Chapter 444

Chapter 444: Seventh Form (1)

The sword swept along with the hale, crescents of air cutting under the moonlight. Earlier ROOT just took a hit from Red Iron, she had not fully recovered. The timing of Bladeless Swordsman’s arrival was perfect. That half liquid metallic was slashed incessantly by cuts that fell like rain. They had a hard time coagulating, and dropped to the ground. After finishing the skill, Bladeless Swordsman did not slow down. He instantly retreated and then took out a pineapple looking thing from his inventory and tossed it forward. At the same time, he hollered, “Be careful!”

That warning was definitely for Red Iron. With Red Iron’s alertness, he knew what the man was up to. Red Iron might be seriously injured but his speed was not affected. He dropped down on one knee, and darted forward, moving fast like lightning. He was already more than 10 metres away in the blink of an eye.

At the same moment, the object Bladeless Swordsman dropped right in the puddle of the liquid metal.

Name: Holy Grenade

Item Type: Consumable

Quality: Excellent

Effect: Create a stable and powerful explosion.

Remark: One of the strongest weapons in Worms. Holy Grenade would not bounce when it hit a physical surface and it would not be affected by the wind; the delay of explosion is 3 seconds and the explosion is 12 pixels wide. There is no shrapnel and the damage is centre around the explosion.

“Halleluya~” The moment before it exploded, the Holy Grenade sang out like a choir at the church. It was honestly quite impressive.

After the singing, a white light blinded everyone. The spot where ROOT was swallowed up by a white ball of about 12 pixels immediately. The explosion soon dissipated, leaving behind a half circular crater on the ground. ROOT disappeared without a trace like she had evaporated.

“This time, she wouldn’t be able to revive anymore, right…” Lying Drunk who was a distance away said darkly. During the series of battle earlier, Lying Drunk used the opportunity to heal his injury. By now, the wounds that he got from Quick Bell had all stopped bleeding.

“This is not the time to relax, there are still five of them here.” Ambitionist pulled on his bow and turned his focus to the 5 level 3 Anomalies who returned to the battlefield.

“Pegasasu Ry?sei Ken!” Pegasus was the first to charge forward. Since Quick Bell and ROOT moved too fast, he hadn’t had the chance to show off. Now that the chance had presented itself, he was not going to let it go.

“Not so easy!” Quick Bell’s intermittent voice came again. The supersonic daggers moved faster than his voice.

Kiang!

The red aura burst again, Red Iron blocked Quick Bell. He used his hand to block the dagger and the other to wipe away the blood from the corner of his lips. He said darkly. “Have you forgotten about me?”

“Die!” Quick Bell roared and continued to attack. His daggers were fast like a storm, ravaging and swallowing. Quick Bell understood that Red Iron was no longer his match after he was injured by ROOT. He would fall within seconds. However, in that moment, two blades shot out from the side and helped block the fatal attack to Red Iron.

“Brother Zen, your blade moved slightly slower than usual.” Flashes of Swords armed with his blade, told Zen Dream.

“Burp~” Zen Dream though was using his blade with his right hand and holding a beer with his left hand. He answered through the burp, “I was merely trying to match your speed.”

“Qie… more interruption?” Quick Bell did not expect these two would suddenly jump out to stop him. These two were master blade users and they were not slower than Lying Drunk. If it was a 1 versus 1, Quick Bell would not have any problem, he easily had the upper hand but now it was… 3 versus 1. An injured Red Iron with 2 top players specializing in speed, this combo could break even with Quick Bell who was slightly injured.

Since Quick Bell was held back, the ending of the other gang of Anomalies was predictable. Ambitionist, Pegasus and Uncle Worthless attacked the five Anomalies together. Light arrows, punches and palm strikes rushed at them. Instantly, the five Anomalies who hadn’t recovered were slowly forced back.

“Stop wasting time.” A powerful voice called out, followed by a handsome figure. Smiling Divine Question stepped forward and raised both of his arms to prepare for the skill, Sweep of Thousand Hills. With an enormous force, he slammed the five Anomalies into data flow.

“Looks like there’s nothing for me to do…” Not a Scaredy Cat followed behind him, slow to the scene.

Seeing as the dust had settled, Lying Drunk sighed in relief. “Phew… now we only need to kill the hobbit and then everything…”

“Hey!” Phantom Dawn suddenly appeared on the other end of the street. His expression was sterner than everyone present. “What are you guys doing? Look there!”

That made all the players realized something…

“no, it can’t be…” Bladeless Swordsman was closest. He took several steps forward to peer into the hole created by the holy grenade. Once he looked down, he grimaced. At the cracks inside the crater, there was liquid metal pulsating…

“She’s still alive!” Realizing that, Blade Swordsman instantly raised his sword and prepared to use his skill.

“Do not use energy attack!” Phantom Dawn’s warning was too late. He was too far so he was unable to stop it.

Facing that metallic liquid that spread out like a spider web, most people would use energy attack, after all not everyone could see the truth on the data level like Phantom Dawn.

Therefore… the blade aura touched the metallic liquid. The next second, the liquid seemed to boil and started to agitate. Then, they combined into a human shape again. The hearts that rested earlier now slowly rose with the reappearance of ROOT…

“I hate this 7th form…” ROOT mumbled as if to herself. “Very inconvenient…” As she finished, she already charged towards Bladeless Swordsman, “This is all your fault…”

With a crisp sound, Bladeless Swordsman’s head burst open like a watermelon from ROOT’s fist.

“Oh… your helmet was quite sturdy…” ROOT massaged her finger. ROOT in seventh form had a rather conspicuous change to her appearance. To put it simply… she had become a ‘giant’. The new ROOT was 2.5 metres tall but the proportion was the same as before and her skin was the same mercurial color. Other than that, thick metallic cocoon grew out from her various joints and they stuck to her body like an armour.

“Monster! You’ll pay!” Seeing his own brother being massacred like that, Smiling Divine Question’s heart burned with fury. That overwhelmed his caution. He darted towards ROOT, ready with his ultimate.
