Chapter 1888: Final Exchange
…
Finding the whereabouts of his opponent, Akailu did not even hesitate and sent the Savage Tiger in that direction, letting it enter the ruined building to look for Sheryl.
It did not take that long for the Savage Tiger to find Sheryl, who was already on her mechanical cannon. She seemed to be looking for the traces of her main target through the scope of the cannon alongside her tactical goggles.
The Savage Tiger silently and sneakily went behind Sheryl, not carelessly attacking the latter since there could be traps around that were meant to catch it or even Akailu.
But after making sure that there was nothing prepared for it, the Savage Tiger swiftly pounced forward, attacking Sheryl, who was still unaware of its presence.
Roar!
Swoosh!
Right after pouncing forward, the Savage Tiger swiped its claws, attacking Sheryl from behind. It then proceeded to open its mouth before biting on her neck, not willing to let go.
Bang!
Unfortunately, all these had hit nothing but air as the ’Sheryl’ and the mechanical cannon were realistic projections created by her mechanical tools.
Boom!
Not long after, the mechanical tools exploded after Sheryl detonated them, causing chain reactions immediately after.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Roar!
The Savage Tiger was immediately trapped in the collapsing building, seemingly trying to bury itself alive.
Boom!
In the meantime, the real Sheryl and her mechanical cannon hidden on another building finally fired a shot.
The sound created by the shot was so deafening that it reverberated in the air map, causing a series of overlapping reverberations that spread in every direction.
Boom!
At the same time, a beam of light shot by that mechanical cannon flew straight to where Akailu was hiding.
The expression on Akailu could not help but grimace a little as the series of events happened a bit too fast for him to properly respond.
However, he was still able to react in time, trying to escape the range of that beam of light as fast as he could.
Swoosh!
He recalled the Spirit Eagle that was standing on the rooftop of the nearby building before fusing with it.
Swoosh!
He then swiftly spread his wings, flying in the sky as the beam of light hit the building where he was hiding, blasting it and making it crumble.
Boom!
Swoosh!
Akailu tried his best to maneuver himself in the air, dodging the falling rubble from the collapsing building while also keeping an eye on the next move of his opponent.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just like he had expected, Sheryl started firing a series of shots, targeting him while he was trying his best to stabilize himself in the air.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Boom!
The beams of light flew straight to him as he tried his best to dodge, making those shots land everywhere and producing loud explosions after hitting the ground and the surrounding buildings.
Whoosh!
After dodging all the attacks, Akailu swiftly flew across the sky before diving straight down to the place where Sheryl was hiding.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Adjusting her aim, Sheryl continued firing at Akailu as he flew straight in her direction, but the latter was able to execute a series of aerial maneuvers and dodge everything with sick movements.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
However, these attacks were just to delay the latter, buying herself enough time to fully adjust herself and swiftly prepare her other mechanical torrents.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Not long after, multiple mechanical torrents appeared in different parts of the building and the surrounding ones before firing a barrage of attacks at Akailu.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Applying her signature gunfighting techniques, Sheryl and the mechanical torrents become harder to deal with, even with the heightened senses that Akailu currently had.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
He drew multiple arcs in the air, dodging the shots, while looking for the right opportunity to strike back.
Roar!
Awoo~!
At the same time, he had ordered this other summoned beast to launch a coordinated attack from the ground.
The Grizzly Bear focused on attacking the buildings themselves, trying to forcefully collapse them. This could cause the mechanical torrents to lose their footing, making it easier to destroy them.
The Shadow Wolf then let its group of smaller shadow wolves climb the buildings or jump from a falling rubble one after another as some sort of platforms, before attacking the mechanical torrents to destroy them completely.
Boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Amid the chaos, Sheryl was having a much harder time keeping track of everything despite all the special features of her tactical goggles.
She had even missed a few shadow wolves that were able to sneak inside her battle formation, almost reaching the building where she was located.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
This then triggered the traps that she had prepared, preventing these shadow wolves from reaching her location.
While all these were happening, she kept her eyes on Akailu, who posed the greatest threat to her, especially when she was not good at close-combat-quarters. Once the latter got near her, that would spell her defeat much sooner.
Boom!
