Disaster Strikes
Chapter 45:

Chapter 45 Swinging the Meteor Hammer

This mutated elite black-robed thug was completely different from the other black-robed thugs that Chen Mo had encountered before.

"Hmph!"

The black-robed elite with a full face of angular muscles let out a sinister laugh from the depths of his throat. In his hand was a chained meteor hammer, slowly rotating above his head. Combined with his body weight of over two hundred kilograms standing in front of Chen Mo and his group, he exerted considerable pressure.

"We'll focus on dealing with this elite."

Chen Mo's words also brought Ku Wu and Han Xue back to their senses.

The scene just now where One-eyed dragon killed the Fire Fist esper was truly shocking. If the target of the attack had been them, the result would have been certain death. No wonder Tian Tian didn't even have the intention to come in and investigate. She clearly knew the strength of this One-eyed dragon leader.

However as Chen Mo said no matter how strong this One-eyed dragon leader was, there were others who could deal with him. Right now, they needed to find a way to get rid of his wingman, which would be the greatest contribution to this battle.

With this in mind, the two focused their attention and threw themselves into the battle against this black-robed elite.

Chen Mo manipulated his psychic ball and launched a long-range attack on this black-robed elite.

Bang!

The meteor hammer of this black-robed elite perfectly resisted Chen Mo's psychic ball attack. After deflecting Chen Mo's psychic ball, the sound of it breaking through the air came.

The attack speed of the meteor hammer was extremely fast and Chen Mo couldn't dodge at all, directly suffering a solid blow from this black-robed elite's meteor hammer.

Prompt: Your shield value -52.

Feeling like he had been heavily hit in the chest, Chen Mo flew about two meters before falling to the ground almost unable to catch his breath.

This created a gap in the three-person encirclement. The only good news was that while this black-robed elite used the meteor hammer for both offence and defence, therefore his attack frequency was quite low.

After swinging the meteor hammer, he needed to drag the iron ball at the other end of the metal chain slowly back to his hand. Even after pulling the meteor hammer back to his side, he still needed to swing it over his head again to build up power for the second round of defence and attack.

During the time he swung the meteor hammer, he was able to effectively block various long-range attacks. With this in mind, the high attack power of this mutated black-robed elite was somewhat justifiable.

Ku Wu immediately saw through the trick. He shouted and then pounced forward grabbing the meteor hammer that the black-robed elite dragged on the ground, using his own weight to slow down the speed at which the other was pulling back the meteor hammer.

Han Xue saw this opportunity and using her speed circled around to the back of the black-robed elite continuously attacking him with the dagger in her hand.

"I can't hold on much longer!" Ku Wu, who was being dragged by the black-robed elite, shouted out.

Eventually, due to the absolute difference in strength between the two sides, the black-robed elite forcibly pulled back the meteor hammer and gradually began to rotate it again above his head.

Ku Wu and Han Xue quickly stepped out of the attack range of this mutated black-robed elite's meteor hammer.

"Roar!"

The black-robed elite let out a roar.

Different from the savage charge skill of other black-robed elites, after this mutated black-robed elite roared, although his body also expanded at a visible speed, his raging muscles burst through the suit he was wearing in a short moment, he did not charge forward.

It seemed that he had only completed a transformation, changing from a fat man to a muscular man and his appearance became much more ferocious.

"Hiss!"

Ku Wu took a deep breath and said, "Indeed worthy of a mutated elite, his strength must has increased by almost 30 points, right?"

Chen Mo, who had climbed up from the ground, looked towards the martial artist Zhang Qiang.

At this moment, he alone was confronting another black-robed elite.

The weapon of this black-robed elite was a long-handled hammer. It should be noted that Zhang Qiang possessed the strength of a small leader level, but when facing this black-robed elite he was equally struggling with the situation going back and forth.

It seems that these two mutated black-robed elites have almost reached the elite level of higher-tier units, that is the strength of the half-lion among the bio-beasts, which is close to that of a small leader.

When the mutated black-robed elite swung the meteor hammer, a visible airflow actually formed around him, with his eyes scanning the three of them constantly ready to launch an attack at any time.

While Chen Mo was vigilant, he analyzed camly, "Although his attack strength is high, it requires a considerable amount of preparation time. If one person actively withstands his damage, it will create an opportunity."

Taking a deep breath Chen Mo continued, "This time I'll continue to withstand his damage and you guys seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack!"

Bang!

