Chapter 367: Ultimate Skill, Sunset Sword

Attack!

However, though the Octopus Commander became angry and used three tentacles at once, the players on the platform were not fighting alone!

Bang! Bang!

After Feng Luo began, Skynet and Watermelon Skin, who had equipped the Barrett, also began firing from their sniper rifles. Moreover, they fired the C-grade Shield-breaking Energy Bullets with the blue glow that caused relatively high damage.
Feng Luo knew the Commander monster was not going to be an easy opponent. Even with 24K’s help, the players on the platform had to do their utmost to support him. That was the reason why he decided that it wasn’t the time to be stingy about his special ammunition. Moreover, under the effect of skills, Watermelon Skin’s accuracy increased.
Two Shield-breaking Energy Bullets hit the giant tentacles that crushed the fortified glass of the building, puncturing the tentacles and making fist-sized holes in them as pieces of flesh and liquid splashed into the air.

Pa!

At the same time, a medicine bullet carrying gray liquid within it followed and hit one of the new tentacles that appeared.
Although Azure had some trouble facing the disgusting zombies and infected monsters, the Giant Octopus Commander was not a problem at all.
At that moment, she was holding a white-colored sci-fi styled pistol that looked stylishly similar to the Tyrant’s gun. Apart from throwing potions and tonics on players at close distance, Doctors in War were also able to use uniquely structured medical pistols to fire potions carrying all kinds of effects and functions at close range. Unfortunately, these medicine bullets were expensive to manufacture and even purchase. In a certain sense, it was as expensive as Snipers using special ammunition.
However, the effects were also significant. After the medicine bullet hit the new tentacle of the octopus, the liquid within the bullet was instantaneously injected into the tentacle. Immediately after that, the originally dark brown spot on the tentacle that was hit turned gray and then the gray began to spread.

Spread area energy resistance reduced by 15%, physical defense reduced by 10%, neural reaction slowed down by 12%. Lasts 15 seconds!

Azure quickly reported the effects of the drug on the party channel. Of course, the actual effects also depended on the resistance of the Giant Octopus Commander; without a Scout available, there was no way for them to know!
However, everyone knew that it wasn’t that important to know how effective the drug was since, in their current condition where they could not retreat, their only option was to initiate an all-out attack.

Wuuuu!

The Level 50 Giant Octopus Commander’s tentacle was continuously hit by players’ attacks. It was also constantly receiving the long-range attacks of the four Elite Spray Beetles and three Steel Beetles on its shell, fur, and defenseless tentacles. In an instant, its tentacles were filled with bullet holes or parts corroded by the spit of the Spray Beetles.
That was why another low growl came from the building across the platform. Soon after that, the two newer tentacles along with the tentacle severed by My World began extending towards the platform!

Manipulators!

However, just as the Level 50 Octopus Commander was in the midst of its violent attack, it failed to notice the air above its three tentacles heating up.

[Sunset Sword]!

The Fire Manipulator from the other group initiated his attack under the protection of his Heavy Armor Warrior teammate as well as an energy shield from the rearguard of the team. He looked a little nervous, but his energy converter was activated to its maximum when Feng Luo shouted.
Immediately, the projection of a fiery sword appeared at the top of the energy converter.
No, not just above the energy converter — it was also in the sky above everyone’s head!

Boom!

The huge amount of fire energy that had been brewing in the sky above the platform as well as the main building of the hotel suddenly converged to a center position.
The fire energy condensed together and turned into the shape of a long sword above the energy converter of the Fire Manipulator. It became a flame sword over ten meters long. After that, it dropped downwards while carrying the frighteningly hot flame that burned everything in its way!
The Fire Manipulator had decent equipment. His main weapon was a Level 45 Excellent Grade weapon; moreover, Fire Manipulators’ skills always had a high damage bonus.

Boom!

The midsections of the Giant Octopus’ three tentacles that were stretched straight and were holding on to beetles as well as close to Steel Fortress was instantly hit by this giant sword formed by fire energy. The longsword crumbled and shrouded the entire place in flame after the strike.
However, the flame did not immediately extinguish; instead, it spread throughout the sky and shrouded the entire place in fire, burning the three tentacles!

Tssssttt!

