Chapter 1109: 1109
Although the Violent Beasts were simply enduring the bullets at the moment, Sheyan believed in one simple truth - the desire to survive was always greater than anything else . Their persistence right now was just a facade . The breaking point would soon come .
When the death count of the Violent Beasts passed a certain critical point, being intelligent creatures, they would certainly abandon the Xenomorphs and run away . However, the Xenomorphs could not run away with them because they would be reluctant to abandon their young that were about to hatch .
And that was the chance Sheyan was quietly waiting for, like a wolf hiding its claws .
Soon, the first critical point was reached .
But the Violent Beasts did not disperse and run away like Sheyan had anticipated . Instead, the severe losses they sustained had resulted in a huge retaliation . A large number of Violent Beasts rushed down from the island, roaring and howling wildly, and plunged into the water which had caused them so much pain . They soon crowded the water like dumplings in a pot .
Despite the loud screams of agony, despite the rashes and bulges that appeared on their body, despite the unbearable itch, and despite the cramps, the threat of death forced them to stubbornly and slowly move towards the humans .
Nevertheless, such an event was not entirely out of Sheyan's expectation . He turned to look at Pokan . Pokan pointed towards Aldaris and rocks immediately grew out of the ground to form a solid cover around Aldaris, leaving only a small hole to allow him to see . Then, Aldaris started the chant for 'Spiritual Storm'!
The Violent Beasts' slow travel speed in the swamp water, their astonishing density, and the low amount of life they had left formed a deadly noose that was slowly wrapping around their necks .
When the chant for 'Spiritual Storm' concluded, the storm that had ravaged madly through the air appeared once more and extended into a web of death . The web descended to completely pour the caster's rage and anger onto the targets!
'Spiritual Storm' lasted for twelve seconds, covering almost the whole distance between the island and the dike .
Aldaris was undoubtedly an arrogant bastard, but he had good reason to be arrogant . Take the 'Spiritual Storm', for example . The theoretical total damage done by a full 12 seconds of the storm was very alarming; it was a daunting number .
Normally, the average Violent Beast could last up to seven seconds in the storm before it died, while the elites could last for eight seconds . Even the legendary Violent Beasts could not last more than ten seconds . Therefore, highly intelligent creatures like the Xenomorphs would definitely not let Aldaris have his way!
If they could not stop Aldaris' attack at once, or at least within seven seconds, all the Violent Beasts that still had the courage to attack would be dead . The only thing that awaited them would be a major defeat!
This was Sheyan's brilliant scheme which the Xenomorphs had no choice but to follow! Once a real tactical master grasped the initiative in a battle, the enemy could only move according to their will like a marionette, until failure or until death .
The only chance left for the Xenomorphs was to carve a bloody path to survival with their claws, their sharp teeth, their long tails, and their corrosive acid!
Suddenly, sprays of water burst from three spots near the dike and came down pouring onto the humans like giant waves . The Xenomorphs were evidently trying to disrupt their vision . It was a pity that the actions of the Xenomorphs underwater was fully visible to Sheyan thanks to the amazing 'Carbon-Based Organism Detector, Type III' .
In fact, Sheyan never expected that the equipment he had inadvertently obtained in the Terminator world would be put to such great use here!
First came a huge rock that fell down from the sky . The rock was about the width of a grinding disc and weighed hundreds of kilograms . Besides its weight, the impact when it struck was also enhanced by the additional momentum from dropping dozens of meters from the sky . If there was enough casting time, the rock should also be enveloped in a blazing flame, and there should be seven other similar rocks crashing down together with it .
That's right, it was the famous Earth-elemental spell, 'Meteor Shower' (don't ask me why Meteor Shower is an Earth-elemental spell, please ask the game developers instead) . . . . or at least, the simplified, diminished, poor man's version of one . And because it was the simplified, diminished, poor man's version, the casting time had been reduced from 7 seconds to 1 second, and the precious casting materials could be done without .
The rock struck down on a Xenomorph just as it was leaping out of the water, breaking its shell and causing a spray of blackish-brown corrosive blood . White smoke rose as the blood corroded the rock with a fierce hiss .
The monstrous impact from the collision broke the rock into pieces that flew everywhere, but nobody cared about that . What was important was that it had done its job in smashing the Xenomorph back into the water . That was enough .
