Chapter 815: Black Light Battle Axe
Li Yi regained his footing and drew his Orange Quality Bow.
“Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr—”
As soon as Jiggly’s figure appeared, the Spinning Arrow nailed him in the back of his head.
[−876655]It was not even a battle. He fell to the ground after one hit.
The Chrono Territory could speed things up, and that was Li Yi used to drastically reduce the length of Jiggly’s Spirited Away, drawing the latter out ahead of time.
“This makes no sense…”
Jiggly mumbled in frustration from where he lay on the floor.
The first match was Li Yi’s easy and decisive victory.
For the second, Jiggly learned his lesson. Instead of using Spirited Away, he switched to Stealth and approached Li Yi directly.
“Smack smack smack!”Li Yi activated God Mode and Jiggly’s Stealth was immediately rendered useless. Five shots later, and Jiggly was once again down for the count.
If a Thief could not get close to their opponent, all that awaited them was death.
The first matchup of the semis went to Li Yi, and he earned a point.
For the second matchup, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth took on Jiggly, and he seemed to take this battle in stride as well. Standing in the middle of the stage, he bent down and charged his Nukitsuke.
Preparing Nukitsuke meant he could stand there motionlessly, and when the opponent attacked, Nukitsuke would be automatically unleashed, launching a counterattack on the opponent.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had 1,100,000 HP, so he was not afraid of Jiggly’s sneak attacks at all.
Jiggly circled around him and had barely used Garotte when he was struck with Nukitsuke. Following the momentum, Jiggly lowered his body and used a Kick, dodging the Nukitsuke blow. Just then, however, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth turned around slightly and used Abyss-ripping Windstorm. A powerful blue windstorm tore through half of the arena.
Abyss-ripping Windstorm was an advanced form of Blade Storm. Compared to Blade Storm that could only spin for about a dozen seconds, Abyss-ripping Windstorm lasted longer, dealt more damage, and covered more ground.
Jiggly was swept into the windstorm, and five seconds later, he ran out of HP and died.
At the start of the second match, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth began by preparing Nukitsuke again.
He was taking advantage of the fact that Thieves could not use ranged attacks.
Jiggly watched him for a long time but eventually shook his head helplessly, raising his hand up high. “I admit defeat!”
He gave up the fight.
He could tell that Li Yi and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth were using him to score easy points, so he threw in the towel.
“What the f*ck is the meaning of this?”
“Another one admitted defeat?”
“This year’s matches are boring. Why are there so many retards?!”
“F*cker, I wanna see more blood!”
The audience erupted into jeers, but Jiggly smiled and waved as he walked off the stage.
One of the seeded contestants had given up, so Li Yi and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth entered the finals, just as they had intended.
The two contestants took to the stage, and the Annual Arena Championship Finals were to officially begin in 5 minutes.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth looked at Li Yi coldly. “We’ll settle all our grudges, once and for all. Li Yi, I hope you’ll keep your word!”
Li Yi’s lips curved. “Same to you.”
“Heh~”
Just then, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth kept away his Purple Quality Sword and pulled out a pitch-black Battle Axe instead.
Li Yi’s eyes narrowed.
So was this Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s final trump card?
The pitch-black battle axe had a long handle and it sparkled with black light. Li Yi was quite familiar with this weapon because he had seen it once before.
When Li Yi first headed for the Dwelling of the Undead, he had taken away Lich King Ner’zhul’s Lord of Disaster Greatsword. Not long after that, another weapon appeared in the Lich King’s hands, and it was none other than this Black Light Battle Axe.
His changing weapons all of a sudden was not just to show off. Li Yi knew perfectly well that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had not used this weapon before, all so he could use it against Li Yi now.
This man was crafty indeed!
“If it weren’t for you, Qian’er would definitely be mine. You stole Qian’er from me. Dark Wing, I’ve tolerated you for long enough!”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s hands wrapped around the Black Light Battle Axe were covered in veins. His emotions were nearly out of control.
“That’s all on you, and it has nothing to do with me. Even without me, Qian’er would never like you. You know that perfectly well, so why do you feign ignorance?”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth glared at Li Yi ferociously. If looks could kill, Li Yi would be dead and buried by now.
“You humiliated Qian’er over and over again. Is that how you show your love? What were you thinking when you said all those things about her? What were you thinking when you raped her stepmother?”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s face twisted. “Hahaha, if I can’t have something, no one else f*cking can!”
“Clang!”
The match had officially begun!
“Territory Release!”
“Territory Release!”
The gold and purple light barriers expanded at the same time, enveloping the entire arena and overlapping.
“Voom voom!”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s Black Light Battle Axe began to shine brightly as the Killing Aura began to fill it up.
“Charge!”
A figure dashed at Li Yi.
“Teleport!”
“Whoosh—”
Before Tyrant Sword King the Fifth could reach him with Charge, Li Yi used Teleport and then activated God Mode, shooting a True Overlord Arrow.
An enormous phoenix of flames flew from the Orange Quality Bow and spread its wings, crashing mercilessly into Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.
“Boom!”
[−366567]
There was a burst of red damage figures, and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth could not help but take a step back.
The True Overlord Arrow came with the Repel effect, which was why Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was pushed one step back even though he was wearing the Sovereign Equipment Set, even though he was nearly at the same level as Li Yi. If it was a regular player, they would have been blown on the stage.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth raised the Black Light Battle Axe and slashed it down at the air.
“Whoosh—”
There was a slash of Killing Light, and it came straight at Li Yi.
“Teleport!”