Smells of roasted octopus instantly filled the air.
Even the wet surface of the octopus’ tentacles was roasted dry in the searing heat. Moreover, after the tentacles were stretched, the parts hit by the skill were not even more than half a meter thick. As a result, the parts struck by the tip of the fiery longsword had changed color and seemed as if they were already half-cooked. As for the tentacle that had already reached the platform, the front end was also affected; it spasmed and fell on the platform before quickly retreating backward.
Sunset Sword.
Another Level 40 Ultimate Skill that Fire Manipulators could learn apart from Meteor Rain.
Although it did not have as huge a range and damage over time like Meteor Rain, in terms of style and magnificence, it did not lose in any way. Moreover, its attack was quite good.
Due to the giant flame sword that fell from the sky hitting all three tentacles, the Fire Manipulator saw three unexpected damage popup messages.
This skill caused over 7,000 damage on the Giant Octopus Commander with one skill. Fire Manipulators’ skill damage was not a joke!

Wuuuuu!

Another painful growl came from the building across them.
The Giant Octopus Commander that had, once again, failed to capture any food finally moved its entire body!

Boom!

The fortified glass on the entire floor was crushed by the pressure. A large shadow appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
A pair of orange eyes the size of a small round table stared at the players on the platform while a large and soft body completely filled the five-meter building fully, leaving no gaps at all.
Apart from water originally used to rear seafood inside the building, blood flowed and dripped down from the edge of the building!

Fck! This body size… If it gets on the platform, the building will simply collapse!


But no wonder it did not rush here in the beginning — it looks like it has been limited by the height of the building.

The Giant Octopus Commander showed its real body and its large size took the players’ breath away. However, it also made the players relax a little since the hotel did not permit the Level 50 Giant Octopus Commander to move freely, which was why it could only use three tentacles to attack. And now, though it had tried to use five tentacles to attack, it was not easy.
Moreover, since it had crushed all the fortified glasses that protected the area, it also provided more angles for the players to directly target its body.

Bang!

Feng Luo was first to fire without any hesitation.

-4266!

After reloading, a gunshot rang as the Eye of the Thunder fired a C-grade Shield-breaking Energy Bullet towards the monster. The bullet accurately struck the eye of the Giant Octopus Commander and blew a fist-sized hole in its orange right eye!
Although it was only a weakness damage, the damage number was a lot higher than when he was shooting at the tentacles. Weakness damage was distinct in that it depended on the structure of the monster. Clearly, hitting a few important parts on the Octopus Commander dealt a lot more damage than hitting the tentacles.
Feng Luo was not the only one who noticed this. Watermelon Skin, Skynet, and even the Fire Manipulator saw it, too.
Everyone’s attack target switched instantly. They no longer bothered with the three retreating tentacles; instead, they put all their focus on the head of the Octopus Commander stuck between the building as it could not rush out at the moment.
Additionally, the seven Elite beetles with long-range attacks also joined the fun. Damage numbers in the hundreds and thousands suddenly started appearing above the head of the Level 50 Giant Octopus Commander!

There’s our chance!

In the few minutes after the battle began, the long-range attacks of the seven beetles and four players took out at least 100,000 of the Giant Octopus’ HP. Adding the earlier damage, its HP was probably already halved; it looked like eliminating it was going to be easier than imagined.

Wuuu! Wuuu!

The Giant Octopus inside the building growled in anger. However, since its body was stuck and its movement was restricted by the building, even as it struggled and shook the entire building, it still could not adjust enough to send its other tentacles over. It could only stay on the receiving end, taking damage from the players’ attacks.
It was a good thing it had already retracted its tentacles. It used its three tentacles that were half their original length to try to prevent the players from scoring direct hits to its eyes and brain.

Wait, half its tentacles? When did all three of its tentacles break?


Hurry, above the platform!

Feng Luo reacted quickly and shouted.

Bang!

The Eye of the Thunder was already aiming towards a specific direction and had just released a Shield-breaking Energy Bullet. However, at some unknown juncture in time, the three retracted tentacles were already broken earlier when it was being burned, and the burned parts were completely severed from the octopus’ body.
Somehow, the broken off tentacles did not die. At the moment, they were still rolling around and moving quickly as their shapes changed quickly. It was not just three tentacles — there was also that small section cut down by My World earlier.
While Feng Luo was shooting, four octopus tentacle parts had become four small Octopus monsters. They made weird noises as they waved around their tiny tentacles, charging and moving across the platform covered in infected monster corpses and flesh towards the players and Elite Beetle groups.
The unexpected change caught the players by surprise!
