Chapter 90 – Tag Team Battle (1/2)
ASliverofSmoke was angry and speechless at the same time. However, DreamButterfly and SnowPhoenix stepped forth.
“Money Grubber, you snatched our pet egg. Hurry up and hand it over, or do you want us to go and get it ourselves?” DreamButterfly yelled.
“Then come and get it,” Fatty said lazily.
“Money Grubber, it isn’t going to be easy to take our things,” SnowPhoenix looked towards Fatty. “How about we make a bet?”
“Bet on what?”
“We’ll fight. If I win, then return the pet egg to us,” said SnowPhoenix.
“And if you lose?” Fatty chuckled and checked SnowPhoenix out.
“I won’t,” SnowPhoenix was very confident. She caressed her ice blue staff as her hair fluttered in a wind with what seemed to be a hint of cold air.
“Perhaps you will,” Fatty stepped forward. “How about this. If I lose, then I return the egg to you. If you lose, then help me do something.”
“Fine,” SnowPhoenix replied dully, then turned silent once more. She merely waved her staff and formed an icicle that shot towards Fatty.
Fatty chuckled, sidestepped it, then disappeared in stealth.
“I have heard a lot about Family Head HeadofGod who is the third ranking expert on the assassin rankings. This little lady is merely fifth on the hunter rankings. I would like to see the might of the third, Big Brother HeadofGod, please show me,” DreamButterfly slowly stepped forth and challenged HeadofGod when she saw SnowPhoenix begin her fight with Fatty.
“Since the beautiful DreamButterfly said so, then this one will naturally not refuse,” HeadofGod smiled, took a few steps back, then vanished.
“Wow, this is way too embarrassing. He’s actually using stealth when fighting with a beauty!”
“Yeah, he’s causing all men to lose face!”
“What’s wrong with that? If an assassin doesn’t use stealth, then how is he even an assassin?”
“Have you seen any assassin who doesn’t use stealth?”
An argument spread through the crowd. Some looked down on the two assassins who chose to stealth, while others agreed with what they did.
However, Fatty and HeadofGod disregarded them all. They merely walked around and waited for the perfect moment to strike.
Since it was two against two, DreamButterfly and SnowPhoenix looked at each other, then stood together. One cast Icy Fortress around them, while the other gripped her golden bow tightly and prepared to shoot.
“F*ck, this is cheating! Not only are they fighting with two hidden classes, they are actually working together now. This is just bullying!”
“Yeah, they look good, but why are they so shameless!”
Similar to their foes, DreamButterfly and SnowPhoenix disregarded the crowd’s chatter and merely waited for Fatty and HeadofGod to attack.
Although it was the two assassin’s first time teaming up, they did seem to know what the other was thinking. They each took a side and moved towards the two female players like a pincer formation.
Icy Fortress was like an upside-down bowl which covered the two female players. The pale blue ice seemed to glitter and radiate cold air, even cause snow to appear in its surroundings.
It was a three hundred and sixty degrees defensive skill that was the bane of an assassin’s existence. No matter which direction an attacker attacked from, they would have to break through the Icy Fortress first, unless the two players within chooses to walk out instead.
“Guild Master Smoke, what do you think about the two beauties’ chances of victory?” XuanYuanSword began to chat with ASliverofSmoke.
ASliverofSmoke was still annoyed that XuanYuanSword didn’t give him face earlier. He snorted, “A hundred percent.”
“Oh? Guild Master Smoke has that much faith in the two beauties’ strength?” XuanYuanSword was rather surprised.
“Heh, let’s talk about the rankings. DreamButterfly is ranked fifth on the hunter rankings, that’s no worse than HeadofGod’s third on the assassin rankings. What’s more, SnowPhoenix is ranked fourteen on the magus rankings, but what about Money Grubber? Tch, he’s just a lucky guy,” ASliverofSmoke said coldly. “In terms of class, although both Money Grubber and HeadofGod are assassins, which should counter mages and hunters, they are against two hidden class experts with the Mirage Archer and Ice Magus class. That means the class counter is minimalized. What’s more, both beauties are very experienced in fighting players. Based on that, what do you think?”
“I agree with you that the two beauties will win, but it won’t be easy,” XuanYuanSword replied after a ponder.
“Is that so? Then why don’t we make a bet on it,” ASliverofSmoke revealed a sinister smile.
“Bet on what?”
“If the two beauties win easily, then your Myriad Swords will be incorporated into my Sword Manor.”
“What!?” XuanYuanSword’s expression drastically changed. Then, he quickly calmed down. “And if I win?”
“Just like SnowPhoenix’s bet with Money Grubber. I’ll do something for you if you win,” ASliverofSmoke responded.
“Sure, deal!”
“Oh? I guess you are very confident in those two?”
“Heh, you are very confident in the two women as well, aren’t you?” XuanYuanSword said coldly. “Shut up for now. Let us see the results.”
…
Half an hour slowly passed by. During the thirty minutes, SnowPhoenix recasted Icy Fortress thrice, while DreamButterfly maintained her grip on her golden bow. She tried shooting a few times, but didn’t manage to hit their opponents, so she finally gave up and merely waited. On the other hand, Fatty and HeadofGod were nowhere to be seen.
