Chapter 981: Chapter 981
Chapter 978: Twelve Mirror Worlds
In the military, being a sharpshooter is a tremendous honor, only bestowed upon those with the most superb marksmanship skills.
But this doesn't mean snipers are only skilled at long-range attacks.
An excellent sniper often needs to possess powerful comprehensive combat capabilities.
As for close-quarters combat skills, for Baldier, a Navy SEAL, they were ingrained in his very bones.
A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Baldier's mouth.
From the few times Zhang Yi had drawn his blade, he could tell that although Zhang Yi had received professional training, he wasn't truly proficient.
So Zhang Yi wasn't a superhuman strong in close combat.
At the very least, compared to him, a Navy SEAL, he was far inferior.
The three arrows had temporarily sealed Zhang Yi's Dimensional Space ability while also distracting him.
He was certain Zhang Yi would never expect him to use this move.
In an instant, Baldier had already arrived right in front of Zhang Yi.
His left arm crossed in front of his chest, the thick and powerful limb swiftly slashing toward Zhang Yi's neck.
Crimson superhuman energy enveloped the dagger, making this already extremely dangerous weapon appear even more terrifying.
A look of astonishment flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes.
But soon, it transformed into mockery and derision.
Who said my Dimensional Gates could only open in front of me?
A kilometer away, the crimson arrow that had been absorbed into the Dimensional Space suddenly flew out, then rapidly changed direction, charging toward Zhang Yi once again.
But this brief moment was already fatal for experts.
And Zhang Yi opened another gate right in front of him.
By the time Baldier realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
His arm, following its high-speed movement, had already plunged into the Dimensional Space.
His pupils contracted sharply - he understood that once he entered the opponent's space, life and death would be entirely at the other's mercy.
But at this moment, he couldn't dodge in time because he had used all his strength in this strike, and the Dimensional Gate was right before his eyes.
Just as Baldier's nose was less than a centimeter away from the Dimensional Gate, a sudden change occurred.
Before Zhang Yi's eyes, Baldier inexplicably vanished.
A giant wolf appeared there instead, then abruptly plunged into the Dimensional Space.
Zhang Yi was somewhat surprised.
But the next moment, he saw Baldier appear several hundred meters away.
Zhang Yi instantly understood what Baldier's ability was.
The numerous giant wolves Baldier summoned didn't actually possess outstanding combat power.
Initially, they only served as Baldier's nose and eyes, helping him track prey.
And now, they had revealed a second function.
Either swapping positions with Baldier.
Or Baldier could transfer his true body to any of the giant wolves at any time, while his original body transformed into a giant wolf.
This was why Baldier would summon hundreds of giant wolves at once, distributing them around Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi frowned slightly. With this setup, to kill Baldier, he would have to completely eliminate all the wolf packs around him.
However, if he ascended and attacked using the Dark Realm, he couldn't guarantee simultaneously enveloping both Baldier and the wolf packs within the attack range.
After all, Baldier's speed after taking the drug was exceptionally fast, making it entirely possible for him to evade the attack range.
And at that point, Zhang Yi would instead enter a weakened state due to excessive energy consumption. Updates are released by N()velFire.net
"No need to rush, let's take it slow! Time is on my side."
Zhang Yi calmed himself down.
Hua Hua continued attacking the wolf packs. Those giant wolves were far inferior to Hua Hua in combat power, and many were quickly slaughtered.
But the wolf packs were exceptionally cunning. As Ability Creatures transformed from Baldier, they didn't engage Hua Hua in close combat, instead doing their best to evade its attacks.
All to buy time for Baldier to kill Zhang Yi as quickly as possible.
Baldier gave Zhang Yi no time to strategize, drawing his bow and nocking arrows once again - three more arrows came flying toward Zhang Yi!
Zhang Yi now had no choice but to activate the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms, creating a comprehensive, gap-free defense around himself.
But this meant he would become a stationary target, unable to use spatial traversal for movement.
Baldier's eyes were bloodshot - his combat power had now reached Epsilon level.
Knowing time was critical, he frantically drew his bowstring, arrows pouring down like torrential rain from all directions toward Zhang Yi!
And once the number of arrows reached a certain threshold, the Dimensional Space would directly collapse from being unable to bear the excessive energy!
At the Colombian Navy command center, Huo En watched the scene before him and couldn't help but exclaim:
"What incredible defensive power! Even Uller had to use X Compound to suppress him."
Keludi said with a serious expression: "But now, he's definitely going to die!"
X Compound possessed stronger effects than Compound-5, but also came with more terrifying side effects.
The price Baldier paid was the loss of his lifespan and injuries that would be difficult to heal for the rest of his life.
But he considered it all worthwhile because Chaos deserved this level of response.
As a soldier, surviving a brutal battlefield was already the greatest fortune.
Living a few years less was still easier to accept than death, disability, or suffering from terrible post-war syndrome.
On the battlefield, Zhang Yi, protected within the spherical barrier of the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms, frowned slightly.
Under such relentless attacks, he had no way to dodge.
Streaks of crimson light flashed like lightning, continuously expanding within his Dimensional Space. The powerful energy accumulated like a progress bar filling up.
Once that progress bar filled completely, his Dimensional Space would completely collapse!
Uller held his compound bow, a smile of having caught large prey curling his lips.
At this moment, he believed the battle's outcome was decided - unless Zhang Yi similarly used drugs to boost his power, he would certainly lose!
However, if Zhang Yi did use drugs, well, that would be even better.
Because Zhang Yi, in order to ambush the joint forces' superhumans, was currently positioned within the joint forces' territory.
Even if both of them fought until crippled, any superhuman unit arriving now could finish the job.
But just at this moment, Baldier suddenly noticed a slight smile curling at the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth.
It seemed like mockery, yet deliberately restrained.
"Is this all you're capable of now? If you think this alone can kill me, you have no chance."
"Twelvefold, Mirror World!"
As Zhang Yi's words fell, ten massive Dimensional Gates suddenly appeared in the air around him as the center.
And his body instantly vanished from within the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms.
The number of Dimensional Gates he could now open was no longer just two, but twelve!
Everyone was progressing, and Zhang Yi was no exception.
