Chapter 84: To Conquer

Translator: Double_LEditor: Tehrn

The referee was delegated by the Referee Association, it could be either an IPA or a TPA player who had received professional training.

The match begun!

Solitary Snow was showing a serious expression, he had never been this serious in a fight before. Even though he had the advantages with his METAL Suit, he wanted to treat this opportunity seriously.

This was his first time fighting a strong TPA fighter.

“Deploy!”

Rays of light shot out as the Golden Marksman began to cover Solitary Snow’s body, the coverage was more than 90% and also came with a unique Golden Bow, it was definitely a legendary METAL Suit.

The crowd remained silent, for the first time no one cheered and whistled when they saw an amazing METAL Suit, it wasn’t important anymore as their expectations were more into the match itself.

The IPA players took this match in a serious manner, the TPA players, on the other hand, were looking very disappointed.

The crowd’s attention turned to Einherjar Wannabe as they were expecting him to deploy his METAL Suit too, even if it was only a Level 1 Suit, it was his only chance to enhance his own defense.

But Einherjar Wannabe did nothing; apparently, he had no METAL Suit!

In fact, Wang Tong had no idea how to obtain his TPA METAL Suit.

Solitary Snow didn’t say a word as he channeled his Soul Energy, which was weird because he used to be very talkative in his previous matches; however, he knew actions would speak louder than words in a situation like this.

Solitary Snow’s body was overflown with golden rays of Soul Energy, then he wielded his golden bow and forged arrows which were made out of his Soul Energy.

The fight began!

Swoosh…

Solitary Snow fired a flashing arrow toward Einherjar Wannabe, not many METAL fighters were able to wield ranged weapons, these weapons were capable of significantly increasing their lethality; the Golden Marksman was the best equipment amongst ranged weapon series.

Wang Tong immediately angled his body and dodged Solitary Snow’s golden arrow with the reflex of a jaguar.

However, it didn’t startle Solitary Snow as that was only his warning shot to test out Einherjar Wannabe’s strength. He would have really been disappointed if his opponent couldn’t even dodge that.

At this point, Solitary Snow saw himself as a warrior. His style of fighting had become different to how he fought previously with IPA players.

He aimed the golden arrows again and shot with a burst of Soul Energy. The arrows flew toward Wang Tong in a triangular formation. On the other hand, Wang Tong began to respond, he wanted to see if Solitary Snow was a strong opponent worth fighting for, if that METAL Suit was only capable of performing ranged attacks, then it would be boring and meaningless.

Most of the fighters had problems about dodging ranged attacks, but Wang Tong wasn’t surprised at all because of his experiences dealing with a species of Zergs that were specialized in ambushing enemies with dart-like pins, it made Wang Tong shivered as he remembered how disgusting those creatures were.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Wang Tong dodged the arrows perfectly, and Solitary Snow began to move as well, a professional archer would not fire his arrows in the same position only, a high ranked fighter like him would never make such rookie mistakes.

Somehow, Solitary Snow didn’t worry about Wang Tong dashing toward him, he swiftly moved and widen their distance, then rapidly fired his arrows toward Wang Tong. People might be wondering if his Soul Energy would dry out, but he had tricks up his sleeves which allowed him to regain Soul Energy during the fight.

The archer’s attack got more and more intense as their distance shrunk closer and closer. Solitary Snow might not be a fighter in reality, but he had spent a lot of time in the world of IPA and has already participated in countless battles, which also qualified him as an experienced fighter. Moreover, IPA fighters were not as held back as TPA fighters, their imaginations were not restrained, they could do anything as they pleased and would often create unthinkable battle methods to achieve the best outcome.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Solitary Snow fired two arrows in a jiff and warded off the approaching Wang Tong. He knew what his opponents were thinking, everyone he fought had the same idea of closing the gap to finish him off with hand-to-hand combat.

But of course, he wouldn’t let that happen.

Yet Wang Tong carried on to narrow down their gap, he was having a tough time deciphering the pattern of Solitary Snow’s rapid fire, but he knew it wasn’t impossible since everyone has a habit of doing something, all he needed was a bit more pressure.

Nine shots were fired, and Solitary Snow realized their distance was still getting closer, every single shot looked like a hit, but for some reason, Einherjar Wannabe was able to dodge them and even moved closer. In other words, his opponent’s judgment was getting stronger as the distance got closer, it made Solitary Snow very excited!

He had been waiting for the arrival of this day, everyone who failed their Mind Opening Operation dreamed of being able to participate in fights like this, including himself.

Unlike Wang Ben, he knew he would fail no matter how many times he tried again. All he wanted was a chance for his wish to come true!

This was the distance to attack!

Wang Tong immediately thrust a punch when he dodged the arrow, but Solitary Snow performed a nimble movement and negated Wang Tong’s punch!

The IPA players were getting anxious when Einherjar Wannabe was closing up the gap. They were wondering if Solitary Snow and his “glitchy” METAL Suit would be able to stand against Einherjar Wannabe’s ghastly dodges.

Wang Tong was sure that his punch would hit, but why did it miss?

Solitary Snow began moving his body in a weird rhythm and fired an arrow at the same time. Wang Tong’s instinct moved his body away as he watched the arrow skimmed across his chest. Wang Tong felt the heat instantly, it was definitely a close one.

Wang Tong came to realize that he had underestimated his opponent even though he was being careful, he thought that the IPA players would focus more on their METAL Suit’s ability, but the truth was, Suits required human itself to be utilized.

That was the Steps of the Papillon, a first class battle movements of the Ivantians.

Its elegant movement resembled a Papillon, and it was hard to be mastered; the key of this movement was not the speed, but the total control of its rhythm. The Steps of the Papillon was about making opponents off balance while not letting them catch the user off balance, it would let them stay unfocused as long as they couldn’t predict the center of gravity of the user.

The TPA players were shocked by the fact that an IPA player was able to pull off a military technique, that was unbelievable!

Even though Solitary Snow was only an ordinary person who wasn’t related to any Houses, it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t be successful. He had been putting every bit of effort and time into the Suit ever since he got his hands on it and even developed his own fighting methods!

All he wanted was to achieve his dream of becoming a fighter. Hence he came out with this golden combination: The Steps of the Papillon and the Golden Marksman!

This would be the end of Einherjar Wannabe!

The cheers from the IPA players sounded like a roaring river, they could see themselves in the shadow of Solitary Snow. They were the nobodies, the ordinary folks, and the salarymen in reality, but they all had the same dream. They felt themselves combining as one with Solitary Snow like they were fighting together against Einherjar Wannabe!
