Chapter 595: Lightning Onslaught
by xennovelLightning flashed!
Boom!!
The battle erupted in an instant.
The four Otherworldly Ghosts controlled by Yenir suddenly appeared and struck first.
Confident in his abilities, Park Chan-eun charged in without hesitation.
Accompanied by a high-pitched hum of surging electricity, he was engulfed in electric sparks like a bolt of lightning as he suddenly lunged at Nguyen Tianming.
The air carried a faint scent of burning.
After his intense electric current blasted through the air, Park Chan-eun looked like a fearsome lightning beast, his presence formidable.
“Leave two melee fighters to me, and the other two to you!”
A harsh command rang out.
His hands clenched as if grasping thunder itself!
Harnessing surging electricity to accelerate and wielding a spear of thunder, Park Chan-eun sneered as he thrust with lightning speed!
A spear imbued with lightning! This was his signature move!
Anyone hit would suffer scalding heat and paralysis! Any Awakener engaging him up close would find it unbearable!
Though it appeared reckless, with meticulous intent, Park Chan-eun planned to eliminate the strongest: Nguyen Tianming!
As an explosive Agility-type Awakener wielding a combat knife, Nguyen Tianming posed the greatest threat to the others!
Among the remaining three, one fought using his fists—a Dual-Type: Strength and Body Awakener—whom he could easily subdue.
The other two, dressed in typical long-range gear, were left to his teammates.
Like a human spear, with just a little time in close combat, he was confident he could severely wound both opponents simultaneously!
In his eyes, even though two of them wore masks, they didn’t quite seem to belong to the same team as Nguyen Tianming.
Without overthinking, he assumed they were hastily assembled in the Vietnam War Zone—these four Peak Third-Stage fighters lacked coordination.
First, kill the seemingly strongest Nguyen Tianming! Then take out another Vietnamese melee fighter!
That way, the remaining two Peak Third-Stage long-range fighters would be nothing more than walking targets!
If he couldn’t take on two by himself, and his teammates were left in a 3-to-2 contest, they’d be utterly useless!
Bang!!
Dense bolts of lightning erupted from the blade’s edge.
As he closed in at high speed, Nguyen Tianming, wielding his combat knife in a furious slash, collided head-on with a lightning spear.
In an instant, flashes of electricity danced and web-like currents spread over the silent Middle-Aged Man.
A barrage of paralysis and stinging pain distorted his movements in an instant.
Ignoring the massive impact from the collision, Park Chan-eun sneered and swiftly redirected the lightning spear he’d just thrust, sweeping it toward another Third-Stage combatant approaching from the right.
Electricity howled.
At his right, a silent, almost robotic Vietnamese Awakener thumped his fists like cannon fire, crashing them down on him.
With immense force and accompanied by a roaring shockwave akin to a tiger’s howl, the impact shattered the surrounding cement.
That cannon-like punch would have smashed even a tank to pieces!
Even as two foes attacked simultaneously, Park Chan-eun, who had momentarily restrained Nguyen Tianming, paid no mind.
After a cold laugh, he surged forward like a thunder dragon, slicing through the incoming assault and sweeping his blade across his opponent’s chest!
Two melee fighters! Even though both were Peak Third-Stage, he paid them no heed!
Thinking of a sneak attack? They’d soon feel the full force of his lightning!
He was absolutely confident in his ability to paralyze his foes.
Dancing on the edge of a blade, one had to admit that although Park Chan-eun was cocky, his combat skills were top-notch.
At that moment, he boldly threaded his way through the onslaught, disregarding Nguyen Tianming’s next move, and with one sweeping strike, sent the two opponents flying in opposite directions.
Boom! Boom!!
In the blink of an eye, the two Vietnamese Awakeners were hurled away like cannonballs. Crackling electricity seared their skin, and after being slammed into the ground, they looked utterly battered.
Meanwhile, while Park Chan-eun had already gained the upper hand, the battle for the remaining five fighters had only just begun.
The Captain is too powerful!!
“Captain! Leave the rest to us!”
The entire team was galvanized!
Witnessing Park Chan-eun’s overwhelming prowess, both the remaining three Peak Third-Stage fighters and nearly a hundred Third-Stage Advanced combatants suddenly felt at ease.
