Chapter 747 – THE FINAL ROUND: YAN YAN VS AH JIN (I)
LUO JIN raised his head and saw his brother grinned, as if the other was up to no good. And sure enough, another dagger suddenly thrusted towards the gap below his crisscrossed guns. If he stayed there and do nothing, he would surely be stabbed to the face!
He gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger of both guns. Luo Yan was startled for a bit, obviously not expecting for him to do that. He then took that chance to jump back and put a distance between them.
He didn't wait for the other to move again and used [Bullet Volley]. He did not stop there. As he was shooting with his guns, he was also moving around. When he jumped back, the crystals behind him were the yellow and black ones. If he was just a little careless, who knew if he suddenly ended up being K.Oed by that black crystal. That would certainly be an embarrassing defeat.
Seeing the incoming storm of bullets, Luo Yan didn't panic. Dodging all of them would be a little bit impossible. So, cutting them down was the only option. Of course, he didn't just stay where he was and waited for the bullets to come. He rushed forward and moved in a flurry.
To everyone watching this scene, Noctis just seemed like a blur of movement. Although they should have already gotten used to the other's speed after watching his last two matches, seeing it again still left them amazed. Assassins were naturally much faster compared to other classes. But why did they feel like Noctis was even faster than other Assassins?
Luo Yan continued to rush towards the direction where Luo Jin was, dodging and slashing bullets along the way. His brother was not moving in a uniform direction. He was also shooting continuously at him. But because of the other's short legs and not being as fast as he was, Luo Yan managed to arrive in front of Luo Jin in just a moment.
He was about to attack when a bullet grazed his arm from behind. If he wasn't constantly moving, this bullet might have hit a vital part. He narrowed his eyes. It's that curving bullet again. It was probably mixed among the bullet storms. Knowing Luo Jin, it's probably not only that one bullet.
So, he had to temporary paused his attack and moved in a different direction. Sure enough, three more bullets hit the place where he was just standing. He hadn't stayed long on the area where he landed when a volley of bullets rained on his way again.
This time, it was even more persistent than the last storm of bullets. It's like an infinite volley of bullets made of ice and fire. That's why it's ever harder to hack them. Especially when it's very obvious that these bullets were trying to push him back. Obviously to force him towards the black crystal which just happened to be at the back of the area where he was.
He looked at his brother and saw that the other was full of concentration. He grinned. Well, it's good that Luo Jin was really taking this seriously. Maybe he should also show-off a bit?
What Luo Yan didn't know was that Luo Jin was very confused right now. He was sure that he saw his brother being grazed by his bullet. Normally, Luo Yan should be affected by [Chaotic Mind] when that happened. But his brother was still acting normally. Could it be that the distance was not far enough that's why it didn't take effect? Or… or his brother had an item that could negate debuffs, just like his [Blessing of Isis]?
But no matter how confused he was, he couldn't let that affect him. If he was careless, even for a second, Luo Yan would definitely take advantage of that. With how shrewd the other was, he would definitely not miss such a thing. So, at the end, he had to force himself to concentrate.
Of course, he did not forget to remind himself of the possibility that his brother had an item that could negate buffs. So, to be on the safe side, he would just assume that that was the case from this point on.
If Luo Yan could hear what his brother was thinking, then, he would agree with his guess. This was because of the black cuff on his left ear. This is called [Null Ring], an item that was dropped when they killed the Dark Saint.
It had the effect that Luo Jin mentioned, except that it only worked if the debuff was caused by a weapon. Which was just in line with the effect of the [Chaotic Mind]. That's why he wasn't really worried when a bullet grazed his arm. Because he knew that the [Null Ring] would simply negate the effects of his brother's passive skill. That's why when he was grazed by the other's bullet, he wasn't so worried.
Back to what was happening now…
Luo Yan didn't retreat with the onslaught of bullets. He didn't step back as Luo Jin wanted, instead, he moved forward. He dodged, blocked, slashed the incoming bullets. Some even grazed him from time to time. But he didn't seem to feel it.
Every step he made forward became faster and faster. Until he almost seemed like a bullet himself. He was surrounded by a black shadow, forming around his body like a cloak. This was one of his skills that he hadn't used yet – [Dark Shadow].
Luo Jin only saw a black blur, before he felt like his brother just suddenly disappeared. It wasn't the same as when the other was moving really fast. This time, he couldn't feel his brother's presence.
Did Luo Yan use that Invisibility Cloak of his? But he didn't see the other pulled anything out of his Items Tab.
Before he could confirm whether that was the case or not, a shadow appeared before him. It happened in an instant that he wasn't able to react on time!
