Chapter 148: Lover’s Place (1/2)
Quarterfinals Round 1, Lover’s Place VS Snowy Cathaya!
Lover’s Palace was unimpeded on their way up to that point. They had an extremely strong bard and the rest of their members were similarly strong. Their chances of winning were high.
Snowy Cathaya on the other hand, was a super guild led by the Fruit Knife Goddess. Snowy Cathaya’s momentum had already overshadowed Gods of Destruction. Even though the two large-scale guilds had yet to directly battle, Gods of Destruction looked slightly worse after a few small comparisons.
After all, Fruit Knife Goddess Lin Yixin’s fame had already surpassed Dominating Heaven Blade’s. There were many people in Floating Ice City who didn’t even know who he was, but there was no one who hasn’t heard of the name “Wind Fantasy”.
Lin Yixin slowly walked over and rolled her eyes. “I’m fighting in the quarterfinals soon and you don’t have anything to say to me?”
I nodded. “Hope you win immediately...”
“...”
……
Lin Yixin rolled her eyes and took her team into the arena.
The greatly anticipated quarterfinals had officially begun!
Lin Yixin was clearly much more serious this time. She had even devised a strategic plan before the battle which was totally not in line with her random slashing around.
I nodded. “Mn, good. Lover’s Place has given Lin Yixin some pressure…”
As a man, a completely straight man, I actually hoped that the strong and domineering girl would lose. But on the other hand, I wouldn’t be able to bear her defeated expression if she really did lose. Women really were natural enemies of men. They would either conquer you or be conquered.
……
On the stage, snowflakes fluttered from the Snow Shadow Sword Lin Yixin held across her chest. Purple Marquis and Zi Chuanyu stood guard on either side of her while the long range attackers Clear Perfume and Shadow Chanel stood behind them at the ready.
The system began its countdown and the match instantly began!
Level 60 bard December Youth elegantly unleashed two buffs, Divine Valor to his leader, Yellow Springs, and Death Match to the warrior Monster.
Yellow Springs was a Level 61 warrior. He lunged over with a yell but his sword remained in place. He had been stunned by a quick Charge from Purple Marquis. I couldn’t help but acknowledge that Lin Yixin had good eyes. This Purple Marquis truly was a rare expert!
Lin Yixin swept forth, her eyes glowing with a layer of moonlight and she swung her dagger out. Moon Gaze followed up with Extreme Break!
Crack!
When the blade flashed past, Yellow Springs let out a groan and a terrifying damage number floated above his head—1745!
A one-hit kill that simply gave the opponent no chance to recover their HP!
Volley!
Bard December Youth gave out another buff, Nichang, and this time it was to the archer, increasing his critical rate by 25%!
Four consecutive shots from Flower Pinching Finger’s Volley were surprisingly critical hits. That was some dumb luck!
It was one Volley yet it had disrupted Snowy Cathaya’s battle formation. Purple Marquis and Zi Chuanyu had been pushed back by the arrows and were left with half their HP. They had to rely on drinking pots and healing to recover it.
Lin Yixin’s pretty face turned cold. She lifted her sword and charged into enemy lines with Killer Wind Swordplay, forcing Flower Pinching Finger and the mage Duanmu Xuan to fall back.
I looked at the intense battle happening on the stage and let out an involuntary sigh. Lin Yixin really was a genius. At a disadvantage, she took the matters into her own hands. The opponent used a Nichang-buffed Volley to disrupt her square formation but she relied on her own abilities to break their defense and slaughter her way into the enemy team.
Zi Chuanyu and Purple Marquis regrouped and charged forward. Clear Perfume also unleashed a Volley to support them and Shadow Chanel used Ice Dragon Howl to send Flower Pinching Finger off the stage.
However, the other team’s warrior Monster and mage Duanmu Xuan launched a joint attack of Blaze and Ice Dragon Howl on Lin Yixin!
Lin Yixin was sent off the stage amid her shock!
The Fruit Knife Goddess had been killed? This scene immediately left many stunned. Nobody dared to believe that Wind Fantasy had been killed in the quarterfinals. How was that possible?
I too was left in disbelief. My mouth fell open. I mumbled, “How’s that possible? T-the speed of that attack, Yiyi should’ve been able to dodge that…”
Gui Guzi nodded. “I’ve experienced Lin Yixin’s skills. With her advanced judgment and reaction speed, dodging those two attacks shouldn’t have been a problem…”
Beiming Xue blinked. “Then how’d she get hit?”
Du Thirteen tightened his fist. “Beauty Lin probably sacrificed herself for the win. Didn’t you see how aggressive her charge was?”
I frowned and thought to myself. This makes no sense. With Lin Yixin’s personality, even if she charged more aggressively, she still would’ve saved herself some leeway to fall back on. Something must have happened.
However, this round was still a win. Purple Marquis and Zi Chuanyu fought with all their strength while the long-range attackers controlled the field with their suppression. They didn’t bring out their priest, opting for a brute-force strategy. It wouldn’t make sense if they didn’t win!
Swhoosh!
