Chapter 390: An extended difficulty, an extended mission
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
It was only until later that the defenders realized that the group of uninvited guest had exceptional prowess; having a huge pool of Growth-Hunters, at least some were reserve-duty Growth-hunter that had awakened their boundary! Yet were the valkyrie defenders weaklings? There were at least a small portion of them that were reserve-duty Growth-hunters, what more their superiority in numbers! However, once a full scale war breaks out, even if the aggressors were annihilated, the amount of casualties on both sides would be incomprehensible.
As for the 13 contestants, they were actually dispatched here by Hellâs Gate. They managed to acquire a hidden mission; entailing a special mission description of a crashed valkyrie at coordinates xxxx xxxx. The core engine of the valkyrie was immensely valuable, and they were tasked to take a look; retrieving it if the engine wasnât destroyed. Of course, this mission duration was only 6 hours, and not to be exceeded. All in all, both parties reaching a perfect resolution and compromise wasnât possible.
When the two forces sunk into a deadlock, the infiltrating group of Growth-Hunters probably felt that victory would be tough, and brute force wasnât wise. Hence, they proclaimed for a duel under fair conditions, if the 13 of them could be defeated, they would immediately turn and leave. It could be 1 versus 1, or any versus any; ultimately, the maximum was 13 versus 13. As long as one sank into near death state, then the duel would conclude and no casualties would surface.
As for the duel, it followed the preceding contracted regulations:
âKing of Fightersâ format (A challenger will continue fighting until he is defeated)
When the duel begins, a starting gap of 50 metres would be enforced by the realm.
Duel period of 10 minutes.
If nobody sinks into near death state, then the victor would be decided by HP (Percentage) left.
After a match, there will be 30 seconds of rest.
Conceding is permitted.
Upon conceding, temporary battle immunity will be granted (To prevent deceitful conceding)
Medicines are prohibited during a duel.
Of course, to prevent vicious underhanded behavior of dealing a finishing blow to a near death state contestant, these regulations were all officiated by a realm contract.
Of course, if when the defenders disagreed, the 13 individuals simply announced to place every individual on their black list, even if they couldnât reap any benefits from this world. Simply speaking, they were referring to unscrupulous and malicious acts done in the darkness â infiltrating the valkyrie secretly to commit serial homicides on individuals. Once this cunning words made light, it naturally latched onto the defenderâs achilles heels. Besides, the defending contestants were ultimately like disjointed loose sand, that moles could easily take advantage of!
Hence due to such circumstances, both parties naturally begun duelingâŠâŠ.

After discerning clearly the sequence of events, Sheyan exhaled deeply.
âThis battle side missionâs difficultyâŠ...is indeed above my expectations! We managed to interrupt the beast hordeâs skirmish and lowered the missionâs risk, yet such a sudden intensive hidden mission emerged almost immediately!! Only by defeating these 13 Growth-Hunters/ reserve-duty Growth-hunters, can we obtain final victory!â
Observing the incomparably unresigned Demondream, Huckle of the Illume-union exclaimed with shock beside Sheyan.
âEven Demondream was defeated!â
Mogensha chewed on his chewing gum, heartlessly rapping out.
âThatâs normal, that woman isnât worth much.â
Huckleâs expression turned ugly, but giving face to Sheyan, he didnât fall out with Mogensha. Instead, he replied with sarcastic mockery.
âThen try dueling for yourself. By the way let me inform you, seven others have already fallen to that Growth-hunter Zeiss.Carlâs katana!â
Mogensha didnât seem to care as he replied.
âThen how many have they lost.â
Huckleâs facial muscles twitched and answered.
âThat person was the first challenger, he hasnât lost yet.â
Sheyanâs expression immediately turned solemn. Contestants that could survive in a beast horde, would they be ordinary individuals? Instead, this katana wielder had already claimed victory in 7 matches. He then recalled Lille and the rest he faced earlier on, it was easy to imagine the might of this fella. âIs it really when compared to ordinary contestants, a Growth-hunter would really hold such overwhelming supremacy?â
Becoming absent minded as he pondered, his ears suddenly rang with the familiar and homely âDA DA DAâ AK gunfires! Sheyan was instantly startled, a disbelieving notion surged into his mind.
âThis guyâŠâŠ.â
He raised his head; in a blink of an eye, that black dude was actually inside the court! He actually initiated a duel against that Growth-hunter! Sheyanâs heart flushed with surprise. That Growth-hunter utilizes a katana. Just one look could tell his speed was like rushing water, wouldnât Mogensha be restrained till death? About to yell out, a hand pressed against his shoulder. Instead, Reef nodded, earnestly urging.
âBoss, golden AKâs reputation didnât come about by mere bragging.â
Sheyanâs heart shuddered. Ever since Mogensha had taken the initiative to follow him, he had really been extremely low key. Yet he couldnât neglect the fact that every single task he had been given, was fully accomplished with satisfaction.
