Chapter 1331: The Re-emergence of Evil Sword Apophis!

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

Fear was a very random thing.

Not only does it vary from person to person, but even the same person would fear different things at different stages of their life.

For example, Sanzi was scared of the dark when he was an infant, but when he was a little older, he was afraid of Wang Heizai, a child from Siqiao Village, and of dried fish bones that had their meat completely shaved away. And even now that he had become a powerful contestant, he would still run away whenever he saw a toad for some reason.

When fear rose in the heart of a person with a resolute mind like Sheyan, even he could not help asking himself: ‘Why do I fear this creature?’ But he could find no answer to this question. In other words, he was afraid for no discernable reason!

Thus, Sheyan immediately knew that this unexplainable fear must stem from the effect of some kind of weird ability. This was to be expected. A creature that the Queen of Blades believed could finish him must have some abilities.

The reason Sheyan chose this place as the battlefield was naturally because it held a great advantage for him. The path leading here sloped upwards and was sandwiched between two sharp peaks that looked like canine teeth, while Sheyan was standing on a rock at the end of the path like a perching eagle.

He had the high ground, staring down at his prey!

The moment the enemy appeared from the other end, Sheyan could charge downslope like a heavy tank. His momentum and focus would reach the peak at the moment of collision, causing the strongest impact to the enemy!

Restricted by the black stone cliffs on both sides, the enemy would only end up in a worse situation if he tried to dodge!

However, Sheyan was startled by the sudden fear that rose in him and ended up missing the best timing to strike.

But he immediately came back to his senses. He took a deep breath, feeling the corrosive poisonous gas move from his nostrils down his respiratory tract and spreading into his lungs. Then, he charged fiercely down the path.

If he had missed the best timing, then he would just create an even better one!

The eerie illusion of the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ emerged behind Sheyan. He dashed down the slope violently like a wrecking ball and punched with his right hand straight at the enemy!

Strangely, the enemy had no intention of evading. Sheyan’s punch made a strange noise when it landed on the monster. It was not the sound of a fist landing on flesh at all.

However, the Messenger of Pain was still sent flying by the punch, crashing into the black stone cliff beside him. Stone fragments scattered everywhere. The creature curled up into a ball when he fell to the ground, then slowly climbed back up.

Sheyan also staggered back several steps. He suddenly held his right shoulder with his hand. A large piece of flesh had been torn off his right shoulder, as if he had been attacked by a giant invisible clamp. He did not even know when he had been wounded!

More bizarre was that the Messenger of Pain, who was seemingly in a lot of agony, slowly straightened his body and stared at Sheyan with a weird, distorted smile on his face. He then slowly opened up his palm.

A large, bloody piece of flesh lay on it!!

But Sheyan clearly remembered that the monster had used his weird-looking arms to protect his body. Those arms did not even touch Sheyan!

The Messenger of Pain looked at Sheyan like he was looking at his food as he stuffed the bloody piece of flesh into his mouth and chewed on it slowly and noisily. He savoured it with great delight like a child who had discovered something extremely delicious. Blood spurted out of his mouth as he chewed.

“Her Majesty only wants your blood-covered spine, so the rest of your flesh...is all mine!”

Even with Sheyan’s wealth of experience in battle, he could not even see how the enemy had attacked him!

After devouring the piece of flesh, the Messenger of Pain stood up as if nothing had happened. He twisted his neck and laughed, then told Sheyan with a distorted expression, “Pain is the source of my strength. Come, give me more pain!”

He bared his scary white teeth at Sheyan as he spoke. The spot on his chest that had collapsed inwards from Sheyan’s punch slowly inflated again like a balloon.

He was obviously a monster that that incredible speed of recovery and an extremely bizarre attacking method!

Sheyan immediately realised that he had underestimated this monster called the Messenger of Pain. More precisely, he thought he had already regarded the Queen of Blades very highly, but he found that he had still underestimated her, and also underestimated this bastard chosen by the powerful woman to hunt him down.

