Oubo flashed and appeared overhead of the Naga Leader.

As his two hands raised, hundreds of thistle-shaped dark weapons shot out.

Bu Bu...

The thistle dark weapons hit the snake scales on the Naga Leader’s surface, drawing faint traces of blood, but due to the inherent robust passive defense of the scales, the weapons didn’t penetrate deeply, leaving shallow marks before falling off.

But "Skillful Hand" Oubo used this barrage attack merely for probing.

After confirming that the Naga Leader could not move, "Skillful Hand" Oubo directly swapped positions with one of the dark weapons, almost like instant teleportation, sneaking behind the Naga Leader, with a bone blade vibrating at high speed, stabbing towards the back fin on the Naga Leader’s neck!

This stab seemed to pierce into raw cowhide, only embedding a few inches before it could no longer proceed.

The Naga Leader turned around and grabbed with one hand!

"Skillful Hand" Oubo wanted to perform position shifting to dodge again, but his legs, without him knowing, were already entangled by blue watery chains! Under priority suppression, even attempting to use skills to escape doesn’t work.

"Skillful Hand" Oubo’s neck was seized by the Naga Leader’s sharp claw.

The Naga Leader opened its terrifyingly wide 120-degree mouth and bit down!

Crack!

The headless corpse of "Skillful Hand" Oubo erupted into a three-foot-high blood fountain and fell limply to the ground.

Along with the Naga Leader’s brutal action of savoring fresh blood and brain matter, it appeared even more savage, barbaric, and terrible!

"This... can hardly be considered an intelligent species anymore..." some Major General Gaia said incredulously, witnessing this R-rated scene.

"But the Naga Race is still considered Humanoid Species..." someone explained.

Bai Pu said blandly, "There’s no use in speaking more, let’s kill it! This time, I’m still blocking the attack."

Earlier, "Skillful Hand" Oubo didn’t wait for the Tank to take position and rushed up on his own; Bai Pu couldn’t save him.

Fortunately, most Red Blood Gladiators are frontline warrior types, and nobody rushed to take advantage, keeping Bai Pu’s sideline mission [Protect the Arena’s Property] still at zero deaths.

Bai Pu strode forward in big steps.

He knew clear in his heart that now was the real tough battle.

Because the time for Celestial Descent and Ancestral Protection had already passed.

Apart from the inherent damage reduction abilities of armor and equipment, Bai Pu now only had the damage reduction ability from Adaptive Evolution left.

As for Melt Gold Armor, it consumed too much Fighting Qi, and it was quite ineffective against the Naga Leader. Bai Pu shut it down early after activating a wave of searing counter-damage.

However, facing the strong power boss this time, Bai Pu gained deeper inspiration and insight about Melt Gold Armor and Steel Skin. He didn’t have the time to ponder it closely at the moment and could only recall and understand it after the battle.

Luckily, though Bai Pu was not in peak condition, the situation for the Naga Leader was even worse!

Due to moderate injuries, the Naga Leader’s all attributes fell by one-third, and many actions pulled on its wounds, with pain being a lesser concern compared to the loss of peak strength and speed.

"Indeed, we should resolve you first..."

The Naga Leader, covering the wound caused by [Cannon Bombardment], swam towards Bai Pu, raising the golden trident.

Clang! Clang clang!

Bai Pu didn’t retreat a single step, enduring the Naga Leader’s frenzied attack!

Both their life values continued to drop.

Other gladiators gathered forward to attack.

However, the Naga Leader’s fine snake scales on its surface were like natural scale armor, possessing a strong defensive damage reduction talent and passive!

Ordinary attacks on it only caused superficial skin scratches.

Only power-up big moves could inflict effective damage... but the post-attack stiffness of power-up big moves was too evident, making it easy for the Naga Leader to seize opportunities for a counterattack.

"Skillful Hand" Oubo’s corpse was still lying there.

Therefore, although the Naga Leader was injured, its life value wasn’t falling quickly.

In contrast, Bai Pu was about to be unable to hold on.

Bai Pu, as a blood bull among Awakened, seemed anemic in front of Ascension Plane Natives—

To dare act as Tank with around ten thousand blood volume, isn’t it audacious?

Though Bai Pu had high damage reduction, the ten thousand blood could be used like twenty thousand blood from others...

But he truly only had that ten thousand blood, while the Naga Leader had a hundred thousand blood! Fortunately, the siege on the Naga Leader involved many, with each attack dealing a hundred-plus blood volume, so the accumulation was considerable.

Bai Pu managed to hold on for so long, largely thanks to the Great Witch’s "Reversed Life True Qi Shield," slowly replenishing Bai Pu’s health and restoring professional energy.

"Xiao Bai, my True Qi is about to be exhausted." Wu Mingyue reminded.

"The Naga Leader is also low on health."

Bai Pu instructed in the team channel, "I’ll rally the native gladiators to perform ultimate move attacks for another round... let’s seize the final blow!"

Wu Qingyun responded with an "Mm": "Be cautious of those Awakened Major General teams... it’s obvious they’ve been holding back, intending to seize the final blow."

At this time, evaluating combat contribution, Bai Pu, consistently on the front line, delivering tens of thousands of damage, was certainly on top.

But the Awakened who delivers the BOSS’s final blow can exclusively receive 20% of the battle contribution from ending the BOSS!

Bai Pu couldn’t accept anyone stealing a significant chunk of the cake he was about to reap, having put in so much effort.

"Everyone, give it your all once more! Use your most powerful techniques for the final blow!" Bai Pu called loudly.

Currently, Bai Pu, as a pillar of this BOSS fight, had garnered considerable respect from many native gladiators, boasting strong rallying power.

However, some Awakened were unwilling for Bai Pu to succeed, rebuking: "If we attack with full force, what if it counterattacks in dying throes?"

The one speaking was a female Awakened Major General with a graceful figure, wearing a mask with snake patterns.

Earlier during the entrance introduction, Bai Pu had remembered her name—"Snake Fang" Diana, leader of the Snake Fang Team, ranked in the Top 100 on the predicted combat power list.

Bai Pu replied indifferently, "I’ll block its final counterattack."

"You’re already nearing the end of your strength. Even being counterattacked by the Naga Leader in dying throes means you wouldn’t survive." Lorich, leader of the Sky Wings Team, also chimed in.

However, awkwardly for Snake Fang and Sky Wings, the other gladiators in the arena, whether natives or Awakened, didn’t echo them.

Especially the native gladiators, who almost all looked at the two with eyes of disdain.

"Iron Spine" Balrog said openly: "You’re not really important figures, are you? Always pretending to contribute while withholding effort, thinking I can’t tell?

"If Boss Gangxin hadn’t held the attack, you’d already have been devoured by the Naga Leader! People dying this late being only two, isn’t that a miracle?"

Bai Pu ignored the two leaders of the Awakened teams and turned to the others: "Those who trust me, attack together following previous attack modes, go!"
