Chapter 57: Chapter 57 “Vulture” Erik

Translator: 549690339

Seeing a young man wearing leather armor and a steel helmet running towards him like a madman, Song Jian was taken aback;

“Come and hit me!” The young man’s face was ferocious, as he ran and shouted loudly at Song Jian hiding behind the wall;

“Bait? You must be an idiot.” Song Jian sneered, pressing his left hand on the ground.

Earth Teeth Assault!

Whoosh-

A fang-shaped air mass flew across the ground towards the young man;

“Good job, Robin, that’s right, provoke him. As long as he shows his head, I’ll blow him away with one shot!” Erik, the “Vulture” behind him, had a triumphant look on his face and waved his right arm, shouting in his heart;

Bang-

As he was running, Robin suddenly soared into the air, like he’d been hit by an invisible armored vehicle;

Ah-

A scream accompanied the crisp sound of his legs breaking, and Robin’s body fell heavily onto a pile of rubble, blood gushing from his mouth like a flood that had burst;

“Damn, this kid’s got bad luck, a critical hit?” Song Jian glanced at the damage numbers floating above the young man’s head and sucked in a breath through gritted teeth;

Vulture Erik’s joyful smile froze, and he winced in sympathetic pain as he tracked Robin’s trajectory and saw him crash onto the pile of rubble;

“What happened?” Erik’s face was full of confusion. All he saw was Robin rushing forward before suddenly being lifted into the air, like a staged performance;

“Is this kid trying to trick me?” Erik stared at the writhing Robin in pain, and his first thought was this;

But moments later, seeing Robin bloodied, legs bent at unnatural angles, Erik finally believed that Robin wasn’t playing a role;

“Robin, what happened, what’s going on?” Vulture Erik shouted out loud.

Robin struggled to get up, but the unbearable pain in his legs stopped him from moving. He could only rely on his hands to slowly roll down from the pile of rubble, trying to answer the captain’s question, but with every attempt to speak, blood gushed out of his mouth, leaving him only able to produce barely audible groaning sounds;

“This Earth Teeth Assault skill is really powerful!” Looking at Robin’s head displaying “fracture,” “continuous blood loss,” “limited mobility,” and other negative effects, and watching Robin, who originally didn’t have much vitality, gradually approach death, Song Jian was very satisfied with the Earth Teeth Assault skill;

“Aside from only being able to attack ground targets, this skill is amazing.” Song Jian thought to himself;

The base damage of Earth Teeth Assault is 45-55 points, but when it triggers a critical hit, the damage doubles. Ordinary people have at most eighty or ninety Vitality Points, so for Robin to endure this long, he must be one of those with exceptional physical fitness;

System: You used the skill Earth Teeth Assault, causing 48 points of damage to [LV4-101 Gathering Area Militia], triggering a critical hit effect, doubling the damage, the target’s resistance is zero, causing an actual damage of 96 points; 3 points of Vitality loss per second;

System: You killed [LV5-101 Gathering Area Militia], gained 320 Experience Points, your reputation in the 101 Gathering Area decreased by 5 points, your relationship with the 101 Gathering Area is now hostile;

System: Dr. Ebsiting’s favorability towards you has increased by 10 points, your current relationship with him is friendly;

In the end, Robin couldn’t endure any longer, and after rolling off the pile of rubble, he took his last breath. Beside his corpse, a white-glowing item appeared, seemingly the steel helmet Robin was wearing just moments ago;

“Good luck, loot dropped!” Song Jian smiled slightly, but Robin’s corpse was five or six meters away from him, and leaving cover now to pick up items would make him a perfect target for the others;

“Hey, Metalman, all your teammates are dead, why don’t you just commit suicide too? For a family, it’s important to be neat!” Song Jian shouted out loud;

“Bastard, since you’ve offended us of the 101 Gathering Area, don’t even think about surviving. Even if you hide in this City of Death for a lifetime, our Punishers will find you and kill everyone related to you. Your family, your friends, they’ll all die!” Vulture Erik was about to lose his mind from anger. This mission had originally gone well, with even unexpected gains, but because of Song Jian, not only had all his teammates died, but the mission seemed likely to fail as well.

“No one wanted this to happen.” Song Jian was taken aback by the mention of the Punisher from the 101 Gathering Area. It sounded like a tough character specialized in assassination and revenge, causing his heart to beat fast;

“I have no grudge against you, and all this happened because of Dr. Ebsiting. The enemy has heads, and debts have owners; if you want revenge, make sure…” Song Jian shouted loudly.

System: Because of your inappropriate remarks, Dr. Ebsiting’s favorability towards you has decreased by 30 points, your current relationship with him is neutral;

Song Jian’s shout ceased abruptly, and he stared blankly at the system prompt floating before him.

“What the hell, 1 killed so many people, and only increased his favorability by 30 points, and now it’s all gone with one sentence?” Song Jian couldn’t believe it and turned around to look, only to see Dr. Ebsiting sticking his head out and glaring at him, eyes full of anger;

Seeing Song Jian looking back, Dr. Ebsiting snorted heavily and gestured with a humiliating hand sign at Song Jian!

“You old geezer, if it weren’t for the side mission, I’d shoot you dead!” Song Jian pouted, and was about to turn around and try to persuade Erik again, to focus their revenge on Dr. Ebsiting, when he suddenly noticed that Vulture Erik, shielding his head with his metal arm, was charging in his direction;

“What the hell, this is too unsportsmanlike.” Song Jian stood up, gun in one hand, and quickly pulled the trigger;

Bang bang bang-

Bullets penetrated Erik’s body, but only made him moan in pain and didn’t slow him down at all;

Cling cling-

Several bullets hit Erik’s metal arm but only emitted a burst of sparks, causing no harm to him;

Song Jian checked his own Vitality Points, having just over eighty left, clenched his teeth, and put his right hand back on the ground, aiming at the charging Erik;

Earth Teeth…

Before he could unleash the skill, Erik’s speed suddenly increased, leaving in his wake a blurry afterimage. His metal arm slightly bent, the elbow protruding outward, covering most of his face, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with hatred and anger;

Boom-

Erik’s body slammed heavily into the wall where Song Jian had been hiding, creating a two-meter wide hole. Although Song Jian tried his best to dodge, he was still hit heavily by the blast, sending him flying backwards;
