229 Chapter 229 - The Fallen Young Master Han (2/2)

He intended for them to shift angle and have Young Master Han who was hiding behind the tree enter their line of sight, yet even after changing positions, his men's view was still blocked by something else. Truly, the spot Young Master Han had chosen was exceptional.

Nothing was perfect in this world, though, so an Archer eventually found a good position where he could clearly see Young Master Han's figure that was leaning against the tree. As he excitedly nocked his bow, he felt a breeze by his waist. Turning his head to look, he was greeted by Sword Demon's permanent scowl before being sent out of the PvP arena.

”There's another one over here!” Someone discovered Sword Demon's presence and hurriedly unleashed an attack over to him. But with practiced deftness, Sword Demon delved deep into the forest and immediately found a cluster of trees to obstruct the Archers and Mages' clear view of him.

”124, 253… 120, 251… 117, 146…” Sword Demon's private message constantly flashed with coordinates from Young Master Han. With Young Master Han directing him superbly, Sword Demon easily weaved through the forest, looped about, and appeared behind the backs of three different Archers or Mages, and assassinated them. Overall, he had killed four players including that Archer from before.

Fear ran up Brave Surge's spine and he hurriedly ordered his men back to prevent them from spreading too far out.

This convoluted command was another decision that paid attention to one matter while losing sight of another. Sword Demon's ghost-like movement derailed Brave Surge's train of thought. Gathering his men to one spot would just result to them facing a more frightening foe.

As the Archers and Mages gathered around Brave Surge, the ground beneath their feet began to heat up. ”Oh, no!” Those with fast reaction speed tried to flee from the spell's AOE as tears streamed down their faces, but it was too late. The Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno spell rose from the ground and its flames grew in intensity with each passing second. This group of low HP players simply had no way of surviving Gu Fei's fiery assault. Some Mages with high magic defense managed to cling on to their dear lives, but before they could celebrate, Descending Wheel of Flames had finished forming in the sky and descended on their heads. The Mages and Archers of Water Flower mercenary group were smashed into smithereens after being sandwiched between Gu Fei's two spells.

Everything descended into chaos and Brave Surge lost control of his men. Young Master Han even managed to find time to peek his head from behind the tree and bestow Heal on War Without Wounds to recover some of his HP.

War Without Wounds, who was steadfastly pitting his HP with the other enemy Warriors, suddenly perked up. This was not due to Young Master Han's Heal but due to his Cyclone's cool-down time finally ending. While Cyclone had incredibly high damage output, the skill's cool-down time was appropriately lengthy.

Young Master Han's Heal boosted War Without Wounds' confidence to a whole new level. Ignoring the attacks of the five men, War Without Wounds resolutely took two steps forward and unleashed Cyclone with his two claymores whirling out.

War Without Wounds had high defense and offense, so the five Warriors felt great remorse well within them as they faced his vicious attacks. They had originally thought that the five of them would be able to easily finish off War Without Wounds, yet they had never imagined that everything would drag out until this moment. Had they known that this would happen, the five of them would not have come forward together. Just two or three of them using Cyclone would have cleanly sliced War Without Wounds off the face of the map long ago.

They could only blame the fact that Cyclone's cool-down time was simply too long, which caused them just like most Warriors to prefer saving it for the critical moments. Their frugal mentality had actually caused them to be at a disadvantageous position right now as it had given War Without Wounds the chance to launch his counterattack.

With how long War Without Wounds had been taking their blows, the amount of Rage points he had accumulated was plentiful. As such, the dual-wielded Cyclone shredded the five Warriors until they turned into beams of white light.

Royal God Call did not idle while he was atop the tree. With Brother Assist's Blessing of Strength, he picked targets and fired off arrows as if his life depended on it.

The people under the trees had already fallen into disarray; they feared Sword Demon who came and went like an incorporeal apparition, and they were even more fearful of the devastating spells Gu Fei could release. As for Royal God Call, hardly anyone took note of his shot arrows.

”Don't panic!” Brave Surge hollered while anxiously waving his magic staff about. Water Flower mercenary group lost twenty-five men in the ensuing panic, and they were now down to only thirty men. What was worse was the fact that almost half of these remaining thirty men were Priests that pretty much possessed no combat power.

Gu Fei's burst of spells had since calmed down. Sword Demon had hidden himself in a corner of the forest after his sneak attacks. War Without Wounds had finished off the five Warriors, and the enemy Priests had chosen to not clash with him despite holding numerical superiority. As the forest descended into silence once more, Royal God Call finally located the Archer that that had shot him on the butt previously. ”Eat this, you little sh*t!” Royal God Call gritted his teeth and fired off an arrow on Snipe that he had been saving for this.

The arrow screeched through the air and Water Flower lost another player. Only twenty-nine players were left on Water Flower mercenary group's side now.This means a pyrrhic victory
