Chapter 1269: The Shrewish Yang Nuo
What Sacred Mountain did not know was that a casual sentence like that actually offended so many terrifying fellas.
After losing two consecutive matches, Team A Murder Of Crows started feeling the pressure, especially after Evil Rampage’s loss.
Naturally, Fearless sent Yang Nuo out for the third match.
Kyushu Squad’s player was a Knight called ‘Autumn’s Falling Leaf’.
En! It was truly an unbridled name.
…
The IDs of the players from the Kyushu Squad were getting more unbridled one after the other. Therefore, one could imagine that their strength was in that order too.
Unsurprisingly, this fella was known as the number one Knight in the country.
Even though there were not many Knights in the game, being known as the number one of any job was still a great accomplishment.
Autumn’s Falling Leaf witnessed how strong Yang Nuo was and so he also knew that his opponent was an Archer who was proficient in close-combat. Once the match began, the first thing Autumn’s Falling Leaf did was to cover himself in a Blazing Halo.
Blazing Halo had a burning effect which could cause continuous damage to any enemy within 200 of oneself. The continuous decrease in health was one effect that all players hated especially a low-health Archer like Yang Nuo.
The Knight job was divided into Chastener and Protector.
There was a pretty huge difference between the two jobs. A Protector’s weapon could be switched around as one required and was capable of using talismans to attack enemies.
On the other hand, a Chastener could only use weapons like a long sword or a spear. Even though a Chastener would be capable of using magic skills like the Blazing Halo, its main damage output was still heavily reliant on physical attacks.
After covering himself with the halo, Autumn’s Falling Leaf swung his spear and started charging towards Yang Nuo.
If it was an ordinary player, using [Charge] as the opening skill was not an unusual move. After all, these players wouldn’t know how to manage the CD of control skills. However, it was indeed unusual for a top expert like Autumn’s Falling Leaf to use [Charge] as the opening move.
Unless this fella’s skill could have a 100% accuracy? He was indeed a top expert of a top team to have such confidence in his skills.
Of course, these were all the spectators’ guess. Autumn’s Falling Leaf was an experienced player so he would never make such a low-level mistake. The reason why he used [Charge] as the opening move was so that he could force Yang Nuo’s [Sidestep] out.
Experts like w.a.n.g Yu would be able to tell that the angle and distance in which Autumn’s Falling Leaf executed his [Charge] was precisely calculated. It was just enough to seal off Yang Nuo.
Indeed, Yang Nuo looked around to realise that she was in a dead end and [Sidestep] was the only move she could use to dodge this attack.
The moment Yang Nuo’s [Sidestep] was forced out, Autumn’s Falling Leaf smiled faintly as he executed [Total Annihilation] with his spear.
“Swoos.h.!.+”
The spear swung from left to right.
Yang Nuo had just landed from her [Sidestep] but was swept across the ankle by Autumn’s Falling Leaf’s spear as she lost her balance.
Yang Nuo was a martial artist with incredibly quick reaction speed. After losing her balance, she pressed her left hand against the ground to flip back upwards. Just like that, she was able to land right beside Autumn’s Falling Leaf.
Yang Nuo had a small and exquisite figure so she managed to execute this move perfectly. The spectators enjoyed this move thoroughly as even the cameraman couldn’t help but gave Yang Nuo a close-up.
“Impressive!”
The spectators cheered loudly at this scene.
The judgement of Autumn’s Falling Leaf’s skill was incredibly strong and it wasn’t easy for one to regain her balance after being swept on the ankle. Moreover, she was able to do so with perfect posture just like how a main character could do so in a movie. It was simply admirable.
“Ohh?”
Autumn’s Falling Leaf was surprised but quickly turned around to thrust his spear towards Yang Nuo again.
Yang Nuo dodged it by twisting her body before firing an arrow towards Autumn’s Falling Leaf, in an attempt to force him back.
Who knew that Autumn’s Falling Leaf did not try to dodge or retreat as he endured the shot from Yang Nuo. Before Yang Nuo could retract her bow, he extended his left hand to execute [Grasp of Death] to lift Yang Nuo up by her collar.
Simultaneously, the spear on Autumn’s Falling Leaf’s right hand was thrust towards Yang Nuo’s body.
At the crucial moment before Yang Nuo was about to be pierced to her death, she used all her force on her waist to kick Autumn’s Falling Leaf on his face with both her feet.
Female players were concerned about their looks so the gaming company also ensured that female equipment were suited to their tastes. For example, Yang Nuo was wearing a pair of high heels.
It was merely a game so everyone should not be too concerned about how a player with a fast moving job was allowed to wear high heels. Either way, when Autumn’s Falling Leaf saw two sharp heels aimed towards his eyes, Autumn’s Falling Leaf got a shock as he hurriedly released his hands and jumped backwards. The attack was also disrupted forcefully.
Even so, why would Yang Nuo let Autumn’s Falling Leaf off just like that? She grabbed Autumn’s Falling Leaf’s hand which was initially grabbing her and pulled him in towards her hard. Following which, his entire body flew towards her and Yang Nuo used both her legs to sandwich Autumn’s Falling Leaf’s neck in between.
“I’m so envious!!!”
Looking at their current position, the spectators were all getting excited as the eyeb.a.l.l.s of the Kyushu Squad’s players almost dropped out.
Autumn’s Falling Leaf was so useless that he heard a humming sound in his head which was shortly followed by a system notification: ‘Your nose is bleeding. Do you want to leave the game…’
Who says that whatever happens in the game cannot affect a person in real life? Look! Yang Nuo just did that!
…
Just when Autumn’s Falling Leaf was stunned, Yang Nuo took out two arrows and thrust them forward with one hand each.
“Pss.h.!.+”
The two arrows were inserted right into both Autumn’s Falling Leaf’s eye sockets.
“Ah…”
Autumn’s Falling Leaf’s devastating cries were heard.
Autumn’s Falling Leaf cried out not because of pain but because of fear. Since this was a virtual reality game, he did not feel anything in his eyes.
Because Autumn’s Falling Leaf was not expecting this, his fear was magnified.
“Hai!”
After that, Yang Nuo focused her strength on both her legs as he tossed the absent-minded Autumn’s Falling Leaf onto the ground.
Yang Nuo stepped on Autumn’s Falling Leaf’s heart and aimed her arrow at him.
Autumn’s Falling Leaf panicked as he raised his spear to protect himself.
Because of the ferocity of Autumn’s Falling Leaf’s spearmans.h.i.+p, Yang Nuo dared not stay too close to him. Therefore, she jumped back and fired from a distance.
For ordinary players, vision was an important aspect of the game. Now that Autumn’s Falling Leaf lost his vision in both eyes, how was he supposed to hit his opponent without being able to see anything? Unless he had some kind of extraordinary seventh sense?
Autumn’s Falling Leaf was indeed a top expert who performed much better than any other player under such circ.u.mstances. This fella could actually make use of the direction in which Yang Nuo shot her arrow from to deduce Yang Nuo’s position and executed his attacks in that direction.
However, Yang Nuo knew [Seven Star Steps] and when she executed that, Autumn’s Falling Leaf wouldn’t be able to hit her even with open eyes, let alone closed eyes.
After continuous attacks from Yang Nuo, Autumn’s Falling Leaf was eventually shot to death and turned into white light.
