Chapter 407: Struggling Against Dragon God Temple (2/2)
The moment an opening appeared in the enemy formation, Beiming Xue immediately changed directions and hit Painting Of My Country with a sharp Shock Arrow. Once he was stunned, she shouted inside the party channel. ”Big bro, let’s kill him together!”
She didn’t need to tell me twice. I charged him and hit his head in a Pardon + Desperate Gambit + basic attack combo—
MISS!
6403!
2984!
Beiming Xue also fired a Devil Piercing Arrow that exploded across Painting Of My Country’s chest and dealt ridiculous 4294 damage. Painting Of My Country was powerful, but there was no way he could withstand our combined attack. He let out a groan of pain and died where he stood!
However, while we were dealing with Painting Of My Country, In the Name of the War God had successfully shaken off He Yi and charged toward Beiming Xue. He abruptly plunged his spear into her soft shoulder!
3905!
3467!
It was only a double hit, but being the paper class she was, Beiming Xue had no chance of surviving. Death came so swiftly that even Murong Mingyue failed to heal Beiming Xue in time!
That was yet another thing we failed to realize before it was too late—we had no idea In the Name of the War God’s Attack was this high!
”Eve, stall him!” I shouted.
He Yi stood in front of Murong Mingyue and launched a Flame Thrust at In the Name of the War God, deleting a chunk of his HP.
I charged toward Water Dragon Roar, ignored the magic spells erupting across my body and threw a Dragon Slaying Slash at him!
Thud!
784!
The Dragon Slaying Slash greatly distorted Water Dragon Roar’s Magic Shield and dealt a tiny amount of damage. Before the mage could react, I fired another Thousand Ice Slash!
Boom!
This time, his Magic Shield shattered completely and deleted nearly all of his health!
The enemy priest hurriedly raised his scepter and healed his teammate, but even at full health, Water Dragon Roar only had 4000+ HP. With his level of Defense, there was no way he could take even a single hit from me.
A draconic roar entered my ears as Water Dragon Roar used Dragon’s Roar again. Dragon’s Roar was a Level 100 single-target mage skill that was practically unbeatable at the current stage of the game, but it was so rare that 99.99% of the mages out there didn’t have it yet. Unfortunately, our opponent was one of that 0.01%.
Boom!
The giant dragon descended from the sky, and I had nowhere to run. So I steeled my mind and charged straight toward Water Dragon Roar!
3478!
It was as deadly as I expected it to be. My Magic Resist was slightly higher than Li Chengfeng’s, but not by much. The spell still dealt huge damage to me. Dragon God Temple’s offensive power was seriously incredible!
Pu!
I plunged the Heaven-stealing Sword through the mage’s chest and finally ended his life.
Only two enemy players left. I ignored the priest, Silent Wind and Rain and went after In the Name of the War God first!
Murong Mingyue had almost no health at this point, and I turned around just in time to see her being killed by the enemy magic knight. At the same time, He Yi hit him and put him to red health!
I fired a Dragon Slaying Slash from where I stood!
”Ah?!”
In the Name of the War God watched the cyan energy blade flying toward his head and knew he was about to die!
4194!
The magic knight dropped to his knees and perished as well.
I turned around and annihilated Silent Wind and Rain in a couple of slashes. The round was finally ours!
But He Yi and I couldn’t help but exchange a bitter smile with each other. None of us had expected this battle to be this close, so close that only He Yi and I were the only ones alive at the end of it. This was a small victory at best!
Swhoosh!
We were teleported back to the competition space. For now, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls led 1-0 over its opponent.
……
At the competition space, Li Chengfeng said seriously, ”I was careless. I wasn’t expecting to be counter-charged by Painting Of My Country. But even if we ignore my blunder, there’s no denying that Painting Of My Country and In the Name of the War God’s attack power is insane. This really is a national tournament, isn’t it? These people are even harder to deal with than Warsky Alliance’s core players.”
I smiled. ”Yeah. Still, Farewell Song is probably a greater threat if he fights you one on one in his best condition. Never let your guard down around that assassin.”
”Yeah, I know!”
……
He Yi said, ”The second round is about to begin. By the way, can you guys hear the crowd cheering? I wonder who they’re cheering for…”
”Who cares? All I want is for us to win!”
”Yeah!”
A minute later, we were teleported back into the ring. We waited patiently for the countdown to begin anew.
3!
2!
1!
Fight!
……
This time, both Li Chengfeng and I targeted a different player. I attacked Painting Of My Country, he attacked In the Name of the War God, and He Yi went after the two mages. Murong Mingyue stayed at the back to heal me and Li Chengfeng. The enemy fighters—especially the soulfire warrior, Painting Of My Country—possessed tremendous explosive power, so we needed to deal with him as soon as possible. The enemy mages were strong too, but they lacked the power to one-shot the tanky He Yi immediately!
Crack crack crack!
