Chapter 91 - The Most Crucial Fourth Match
Chapter 91: The Most Crucial Fourth Match
As night fell, White Deer Giant Stadium became brightly lit.
The spectators watched the matches for a whole day, never growing tired. They continued cheering and chanting. As waves of people rose and fell, loud voices arose in the stadium.
Sixteen twenty-meter high arenas appeared, brightly lit in the stadium. At that moment, spectators surrounded Arena 9. Never before had Moss received so many spectators.
However, the spectators were there to watch Deng Lun instead of Moss. Still, there were only half the amount of people at Arena 9 compared to White’s match.
With the sound of ten earth-shaking drums, the final stage of the individual Player Kill competition began. At the center of Arena 9, Deng Lun and Moss stood seven to eight meters apart and looked at each other.
Deng Lun’s eyes were full of disdain, while Moss’s eyes shone brilliantly. After a short moment, Deng Lun took the lead and made the first move.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Deng Lun accurately threw several glass vials filled with red liquid into the twenty-meter square arena.
Arena 9 was shrouded in red smoke as the vials hit the ground. The spectators could only vaguely see Moss’s and Deng Lun’s silhouettes due to the thick smoke.
“Ah!”
The spectators flinched as the smoke continued to spread across the arena.
Squeak! Squeak!
A mechanical sound echoed. Then a transparent cover, blocking the red smoke, appeared around Arena 9 and its surrounding area.
Seeing as the red smoke wouldn’t affect them, the spectators returned to their seats one after another. Then, a heated discussion broke out among the spectators.
“The Knight is in big trouble now!”
“A Holy Alchemist’s red poison gas can even affect a level twenty Magical Beast, let alone a Knight!”
“Deng Lun is planning to kill the Knight, leaving him no escape!”
“The match isn’t going to end just like this, right?”
Just when the spectators thought that the match was about to end, something dramatic happened in the arena.
The poison gas gradually gathered into an enormous vortex on Moss’s arena side. A figure held two shields in the vortex and spun rapidly like a propeller. The figure was Moss. The spectators were shocked to see Moss’s creativeness.
A moment later, one of the spectators shouted, “Wow! Moss is a genius!”
Only then did the other spectators wake up from their shock. The spectating area also exploded with comments.
“The Knight’s shields are amazing!”
“That Knight is insanely strong! He neutralized the terrifying poison gas by creating a vortex with his shield!”
“He’s such a genius to come up with such a creative counter-measure despite falling into a desperate situation!
The cheers and chants among the spectators continued as the stands became even more lively. Many of the spectators joined together in chanting Moss’s name. Moss’s name reverberated throughout the stadium for the first time.
Moss’s creativity shocked Deng Lun, but he immediately regained his senses. Deng Lun knew that Moss could sweep his poison gas away, but he would have to inhale some of it, accelerating its effects.
At this thought, Deng Lun seized this fleeting opportunity and rushed toward Moss. He quickly threw a few black vials at Moss about five meters away.
Moss dared not be careless at the sight of the black vials flying toward him. He dodged around, and although he successfully dodged the black vials, he was hit by a shockwave from the exploding black vials a moment later. Moss flew backward as he held his shield.
Deng Lun saw that his attack failed, so he threw a few more vials at Moss as he ran. However, he threw green vials alongside the black ones.
Moss knew that those vials contained paralyzing potions, so he dared not make direct contact with them.
As Moss continued to dodge Deng Lun’s various vials, he realized that Deng Lun had won all of his matches with just his potions and his agile and nimble movements. Moss knew that it would be challenging to defeat his opponent with one strike due to Deng Lun’s agility.
‘That’s it! I got it!’ Moss roared in his heart. Then he gradually slowed down his dodging and counterattacking.
Deng Lun wondered why his red poison hadn’t taken effect when he saw Moss start to slow down. He couldn’t help but laugh. He shouted at Moss, “Hahaha! There’s no escape for you this time, Knight!”
Then Deng Lun took the initiative to launch an attack on Moss.
Moss noticed this and conveniently set up a shield to block Deng Lun’s two-star short sword. Then, he summoned two more shields with a somersault and trapped Deng Lun on both sides.
Moss used three shields. One on each of Deng Lun’s sides and one on his back. Deng Lun knew that something was wrong and was shocked by Moss’s agility.
Deng Lun broke out in cold sweat. ‘He’s not poisoned?! He tricked me by deliberately slowing down! How is that possible?!’
“Thunderstrike!”
Moss noticed that Deng Lun was in shock, so he immediately activated his Thunderstrike and slashed at Deng Lun with all his might.
Since Deng Lun was in a daze, he missed the opportunity to dodge Moss’s attack. Deng Lun saw Moss’s sword slashing toward him but had nowhere to hide. He could only brace for impact.
Since Deng Lun was a Holy Alchemist, he couldn’t withstand Moss’s attack, which possessed five thousand kilograms of force.
Deng Lun couldn’t hold on any longer when the two swords collided. His two-star short sword fell to the ground as his arms seemed to have shattered, almost losing consciousness.
Previously, Deng Lun lost control of his body when trying to escape Moss’s trap. At the same time, a bone-chilling sword appeared before his neck.
Anger filled Deng Lun’s eyes as he was unwilling and frustrated. However, he could only admit defeat. He gritted his teeth and said, “I lose, Moss.”
As Deng Lun had admitted defeat, the referee immediately announced Moss as the victor. The directors in the VIP viewing area, various schools, and the audience were stunned at that moment.
“W-What?! How is that possible?!”
“Moss defeated Deng Lun?!”
“A Holy Alchemist lost against a Knight?!”
No one dared believe what happened before their eyes. After a short moment of disbelief, thunderous applause and earth-shaking cheers echoed from every corner of the stadium.
Moss’s name echoed through the sky above White Deer Giant Stadium.
