Chapter 236 – Elements vs. Misfortune; Replica (1/2)
No one could have expected that Golden Scale TheMighty still had such a trump card reserved. That move could rival God of Ice’s Fury that HeadofGod used in the semi-finals. At the current stage of the game, these skills were pretty much BUG level. Compared to them, the God Slayer Alliance’s World of Ice and Snow was like an infant.
While everyone could tell that Golden Scale TheMighty wasn’t going to hold out for long, they also didn’t think God Familia would persevere until that moment.
In just several minutes, God Familia already lost two members. If this went on, the match would end in less than ten minutes.
“Of course, they wouldn’t have made it to the finals without some real talent.” Fatty wasn’t too surprised. He pondered hard for a countermeasure.
At this moment, all of the Golden Scale members had surrounded Golden Scale TheMighty inside several layers of protection so that the bolts wouldn’t be able to reach him.
Moreover, Golden Scale TheMighty didn’t give Fatty any time to adjust the ballista. Fatty had to face much more ashen lights from the gray sun than the rest. If it weren’t that he could resort to the Movement Art during a crisis, he would have already been killed.
Fatty wanted to Earthwalk to Golden Scale TheMighty and kill him, but the opponent’s defense was too truly too tight. The earth mages constantly overturned the soil around, giving Fatty no openings to take advantage of.
“Hahaha, you think that God’s legacy is but a mere support class? Today, I will help you frogs in the well open your eyes. Oh, and you know what, this power that doesn’t even amount to 0.00000001% of the strength of the God of Misfortune!” Golden Scale TheMighty shouted hysterically.
In fact, Golden Scale TheMighty still felt very unwilling to utilize the Power of the Nation just to deal with thirteen people. He originally planned to use this move in the World Tournament’s Guild competition.
Every skill, no matter how high-ranked, possessed certain flaws. Once others figured out those flaws, the effectiveness of the skill would be lessened the next time it was used.
“Damn it! If we still had God of Ice’s Fury…” HeadofGod felt terribly stifled.
The ashen lights carried a sliver of God power. That kind of power in nature was in an entirely different level from that of the players. It simply couldn’t be stopped, only evaded.
In addition, misfortune was inflicted again when these ashen lights successfully hit their targets. Coupled with a hint of God power, this misfortune was impossible to be dispelled with Holy Light Illumines All.
Whoosh!
The ground at Fatty’s feet suddenly turned into a patch of swampland. Fatty misstepped and nearly got tripped. Right then, an ashen beam pierced through the air towards him.
Earthwalk. Out of options, Fatty escaped using Earthwalk again. The beam landed on the ground, leaving a deep finger-sized pit.
“So this is the power of God?” The players in the audience and the players watching the live-stream everywhere in the game were all shaken by this type of attack.
“God’s power is omnipresent!”
Golden Scale TheMighty roared. The gray sun gradually darkened and shot out more and more beams like a rain of dancing bullets, forcing Fatty to repeatedly use the Elemental Movement Art.
“Not good, only two uses left!” Fatty exclaimed in shock. Dodging a beam, he brainstormed for a way to break the opponent’s move. So far, God Familia had lost nine people already.
“God power, God power… That’s right! God power!”
It suddenly dawned on Fatty. He hastily took out the Elemental Skill Book.
“I’m just gonna take this risk!”
Whoosh!
An ashen beam descended at lightning speed. Fatty nimbly moved and held up the book to receive the beam.
Pfff.
A small snapping sound echoed. The beam exploded into gray fog on the surface of the Elemental Skill Book and was absorbed.
“Alright!” Fatty was overjoyed. He no longer dodged, and instead took the initiative to welcome the beams.
Another ashen light exploded upon collision with the Elemental Skill Book. After absorbing several beams, the book’s ancient, rusty cover finally revealed a hint of color.
Pffff!
Another person died. God Familia only had HeadofGod, TheFugitive, and Fatty still standing.
In contrast to HeadofGod and TheFugitive dodging constantly with their lives on the line, Fatty’s actions startled a great number of onlookers.
“What is he doing?” Not only the players outside, but even Golden Scale TheMighty began to feel unsettled.
Pff! Pff! More and more ashen beams targeted Fatty, who disregarded everything else to absorb them with the raised Elemental Skill Book. Each beam contained only a tiny bit of God power, but with more beams absorbed, the amount accumulated naturally increased.
The Elemental Skill Book suddenly emitted a gentle halo. The God power obviously was much more effective in restoring the book than all of the elemental equipment that Fatty had gathered.
The unsettled feeling weighed more and more heavily in Golden Scale TheMighty’s heart. Even though extremely faint, he could sense the Nation’s power getting weaker.
He couldn’t deploy the Nation of Misfortune with his own ability and had to draw from the little God-tier power left in the Nation. Originally, no matter how much power was used, it would all come back to the Nation in the end. However, now that the Elemental Skill Book was stealing it, this power naturally was sapped away.
“Kekeke…” Resounding laughter echoed right by Fatty’s ear. Surprisingly, Wu Junxiao’s mark of consciousness was up and about again.
