Chapter 905: Escaping while laying down traps

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

If Hakeem actually gave more thoughts to Sheyan's actions, he would have realised that the meaning contained therein was enough to make him shudder.

Sheyan originally couldn't see through Hakeem's illusion, but this time, when he reappeared, Hakeem's illusion could no longer confuse him. However, Sheyan chose to play the fool instead of taking the opportunity to escape or to make an unexpected attack. And what did he go through painstaking effort to do?

First he spat on Hakeem's face, then he pissed on Hakeem's head!

Sheyan had taken a lot of risk to do these two things. At least when he was urinating, he had to be careful of Hakeem cutting off his package with the dagger! But, he had achieved his purpose. By now, Hakeem was furious, and his brain was filled only with thoughts of humiliation and revenge. At least, before he suffered a major setback, he wouldn't spare a thought for other things.

Although Hakeem's Agility was still far above Sheyan's, it was no longer an absolute suppression, at least not like it was before. Before this, once Sheyan was within Hakeem's attack range, Hakeem could do anything he wanted to Sheyan, be it cutting his throat, stabbing him or kicking his groin. Sheyan couldn't even parry his attacks, let alone dodge them.

At this moment, Hakeem's dagger slashed horizontally. His black cloak fluttered in the air, revealing a set of silver-coloured tight-fitting leather armour. One could immediately tell that the armour set was definitely not a common product. Most of his dagger was hidden in his sleeve, only showing a little dark gold tip.

One would even feel like Hakeem's blood vessels had grown into this dark gold dagger, making the dagger a part of his body. If an ordinary person looked at it for a long time and traced the pattern on the blade upwards, they would feel a pain tearing their eyes, and the helpless feeling of having their throat slit!

Although Hakeem was striking upwards from the lower end of the stairs, his movements were still amazingly fast. Sheyan barely managed to block the front of his throat with '+7 West', but Hakeem's dagger suddenly changed direction midway to cut open a smooth wound on the right side of Sheyan's chest.

Sheyan's defence had improved, but he had also lost the protection afforded by the realm towards normal contestants and reserve duty Growth Hunters! Therefore, this injury actually caused considerable damage to Sheyan.

Sheyan's reaction to this made Hakeem so angry he almost grounded his teeth into pieces - Sheyan knit his brows and looked condescendingly at Hakeem. Not only did Sheyan not counterattack, he even pinched his nose, turned, and ran, as if Hakeem stank so much that Sheyan didn't feel like playing with him!

Hakeem continued to rush forward like a mad cow, the dark gold dagger produced one ray after another as it waved in the air. Even the steel railings beside them were cut through by the dagger. It truly was an unstoppable force.

Suddenly, Sheyan stopped running away, pulled out 'Ambition', aimed down towards Hakeem and pulled the trigger. Hakeem completely ignored the lead bullet flying towards him. He continued striding forward, but there was a trace of delay between his steps. It was like the pause in between songs in a continuous playlist. If one didn't pay careful attention, one would not notice it.

It was due to this slight hesitation that the sure-fire lead bullet swept over Hakeem's nose and missed its mark. Meanwhile, Hakeem's speed of advancement was not affected at all. He continued to charge towards Sheyan with a cold expression. His black cloak fluttered behind his back amidst the sea breeze. Together with his dark, deep eyes, the feeling the teenager gave off was terrible indeed.

Sheyan continued to escape up the stairs while Hakeem steadily push forward. Hakeem was angry, but he was also enjoying this kind of cat and mouse hunt. Sheyan suddenly stopped after turning a corner, then raised his long blade with a scream and slashed down quickly. The blade sped towards Hakeem's head.

But Hakeem's hesitation footwork made its appearance once again. He nonchalantly parried the blade away to the side. The blade smashed into a wall, leaving a deep crack in the wall and causing debris to fly.

Sheyan retrieved the blade and smashed down again. Hakeem turned around and hid his whole body in the black cloak. Sheyan's blade landed squarely on the cloak this time, but it collided with a huge impact and was blown away! Sheyan felt as if he chopped down on something hard. Meanwhile, Hakeem's dagger slithered into Sheyan's abdomen like a venomous snake!

