VRMMO: The Unrivaled Chapter 1508

Chapter 1508: Gap

Roar!

A jet of flames shaped like a sharp blade penetrated through a crowd. It belonged to the Wind Severing Sword.

“Get lost!”

Tempest Shadow leaped toward Lin Yixin and swung his blade at her.

Lin Yixin fished out a dagger from her waist and parried the blow, but she was knocked back ten meters away from him because she lost her balance.

Hovering about one meter above the ground, she pointed the Wind Severing Sword toward the front and muttered, “Thundercloud Storm!”

Whoosh!

Scorching hot wind whipped wildly around her blade for a moment as the sky turned dark. Then, lightning, wind blades and icicles started raining from the sky and wounding every Candle Dragon player within a 1,000×1,000 yard area. It was a scene straight out of the apocalypse. This was the price of angering the Fruit Knife Goddess especially since she now wielded the Wind Severing Sword.

Candlelight Shadow and other players with over ten million HP weren’t pressured by the skill, but the same couldn’t be said for the healers of Candle Dragon. There were too many allies who needed rescuing from the skill, and they were simply incapable of outputting the HPS necessary to keep them alive. A thousand frontliners dropped dead in just the blink of an eye. A couple more attacks like that, and their frontline was sure to collapse.

“Keep it up, Beauty Wind! I’ll protect you!”

Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun cried while rushing toward Tempest Shadow and scoring a good hit!

Puchi!

702,884!

Blood erupted from the man’s wound as he instinctively backed away from his attacker. Smirking, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun followed up with a Rock Smash that sundered the earth itself!

1,102,395!

Tempest Shadow’s HP fell below 3 million in the blink of an eye. What an awkward situation for him!

He didn’t get a chance to improve it. Lin Yixin dashed past him like a lightning bolt and landed an Extreme Break with her dagger. Then, she turned around and stabbed him in the back with the Wind Severing Sword!

1,982,737!

Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun spurred his mount to leap into the air so he could bring his sword down on Tempest Shadow. His blow nearly cleaved the warrior in half and ended the life of the so-called god of Candle Dragon.

……

Thud!

Suddenly, another figure broke away from the frontline and rushed straight toward Lin Yixin. It was none other than Candlelight Shadow himself, his Divine Armament sword and Dragon Tooth Arm gleaming an intimidating light!

“Shit!”

Lin Yixin spun to face him with a hint of panic in her pupils. Candlelight Shadow was moving too quickly for her to prepare a proper response.

She pulled out her dagger and to parry Candlelight Shadow’s sword at the same time she thrust the Wind Severing Sword through his stomach. She was about to execute a Knockback Slash when Candlelight Shadow smirked and said, “Too bad, Beauty Lin! You guessed wrong!”

He cast Shattering Sword and Shield, the skill that couldn’t be parried or blocked!

Swhoosh!

Lin Yixin desperately tried to put some distance between herself and Candlelight Shadow as her dagger was knocked out of the way. Candlelight Shadow’s blade was less than 10 cm away from her chest, and if contact was made no one in the world could save her life.

Lin Yixin gritted her teeth and bent backward as much as she could. While doing so, she kicked Candlelight Shadow’s stomach with all her might!

Bang!

Her effort might not have been enough to save herself, but Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun arrived just in time to ram Candlelight Shadow with the Dragonscale Beast and slap Candlelight Shadow’s face with Triple Slash.

“Fuck you!”

Humiliated, Candlelight Shadow changed targets and struck the Dragonlight Cavalryman with his Shattering Sword and Shield instead.

20,174,184!

Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun let out a groan and died as a matter of course. He only had 9 million HP, so there was no chance he was going to survive Candlelight Shadow’s nonuple damage attack.

……

“Ugh…”

Lin Yixin panted heavily as she stared blankly at Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun’s dead body. The Dragonlight Cavalryman’s courageous action had saved her life. If it wasn’t for his intervention, there was an extremely high chance she would have been the one who was one-shot by Candlelight Shadow.

Bang!

She quickly broke out of her trance and kneed Candlelight Shadow hard in the chest. Then, she executed Ice Flame Slash + Freezing Purgatory combo that deleted another 3 million+ HP from Candlelight Shadow’s health bar. She tried bombarding the warrior with her God’s Tear while he retreated to safety, but she only managed to drop him to less than 30% HP before he reached the safety of his players. He smirked again and said, “We’ll meet again. Let’s see how many first-rate players I can kill before this battle is over!”

Lin Yixin wanted to give chase, but she was driven back by a dense volley of arrows. Helpless, she could only stomp her foot in anger and stare at Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun’s corpse with guilt.

Boom!

While tearing apart a group of Qiu Beast Cavalry, I said in the party channel, “Don’t feel guilty, Yiyi. You and Yun did the right thing in giving up his level to buy you more time on this battlefield. Let us continue. Candlelight Shadow is sure to return in 6 minutes, so all elite players are not to split up too far away from each other. I’m going to see if I can freeze Candlelight Shadow with Cold of the Nine Provinces. If I succeed, everyone is to hit him with everything they can. Candlelight Shadow has around 12 million HP and super-high Defense, and not even I can instakill him.”

He Yi, Gui Guzi, Chaos Moon and Lin Yixin all nodded in unison. “Got it!”

However, it turned out that Candlelight Shadow was even shrewder than we could imagine.

……

Six minutes later, when Candle Dragon’s formation threatened to collapse, Candlelight Shadow appeared on the frontline once more with his fire dragon.

