Chapter 1223: Addiction For Close-Combat?
Yang Nuo had to admit that she had no idea how to react to Dark Moon Hunter’s actions.
Even though Yang Nuo was an Archer, she had always been using the Independent Mode and not the a.s.sisted Mode to attack. Yang Nuo’s accuracy was slightly worse than ordinary Archers which was why she had always chosen to fight closer to her opponents.
In the subconscious of any ordinary players, the first thing they did when faced against an Archer was to close in on them to prevent them from running away.
Therefore, Yang Nuo felt no need to move in the earlier two battles. When her opponent saw that she was an Archer, they would naturally move in on her to let her kill.
However, Yang Nuo’s opponent in the third match was actually an Archer. He was naturally going to open up the distance between them. Just like that, Yang Nuo’s superiority in the battle turned into a disadvantage.
Without the aid from the system, Yang Nuo would really be at a disadvantage to have a long-distance shootout with her opponent.
However, Dark Moon Hunter had no plans to fight close combat with Yang Nuo. In fact, he had no plans to fight her long-distance too.
In Dark Moon Hunter’s eyes, if an Archer like Yang Nuo could be this savage and dominant in close-combat, just how frightening would she be in long-distance fight?
What Dark Moon Hunter planned on doing was to find a safe spot to hide from Yang Nuo for thirty minutes. Following which, Yang Nuo would be swapped out of the arena.
A one to one sacrifice was considered a win for them. As long as he was able to swap a tough nut like Yang Nuo out, the victory at the back would belong to them.
In a compet.i.tion like this, tactics, control over the battlefield as well as IQ were all equally important.
The City Street map was not considered small with plenty of streets in sixes and sevens. Hiding for more than thirty minutes was not a difficult task.
As a professional Archer, it was basically Dark Moon Hunter’s specialty to hide from his opponent.
When Yang Nuo saw that Dark Moon Hunter had disappeared out of her sight, she didn’t move from her spot. She simply stood there awaiting her opponent to attack her.
It was incredibly easy to discern where an arrow flew from.
This was an example of meeting any changes with constancy. As long as Dark Moon Hunter dared to attack Yang Nuo, she would be able to discern his current location.
However, Yang Nuo stood there for a while and n.o.body attacked her. The spectators outside were clearly able to see that Dark Moon Hunter had run to the corner to hide from Yang Nuo with no intentions of attacking her.
Looking at a scene like that, the spectators cried out desperately as they expressed their unhappiness.
Successful people have their own ways to deal with matters but shameless people are surprisingly similar.
Just a while ago, the fellas from Team A Murder Of Crows drove the players from Team Pugilist Don’t Cry mad using the same method.
After a short while, Yang Nuo also realised what her opponent was doing. She pondered for a moment before flapping her wings to everyone’s shock. She suddenly started floating in the air.
Yang Nuo was certainly taking things to the next level.
No, she wasn’t taking it to the next level. She was, in fact, taking it to the heavens.
As Yang Nuo flew higher and higher, the entire map was under her nose. The hidden Dark Moon Hunter was naturally not going to escape her sight.
“Haha!”
Seeing how Dark Moon Hunter stayed hidden with his head bending over, Yang Nuo couldn’t help but smile as she flew towards the top of his head.
At this moment, Dark Moon Hunter was currently squatting by the corner of a wall looking to his left and right.
He was a true professional expert. In an angle like this, he simply needed to look forward and he would be able to see everything clearly. It was enough to give himself enough time to escape any time he senses any danger.
What Dark Moon Hunter didn’t expect was that Yang Nuo could fly and could ambush him from above.
When Dark Moon Hunter was focused on watching out for any movements around him, Yang Nuo had already arrived above Dark Moon Hunter’s head.
“Hey! What are you doing?!”
Yang Nuo held back her smile forcefully as she used her leg to kick Dark Moon Hunter on the back of his head.
“Keep quiet!” Dark Moon Hunter waved his hands silently, “Later she sees me… Eh?”
Once Dark Moon Hunter said that, he swallowed his saliva and turned around. All he saw was an emotionless Yang Nuo aiming at his head with her bow and arrow.
“F*ck!”
Dark Moon Hunter got the shock of his life as he quickly dodged to the side. Instinctively, he shot out an arrow.
Yang Nuo extended his arm to grab Dark Moon Hunter’s arrow before catching up to Dark Moon Hunter’s back. She casually stabbed the same arrow through Dark Moon Hunter’s neck artery.
Everyone felt chills in their neck when they saw that, “F*ck! She is really into violence eh?!”
Fortunately, using an arrow to stab someone did not cause much damage to him. However, being stabbed by someone in this manner was enough to scare the soul out of Dark Moon Hunter.
Being panicky, Dark Moon Hunter raised his bow and swung it towards Yang Nuo’s head.
Forcing an Archer to fight close-combat with her was indeed Yang Nuo’s ultimate talent.
Regardless of how good Dark Moon Hunter was as an Archer, he was at least two Vainglorys apart from being comparable to Yang Nuo in terms of close-combat.
When Dark Moon Hunter’s bow swung towards her, Yang Nuo remained calm as she dodged to the side and raised her hand. She released an arrow from her own bow.
“Swis.h.!.+”
An arrow flew out.
With less than one metre between the two of them, Yang Nuo was pretty accurate from this distance.
“Boom!”
The arrow shot right at Dark Moon Hunter’s head.
Dark Moon Hunter was in great shock and acted as though he was addicted to close-combat battles. He swung the bow in his hand with much greater force than before.
Yang Nuo showed off her agility as she dodged each and every one of Dark Moon Hunter’s attacks one after another. With every move she took, she released an arrow and Dark Moon Hunter’s health decreased bit by bit.
It didn’t take long for a weak defense Archer to fall short and have his health bar emptied out by Yang Nuo.
He was truly pitiful. To think that a professional Archer only managed to shoot out one arrow throughout the entire time… The rest of the time, he was getting shot to death.
If Yang Nuo was beaten to death by him in this match, he would undoubtedly be known as a true savage. However, the opposite happened and he was merely known as a big fool being laughed and mocked at by everyone else in the venue.
Close-combat Archer? He was overthinking it.
Just like that, another three matches had pa.s.sed.
The advantage that Nimble Hand earned for his team was won back by Yang Nuo herself.
Back in the arena, Yang Nuo continued playing with her bow as she looked at ease. The disdain in her eyes as well as her att.i.tude had become a beautiful scenery for everyone watching the match.
She was basically a living valkyrie.
All the professional experts started paying close attention to Yang Nuo.
Thunderlord Block from the Heavenly Dragon Squad commented after seeing how Yang Nuo won three consecutive rounds, “In the past, I only know that this lady’s range is incredible. Who would have thought that her close-combat skills were equally as good?”
Tranquility Yields Transcendence, who was standing by the side, chuckled, “Why? Don’t tell me you’ll lose if you face up against her?”
“What kind of joke are you making?!” Thunderlord Block defended himself, “I am a Guardian so her arrows will never make it through my s.h.i.+eld. Dark Moon Squad is also considered unlucky to think that all three players are of weak defense. If the next player from the Dark Moon Squad is a Guardian, she might not have it that easy.”
“Heh!”
Tranquility Yields Transcendence pointed at Dark Moon Soul, who was transported to the arena. “Your filthy mouth is pretty accurate!”
