Chapter 1084 - 1084 Death Battle
1084 Death Battle
Huang Yuan’s speed didn’t appear to be very fast, at least not so fast that it couldn’t be tracked with the naked eye.
However, Huang Yuan’s steps seemed to be filled with a special rhythm. His seemingly slow speed combined with ingenious steps allowed him to successfully dodge Bernie Galt’s arrow feathers each time.
This situation was undeniably in favor of Huang Yuan.
Bernie Galt had a two-star advantage in combat strength, but he couldn’t utilize it effectively, failing to land a hit on Huang Yuan.
As a result, there was practically no difference in strength between the two of them.
When Huang Yuan got close to Bernie Galt and launched a close-range attack, Bernie Galt might not have been a match for Huang Yuan.
Huang Yuan was also thinking about this. He quickened his pace and avoided the dense arrows while continuing to close the distance between him and Bernie Galt.
However, when the distance was reduced to a few hundred meters, Huang Yuan could get close to Bernie Galt with a few more steps.
Bernie Galt’s aura suddenly changed, and the weapon in his hand changed. He changed to a Bow and Arrow on the spot.
Bernie Galt’s original Bow and Arrow was of regular size, rated as an S-grade weapon. However, the weapon he now wielded was colossal, nearly as large as Bernie Galt himself, and classified as an SS-grade weapon.
Apart from the weapon switch, the most surprising factor was Bernie Galt’s remarkable surge in aura.
Without delay, Bernie Galt resumed firing arrows. This time, there was a significant difference. His arrow feathers were not only more potent but also notably faster.
Furthermore, Bernie Galt’s arrow feathers were much denser, nearly blanketing the entire area where Huang Yuan stood, forming a relentless barrage.
Witnessing this, Lu Dajiang and the others in the audience were deeply astonished.
“This is bad,” Lu Dajiang exclaimed. “Bernie Galt unexpectedly reached a 19-star combat strength at some point. His strength has increased significantly!”
Wei Feng’s expression grew more serious. “This guy is quite cunning. He deliberately concealed his strength when initially clashing with Huang Yuan. It was only when the distance between them closed that he unveiled his genuine power, with some hidden agenda in mind.”
Upon hearing Wei Feng’s analysis, Ning Shanshan’s countenance changed. “Are you suggesting that Bernie Galt deliberately concealed his strength to let Huang Yuan approach him?”
“Exactly.” Wei Feng nodded in agreement. “In the recent battle, it might have seemed like Huang Yuan was successfully closing in on Bernie Galt. However, in reality, Bernie Galt was intentionally allowing Huang Yuan to get closer. Only after the distance had been reduced could he unleash a blanket attack. At this point, Huang Yuan can, at best, evade Bernie Galt’s concentrated attacks, but he cannot move forward. Even retreating is not an option, how can he move in any specific direction?”
When Liu Yan and the others heard this, they observed the situation in the arena, confirming that it matched Wei Feng’s analysis.
Once Bernie Galt revealed his true strength, it became increasingly challenging for Huang Yuan to evade his concentrated attacks.
In the present moment, Huang Yuan was exerting himself to dodge Bernie Galt’s dense barrage of arrow feathers. It was already impressive that he could evade them at all. There was no possibility of moving in any specific direction.
Bernie Galt had deliberately allowed Huang Yuan to approach him.
At this range, Huang Yuan still couldn’t attack Bernie Galt. However, as the distance closed, Bernie Galt’s attacks became shorter, faster, and more challenging to dodge. Moreover, Bernie Galt’s range was extensive, completely covering the direction of Huang Yuan’s potential retreat.
If Bernie Galt had initially revealed his true strength, it would have been challenging for Huang Yuan to get close, but he could have withdrawn and adopted guerrilla tactics, making it difficult for Bernie Galt to attack him. In that scenario, Huang Yuan could have worn down Bernie Galt to some extent.
Yet, it was clear that Bernie Galt had anticipated this situation, choosing to deliberately conceal his strength and allow Huang Yuan to approach him.
The moment Huang Yuan reached a specific distance, it became the prime time for an attack.
It was an inconvenient distance for Huang Yuan but the ideal one for Bernie Galt.
Bernie Galt didn’t have to worry about being attacked by Huang Yuan, and he found it more convenient to attack Huang Yuan from a medium distance. Simultaneously, his range covered the distance Bernie Galt needed for retreat.
Huang Yuan, currently struggling to evade Bernie Galt’s arrow onslaught, was immobilized. He couldn’t advance or withdraw.
At this moment, Huang Yuan was trapped in a predicament.
He couldn’t move forward, and he couldn’t retreat. He stood there, awaiting his defeat.
After all, evading the arrows for only a brief period, could he continue dodging them?
The arrows shot by Bernie Galt were incredibly powerful. A single hit on Huang Yuan would virtually signify the end of this battle!
At this moment, Huang Yuan seemed to have only two choices.
One option was to endure for as long as possible, which could help deplete Bernie Galt to some extent. Although the impact might be limited, it would still be a contribution. Then, Huang Yuan could eventually admit defeat and leave the arena.
The other choice, for the sake of safety, was for Huang Yuan to concede immediately and exit the field to prevent sustaining severe injuries.
Lu Dajiang sighed with frustration. “Bernie Galt is truly cunning. By deliberately concealing his true strength and revealing it only when the distance closed in, he intends to minimize the drain on himself and eliminate Huang Yuan as swiftly as possible.”
Wei Feng shared this sentiment, “Huang Yuan is in a tight spot now. It’s only a matter of time until he admits defeat. Let alone defeating Bernie Galt, Huang Yuan can’t outlast him.”
Ning Shanshan tightened her grip on her staff, saying, “It appears that, in order to defeat Bernie Galt later, our group will need to give it our all.”
Liu Qingrou remained relatively composed, remarking, “Don’t worry. We’ll do our best from here.”
As for Murong Xue, Ye Yifan, and Luo Wei, this marked their first experience with a single territory battle. They were also witnessing the strength and cunning of their opponents for the first time.
Even though the elves on the opposing side were familiar faces, they were resourceful and capable of devising various strategies to win battles.
Had their opponents been different, they would have likely sought ways to eliminate members of Team Origin, making it quite challenging to defend against.
Luo Wei acknowledged, “It appears that Huang Yuan will eventually have to admit defeat. It’s just a matter of time.”
Murong Xue concurred, “Huang Yuan won’t be able to withstand a difference of three stars in combat strength. He should sustain minor injuries now to prevent severe ones.”
Alan Smith commented, “I think Huang Yuan won’t admit defeat immediately. He might still have some ideas.”
Upon hearing Allen Smith’s comment, the group found it somewhat surprising, considering the potential risks involved.
But when he thought about it, wasn’t Huang Yuan like this?
How could Huang Yuan admit defeat so as not to be injured and only protect himself?
Huang Yuan’s personality was very competitive.
Even in this situation where there seemed to be no chance, Huang Yuan might still think of a way to break out of this situation.
