Chapter 28: Bloody Battle Against the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Song Yu stared at the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, a humongous A-class Fearsome Beast, with nervousness and anxiety written all over her face.

In the face of such a monstrous creature, she had no confidence of winning at all.

Earlier, even with the full squadron’s support fighting valiantly alongside her, she and her team were no match for the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth. Now that she was all alone with injuries to boot, how could she possibly defeat it?

However, she was the only one left in the squadron now, and there was no way for her to retreat.

Behind her was an unarmed, defenseless old man. There was no way out for them.

Song Yu gritted her teeth and prepared to give everything she had.

However, at this moment, Lu Yu pulled her away.

Song Yu felt the tremendous strength in Lu Yu’s hand and was caught off guard. This old man was not an ordinary civilian after all but a martial arts practitioner?

Under Song Yu’s astonished gaze, Lu Yu walked forward with the Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand and stood face to face with the A-class Fearsome Beast, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

Lu Yu also felt quite a bit of pressure facing the A-class Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth. He didn’t dare lower his guard and unleashed his full aura.

The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth let out a loud, long roar, as if it felt that it had been looked down upon. Then it immediately charged across the ground and as it reared up, it extended one massive foot, preparing to stomp on Lu Yu.

It was impossible to stop such a humongous body and the terrifying charging force.

“Be careful!” Song Yu cried out in fear.

......

However, Lu Yu didn’t retreat.

The Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill activated, 14 times increase!

The Furnace skill activated, igniting health vitality, strength was doubled!

He then mobilized all his strength and triggered the Critical Hit Enhancement, increase by 50% !

Layer upon layer of augmentations led to a 42 times increase!

Lu Yu raised his arm and intercepted the attack by the charging Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth head on.

The two collided violently and the ground trembled slightly.

Lu Yu’s arm sank slightly, then he stabilized himself and was no longer sinking down under the beast’s weight. He was able to repel this terrifying attack from the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth head on with brute force!

Right behind him, Song Yu stared in shock.

“He’s a Great Martial Master!” Song Yu exclaimed.

At first, Song Yu had thought that Lu Yu was an ordinary civilian simply because he had a head full of white hair and wrinkles.

She never once thought that Lu Yu could be so powerful that he could intercept the violent attack of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth with his bare hands!

The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth was an A-class Fearsome Beast. Its forte was brute strength. For someone to be able to repel the fierce attack of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth meant that he must have the strength of a Great Martial Master at the very least!

Lu Yu pushed up abruptly. Exerting his full strength, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth was forced back several meters by Lu Yu.

In the brief respite, Lu Yu turned around and glared at Song Yu. “Go hide by the side. Protect yourself properly and don’t get in my way!”

Song Yu’s capability was far from enough. Coupled with the fact that she was now injured, her combat ability was severely curtailed. If she remained here, not only would she be of no help to Lu Yu, she might end up causing more trouble.

Upon hearing these words, Song Yu immediately realized what was going on, and hastily ran to one side to hide, trying her best not to get in the way of Lu Yu’s battle.

At this time, Lu Yu was looking at the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth with a deadly serious demeanor.

This Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, an A-class Fearsome Beast, was unbelievably strong.

In the earlier head-on clash of strength, Lu Yu had also clearly understood the strength of this Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth. Its overall strength was just slightly weaker than Lu Yu’s full strength.

However, Lu Yu’s advantage over the beast in strength was just that little bit. He wouldn’t be able to do much damage to it based on this slim edge. Moreover, the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth’s size was so much bigger, so its physical strength was definitely a lot greater than Lu Yu’s.

Lu Yu knew that it would not be advantageous to himself if the battle dragged on for too long.

Currently, there were only two choices. One was to go all out, making good use of the Red Lotus Battle Energy, and kill the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth as quickly as possible. There must not be any delay.

The other option was to parry with the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth and stall for as much time as possible, while waiting for the other warriors in the inner city to come and provide support.

