Chapter 692 – EIGHTH MATCH (I)
LUO JIN once again felt how stupid he had been when choosing that name as his game account name. He probably should have been more patient. Maybe if he did, then, he could have thought of a name that had not been yet used without it being so embarrassing.
But he already made his bed. He had no choice but to lie on it. As long as he showed to everyone how good he was, this stupid game account name would no longer matter. Or at least he hoped that it would.
"Amazing young master Jin, what an amazing name indeed," his opponent suddenly said. The girl put one hand on her hips while pointing at him. "I like your naming sense. It has a lot of flare! That's how youth is supposed to be like. Let's have a fun match, kid!"
Then, she followed that up with a boisterous laugh.
Luo Jin only had an expression of 'what the heck is wrong with this girl?'. Her way of speaking totally didn't match her childish looks. It's like a middle-aged woman speaking inside a seven-year-old girl's body. And it was the kind of middle-aged person who was too energetic and loved to have fun all the time. Like an old person with a kid's heart.
Before he could decide what to feel about that, the other had already took out a large axe. And by large, he meant that it was even bigger than herself or even him for that matter. Then, the other unceremoniously rushed towards him.
Luo Jin quickly jumped back and took out his guns out of their holsters. He pointed them towards the girl and pulled the trigger of both guns. Ice and fire bullets were released.
If he remembered correctly, those that used axe as a weapon were Berserkers. But most players who picked that class preferred gauntlets more. Just like that panther beastkin earlier. Even his cousin, Bai Ze, preferred gauntlets as his weapon. It just showed how unconventional this girl, or whatever her real age, was.
Butterpuff used her axe as a shield to protect herself from the incoming bullets. But because of the bullets' special attribute of fire and ice, some parts of the axe were frozen while the flames from the fire bullets get passed through the axe and almost hit her a couple of times.
As a solution to that, she spun the axe in front of her like some baton. She was spinning it in a fast speed that she easily deflected all the bullets that were coming.
The other was already closed to Luo Jin. He narrowed his eyes. He continued to fire shots with one gun while he concentrated on looking for an opening to fire the other. With the help of the [Snipe Lens], anything could be easily magnified in his eyes. He could perfectly see where he should fire the gun. The only thing he needed was the timing.
So, while he was waiting for that, he concentrated his Mana on the gun that he's not firing. When Butterpuff was already managed to close the distance between them. She raised her axe in an attempt to attack him.
That's the timing Luo Jin was waiting for.
The moment Butterpuff raised her axe, he pulled the trigger of the gun with his concentrated Mana in it. A bullet with blazing fire shot towards her head. When the bullet was just a millimeter away from her face, she suddenly moved his head to the side at a very deft manner. It passed through one of his twin tails instead, burning her hair.
But despite that, she didn't stop moving and flexibly changed the direction where she was swinging the axe. Instead from the top, she swung it from the side.
Luo Jin's eyes widened but he didn't panic. Instead, he pointed both gun to the incoming axe and fired shots. He used the recoil from the bullets hitting the axe's sharp edge to fly sideways.
He escaped from the axe's attack and as he did so, he pointed both guns at Butterpuff again and fired shots. It would be good if the other was affected by his passive skill – [Chaotic Mind]. But since that flame shot earlier hit Butterpuff's hair at a close distance, it would have no effect.
The onslaught of bullets continued but Butterpuff easily dodged all of them with her fast and flexible movements. When Luo Jin was finally a distance away from the other, he stopped moving back so he could concentrate more on his attack.
But his opponent seemed to be waiting for that. Because as soon as his feet landed on the ground, she suddenly hit the ground with her axe. It destroyed the area where the axe landed. Not only that, it also produced an earthquake-like tremor across the rink. Which in turn caused Luo Jin to lose his balance and fell.
He could see Butterpuff already rushing towards him with some sort of trigger-happy grin on her face. Making her looked like some kind of battle-crazed maniac. The tremor on the ground was still not stopping. Although he managed to not completely fall, it's still hard to regain his balance because of the tremors.
So, Luo Jin decided something at that moment.
He used a skill and fired one shot each from both his guns. At the same time he did, the tremors caused his feet to slip again, making him fall. This time, he did not stop himself from falling on the ground.
His back hit the floor. Butterpuff appeared above him and swung down her axe. He could see the edge of it shining. She probably had used some kind of skill. Meaning that if he was hit by this attack, it wouldn't just be a simple cut.
The axe descended from above at a fast speed. But when it was about to hit Luo Jin, Butterpuff suddenly stopped her action and jumped up. As she did, two bullets passed by her from behind. If she did not stop her action on time, she would have probably been shot by those bullets by now.
She looked down and saw that the black-haired gnome was no longer there. She raised her head and saw that another powerful shot was coming at her.
She suddenly laughed. What a fun fight!