That’s because Sheyan actually received these notifications after hitting the Messenger of Pain:

[ You have damaged the abnormal creature: Messenger of Pain. ]

[ You are affected by the Aura of Fear. Your attack power is reduced by 10% and your hit rate is reduced by 7%. When you damage the Messenger of Pain, the fear becomes more deeply rooted in your heart, so in the next ten seconds, you will be gripped by fear, hence become unable to carry out any active attacks on the Messenger of Pain which may cause him damage, including ordinary attacks, ability attacks, item attacks, etc. ]

[ Note: If you have inflicted continuous damage (damage over time) on the Messenger of Pain, the subsequent damages will not be restricted by the 10-second rule, but every time a damage takes effect, the 10-second rule will be refreshed. ]

[ Note: This is a terrifying ability produced by the Queen of Blades with her own power, so it has Domain Authority precedence! ]

(Ability precedences: No precedence < normal precedence < Authoritative precedence < Domain precedence < Domain Authority))

[ Data disorder detected... Data conflict detected... Recalculating... Awakener 1018, due to your innate ability and other unknown reasons, the 10-second rule caused by the Aura of Fear is weakened to five seconds. ]

“The current me don’t have enough power to handle this monster...” This was the first thought that entered Sheyan’s mind.

“So... I should get ready to run away,” This was the second thought that entered Sheyan’s mind.

After that, he had to concentrate on dealing with the Messenger of Pain’s attacks. Although Sheyan had always believed that offence was the best defence, he was currently affected by the Aura of Fear, so he could not attack at all and could only concentrate on defending.

Sheyan’s eyes only saw a blur in front of him, and the Messenger of Pain had already crouched down like a werewolf and sprinted forward at a speed that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, his long hands and feet moving like the limbs of a spider treading on water. He reached Sheyan in no time at all.

Then, as if he was trying to pay Sheyan back for the punch earlier, he launched his own punch at Sheyan. His hand initially appeared as dry and lifeless as a mummy’s, but when he launched the fist, the muscles on his entire arm expanded abnormally, as if he had concentrated his whole strength and even his spirit into this arm. It gave off a strong sense of imbalance.

The inflated arm launched forward like a spring that was released after being compressed to the limit, slamming fiercely into Sheyan’s shoulder and sending him flying more than seven meters away. It also sent Sheyan into a paralysed state, so he could not even adjust his position while he was in the air to soften the landing. He crashed into the hard stone cliff and fell heavily to the ground!

Sheyan climbed back up with a roll. Not only was he badly injured when he was struck, his face was also bleeding heavily, as if a hungry zombie had taken a large bite on his face. Sheyan had lost such a large chunk of flesh that his teeth and tongue were showing through the hole!

The Messenger of Pain had clearly only attacked with a punch, but Sheyan had once again suffered a bizarre second injury! It was as if there was another invisible enemy that would attack in tandem with the Messenger of Pain!

“Five seconds are up,” Sheyan was in a sorry state, but there was a crazy and brutal glint in his eyes, “Bastard, it’s my turn now.”

Seeing the provocation in Sheyan’s eyes, the Messenger of Pain laughed while chewing on Sheyan’s flesh.

“I advise you not to put up any more futile resistance, Brigadier General Seaman. You don’t understand how powerful Her Majesty, the Queen of Blades is!”

Sheyan was startled. “You... you’re Snake? Your personality wasn’t erased?”

“Yes, I’m the foolish Snake! If I had known that Her Majesty could bestow me with such an amazing power, I would have long given up my human identity. You really should stop struggling. Her Majesty has taken an interest in your spinal cord. All resistances are futile in front of her desire,” The Messenger of Pain sneered, exposing his eerie fangs.

“Why do you yearn for power so much?” questioned Sheyan coldly.

“I need power to get revenge. I despise the goddamn Protoss who killed my son like they were crushing an ant. I despise the politicians and higher ups whose brains were filled with nothing but fat. A word from them, and we have to sacrifice our honour, years of our lives, and even our lives themselves! I can’t punish those f*cking bastards without power!” roared the Messenger of Pain.

“And you. As my first prey, I will cut off your ears, dry them and wear them on my neck as a memento!”

The monster howled and dashed forward again! Sheyan did not shrink back this time. There was a fierce look in his eyes. On the right hand which he deliberately hid behind his back, the mechanical glove was melting like a candle, and the silver wax was rapidly solidifying into a certain shape. Anyone who so much as laid eyes on the shape could feel its sharpness and repulsion, but a strange feeling of gentleness would inexplicably rise in their heart....

It was a weird feeling of tyranny twisted to the limit!

It was the most powerful weapon G-spot could currently replicate...Evil Sword Apophis!
