Chapter 683
The Legendary Man
Chapter 683 Provide Assistance Whoosh As a piercing sound tore through the air, Sabino instinctively raised his gun and shot at the silhouette in the distance.
A shower of sparks flew out, but the silhouette merely waved a hand and conjured a massive shield to deflect all the bullets.
The javelin accurately penetrated the shipâs hull, and to Sabinoâs surprise, there was also a long rope attached to it.
At the same time, the silhouette that had mysteriously appeared grabbed the rope and began surfing the waves with the shield.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Loud, crisp gunshots instantly rang out as Two fired his sniper rifle from the highest point of the cruise shipâs mast.
To his surprise, the mysterious man swayed from side to side and expertly dodged all the bullets. Since the man was inching closer to the Medev, Sabino hastily grabbed his dagger and jumped off the ship.
Once he had a good grip on the javelin, he hung from it and started hacking away at the rope.
Despite being twenty meters away, it didnât take long before the Remdik cultivator figured out what Sabino was trying to do. How could he not when the rope shook violently with every slash of the dagger?
The next second, the cultivator ditched his shield and leaped up, only to land firmly on the ship.
âHow dare you!â Sabino shouted as he drew his spear and made a beeline for the Remdikian. D*mn it!
That manâs a beginner phase Grandmaster like me!
âAwoo!â With a terrifying roar, the Remdik cultivatorâs muscles swelled rapidly, but what proved to be even more shocking was when brown fur began sprouting all over his body.
In the blink of an eye, the strapping Remdikian had morphed into a half-man, half-wolf monster.
Undeterred, Sabino gripped his spear and thrust it toward the werewolfâs chest. Huh? Is that bestialization?
Alas, the werewolf merely roared and swiped at the spear tip with its sharp claws.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Within seconds, the razor-sharp spear had been smashed into pieces while the werewolf remained unscathed.
Then, it swiftly lashed out at Sabino and clawed his chest.
Bang! Following the gunshot, a bullet ripped through the werewolfâs shoulder and tore out a chunk of flesh. As it turned out, it was Two who had fired the shot.
He got a perfect view of his target when Sabino was attacked and knew he had to take immediate action. Unfortunately, the shot did nothing more than send the monster into a complete frenzy.
Now that the deck had been shattered, the werewolf sprung up and charged at Two.
Without further ado, the latter jumped down, turned around mid-air, and fired another shot at the werewolf.
Bang!
The recoil from the sniper rifle was so strong that it flung Two out of the cruise ship.
Thankfully, Sabino grabbed his friendâs belt in the nick of time and tossed him back onto the ship aisle.
âIâll stop the werewolf. You guys retreat with Layla and Killian!â
âWeâre on a ship, for goodnessâ sake! Where the hell can I retreat to?â Two grumbled as he scampered away.
Just as the werewolf was about to give chase, Sabino raised his dagger and stabbed it in its back.
âIâm your enemy! Come at me!â he thundered before jabbing the werewolf below its right rib.
The werewolf tried reaching behind to claw at Sabino, but the latter was too agile and easily evaded it.
Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, the werewolf let out a ferocious howl.
âAwoo!â
With that, two other wolf howls suddenly rang out from the shore.
Sabino promptly turned around, only to see two men running along the shore as they chased after the cruise ship.
Following their howls, the men leaped into the air and transformed into half-man, half-wolf monsters.
Now that their speeds had more than doubled, they became faster than ever.
Sabino looked toward the river bank, and when he saw the bridge overarching the Lerner River, he immediately knew what the werewolves had in mind.
âAbandon ship!â Sabino shouted into his communication device. âI want everyone to abandon ship this instance!â
Those two werewolves are also in the Grandmaster Realm. If they get to the bridge before us, thereâs no doubt they can board the Medev with just one leap. Iâm the only Grandmaster on my team, and I sure as hell wonât be able to fend off three werewolves at the same time.
Back on the deck, the werewolf stared coldly at Sabino before dashing toward both sides of the ship.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Seconds later, the wire ropes attached to the lifeboats broke entirely.
Even though winter had only just begun in Remdik, the temperature had already fallen thirty degrees below zero.
If there werenât any lifeboats, plunging into the icy waters would undoubtedly lead to hypothermia and death.
Therefore, it was clear that the werewolf was out to destroy all escape routes for everyone on the ship.
Naturally, the entire situation left Sabino feeling like he was at his witsâ end.
I started with fifty members in Blood Squad, but now, only eight are left. In another three hours or so, Iâd be able to disembark near Redlington and safely transfer Layla and Killian. I hate that we have to run into so many problems! No. I wonât allow my mission to be ruined!
âTurn the ship around and travel upstream. No matter what, we canât go past the bridge. Otherwise, weâll all die!â Sabino ordered before charging at the werewolf.
âFreeze!â
As Sabino unleashed his force field, an invisible ring of spiritual energy instantly surrounded the werewolf However, the effect quickly dissipated because Sabino was too stunned by his discovery.
Wait a minute⦠The werewolf doesnât know how to use force fields!
Alas, the werewolf decided not to waste any more time fighting with the man and made a mad dash for the control room.
âStop right there!â Sabino shouted as he once again unleashed his force field.
This time around, however, he didnât want to freeze the werewolf entirely. Instead, he used his spiritual energy to bind its feet, sending it crashing onto the deck.
Bang!
The next second, Sabino lunged at the werewolf and prepared to stab his dagger into the back of its neck.
Just as he managed to do so, the werewolf broke free of the restraints and body-slammed itself into Sabino.
The latter crashed into the railings as waves of pain washed over him.
Meanwhile, the werewolf pulled the dagger out of its shoulder and glared at Sabino.
âYouâre too weak!â he scoffed before picking the man up and throwing him at the control room door.
Right when Sabino crashed into the door, a ball of spiritual energy enveloped him and gently lifted him into the air.
The werewolf immediately looked up, only to see a man in white standing atop the cruise ship.
âAre you Sabino Quirrell? Karl Hamilton sent me here to assist you. Are his wife and kid still alive?â
Stellario asked while looking at the tracker in his hand.
Having sensed the manâs scarily powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy, Sabino curled his lips into a smile.
âYouâve come at the perfect time, Sir. Any later, and weâd all be dead.â
âJust doing my job.â
With that, Stellario glanced around the ship and casually popped a ball of black matter into Sabinoâs mouth.
âThatâs the egg of a Lupine bug. Even though itâs poisonous, it wonât kill you and will even help ease your pain. Sit back and relax for now. Iâll handle the rest.â
