Chapter 381: Has to Be You (1/2)
Warsky’s face was green. He must feel like he was sleeping atop a needle bed right now. When it was just the five core experts of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, the situation was still under Warsky Alliance’s control. But they clearly lost the moment the main bulk of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls’ forces—thousands of them—arrived. There was just no way they could turn the tides with less than 400 players.
”Fuck…” Warsky cursed under his breath. ”God dammit! Why is it always like this? Why does Lady Luck never favor our side?”
October Rain advised her guild leader from the distance, ”Warsky, there’s no need to hesitate. Tell everyone to teleport back to the city so we can cut our losses now!”
Warsky was a smart man, so he nodded immediately before giving the order, ”Everyone, it’s time to withdraw. Move away from the boss and the PvP zone and teleport back to the city immediately after you’re out of combat state. I’ll stay behind and secure our retreat!”
He actually meant what he said. Warsky walked toward us alone with a stern look in his eyes.
I finally understood why Warsky was able to grow Warsky Alliance from a small guild to the extent it was. A lot of people said that Warsky was a candid, straightforward, affectionate, and true person, and so far he hadn’t betrayed his code. He might be the sworn foe of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, but he was also a respectable opponent.
At the very least, I would grant him an honorable death!
……
Gui Guzi emerged from our battle line and clashed weapons with Warsky. Warsky used an Explosion Slash to delete 3000 HP from Gui Guzi’s health bar, and Gui Guzi retaliated with a horizontal sweep that did around 2800 HP. However, Gui Guzi had the Undying Shield, his HP was over 12000, and all of his equipment had been upgraded to the Dark Gold grade. Two of them even were of the Outstanding category, so equipment-wise he was not one bit inferior to Warsky.
Gui Guzi, Xu Yang, Moonlight Stone, Moon Dew, and the rest of our core players had been grinding maps and bosses everyday, and Gui Guzi got the first pick on all metal armor equipment that increased HP. That was how the signature magic knight of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was born, and he made for a nice match with our guild leader. Our guild might not have a top-tier assassin, but we definitely had two top-tier magic knights!
Warsky continued fighting against Gui Guzi, but he wasn’t able to gain anything from his last stand. In the end, our players such as High Fighting Spirits and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun charged him and took most of his HP, leaving Chaos Moon to deal the last blow. However, Warsky didn’t lose any equipment probably because he had good karma. Though he did drop a ton of potions.
……
But Laughing At The Heavens and Farewell Song weren’t so lucky. After sacrificing a couple dozen of fighters to keep the boss busy while the rest of them retreated, Laughing At The Heavens withdrew to a corner together and exited combat state. But just as they tried to crush a return scroll and teleport back to Sky City, a cyan figure suddenly appeared and charged them!
Thud!
After Laughing At The Heavens was stunned, the cyan figure then struck Farewell Song once with his sword and forced him to enter combat state once more. He sneered, ”Not so fast, you two!”
The cyan figure was none other than our Legendary Brave. What was he doing? Was he trying to challenge two CGL Hall of Famers himself? This guy really was as fearless as his name.
It was exactly as I thought. After blocking Laughing At The Heavens’ counter attack, Legendary Brave bent his waist a little and kicked Farewell Song’s dagger. Then, he swiftly regained his balance and charged the assassin again. Furious by the interruption, Farewell Song shouted angrily, ”It’s your funeral, motherfucker!”
Clang!
He parried Legendary Brave’s sword with his left dagger and stabbed him in the chest with his right dagger. Then, he twisted his wrist and unleashed Blade Vortex!
1984!
2102!
1895!
The burst damage was great and deadly. That one skill left Li Chengfeng with only 30% HP or so.
But Li Chengfeng calmly retaliated with a straight punch to the chest that dealt 1654 damage. While the assassin was completely off-balance, he brought his sword to Farewell Song’s neck and smiled. ”I guess I expected too much from the number one assassin of Warsky Alliance...”
Puchi!
Just like that, he cut a hole in Farewell Song’s body and killed him!
Li Chengfeng grew even calmer after killing Farewell Song. He jumped to the back at the same time he spun around just in time to parry a thrust from Laughing At The Heavens Then, like a slippery loach he slipped behind the latter and used the Dragonrise skill. His longsword glowed brightly, and a draconic roar deafened the ear. A new skill exploded behind Laughing At The Heavens!
”Dragonbone Flurry!”
His cyan sword transformed into a sharp dragon bone, and he hit Laughing At The Heavens three times in a row. The damage he dealt was positively insane—
2984!
2877!
3018!
……
Laughing At The Heavens himself was completely dumbfounded by the damage he took. Utterly depressed, he collapsed to his knees right in front of the mighty dragon warrior. He never thought that he and Farewell Song would lose this horribly despite this being a 2 on 1 battle. There was basically nothing they could do at all.
”Fuck…” Xu Yang swore under his breath. ”Brave is so strong! He’s probably at the same level as Lu Chen now, isn’t he?”
He Yi smiled but said nothing.
Chaos Moon shook her head before explaining, ”Not exactly. You need to remember that outside factors matter as well. Warsky Alliance just suffered a terrible defeat, and Warsky was killed. How do you expect them to focus when even the heart of their guild is gone? Of course, Legendary Brave is undeniably powerful, but he definitely took advantage of his opponents’ moment of weakness as well.”
