Chapter 154: Clutch King versus Warhead Iron
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Hammer wielder, tell me your name. Your ruler shall now kill a nameless player.”
“Hah, the one in front of you is the strongest player from Kesha City, Warhead Iron.”
“Or are you a bear? I think your breed is a d*mn bear.”
“I’ll beat you to the ground in a while. Let’s see how you’ll continue to chatter like a monkey.”
“It’s not certain who will win or lose.”
The tense atmosphere heightened, and both sides picked up their weapons to guard against each other’s movements.
Snow Chaser walked to Li Yi’s side, a little worried. She could tell that the hammer in the other party’s hand was not of a simple weapon; there were runes engraved on it. At the very least, it had been forged, which meant that this hammer was at least a flawless grade and above.
Li Yi saw through Snow Chaser’s worry and patted her on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry, the opponent’s class should be a Guardian Warrior like mine, and he’s heavily guarded. No one in Emperor City can catch up to Clutch King’s speed, so he has the advantage.”
Hearing Li Yi’s words, Snow Chaser’s expression softened a little, but she was still a little worried. After all, Li Yi was also a Guardian Warrior, but Clutch King had never died by Li Yi’s hands before. It was not Clutch King’s fault; Li Yi was just too abnormal. As long as Clutch King got close to him, he would be instantly killed, so how could he have been given a chance to succeed?
“Bear, be careful. Try not to miss the monkey’s movements.”
With a flash of lightning, Clutch King moved behind Warhead Iron and stabbed him.
“Shield!”
“-52! Block!”
With a furious roar, a golden shield appeared behind Warhead Iron and deflected the stab.
Clutch King was truly surprised by Warhead Iron’s attack.
Taking advantage of the situation, Warhead Iron raised his hammer and smashed it heavily behind him.
“-531!”
A huge pit was created in the ground, and the gravel on the ground flew in all directions. If not for Clutch King’s cloak’s speed buff, he might not have been able to dodge this attack.
Although Warhead Iron looked clumsy with the hammer in his hand, his reaction speed was extremely fast. It would not have been easy for him to react in succession in just an instant.
However, Clutch King did not falter from this. After all, he had fought Li Yi before.
“Shadow Clone!”
With a turn, three Clutch Kings instantly appeared and attacked Warhead Iron simultaneously.
The three of them moved in unison, and even their speed was exactly the same; it was impossible to tell which was the real or fake Clutch King.
“Stop playing petty tricks!”
Holding the handle of the hammer in both hands, Warhead Iron spun on the spot. Just as Clutch King’s spear tip was about to pierce Warhead Iron, it was blocked by the spinning force.
With no other choice, the three Clutch King could only retreat and wait for further orders.
“Warhead Iron is very skilled. He must have dealt with such a situation for many years before coming up with such a countermeasure.”
Li Yi’s words were indeed correct.
As a Guardian Warrior, his greatest weakness was his speed. In order to deal with those who often used his speed advantage to ambush him, Warhead Iron had come up with a plan to deal with them.
From then on, no one dared to get close to him in Kesha City.
Clutch King’s speed advantage had instantly disappeared.
Warhead Iron stopped spinning and looked disdainfully at the three Clutch Kings around him.
“What? The little monkey has multiplied and become timid?”
Clutch King did not say anything; he refused to fall into a trap and expose his position.
Since three was not enough, then six was the way to go.
One of the original three turned around and became six.
The corners of Li Yi’s mouth curled up slightly.
“So what if there are more?”
The six Clutch Kings began to Circle Warhead Iron.
They were getting faster and faster, so fast that there were even afterimages.
The original six seemed to have become even more numerous now, as if there were more than a dozen Clutch Kings circling around Warhead Iron at the same time.
They spun and stabbed at the same time.
Six Spears stabbed at the same time.
Warhead Iron spun again, but was stabbed by the Lightning Spear.
“-547!”
“-534!”
“-522!”
...
Although the stab was very shallow, it made Warhead Iron stop moving.
Warhead Iron stopped and looked around, but he still could not tell who was real and who was not. He could only keep spinning, and as soon as he started, the stab would come one after another.
One stab after another came his way. This made him very vexed.
Snow Chaser could not understand what was going on, and Li Yi explained to her when he noticed her confused expression.
“Although Warhead Iron can defend against the attacks, that’s because he can’t confirm the opponent’s position, and the angle of his spin just overshadows those positions.
“There are too many afterimages around Clutch King right now, and he can’t see them all. He basically knows that there are still one or two positions that he can miss. As long as there’s a loophole, there’s a chance to stab him. Every time you see Clutch King and hit him, Clutch King can hit him four or five times.”
“So it’s just pure probability?”
“It’s pure probability.”
Snow Chaser was even more stupefied after hearing this. Only Clutch King could dare to rely on probability in a battle.
What Snow Chaser did not know was that Clutch King was relying on his own speed to make up for the difference in probability. He did not know any exquisite tactics; all he had was speed. If it was not enough to damage his opponent, then he would have to speed up.
If three was too little, then he would increase his numbers.
This was a competition of limits.
What Li Yi did not tell Snow Chaser was that there was an empty bottle of Speed Potion on the ground. It was a Speed Potion, but to increase his speed in such a short period of time would naturally consume some HP.
There was a slight tremble under the pitch-black mask, as if it had sensed something.
Li Yi had taken this action into account.
“You’ve finally noticed it?”
Warhead Iron’s movements became slower and slower, and the number of times he had been stabbed increased.
The pitch-black mask shouted at Warhead Iron, “Don’t hesitate to use your ultimate move!”
Warhead Iron’s body instantly swelled up after hearing this, and he stopped caring about Clutch King’s rain-like spear thrust as he raised his hammer and struck the ground below him with it.
With this one strike, Clutch King’s clones disappeared, and only Clutch King’s figure was sent flying into the air.
How could Warhead Iron let go of this opportunity? He grabbed Clutch King and threw him to the ground with all his strength!
“-4,514! Vital Strike!”
“Ah!”
Clutch King was smashed into the ground, and he could not exert any extra strength in his entire body as he spat out blood.
“Clutch King!”
Snow Chaser could not help but shout, but it was a pity that it was useless. This time, Clutch King could not recover from the attack. Warhead Iron raised his sledgehammer and was about to smash it down on Clutch King.
“Go to h*ll!”
“Paralysis status 80%.”
However, at this critical moment, Warhead Iron’s body froze, and the sledgehammer in his hand did not reign its power onto Clutch King.
Clutch King used all his strength to get out of the ground, rolled to the side, and slowly stood up. He took out a bottle of Health Potion from his backpack and drank it in one gulp.
The color gradually returned to his face, and Clutch King wiped the corners of his mouth as he looked at Warhead Iron with a bewitching smile.
“Is it still too late?”
The black masked person spoke up.
That’s right, Warhead Iron had been hit by the paralysis of the Lightning Spear. Although it was very shallow each time, after multiple shots, Warhead Iron’s paralysis had increased manifold.
Right now, Warhead Iron has an additional 80% paralysis.
“It’s over.”
“Damn it!”
Clutch King threw a spear, and lightning streaked through the air toward Warhead Iron’s heart.
Just as it was about to end, a white light appeared out of nowhere and blocked it.
