Chapter 906: Bone Wall

Translator: alyschu

"And... go!" Fei’er declared.

Luo River God of the Capital moved to the back, and Moonkiss vanished into thin air. Their coordination was so smooth it looked as if they had practiced this a thousand times before. And they probably have.

On the other side, Warsky mounted his Frostscale Warhorse and crossed his blade defensively in front of himself, while Farewell Song vanished into thin air as well. The warrior and the mage were in the open, while the assassins were in the dark.

Luo River God of the Capital kicked off the battle with a couple of probing Fireballs. While the spell dealt below ten thousand HP damage per hit, it wasn’t something Warsky could afford to ignore for prolonged periods of time.

Therefore, he dashed back and forth at random in an attempt to reduce the amount of damage he was taking as best he could. He kept Great Earth Transformation active at all times because Luo River God of the Capital would squash him like a bug otherwise, but even then he didn’t dare to get too close to the mage.

"Warsky!"

Farewell Song’s cry suddenly broke the air, and Warsky became alert in an instant. He waved his Ghost Banner and said, "Come out!"

Swhoosh!

The power of the souls surged, and a beautiful figure emerged into view. Moonkiss had been stunned by Warsky’s Divine General Skill!

I actually couldn’t stop myself from cheering that play. Farewell Song and Warsky had combined their insight and Divine General Skill to foil Moonkiss’ sneak attempt perfectly. Their teamwork was almost perfect!

Cyan Tiger Shatter + Barrier Break combo from Warsky and a couple of quick attacks from Farewell Song later, Moonkiss groaned and died just like that.

Of course, Luo River God of the Capital wasn’t going to let Moonkiss’s death go to waste. She hurriedly raised her scepter and washed the area with Touch of the Dragonkiss and Galaxy Storm, deleting most of Warsky’s HP. However, Farewell Song managed to leap to the back and enter stealth again.

The mage had failed to one-shot at least one of her opponents and even the numbers, so the tide swung in Warsky Alliance’s favor completely. Warsky ran away from Luo River God of the Capital while chugging a health potion. The mage had no choice but to give chase and try to kill Warsky before he recovered completely.

Crack!

There was a flash of red light, and Farewell Song stunned Luo River God of the Capital with Ambush. At the same time, Warsky turned around, used Charge and hit the mage with a fatal Barrier Break!

It was 1:0. Warsky Alliance won the first battle!

......

To be honest, Warsky Alliance’s performance exceeded our expectations completely. None of us was expecting Warsky and Farewell Song to work so well with each other. It was a level of rapport that could only be reached through long-term cooperation.

The second battle began, and it was almost a complete copy of the first. Not only did Warsky’s Divine General Skill counter Moonkiss’s stealth perfectly, Farewell Song was like a hunter in the dark who could always see through Moonkiss first before she could. When Warsky used Ghost Banner, the assassin was once again stunned before she could do anything at all!

With that, Warsky Alliance defeated Purple Lily with a 3:2 overall score and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals!

......

Swhoosh!

When Luo River God of the Capital and Moonkiss were teleported out of the arena, Moonkiss commented with a helpless look on her face, "How is Warsky Alliance so powerful?"

Moonlight Beneath A Rock replied, "Farewell Song’s CGL ranking is higher than yours. What do you think?"

Moonkiss pouted. "Fine, fine, I’ll work harder..."

Luo River God of the Capital stared at the battlefield below the waiting area in silence. A long while later, she finally said, "Our time has come to a close, and it’s Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Snowy Cathaya and Candle Dragon’s turn to perform now..."

Moonkiss: "..."

......

The second match of Group A was Blazing Hot Lips versus Soul Battle Robes.

Standing in the middle of her all-female team, the guild leader raised her scepter and gave an encouraging speech, "Do your best, girls! Soul Battle Robes may be a veteran guild, but their best experts such as Seven-Star Lamp, Dark Shadow Drifter or Gregory are all gone, so our chances of winning are pretty huge! If we win this, we’ll enter the quarter-finals. If we manage to do it, all meals in the next month are my treat!"

Eyes Like Water chuckled. "A month? That’s nowhere near enough, is it?"

Lasting said, "That’s it? That’s the only reward you can think of?"

Stranger of Three Lifetimes stared at her subordinates expressionlessly. "What else do you want then?"

Lasting suddenly blushed before replying, "Well, it’s been two years since I reached adulthood, but I still haven’t found a boyfriend yet. I want a handsome stud with good looks and good skills like Lu Chen..."

Stranger of Three Lifetimes shot her down mercilessly. "Hahaha, I want a boyfriend like that myself, you fool! Don’t even think about it!"

It was at this moment I walked up to them and gave them a friendly reminder, "Be careful okay, Third Wheel? Soul Battle Robes’ Song of Cloud and Water is weak, but her subordinates are a completely different story. Ringwraith the Undead Mage, God Bone the Iron Knight, and Song of Ice and Fire the Frozen Berserker... just, take care of yourselves, okay?"

Stranger of Three Lifetimes stared at me. "Fuck, why do you sound like you’re offering your condolences? Anyway, don’t worry about us, we’re going to win this for sure!"

"Sure, sure. Do your best..."

"Mn..."

......

It wasn’t long before Fei’er announced the start of the second eighth-finals of Group A. The map was a green river valley, and to everyone’s surprise Stranger of Three Lifetimes chose to attend the first battle. Even better, her opponent was none other than the hidden trump card of Soul Battle Robes, Song of Ice and Fire, the Frozen Berserker!

Song of Ice and Fire was a 35 years old uncle. He had a stubble around the corners of his mouth, and he wore a helmet made of dragon bones and a black armor. His weapon of choice was a sword. Staring at Stranger of Three Lifetimes with determination, the uncle suddenly wiped his saliva and asked, "So, do you want to have dinner after we finish this match, Stranger of Three Lifetimes?"

