Chapter 147: Feeder (2/2)
Great Shot clearly wasn’t expecting me to target him right from the start. My Charge landed successfully and stunned him for one second!
Slayer Slash!
MISS!
Fuck, his evasion must be pretty high. I wasn’t expecting to miss my skill.
But it didn’t matter, because I still had Ice Ray!
Puchi!
The Ghost Ice Soul turned into an icicle and penetrated my opponent’s chest, dealing a whopping 1102 points of damage!
Archer’s HP scaling was barely any better than Mage’s, and Great Shot only had around 1000 HP. He couldn’t withstand my Rank 6 Ice Ray at all!
Great Shot groaned and collapsed to his knees. Panicking, the enemy bard applied both her Divine Valor and Death Match on the magic knight instead. It was in fact the right decision. One Rides As Thousands had pretty good Attack and Defense in the first place, so he was positively ravaging our formation with his Wasp after the female bard turned him into a mini god of war!
After Great Shot was killed, I immediately set my sights on the enemy mage!
My Dark Wasp flew straight to the mage and unleashed Flurry, destroying his Magic Shield right away. He tried to escape, but he didn’t expect me running at him from the side with my weapon already poised to strike!
973!
It was a basic attack, but it was a one-shot nonetheless!
The combination of Undead Energy and my Ghost Ice Soul made me a living reaper to all cloth-armor players!
Next, I moved onto the middle-aged warrior. Actually, their entire team was made up of middle-aged adults, and I felt terribly sorry for destroying them because it was rare to find people who embraced gaming so wholeheartedly at their age. But it was either them or us, and I wasn’t going to give up on the first place or the precious Hero’s Token that came with it.
My Pardon and Desperate Gambit hit the uncle at nearly the same time and dealt 2253 damage. He was one-shot as I expected him to be. His Defense was much poorer than the magic knight’s.
At this point, the only players left in the enemy team were the magic knight and the bard. Right now, One Rides As Thousands was fighting against Gui Guzi, but this time Yamete was alive to keep the latter healthy. Although One Rides As Thousands had Divine Valor and Death Match, Gui Guzi was able to fight him like a champ.
In fact, the Magic Knight didn’t have nearly enough healing to make full use of his buffs. His HP was dropping like a rock, and it was only a matter of time before he was killed on his feet!
Thud!
Beiming Xue took him out of his misery with a Devil Piercing Arrow. The bard shook her head with a smile and forfeited the round again!
Ding~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your team [Bloody Mercenaries] has entered the quarterfinals!
…...
Swhoosh!
Beiming Xue cheered after we were teleported out of the stage; an understandable reaction considering that this was a fight way harder than all the previous ones. We had lost three players during the first round, and Du Thirteen still died during the second round even though we were whooping our opponent’s asses.
I turned toward Du Thirteen and asked, “How’d you die just now, Thirteen? I didn’t even notice…”
Du Thirteen replied, “I ate a Fireball while you were wrecking the mage…”
“Fuck! Seriously?”
Beiming Xue giggled. “Thirteen’s a feeder, huh?”
Tears immediately started pouring down Du Thirteen’s cheeks.
Beiming Xue quickly added. “Gui Guzi and Mamate didn’t get any kills either. Boss took out nearly everyone on his own…”
Gui Guzi and Mamate wept again.
…...
The last match of the Top 16 matches was Plum Wine VS Mad Dragon!
Mad Dragon’s team was led by their guild leader, Roaming Dragon. He was accompanied by the so-called “Gemini Stars of Mad Dragon”, Iron Pardon and Inconstant; the charming Archer Coldmoon Rose, and finally a cute-looking priest called Mad Dragon Sweetie.
Coldmoon Rose and Mad Dragon Sweetie were standing next to Roaming Dragon and holding his arm. Roaming Dragon himself was clearly enjoying the moment.
It was not a sight for sore eyes. “Man, Roaming Dragon is one happy man…”
Beiming Xue saw my envy and smiled. She walked up to me and grabbed my right arm, saying, “Are you happy now, boss? Though, I guess we’re still lacking one person…”
Mamate walked up with perfect timing and grabbed my left arm. He grinned at me and said, “Now you’re definitely happy, aren’t you?”
Me: “Fuck…”
…...
The battle began shortly. Roaming Dragon had above-average equipment, skill and tactical acumen, not to mention that he was accompanied by fierce generals like Iron Pardon, Inconstant, and Coldmoon Rose. Mad Dragon crushed the Plum Wine team with barely any effort and became the last team to join the Top 8!
The Top 8 teams were finally decided. Their names and the match-ups were displayed on the big screen.
