Chapter 237 – A Draw? (1/2)
Unexpectedly being able to devour God power, not only was Fatty able to avert the crisis, but he also restored a part of the Elemental Skill Book. Fatty was quite satisfied with this result.
Back to the situation at hand, however, he was now in a 1 versus 40-something. It was practically impossible for God Familia to claim the final honor.
The Golden Scale players strode over in proper formation following Golden Scale TheMighty’s lead. Even though this match is a sure win, we still have to search all over for one person. The Guild Master just doesn’t want to let that Money Grubber guy off.
The Nation of Misfortune left behind quite some remnants of energy even after its disappearance. There was still some faint ashen fog drifting about the field. Relying on this, Golden Scale could sense Fatty’s location.
“Money Grubber, still not admitting defeat? Must you really leave this place by dying?” Golden Scale TheMighty shouted.
Two rules of the competition were that all tools used wouldn’t be replaced and players wouldn’t lose levels upon death. However, to exit the battlefield by being killed was too much of a face-slapping experience.
Fatty pouted and went through his inventory.
Farming at the Holy Spirit Island for over a month, Fatty had acquired a great deal of superb items, the majority of which had level requirements that he hadn’t reached. However, some could be used right now.
Holy Descent
Advanced Light Scroll
Summon a pack of Holy Unicorns to attack the opponent. The number of unicorns summoned is half the user’s level. Their levels are 10 levels lower than the user and cannot exceed 60.
Duration: 30 minutes, or until annihilated by the opponent.
Shadow Puppet
Advanced Dark Scroll
Summon 30 level 55 Shadow Puppets to attack the opponent.
Duration: 30 minutes, or until annihilated by the opponent.
These two scrolls were the more precious ones among the loot. Their combined worth in the market should be around one million gold coins.
The champion rewards were but five million gold coins plus a tool that helped in the guild’s development. From the beginning until now, putting aside everything else, just God of Ice’s Fury and these two scrolls were already worth over four million gold coins. Fatty figured that this wasn’t a cost-effective business.
However, this was no longer a matter of money anymore. The Number 1 Guild Under Heaven title couldn’t be measured or bought with money.
Gently tearing the scrolls, Fatty tossed them out and watched as a pack of pure white unicorns and a group of undersized puppets with distorted faces appear from thin air in front of him.
“Kill!” Fatty growled. The pack of Holy Unicorns flew up and headed towards the Golden Scale party. With slight body shakes, the Shadow Puppets disappeared in the wind. Surprisingly, these puppets were classed as Rogues.
“What are those?” The Golden Scale players all looked up and saw a herd of monsters flying over.
“Holy Unicorns?” Golden Scale TheMighty lifted his arm, about to order his people to evade, when his face abruptly changed. “Watch out for the surroundings!”
Pff!
Pff!
The Shadow Puppets attacked a dozen or so players, at least five of which were insta-killed.
“F*ck! Summon Scrolls!” Golden Scale TheMighty immediately knew the source of these monsters.
“At least one million gold coins.” Fierce Dragon TheTalent put up one finger.
“Dang. If we don’t claim the championship this time, it’d be a huge loss.” HeadofGod gave a pained smile, but was inwardly very moved. Honestly speaking, whether or not God Familia could claim the championship shouldn’t be much of Fatty’s concern, so the fact that Fatty used those two scrolls meant that he truly considered God Familia his friends.
Holy Unicorns in the sky and stealthing Shadow Puppets on the ground in a surprise wave of attacks temporarily sent the Golden Scale players into a mess.
However, after losing about fifteen people, the Golden Scale Guild finally reorganized and started dealing with the monsters.
Golden Scale TheMighty was infuriated. Unexpected things kept happening when it should have been a sure win situation.
The number of monsters wasn’t many, only over fifty or so. Their levels weren’t high either, the highest were the level 55 Shadow Puppets. After the Golden Scale party calmed down and arranged an effective counter-attack, they spent ten-odd minutes to wipe out the monsters at the cost of another dozen members.
