Chapter 750 - The Half Time Part 1
“Gungnir!” Frey shouted.
“Devil’s Torrent!” Vepar stated.
Frey thrusted her spear forward and the multi-colored light that she gathered became an attack that extended the reach of her spear. Vepar, on the other hand, used all the water that he could muster to create water tridents that came flying towards Frey.
The attack of the two clashed against one another and a blinding light ensued that blocked every person’s vision including that of the audience. An air of silence surrounded the stadium as they waited for the result of who really won.
The blinding light that blocked the vision of the audience made their heart tremble. They wanted the vision of the fight to return as they needed to see the conclusion of the clash between the two great beauties. They needed to see who ultimately the winner is as there is a hidden betting currently going on.
The hidden betting is centered on who is the best female and male players in Pandemonium. The betting pool for that title is even fiercer than the individual battle bets that are on-going. The bets are fierce because the fan clubs of each player are basically going to war against each other on the forums.
The developers needed a way to moderate the intense arguments of the people which is why they decided on this ranking bet. It is similar to the country bet on who will win but this is centered on individuals that are fighting in the events.
The score will be tallied depending on the performance of each candidate. The scoring will be analytical which means that no bias will be implemented that greatly ignited the passion of every fan. The voting pool for the female player is much more intense than that of the male player pool.
The light finally cleared, and everyone could see the result of the clash. They saw Frey being pierced by water tridents on her left shoulder and right thigh, but she could still stand up. The other party is not that good as a hole could be seen on Vepar’s stomach. Another hole could be seen on Cersei’s lower right abdomen. 𝓁𝒾𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝓂
“To think that a Valkyrie as young as you managed to pierce my body despite it not being weak. I will remember you, Valkyrie Frey. My dear, Cersei, you have tried your very best despite being at a disadvantage. Summon me again near water and I will surely lay waste to any who stand before you.” Vepar stated as his figure suddenly turned into liquid and seeped into the sand.
Cersei stood there for a second, but she ultimately fell to the ground and became particles of light. The water tridents piercing Frey did not hold their shape and became shapeless. The water tridents became liquid and seeped back into the sand like what happened to the aspect of the Devil God Vepar.
Frey heaved a sigh of relief and retrieved the flag from the base of the Ukraine National Team. Loud cheers erupted in the stadium as they witnessed the conclusion of an epic fight between two of the hottest female players in Pandemonium.
No one even dared to mock Cersei as she did not give up despite the odds stacked against her. If someone would actually bash her, people would defend her until the bashing post is deleted. The fact that Frey is almost beaten by Cersei is definitely shocking to the world.
It just goes to show that many of the rankers do not show their best skills on streams. They are extremely shocked that Cersei could summon a devil god because they do not know that they really existed. The lore fanatics of Pandemonium started to create theories on the things that have come to light.
Frey thought to herself that she is actually lucky that the devil god is not that powerful, and they are not near water. She really thought that she would lose if she did not use one of her most powerful skills that penetrated defenses. Gungnir is not a skill that she wanted to use in the first half, but Cersei forced her to do so.
The cooldowns of their skills will not be reset when they enter the second round since, they will just be teleported back to their bases. As she is walking away, the player that she sent flying earlier tried to retrieve their team’s flag, but he could not hold a candle to Frey’s attacks.
Even with Frey heavily damaged, he could not land a heavy blow on her without Cersei’s support. This just goes to show how heavily debuffed Frey was when Cersei applied her hexes and curses on her. She made quick work of the warrior player before returning to her team’s base flag.
Cersei’s other team members returned to the base when their flag became a point and also to turn the flag that they get as a point. They also needed to know what happened to the defending team and got shocked that Frey waltz by herself here in their base and the two of them could not stop her.
“It is my fault. I was not a great defender compared to Cersei.” The warrior player stated as he knew that he was outmatched by Frey.
“It is not your fault because we do not have a natural disaster or the ambush of other teams to aid us. I tried my best as well and try to keep some of my cards hidden but Frey did not hold back on us. At least, she will not be able to use that deadly skill again in the second round.” Cersei stated as she looked at their team’s captain who is unable to speak.
“It is my fault for antagonizing her team. I am sorry in that regard. We also heard that she hit all the five teams that ganged up on her. She showed them no mercy in getting their flags.” The Ukraine team leader stated.
“That is fine. It is not that bad as we only lost one point. The first half is now over anyways. Let us discuss our next tactic during lunch.” Cersei stated as she is now burning with desire to win after losing.. It is a feeling that she never thought that she would have as she is not the competitive type of person.
