Chapter 552: Savage Blade's Internal Strife?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“What the f*ck are you guys doing?” The two Hunters panicked but managed to unleash their combination attack due to their great teamwork. Flames and icicles exploded in all directions as Frostbolt and Fire Arrow collided.

The Hunter fired consecutively as the arrows blended in with the flames and icicles, making them hard to avoid. Two of the arrows were targeted at Innocent Killer, who was busy manipulating the Mechanical Gargoyle.

The Bandit's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, “We are being taunted! What kind of skill can even taunt a player?”

The usual taunt technique was only effective against monsters, and there was a higher chance of failure when going against Boss-level monsters. Players were totally immune against taunts. However, Innocent Killer had practiced the Nature Temple's spell—Spiritual Taunt! This resulted in the targets within a 12-yards radius of the summoned beast to suffer from the taunting, forced to attack the summoned beast, and a 50% decrease in their Defense!

The two taunted Bandits had 1/3 of their health bar drained by the Mechanical Gargoyle's fireball. Charming Smile then followed up with a lightning chain, blasting 784 points of Magic Damage instantly. The Elemental Shaman's overload control was activated as lightning shot out and electrocuted the Bandits!

“Battle Rez!” The Druid trudged his right claw, and one of the Bandits clambered up immediately. They charged towards Innocent Killer, and the Hunters' arrows reached at the same time. It seemed like they were determined to get rid of the summoner first!

Bang—

As the sharp claw descended, Bu Yi's Power Word Shield was cast. The shield with up to 750 points shocked the Druid before he was swooped away by Baili Changcheng's Ice Control. The Bandit panicked and was about to retreat but was captured by the Mechanical Gargoyle. He was instantly torn to death by its vicious claws.

The Hunters were still planning one last assassination as an attempt to salvage some dignity, but Lin Jie's Death Grip captured them. The Broken Blade sliced them.

Ding~

—”You have defeated a team, congratulations on receiving 1 [Best of the Best Finals' Gift Bag].”

“Hoho, that was a breeze!” Charming Smile stood abreast and said arrogantly, “At this rate, winning this competition will be a piece of cake!”

“I think that's not our priority right now? Come, let's see what's inside.” Baili Changcheng opened up the gift bag and pulled out a Level 40 Gold hammer ecstatically. It had a market worth of around 100 gold coins.

Innocent Killer, Bu Yi, and Lin Jie followed suit, and their rewards also ranged around 100 coins. Although the game coins were in a state of deflation, they still worthed a couple thousand in cash! However, Charming Smile eyed everyone with her big doe eyes.

Her luck was pretty bad as she didn't receive a gift bag.

Lin Jie consoled her, “Don't be too disheartened, that's how the system operates. Those that lost might get a gift bag while others that have won several times might not even get one. Ultimately, it's pretty superficial.”

“Superficial? If it was superficial, I would be buried in gift bags!” Charming Smile stamped her feet angrily.

The next round of competition commenced soon after!

This time, they were against their new Savage Blade comrades—Jiangnan Yanyu, Lingyun Xiaoxiao, Ten Thousand Men's Enemy, Demon Sword, as well as Breeze Wind. They had joined the Best Of The Best tournament after leaving Crescent Canyon and entered the final competition after winning five consecutive rounds.

“Hi, boss!” Breeze Wind greeted. “We will not let you off easy.”

“That's great.” Lin Jie returned with a smile.

“Battle begins!”

Demon Sword charged up first and whipped the blade elegantly as he stabbed towards Lin Jie! He collided onto the Broken Blade head-on, and his desperation surprised Lin Jie! However, next up, Demon Sword vanished into thin air, and Lin Jie only felt a slight breeze and coldness creep from his back.

Demon Sword made use of Gale Steps' short duration of Invisible to stop Broken Blade in its track before transporting to the back. If Lin Jie was correct, the next step would be…

“Hehe, Backhand Backstab!” Demon Sword's blade whipped across a fountain and stabbed towards Lin Jie's back! He was no longer equipped with the Crescent Canyon's Level 25 Set. Instead, he had upgraded to Level 40 Dark Gold equipment, and his attributes increased more than three-fold! If this Backhand Backstab succeeded, Lin Jie would turn into a bloody mess!

Bang!

However, the bloodied scene that he expected did not occur as Demon Sword's blade felt a strong obstruction. He focussed his vision and saw that his blade had collided with Broken Blade! Unknowingly, Lin Jie's right hand had extended at the bottom, and Broken Blade extended towards the top and blocked down the attack!

-1,293!

Demon Sword had unleashed a beautiful series of attacks, resulting in a high Damage Dealt!

“My turn!” Lin Jie grinned and activated his Death Grip!

Demon Sword knew how powerful Lin Kie was once he unleashed himself, so he activated Forced Invisibility and escaped into nothingness. He made us of the Invincible moment to get out of Death Grip. Next up, a series of gale footsteps sounded, and Demon Sword bolted towards Bu Yi.

Lin Jie glanced over, and the other side was involved in a crazy battle!

