Chapter 318 – Just a Bit More….. (2/2)

“Inhuman. Let me stab you a few times……”

“We’ll just have to see about that!”

“……”

The system clock started to count down.

“3！”

“2！”

“1！”

Battle Start!

I shot forward like an arrow. Against a Knight without high attack like him, I didn’t have to worry at all. With my 2800+ defense, even if I wanted him to kill me, he wouldn’t be able to. Moreover, I also had a Lv 8 [Heal] that could recover 1200 health; this would be an easy win.

Seeing me lift my sword, Don’t Be Foolish activated [Heavenly Shield Wall], and held his position, waiting to defend against my attack.

I lowered my Emperor Qin’s Sword and rushed out to attack the Knight’s body, dealing 1982 points of damage. Without the stacking effect of [Kill For Blood], I couldn’t kill him as easily. After I got within 5 meters of him, with our backs against each other, I quickly turned around. This was where the player’s reaction and attack speed came into play. With his back still facing me, I had already activated my Lv 8 [Combo]. Don’t be Foolish turned a second too slow and received five consecutive attacks——

871！

904！

887！

924！

1001！

In the middle of the attacks, Don’t Be Foolish cast [Cleansing Wind] to recover 30% of his health, narrowly avoiding death. At the same time, I felt a chilling sensation on my arm; his Ice Mantis pet had attacked me!

“Roar!”

Flaming Tiger God rushed forward, and grabbed onto the Ice Mantis’ head, subsequently dealing out 3102 damage. It then activated [Fierce Roar], killing both Don’t Be Foolish and his Ice Mantis at the same time. The two large numbers appeared, signifying that I had won my 13th round.

“Shua!”

After returning to the waiting room, I found Fox in front of me. I stared at him and he stared back.

“F*ck. How were you so fast?” I asked.

Fox rubbed his nose and muttered bitterly, “Actually I don’t know what happened either. Before I could activate [Bullet Screen] or even blink, Fang Ge Que’s magic had already hit me, dealing 4100+ damage. It was too brutal…..”

“A single spell dealt 4100+ damage?” I asked.

“Yeah!” Fox nodded.

My palms got sweaty, “Damn, how terrifying is this Fang Ge Que……”

Wan Er appeared beside us and calmly said, “I watched the replay of their battle. That’s one of Fang Ge Que’s custom skills——[Ice Rock Blast], an SS-ranked skill. When used, the ice locks onto a target and attacks instantaneously. That’s why Fox was instantly killed before he knew it. I checked through Fang Ge Que’s recordings and all his battles, except one, had ended the same way. The exception was a Knight at full health. After using [Ice Rock Blast], he cast an addition [Pillar of Fire & Ice] to finish him off….”

I was dumbstruck, “Fang Ge Que actually made SS custom skills?”

“Aiya. Why would I lie to you? Would you give me candy if I did?” The beautiful miss teased.

I pursed my lips, “If I can enter the top 32 in this Rise of the Heroes event, I’ll buy you candy……”

“Okay, you promised. I’ll be waiting…..”

“Mhm……”

……

I shifted my gaze back to the screen; Qing Qian had enlarged Dancing Forest’s battle with Jian Feng Han. On the battlefield, Dancing Forest used the Wanderer’s Bow to continuously kite Jian Feng Han. A [Meteor Shot] directly pierced through Jian Feng Han’s body!

1672！

“Ugh, Come on, Little Forest….” Old K clenched his fist.

I was also beyond nervous. On the screen, Dancing Forest was at full health and and Jian Feng Han only had 25% health left. After drinking a potion, he recovered back up to 80% health. This was a Lv 10 potion; he had definitely bought it from our National Beauty.

However, Jian Feng Han was only at a disadvantage for a while. After sacrificing 75% of his health, he had finally caught up to Dancing Forest. Waving his Flaming Cloud Sword, he activated [Through the Cloud Slash].

Dancing Forest reacted with unwavering confidence. Using her [Crystallize] skill, she turned into a crystal, forcing Jian Feng Han’s [Through the Cloud Slash] to miss. After the effects of [Crystallize] wore off, Jian Feng Han activated [Blade Rush] and slashed Dancing Forest, depleting more than 50% of her health. He quickly turned and activated his custom skill——[Exposed Point]!

Dancing Forest could not react fast enough and was instantly killed!

……

Another one was eliminated…….

Dancing Forest was sent back to the waiting room. She stomped her feet in anger, “Just a bit more and I would’ve gotten him. Arghhhhhh!”

I comforted her, “Try harder next time….. It’s already the 14th round. After four more rounds, we’ll be in the top 32. Everyone give it your all!”
