Chapter 4 The Heartbreaking Sneeze

For a reserve colonist hunter like Cowey, a velociraptor wouldn't be life-threatening, but it would always be hectic and embarrassing, and might waste valuable reserve medicines. Naturally, dealing with these things should be done by Joseph, whom he hired.

After Cowey rolled away, Joseph frowned and scolded him:

"What are you doing? You're a super-human, a reserve colonist hunter. Can't you even hold back a sneeze?"

Cowey opened his mouth, as if to say something, but in the end, he couldn't. Plus, the mission was still up in the air, and Joseph's hiring price was indeed cheap, so he could only swallow his anger and remain silent. At this time, Joseph said again:

"If I suffer extra losses because of your mistakes, cough, cough... then you must compensate me. Damn it, why is my throat so itchy?"

As he spoke, Joseph vigilantly walked into the nightclub. If there were no velociraptors inside, then naturally there was nothing to say. If there were velociraptors inside, they would have already been alarmed by the cough, so there was no need to hide any longer.

Before long, Joseph strode out. The dinosaurs that patronized this nightclub had already eaten their fill and left. He was quite frustrated, but when he came out, both Joseph and Cowey's pupils suddenly shrank.

Because at the entrance of the nightclub, a man had suddenly appeared at some unknown time.

This man stood there quietly, giving the impression of a reef standing in the tide. No matter how turbulent the wind and waves, he stood firm. Anyone trying to cross him would inevitably be battered and bruised by his hard edges.

Joseph tightened his grip on the sword hilt and slowly said:

"Who are you?"

As he said this, the nightmare mark on his forehead began to glow again. Obviously, this was a deterrent, much like how some countries would conduct nuclear tests when diplomatic issues arose. However, Joseph immediately noticed that the man in front of him also had a dazzling light emanating from his chest.

"Damn it..."

Joseph roared immediately, then immediately lowered his body, like a football player charging at the reef. Seven or eight sharp, cone-shaped spikes popped out from his metal shoulder armor with a "clang," ready to slam into the reef with his shoulder.

If he were knocked away by the collision, it would not only cause damage and a fall, but also temporarily reduce his defense by 33%.

This defense-reducing attribute, coupled with Cowey's agility-type contract, who had fast attack speed and relatively low attack power, could be said to have a quite good complementary effect.

However, just as Joseph charged to within five or six meters of the reef, he suddenly discovered that an extremely peculiar, huge shield had appeared in front of the man. The shield radiated a dark gold, dazzling light, like the sun in the sky, brilliant and dazzling.

Heavy Shield

Dark Gold Quality

Joseph slammed into the shield, and he only felt the metal spikes on his shoulder making a creaking, creepy sound. However, his usually invincible charge was completely like hitting an extremely thick city wall, unable to shake it even slightly.

Two long marks were scratched on the cement floor. Amidst the dust, the other party was only pushed back five or six meters. The reaction force transmitted back from the shield almost made his whole body go numb.

"You're an MT?? Damn it, could you be that Zeus?" Joseph said through gritted teeth.

But Cowey immediately shouted:

"Impossible, Zeus's realm has grown to that terrifying level, he's definitely not this weak, and he couldn't possibly be alone!"

As the two of them spoke, Joseph had already drawn his long sword and slashed fiercely. At the same time, Cowey even tried to go around to the back of the reef, where there was no shield to block him, to launch a surprise attack.

But how could the reef give him this opportunity? In an upward roar, a ring of invisible shock waves began to spread in all directions, blowing dust everywhere, like a category twelve typhoon descending. Cowey and Joseph were hit by this "heart-wrenching" ability, and their speed decreased simultaneously.

Seizing this opportunity to separate the two, the reef charged towards Cowey, and suddenly raised his foot.

It could be seen that a giant hoof-shaped illusion suddenly appeared on the reef's foot, and it simply kicked Cowey to the ground, then stomped on him hard and continuously. This was precisely the ability of the boots he was wearing, the hoof stomp.

Cowey's face was covered in blood from the stomping, and he was in a terrible state. With great difficulty, he endured the crazy stomping and was about to get up when the reef slapped him.