The mage shivered visibly and lost her calm.

"I have a bad feeling about this..."

Lin Yixin said to me while leaning against the handrail in front of her.

I nodded in agreement. "Yeah."

Warsky Alliance happened to pass by our waiting area at this moment. When Laughing At The Heavens saw Lin Yixin’s pose, he couldn’t stop himself from whistling and saying, "Man, the Fruit Knife Goddess’s butt is so round..."

Lin Yixin immediately turned around and unsheathed her Seven Star Veluriyam Sword with murder. She growled, "Control your men, Warsky!"

Warsky chided his general, "I know. Heavens, watch your mouth, man! You’re being rude!"

Laughing At The Heavens nodded wordlessly, and it seemed like the incident would pass when Warsky added,

"But not wrong..."

I hurriedly pulled Lin Yixin into my embrace before she could cut off their heads and said, "Calm down, girl! Momo and the girls are about to fight, and if everything goes as we suspect it will, we’ll need our energy to take revenge for them later! Just leave Warsky Alliance to Purple Marquis and Li Chengfeng! It’s their job to wipe our butts anyway!"

Shocked, Li Chengfeng turned to Purple Marquis and asked, "Are... are we the slaves of the guild?"

Purple Marquis nodded. "Looks like it..."

......

Meanwhile, Stranger of Three Lifetimes had already engaged Song of Ice and Fire in battle. There was some sort of frost armor surrounding Song of Ice and Fire that negated at least 50% of the magic damage he took, annoying Stranger of Three Lifetimes. Not only that, the frozen berserker ran rings around the mage like a ghost on the back and struck at her Origin Energy Shield again and again. No matter how hard she struggled, she just couldn’t escape the uncle’s clingy hands!

The mage’s shield durability fell below 15% in an instant, but Song of Ice and Fire’s HP had also dropped to 10%. When Stranger of Three Lifetimes thrust her scepter forward and unleashed Touch of the Dragonkiss, Song of Ice and Fire suddenly took a few steps back and created some sort of ice coffin around himself. At the same time, he shouted, "Ice Recovery!"

Chiang!

The ice coffin blocked the fatal spell from Stranger of Three Lifetimes completely. Not only that, it restored Song of Ice and Fire’s HP by 50%!

+110283!

Stranger of Three Lifetimes’ heart turned as cold as ice. After that, the frozen berserker rushed in, hit her with a combo and killed her where she stood.

Bad enough that Song of Ice and Fire’s tactics and skills countered Stranger of Three Lifetimes’, that Frozen Armor was like a cheat skill that kept halving her magic damage. It was almost as good as Gui Guzi’s Undying Shield.

......

"Fuck!"

Stranger of Three Lifetimes almost went berserk when she returned to her waiting area. She threw her scepter to the ground and raged, "That fucking Song of Ice and Fire is so disgusting!"

Eyes Like Water asked, "What happened, boss? You’re normally better than this."

Stranger of Three Lifetimes complained, "That middle-aged uncle kept staring at my... you know... so I couldn’t quite keep a cool head and fight like normally..."

Eyes Like Water’s gaze immediately shifted downward. "Oh, he’s staring at your 34Ds?"

"If you know that, then why are you staring?"

"Because they’re pretty? Now that I think about it, this robe is pretty well designed, huh? Over half of your puppies are exposed. No wonder Song of Ice and Fire wouldn’t stop staring at them..."

Stranger of Three Lifetimes blushed like an apple. "Pooh! Pooh! I would never wear this shit if it wasn’t a 3-star Outstanding Immortal-grade robe, dammit! Fucking Eternal Moon Corporation and their lewd designs!"

It was at this moment I hooted from the side, "What are you talking about, girl? You’re doing every male player out there a service! What do you say, boys?"

Purple Marquis, Li Chengfeng, High Fighting Spirits and every guy in the vicinity cheered loudly, "Well said, Lu Chen! We wouldn’t have it any other way! Take my like, Stranger!"

Stranger of Three Lifetimes looked like she would dig herself a hole and hide if she could. Not wanting to deal with us any longer, she teleported onto the arena and began the next match!

......

"You’re not winning this one!" Stranger of Three Lifetimes declared.

Instead of answering, Song of Ice and Fire kept his gaze fully trained on her 34Ds. Pissed off, the mage looked away and said, "I can beat you as long as I don’t look at your slimy eyes!"

Because of this, she missed the smile that flashed across Song of Ice and Fire’s lips.

The battle began, and Stranger of Three Lifetimes blasted away with an Ice Blast + Galaxy Storm combo. Her powerful magic deleted a huge chunk of HP from Song of Ice and Fire’s health bar, but the uncle calmly stuck to his battle plan and chipped away at the Origin Energy Shield.

Suddenly, Song of Ice and Fire abruptly switched his rhythm and shouted, "You’ve lost, babe!"

He struck the ground with his sword, and a wall of bones burst out of the ground and surrounded Stranger of Three Lifetimes!

"What?"

Shocked, Stranger of Three Lifetimes tried to Blink away to safety, but the system informed her that the Bone Wall had prevented it from taking effect!

Swhoosh!

Before she could do anything else, Song of Ice and Fire hit her Origin Energy Shield with Barrier Break and Frozen Combat. The Bone Wall shattered from the impact, but the mage also lost all her HP and became encased in ice. By the time the ice fell off her body, Stranger of Three Lifetimes had already lost the fight!

It was 0:2. So far, Blazing Hot Lips had cut down all their opponents like the storm, so no one was expecting them to lose a point like this. Even worse, the point thrower was none other than their best player, Stranger of Three Lifetimes.