At the same time, on the collapsed building, where her projection was located, the mountain of rubble exploded and revealed the figure of the Savage Tiger that somehow survived the earlier attack.
Roar!
It released an enraged and deafening roar that reverberated in the entire map, even overwhelming the chaotic explosions that erupted everywhere.
It then received an order from Akailu, making it turn in the direction of the building where Sheryl was hiding.
Roar!
Locking its gaze on the building, the Savage Tiger swiftly made its move and rushed toward the building, skillfully dodging all the shots from the mechanical torrents that were preventing its advance.
Bang!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Seeing that it was becoming more dangerous for her to stay in this place, Sheryl knew that she had to do something more to deal with the current situation.
She had to end this much faster if she did not want something similar to the previous round against Chaotic Luck, where unexpected situations occurred one after another as the battle progressed.
She continued to fire a few more shots at Akailu before turning her focus on the three monstrous beasts on the ground.
As for Akailu, the multiple drones that she had released earlier turned to him and started firing at him with powerful shots.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
What was even trickier about them was the battle formation that they maintained while flying and attacking at the same time.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Akailu could not help but frown deeply after realizing that the drones were slowly and steadily forcing him into a corner where they could trap him in their formation.
Frowning deeply, he swiftly adjusted his movements, trying to break free from their encirclement while also giving out a series of commands to his monster pets.
The three monstrous beasts swiftly adjusted their formation, attacking in three different manners to confuse Sheryl and prevent her from reading their offensive patterns.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Despite using the mechanical cannon, Sheryl was still able to use her signature gunfighting techniques, showcasing her experience and great combat prowess.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the meantime, the mechanical torrents that were still around coordinated with her, firing at the three monstrous beasts and forming coordinated and unified skills that suppressed the opposing side.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The situation on the battlefield continued to escalate as the battle progressed.
Akailu did not use any of his other fusion forms since he could sense that Sheryl seemed to be waiting for him to initiate it and preparing for a trap to deal with him.
But he could also tell that his situation would only escalate to a more dangerous situation if he let this continue. Moreover, there should also be another trap hidden in these special drones that were chasing after him that could also lead to a similar situation.
It seemed like Sheryl was forcing him to choose between the two traps.
Picking his poison was not easy, but he had to choose the one with which he was more confident to deal with.
He was more confident in his combat skills, particularly in melee range, so he would choose the former option while preparing himself to deal with the consequences later.
Boom!
Swoosh!
He then adjusted his position in the air before flapping his wings as hard as he could, sending himself straight to the ground.
Of course, he also tried to direct the trajectory of his descent toward the location of Sheryl, hoping to reach her before she could even trigger the traps that she had prepared.
Woosh!
He almost disappeared from everyone’s sight as he did those actions, flying straight to the building where his opponent was located.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Seeing his actions, Sheryl controlled all the mechanical torrents to adjust their aim. They aimed at Akailu before launching a series of attacks packed with full power.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the same time, the flying drones chased after Akailu, locking their main at his back before launching a coordinated attack alongside those mechanical torrents on the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Not only that, but Sheryl had also shifted her aim, ignoring the three monstrous beasts completely. She pointed her mechanical cannon at him and channeled all the energy that the cannon possessed in this particular shot.
She seemed to be planning to end this decision this round with this move.
After charging everything, she then pulled the trigger, releasing all the accumulated powers that the mechanical cannon had gathered.
Boom!
It resonated and fussed with all the attacks that the mechanical torrents had released, turning into a huge beam of light that swallowed even the space itself.
Given the speed of this attack, Akailu would not be able to dodge, forcing him to face it head-on.
At the same time, Akailu swiftly initiated a multiple fusion with his pet monsters right after reaching the effective range of the skill.
He did a quadruple fusion, overloading his body with a lot of power that he was still unable to fully control. But he had to take the gamble if he wanted to survive this kind of attack.
He then urged all the powers that he had gathered before taking the initiative to dive straight into the incoming beam of light.
If he could not avoid it, then he would face it head-on!
Clenching his fist tightly, he pulled his arm backward, channeling all the power into it before swiftly and strongly thrusting that glowing fist forward.
Boom!
He threw a powerful punch while also flapping the pair of wings on his back, descending like a destructive and unstoppable meteor.
