Chapter 231 – Parapet; Ballista (1/2)

“You guys truly live up to the reputation of being the top rogue guild.” Despite being the opposite party, God Slayer wasn’t stingy with his praise. “But if you think you can win, then you are very wrong.”

As he finished his words, God Slayer slightly waved his hand. A scroll flew up, and a huge earth-yellow formation appeared in the air above the God Slayer Alliance. The earth instantly trembled, and the land around the group rolled, lifting a round earth parapet of three meters in height, two meters in width, and roughly twenty meters in diameter. The parapet perfectly surrounded the players of the God Slayer Alliance inside.

“HeadodGod, this is a scroll that our five hundred brothers each died at least once to get, the Advanced Earth skill scroll, Sand Wall. We farmed it especially to deal with you guys. You can just attack all you want!”

God Slayer’s voice rang out from inside. The God Slayer Alliance was determined to turtle and spend the rest of the match in there, letting God Familia do whatever without budging.

The members of God Familia controlled their pets and mounts to run haphazardly around the parapet, trying to find an opening.

“You guys have never encountered this kind of move?” Fatty asked.

“We have, several times, but the opponents weren’t this resolved to stay inside. We lured them out and took care of them,” TheFugitive crouched low, replying to Fatty while he paid close attention for a chance to turn the tables. “This type of scroll should be around 500,000 gold coins in the market. It seems they are truly determined to stand in our way.”

“Big Bro, their defense is too tight. Let’s use our secret weapon,” BigPillarofGod suggested.

“We can’t yet. This is only the semi-finals. If we use it now, we’ll be vulnerable in the final match.” HeadofGod was firm against revealing their hidden trump card.

“Woah there, someone still has some good stuff hidden,” Fatty joked.

“Well then, we’re in a bad spot.” TheFugitive stroke his chin. “If we knew in advance that the enemy would be this despicable, we should have gathered a full hundred people before coming.”

“The other party has the Rogue class features completely figured out,” HeadofGod remarked. “They already stated very clearly that they weren’t afraid of losing face. Their goal is to make us lose patience and attack. When rogues lose their patience, they’ll die the fastest.”

Time passed as the two sides entered a silent deadlock. With every passing minute, the opponent’s chance of victory increased by a great deal. Even HeadofGod began to grow flustered.

“Now that’s rare. The side with fewer people is eager to attack, while the side with many people fancies hiding away like turtles.”

“What the f*ck?! If you don’t even have the gall to attack then what the hell did you enter the competition for? Go home to your kids already!”

“God Slayer, your mom is calling you to come back for dinner!”

Outside, the audience zone was filled with enraged curses. They couldn’t care less who’d win in the end, their only requirement was to watch an excellent match.

“F*ck! Come out if you have the gall!” TheFugitive screamed.

“Oohh! Woah, mommy, I’m so scared, come in if you have the ability!” The herd of God Slayer Alliance playfully jeered from inside the barrier.

“HeadofGod, no need to think much longer. The defense of Sand Wall isn’t something that you rogues can break. Just admit defeat already and save time for all of us.” God Slayer snorted. “Don’t blame us for being low, blame yourselves for being too arrogant. Such an important competition and you actually don’t participate with the most number allowed.”

“Sand Wall huh? Heh.” Fatty chuckled.

Finding a spot with the desired distance, Fatty flipped his hand. The Plenilune Ballista appeared.

“What’s that?” Everyone looked curiously at the giant fellow with incredulous eyes.

“A ballista! This guy actually got a ballista blueprint and even succeeded in building it! No wonder he wanted so many ores from the big guilds. God Slayer Alliance is so doomed…” The leader of the All-Knowing Sect, Bai Xiaosheng, exclaimed in shock.

“Guys, wait to beat the dog while it’s down.” Towards the suspicion from the rest of God Familia, Fatty only laughed and took out a bolt. “I only have twenty bolts. Remember to help me retrieve them in a while.”

“Wait a mo’, let us construct some traps first.” HeadofGod felt a shiver down his spine. Apparently, he knew full well what this was.

“What are they doing?” A player had reported the situation outside to God Slayer. The members of God Slayer Alliance looked back at their towering parapet and were seriously confused why God Familia was constructing traps.

“What, they want to imprison us with traps or something?” God Slayer revealed a cold smile. “Everyone, pay attention. Don’t let their tricks get to you. Pay close attention to your responsible area.”

The huge mass of the Plenilune Ballista simply couldn’t be hidden by the grass. However, the God Slayer Alliance still weren’t aware yet that this new fellow was a ballista. They simply thought it was a pet or something.

“Guys, watch closely.” Fatty adjusted the ballista, then pressed the mechanism.

Creak… BZZZ! A buzz zoomed past TheFugitive’s ear. He hadn't even reacted when the black streak screamed towards the Sand Wall.

BOOM!

With a thunderous sound, a three-meter-tall gap appeared on the earth parapet. Moreover, the bolt had completely pierced through and nailed an archer to the wall.

A feature of the Plenilune Ballista: 100% attack increase when used in wall siege.

Clamour…! The onlookers were in an uproar. What kind of weapon is this? How can it be so formidable?!

“Ballista! That’s a ballista!” Someone roared.

Creak… Fatty adjusted the ballista a little, then loaded another bolt, aiming right at the opening.

Twang! Amidst the ballista’s growling, the bolt flew through the gap, pierced through a knight’s shield and skewered five players before finally falling to the ground.
