Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1897: Huge losses

Really unreliable!

Given Ji Ruiguangʼs status and position, he couldnʼt help but curse out loud.

If it were truly a no-hope situation and you ran away, that would be one thing. But now, they hadnʼt been defeated at all. It was just that two of their own people were killed, and the remaining one ran away without regard for anything else. This was just too practical, wasnʼt it?

Suddenly, the resulting situation became: White Robe one against two, the Luther people three against two, and the Novices had to face three mature and powerful Evil Armor Star warriors.

These lives, with sturdy defensive shells on their bodies, were already fiercely approaching the Novices.

Heʼs attraction to them was too strong, so much so that the three warriors sent down from above were all individuals with glorious battle records.

Not to mention opponents of the same level, even those a level higher, they could still fight. The Tianqi Star warriorsʼ lack of strength was undeniable, and their desertion was certain, but a gap in combat power also existed. Without being in the Tianqi Star peopleʼs position, it was hard to understand.

The remaining person running away actually had an element of being beaten so badly that they had no confidence.

However, no matter what, the situation they had to face was that, temporarily without Ye Zhongming, the Novices had to face the Evil Armor Star people, who had high morale and were powerful.

Helsky and Ji Ruiguang looked at each other and understood each otherʼs choice.

The battle began almost without any dialogue or probing, and immediately entered a white-hot stage.

Just now, it was the Novices desperately trying to kill the two Shuoxing people. Now, it was these Evil Armor Star people desperately trying to kill the Novices.

They knew clearly that to get He, they had to destroy these annoying guys in front.

The bitterness of the Novices was known only to themselves.

Earlier, to improve the situation and clarify the battle situation as much as possible in a short time, while fighting desperately, they also utilized the vast majority of their unique skills and consumed almost all their trump card equipment.

Now facing more numerous and stronger warriors, even though they still had the advantage in numbers, the situation directly deteriorated into unfavorable circumstances.

Fifth second of engagement: one Novice severely injured, only saved from death by companions desperately protecting him.

Twelfth second: one Novice killed in battle.

Twentieth second: Jie Kuiʼs sneak attack failed, and he was severely injured.

Thirty-first second: Helsky was lightly injured.

Thirty-fifth second: second Novice death.

Forty-seventh second: Two novices were consecutively severely injured and withdrew from the battle.

One minute and three seconds: third Novice death!

In just over a minute, three Novices died, four Novices were severely injured, and four or five were lightly injured! The price paid by the Evil Armor Star people was only one mature warrior lightly injured, one Novice death, and the rest of the Novices lightly injured!

The strength of both sides changed drastically again within a minute. This made it foreseeable that the Novices would soon be defeated.

”Hold on. Our only hope is to wait for Ye Zhongming to recover his combat power.”

Ji Ruiguang wasnʼt panicked. He calmly said this and replaced Helsky to face the most powerful Evil Armor Star warrior head-on.

The others also understood that White Robeʼs side, not to mention breaking free, would be good if they didnʼt suffer immediate defeat; there was certainly no chance of them coming to help here. As for the Luther peopleʼs side... heh, if they didnʼt directly run away, it was already due to Helskyʼs eloquence, which gave them a sense of hope and made them want to see how the future would develop. But expecting them to fight desperately was impossible.

The Novices could only solve this problem themselves.

Deaths were inevitable. Everyone was just gambling that out of these fewer than twenty people, not all would die before Ye Zhongming recovered.

But... why did they still feel despair?

In dire situations, lifeʼs potential is most likely to emerge. These Novices—perhaps they should be called very outstanding Novices—erupted.

The first to erupt was Helsky.

In the previous battle, he had already somewhat entered an explosive state, basically exerting 120% of his strength. Without him, the battle wouldnʼt have gone so smoothly. That almost decisive hit on the opponentʼs scapula was launched by Helsky, after which the two warriors completely collapsed.

His sudden explosion actually allowed the entire Novice group to go a full thirty seconds without any casualties.

The second to explode was Ji Ruiguang. This big shot was truly impressive. His explosion wasnʼt as obvious as Helskyʼs, but he was like a smoothing agent, continuously maintaining each companionʼs combat style, making up for their flaws, allowing them to exert their own strength as much as possible.

Lubricant! This was the most accurate evaluation Helsky could give after briefly cooperating with Ji Ruiguang.

Fighting alongside this old guy was really comfortable.

After that, more and more among these Novices exploded. Even if it was just for a few seconds, or just by using one skill effectively, it greatly helped the battle situation.

Three minutes into the battle, aside from several more people receiving light injuries, no one was severely injured or killed. On the contrary, on the Evil Armor Star side, another Novice was killed in battle, and one mature warrior was injured.

However, when it comes to such a phenomenon, if victory cannot be achieved during the period of explosion, or at least a decisive advantage gained, then after the explosion, things will still return to their previous trajectory.

This was the case for the Novices. Their potential was stimulated, and their strength increased, but they still had no way to kill even one mature Evil Armor Star warrior; the opponentsʼ defense was too outstanding.

Starting from three minutes and fifteen seconds into the battle, the Novices began to suffer casualties again. Helsky, who had been performing the best, was targeted and, finally, finding an opportunity when he was temporarily exhausted, was severely injured.

Then, ten seconds later, the fourth Novice was killed. Another five seconds later, the fifth Novice died. By the fourth minute, six Novices had already died, and seven were severely injured. Only five or six people could still hold on. If not for He and Qiuqiu both coming to help, the casualties would have increased further, and it might have already gotten completely out of control.

But the situation still became worse. Ji Ruiguang led the effort to hold on, his injuries worsening steadily. Under these circumstances, holding on for another half minute would be an extraordinary effort.

Even someone with as strong a will as Ji Ruiguang began to feel despair.

He very much wanted to turn around and see how Ye Zhongming was doing, but he didnʼt have the opportunity. In his heart, he also knew what would it matter even if he looked? He originally thought they could buy at least ten minutes for him, which might allow for recovery. But now? At most five minutes!

Who, after being injured, could fully recover in five minutes? Even if they were a nine-star evolver.

Just as this boss of the Resistance Zone felt life was becoming increasingly dark, a person suddenly appeared from behind him, pushing Ji Ruiguang out of the main combat position.

At the same time, he heard a sentence that made him fall directly to the ground.

”Next, let me handle it.”
