Chapter 1288: Dealing With The Opponent’s Gundam
After merely a couple of exchanges, both teams had both lost two members of their squad. Even though it may look as if it was an equal outcome, the reality was far from that.
Team A Murder of Crows had never intended to fight head-on with the Kyushu Squad. Thus, Spring Halo’s control abilities in this fight weren’t especially important. Additionally, the end goal of the strategy this time around was to flank the enemy on all sides, which everyone had already achieved at this point. Thus, Fearless’ role in planning the battle had already been achieved the moment he gave his last order.
However, the Kyushu Squad were on the defense this time around, and thus the Tanks were the most important. Now that Omnidirectional and All Encompa.s.sing had both lost their lives, it had directly resulted in the Kyushu Squad losing their most important line of defense.
Even though the other members of A Murder of Crows weren’t as capable as w.a.n.g Yu and Evil Rampage, there was still Yang Nuo and Ming Du, two extremely strong ranged players, amongst them. Thus, the Archers of Kyushu Squad did not dare to take things lightly either.
Ming Du and the rest at the back had successfully managed to divert half of the enemy’s firepower over to themselves. Add on the fact that w.a.n.g Yu and Evil Rampage had destroyed the Kyushu Squad’s frontline defense, with a tiger in the front and a wolf at the back, attempting to stop w.a.n.g Yu and his brother with just three Magicians was simply wishful thinking.
…
After dealing with the two Warriors, w.a.n.g Yu and Evil Rampage both let out a roar, before waving their fists and das.h.i.+ng towards Boundless Ocean’s group of Magicians.
Upon seeing this, the faces of the group paled significantly as they frantically raised their staffs in the air at the same time.
“Ice Wall!”
“Fire Wall!!”
“Thunder Net!”
Following the trio’s incantations, three rows of magical defences were swiftly formed, forming an ice wall surrounded in flames that sparkled with lightning, forcefully blocking off w.a.n.g Yu’s duo.
At the same time, Nine Deities Arrow and Boundless Ocean both took a step back and swapped positions.
“Eh? What is the meaning of this?”
Upon seeing this scene, the audience couldn’t help but feel confused.
Even though a Magician was weak, compared to an Archer, they could take more hits before dying. Furthermore, Magicians had a myriad of protective abilities and thus, had a much higher survivability. What was the point in getting an Archer to form the defensive line?
Just when everyone was at a loss, Nine Deities Arrow retrieved the quiver attached to his waist. The arrows dropped out of the quiver and it turned into a small bag.
Nine Deities Arrow grabbed onto the small bag and shook, causing a bunch of loose parts to fall out from it.
Following which, Nine Deities Arrow swiftly rearranged the loose parts, and within 5 seconds, the parts at Nine Deities Arrow’s feet were completely pieced together.
All of a sudden, an over three metres Mechanical Warrior appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
“F*ck! Gundam?”
Upon seeing the mech appear in front of Nine Deities Arrow, the audience was stunned speechless.
Heck, creating a Gundam in a magic fantasy game was simply too extravagant.
Under the curious gazes of the audience, Nine Deities Arrow leapt into the air and landed on top of the Gundam. Shortly after, the mech began to move.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Yu and Evil Rampage had just destroyed the enhanced version of the [Ice Wall], and arrived in front of Nine Deities Arrow.
“F*ck!”
In the face of this high tech machinery, even someone as indifferent as w.a.n.g Yu revealed a look of shock.
On the other side, upon seeing this scene, Ming Du and the rest felt a shock in their hearts and instantly dashed over to help w.a.n.g Yu’s duo. However, Nine Deities Arrow’s position had already been replaced with Boundless Ocean.
With a wave of his staff, an ice wall immediately rose from the ground, separating the two groups of people.
At this moment, the audience finally understood the purpose of the previous swap in positions between Nine Deities Arrow and Boundless Ocean.
In the backlines, the control and AOE abilities that the Archers possessed were extremely limited. In the face of the group from Team A Murder of Crows, the three Archers were barely managing to deal with them with their terrain advantage.
