Chapter 237 – A Draw? (2/2)
“Eight minutes, sixteen people.” Inside the secluded dimension, Fatty calculated and knitted his brows.
Whoosh! A crossbow bolt shot down a half-health mage. Fatty instantly disappeared with Earthwalk.
Now there was only one use left of the Elemental Movement Art.
“Fifteen.” Reappearing at a distance, Fatty didn’t flee and just stood there.
“Don’t give chase.” Golden Scale TheMighty waved his hand dismissively with a cold smile on his face. “We don’t need to do anything, he will come to us himself.”
The fifteen Golden Scale players stationed randomly with Golden Scale TheMighty at the center and quietly waited for time to pass.
Fatty opened the Elemental Skill Book. Several dozen spells were recorded inside, the fruits of Fatty’s entire day of labor.
Knowing that the audience outside could see everything in the field, Fatty covered up a little and quietly cast a skill called Mist.
A mist gradually appeared and expanded until it covered the vicinity of several hundred meters like a dense morning fog. Even if a person stood only a few meters outside the fog, they still wouldn’t be able to make out the situation inside.
“Stay close to one another. Attack anything that you think is a threat.”
Saying so, Golden Scale TheMighty led his team to one side in a defensive formation, then ordered the wind mages to disperse the fog. He was certain that since they couldn’t see Fatty, Fatty couldn’t see them either, and the main thing they needed to guard against was the ballista. As long as they weren’t so unlucky to be shot by it, there would be no danger at all.
“Who says Lord Fatty can’t see?” Fatty took out the X-Ray Mirror. In a white light, the Golden Scale party appeared in the mirror.
BZZZ! The bolt came screaming in front of Golden Scale TheMighty’s horrified eyes, skewering six players before nailing them to a tree.
Out of the six players impaled, five died and one was injured.
The Golden Scale party fell into chaos again. For the second time, Golden Scale TheMighty led his subordinates over ten meters to the side, and at the same time, he ordered the wind mages to hurry and disperse the mist.
BZZZZ! A second bolt was unleashed. It killed three people.
“Damn it! He can see us!”
Fortunately for him, the mist was finally dispersed after that bolt. Golden Scale TheMighty could see the faraway Fatty hastily adjusting the Plenilune Ballista.
“Damn him! Pounce!”
Golden Scale TheMighty didn’t know how Fatty created the mist, but he knew very clearly that if what had happened repeated one more time, his people would all be shot dead.
“Wheat, stop them!”
Fatty shouted urgently. He couldn’t take the opponent head-on because time just didn’t allow it.
Boom! The first attack at Fatty was a fire dragon. The over ten-meter tall, fiery and billowing beast smashed down towards him.
Firewalk. The instant the fire dragon was about to touch his body, Fatty squinted and used the last of his Elemental Movement Art.
Puff! Fatty sliced the throat of the fire mage who just cast Fire Dragon Break then flashed to the side. Even in his death, the mage couldn’t figure out how the enemy could just appear at the tail end of his fire dragon.
A patch of mire suddenly appeared next to Fatty. It was Wheat’s Mire Trap, to help him block attacks from the side. In the sky, Inky cast Mental Breakdown and knocked away another player who intended to sneak up on its master. Therefore, Fatty only needed to deal with two people for now.
Critical Strike + Paralyze + Assassinate + Shadow Kill + crossbow attack…
Using his skills in succession, Fatty’s face twisted with ferocity. He was putting his life on the line.
Reckless Blow!
After slaying a player, Fatty swallowed a red pill and cast Reckless Blow to finish off the other one. Now, the Golden Scale party only had four members left.
Three minutes until the match ended.
“Kill!” Wheat petrified one and Inky held back one, as the remaining two pounced at Fatty altogether.
Filling up his health, Fatty quickly leaped past the Mire Trap towards the petrified player.
This player was quite an unfortunate fellow. He still stood there frozen at a loss ever since Wheat petrified him.
In front of the player’s terrified eyes, Fatty smoothly cast several skills and efficiently finished him off. Behind, Golden Scale TheMighty and the other two were fast approaching.
“Kahhh!” With an ear-piercing shriek, Inky was killed.
Wheat had been chased underground by the opponents’ pets, so it couldn’t be relied on anymore.
“Money Grubber, you’re good, you’re really good.” Golden Scale TheMighty smiled at the peak of his rage. How could he not rage when his sure win had fallen to this state?
The three surrounded Fatty, each slightly waved the weapon in hand and glared at him with deep hatred.
“This… erm… let’s negotiate?” Fatty suddenly said.
“Negotiate? What’s there to negotiate?” Golden Scale TheMighty gave a chilling smile. “Let’s negotiate after I kill you.”
“Wheat!” Fatty suddenly shouted loudly. Wheat shot out and blocked Golden Scale TheMighty.
“Damn rat!” Golden Scale TheMighty pointed a finger. That creepy pet of his, the three-eyed anaconda, speedily slithered out and entangled Wheat.
Clank clank! Fatty brandished his Elemental Sword and fought with the other two players.
Both sides were experts. They were all very adept with their skills. In the middle of the fight, Fatty took two hits but successfully paralyzed one person.
“Mire Trap.” While moving, Fatty used his equipment to cover the Elemental Skill Book and pointed at the ground. Instantly, a huge mire emerged.
Golden Scale TheMighty was stopped on the other side of the mire.
“F*ck!” Golden Scale TheMighty pocketed his magic staff. A golden great bow appeared in his hand, and all his gear also changed into that of an archer.
Raising his bow and nocking the arrow, Golden Scale TheMighty’s expression grew stern as he aimed at Fatty’s back.
“Die!” Fatty quickly replaced the skill book in hand with the God Slayer Crossbow. He fired a bolt and slashed with his sword, killing the paralyzed player.
At this moment, his health was less than a third.
“You can die as well!” The other player, a knight, pounced at him in a crazy manner. He slammed his shield at Fatty.
Bzzz… The sound of an arrow being released resonated from behind. Fatty’s heart skipped a beat. Deciding not to dodge, he gritted his teeth and targeted the knight.
Puff! The moment Golden Scale TheMighty’s arrow penetrated through his back, Fatty also lodged a bolt into the knight’s throat. At the same time, Fatty was knocked up to the sky by the guy’s shield before falling into the mire.
Ba-thud. Fatty and the knight simultaneously died.
“Still, we lost.” HeadofGod let out a long sigh. It was hard to describe what he was feeling right now.
A sense of loss and bitterness, but also a hint of delight.
Ding.
Several dozen seconds after Fatty fell into the marsh, every player heard the signature sound of the system notification.
“The Guild category finals of First Under Heaven Tournament between God Familia and Golden Scale Guild is a draw.”
