Cursed Immortality

Chapter 498  The Beast of South: Deathstalker (2)

The sun-like glowing scorpion raised the space temperature to over 4000 degrees Celsius, and the scorching light from his body was not ordinary either. It was filled with radiation! The trapped party members of Andrew felt like they were being burned alive in a poisonous furnace, and they were literally inhaling fire. At this moment, those without fire affinity started to drop on the scorching floor as their skill made sizzling sounds. But two sonic booms rang right then before powerful explosions sounded above the glowing scorpion. Jacob frowned a little, ʼHeʼs emitting so much heat that the bullets canʼt even touch its shell and blast off in the air. Since thatʼs the case, letʼs see if he could melt advance rank friction killer bullets made with diamond iron.ʼ The next moment, another magazine filled with blue bullets, which seemed to be made with diamonds, appeared in his hand, and he switched it with the atomic bullet magazine, and without hesitation, he took a shot. ʼBang…bang...ʼ The high-velocity bullets directly pierce through the heat and hit the scorpion under it. ʼRoar…ʼ A furious roar rang at this moment. ʼIt mustʼve stung, huh…ʼ Jacobʼs lips rose slightly.

Since the beast was roaring in agony, it could only mean the bullets were effective. Without hesitation, Jacob started to fire rapidly and emptied the 20 bullets magazine, which cost him 1 million ZC in a nutshell. Andrew and Fire Tyrant, as well as the other living members of the team, were shocked when they heard so many powerful sonic booms, and they finally spotted an open space above the wall and the twin muzzle of the rifle. Furthermore, the scorpion stopped glowing at this moment and reappeared, but this time, there were cracks on its golden shell. ”Who is this?” Andrew exclaimed, but everyone was as clueless as him. Still, they knew whoever it was; it was on their side since he saved him by shooting the beast, and a ray of hope finally ignited in their heart. The scorpion at this moment roared furiously as it finally averted its attention from the dying ants and turned its giant body in search of the assaulter. But before it could, two bullets suddenly shot again, and this time they landed in its ruby eyes, and before the pain could overcome, another pair of bullets landed on its remaining eye, blasting it to watery bits. A painful howl was released as the beast lost its eyes, and crimson blood gushed out from the wound and started vaporizing as it streamed on the seething floor. At this moment, Jacob switched his magazine again with the atomic bullets because the scorpion was no longer emitting heat and had lost its eyes. Hence, it was the perfect chance to put it out of its misery before it started to go berserk like the Fiend Yeti. Furthermore, the crimson glowing muzzle of Twin Titan had few cracks on it, and he knew it wouldnʼt last for much longer, nor did he want to use an atomic grenade here if it was not necessary. However, before he could take the shot, he saw Andrew, Fire Tyrant, and Fifth Elder closing in fast with their brandish weapons. They were taking advantage of this situation to get the kill because they had no idea who this person was, and giving away a shackle to an unknown person was too risky. So, despite their conditions, they moved to finish it off even if they had to offend their savior. Jacobʼs eyes went cold, but he didnʼt want to miss this chance, so he took the shot at the scorpion skull. His bullets were far faster than those three wounded idiots, and the scorpion was in a state of shock and pain. This time, the glowing bullets directly hit the open eye wound, and two harrowing blasts rang, creating shock waves that even made the incoming three attacks block them. Without stopping, Jacob shot another dual shot, and the beastʼs skull was finally blasted open as it filled with a low-intensity dying shriek. Right at this moment, SAAIʼs impassive voice sounded in every corner of the Hunterʼs Necropolis, like the time, with the only difference being Jacob was conscious to hear it. ”Congratulations, Faceless Ancient, for clearing a Trial Condition!” SAAI made the same announcement four more times, and Jacobʼs heart was as cold as ice as it finally dawned on him, and he got the meaning behind the message he received. ʼYour glorious deeds have been spread far and wide!ʼ ʼIt wasnʼt like this in the dark ruins! If this same announcement was made last time, then didnʼt this mean everyone knew I was the one who cleared the first condition, and if someone gets out with that information...!ʼ Jacob felt rage bubbling up since this one thing would change everything. But he had other things to worry about. The rifle suddenly vanished, and another single-muzzle rifle appeared with the diamond iron bullets magazine. The conscious members down below were in utter shock when they heard the announcement and the name they were all supposed to look out for. Yet that same guy claimed another shackle right under their nose. At this moment, death gripped Andrewʼs heart as his fine hair stood in alarm, and before he could snap out of his shock, his head blew off like a watermelon. ”Run, heʼs going to kill us all…bang!” The fifth elder bellowed before his head exploded. ”NO!” Fire Tyrantʼs expression paled as he quickly used a barrier to cover his body and tried to take cover behind the dead body of the scorpion. Alas, he didnʼt even move two meters before another sonic boom rang, and the magic barrier around him blasted apart with his head!

With the only three moveable combatants gone, Jacob didnʼt bother with anyone else because everyone else was immobilized while some were on the verge of dying. It was all because of the radiation emitted by the scorpion. Jacob finally jumped down from the hidden passage as he walked towards his trophies. One unique beast and others were some of the most prominent figures of the epic plains, especially the dead vice chairman of the Zodiac Warrior Alliance!