“Go, Lian Xin! Freeze him with your Freezing Domain!”

I abruptly departed my original spot and flew toward Candlelight Shadow like a shot arrow. I couldn’t allow him to kill our first-rate experts any longer, or even if we won, the only ones who would survive this battle would be our executive-level players.

Lian Xin Blinked close to the frontline and waved her scepter. Freezing Domain had a 100% chance to freeze its target, so I was certain that Candlelight Shadow wouldn’t be able to escape it!

“Heh!”

However, while taking out a Dragonlight Cavalryman in passing, Candlelight Shadow downed a small green potion and surrounded himself with an ink green round shield. It actually prevented Lian Xin’s Freezing Domain from taking effect!

He Yi exclaimed in surprise, “It’s an Anti-Magic Potion! It was rumored that Candle Dragon recently recruited a high-rank alchemist, and it looks like it was true after all! Right now, they’re the only ones who know how to create the Anti-Magic Potion…”

The Anti-Magic Potion made its user immune to all magic and status conditions. It must be one of the reasons Candlelight Shadow felt confident enough to challenge us to battle!

“Die, Ancient Sword’s number one mage!”

Candlelight Shadow activated his Heavenly River Transformation and charged straight toward Lian Xin. It looked like he was a moment away from skewering her Telekinetic Shield with his blade!

Lian Xin calmly stomped her foot and summoned three Origin Force Fields!

Bang!

Candlelight Shadow slammed into the first Origin Force Field, but not the second or third. Exploiting the temporary flight ability granted by Heavenly River Transformation, he flew over her Origin Force Fields and slashed at her again.

……

Swhoosh!

I arrived just in time to cancel Candlelight Shadow’s deadly attack before leaping back into the air. Rising Cloud surrounded by a cyclone of blood-red Asura God energy, I dealt over 300k damage to Candlelight Shadow with a kick before raising my sword to launch my next attack. However, Candlelight Shadow caught the hilt of my sword in the blink of an eye and shoved us both toward the ground!

Buzz!

Our crash left a huge pit in the ground that was filled with deadly energy cyclones. Inside the pit, I stomped the ground and executed War Crush, causing Candlelight Shadow to lose a sizable chunk of HP. He hurriedly downed a health potion because he was afraid that I would kill him with the Xuanyuan Art.

Gui Guzi abruptly descended from the sky and slashed Candlelight Shadow’s back with the Ghostblade Halberd. However, the Martial God seemed to be prepared for this. The Dragon Tooth Arm suddenly shone brightly, and a giant axe manifested itself into existence. It was his SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Pangu’s Axe!

“Shit!”

Gui Guzi realized the danger, but Candlelight Shadow’s movement was far beyond his ability to react. Maybe Li Chengfeng or Lin Yixin could’ve pulled off an incredible technique or something to save themselves, but Gui Guzi wasn’t at their level yet. His decision was to activate Undying Shield, hide behind his shield and steel himself to receive a Dragon Tooth Arm–empowered Pangu’s Axe.

I groaned. It was said that a newborn calf didn’t fear the tiger, and right now Gui Guzi was that calf. He had no idea how terrifying Candlelight Shadow’s Dragon Tooth Arm was!

Pa!

I vanished from my original spot and appeared in between Candlelight Shadow and Gui Guzi in an instant. Then, I summoned my Asura God powers and attempted to save Gui Guzi’s life with my Domain. Red cracks that looked like tears in space appeared between us as I punched Candlelight Shadow in the chest!

Candlelight Shadow fell from the sky like a meteor and rolled unceremoniously across the ground at least a hundred meters before he finally came to a stop. My Strength completely outstripped his, and the power gap between a Divine Rank player and a ninth-promotion player was so that even a skill like the Pangu’s Axe could be interrupted.

……

“Don’t think you can kill anyone else while I’m around!” I said indifferently while staring at Candlelight Shadow.

Candlelight Shadow climbed to his feet, wiped away the bloodstain around his lips and smiled. “I guess I can’t really win until I’ve ascended to become a god…”

God’s Dance looked shocked at his defeat. “What do we do now?”

“We keep fighting until the last man and woman!”

“What about our equipment and levels?”

Candlelight Shadow burst out laughing. “We can always grind more equipment in the future, and losing levels is actually going to help us because we’ll have another shot and triggering an ascension when we hit Level 255 again, right[1]?”

God’s Dance beamed. “As expected of Candlelight Shadow!”

I watched them coolly as I raised my arm. “Trample them, Dragonlight Cavalry! Leave no one alive!”

……

The battle swung wildly in our favor after Xu Yang, Du Thirteen and more arrived with 100k+ elite reinforcements, not to mention Purple Marquis’s 200k Snowy Cathaya elites. Their 70k Dragon Punisher Archers especially put on a great showing by countering Warsky Alliance’s Gold Cavalry almost perfectly under Nangong Lexi’s leadership. Warsky could only gawk at the scene in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Little Piglet’s Dark Mercenaries and Purgatory Mad Dragon’s main guild had been teleported into the exclusive battlefield to fight out a massive 100k versus 100k battle after 60 minutes had passed. This was his chance to wipe out Purgatory Mad Dragon’s main guild once and for all!

1. E/N: No, it might as well be a flag that you already failed to trigger. It would be a shitty design to have it reset every time you fall back to 254. But other than that, it’s perfectly consistent with Candlelight Shadow. He doesn’t care he loses, he looks for a way to make this into a positive. He lost Gold and Silver cities, so he turned the Tamer city into Lantern Girl Legion. ☜
