Chapter 630: Nose in the Air

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wearing the Sinful Angel Equipment Set, Ah Ye raised his hit recovery to 100 points. Unending Unmatched attempted multiple times to charge towards him but even a Ferocious Strike managed to cause a mere 2 seconds of hit recovery. Once the time was up and he recovered, no combo could be chained on him.

Without combos, Unending Unmatched’s instantaneous damage proved less than satisfactory. Ah Ye endured all attacks with healing skills.

It was just as Fake Fengxi described, Ah Ye’s HP was still full after two minutes while a third of Unending Unmatched’s had been cursed off.

Fretting, Unending Unmatched tossed his shield aside, increasing his speed, and repeatedly slashed with Blazing Judgment.

Main tanks could afford to dawdle in battle thanks to their lengthy HP, the same was true for the Priest class with their ability to heal. With these two dawdling classes fighting against each other, the battle was progressed at a fairly slow rate.

5 minutes later, the first round ended.

Ah Ye won the battle with full HP.

Drawing long breaths, Unending Unmatched found it hard to accept the result of the match.

He was frustrated by the outcome.

“Does he have unlimited mana? How is it that his mana doesn’t empty out after healing that many times?”

“A madman. I’m at a loss of words. It must be a guaranteed clear in dungeons with such a healbot around.”

“I wouldn’t say so. Ah Ye was one of the healers in the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s party for the Soul Gate, yet they have not completed it.”

Discussions were heated among the spectators on varying topics. However, the majority of the discussions were focused on Unending Unmatched.

“Anyone in the guild with damage-increasing skills? Could you lend them to me for a while?”

Unending Unmatched shouted at the top of his lungs in the alliance channel.

He may not be willing to accept his defeat, but he knew that if he did not change his tactics in round two, the outcome would surely be the same.

In short, if his instantaneous damage was not powerful enough to kill Ah Ye, he was done for.

“I have Fatal Counter but it’s a Level 10 Purple Quality item.”

“I have Substrength, a Level 50 Gold Quality item.”

“I have Blood-curdling Attack!”

“Thanks all, please send them my way. Don’t worry, there’ll be trade records in the alliance, I won’t keep your equipment.”

“What are you talking about? You don’t have to be polite about it. I trust you!”

“Yeah, that’s right. We’ve been clearing dungeons together for almost two years now, who cares about this kinda stuff?”

Ding ding ding ding!

Unending Unmatched’s mail was beeping endlessly. One word from him caused dozens of items with special skills to come his way.

There was a grand selection of equipment with special skills, comprising of cloth, leather, plate, and mail armors. Unending Unmatched chose two pieces of plate armor from the bunch and returned the rest.

“I’ll be using two pieces without needing the rest. Thanks, guys!”

Unending Unmatched did not have a good reputation when he first joined Little Drunk Cat. He had been labeled as a traitor for such a long time, and it was only after they grew familiar with him that his reputation gradually improved.

Apart from being a hothead, Unending Unmatched had quite the moral standing. Of course, Li Yi would not have taken him into the guild if he had a bad character.

At the start of the second round, Unending Unmatched still did not wield his shield and activated Blood-curdling Attack to charge ahead.

Blood-curdling Attack was powerful but there was a constant decrease of HP as a side effect. It temporarily increased ATK by 20% as well as turned a normal attack into a double-bladed strike. In other words, a single attack would cause damage twice, ultimately doubling the attack power.

“Pft! Pft!”

Two Light Balls crashed on Ah Ye, exploding in unison, and dealing a -4,876 damage.

Turning visibly upset, Ah Ye unleashed a curse spell and swiftly retreated. He ran while casting a healing skill on himself. This was one of the many special effects of Sinful Angel Equipment Set, the ability to cast while in motion.

“Pft! Pft!”

Unending Unmatched was hot on his trail. Blood-curdling Attack only lasted for 20 seconds so he had to make every second count.

Still fleeing, Ah Ye cast heals on himself. Although the Light Balls were hitting him hard, his special ability to casting heals in motion neutralized the damage done.

Compared to the earlier match, Ah Ye was not able to maintain full HP, hovering around the 50% mark with a possibility of rising or falling at any given moment.

“Fatal Counter!”

Irascible, Unending Unmatched used the risky Fatal Counter.

With Unending Unmatched’s SPD enhanced and ATK boosted, Ah Ye’s HP quickly dropped to 30%.

“Pft! Pft!”

Unending Unmatched stuck on Ah Ye as he unleashed Light Balls and slashed hard with Blazing Judgment, dealing damage with both.

Double-bladed attack, one hit, four damages!

Running into the wrong position, Ah Ye had no place to evade when he was backed into a corner by Unending Unmatched, who was on a slicing frenzy.

“Pft! Pft! Pft! Pft! Pft!”

Ah Ye was down...

Unending Unmatched gasped for air and waited for over ten seconds before his HP plummeted to zero, slamming him straight to the ground.

With Fatal Counter’s special effect in effect, he died due to being devoured by the same power.

