Chapter 1225: Fatal Embrace
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A series of question marks danced on Meng Chao’s cerebral cortex.
He did not have time to think about the illogical oddity, though, because the situation had already taken a hundred and eighty degree turn.
At first, neither Platinum Embrace nor Teeth of Corrosion had expected a large number of wolf assassins to lurk around them.
However, Platinum Embrace’s elder brother, the Horn of Destruction, had been the first noble to discover and support Kanus, the Jackal.
Kanus, the Jackal had always considered himself the most loyal lackey under the Horn of Destruction.
Between the Lion and Tiger Clans, he naturally leaned toward the former.
After the wolf assassins rose up, they pounced on the fierce tiger warriors and killed them until their flesh and blood splattered everywhere. It was obvious that they were on the Lion Clan’s side.
Platinum Embrace began to think quickly. His reaction speed was half a beat faster than Teeth of Corrosion’s.
He roared and whipped his long hair. Eight light blades that resembled eight burning snakes were aimed at Teeth of Corrosion’s four limbs, glabella, heart, abdomen, and crotch.
If the two of them were to fight one-on-one…
They would definitely not use such a fatal move that had a huge flaw.
Even if they were to use it, their opponent would have dozens of ways to dodge or even counterattack.
Even if they could not dodge, just the defensive power of their totem armor alone would be enough to cancel out most of the light blade’s destructive power.
At most, they could cut seven or eight deep wounds through the totem armor to reveal the person’s bones. They would not cause fatal damage to the flesh and blood.
In any case, the totem armor was made of a combination of hardness and softness. It was made of an unpredictable liquid metal-like material. As long as the material did not lose its vitality and swallowed enough resources, no matter how big the wound was, it would be able to heal in a few seconds. It would take a few minutes at most to heal perfectly.
The problem was that the surprise wolf assassin had entangled Teeth of Corrosion’s hands and feet, distracting him as a result.
The holy water that originated from the land of Holy Light was more like a thick, shining sulfuric acid, constantly eroding and decomposing the surface of his totem armor.
Accompanied by a series of ear-piercing “chi chi” sounds, soon, his shiny armor was turned into pieces of scrap metal that were riddled with holes.
It was originally a move that Teeth of Corrosion would use.
He did not expect that someone would use it on him instead.
The strong scent of a wolf rushed into his nostrils. He realized that the situation was far beyond his control.
It was very likely that he and all the fierce tiger warriors would fall into a carefully planned and extremely dangerous trap.
It had become an impossible mission to hunt down Platinum Embrace.
The most important thing now was to save his own life!
Teeth of Corrosion’s pupils contracted to its limit.
The joints of his legs released a series of crackling sounds, and the muscle fibers around his joints almost doubled in size in an instant.
Even the liquid metal-like substances that formed his totem armor kept surging toward his legs, immediately making them as thick as rocket propellers.
Teeth of Corrosion was just about to jump out of the encirclement without another care when Platinum Embrace’s eight light blades arrived before him.
Together with the Wolf Clan assassin, they had covered all three hundred and sixty degrees of angles around him and blocked all escape routes.
Platinum Embrace’s battle intent was akin to a volcanic eruption amongst the murderous intent that exuded from the several hundred Wolf Clan assassins’ scarlet eyes. It simply gave Teeth of Corrosion the illusion of having his heart pierced by tens of thousands of arrows.
This ruthless man, who was infamous throughout the entire Gold Clan, made the most correct judgment within 0.01 seconds.
Instead of retreating, he advanced and charged at Platinum Embrace while he faced the eight light blades.
He tried to entangle himself with Platinum Embrace so that the situation would become completely chaotic. Only by using Platinum Embrace as his meat shield would he have a chance to kill his way out of the encirclement.
Among the hundreds of changes that Teeth of Corrosion had deduced in an instant, this was the only way to survive.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated a few things.
First, he had underestimated the Wolf Clan assassins’ combat strength and the degree of their coordination.
Second, he had underestimated the density of the holy water that the Wolf Clan assassin had splashed on him and the speed at which it was destroying his totem armor.
Third, he had underestimated Platinum Embrace’s hidden strength.
Lastly, and most importantly, he had forgotten that there was an extremely sharp spear stuck in Platinum Embrace’s chest from the back to the front!
Clang! Clang clang clang!
The heavy weapons that the wolf assassins waved struck Teeth of Corrosion’s back.
