Chapter 516: Defeating Moonkiss (2/2)
Victory! As I was transferred out of the arena, I saw my points rise dramatically. I had now reached rank 172. Hah, just killing Moonkiss once had caused me to jump over twenty ranks! This wasn’t bad at all!
Alright, it was time to continue battling!
Ding~!
System Notice: Hello, you have been successfully matched with player “Tempest Shadow”! The battle will commence in 5 seconds!
……
Hahaha, Tempest Shadow was ranked 75 on the leaderboard and I was lucky enough to meet him! This was great! Ah, but this punk was really unlucky to meet me today, it was time for him to deliver his points to me!
Woosh!
Tempest Shadow’s face went ashen when he appeared inside the arena. It was extremely clear that I was an opponent he never wanted to meet in the arena. The moment he matched up against me, he knew that he was going to lose a lot of points and his hard-earned rank would also drastically drop because of this.
I rested the Heaven-stealing Sword against my shoulders as I grinned and said, “War God Tempest Shadow, it’s been a long time! Has everything been good with you?”
The muscles on Tempest Shadow’s face spasmed violently before he replied, “Lu Chen, aren’t you doing quite well for yourself in Sky City? After seeing how arrogant you’ve become, it’s quite clear that Candle Dragon should visit Sky City once and bathe your Dark Moon City in blood. We’ll let you know what a true number one guild looks like!”
“Cut the crap and face me! I’m short on time!”
I brandished the Heaven-stealing Sword as I suddenly started barrelling towards him. As a magic knight, Tempest Shadow was able to summon his mount into battle. He immediately swung his body up onto the back of a battle wolf, causing all of his stats to rise dramatically. Furthermore, Tempest Shadow’s Famous General Skill was Resolute and it had raised a player’s attack by 25%. Right now, it was raising his attack by 71%, so it wasn’t bad at all. It was just a little inferior to my Martial God right now. My advantage in this match was my high attack power, while his advantage was high HP and Defense.
Both of us swung our weapons the instant we shot past one another. My longsword had swept across his neck while the tip of his iron spear slammed into my arm. Wow, that really hurt! This punk’s Attack was high enough to break my Defense.
8810!
5221!
After the first exchange of blows, I saw that Tempest Shadow still had over 70% of his HP left even after being dealt nearly 9000 damage. This doofus had a total HP pool of at least thirty thousand hitpoints.
“Heh!”
Tempest Shadow grinned as he raised his arm into the air. Green energy instantly started shrouding his body and his HP bar started filling up rapidly! This was one of the magic knight’s signature skills, War God Recovery, which would heal the user for 100% of their HP over the next 60 seconds!
A drawn-out battle was absolutely disadvantageous for me. I had to get rid of him quickly!
Tempest Shadow looked like he didn’t want to waste any time either. He charged towards me with his spear raised. His spear swept towards me and when I parried it, this punk’s eyes suddenly lit up with satisfaction and delight. His spear suddenly started to whistle as a spiral of energy that looked like burning flames shot towards me! He had actually used Barrier Break!
Bloody fucking hell, Candlelight Shadow had definitely helped the CGL Hall of Famers in Candle Dragon learn that skill!
Pcchhht!
A deep, sharp pain radiated out from my chest. This Barrier Break had caused his spear to sink straight into my chest and a huge damage number flew up above my head. 14890!
Holy shit! I only had about 21000 HP right now, so I definitely couldn’t compete with Tempest Shadow on this front. But I didn’t panic, because the truth of the matter was that the moment Tempest Shadow hit me with that Barrier Break, he had already become a dead man!
Thunk!
My arm shoved aside his long spear with a soft thud, and Tempest Shadow was now completely open to my counterattack! His eyes widened in shock and fear as they shot towards my Heaven-Stealing Sword. An indigo energy that resembled raging flames was swirling around its tip and the entire sword was shrouded in burning red flames. This was clearly a skill combo —— Universe Break + Burning Blade Slash!
17849!
6789!
8010!
12842!
All four attacks hit him dead-on! Tempest Shadow’s mechanical control was far inferior to Candelight Shadow’s. In fact, he might not even be a match for Li Chengfeng or Purple Marquis in this regard. He was at about the same level as Moonkiss when it came to mechanical skill. As a result, he wasn’t able to dodge a single one of my lightning-quick strikes. As the damage quickly piled up, he knew that not even a health potion could save him!
Woosh!
I left the arena in victory, my rank flying up once again!
I didn’t meet any truly tough opponents over the next few matches. The only competent ones I was matched against were players like Dominating Arrow God, Night Sorrow, Hero In A Dream, and Familiar Scent. By the time the clock struck 5, I had finally made it into the top 20! My current rank was 14 and I had kept my unbeaten streak all the way to the top!
There was no time to relax! I had to continue because I wasn’t more than two victories away from entering the top 10 ranking!
By this time, Dominating Knight God had long since been kicked out of his top ten spot. Only the heavens knew how many people had trampled over him during this process...
Ding~!
System Notice: Hello, you have been successfully matched with player “Luo River God of the Capital”! The battle will commence in 5 seconds!
……
I was stunned when I saw the system notice. Did it really match me against Luo River God of the Capital? Hahaha, my luck wasn’t bad! Right now, Luo River God of the Capital was ranked second on the champion arena rankings, so if I could defeat her, I would earn a lot of points. I couldn’t help but grin when I thought of that.
Woosh!