“What’s going on? With the pursuing target dead, shouldn’t I still be alive with 1 HP left?”

Just as Unending Unmatched was in a daze, a giant Holy Light angel descended from heaven and embraced Ah Ye who was lying on the ground. After a dazzling shimmer, the Holy Light angel disappeared while Ah Ye, stood up with full HP.

Unending Unmatched was completely gobsmacked.

“Resurrection after death? WTH is this?”

“F*ck me, I call foul!”

“WTF? Unfair!”

Chaos stirred below the stage with many unable to accept this result, voicing out protest with foul mouths.

“Simmer down, everyone. This is one of the special effects of the Sinful Angel Equipment Set...”

The host ran out to explain, further agitating the already uneasy crowd.

“Unfair! Unending Unmatched has already won this match!”

“Unfair!”

Shouts were roaring off the stage.

The real Fengxi sighed as he cast his gaze at the chaotic scene, “I shouldn’t have come to this place...”

“Third Brother, if you were the one who attacked, would this Ah Ye still be able to revive?”

Fengxi answered in a stern manner, “I don’t make my move easily but when I do, death is imminent.”

Scumbag Wang gave a thumbs up, “I knew it, Third Brother’s the best.”

Scumbag Wang added, “Third Brother, with awesome skills like yours, why didn’t you participate in this competition to take them all out?”

Fengxi answered with a rhetorical question, “If you’re an emperor, would you fight for a meal with a bunch of beggars?”

Scumbag Wang swallowed hard, “If I were an emperor, I’d make Sister Hua Hua my queen. This way, I’ll be able to look at her big white ass all day.”

The topic swung a different direction. He only heard the first half of Fengxi’s words and completely ignored the second half.

...

No matter how hard the audience found it to accept, Unending Unmatched’s defeat was a foregone conclusion.

Unending Unmatched made his exit while Ah Ye, the yellow-robed Priest went up in rank.

There was one match left out of the 6 elimination rounds and it was between Fake Fengxi and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

Due to Fake Fengxi’s spectacular performance in the earlier match, he, the dark horse gained a multitude of fans overnights. With many supporters, there was even one fan who asserted that perhaps the Brawl King Tournament’s crown would land on his head.

Li Yi struggled to barely secure a win while Fengxi, instantly killed his opponent with ease. It was obvious who was the better between the two.

“Come one, come all, the bets are up. I’ll bet my money on Fengxi; odds are 1 to 2!”

Autumn Love was in full spirit as she hollered.

The earlier loss was quite a blow to her, but she quickly picked up the pieces. This time, she had her eye on Fengxi to win. Without hesitation, she reopened the bets to profit from the crowd.

“Sister Autumn, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth has a body full of special skills. You may find yourself bankrupt if you play it like this,” A kind player gave her a word of advice.

“I’ll just sell my body if I go bankrupt. For having lived so long, I, Autumn Love, am not afraid of anything but losing,” Autumn Love had her mind fixed.

“Okay, if you say so. I’ll bet 100 thousand. Remember, if you wish to sell your body, come look for me first, haha...”

“Me too, 100 thousand on the same!”

“Come one, come all, don’t miss the chance to deflower me. Come and queue up.”

“You in the front, I’m in the back. You’re such a bro, all about the brotherhood! I’ll bet... 100 Gold Coins.”

With the crowd clamoring, it was not long before Autumn Love received over 20 million Gold Coins of gambling funds.

Back up on stage.

“I’ll draw near to you with Stealth, move to your left to Chisel, Scrape, and finish you with Split. You have a lot of HP, so you won’t die in one go but it’s okay, I’ll send you to kingdom come with a bomb.”

Fake Fengxi walked Tyrant Sword King the Fifth through his plan slowly, amusing Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

“If you’re able to kill me like you just described, I’ll personally gift you 2 million.”

Fake Fengxi dully answered, “Thank you.”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth paused for a bit before bursting into laughter.

The virtual scene displayed the information of both participants. There was still 60 seconds before the start of the match.

Fake Fengxi played with the dagger in his hand, gazed into the sky and waved his arm at his surroundings at times, but refused to look at Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

It was an act of insulting his opponent, it was like having his nose in the air.

When there was still 20 seconds left on the clock, Fake Fengxi told Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, “I’ll give you one last chance.”

“What last chance?”

“Voluntarily admit defeat and save yourself the embarrassment.”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth lost his mind.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The third sound of the gong marked the official start to the match!

“Tst —”

Fake Fengxi’s figure disappeared.

So, it was Stealth, huh?

Tyrant Sword King held his ground, cautiously observing his surroundings. It was then, came the System announcement.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth wins!

A player off the stage shouted out with surprise, “Nani? ¹ ”

“What’s going on? How did it end without a battle?”

“Wh—at the hell?”

Up on stage, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was confused, while off the stage, all players were confused.

It was then that, Fengxi walked onto the stage from below, apologizing to the crowd, “I’m sorry, I became light-headed from lifting my head too long and fell off the stage.”

“F*ck me...”