Without the purple fog’s interference and the totem armor’s buffer, the heavy weapons’ destruction surged into Teeth of Corrosion’s body. It made the fierce tiger warrior’s neck even thicker than it had been a moment ago as a large amount of blood got stuck in his throat.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The eight light blades missed Teeth of Corrosion due to his high-speed dodging.
However, he paid the price of sustaining thousands of tiny cracks were invisible to the naked eye in his joints. The tendons next to his joints were also torn inch by inch, seriously affecting his subsequent movements.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The arms of Platinum Embrace and Teeth of Corrosion were entangled like four giant pythons that had a deep hatred for each other.
Both of their bones and joints immediately emitted a series of exploding sounds that sounded like firecrackers being set off.
The thirty-six thousand tiny blood beads that seeped out of their thirty-six thousand pores dyed their tangled arms red.
This was the simplest and most violent kind of wrestling.
Their brute force had originally been evenly matched.
With the spear piercing through his chest, Platinum Embrace’s strength had become even weaker.
The problem was that Teeth of Corrosion’s totem armor had been corroded by holy water, and its various performance parameters were dropping at an astonishing speed. It was no longer able to provide its master with much offensive and defensive enhancement.
When Teeth of Corrosion realized that he had stepped into a trap, he had already lost the confidence that he was determined to obtain.
On the other hand, stimulated by his totem armor’s enhancement and the chance of survival in a desperate situation, Platinum Embrace’s strength exploded by 120%.
The difference was too great. In an instant, Platinum Embrace completely suppressed Teeth of Corrosion’s arms.
Of course, it was impossible to kill his opponent with brute force alone.
To battle-level powerhouses like them, every piece of flesh on their body, including a single finger, a tail, and a feather, were all deadly weapons.
Teeth of Corrosion’s eyes were covered in blood.
The determination of a warrior breaking his wrist appeared on his face.
He promptly made up his mind. He would jump out of the trap even if he had to tear his arms at the shoulders.
Unfortunately, his determination came too late.
Just as he was about to abruptly exert his strength and tear his arms apart to break away from Platinum Embrace’s control…
Platinum Embrace released a shocking roar and pulled him into his arms. At the same time, the muscles and bones in Platinum Embrace’s chest contracted violently as if a giant hand made of steel had grown out of his chest. He grabbed the spear that had pierced through his chest and stabbed Teeth of Corrosion’s head fiercely.
If Teeth of Corrosion’s totem armor had still been intact, the spearhead would have definitely graze the arc-shaped armor on his helmet, drawing sparks along the way and bouncing off his head.
Unfortunately, the holy water had already corroded his armor all the way to the helmet and its protective surface.
The holy water had corroded a hole that was neither too big nor too small at the position of his left eye.
So, the spear that had pierced through Platinum Embrace’s chest followed this hole and easily pierced Teeth of Corrosion’s left eye and brain.
Fresh blood dripped out the back of his head.
Teeth of Corrosion immediately began to twitch violently as if he had been struck by lightning.
The astonishing vitality of advanced orcs and battle-level powerhouses was on display.
Even though his left eye had exploded and his entire head had been pierced through by the spear, he did not die immediately. He did not even give up on struggling.
He still tried his best to bend his knees and hit Platinum Embrace’s lower abdomen.
However, Platinum Embrace had already broken and let go of his opponent’s arms.
With a bear hug, he put Teeth of Corrosion in a vice grip.
He exerted strength in his arms at the same time, and they were like red-hot iron rings that cut into a wooden barrel bit by bit.
As such, Teeth of Corrosion’s arms, along with his chest, were tightened by Platinum Embrace.
His internal organs and even the bones in his chest were all squeezed into meat paste that spurted out from the bottom of his throat.
Platinum Embrace “hugged” him intensely while he simultaneously moved his pectoral muscles, causing the spear that had pierced through his chest and Teeth of Corrosion’s brain to vibrate at a high frequency of several hundred times per second.
Platinum Embrace was already prepared. He gathered all his totem power near the core of the spear to protect his heart as much as possible.
The vitality of an advanced orc was ridiculously strong. Even if his heart was damaged, it would not be instantly fatal.
Teeth of Corrosion was caught off guard, and his left eyeball, as well as his brain, were stirred into a mess.
His eyeball, brain, lungs, heart, spinal cord… all suffered a devastating blow.
Even if the tiger ancestral spirit descended from the sky, he would probably die on the spot again.
Finally, a series of gurgling sounds came from Teeth of Corrosion’s chest and abdomen. It was unknown whether he was wriggling or sighing.
Soon after, he stopped struggling.. His entire body collapsed in Platinum Embrace’s arms and became completely still.
