Chapter 1903: Chapter 1903: Mockery
Edward laughed and said, “We don’t specify who goes on stage either. Anyone who has the confidence and is granted approval from our side can step up. Now, let’s start the first round. Who would like to come up and challenge the prowess of a Starfire Core Group member?”
“I’ll do it. I’ve long heard of Liaoyuan and Starfire’s prowess. I initially wanted to challenge Liaoyuan but unfortunately realized my strength wasn’t enough. However, I believe I can handle the members of the Starfire Core Group.”
A player with two blood-colored Slicing Blades hanging at his waist, his body bristling with muscles and wearing minimal armor, stepped forward. He was human, but judging by his physique, a different skin color would make him be mistaken for an Orc.
Strangely enough, as he walked, a phantom appeared behind him with each step, his entire body shrouded in a shadow, as if his real self wasn’t in this space.
When the others saw him stepping forward, those who wanted to speak fell silent, nodding in agreement to his participation.
Qin Feng Yi said, “So it’s him, known as the Phantom Berserker Mafei. Although not the leader of a super guild, his combat power is recognized as number one among his super guild. Additionally, he’s a master-level arena champion with over a hundred consecutive victories in melee DPS classes. His characteristics include fast attack speed, unpredictable vicious attacks, and it’s difficult to handle him.”
“Let me go, no matter how ferocious he is, I’m immovable like a mountain,” said the Guardian Angel.
Yaoji was about to nod when Haikuotiankong chimed in, “Let me go. We can’t just sit here and watch; it’s time to exert some effort.”
Shed a Tear shook their head, “You can’t. If I remember correctly, you suffered a defeat at his hands half a month ago.”
“That match was unresolved!” retorted Haikuotiankong.
“This isn’t an ordinary competition. We must win. I must admit, your class is countered by his; don’t argue, it’s an undeniable fact. Also, in the first match, the heavyweight experts of Starfire can’t step in, which makes me the most suitable,” said Shed a Tear.
Sister Li frowned, “Your combat prowess is naturally strong, but if you go first, it might earn you the title of being a vanguard, which is improper.”
“As long as we win, let them say whatever they want. At our level, what do their words matter?” Shed a Tear replied unconcerned.
Seeing Shed a Tear speaking up to this point, the members of Starfire all agreed, besides, there was no doubt about Shed a Tear’s formidable combat power.
Shed a Tear and the Fruit Knight were both from the Sacred Teaching army, sparring frequently these days with mutual victories and losses, which wasn’t a secret in Starfire. Her stepping up was practically equivalent to the Fruit Knight going up.
Indeed, seeing Shed a Tear coming out, many guild leaders on the opposing side turned worried. Who didn’t know her?
Although she wasn’t the leader, everyone knew she was the boss of the Qionghua Guild. Her personal involvement showed where she stood.
“A woman, huh, heh, but I don’t know what it means to cherish women,” Mafei sneered.
“What era is this, still looking down on women,” Shed a Tear’s eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure.
“Let’s begin then. Tell me when you’re ready, but don’t say I ambushed you if you lose.” Mafei drew his weapon.
“You talk too much.” Shed a Tear’s hand glinted with golden light.
A spinning golden Warhammer whistled through the air, speeding towards Mafei.
Mafei’s eyes were indifferent as he lightly stepped forward, dodging the semi-locked Sanction Hammer, which then struck a large pit behind him.
An eerie scene followed, with Mafei taking another gentle step, causing the space to blur.
Mafei suddenly appeared in front of Shed a Tear, while the shadow from afar only then vanished.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding…
The sound of weapons clashing intensely filled everyone’s ears.
The crowd saw Mafei seemingly fast-forwarded as in an accelerated video, with his movements eerily swift as he appeared in various directions around Shed a Tear.
His blood-tinged weapon fell like a tempest, leaving many players inwardly shocked by such an uncanny strike, wondering how long they would last if it were them.
But at this moment, they saw Shed a Tear skillfully wielding her Shield and Holy Light Sword, constantly parrying the violent Slicing Blades, causing countless sparks to fly.
Blood Qi Power and Holy Light Power clashed incessantly, although Shed a Tear’s actions and speed seemed lesser compared to Mafei, she accurately blocked his every move.
“Enough, get lost!”
When Shed a Tear deflected his Slicing Blade, she suddenly raised her hand high.
Ka-cha~
Suddenly, a blinding golden lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking Shed a Tear, from which countless golden lightning bolts formed a Shockwave spreading from her.
Hmph!
Mafei had to halt his tempest-like assault, slightly adjusting his footwork, and then his figure abruptly disappeared, returning to where he started, as if the collision just now was an illusion.
“Not bad, very perceptive. You actually noticed that my continuous blade attacks increase in power and speed with every strike, managing to capture the higher stage broken flaw of my move, that alone is enough to make you a worthy opponent,” Mafei said arrogantly.
“Don’t be so full of yourself. Just a bit of skill and you think you’re something. If you’re that formidable, why don’t you challenge Chairman Liaoyuan?” Shed a Tear sneered.
“I’ll face him sooner or later,” Mafei’s breath caught. Every time he wanted to challenge Liaoyuan, he found Liaoyuan even stronger, now he wasn’t even keen on the idea. To make matters worse, Liaoyuan’s pets alone were already hard for him to handle; how could he ask Liaoyuan not to use pets when he’s a Beast King Hunter? Asking a Berserker not to use weapons, isn’t that like a Hunter’s pets and a warrior’s weapons being equivalent?
“I’ll be watching with interest then,” Shed a Tear laughed disdainfully.
“You are indeed strong, but Shield and blocking can’t negate all damage. With just one skill, you’ve already lost a third of your health, while my Bloodsucking trait far exceeds yours. I’m at full health; you might as well concede,” Mafei said while buffing himself, a clear sign he was getting serious.
A Holy Light descended, instantly replenishing Shed a Tear’s health, “Do you look down on us hybrid classes who can heal? I don’t have Bloodsucking, but I can heal myself. I also have invincibility, physical shield, and holy healing. Haven’t you ever been sanctioned?”
“I’ve encountered many Knights, but those shorty legs only get bullied. No matter how much life-saving they have, what does it matter? To me, besides invincible Hearthstone, nothing else is worthwhile. But in such circumstances, you can’t use that move, right?” Mafei teased. The invincible Hearthstone could always stir up discussion, making Knights uneasy…
