Chapter 1182: Giving It Our All (1/2)
”You are courting death!”
God of War attacked from behind before he growled out his threat, but I was able to drop to my knees in time and watch the sword sailing past my forehead with inches to spare. However, the world-class player turned his wrist, angled his sword downward, and attempted to skewer me with Barrier Break. It was some of the fastest reactions I had seen yet.
Pa!
Thankfully, I was still faster than him. First, I caught his wrist to slow down his strike. Then, I executed helix maneuver without altering my POV and successfully moved out of the way of the attack, and performed a back kick that sent him flying to where he came from. Strength-wise, I was much stronger than he was.
It wasn’t over though. I bent my body to the side just enough that an arrow aimed at me sailed harmlessly next to my nose. I immediately determined Yeye the Witch’s location, brought my left hand to my forehead and cast Myriad Swords Obliteration. At the same time, I widened my stance and threw the Purple Ying Sword at her. I completed both moves in just 0.15 seconds, a time shorter than what it took for a normal person to react!
”Ah!?”
Yeye the Witch only managed a yelp before my sword carved a huge hole into her chest. Coupled together with Myriad Swords Obliteration, she had no choice but to collapse to the ground and trigger a system announcement—
Ding~!
System Announcement: Attention all players, player ”Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand” (Unaffiliated) killed the Temple Guard, player ”Yeye the Witch” (India), and obtained 10% of the contribution points, 212820 points!
……
I already knew that my combo was going to kill Yeye the Witch, so I wasted no time in charging forward and blocking Purple Thunder’s Cruel Blade and Freezing Slash with my shield. My Battle Astral Wind dropped a considerable amount of durability anyway because none of these players were small fries.
”Dammit!”
Cyan Frost hurriedly turned around and ran along an S-shaped path. It was because she realized that I was trying to kill her!
”You think you can escape!?”
All I needed to do was slide sideways to block in front of the girl. Her gaping mouth was a good enough reaction toward the power of the helix maneuver. Of course, another reason why I was able to turn this quickly despite moving at insane speed was because the Fusion Armor removed all the turn rate penalty. It was without a doubt one of the Ancient Divine Dragon’s greatest qualities!
Bang!
I punched behind me and dispelled Breeze and Rain’s Soul Capture before he could catch me with it. Then, I quickened my footsteps and caught the returning Purple Ying Sword just in time to inject her veins with Purple Frost Concentration. The second her Defense was reduced, I executed Burning Blade Slash and caused three damage numbers to rise above her head—
280003!
371871!
423885!
There was no chance the Ice Knight could survive my powerful Attack after her Defense was reduced. I could see the burning fury in her eyes as she dropped to the ground.
Ding~!
System Announcement: Attention all players, player ”Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand” (Unaffiliated) killed the JGL Hall of Famer, player ”Cyan Frost” (Japan), and obtained 10% of the contribution points, 190870 points!
……
My back turned cold as Inferno Sixtuple Slash shredded my Battle Astral Wind completely. Well, there goes my moment of invincibility!
Right after my protection skill was gone, Red Maple’s Maple Kill struck me and dealt 170k damage. Motherfucker, how does the bastard hit so hard even though he’s just Level 182?
Whoosh!
The Divine Martial War Boots skidded across the ground as I turned again and knocked aside God of War’s sword with the Dragon God Shield. Then, I charged straight toward Red Maple!
”You want to kill me now, brute?!” Red Maple grinned savagely.
He fired his Thunder God Ball and Wind Dragon Revolution at me while backing away. Behind me, Breeze and Rain and God of War clung to me like shadows and unleashed their own attacks. There was no surviving three of them attacking me at once, no matter how powerful I was.
Swhoosh!
Breeze and Rain reached me first and cast Soul Refining Cage. If it hit me, I would be trapped for 7 seconds straight!
I dashed behind a shrubbery and went silent for a time. As the spell hit the location where I was at, God of War asked, ”Did it land?”
Breeze and Rain’s pupils suddenly shrank. ”No!”
I burst out from the shrubbery and rushed toward Red Maple again, uncaring for the fact that I was covered in leaves. Soul Refining Cage would’ve hit me there if I hadn’t abused the line of sight break tactic in the nick of time. My sword cut through Red Maple’s neck, but the man immediately responded by turning his ring. He was about to activate his invincibility skill.
Swhoosh!
My cloak fluttered in the air as I made a sharp turn and punched out with the Magic Piercing Punch. The unthinkable happened. The skill actually managed to interrupt the invincibility skill cast and dispel it. After that, it was just a matter of choosing which skills I wanted to use to end him. I decided to go with Universe Break + Burning Blade Slash.
Ding~!
System Announcement: Attention all players, player ”Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand” (Unaffiliated) killed the JGL Hall of Famer, player ”Red Maple” (Japan), and obtained 10% of the contribution points, 280901 points!
……
Bang!
Suddenly, I heard a dull impact from behind and felt like someone had shredded my back into pieces. I checked my health and realized in fear that it had dropped below 21% before I knew it. After drinking a health potion and using Tenacity of the Dead to restore my HP, I turned around and attempted to drive back my pursuers with Myriad Swords Obliteration + Rise of the Guardian Dragon. I managed to kill a group of enemies, but Breeze and Rain and God of War simply downed a health potion and kept charging. There was also that minor problem of holy light constantly healing these two hyenas.
”Fuck!”
Anyone could see that they were desperate to remove me from the battlefield. I could understand why. Cyan Earth City and Purple Grape City were allies on this battlefield, and I had just killed some of Purple Grape City’s greatest players right under Breeze and Rain and God of War’s noses. Of course they wouldn’t be able to stand the humiliation. All experts possessed at least some amount of pride, and they would do anything to eliminate those who stepped on it!
