Chapter 723: Brink of Collapse (2/2)
He crossed his sword in front of him, and a fiery red energy floated to the blade. The next moment, the head of a wolf appeared above Vienna’s Sorrow’s head, and his sword erupted into a rapid cyclone of flames. He swung the sword at Eyes Like Water and shouted, ”Eat this! Beast Howl Slash!”
”Roar!”
A bestial howl accompanied the swing. Eyes Like Water calmly raised her sword in defense and pressed her left palm to the flat side of the blade!
Chiang!
28738!
Unfortunately, the attack couldn’t be parried. Beast Howl Slash drastically increased Vienna’s Sorrow’s Attack, and it was impossible for Eyes Like Water to stop it. The girl let out a painful groan as her mount vanished on its own, and she was sent rolling unceremoniously across the ground. The knightress hadn’t given up, however. Stopping next to Stranger of Three Lifetimes, she rose to her feet again and pounced toward Vienna’s Sorrow once more!
Stranger of Three Lifetimes couldn’t stand this sight any longer. She shouted, ”Come back, Eyes!”
Bang! Vienna’s Sorrow suddenly froze in place as the stunned icon appeared above his head. It was a Shock Arrow loosed by a beautiful archer standing next to Strange of Three Lifetimes. It was Scentless Water, the strongest archer of Blazing Hot Lips!
Eyes Like Water seized the opportunity to hit Vienna’s Sorrow with a Barrier Break and a warrior’s Double Slash, but she only managed to delete around 20% of his HP. Without her mount, she could barely penetrate his defense, much less kill him.
”Shit…”
Eyes Like Water had no choice but to retreat and let the archers and mages focus fire Vienna’s Sorrow. In less than 5 seconds, the infamous Berserker dropped below 30% HP and was forced to withdraw. However, he managed to kill a Blazing Hot Lips magic knight with a Triple Slash and absorbed almost ten thousand HP in the process. No wonder he was able to dominate the battlefield as he did despite going up against both Warsky Alliance and Blazing Hot Lips. His equipment gave him the lifesteal attribute.
Wary of Scentless Water’s power, Vienna’s Sorrow finally stopped trying to force his way through the bastion of players surrounding Stranger of Three Lifetimes. Instead, he roamed the edges and focused on cutting down Blazing Hot Lips’ key players, taking apart their defenses little by little. An hour passed by slowly as the fight dragged on. The only ones in Blazing Hot Lips who were still keeping a tight formation was Stranger of Three Lifetimes and her hundreds of defenders. Everyone else was routed or in the process of being routed by the enemy’s unstoppable offense.
Warsky Alliance was starting to show signs of defeat as well. They gave ground repeatedly as a dozen or so Heroic Bannermen battered their battle line again and again, and of all these players Vienna’s Sorrow was the strongest of them all. This man was so powerful that Even Lin Bing Dou Zhe, Laughing At The Heavens and Warsky could do nothing about him. If the Berserker wasn’t wary about Farewell Song ambushing him from the dark, he would’ve plowed right through them and wreaked havoc already.
……
We continued to observe the battlefield from the mountains as the battle dragged on.
Hot and Sour Noodles said, ”Blazing Hot Lips and Warsky Alliance will crumble in half an hour at most. I wasn’t expecting the Northern Alliance to attack so fiercely. They’re practically throwing themselves at us without a care, and the number of Heroic Bannermen on the battlefield had passed the 40th mark. I’m not surprised that Blazing Hot Lips and Warsky Alliance are falling apart considering that they’re all the elites of their respective cities…”
It was at this moment Tempest Shadow raised his spear and said, ”Candle Dragon is ready to take over this fight!”
Blue Sky Scar smiled and said scathingly, ”Who would’ve thought that Warsky Alliance and Blazing Hot Lips would be this weak? They seem strong when they’re fighting among themselves, but their weakness is exposed the second they engage the Heroic Bannermen!”
Eyes turning steely, I glared at him and growled, ”Shut your trap, Blue Sky Scar! You would’ve died in Vienna’s Sorrow’s hands already if you were in Lin Bing Dou Zhe or Eyes Like Water’s position! What right do you think a piece of shit like you has to mock those who are giving it their all on the frontlines?”
God’s Dance frowned but said nothing.
Candlelight Shadow however, grabbed the hilt of his sword and growled back, ”You’re the one who should control yourself, Lu Chen! How many Nation Wars have you fought? Who do you think you are to criticize my men?!”
I sneered. ”This is the first time I fight in a Nation War, but so what? I just can’t stand people like him. Fuck, if he criticizes Blazing Hot Lips and Warsky Alliance again, I’ll kill him right here right now!”
”You!” Candlelight Shadow’s eyes bulged.
Hot and Sour Noodles stepped out with a helpless smile on his face. ”Guys, can you please give me face and stop arguing? In fact, please go to your defense zone right away. Blazing Hot Lips and Warsky Alliance could collapse at any moment, and it’s up to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Candle Dragon and Purple Lily’s turn to replace them. Don’t forget, this Nation War is being broadcasted live, and every fan in the world is watching us right now!”
”Hmph!”
Neither Candlelight Shadow nor I could stand each other’s presence. We both returned to our camps in a black mood.