Li Yi had been waiting for that attack. When he saw Tyrant Sword King the Fifth raise the battle axe, he had been bracing himself to use Teleport, and with it, he dodged the Killing Light with ease.
“Zoom zoom!”
The Black Light Battle Axe had just shot out the Killing Light gathered in it, but now the axe blade was glittering again, and the Killing Aura began to fill it up again.
The speed at which it was filling up was uncanny. There really was something off about this weapon!
“Whoosh—”
There was another burst of Killing Light, but Li Yi still evaded it with Teleport.
“Smack! Smack!”
While Li Yi was evading the attacks, he even found the time to cast Shooting Star Arrow Hail twice. They did not hit, however, as Tyrant Sword King the Fifth rolled left and right to avoid them all.
“Whoosh—”
“Whoosh—”
“Whoosh—”
The Killing Aura continued to fill up the Black Light Battle Axe at a highly alarming rate. It did not allow its opponent any breathing time whatsoever.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth used three strikes of Killing Light, but Li Yi evaded all of them. Just as he was about to use it for the fourth time, Li Yi teleported behind him and traded his bow for a sword, slashing Tyrant Sword King the Fifth five times faster than anyone could blink.
“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”
[−34566]
[−34455]
[−43322]
[−54443[
[−25656]
That was five slashes in one second!
After Snickersnee modified it, the Wind Sword now had a terrifying ATK SPD of 0.2. Each slash came with a Wind Blade too, so every hit counted as two.
“Nukitsuke!”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth reacted very quickly, lowering his body as soon as he was attacked and then using Nukitsuke.
“Teleport!”
Li Yi moved far away and then crouched down.
“Whoosh—”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth used Nukitsuke, but it flew past the top of Li Yi’s head. After that, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s body started to spin rapidly. He was using Abyss-ripping Windstorm!
If Li Yi had not teleported away earlier, there was no way he could have evaded this follow-up skill, Abyss-ripping Windstorm.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth controlled the Abyss-ripping Windstorm to spin toward Li Yi. On the other hand, Li Yi dodged as he used True Overlord Arrows to lower his opponent’s HP.
The phoenix’s cry rang out over and over again, stunning the audience into silence.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The True Overlord Arrow had a wide range, so while Tyrant Sword King the Fifth used Abyss-ripping Windstorm, he had spin slowly. It was practically impossible to dodge a True Overlord Arrow, so while he was using his skill, he had to accept all of Li Yi’s attacks. Not a single one went to waste.
“Extermination Arrow!”
“Zzzip zzzip zzzip—”
When he saw that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was running out of health, Li Yi used the Extermination Arrow.
[Extermination Arrow): The upgraded form of Elimination Arrow. When the target has less than 20% HP, there’s a 100% chance of exterminating the enemy. When the target has less than 30% HP, there’s a 50% chance of exterminating the enemy. When the extermination fails, the power of the attack will be reduced to that of a normal attack. When the target has more than 30% HP, the extermination will not take effect, and the user will suffer a punishment where the character cannot be controlled for 6 seconds.]
“Zzzip!”
The Extermination Arrow accurately hit Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, who had just stopped spinning. However, the Extermination Li Yi expected did not arrive, and there was not a single damage digit above Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s head. Instead, Li Yi himself felt disoriented, and his body could not move for 6 seconds.
What happened? Tyrant Sword King the Fifth clearly had less than 20% of his health left, so how could the Extermination fail?
Li Yi was stunned.
“Whoosh—”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth raised his Black Light Battle Axe up high and slashed down at Li Yi’s general direction.
“Pfft!”
Amidst the blinding Killing Light, a red damage figure of [−575444] appeared above Li Yi’s head.
It dealt that much damage to him, even though he was wearing the Hall of Fame Equipment Set. If it were a regular player, that move would have been enough for Tyrant Sword King the Fifth to kill them.
‘5… 4… 3… 2… 1!’
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth did not know what was happening to Li Yi, so when he saw Li Yi standing still, he only chose to attack as quickly as he could, instead of charging forth at him.
Two consecutive blows of Killing Light took another 1,300,000+ HP from Li Yi, and that nearly killed him. Thankfully, when the third slash of Killing Light came charging at him, Li Yi’s body returned to normal, and he used Teleport to escape by the skin of his teeth.
“Smack! Smack! Smack!”
Li Yi unleashed three Meteors and one Stinger Arrow for good measure.
Just then, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was still raising his Black Light Battle Axe and was caught in a temporary state of hit recovery. There was no way he could avoid Li Yi’s attack like that.
The three Meteors and one Stinger Arrow all met their mark.
Li Yi could clearly see Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s health bar drop to zero.
He had no more health left. He had zero HP!
But he was still alive!
Li Yi was stunned.
“Whoosh—”
It was another blow of Killing Light. Li Yi had no time to dwell on it; all he could do was use Teleport to avoid the blows.
He did not even die when his HP reached zero. Was that a special effect of the Black Light Battle Axe?
“Whoosh—”
When Li Yi avoided the Killing Light, he still chose to retaliate against Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. However, whenever he landed a hit on Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, the damage figure that appeared was 0.
0!
A red 0!
There was no damage, which meant that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s health had finally run out.
When the battle began, Li Yi had tried to test how long Tyrant Sword King the Fifth could keep up his Territory, but even after so long, the purple light barrier had barely shrunk at all. This meant that the Chrono Territory’s acceleration did not much of an effect on Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.
He had been using Teleport repeatedly, and that consumed a lot of Territory Power too. Li Yi knew that he could not let things drag out like this.
“Authority—Strip!”
A flash of blinding light shot from Li Yi’s body, heading straight for Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.
