Ch88.2 - Courage (1/2)
Medusa suddenly rushed forward. Zhou Sheng resolutely raised his shield, and with a “dang”, he resisted Medusa’s sharp claws.

“In this world.” Dark Zhou Sheng held a cup of Long Island Iced Tea, “Not everything can proceed just as one wishes, and not all wishes would come true. If most problems could merely be solved with willpower and courage alone, how could there be so much helplessness in the world?”
Yu Hao nervously watched the battle between Zhou Sheng and Medusa. He muttered, “But there are many actions that need to be taken first before knowing what the outcome will be.”
Zhou Sheng escaped to the corner of the arena. Medusa initiated a frenzied offence; the harsh blows of her sharp claws upon the shield were like a tempestuous storm. Zhou Sheng relied solely on the shield to resist them and had no chance to retaliate. The collisions against metal resounded thunderously.
His black dragon mount glared at the scene like a tiger watching its prey, but it didn’t dare advance, as if it had an innate fear of Medusa.
Zhou Sheng was clad in armour from head to toe so Yu Hao couldn’t see his expression, but he knew that he must be having a hard time enduring it. He was so nervous that he found it difficult to breathe.
Zhou Sheng, completely covered in armour, suddenly raised his hand, found an opportunity, and a long sword materialised in his hand!
That was the sword Zhou Sheng wielded while assuming “General”’s identity when he first appeared in his dream! Zhou Sheng had rarely used it since obtaining the jingubang. At this moment, the blade flashed. He made a sweeping motion with his sword as he turned, drawing an arc of light in the air.

Medusa let out a blood-curdling screech as she was sent flying. The long nails on her left hand had been cut off by the sword; blood splashed everywhere, and tendrils of greenish black smoke rose into the air when she landed.
Iron-Armoured General spun around in the air, swung his shield out, and swept through with his sword. But when Medusa landed, she gathered her energy in her tail and flicked it towards him like a bolt of lightning while brandishing her sharp claws. General instantly retreated, and his helmet was knocked away!
Yu Hao’s heart lodged in his throat.
Medusa’s eyes shot out a petrifying beam. Zhou Sheng blocked it with his shield. From the ground, a long tail knocked him down with a sweep, just as the black dragon finally lunged forward from behind Medusa. Medusa turned around, and the black dragon instantly recoiled in horror.
Zhou Sheng’s breastplate had dented from the impact. He took off his gauntlets and gloves with one hand and threw them to the ground, which fell with a clanging sound. Flexing his fingers, he shook his shield and transformed it into a jingubang. With a sword in his left hand and a jingubang in his right, he crossed them together and watched Medusa vigilantly.
Medusa revealed a ferocious smile as she slithered towards Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng roared without restraint as he rushed towards Medusa. He rolled over on the spot, brandished both his sword and the jingubang at the same time and threw her up; then he swung his sword down, and the nails on Medusa’s sharp right claws broke!
Medusa was now in mid air with her long tail rolled upside down. Before Zhou Sheng could deal a critical hit to Medusa, she had already coiled around him, and her serpent tail swung him up into the air before violently smashing him down onto the ground!
Zhou Sheng practically landed head first, and Yu Hao seemed to have heard his skull hitting the ground, so he almost stood up!
“Don’t forget that Medusa’s weapons isn’t limited to just her pair of claws.” Dark Zhou Sheng said slowly.

“I guess he doesn’t want to give up today.” Dark Zhou Sheng said, “But that’s okay. Even if he dies, there’s still me. Do you want to leave this place first?”

Yu Hao brandished his dagger and spun it between his fingers. He didn’t even spare Dark Zhou Sheng a glance.
“Jiayou……” Yu Hao said in a trembling voice, “Zhou Sheng, stand up.”
Zhou Sheng was trembling, still holding a sword in one hand and grasping the edge of his shield with the other. His armour was deformed and broken from the blows he had taken, and he was struggling to support himself.
“The victor has been decided!” Dark Zhou Sheng cried out, “Medusa, shape your spoil of war well!”
The hand Yu Hao used to grip the dagger wouldn’t stop trembling; he saw Medusa’s snake tail constrict Zhou Sheng’s throat and lift him high into the air, smiling cruelly as she widened her eyes——
“Go!” Yu Hao shouted, and his dagger whooshed towards the arena like a silver meteor. Zhou Sheng blocked with the shield in his left hand while raising his sword with his right. His blade caught the dagger in mid-air, rotated it, and threw it downwards to firmly nail Medusa’s snake tail into the ground.
Dark Zhou Sheng suddenly turned around. Yu Hao stood up and retreated, holding his other dagger in front of him horizontally.

“I didn’t break the rules.” Yu Hao said in a low voice, “Look, I didn’t participate in the fight, did I? If my totem can be passed to Zhou Sheng, then so can my strength.”
The dagger suddenly shone with a glaring light. Medusa continued to struggle as Zhou Sheng mustered all of his remaining strength to lift his shield to face the sky.
“Come……ba……I summon……all of you……”
From the huge gap in the clouds, more than ten silver flames blasted through and crashed into the ground, plunging the arena into chaos. Yu Hao spread his wings out, flying up to flee from Dark Zhou Sheng. There were more and more meteors now, and they turned into the NPC guards in Yu Hao’s dreamscape upon impact with the ground!
The trembling of the earth followed their arrival. Medusa let out a mad roar, turned around, and unleashed her petrifying gaze. The NPCs all raised their bright reflective shields one after another, then threw out hooks that wrapped around Medusa from all directions, forming a huge net.
In an instant, the glaring light jumped about in front of the shield. Yu Hao only saw a bright light shine in front of his eyes and thought to himself, crap, and immediately dodged. Dark Zhou Sheng was completely infuriated. He flipped the table; the grandstand was instantly petrified and collapsed with a loud rumble.