Sheyan groaned painfully. Then, he immediately turned and ran. This was what Hakeem hated the most about Sheyan. This bastard had surprisingly high HP, immunity to poison, decent speed, and decent Perceptive Sense. If he focused on defending and running away, he would become really troublesome to deal with.

While Sheyan was running, he removed the handrail next to him by force and threw it down. The sound was so loud that he sounded like he was dismantling a house.

The smell of the pee on Hakeem's face, who was chasing a few steps below Sheyan on the stairs, made him feel angry and humiliated, but he had to stop to block Sheyan's shameless attacks. It was in this way that Sheyan resisted Hakeem's pursuit until he finally reached the top of the Statue of Liberty.

Sheyan looked around in panic and stepped backwards until his waist hit the railing, but Hakeem's sinister face had already appeared at the entrance. He approached step by step, and said while gnashing his teeth:

"Go on, keep running. Why did you stop?"

Sheyan didn't reply. His eyes were flustered as he clenched his blade tight. Hakeem's body suddenly sparkled with a layer of clear water. This was his explosive ability that could increase his Agility by 20% for ten seconds! Hakeem obviously had Agility as his primary attribute and Perceptive Sense as his secondary attribute. With the 20% increase, there was no doubt that his Agility would reach a terrifying level.

The next second, Hakeem swept his dagger across his own chest, letting his blood soak the edge of the dagger. Then, he charged towards Sheyan, leaving a long trail of afterimages behind him!

If the Growth Hunter stage was mainly a stage for collecting equipment suitable for oneself and to lay down a more solid foundation, then the Awakener stage indicated that the contestant's unique combat instinct and combat habits have begun to awaken. Using painting to describe it, an Awakener was like a piece of paper that already had the first stroke painted on it. It was already determined whether the paper would become a traditional Chinese painting, an oil painting, or a watercolor painting. From the moment a contestant became an Awakener, the direction of evolution would be engraved in the depths of their soul. It could no longer be changed.

When Hakeem pounced on him, Sheyan felt like he was being locked-on. He felt as if he would not escape from the strike no matter how he dodged or ran away; as if it was fate!

As soon as Hakeem got close to Sheyan, his dark gold dagger drew countless blinding golden lines in the air. Some of the lines were straight and some were curved. The next instant, blood splashed from Sheyan's body. Sheyan was completely unable to resist the attacks and took seven or eight hits. After that, Hakeem slammed his knee into Sheyan and knocked him about four meters high, then threw the golden dagger upwards. The dagger pierced into Sheyan. Hakeem then devoutly clasped his hands together and mumbled to himself!

Sheyan had just climbed back up in pain when he felt a violent shock from the dark gold dagger on his chest. He looked up and saw the bright afternoon sun dazzling his vision. But upon closer inspection, he realised that the sun was actually Hakeem's basketball that came flying like a comet with a high-speed rotation, while carrying a blazing flame. The dark gold dagger jammed in his chest was apparently guiding the flaming basketball towards him.

It was too late to dodge. All Sheyan could do was to protect his head....

From the distance, it looked as a fierce explosion occurred on top of the Statue of Liberty. The flames rushed high into the sky. Even the torch of the Statue of Liberty was blown in half and fell helplessly into the sea. The ripples that it stirred up reached a height of eight meters!

"Let's see if you can survive that," Hakeem said while he fiercely gasped for breath. His eyes showed the joy of one getting his revenge. He reached out towards the air, and his dark gold dagger slithered out of the void like a snake to return to his hand.

His pupils shrank all of a sudden. He immediately ran to the side of the Statue of Liberty, and saw a hateful figure in between the waves, tenaciously and desperately swimming. The figure climbed onto a motorboat and started the engine.

Right then, the damn figure turned around and smugly waved at him.

Sheyan even gave Hakeem a few shrugs from on top the motorboat. Hakeem's face turned expressionless. Only those familiar with him would know that this was a sign of his anger reaching its limit!

"I will kill you. You will never escape from me!" Hakeem forced out each word from between his gnashed teeth.

He took out another item. The item looked like a tangled string of ropes with a weird soft glow. Hakeem tied it to the Statue of Liberty, then strode to the side of the railing and threw it hard towards Sheyan. The thin rope shot out like an arrow and stuck itself to Sheyan's body!
