Chapter 482: Just How Many Winged Champions Are There?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Six-eyed Moth sent out a huge blast of Shadow-type Tier 5 AoE Magic Attack, painting every visible thing in darkness. The spectators were essentially blinded right then, and they had no idea that the tables had turned—no one knew. As their eyesight gradually recovered... the arrogant and confident Psycho Demon, having lost his Angelic Wings, stood in the spot where Qin Ruo stood earlier.
Even though Qin Ruo’s shield had been broken, he was able to escape Psycho Demon’s fatal sword skills, and he appeared five meters away from the Six-eyed Moth with his Angelic Wings stretched out...
One of them was in the sky while the other was on the ground. The tables had turned in terms of geography and circumstances. The spectators were amazed, seeing all that happening before their eyes.
“It’s over for Psycho Demon.”
***
Psycho Demon felt so disheartened. Although he knew that Qin Ruo would be able to evade his fatal attacks, he did not anticipate him to retaliate so intensely instead of flee—Qin Ruo had decided to teleport forward and appear behind Psycho Demon despite no longer having the protection of his shield!
Whoosh!
His skill in utilizing the teleportation magic skill, Wind Drift, surpassed even that of Black Rock’s and Thor’s.
Without showing the slightest anger, he accurately appeared before the Six-eyed Moth and promptly dished out his attacks. That instant, a splinter of lightning flashed across the stormy sky above the Ruins.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Poochie attacked again.
This time, he multiplied himself from one to four Poochies—Shadow Clone!
Four golden rays of light struck the Six-eyed Moth, which did not have time to react.
Psycho Demon’s face turned pale as he turned around...
“Oh f*ck!”
The Level 50 Shadowfox succeeded in ambushing the Level 50 Six-eyed Moth; its Stun Effects were multiplied to a long-lasting and shocking nine seconds!
There was something else that upset him more though... After Qin Ruo sent Poochie to shoot down the Six-eyed Moth, he charged up a volley of Lycan Barrage while he hovered in the air. Then he released them on the diving Moth, entirely ignoring Psycho Demon.
Pom! Pom! Pom!
The unlucky Six-eyed Moth, still stunned, dove right into the ground, losing a whopping 5,000 HP after being hit by a single volley of Lycan Barrage...
Once the Moth was defeated, Qin Ruo concentrated his Mana to reconstruct the Lycan Barrage from the resulting splashes of water around the fallen monster. There was about to be another round of Lycan Barrage again!
“Stop!
“I give up!”
With a grim look on his face, Psycho Demon quickly surrendered when Qin Ruo was about to kill off his Six-eyed Moth. Despite being an unruly person, the Moth had been his only companion from the day he became a solo player. He could not bear to see it die.
Besides, Qin Ruo had now gained the upper hand...
Psycho Demon’s Angelic Wings had been damaged and needed another ten seconds to reactivate. The Six-eyed Moth was stunned for nine seconds, losing its offensive capabilities in front of the airborne Qin Ruo.
Defeat was imminent!
Why would he allow his Six-eyed Moth to die and have it dip by ten levels? He was a solo player—training a Pet from Level 40 to 50 was not an easy task.
***
Qin Ruo did not expect Psycho Demon to submit at the very last minute. He thought the unruly madman did not care about anyone, much less a Pet...
Just as the Six-eyed Moth was almost at the brink of death, Qin Ruo could hear a dip of concern in Psycho Demon’s voice. He quickly dissolved his Lycan Barrage in surprise and looked intently at Psycho Demon, who was hurrying over to the Six-eyed Moth.
Then...
“Purify!”
Violet Orchid, riding her Mutated Violetfox, entered the arena as well and helped Psycho Demon’s Pet recover from the Stun Effect.
Qin Ruo nodded at her with a smile, understanding what she was trying to do.
If the Six-eyed Moth woke up on its own from the nine-second Stun, Poochie’s impressive Shadow Clone attributes would then be widely known and shared on the online forum. It had only been four seconds, therefore, ending its Stun now would make it difficult for others to guess its full effects.
And she was right.
Remorseless Warrior and his crew were actively observing the duration of the Stun Effect on the Six-eyed Moth. A frown swept across their faces when the Stun was lifted.
“That woman... She’s good.”
“Of course... That’s the Radiant Priest who recruited a lot of members from Scarlet Bauhinia and reformed the Bauhinia Clan. It’s expected of her.”
Remorseless Warrior stared at her as she returned to the opposite lineup, and replied, “I mean, she was quick to react. She was able to aid Qin Ruo in that limited amount of time... The Fallen Angels and Bauhinia Clan... Just what kind of relationship do the two Clans have? She and Qin Ruo too; what kind of relationship do they have?”
***
“I lost this time...”
“But! I won’t give up. Just you wait! I’ll be back when I’m at Tier 6 for a rematch!”
Psycho Demon reactivated his Angelic Wings and hovered towards Qin Ruo. “And thank you for sparing my Pet. I owe you one.”
Right after he finished his words, Psycho Demon threw out a Return Scroll and left the Aricus Underground Ruins, leaving streams of discussions among the spectating players.
