561 Chapter 561 - The Focus is Clear (1/2)

”Drunk bro, why aren't you back yet?!” Fireball was already wailing in despair. There was no doubt that he was the weakest player out of the five; Vast Lushness had been sent flying, Blue Ease and Sakurazaka Moony were busy rescuing her, and Fireball remembered that there was another still underneath Southern Lone Blade's foot. Right now, Fireball was no more than a clown as he tried to leap, weave, and chant spells right at Southern Lone Blade to force the man into leaving, but why would Southern Lone Blade bother with him when he could easily bear the brunt of the three players' attacks at once? Besides, now that he had a Priest beside him, he sometimes even felt lazy to block the spells Fireball tossed over with his shield.

”I'm here!” at this crucial moment, Gu Fei was finally in position. This was a pivotal point of the battle, and no one was taking note where he would be coming out of. All they knew was that the moment he appeared, he was already crouching before Vast Lushness, clutching Moonlit Nightfalls with his hands as he fended off that sword from Unrivalled Lucky Star.

”That's quite the Strength you've got there!” Even though Gu Fei was not too strong himself, the Knight Unrivalled Lucky Star did not add much to Strength, either. With both their subpar Strength matched up, Gu Fei was able to hold on and resist the sword as he said this, turning to take a glance behind him expressionlessly.

”Sorry…” Vast Lushness was embarrassed. She had not been standing idly and waiting for her death, Instead, she used her spell, Kiss of Death, the moment she saw Unrivalled Lucky Star running toward her, but because Gu Fei had appeared so suddenly in the spell's path, that Kiss ended up landing right on him.

Gu Fei showed Vast Lushness his full face when he turned around, letting Vast Lushness see that it was him, so there was no need for her to mess around anymore. Gu Fei's eyes were not even on Unrivalled Lucky Star, yet his actions were still against him.

”You look rather familiar!” Gu Fei said when he turned to face Unrivalled Lucky Star again as he straightened up and attacked. The body of Moonlit Nightfalls slid along Unrivalled Lucky Star's sword, as if unimpeded at all. By the time Unrivalled Lucky Star turned into a ball of white light, Gu Fei's shimmering sword had just finished being wreathed in an intense flame.

Gu Fei's attack had truly been too fast. It was so quick that he had not even gotten an answer for that question he just asked.

His eyes swiveled, and Gu Fei caught sight of the peeking Flame Singed Clothes. The moment Flame Singed Clothes saw that Gu Fei had his eye on him, he quickly shrank his head back. Gu Fei was pondering if he should finish that Mage off when he heard Fireball yell, ”Drunk bro, quickly come help!”

Gu Fei did not hesitate and quickly left Vast Lushness's side to come dashing over to him.

Southern Lone Blade was currently feeling so dispirited that he felt like dying. Just as he was feeling pleased with himself for holding down Svelte Dancer with a stomp of his foot, it was now his turn to be trapped now. He had no idea how much defense Svelte Dancer had, but the woman looked to be unharmed even after giving her quite a few cuts with his claymore. Looking at her eyes that were aflame with anger, Southern Lone Blade was certain without a shadow of doubt that he would be met with a miserable end if he ever released her from beneath his foot.

Now that the even more fearsome Gu Fei was rushing over to him, Southern Lone Blade no longer dared to dawdle. Stepping on Svelte Dancer and crossing over her, he gave a kick with his back leg, which sent her flying the moment he released his foot off her.

”Don't mind—F*CK, YOU B*ST*RD!” Svelte Dancer, who was originally shouting 'don't mind me', soon realized that Gu Fei had no intention of getting anywhere near to catch her at all. Seeing the man instantly duck to the side with great Agility, Svelte Dancer abruptly felt her heart sour and quickly changed her words to curse at Gu Fei even as she ate a whole face of dirt when she crashed onto the ground.

”Are you okay?!” Vast Lushness stopped by and quickly checked on Svelte Dancer, but Gu Fei continued to dash ever forward to chase after Southern Lone Blade.

Southern Lone Blade could not help but feel a fleeting sense of sorrow when he saw this. Thousand Miles Drunk was truly a real man, to not give a whit of care for the other sex just like him. It was a pity that the situation he met this true man left him a little dejected; at this rate, how would his baby-legs outrun Thousand Miles Drunk with his full-Agility build?

”Disperse!” Southern Lone Blade came to a stop and made his stand as he gave this order. The others naturally knew that he was prepared to sacrifice himself to stall for time so that the others would have a chance of escaping. With how things stood, this was indeed their only option, seeing that Southern Lone Blade would already having a very hard time escaping.

Flame Singed Clothes, who had been hiding all this while, turned head and ran. Realizing that Sakurazaka Moony and Blue Ease did not have any plans for him, he quickly dropped his wall of flame to force the two back. Meanwhile, Blackwater and Paddy Scented Pastures were already executing Southern Lone Blade's initial order to retreat, so it was not difficult for either of them to escape.

Being unable to take them all out at once did not dull Gu Fei's fighting spirit. With the blade of his sword lit with flames again, it threateningly slashed right on to Southern Lone Blade.

Southern Lone Blade did not balk to the challenge and raised his shield forward as he Charged into it.

Gu Fei saw that Southern Lone Blade was keeping that block with his shield very low to the ground, so he knew that this man was treating this fight very seriously. The first time the two had had a skirmish in Linshui City, Southern Lone Blade had also used his Charge to block the strike, but his shield was raised too normally, allowing Gu Fei to use a technique from his prone sabre-style to roll right into his guard. It was apparent that the move had left quite a deep impression on Southern Lone Blade after.

Unable to execute the same trick again, Gu Fei dodged toward Southern Lone Blade's left. Even though Gu Fei had no idea what was the angle the sword behind the shield would strike from, he knew that the sword was in Southern Lone Blade's right hand. Attacking an enemy on the left would be a little awkward to achieve. Gu Fei was confident that this sword of his would be faster than Southern Lone Blade's.
