The next match appeared on the big screen . Before we knew it, it was already the final of the “Who Will Fight Me” tournament!
Peach Garden:
Indigo Collar LV-62 Warrior
Moon Scar LV-61 a.s.sa.s.sin
Soft Nocturne LV-61 Bard
Wheel Shadow LV-62 Archer
Painted Skin LV-62 Mage
b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries:
Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand LV-64 Undead Swordsman
Beiming Xue LV-63 Dark Archer
Gui Guzi LV-63 Undead Knight
Yamete LV-60 Priest
Amazing Expert LV-60 Warrior
… . . .
Level-wise both teams were pretty similar, and everyone had finished their third promotions . The key difference lay in the fact that Peach Garden had a high-level bard, and b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries had three top-rate dark players . Both sides had good reasons to be wary of each other .
Swhoosh swhoosh . . .
Ten players were teleported into the tournament stage about 25 yards away from each other . They were free to make any last minute adjustments until the countdown hit zero . Once the barrier disappeared, both sides would meet one another in a clash of metal and blood .

The young warrior, Indigo Collar was gripping his blade and watching us with a half-smile . Behind him, the a.s.sa.s.sin Moon Scar was bending slightly so that he could enter stealth at any moment . They were definitely not someone we could underestimate . Their battle stances, cla.s.s synergy, and teamwork were better than any other opponent we had encountered thus far .
Snowy Cathaya’s defeat hadn’t been entirely undeserved . Even if Lin Yixin had been in top form, their chances of winning still wouldn’t exceed 50% .
As I watched the five enemies in front of me, I couldn’t help but think that the waters of the gaming world run too deep . Who knows how many more experts like the ones before me were training in the mountains and waiting for their moment to s.h.i.+ne? The reason I was never able to become as arrogant as Roaming Dragon was because one, I just wasn’t born or raised that way, and two, I had never thought myself to be insurmountable .
Peach Garden hadn’t lost a single match all the way to the finals, and not even Snowy Cathaya, the guild of the Fruit Knife G.o.ddess, was able to halt their footsteps . They were destined to become a powerful force in Floating Ice City, and who knows, maybe Peach Garden was plotting the same thing as us . Maybe we both wanted to use this compet.i.tion as the stepping stone to further our conquest!
Indigo Collar clutched his sword and smiled at me . “Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, huh? Heheh, I didn’t think we would run into you and your men in the final! Whatever the outcome of this final may be, know that you have my sincere respect . You are the only person in the entire Floating Ice City who has the courage to challenge G.o.ds of Destruction alone . Even I am not that courageous…”
I returned his smile and said, “You flatter me . ”
Indigo Collar chuckled . “That being said, I’m not giving up the first place of this compet.i.tion to anyone . I’m sorry, but the b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries are going to die just like Snowy Cathaya!”
Behind me, Beiming Xue raised her bow and retorted, “You talk big for someone who got lucky . Do you really think you would stand here had Wind Fantasy been in her best shape?”
Indigo Collar smiled uncaringly . “It doesn’t matter . When it comes to five-man matches, I’m certain that Peach Garden is unsurpa.s.sed in Floating Ice City . Like it or not, you are not winning this fight!”
Beiming Xue was panting with rage . So young and innocent . She had a long way to go before she could truly master her own emotions .
Gui Guzi asked in the team channel, “How should we fight this, boss?”
I replied, “They have a third-promotion bard, and that’s very scary . Act as you see fit, but always remember to focus-fire whoever their bard applies her buff to . Lil Beiming, you’re the crowd control of our team . Anyone you shoot, we’ll prioritize killing them before anyone else . Mamate, protect yourself . Move backward if you think the situation demands it . Get it?”
They all nodded and said, “You don’t need to tell us…”
“ . . . ”
Ah, f.u.c.k them . Let the final match begin!
The system began its countdown .

Start!
Soft Nocturne, the enemy bard, took action the second the battle began . First, she played the zither twice and applied Divine Valor and Death Match to Indigo Collar . Then, she applied an instant buff on the archer, Wheel Shadow, that increased his critical rate by 25% . What a crazy la.s.s!
“Die!”
I raised my sword and charged straight at Indigo Collar . This warrior had 2 buffs on him, so I had to be the one to stop him . No one else in b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries could deal with a 20% stat increase!
“Heh!”
Indigo Collar gave me an eerie smile at me before charging toward me like a bull . I smiled right back . After I recovered from my illness, my brain lag was actually reduced to the point where I was slightly above the average person . Plus, I had predicted that he would use Charge on me!
Rustle rustle…
I slid 5 yards to the right in one smooth motion . Indigo Collar withdrew his lazy, arrogant smile when his Charge completely missed me!
