“What a sad coincidence.”
“Yeah.”
Li Yi and The Mountain walked up the ring. They were both feeling helpless about the situation.
The Mountain pointed his Orange Quality Quarterstaff at the ground and soon the Swamp King emerged beneath his feet.
The Mountain nodded. “We can begin.”
Li Yi also nodded, signaling the start of the battle.
Bp! Bp! Bp!
Li Yi drew his bow to fire three arrows right at The Mountain’s face.
There could only be one victor in the battlefield. As the loser would be out, Li Yi did not show any mercy.
The Mountain tumbled onto the ground. Szh szh szh. The three arrows missed.
Gurgle gurgle gurgle…
The Swamp King’s body began to expand. A Level 200 Swamp King had reached its peak when it came to its HP and body size.
The Mountain swung his quarterstaff. “Soul Staff Technique!”
Bp!
[-1]
A damage in white font popped out of Li Yi’s head.
Soul Staff Technique was titled the trashiest skill in the whole King of Pantheon, dealing the lowest damage among all classes. There was, however, an advantage to this skill. As long as the target was within range, there was no escaping.
“Come out, Shapeshifting Tree!”
Another summon beast was summoned by The Mountain.
This guy was mad. Natural Summoners, under normal circumstances were only permitted to summon one summon beast at a time to aid in battle, yet this guy had summoned two.
“Dark Wing, your Orange Quality Bow can be upgraded. Well, so can my Orange Quality Quarterstaff. Watch my Triple Summons!”
“Come out, Dark King!”
A pitch-black summon beast was summoned by The Mountain. Three summon beasts at the same time!
Li Yi waved his arm to summon Dolly.
The Swamp King was still expanding, the Shapeshifting Tree was spreading its Exploding Seeds while the Dark King was unleashing a vast damaging dark mist. The three summon beasts working together were unbelievably powerful.
It looked like The Mountain was also being serious this time.
“God Mode!”
“True Overlord Arrow!”
Tst tst tst —
Li Yi fired three True Overlord Arrows at the Swamp King, Shapeshifting Tree, and Dark King to counteract their attacks.
The Swamp King stopped expanding, the Shapeshifting Tree burned in crackling fire while the Dark King howled as the dark mist it spread began to shrink.
“True Overlord Arrow!”
True Overlord Arrow’s ATK range was 90 degrees in front. This skill had a heavy pushing force and could be fatal to opponents who were not familiar with how to defend against it.
Although The Mountain only had one exchange with Li Yi, he had been studying Li Yi in detail.
That he was an expert was no exaggeration. The Mountain was not coined the Legendary Summoner by the public for nothing.
He swayed his body and, Poof!, turned into a tiny thumb-sized human. He crawled into the Swamp King and disappeared…
Li Yi’s True Overlord Arrows had struck the three summon beasts but not The Mountain.
“Shooting Star Arrow Hail!”
As the dark mist, swamp, and seeds started to stretch his way, Li Yi made a quick decision to unleash a Shooting Star Arrow Hail in preparation to wipe out these three summon beasts in one go.
Li Yi’s Shooting Star Arrow Hail had the ability to instantly kill bosses. The Mountain’s three summon beasts may have high HP but they were powerless against this destructive skill. Two rounds of Shooting Star Arrow Hails killed all three summon beasts.
The Swamp King went droopy, the Dark King liquidated into a mass of black oil while the Shapeshifting Tree was burned to ashes by the Phoenix Flames.
Only, The Mountain was still missing in action!
Li Yi’s brows were tied up in a knot.
“Territory Release!”
A golden Chrono Territory was released, engulfing half the hall.
All Territories came with Sensing capability and Chrono Territory was no exception. Along with God Mode’s Sensory, Li Yi was confident, even with BB East’s Stealth, he could easily spot their locations.
However, the situation at hand did not seem right…
Chrono Territory had covered the entire ring but the location The Mountain was hiding in had yet to be uncovered.
A minute and a half of time had passed. They were halfway through the duel…
“Shoot at Random!”
Bp bp bp bp bp bp bp…
Arrows filled the room. As Li Yi was unable to detect where The Mountain was, he attempted Shoot at Random to force him to appear.
Bada! Bada! Bada!
The arrows fired fell to the ground and had not hit their target. The Mountain was still hiding.
A minute and 54 seconds had passed. Li Yi was going ballistic over The Mountain’s disappearance.
This old guy was playing dirty. He whipped him with Soul Staff Technique before hiding like a coward. The way it looked, he was planning to repeat the same procedure as BB East scheming against Amber Sword Heart.
Off stage, BB East nodded with emotion. “Boss still has his own style. It’s good to learn from him.”
Li Yi had seen many boorish tactics in his lifetime, but it was his first witnessing the shamelessness of taking-1-HP-before-hiding.
“Shameless! How shameless! I object!” Chen Yang raised his Orange Quality Scepter and screamed at the top of his lungs.
God-queen Carulla pointed her full moon scepter. “You mortals shall keep it quiet or I’ll strip you of your right to participate.”
“F*ck… You’re the boss.” Fatty glared resentfully at Carulla but stopped.
“How shameless, how can he do so?”
Qian’er was also displeased but she did not run her mouth. Instead, she widened her huge bright eyes to search for The Mountain’s hiding spot.
“True Overlord Arrow!”

On stage, Li Yi kept firing his Orange Quality Bow. Front, back, left, right, up, and down. He was firing in all directions…
The Weapon Warrior shouted, “Twenty more seconds on the clock before the round ends.”
“F*ck!” Chen Yang off the stage cussed.
It was then that Li Yi leaped and unleashed Shoot at Random while in the air.
Bp bp bp bp bp bp bp…
Several thousand arrows were fired in all directions, blanketing the entire ring.
Only, the sneaky Summoner, The Mountain seemed to have completely vanished. Try as Li Yi might, not a peep was heard from him.
The Mountain hid really well and by the looks of it, he would not appear until time ran out.
“No way…”
“OMG, is… is this the first annual God Wars’ biggest turn of events?”
“Oh mother, is Dark Wing going to lose?”
“… I’m speechless.”
The other God Wars participants were in shock. It was their first time witnessing such a play. A boorish Summoner like this was beyond their imagination.
Who would have thought the guy would hide after taking 1 HP?
All the more unusual was that Li Yi’s attack could cover the entire stage. However, such an attack had not drawn out The Mountain out. This… was beyond everyone’s belief.
“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2…”
At the end of the countdown, Li Yi’s hand gripping the bow went limp.
Suddenly, a thumb-sized golden-plated beast jumped out of the ground. Poof! It turned into The Mountain.
The Mountain curled his lips at Li Yi. “Mutated Armadimon Possession. It was a slip of the tongue earlier; my Orange Quality Quarterstaff skill was not Triple Summons but Quadruple Summons.”
“Sh…” The room fell silent.
…