The damage from the meteor hammer was truly astonishing but the strength of the despicable mind shield was undoubtedly higher. After consecutively enduring two strikes from this mutated black-robed elite's meteor hammer, it still maintained considerable strength and was not broken.

Prompt: Your shield value -57.

It seems that the opponent's attack damage did not increase much due to the transformation skill.

Although the two attacks depleted nearly 110 shield points from the despicable mind shield, there was still a considerable points from the maximum of 140 shield points that Chen Mo could withstand at the moment.

In other words, there were still over 30 shield points that can be used.

With the experience from the first attack, this time although Chen Mo still couldn't completely avoid the opponent's attack he retaliated with the mind ball while being blasted away by the heavy blow.

"His damage hasn't increased much, it seems this should be a skill that increases his health points."

Chen Mo's guess was quickly confirmed by Ku Wu and Han Xue.

Taking advantage of the attack interval of this black-robed elite's meteor hammer, the trio launched attacks. Although it was speculated based on previous intelligence that these black-robed elites, after being reinforced by the Hive organization not only had decent defence reaching around 10 points, their health points should also exceed 350, with extremely strong recovery abilities but it seemed this mutated black-robed elite in front of them had noticeably stronger health points and defense than ordinary black-robed elites!

Even after being attacked twice by the three of them, he still didn't show much discomfort.

It's worth noting that after Chen Mo obtained the weapon, psychic ball his attack damage exceeded 50 points.

Soon after, when this black-robed elite retracted the meteor hammer, recharged, and launched the third attack on Chen Mo, his despicable mind shield shattered.

Prompt: Your health points -18.

Being attacked three times in a row by the meteor hammer was truly unpleasant, but fortunately after such a long time of preparation the despicable mind shield on Ku Wu's body had reached its maximum value. Chen Mo shouted "It's your turn!"

"Got it."

During the intervals of the battle, Chen Mo released the despicable mind shield on Ku Wu again and after 20 seconds of growth, the shield value once again reached the full value of 140 points.

After releasing the despicable mind shield twice and the mind bullet once, Chen Mo's energy value was left with only 1 point. He could only take out an energy stone replenishing 10 points of energy restoring his energy value to 10 points.

As a result, Ku Wu was responsible for blocking the fourth round of meteor hammer attacks by this black-robed elite. Every time this black-robed elite swung the meteor hammer above his head, it was also a moment of continuous accumulation of power. When the power was accumulated to a certain extent, he had to actively attack and could not continue to accumulate power endlessly.

The best way for Ku Wu to become the target of the opponent's attack was to take the initiative to attack!

Seeing Ku Wu suddenly charging towards him, the black-robed elite with green bean-sized eyes swung the meteor hammer even more vigorously. As Ku Wu entered the attack range he shouted and threw the meteor hammer with deadly force.

Bang!

Ku Wu's face almost instantly turned pale. The huge force coming towards him made him unable to control his backward flight. However fortunately the shield in front of him remained quite strong.

Chen Mo and Han Xue took this opportunity to counterattack the black-robed elite.

Facing the continuous tactical attacks of the three this black-robed elite could no longer remain indifferent as before, the injuries on its body were increasing at a visible speed.

At this moment as he retracted the meteor hammer energy began to surge in his body again.

"Be careful!"

Chen Mo sensed something was wrong and loudly warned. The black-robed elite hugged the meteor hammer in front of him, let out a roar and like a wild boar charging suddenly charged forward.

This was the most threatening skill of the black-robed elites, the savage charge.

Having just suffered a blow from the opponent's meteor hammer, Ku Wu exclaimed in shock as his body uncontrollably flew several meters away, heavily hitting the ground.

The despicable mind shield on his body flickered intermittently a few times, leaving only the last faint remnants of its power. His shield value had obviously dropped to single digits.

"How are you?" Chen Mo asked loudly while counterattacking the black-robed elite.

Ku Wu struggled to climb up from the ground and said with a sense of fear, "Fortunately, your shield’s defence value is sufficient enough to offset some of its stun effects."

Chen Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and sneered, "It seems that's all the strength he has, be careful the three of us are enough to deal with him, my skills are still on cooldown, so hold on a little longer!"

"Okay."

With renewed vigour, the three of them used the despicable mind shields to cover each other and after about a minute of intense fighting they finally killed the mutated black-robed elite.

