Chapter 57: Chapter 57 âVultureâ Erik
Translator: 549690339
Seeing a young man wearing leather armor and a steel helmet running towards him like a madman, Song Jian was taken aback;
âCome and hit me!â The young manâs face was ferocious, as he ran and shouted loudly at Song Jian hiding behind the wall;
âBait? You must be an idiot.â Song Jian sneered, pressing his left hand on the ground.
Earth Teeth Assault!
Whoosh-
A fang-shaped air mass flew across the ground towards the young man;
âGood job, Robin, thatâs right, provoke him. As long as he shows his head, Iâll blow him away with one shot!â Erik, the âVultureâ behind him, had a triumphant look on his face and waved his right arm, shouting in his heart;
Bang-
As he was running, Robin suddenly soared into the air, like heâd been hit by an invisible armored vehicle;
Ah-
A scream accompanied the crisp sound of his legs breaking, and Robinâs body fell heavily onto a pile of rubble, blood gushing from his mouth like a flood that had burst;
âDamn, this kidâs got bad luck, a critical hit?â Song Jian glanced at the damage numbers floating above the young manâs head and sucked in a breath through gritted teeth;
Vulture Erikâs joyful smile froze, and he winced in sympathetic pain as he tracked Robinâs trajectory and saw him crash onto the pile of rubble;
âWhat happened?â Erikâs face was full of confusion. All he saw was Robin rushing forward before suddenly being lifted into the air, like a staged performance;
âIs this kid trying to trick me?â Erik stared at the writhing Robin in pain, and his first thought was this;
But moments later, seeing Robin bloodied, legs bent at unnatural angles, Erik finally believed that Robin wasnât playing a role;
âRobin, what happened, whatâs going on?â Vulture Erik shouted out loud.
Robin struggled to get up, but the unbearable pain in his legs stopped him from moving. He could only rely on his hands to slowly roll down from the pile of rubble, trying to answer the captainâs question, but with every attempt to speak, blood gushed out of his mouth, leaving him only able to produce barely audible groaning sounds;
âThis Earth Teeth Assault skill is really powerful!â Looking at Robinâs head displaying âfracture,â âcontinuous blood loss,â âlimited mobility,â and other negative effects, and watching Robin, who originally didnât have much vitality, gradually approach death, Song Jian was very satisfied with the Earth Teeth Assault skill;
âAside from only being able to attack ground targets, this skill is amazing.â Song Jian thought to himself;
The base damage of Earth Teeth Assault is 45-55 points, but when it triggers a critical hit, the damage doubles. Ordinary people have at most eighty or ninety Vitality Points, so for Robin to endure this long, he must be one of those with exceptional physical fitness;
System: You used the skill Earth Teeth Assault, causing 48 points of damage to [LV4-101 Gathering Area Militia], triggering a critical hit effect, doubling the damage, the targetâs resistance is zero, causing an actual damage of 96 points; 3 points of Vitality loss per second;
System: You killed [LV5-101 Gathering Area Militia], gained 320 Experience Points, your reputation in the 101 Gathering Area decreased by 5 points, your relationship with the 101 Gathering Area is now hostile;
System: Dr. Ebsitingâs favorability towards you has increased by 10 points, your current relationship with him is friendly;
In the end, Robin couldnât endure any longer, and after rolling off the pile of rubble, he took his last breath. Beside his corpse, a white-glowing item appeared, seemingly the steel helmet Robin was wearing just moments ago;
âGood luck, loot dropped!â Song Jian smiled slightly, but Robinâs corpse was five or six meters away from him, and leaving cover now to pick up items would make him a perfect target for the others;
âHey, Metalman, all your teammates are dead, why donât you just commit suicide too? For a family, itâs important to be neat!â Song Jian shouted out loud;
âBastard, since youâve offended us of the 101 Gathering Area, donât even think about surviving. Even if you hide in this City of Death for a lifetime, our Punishers will find you and kill everyone related to you. Your family, your friends, theyâll all die!â Vulture Erik was about to lose his mind from anger. This mission had originally gone well, with even unexpected gains, but because of Song Jian, not only had all his teammates died, but the mission seemed likely to fail as well.
âNo one wanted this to happen.â Song Jian was taken aback by the mention of the Punisher from the 101 Gathering Area. It sounded like a tough character specialized in assassination and revenge, causing his heart to beat fast;
âI have no grudge against you, and all this happened because of Dr. Ebsiting. The enemy has heads, and debts have owners; if you want revenge, make sureâ¦â Song Jian shouted loudly.
System: Because of your inappropriate remarks, Dr. Ebsitingâs favorability towards you has decreased by 30 points, your current relationship with him is neutral;
Song Jianâs shout ceased abruptly, and he stared blankly at the system prompt floating before him.
âWhat the hell, 1 killed so many people, and only increased his favorability by 30 points, and now itâs all gone with one sentence?â Song Jian couldnât believe it and turned around to look, only to see Dr. Ebsiting sticking his head out and glaring at him, eyes full of anger;
Seeing Song Jian looking back, Dr. Ebsiting snorted heavily and gestured with a humiliating hand sign at Song Jian!
âYou old geezer, if it werenât for the side mission, Iâd shoot you dead!â Song Jian pouted, and was about to turn around and try to persuade Erik again, to focus their revenge on Dr. Ebsiting, when he suddenly noticed that Vulture Erik, shielding his head with his metal arm, was charging in his direction;
âWhat the hell, this is too unsportsmanlike.â Song Jian stood up, gun in one hand, and quickly pulled the trigger;
Bang bang bang-
Bullets penetrated Erikâs body, but only made him moan in pain and didnât slow him down at all;
Cling cling-
Several bullets hit Erikâs metal arm but only emitted a burst of sparks, causing no harm to him;
Song Jian checked his own Vitality Points, having just over eighty left, clenched his teeth, and put his right hand back on the ground, aiming at the charging Erik;
Earth Teethâ¦
Before he could unleash the skill, Erikâs speed suddenly increased, leaving in his wake a blurry afterimage. His metal arm slightly bent, the elbow protruding outward, covering most of his face, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with hatred and anger;
Boom-
Erikâs body slammed heavily into the wall where Song Jian had been hiding, creating a two-meter wide hole. Although Song Jian tried his best to dodge, he was still hit heavily by the blast, sending him flying backwards;