More crucially, due to the fact that their current party dynamics were lacking, their firepower output was completely reliant on Mogensha himself. Moreover, before their fates intertwined, he was still the head of the long range combatants in the Symbiosis sect; a powerful aide of the Metals Professor? Would a slipshot individual be recruited by her to become a partyâs backbone? Then she very possibly had recruited him out when she left her own party!
At present, the distant duel had officially begun. Mogensha puffed on his cigar as he stood in challenge. When the duel begun, both parties were enforced to a 50 metre distance by the dueling regulation. The grim expression katana contestant very bluntly introduced his katana and dashed forward. Mogensha spat out a puff of smoke; his AK muzzle pointing forward as it begun volleying out fiery tongues.
In a flash, that Growth-hunter momentous charge turned unhurried, as cold streaks of rays appeared from his body; the glows emitted by his fluttering katana!
Mogenshaâs bullets halted in midair, as though relinquishing its mobility momentarily; freezing rigidly like stop motion just like in âThe Matrixâ, before being sliced apart into two! Then the bullet fragments scattered onto the ground. Meanwhile, the contestant had already buried his head, continuing his speedy charge. He was like a knight, forcefully thrusting aside the way ahead!
Mogensha puffed on his cigar, allowing the sweet cyan fumes to enter his lungs before he returned to aim and fired.
That Growth-hunter had already reached within 30 metres. The same scene played out; his speed slightly diminished, cold streaks surfaced on his body. Yet this time, when his katana blade arrived at the bullets, a sequence of insanely violent chain explosion erupted!
Healing medicines and bandages had their cooldown usage periods, they werenât infinite. However, there was only 30 seconds of rest between each duel. Thus, after 7 bitter duels, this Growth-hunter had his health plunged to a relatively low degree. Instead, though facing such ferocious explosions, Growth-hunter Zeiss.Carl swept forward with his katana, advancing forward with incomparable incisiveness!!
At this moment, a cold gimmer flickered in Mogenshaâs eyes. His finger once again pressing on the trigger. A blue flash radiated from his Golden AKâŠâŠ.
Beastly Instincts
Activated!
DA DA DA DA DA! This time, a burst shot of 5 unleashed from the gun barrel! The 5 rounds appeared ordinary; however during the flight process, the fifth bullet erupted with speed as it clashed against the rear of the fourth bullet; the fourth knocked against the buttocks of the thirdâŠâŠ.until the first bullet got struck, that velocity amplification compounded, transforming it into a white laser that bolted forward; directly piercing into the throat of the reserve-duty Growth-hunter without sparing a chance!!
Explosive strike!
Near death state!!
Collapsed!
The faces of those Growth-Hunter guests were all exceedingly ugly! In their hearts, a gunmen attempting to challenge their comrade was simply wishful thinking. Yet their expectations were now like a river pouring away by the day; more crucially, the opponent wasnât even a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter!!
According to theory, sudden bullet-speed amplifications was a basic ability that all gunmen should grasp. However, Mogenshaâs bullet-speed amplifications were honestly too devilish! Thatâs right, it could only be described as devilish. During the former barrage, the Growth-hunter already had a rough adaptability to Mogenshaâs shooting speed and count. When the second assault arrived, it was shockingly a speed amplification, then amplified, then amplified again! A total of 4 rounds of bullet-speed amplification! Everyoneâs reaction time had its limits, and this was something that Mogensha seized to create an opening!
Of course, one had to note this katana wielder Growth-hunter had already defeated 7 others consecutively. Most of his abilities would probably be on cooldown, and essentially all his healing medicines or supplies would be on cooldown. Therefore, Mogensha seized this opportunity, to bring about an explosive take down.
At this moment, Mogensha slapped and raised his Golden AK in a carefree manner, laughing confidently as he lifted his rifle to the sky before releasing a puff of smoke fumes.
Sheyan chuckled lightly, raising a thumbs up!
As for the opposing Growth-Hunters, they didnât appear particularly affected by their comradeâs defeat. One of them stepped forward to drag the reluctantly looking Zeiss.Carl back. Then, another robustly built Growth-hunter with a ponytail strolled forward, his face expression emotionless. Instead, his hand tugged onto a Carbine M4a1 equipped with a silencer; raising it towards the black dude, who was still puffing on his cigar from a distance.
âWoah woah, AK versus carbine, are they playing counter-strike?â Huckle whistled and smirked.
Every duel conclusion would have 30 seconds of rest. Seizing this chance, Mogensha definitely wouldnât allow himself to be disadvantaged. Although he hadnât sustained any wounds, he immediately extinguished his cigar; popping a blue chewing gum into his mouth. It was a regeneration food, refuelling his MP.
TN: Do note once again. Author sometimes calls the reserve-duty growth-hunter as growth-hunter. Probably not willing to reveal their strength yet or something. So as of now, just treat the growth-hunters as reserve-duty ones, until author explicitly states that person is an official growth-hunter