These casualties weren’t caused by the monsters, but by Fatty’s ballista. Golden Scale TheMighty’s fury at Fatty went up another level because of this.
Looking at the remaining twenty-odd subordinates, Golden Scale TheMighty was rendered speechless. The enemy had only used two scrolls to kill off more than half of his men.
Golden Scale TheMighty actually had some summon scrolls in his possession as well. However, in this situation when it was already many versus one, those scrolls made no difference at all.
“Look sharp! Follow me! I refuse to believe that we can’t kill him!”
Golden Scale TheMighty was thoroughly enraged now. He disregarded everything and led his people towards Fatty’s direction.
“Watch out, Guild Master! Upfront…” a player behind Golden Scale TheMighty didn’t even finish when several ivy tendrils coiled around their guild master with a whoosh. The spikes on the tendrils viciously penetrated his body.
“Traps!” Golden Scale TheMighty lamented in his heart. How could I be so blind and make such a retarded mistake…
Zoom! Seizing the chance when Golden Scale TheMighty was trapped, a bolt streaked like lightning at his chest. Golden Scale TheMighty still remained clear-headed despite the surprise and tried his best to wiggle to the side.
Fwish! The bolt zoomed past, barely grazing him and only left a mark on his armor. Seeing this, Fatty pocketed the ballista. This weapon wasn’t very convenient when there were few enemies left.
Nearly having been killed, Golden Scale TheMighty calmed down and reminded himself that this was a competition, and taking the championship was the number one priority. He commanded his subordinates to build up a defense on the spot, then simply sat down in a ‘keep hiding all you want, I’m in no hurry’ manner.
Realizing Golden Scale TheMighty’s attitude, Fatty revealed a pained smile. You aren’t in a hurry, but Lord Fatty is! Lord Fatty just spent a million gold coins on you, if my team doesn’t get the championship, it will all go down the drain!
At this moment, the Golden Scale party had nineteen members left including Golden Scale TheMighty. There was less than ten minutes left of the match. This wasn’t just urgent, it was super urgent.
The onlookers all held their breath and waited to see if Fatty still had any tricks up his sleeve left, or maybe he’d throw out some more scrolls.
Calling out the Earth Dragon and his two pets, Fatty took a deep breath and got ready for a brawl.
“What, not hiding anymore?” Seeing Fatty approach on the Earth Dragon, Golden Scale TheMighty snorted coldly and stood up.
“Everyone, ready…” Golden Scale TheMighty raised his right hand up high.
“Fire!”
Eighteen players, including the priests, locked on Fatty as their target and attacked all at once.
Whoosh! Fatty instantly vanished. The Earth Dragon roared and raced at the opponents with thunderous steps.
BOOM BOOM BOOM! Schzoom! Whoosh!
All sorts of skills soared in various, colorful lights. Per Fatty’s order, the Earth Dragon forced its way to the eighteen people attacking and dropped all of its skills onto them.
The Earth Dragon was a Yao monster after all. Even though it only killed one player, the majority of the others were left with little health.
Hoo. After two waves of attacks, the Earth Dragon vanished. Fatty was knocked out of his mounted state and was unable to summon it again before the match ended.
Bam! Inky appeared mid-air and killed one player with an Electric Bolt. Then, it speedily flew forth to avoid becoming a still target for the Golden Scale players.
“AHHHHH!” A wretched scream resounded. Wheat had shot out from underground and bit on a player’s neck, directly biting him to death, before quickly fleeing back underground.
In one clash, Fatty lost the Earth Dragon, while the Golden Scale Guild lost two players. It was hard to tell who gained the upper hand, but an undeniable truth was that Fatty was still disadvantaged.
“Let me see if you still have any Earth Dragons left,” Golden Scale TheMighty said between gritted teeth.