The high-intensity battle made the three of them breathe heavily. After all, during the battle, not only did they have to frequently evade the black-robed elite's meteor hammer attacks but they also had to speedily strike at the first opportunity when the opponent swung the meteor hammer, using the gap when the opponent retracted the meteor hammer to launch attacks. The physical exertion can be imagined.

Prompt: You have gained 6 points.

Since Chen Mo was the one who ultimately killed the mutated black-robed elite, he gained 6 contribution points. However, compared to the energy stone he consumed for this, the 6 points seemed somewhat disproportionate.

"A skill scroll!"

Just then, a bright light gradually floated out from the body of the black-robed elite and the three of them exclaimed in surprise.

Whether it was the transformation skill or the savage charge skill, this black-robed elite's skills were quite good and very practical.

However, the situation in the room was still quite intense. The martial artist Zhang Qiang who had defeated the other black-robed elite was also injured and was taking a slight break to catch his breath, stop the bleedings and recover.

The one-eyed dragon was standing more than twenty meters away from the three of them.

While enduring the attacks from Lucia and Lei Wu he was also counterattacking Xuan Zong and the other teleporting esper. These two were also not in a good situation under the attack of the one-eyed dragon, especially the teleporting esper, whose situation looked quite grim as one of his arms had already been torn off by him. The battle continued to be intense.

Chen Mo, Ku Wu and Han Xue didn't dare to waste any more time. In just an instant they completed the distribution. Ku Wu took the white-quality meteor hammer, Chen Mo gave Han Xue 20 points and he obtained the unidentified skill scroll.

Since Chen Mo had contributed the most to the successful killing of the black-robed elite and even lost an energy stone using this likely D-grade skill scroll as compensation was only fair.

Based on the standard of a D-grade skill, excluding high-quality scrolls that are close to full attributes, the standard price should be around 50 to 80 points. It was reasonable for Chen Mo to receive most of the benefits from this battle.

Unfortunately the three of them did not find any grenades on him, perhaps they had been consumed during the attack by the bio-beasts last night.

‘For the next mission we can save on other things but we must bring enough potions!’ Chen Mo deeply felt the importance of potions and secretly vowed in his heart.

Ku Wu and Han Xue looked at the battle with the one-eyed dragon and couldn't help but exclaim, "How much health does this guy have? He's enduring the attacks from Lei Wu and Lucia and is still able to fight Xuan Zong like this!"

At this moment Xuan Zong was also battered under the one-eyed dragon's attacks.

However, Zhang Qiang had not deceived Chen Mo and the others. Xuan Zong's strength was indeed very strong but his strength lay not in defence but in control.

His finger techniques could continuously inflict various negative statuses on the one-eyed dragon. Under the accumulation of these statuses such as weakness, slowness and stiffness the one-eyed dragon's attacks noticeably weakened and he was no longer as strong as he was at the beginning.

As he spoke Chen Mo also used his psychic ball to launch a ranged attack on the one-eyed dragon. It's always good to participate in the distribution of rights. Even if he couldn't get the skill scrolls and equipment dropped by this leader, gaining one or two points in contribution was not a loss.

"Roar!"

Seeing that his two henchmen had been dealt with and that he was once again plagued by various negative statuses, the one-eyed dragon sensed the crisis and once again took out his silver pistol.

Xuan Zong and the others had already gained experience in dealing with this pistol and wouldn't be caught off guard and killed like the first time.

However this time the muzzle of the one-eyed dragon’s gun was not aimed at anyone present.

He actually fired into the air above his head?

Just as everyone was puzzled, they saw a fluctuation in space above the one-eyed dragon’s head, followed by the appearance of four mechanical humanoid figures in black-robed attire, two on the left and two on the right, landing beside him.

"Come to life!"

Chen Mo, Ku Wu, Han Xue and Zhang Qiang who had just finished the battle saw this and quickly approached to drew the attenstion of these black-robed figures.

However as soon as Chen Mo came into contact with these black-robed figures, he realized something was wrong.

Although the attack power of these black-robed figures was not high, their defence and health values were far from comparable to ordinary black-robed figures, they had at least reached the level of black-robed elites. This level of strength was still within Chen Mo's range of being able to fight independently, but for Ku Wu and Han Xue it was quite tricky.

After about a minute Ku Wu and Han Xue finally dealt with the mechanical black-robed figures in front of them. However, due to their status as summoned creatures they did not receive any points reward.

During this period the one-eyed dragon’s injuries became even more severe under the siege of Lucia, Lei Wu, Xuan Zong and the teleporting esper.