At the frontlines, even though the Magicians had a lot of abilities in their a.r.s.enal, in a close up fight with Pugilists, they wouldn’t stand a chance, thus the duo had swapped positions. Boundless Ocean had successfully made up for the lack of pressure on Ming Du’s group while Nine Deities Arrow’s Gundam had taken up the role of a Tank.
Evil Rampage had once died under Nine Deities Arrow’s hands, thus, he had developed a grudge against him. Upon seeing Nine Deities Arrow’s Gundam, Evil Rampage turned to w.a.n.g Yu and said, “You take care of the two Magicians! I will go and take my revenge!”
As he was speaking, Evil Rampage immediately dashed forwards and begun engaging in a fistfight.
Nine Deities Arrow knew full well how vicious Evil Rampage’s fists could be. Now that he was unable to escape from it, he naturally wouldn’t use his own body to receive. Thus, he maneuvered the mech under him to return the blow with its huge fist.
“Boom!”
A man and a machine’s fists collided, resulting in a resounding boom to ring out in the arena. Following the sound of the collision, both Evil Rampage and Nine Deities Arrow retreated a few steps backwards.
-20000
A huge reduction in Evil Rampage’s HP bar appeared above his head. His HP had been directly reduced to one-third of its original amount.
Even though Nine Deities Arrow did not lose any HP, however, he received a system notification.
“F*ck!!!”
Nine Deities Arrow’s heart bled upon reading the notification. This mech was built from his own hard-earned money. The punch from Evil Rampage could have been said to have taken away 3000 gold from him!
“F*ck! It’s pretty st.u.r.dy!”
Evil Rampage shook his head to recover himself, before das.h.i.+ng forward once more.
After having his heart broken into numerous pieces from that initial collision, Nine Deities Arrow no longer dared to clash with Evil Rampage head-on. Thus, he hurriedly maneuvered the mech to jump a step backwards. At the same time, with a wave of both of its arms, bullet holes appeared on the elbow of the mech.
“Boom!”
The sound of an explosion rang out a countless of arrows rained down upon Evil Rampage.
Upon seeing this, Evil Rampage’s pupil narrowed. He hurriedly activated [Eagle Stomp] to stop his charge and land on the ground, before weaving his body around while his hands danced in the midst of the oncoming arrows, deflecting them away.
Even though Evil Rampage was a martial artist as well, he was still far from w.a.n.g Yu’s standard. Furthermore, this brat had added all of his points into Strength, and was used to breaking through with force, resulting in his actions being less agile. Additionally, he also didn’t know the [Seven Star Steps] either…
In the face of so many arrows, even w.a.n.g Yu would have to put in some effort to deflect all of them, much less Evil Rampage who became fl.u.s.tered in the face of this attack. Thus, he only managed to protect the vulnerable areas on his body, resulting in his shoulders and thighs having been struck by numerous arrows.
Innocent Playmate and the other Magician hiding behind Nine Deities Arrows began waving their staffs and were about to unleash their abilities to help Nine Deities Arrow, upon seeing that he had some difficulty holding his ground.
However, before the duo could finish their incantations, a pair of huge hands suddenly grabbed onto the back of the necks of the two.
At the same time, a deep voice entered the ears of the duo, “Where are you looking at? Your opponent is me!”
“???”
Upon hearing this voice, both of them frantically turned their heads around, only to see w.a.n.g Yu flas.h.i.+ng them a big smile behind them.
“h.e.l.lo, goodbye!”
With a slight smile, w.a.n.g Yu viciously squeezed both the necks in his hands.
“Ka!”
The sound of bones cracking could be heard, as the duo’s head suddenly tilted at an awkward angle, before their bodies were both dropped onto the floor, turning into white lights and being sent off the stage.
Everyone suddenly felt a chill in their hearts at this scene. F*ck, did he just snap both their necks like they were twigs?
Nine Deities Arrow’s Gundam was as vicious as the Gundam’s depicted in the novels. With that barrage of arrows, even though Evil Rampage did not die, he was left in a miserable state with his HP bar remaining at 30%. Additionally, he was inflicted with the “Reduced Movement Speed” status.
“[Energy Charge]!!”
Seeing that Evil Rampage was on the brink of death, Nine Deities Arrow blasted a [Energy Charge] towards Evil Rampage.