Cowey rolled away in embarrassment, seemingly dodging the reef's attack, but he didn't expect that the reef's slap was actually a feint. His actual purpose was to launch a dart, common on the British Isles, from his palm, accurately hitting Cowey's chest. This was the reef's perverted hand dart, which would continuously restore health to the user while damaging the enemy.

However, Joseph was not idle either. He suddenly broke free from the effects of the heart-wrenching ability and charged over, slashing his sword at the reef's body.

The slash caused blood to splatter from the reef's arm, and Joseph was also a colonist hunter, definitely not a weakling. Taking advantage of this great opportunity, a gentle white light appeared on his hands, and he precisely slapped it towards the reef's dark gold shield, as if there were sticky glue on his hands, tightly adhering to the surface of the dark gold shield.

Immediately, the white light on Joseph's hands spread to the dark gold shield, and strangely penetrated into it. It could be seen that even the dark gold shield became transparent, as if it had been transferred to another dimension, leaving only the simplest lines.

This was Joseph's fundamental ability to gain a foothold in the team, called Dimensional Lock.

This ability cannot directly damage the enemy in battle, but it can cause the enemy's equipment or weapons to be teleported to another dimension for a short time, rendering them useless. At this time, Joseph had already raised the Dimensional Lock to LV9, so even dark gold equipment could not resist the powerful force of this skill. Just imagine what it would be like if Dumbledore's wand were suddenly teleported into another dimension, and you would know the terrifying potential of Dimensional Lock when it is upgraded to the top level.

After succeeding in one fell swoop, Joseph shouted and charged forward again. In his heart, once the reef was stripped of his shield, he would naturally be like a toothless tiger, at everyone's mercy.

Cowey seized this opportunity and flashed to the reef's side. That series of fierce attacks that he had used to deal with the velociraptor was unleashed again, and streaks of mournful light brought out spurts of blood from the reef's body.

However, the reef was also a veteran who had experienced countless battles, and he had experienced even worse situations countless times. Facing this sudden situation, he still appeared calm and unhurried. He slightly bent his legs and half-squatted, protecting his body with his hands, allowing Cowey's dagger to tear out wounds on his body. Blood splattered on the reef's face, adding to the cruelty, but also showing the reef's increased calmness.

Suddenly, Cowey slashed out with an upward strike, and the dagger even brought up a crescent-shaped arc of light. The judgment of this move was based on the agility judgment between the two sides, so even though the reef had made a defensive posture, he was still knocked into the air by Cowey's strike. It looked as if he had been hit on the chin by an extremely fierce uppercut, suspended in the air, and passively performing a backflip, leaving a huge opening.

Cowey once again made a slight squatting motion with both legs. As he made this move, the concrete street surface within several square meters under his feet suddenly collapsed, and a large cloud of smoke exploded. Then, he was about to suddenly exert force! He was about to unleash that swift and fierce foot blade towards the reef in the sky!

Even if the other party was an MT, they would lose half their life if they were hit by this strike after the shield was removed. But at this moment, an indescribable, strange feeling spread over Cowey again, and then focused on the center of his nose.

"Damn it, why do I want to sneeze at this time?"

"I must hold back, I'm killing someone now!"

"I must hold back!"

"I must hold back!"

"I'll hold..."

"A~~~~~~achoo!"

Cowey's foot blade was finally slashed out, and the strong wind blew against the face, but it slashed a two or three-meter-long gash on the concrete pillar next to it. The accuracy was so off due to that sneeze that it was heartbreaking.

The reef, who had been knocked into the air by the slash, steadily landed with a backflip, then waved his light sword and slashed at Cowey's neck, knocking him away. Then, the reef suddenly charged forward and kicked forward again.

Joseph was about to rush up to stop the reef at this time, but he didn't expect that he felt as if his whole body was soaked in an ice cellar, shivering. He was already slowed down by the reef's heart-wrenching effect, and after this shiver, his movement speed was greatly reduced.

After the reef took a step, Joseph originally had full confidence to stop him, but because of that strange chill, he could only watch as the reef kicked Cowey fiercely in the face again. Such an attack not only hurts the body, but also leaves a mental wound....

Um, I wasn't satisfied with the finished fifth chapter, mainly because it wasn't *sao* enough, so I overturned it and started over. I still plan to pay back a chapter today, so it will be released with the sixth chapter around 12 o'clock (no later than 12:30). I apologize for the inconvenience.
