Chapter 656

After a storm of attacks from Wu Yan’s Dual Blades, his attacks which exceeded Heathcliff’s defense shaved Heathcliff’s HP down to a level where another attack, even a blocked attack would make him hit the Yellow Zone (50%) .

Once that happens, Heathcliff will lose…

Granted, Heathcliff still has administrator privileges, Hence, he can fix his HP bar at 51% . Wu Yan wouldn’t be able to win even if he somehow had the stamina to continue attacking until the next day .

However, Heathcliff will have to be very careful when he wants to use this move .

In front of so many prying eyes, it’s clear that something would seem odd to the players if Wu Yan’s. .h.i.t couldn’t reduce him to the yellow zone when the previous attacks worked to reduce his HP . In front of more astute players, his cover might even be blown .

Without fixing his HP gauge, he has no doubts that he would enter the Yellow Zone after another attack, that would be his loss…

So, Heathcliff is left with two options .

First, he can try to reduce Wu Yan’s HP to 50% before he gets. .h.i.t . This would make Heathcliff the winner .

Practically speaking, this would be impossible . Wu Yan’s HP gauge is at 100%, he is also stronger in strength, speed, and other stats . It’s doubtful if he can even land a clean hit . Wu Yan can also choose to take the hit and counter Heathcliff, winning the duel .

Secondly, he can keep dodging and shave Wu Yan’s HP off .

The question is, with inferior speed, can Heathcliff reliably dodge Wu Yan’s attacks?

These two methods are not feasible, which means, he has no idea how he can come out on top .

Heathcliff can also abuse his administrator privileges to modify his ATK and AGI stats . In this manner, he can obtain the power to one-hit-KO Wu Yan, and/or, exceed his speed . However, these two methods are also rendered ineffective by high risk .

Can evenly-matched opponents on the same level and similar equipment do away with more than 50% of the fighter’s HP in one hit?

Would any player buy that?

It’s risky because players might catch on to his real ident.i.ty .

Wu Yan already proved that he had higher speed than him, he also had superior equipment . It would raise a lot of eyebrows if he suddenly became faster than Wu Yan .

With administrator privileges backing him up, there are many other ways he can win this duel . But, using those methods will all inevitably leave evidence or trails that might lead back to his real ident.i.ty .

To win while preserving his ident.i.ty, in truth, there’s no feasibly way to achieve this .

Heathcliff never thought a player could force him into a corner like this .

He felt like Wu Yan is driving him up the wall, he’s very frustrated!

Heathcliff doesn’t want his cover blown so soon . Even if there would be little suspicion, given enough scrutiny and attention, his true ident.i.ty will be revealed .

The opponent Heathcliff is facing isn’t an idiot . Once he uses one cheat too many, he will surely catch on . It wouldn’t be hard to connect the dots when he drops too many hints . Heathcliff didn’t want this to happen .

Heathcliff wasn’t aware that Wu Yan already knew about his ident.i.ty from the start of this whole shebang .

n.o.body thought Heathcliff stood a chance, from the performance of both fighters and the factors that were stacked against them . Full HP vs barely >50% HP, the favor is overwhelmingly in Wu Yan’s favor, his Dual Blades further enhanced his chances of winning .

Even the KoBs didn’t think their own guild master would win this round . The other unbiased players thought even more so .

The audience watched with silence as the fighters stared off at each other .
