Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1843: Attack

Helsky, who was fighting desperately, truly had some skill.

After that swirling blade strike was unleashed, the leading Evil Armor Star Person had no choice but to dodge.

Generally speaking, life forms clad in heavy armor on various parts of their bodies fought in a very straightforward manner, often charging head-on into attacks. Relying on their super-strong defensive capabilities, they would withstand the attack and immediately launch a counterattack, often catching their opponents off guard and overwhelming them.

This time, he dodged, proving that Helsky’s attack had exceeded the defensive strength his body could withstand.

But just as he shifted his massive body sideways, a beam of light struck him. The leading Evil Armor Star Person immediately grunted, his body falling backward. Even from a distance, Ye Zhongming could clearly see white smoke rising from the spot where he had been hit.

It was the holy sigil from He’s body.

Those holy sigils, which appeared on the bodies of the Changxu Water Tribe from birth, varied in number from person to person. The more sigils one had, the higher their innate talent.

This top-tier beauty, He, was a favorite of heaven, with many holy sigils—enough to rank in the top three in her entire tribe’s history. This was also why she had been able to come this far from the brink of her tribe’s extinction.

The Changxu Water Tribe and the Evil Armor Star People were natural enemies. The latter could easily tear the former apart, while the energy emitted by the former’s holy sigils could easily break through the defenses of the latter.

Just now, He had used her holy sigil to attack, injuring the leading Evil Armor Star Person.

Helsky’s eyes lit up, and he quickly charged forward. His blade-like weapon swung toward the lower limbs of this Evil Armor Star Person as he moved.

With their captain injured, the other Evil Armor Star People displayed remarkable discipline, shifting their formation from assault to defense. Two members stood on either side of their captain, slashing their sharp upper limbs toward Helsky, while another member leaped from behind, using the momentum of his descent to strike at his opponent.

The two members responsible for reconnaissance did not join the charge but stood at a distance. From the evil armor on their shoulders, they fired two dark, gleaming armor spikes which shot toward two members on the periphery of Helsky’s team under the cover of night.

Due to their angle, Ye Zhongming and his two companions could see the entire battlefield. Ye Zhongming noticed that one relatively short Evil Armor Star Person had already burrowed into the sandy beach and disappeared.

Clearly, he would emerge at some point to deliver a fatal blow to someone in Helsky’s team.

But Helsky and the others had not noticed.

In fact, even if they had, they had no time to worry about it now. Helsky and He were likely the two strongest members of the team, and they were currently attacking the fallen captain of the Evil Arm Star People. Of the remaining seven members, four were already injured—a result of the earlier sneak attack by Ye Zhongming, Jie Kui, and Shi Kangbu. Their combat effectiveness was inevitably affected. Knowing their condition, they followed behind Helsky, able to advance as a second wave of offense or retreat to protect their captain’s rear.

The other three members each confronted the other Evil Armor Star People approaching from both sides.

“The one above is yours.”

Helsky shouted, and He knew he was speaking to her. She removed her hand from her wound, her eyes shimmering with light. A beam of light, filled with mysterious symbols, appeared from her upper body and shot into the sky, striking the body of the descending Evil Armor Star Person.

As if hit by a heavy blow, that descending Evil Armor Star Person was directly blasted away. Like their captain, before even landing, white smoke began to rise from the injured area.

Helsky had no time to cheer. The attacks from two Evil Armor Star People were almost upon him, but he remained unmoved, his weapon continuing its trajectory toward the lower limbs of the Evil Armor Star captain, who was already beginning to stand.

Just as he was about to be cut into three pieces, two beams of light emerged from the ground, striking the upper limbs of the Evil Armor Star People and knocking them aside.

This was naturally the light he had channeled into the ground earlier, though it was unclear what ability it was.

Thud!

The weapon struck the lower limbs of the Evil Armor Star Person, the blade embedding itself. Some green liquid splattered from the wound.

But that was all, because his weapon was stuck.

The Evil Armor Star captain, half-risen, glanced at the wound. Protected by evil armor, the weapon had cut through but was then clamped by the armor, not only preventing the wound from deepening but also seizing control of the opponent’s weapon.

He chuckled, his mask-like face with four eyes turning toward Helsky. Four beams of black light shot out from them.

The distance was very close. Helsky couldn’t dodge and could only summon swirling air currents again on the armor of the attacked areas.

The collision occurred, but it was strangely silent.

But both sides were forced back. The difference was that the Evil Armor Star captain fell again, his large body sliding back two meters, the weapon that had been clamped in his lower limb falling to the ground.

Helsky was in worse shape. His body was sent flying, but fortunately, they were on a sandy beach, so there was no sound or impact when he hit the ground. He quickly stood up, but the areas on his armor where he had been hit showed four clear cracks, and some blood seeped from his mouth and nose.

A scream came from one side. Helsky glanced peripherally and saw that one already injured member had been unlucky. Earlier, he had been hit by the black spikes continuously fired by the two Evil Armor Star People behind them. Staggering, he failed to protect himself properly and had his arm severed by an Evil Armor Star Person. Seeing another Evil Armor Star Person not far from him, Helsky could only mourn for this companion.

Sure enough, this already severely injured member was split in two by the Evil Armor Star Person.

However, before dying, he struck the body of the Evil Armor Star Person who killed him with a palm strike. The force of the blow sent his opponent sprawling onto his back, and another life form nearby stabbed a blade into his head, giving it a fierce twist and killing him instantly.

Both sides suffered losses, and their anger and killing intent reached a peak. Helsky and the Evil Armor Star captain each roared and clashed again.

They were the strongest individuals in their respective teams. If they didn’t stop each other, they would cause heavy casualties among their subordinates.

Ye Zhongming and the other two watched from the side, finding it thoroughly exhilarating.

This was the first time Ye Zhongming had seen so many top-tier evolved individuals in a melee. Honestly, with many of their abilities restricted upon arriving in the universe, the fighting of these life forms lacked much of the ‘special effects,’ becoming entirely ‘plain’ and unadorned.

But this was also the way that best highlighted the peril. They were all top-tier evolved individuals; every move and every strike was fatal. The slightest carelessness meant death.

From the initial two deaths, only two minutes passed before five more lives were lost.

These were all nine-star evolved, gone in an instant.

Seven lives lost: three Evil Armor Star People and four of Helsky’s team members.

The original numbers were twelve versus nine. Now it was nine versus five, widening the gap further. Helsky’s side was already in complete passivity and had entered a defensive posture.

“Take action!”

Ye Zhongming shouted, leading the other two toward the battlefield.