The Retribution Paladin held several blessings and stood in the middle of the arena. The Mechanical Gargoyle was unable to pass through and could only face him head-on. However, there was a total of three healers behind him! Other than Jiangnan Yanyu, and Lingyun Xiaoxiao, Breeze Wind was happily burying life seeds. Unless the Paladin was instakilled, he wouldn't die,

“I am going to expand the arena and attack from the back. Charming Smile, get ready for an explosion!” Baili Changcheng moved and ran towards the edge of the platform.

Ragnarok's unlimited arena was activated as it expanded and provided a larger space. The Paladin was no longer able to restrict Baili Changcheng, so he glanced back and shouted, “Use our trump card now!” Ten Thousand Men's Enemy used Cross Military Strike to push the Mechanical Gargoyle away. He then activated Holy Light and charged towards the back row where Charming Smile and Bu Yi were.

Currently, Baili Changcheng was approaching the three healers. He waved his Quicksand Sword, and sand was whipped up.

“Ice Control•Ice Seal!”

Instantly, the yellow sand froze into icicles and was about to freeze the three healers. At the same time, Charming Smile would electrocute them.

“Hehe, do you think that it will be that easy? You guys cooperate with Ten Thousand Men's Enemy, I will go against him!” Breeze Wind transformed into a giant bear, and its enormous paws slapped on Baili Changcheng's chest! The Elemental Sword Artist was blasted away upon impact.

Baili Changcheng, who was in the air, whipped his broadsword, and the ice crystals fell to the ground like hailstones.

“Ice Stone Rain!”

-457! -578! -420!

The concentrated attacks drained the two Priests' health bars by nearly half.

On the side, Charming Smile was ready with her magic.

At that moment, Ten Thousand Men's Enemy's gigantic figure bolted up front as it emitted rich Holy Light.

“Ultimate move! Holy Light Bomb!”

[Holy Light Bomb]: Hangs up a Holy Light bomb for the friendly side, which will explode after 4 seconds. It will inflict the damage of 10% of the team members with the highest health bar. During the period of the Holy Light Bomb, if the target had been healed before, it will be inflicted with an additional 50% of damage.

“Explosion healing, kill them!” growled Ten Thousand Men's Enemy.

Jiangnan Yanyu and Lingyun Xiaoxiao, who were behind him, released a lot of healing spells, and a series of overloaded healing green digits appeared. Breeze Wind cast out Life Seeds, Rejuvenation, Tree of Life, and other healing skills onto him. The trick to the Holy Light Bomb was the higher the healing overload, the higher would be the exploded attack! If this bomb exploded, Charming Smile, Innocent Killer, and Bu Yi would be destroyed!

Baili Changcheng wanted to help out as his Frost Armor was immune to damage. However, Demon Sword did not let him have that opportunity as he proceeded to stun him immediately.

“Holy Light Bomb, explode!”

Ten Thousand Men's Enemy bolted to the back row, and Holy Thunderstorm was unleashed consecutively, followed by the shiny explosion! How immense would the three top-notch Healers' healing powers be? The damage blasted away Ten Thousand Men's Enemy's body as a scary value appeared—5473!

Breeze Wind let out a breath as the Holy Light Bomb exploded. Once the trio at the back row was dead, they would have a slight chance of victory against one Lone Wolf with the three healers and Demon Sword!

The fog parted, but the expected guild defeat did not happen—the trio still stood there!

“How is that possible?” Jiangnan Yanyu could not believe her eyes. “Could it be that groups were immune to it?”

Lingyun Xiaoxiao glared at the frail and inconspicuous figure and said, “It's because of that Priest.”

As the Holy Light and smoke dissipated, Bu Yi was seen holding her staff and standing in front of Charming Smile and Innocent Killer. There was still some leftover Holy Light that shone brilliantly from her hand, and they fell to the ground.

“Such high damage…” Bu Yi was surprised. If she hadn't conjured ten shields in time, they probably wouldn't have been able to take that hit. However, even so, Bu Yi's mana bar was fully depleted and hard to recover.

“Oh, my God! Blocking our holy light bomb with a Power Word Shield…” Jiangnan Yanyu was surprised as she said helplessly, “Guess there was really no chance of winning.”

“Nope, you guys have done very well.”

A compliment sounded from behind him. The three healers turned back abruptly as they realized Lin Jie was already standing behind them. The Broken Blade had activated Blame Boost and was pointing towards the ground. If Lin Jie had attacked, the trio would have been long dead!

Breeze Wind smiled and said, “Hehe, we are still far away from you, boss.”

Lin Jie felt relieved as he looked at his teammates. He never expected them to improve so greatly! They would definitely enter the finals.

This internal strife ended with Lin Jie's team's victory. This was also the first time Bu Yi showcased her talents, and even Lin Jie could not compare to her manipulation of the Nine Great Techniques! Lin Jie was still at the phase of figuring out and converting the techniques, while Bu Yi was able to use them for battle.

The next three battles were not as auriferous as the first two rounds, and it was obvious that the seeded teams had been defeated. Supreme Brotherhood had obtained five consecutive wins as well.

However, a piece of bad news came at that moment—Breeze Wind's team lost 2 out of 5 rounds and could not continue onto the finals!
