Chapter 651 - The End of Season Two (2/2)
Isn’t this ZA WARUDO[1]?
The spacetime magic was the most difficult magic style to master. Plus, it was very dangerous. When spellcasters studied it, one slight moment of carelessness might cause them to die without even leaving a corpse behind. It required extremely high talent.
Not everyone could become the targets of Albert and those people. Lagi was not a member of any large organization-he was alone. Hence, there was only one reason that Lagi was a target.
His strength!
In this spacetime territory, Lagi was the only one that could move around freely. He cast spells continuously and destroyed all the aircrafts. This time, Getorald finally escaped the spell. Without saying a word, he turned around and fled.
His confidence was completely shattered by Lagi’s one spell. Lagi did not chase him. The mission was to rescue the Sky Ring mercenaries; he did not want to waste his energy chasing someone of the same grade. He floated toward Goa and the others, sighed, and said, “Get on my ship and let’s get out of here.”
Goa quickly nodded with respect. She could not help but ask, “Are you a new officer of the Black Star Army? I’ve never heard your name before.”
“It’s best to never hear it.” Lagi’s expression became more bitter.
The other Sky Ring mercenaries exchanged looks of shock. The Black Star Army finally had the first Calamity Grade officer, and he was so strong. Black Star did not have to carry everything on his shoulders anymore. They had a feeling that their Sky Ring Army was being surpassed by the Black Star Army.
Goa had a very complicated feeling. She still remembered a few years prior, when Black Star was just a small mercenary group. As a team captain of Sky Ring, their strength had been on par while she had the support of Sky Ring, so her position was higher than Black Star’s.
Now, however, she was still a team captain in Sky Ring, but Black Star had become someone very important in the Colton Star Cluster and rather famous even in the entire Shattered Star Ring. The difference in strength and position between the two of them had completely changed.
With Black Star as someone to compare herself to, Goa felt as if she had been standing in the same place throughout the years and felt discouraged.
At this time, on the other side of the Observer’s Mark, Han Xiao’s eyes were sparkling brightly. His fingers rubbed his stubble, and he could not help but smile.
“Looks like I’ve found a treasure…”
A few days later, the second season finally came to an end.
The eight teams in the finals had attracted the most attention from the start of the competition. All the fans were cheering and rooting for their teams.
In the first round, Dynasty defeated Rivervale, entering the semi-final, while Rivervale stopped at the top eight. This result was no surprise for almost everyone.
Long Sky defeated Kimchi 3:1, eliminating Kimchi and entering the semi-finals.
Two Chinese had entered the semi-finals, and the Chinese fans could not help but wish that the final would be between two Chinese teams.
Sadly, the results of the draw of the second round placed Dynasty against Long Sky and Devil against Tomahawk.
The Chinese players felt it was very unfortunate for Dynasty. After entering the finals, Dynasty had gone up against a Chinese team in both the first and the second round.
The second round was very intense. The peak was right ahead-neither Dynasty nor Long Sky would hold back. Many viewers were saddened by their bloody battles.
Before the match, many people thought that Dynasty had a higher chance of winning. However, the result was unexpected. Under Hao Tian’s lead, Long Sky showed extreme toughness and barely defeated Dynasty at 3:2, entering the finals.
Dynasty stopped at the top four and could only compete for second runner-up.
After the match, many reporters interviewed team Dynasty, and King Admiral had nothing to regret.
“We spent too much energy before the match. Hao Tian is my old rival. He really fought amazingly this time. I hope they can bring the championship trophy back for China. Brother, you won our match, so you’ve got to win this. Viewers, scold and swear at them as much as you can so that they don’t dare lose.”
A reporter with ulterior motives mentioned King Admiral’s words during the Regulars, wanting to give him a hard time. However, King Admiral did not mind it at all.
“I originally wanted to educate the teams of the other countries, but in the end, I was educated by my countrymen. Never mind, I lost to one of us anyway. Hao Tian, you’ve got to become the champions. At least using the excuse of us losing to the champions will not get me into so much trouble.”
All the reporters laughed, even the one that asked the question.
Very soon, it was Second Prince’s turn to be interviewed. His comments were the usual. “It’s absolutely the captain’s fault that we lost. This means that we need to have someone else as the captain. There’s no need to consider anyone else for that other than me. It’s time for King Admiral to retire. He’s already a middle-aged man-why the hell is he even still playing games?”
The interview of Dynasty was very joyful and slightly brushed off the remorse of the Chinese players. All the pressure and hope was on Long Sky.
Originally, Dynasty was the team that had the highest chance of becoming the champions. Now that Long Sky had defeated them, if they did not become the champions in the end…
However, not only was Hao Tian not panicking, his morale was very high instead.
Ever since the start of this competition, Dynasty had been the center of attention. He and Long Sky, however, had been quietly saving their energy like sharpening a sword.
In the finals, this sword unsheathed at last!
The passion and energy of everyone in Long Sky erupted all at once. They had the confidence to slash through everything before them!
Their opponents were the American team, Devil, who had defeated Sweden’s Tomahawk and entered the finals.
Devil was the second favorite of the competition right after Dynasty. They were the last obstacle between China and the world champion!
Tens of millions of players across the nine divisions were watching the final. This popularity had never been seen before.
Even Han Xiao put down what he had on his hands and watched the finals from the start to the end.
Watching the intense battle between the two teams, his emotions were fluctuating with the situation of the battle. For an instant, it was like he had returned to the younger times when he was cheering at the top of his lungs for the Chinese teams, only to end up disappointed.
In the end, the score was 3:2.
The last Devil player collapsed in the ring.
Devil had fallen.
Long Sky was still standing.
The final victory belonged to Long Sky, to China!
“World champions!”
The Chinese players were madly exhilarated.
Even in his room in Base No. 1, Han Xiao could hear the cheering outside his windows!
