Chapter 1233 Five Seconds

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

----------------------

Heavy winds dispersed dust in all directions, covering up the entire vicinity in a couple of moments.

E.E understood that this was Gustav's plan and swiftly followed up by jumping into one of the holes in the ground along with Angy while the dust covered their whereabouts.

The visibility in the environment had been hindered due to the dust and the beasts had been affected as well. Fortunately, Angy and E.W were not noticed when they jumped into one of the holes to hide.

However, on the other side, Gustav didn't try to hide in the cloud of dust. This was a part of his plan.

Fwwwhii~

Gustav's frame sped out of a corner of the cloud of the dust, instantly becoming visible to the beasts outside of the dust covered area.

"Ryuuuhhhh!"

"Sssiiiihhhh!"

The beasts loud voices rang out across the vicinity, alerting the others of the position of their prey. The skeletal flying beasts as well as the multiple lower limbed beasts all turned in the direction of the others alerting them from outside the cloud of dust.

Since Gustav was the only visible one of the the three, they all rushed at him while moving further and further away from Angy and E.E's position.

Gustav kept running as fast as he could to garner more distance between himself and the area where E.E and Angy had separated with him.

No matter how fast he went, he was still no match for the speed of the flying and land beasts who were catching up at frightening pace.

In less than a minute, some of the skeletal flying creatures arrived behind Gustav, sweeping their wings forward.

Fwws.h.i.+~

Gustav jumped into one of the holes at a timely mannsr, barely dodging the purplish sharp waves that blasted forward with intensity.

With a speed that was only a little faster than the average human, Gustav was still hit by some of the residue energy causing him to slam face down into the bottom of the hole.

[- 50 Life points]

"I still got a lot of that to go around," Gustav muttered as he arduously pushed himself back up, ignoring the raging pain in his joints.

One of the skeletal beast swooped down with speed at this point while bearing its talons in a bid to land on Gustav, however, he managed to pull himself out of the hole in the last second.

Bang!

A small wave of dust spread forth from the hole as the creature landed within and Gustav resumed running forward.

The beasts were closing in from every direction at this point and it seemed like Gustav wouldn't be able to evade them for more than a few minutes if he was lucky.

Gustav knew there was no way out of this but he wanted to make sure he brought the beasts a safe distance away from E.E and Angy so they could get away without being noticed.

He had decided that he would put his all to it even if this was the last thing he did before getting disqualified. He didn't care about that right now so long as they remained.

Swwwiihh~ Swwwiihhh~ Swwwiihh~

Gustav was doing his possible best to escape the attacks descended from above but no matter how much he tried, he would still get hit by parts of the blasts.

He could make calculations on their trajectory and how far he would have to move to completely escape the purplish arcs generated from the wings of the skeletal beasts but it still took speed to actually execute such successfully.

He was losing life points at very high rate and his ears were ringing intensely but he didn't stop. He would get blasted across the air for tens of feet, crash onto the ground, and slide for a couple more feet yet Gustav remained unrelenting.

He would pick himself up again and keep running despite feeling blood rus.h.i.+ng to his head. He felt like his limbs would disconnect from each other and fall off despite still having over eight thousand life points.

Some of the multiple lower limbed beasts had arrived before him at this point and were jumping onto him and raining kicks on his body.

Gustav couldn't evade these ones and rolled on the ground, falling into a hole ahead which helped him to slip out of their grasp.

He was still losing life points at an insane rate due to attacks attacks were coming from every direction. Fortunately, due to their high numbers, the attacks from above was slamming into the multiple lower limbed beasts as well.

So it turned out to be a win lose situation at this point. Gustav had not been completely caught due to this but he was running out of steam. His nose was running, his entire body was sweaty and his vision was starting to turn blurry.

He felt he must have gone far enough at this point but kept going, deciding that he wouldn't stop till he could no longer stop moving.

Fwwhiii~ Fwwhii~ Fhwwii~ Fwwhii~

A couple of seconds later the skeletal creatures were swooping down from above in tens while the lower limbed beasts were leaping towards Gustav at the same time in high numbers.

They approached in waves unlike before where some of them hadn't managed to meet up, descending in such high numbers that it looked like a swarm of darkness.

Gustav was unable to take another step forward as they landed on him in droves, completely covering him up. Their weight pressed against him like the weight of a mountain as his face kissed the ground.

All that could be seen before him was darkness along with the small glow of the computerised internal helm the Iov bracelet created.

Gustav was losing hundreds of life points in a second and reckoned that it would take less than three minutes before his life points were depleted to zero.

He struggled to reach his left arm, barely tapping on it despite not being able to raise his face from the ground. He had no idea what was currently displayed on the surface of the Iov bracelet, he could only hope he was tapping on the functions he had in mind.

"If I'm gonna get disqualified, i might as well take as many of these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds with me as I can," Gustav managed to curse under his hurried breath as he pressed his Iov bracelet surface against the ground with his last strength.

Trrihh~

He barely heard the sound of the bracelet depicting that his last attack had been activated.

[Unlocking Partic.i.p.ant Supernatural Abilities For Ten Seconds]

If Gustav could see the display on his arm at the moment, he wouldn't have been able to believe his eyes. However, this didn't stop him from suddenly opening his tired eyes widely as he suddenly felt streams of energy flowing into him.

'I didn't get rid of the restrictions on my abilities did I?' He internally wondered with a confused expression.

[9 Seconds]

The instant a beeping sound rang in his ears, he raised his head with ease and stared at the Iov bracelet on his left arm.

"Ohhh so that's why," Gustav immediately understood as his fatigue disappeared along with all of the pains he had been afflicted from the barrages of attacks.

The view from above displayed hundreds of beasts bodies gathered in a particular area like a hill. They had piled on Gustav and from anyone's point of view, it seemed like he was done for...

Boooom!

A loud blast suddenly rang out as a reddish wave of energy spread forth from Gustav being.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The hundreds of beasts initially surrounding him got sent flying in every direction with their limbs seperating from their bodies.

Green and blue blood rained like a fountain as body parts fell from the air as well. Gustav stood to his feet with a menancing gaze in his eyes as the aura emitting from his figure caused the vicinity to tremble from pressure.

[8 Seconds]

His figure turned illusionary as hs dashed across the vicinity, driving his fists into the heads of the beasts that were left.

Bang!

They were unable to escape his onslaught as he moved like a phantom arriving before the next target once he had finished ripping one to shreds.

Fwwiiihh~

Heads were still falling from the air, yet Gustav had ripped five more before they could touch the ground.

He leapt into the air and grabbed a skeletal creature by the head, forcibly ripping it from the neck before flinging it with immense force.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A line of four Skeletal creatures were instantly burrowed with holes as the head turned into a projectile that tore through them mercilsessly. Gustav was like the harbinger of death at this moment, leaping from one creature to another and leaving holes in them before they could even understand what was going on.
