Chapter 925: The Realm of 0.15 Seconds (2/2)
Surprised, Ringwraith tried to dissuade me with Galaxy Storm to the face. In response, I raised my left arm and summoned the Dragon God Shield, never slowing down in the slightest!
29883!
My incredible Magic Resist surprised Ringwraith again, but before he could react, my sword was already swinging toward his head—Burning Blade Slash!
Ringwraith dared not treat the skill lightly, so he grabbed his scepter with both hands and thrust it toward the Purple Ying Sword’s blade. Of course, there was no chance his scepter could stop the momentum of an Archean-grade weapon, so he was brought to his knees almost instantly. However, instead of continuing to resist, he relaxed and let the skill roll him away from me. It might look humiliating, but it actually allowed him to dodge two of three hits of my Burning Blade Slash!
MISS!
MISS!
1828!
The second I regained my footing, I felt Ringwraith throwing another spell at me. It was Bone Cage!
Countless bony arms burst out of the ground in an attempt to grab me. This skill had led to the deaths of many famous experts including Lasting of Blazing Hot Lips, Lin Bing Dou Zhe of Warsky Alliance, and Purple Marquis of Snowy Cathaya, so its power couldn’t be understated.
A cyclone of earthen energy surrounded me as I activated Great Earth Transformation. At the same time, I ran in a zigzag pattern three times in a row and avoided at least 7 arms who were trying to catch me. Then, I was out of Bone Cage just like that. I did it? I did it! The entire run had taken less than 0.5 seconds, and it was done out of pure reflex since there was no time to think at all. Even I couldn’t quite believe that I actually managed to escape the crowd control skill!
Thud!
I brought my foot down on the watery land and activated Thunderous Charge, shooting toward Ringwraith like a lighting bolt.
On the other side, Ringwraith was rattled and in disbelief after he watched me weaving my way out of his Bone Cage. He roared in fury, ”Impossible! There’s no way someone can dodge a near-instantaneous skill like that! Fuuuuuuuuck! Night of the Undead Dragon!”
I smiled as I thrust my sword at him. ”Yeah, no thanks!”
Pu!
Universe Break pierced through the Frost Bone Shield and Ringwraith’s c.h.e.s.t. The undead mage looked down with wide eyes and saw the Purple Ying Sword and a hole the size of a cannonball. This time, he wouldn't get lucky and survive a fatal blow.
The Purple Ying Sword was a powerful weapon, so one strike was all it took to take out Ringwraith. We were both undead players, but skill-wise I was leagues ahead of him.
……
Swhoosh!
After I returned to the waiting area, Beiming Xue cheered happily, ”That was a beautiful win, big bro!”
Lin Yixin said to Purple Marquis, ”You see that? Turns out that the undodgeable spell isn’t so undodgeable after all. You need to train harder…”
Purple Marquis complained, ”Lu Chen doesn’t count, boss. Not everyone is as stupidly good as him, you know…”
Meanwhile, Chaos Moon shot me a long glance after checking the timer. ”I checked how long it took you to execute Universe Break just now, Lu Chen, and the timer says it was 0.12 seconds. 0.12 seconds! Are you still human? Who on earth could react in such a short time?”
I replied calmly, ”That’s why Ringwraith is dead, and I’m not. A true expert must be faster than anyone!”
Suddenly, Chaos Moon blushed and said with an odd smile, ”Well… that depends on the situation. In some cases, the faster you are, the worse you’ll look, especially if you’re a man, you get me? I know you know what I’m saying, and Beauty Lin will eventually…”
Lin Yixin looked at Chaos Moon in confusion. ”I actually don’t get what you’re saying...”
Murong Mingyue interrupted, ”I get it.”
I shot her a disdainful look. ”What do you not get? If there was a position called ‘A.d.u.l.thood Consultant’ in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, it would be yours for sure…”
……
It was at this moment the system fairy summoned me back into the arena. The second round wasn’t over yet, so my opponent was still Ringwraith the Undead Mage.
This time, Ringwraith allowed his paranoia to take full control of him and stayed far, far away from me. I guessed he was that worried that I wouldn’t give him the chance to cast Night of the Undead Dragon.
The moment the countdown hit zero, I charged toward Ringwraith until we were about 25 yards away from each other. My sword burst into flames at the same time I raised my left palm and acted to summon the Ancient Seal!
”F.u.c.k!”
Ringwraith knew that it was bad, so he hurriedly raised his scepter and shouted, ”Kill that f.u.c.ker, Night of the Undead Dragon!”
”Roar roar roar…”
The earth split in half, and the images of countless undead dragons burst out of the crack. I immediately withdrew my arm and danced away from the powerful spell. Sometimes the undead dragons were almost close enough to touch the tip of my nose, but in the end I was able to dodge the spell perfectly.
”It’s over…”
Ringwraith knew he lost the moment his Night of the Undead Dragon failed to deal a single point of damage to me. Coiling Dragon Revolution and Burning Blade Slash later, the undead mage who had been performing exceptionally well in the WEL up until this point lost both rounds and died.
……
The overall score turned 1:1. So far, it looked like anyone could become the champion!
The third match was He Yi versus Song of Cloud and Water. Coincidence or not, it looked like the two guild leaders would be engaging each other in battle.