“Psycho Demon versus Winter Demon, and Psycho Demon lost.” It would be a great headline!
***
After he heard what Psycho Demon said, the still-airborne Qin Ruo could not help but smile wryly.
He would be back for a rematch when he reached Tier 6?
That promise was a little too big to make!
Getting from Level 50 to 51 would require at least one hundred million Experience Points. Even if he went to the Buried City to grind for EXP, it would take days without logging off... Leveling up would only get harder as one’s level rose. He personally did not care to level up yet for sure.
Qin Ruo turned around and glided onto the ground. Then he spoke to Gorfer, who was standing in the distance.
“All right, there’s no one disturbing us now. Let’s proceed with our duel.”
While he was talking to Gorfer, he shed his damaged Frostbarrier and switched to a new one.
However, another person walked out from the opponent’s side—it was that Summoner, who could take on a Tier 5 Megaboss alone.
“Umm, about this third round... We forfeit.”
“Huh?”
The Summoner, having seen Qin Ruo’s confusion, shrugged and explained, “Look, you could defeat someone as strong as Psycho Demon. Gorfer certainly would not stand a chance against you... I’ll be the combatant for the fourth round. Leader Qin, please send out your combatant for the fourth round too.”
***
“They forfeited?!”
As Qin Ruo returned to his teammates, everyone gathered around in confusion.
“Well, that Berserker was sent out to lose in the first place. If the duel actually takes place, he’ll be defeated in just mere seconds. That would be too humiliating.”
“This time our opponent is a Summoner. So, who should we send out?”
The fourth round was a tough one. Their opponent was a formidable foe, and they had no idea what kind of Pet he owned, or what kind of Summoned Beast he would use. The tide of the battle could change drastically.
Tier 5 Summoners could summon Unique Monsters; their attacks could also become varied after they fused with Mythical Beasts. His attacks could be physical, magical, or even speedy. Regardless, higher-tier Summoners usually opted for an extreme build when it came to their character development. Therefore, even though their offensive abilities were highly powerful, their weaknesses were also highly obvious.
If they chose a combatant with the wrong Class, they could face a higher chance of defeat.
Even if Qin Ruo did not really intend to humiliate the Executors by beating them to a pulp, he also hoped that no one on his team had to lose.
“I’ll go.”
“No, I’ll go!”
When Qin Ruo was considering his options, Snowleaf and Dinosaurcerer both volunteered to fight. Both of them were Summoners; the former being a Water-type while the latter a Shadow-type.
“You guys?”
Qin Ruo frowned. He did not have time to assess their capabilities after their rank-ups. In other words, if he sent either one of them to duel with that Summoner, he would be sending them in blind. Besides, the Summoner was someone who could take on a Tier 5 Megaboss alone. It was very risky.
However, Dinosaurcerer seemed determined this time...
“Come on, Snowleaf. Leave this one to me. This is the second time I’ve volunteered... Pretty please? I’ll get you some Tier 5 Boss Monster Summoning Mana Cores in return, okay? Okay! I knew you were the kindest in this team here... Right, it’s a deal then. “As he was talking to Snowleaf, he quickly ran into the arena.
Qin Ruo and the rest were extremely tongue-tied.
“Sh*t!”
“Hey, Dino! You sure you can take this guy on? You’ll get slaughtered.”
Qin Ruo sent a private message over to him.
“Heh, just you watch. If the opponent isn’t an Elementalist, it’ll just be a piece of cake,” Dinosaurcerer replied excitedly as he stepped into the arena.
“Ha, how cocky! What if you get defeated?”
“Then how about a bet? If I win, tomorrow you’ll treat me and the rest of my colleagues in the Finance Department to a meal. If I lose, I’ll do the same for you and the others in the Human Resources Department.”
“Okay!”
Qin Ruo could not help but curiously ponder Dinosaurcerer’s confidence. ‘Let’s see if this clown can handle his foe...’
“It’s a deal then!”
As he uttered that, Dinosaurcerer spread out his snowy Angelic Wings and whooshed up into the sky!
The Summoner, who was up at that point, applauded Dinosaurcerer’s courage. He was stunned as he saw him fly up with his wings...
The other Executors were also in shock!
Qin Ruo, Homme Fatale, Black Rock, Apocalypse, and also that newly-ranked-up Aquamancer, Xiaoxiao—there were already five winged Champions on the Winter Demon’s side. That was usually unheard of. It was unusual for huge Clans or even the Leagues in the old days.
Yet, here he was...
The sixth winged Champion!
Damn.
‘Just how many Winged Champions are there in his thirteen-member team?’
Remorseless Warrior and his crew turned purple in the face.
***
In the meantime, Qin Ruo and his gang held a great feeling of disdain and concern for Dinosaurcerer as he revealed his Angelic Wings.
He could have used his Angelic Wings as an element of surprise...
Who would use it so profusely?
“This Dino...”
Black Rock and the others were so pissed. Meanwhile, Qin Ruo, Violet Orchid and Homme Fatale were looking on at Dinosaurcerer, who was flying above the dark sky above the Ruins. They had a weird twitch in their eyes.