These Vietnamese idiots—who knows which moron is commanding them!
Even when outnumbered, they dare to make a move against them!
No wonder even the weakest Huaguo fighter managed to turn the tables!
Before anyone realized it, although the battle had barely begun, every Awakener in the South Korean Battle Zone seemed to have victory firmly in hand.
Even the remaining three Peak Third-Stage fighters couldn’t help but underestimate their targets.
But the moment that thought crossed their minds, a rare Mental Disruption Effect instantly invaded their brains.
At the same time, a Third-Stage fighter who appeared to be a long-range specialist suddenly vanished into thin air, dissipating like a wisp of smoke.
What the—!?
ChI!!
A stabbing pain shot through him.
Just as he began to pull himself out of the chaos and regain clarity, an intense, searing pain surged through his chest.
A piercing blade had directly shattered his heart.
Hah–hah…
With a mouthful of crimson blood and his heart shattered by a single blow, he finally realized his enemy had appeared behind him!
Jin Wu!!
Damn it!! There’s an Assassin-type fighter!!
……………..
Meanwhile, on a nearby street amidst a horde of zombies,
standing amidst a pile of zombies, Yenir watched both sides locked in a desperate battle with casual nonchalance.
Behind him, a hundred-strong squad composed of twenty from the Huaguo Military and Vietnamese Authorities observed the battle with mixed expressions.
Under Yenir’s psychic shield, the Awakeners in the South Korean Battle Zone were completely unaware of their presence.
Of course, even if they had noticed, there was nothing they could do.
The two sides were locked in fierce combat.
Under the relentless assault of the Otherworldly Ghosts, even though Park Chan-eun could take on two opponents alone, the battle dragged on.
Gazing at Yenir’s nonchalant stance, Wang Tiejun from the Chinese Military couldn’t help but think everything was utterly absurd…
Especially when he saw Yenir leisurely pull out a fruit, munching while watching, his bewilderment deepened.
This hardly felt like a national battle…
In past national battles, every participant was on edge, nervous every moment, fearing even the slightest mishap.
Every battle was fought with a do-or-die mindset, and each nation approached them with extreme caution, constantly testing one another.
Now, after joining the national battle with Yenir, he had thought it would be a grueling fight for survival.
But he never expected that, from the moment the fight began until now, with two nations nearly wiped out, he hadn’t even gotten a chance to strike…
It was so easy and straightforward that it felt as if they were on vacation…
Of course, he understood that it was all due to Yenir’s terrifying prowess and the bizarre abilities he commanded…
After a brief sigh, he couldn’t imagine the commotion that would erupt throughout the Huaxia Battle Zone once they emerged.
If things continued like this, they’d most likely rank first!
Disregarding the mixed emotions of the Awakeners from both nations, Yenir, watching the spectacle, casually critiqued their abilities.
In fact, some aspects surprised him.
He never expected that among the four Peak Third-Stage fighters under his control, the strongest turned out to be that guy from the Japanese Battle Zone.
Emm…
He recalled that when he had nearly killed the guy back then, he hadn’t thought much of the Japanese Awakener’s strength…
But now, it appeared that this ‘puppet’—whose name he never even inquired about—had power rivaling that of Lu Haishan.
Coordinating his attack, he managed to one-shot a Peak Third-Stage fighter! With a full set of Assassin Skills, he was truly something else!
Shaking off his unease, Yenir no longer pondered and simply looked at Park Chan-eun with interest.
This electric rat… if caught, would be incredibly useful…
Even if used as a self-destruct bomb rat, it could wipe out an entire area.
Muttering to himself, Yenir considered that the seemingly formidable Park Chan-eun was nothing short of the perfect electric bomb.
Fast-moving and armed with elemental power.
Once transformed into an Otherworldly Ghost, the potential was even more exciting!
He had even considered capturing a large number of Peak Third-Stage fighters to deploy in national battles; unknowingly, Yenir’s mindset had begun to shift.
Capture them and wipe out their nation! Taking dozens of Peak Third-Stage fighters out—wouldn’t that terrify Lu Haishan and the others?