However, in the second option, if the reinforcements from the inner city did not arrive in time, Lu Yu would be in danger. By that time, he wouldn’t have the strength left to fight the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth anymore.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yu still felt that it was safer to rely on himself. He chose to fight with his full strength and slay the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

Apart from having the assurance of his own reliability, if Lu Yu slew the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth all alone, then the spoils of war belonged to him alone.

The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth was so powerful, and it was an A-class Fearsome Beast at that. If Lu Yu could eat it, he would definitely be able to elevate his ability by leaps and bounds.

After making up his mind, Lu Yu immediately took action.

In terms of strength, Lu Yu had a small advantage, but it wasn’t enough for him to win outright.

However, Lu Yu still had the powerful Blood Emperor Battle Saber and Red Lotus Battle Energy. If he could make good use of both of them, he felt that his chances of winning would be very high.

Lu Yu raised the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and activated all of his augmentation skills at once. The augmentation factors overlapped and stacked up, unleashing his aura at full force. A terrifying strength was infused into the Blood Emperor Battle Saber.

The characteristic of the Blood Emperor Battle Saber was that, the greater the power, the stronger the saber.

Under such a powerful force, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber glinted with flashes of light. It emitted a continuous drone of low saber hums, as if it was yearning for battle and fresh blood.

Lu Yu activated Shadowstep and charged towards the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth came charging at Lu Yu again in a stampede.

However, this time, Lu Yu didn’t go for a head-on clash with it. The first time he did it was only to protect Song Yu and get some idea of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth’s actual strength.

As the Shadowstep launched into action, Lu Yu’s speed immediately increased.

His body flashed momentarily and he nimbly dodged the stampede of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth and reached its side. Unleashing his full strength, he swung the Blood Emperor Battle Saber at the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

With his full strength, combined with the sharpness of the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, in one single slash, the saber tore open the thick armor covering the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth’s body, leaving a long gash.

The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth let out a roar in pain. Immediately afterwards, red fiery flames burst forth and covered its whole body before sweeping out in a sea of fire towards Lu Yu.

Although the plate armor on Lu Yu’s body had incredibly powerful physical defense, it wasn’t very effective against flames.

All of a sudden, Lu Yu’s entire body heated up. He hurriedly activated Shadowstep and retreated into the distance.

Even Lu Yu was shocked by the scorching heat of the plate armor on his body. If he had retreated too late, he might have been roasted already.

Lu Yu did not expect the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth to possess such a powerful fire-attribute energy, besides having tremendous physical strength.

However, at the same time, Lu Yu’s eyes were now filled with desire. If he could successfully slay this Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth and eat its meat, then Lu Yu’s Red Lotus Battle Energy might receive a big boost!

At this thought, Lu Yu hurriedly activated his Red Lotus Battle Energy. A huge beam of fire about the size of a person appeared and went shooting towards the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth was not to be outdone either. Red fiery flames converged and went flying in the opposite direction.

On one side were red fiery flames, and on the other side were blood-red fiery flames. They clashed together explosively.

On impact, Lu Yu’s Red Lotus Battle Energy was slightly superior and it successfully suppressed the other strike. It then continued its momentum and finally hit the body of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

However, after having much of its power absorbed on impact by the red fiery flames of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, there wasn’t much power left in the Red Lotus Battle Energy and it did not cause much damage to the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth’s body.

Seeing his Red Lotus Battle Energy succeeding and coming out ahead of the opponent’s strike, Lu Yu felt very relieved. After all, this was an improved Red Lotus Battle Energy that was extremely powerful. It was not at all inferior to the fire-attribute skills of an A-class Fearsome Beast.

After learning that the Red Lotus Battle Energy was better at neutralizing the opponent’s attack, Lu Yu then activated the Furnace skill in reverse.

Igniting strength, he doubled his health vitality!

As his health vitality surged, the Red Lotus True Fire converged once again.

This time, the Red Lotus True Fire was much smaller in size than before. Instead of the size of a person, it was now as thick as a leg.

However, its power was concentrated inside this smaller size, and the power contained within it was several times greater than before!
