Chapter 637: 637

Chapter 637: Phoenix Awaken!

Powerful, undeniably powerful .

Although up until that point, the battle only saw the deaths of three manipulators and a Machine Gunner, the strong showing by the NPC pirate captain commander had helped the players experience and understand the melee combat capabilities of a warrior who had awakened the Force .

With a swing of the sword, multiple players were sent flying a dozen or so meters away, some players were even hacked in half along with their armor before being sent flying back .

Scenes like these were more visually intense than the battle between Haruko and Hunting Tiger on that rainy night during the special agent profession change mission when they saw a pavilion get crushed .

The stats of these types of humanoid NPCs were not all that different from players, meaning that after warrior type players awakened the Force, they would be able to do the same things .

However, for the Nine-Star Guild players standing on the deck that stayed behind to guard the ship, at the moment, they did not have the time or energy to yearn for the power they would gain after awakening the Force .

After the pirate captain commander finished off the few long-range attackers, he was prepared to jump from the military ship into the sea with the suitcase in hand . If they were to lose the item that they had spent so many days, so many players’ lives, and so much effort to finally obtain, they might as well find a sharp object and kill themselves by slamming themselves into it .

However, the Light Armor Warriors were sent flying one after another and at the moment, most of them had not yet regained their footing .

The pirate captain commander’s attacks were attached with the bonus “Force attack effect . ” As such, the players who were hit, even though they had special bodies, the damage they suffered was still considerable .

As for the Heavy Armor Warriors, while the three of them were not hacked and sent flying, they could not keep up with the pirate captain commander’s movement speed . Instead, they had turned into the pirate captain commander’s shield against the players’ long-range attacks .

“Bang!”

The good thing was that no matter how fast the warriors were, they could never be faster than bullets .

A sniper rifle bullet shrouded in electricity brushed past the edge of a Heavy Armor Warrior’s shield and struck firmly on Hawkeye’s left wrist holding the suitcase .

“-1034!”

A Weak Point Damage .

The defensive skill of the Force was not an energy shield . Technically speaking, it was only one layer of the Force . As such, if the attack was strong enough, it should still be able to get through the defense .

The attacks of submachine guns, energy skills, and machine-gun bullets that suffer from reduced damage on Commander-Grade units could not cut through the defense of the pirate captain commander; however, this did not mean that sniper rifle bullets would also fail to pierce through the defense .

Of course, even though the sniper rifle bullet managed to pierce through the Force layer, most of the impact and damage had been reduced .

Feng Luo’s “Blood Armor” is a formulation of the combination between the Life Protozoa and the Force . As such, it is fundamentally more unique . In comparison, it is much more similar to an energy shield .

Besides, the rifle Feng Luo was now equipped with, the Eye of the Thunder, was a lot less powerful than the Wings of Death . As such, the shot only dealt a little over a thousand damage .

However, the positive thing was that the shot triggered the rare attribute of the Eye of the Thunder . When it hit the NPC pirate commander’s arm, the electricity’s numbing effect was triggered, resulting in his hand loosening, and the suitcase he was carrying fell out of his hand .

Before he could bend down to pick up the suitcase…

“Whoosh!”

A translucent alloy sword emitting a light red glow had reached the pirate captain commander’s chest .

Phoenix’s rare skill that had reached Expert-Level, in addition to the bonus provided by using a Legendary-Grade weapon, made the slash something not to be underestimated .

“Don’t even think about it! Shield Bash!” Big Pineapple also came charging with his alloy shield raised . He used the Legendary-Grade alloy shield he was equipped with to strike against the pirate captain’s chest .

Whether it was Big Pineapple, Phoenix, or Feng Luo; each of them had used four Intermediate-Grade buff potions that Lin created on themselves to significantly increase their stats .

Although this last battle against the pirate captain commander was not related to the three of them, because the Nine-Star Guild had promised to sell them Quasi-Boss pet biochips at a fraction of the original cost price it was natural that they wouldn’t allow the pirate captain commander to just take away the core device .

Moreover, since they had left the island, even if they were to die in this battle, they would lose a level’s worth of experience at most but the items they dropped could still be regained .

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Hawkeye felt the red fiery long sword getting closer to his body .

Similar to Feng Luo’s bullet that could pierce through the Force layer, Phoenix’s Legendary-Grade alloy sword that had a rare skill attached that could also threaten the pirate captain commander . As such, the pirate captain commander could not do anything but give up trying to grab the suitcase immediately . Instead, both his hands reached to pull out his two-handed alloy sword to parry Phoenix’s slash using the Legendary-Grade longsword .

“Boom!”

“-5256!”

The sword flew out of Phoenix’s palm before slamming heavily into her chest . After that, her feet floated into the air as her entire body flew backward .

“Puff!”

While in the air, blood spilled from her mouth as a damage number of over 5,000 popped up above her head .

For the first time since ambushing and killing Sword Ki Long River, this NPC pirate captain commander used both his hands to attack with his sword for the first time . The strength of the attack, compared to when he was wielding with one hand, was on a completely different level .

Phoenix was also equipped with Legendary-Grade defensive items provided by the Nine-Star Guild, and she was in a buffed state . However, in the end, she still lost one-third of her total HP .

However, while Phoenix was sent flying, Hawkeye’s task of getting to the suitcase was still not easy .

Big Pineapple’s Shield Bash was very close to his head . If he were to get hit by the basic “Godly skill” of Heavy Armor Warriors, even if he were the ultimate and mighty pirate captain commander who displayed domineering strength earlier, he would still be completely immobilized by the group of players until he died . The control skills of melee combat warriors were not something one should underestimate .

However, the same principle still applied . It was never going to be that easy to kill a high-level NPC who had awakened the Force .

“Boom!”

With his two hands gripping the sword, the alloy sword shrouded in a layer of dark matter that Hawkeye used earlier to send Phoenix flying was spun around and a black tornado seemed to appear .

“Clang, clang, clang, clang…”

“-855, -3756, -3345, -3566…”

Sounds of metal clanging against each other filled the air . Then came the sounds of warrior players being forced to scatter and retreat .

“Spinning Slash!” The Level-45 skill of Light Armor Warriors .

The good thing was that the skill’s damage was not too high .

Particularly, when it came to Big Pineapple since he had a Legendary-Grade shield equipped as well as his S-Grade talent, “Heavy,” he only lost around 1,000 HP .

However, after the other warrior players that were surrounding and going to attack Hawkeye backed off, Feng Luo’s line of sight that should have been freed up did not attack immediately to follow up because, at that moment, Feng Luo’s gaze was resting upon Phoenix . as she was lying on the ground after being hit by Hawkeye . Feng Luo seemed a little surprised .

Going back a few seconds, Hawkeye’s slash made Phoenix lose her balance and fly a dozen or so meters away before landing on the deck . It was as if she was not able to stand back up again due to being the Force’s attack effect .

However, when she raised her head, her eyes were different and were changing rapidly . It went from pain and anguish to calm and cold in a matter of seconds .

As her glare turned cold, a special type of power seemed to spread throughout her body .

“Hmm?” On the other side, Hawkeye had just sent all of the warrior players flying away with one slash and stopped moving suddenly, his gaze became serious and heavy for the first time .
