Chapter 816 - I Have a Trump Card Too

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

What made the Hall of Fame Equipment Set strong was not only due to its superior stat values, but it was also due to the three hidden attributes.

The first hidden attribute was the Pseudo Authority, Strip.

Authorities were a form of power that trumped even Territories. Coincidentally, it was also the highly-sought-after target of multiple experts in Li Yi’s past life. Alas, the power could only be wielded by gods, and back then, there was only one player who had managed to ascend to godhood.

Since becoming a god was a pipe dream for many, most players had pinned their hopes on equipment instead. Many rare equipment pieces came with the precious Pseudo Authorities in King of Pantheon, and though their effects were not as potent as actual Authorities, they were enough to deal with the Territories.

Li Yi’s Pseudo Authority was called Strip, and its effect was to Strip its target from using a particular ability.

Say that Li Yi’s opponent was using normal attacks on him. Once Strip was activated, Li Yi’s opponent would no longer be able to use their normal attacks in a fixed duration. If Li Yi’s opponent had used another skill instead, Strip’s activation would prevent his opponent from using that particular skill during that duration.

Authorities were akin to laws, and they were the power that allowed gods to oppress mortals!

Li Yi’s activation of the Authority, Strip, had coincided with Tyrant Sword King’s use of Killing Light. It happened just as Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had lifted up his Black Light Battle Axe.

The white rays of Strip struck Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, stripping him of his right to use Killing Light.

Tyrant Sword King slammed down his battle-ax, only for it to deal measly damage. Killing Light had not been unleashed.

“Voom-voom-voom—”

Killing Aura had once again gathered on the Black Light Battle Axe.

Once more, Tyrant Sword King slammed down his ax, but he was still unable to unleash Killing Light.

“Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!”

Seizing the opening, Li Yi fired a stream of arrows at Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

Despite that, his attacks dealt no damage, as Tyrant Sword King was already at zero health. Li Yi did not know how long this status of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s would last, but what he did know, was that the best thing he could do now, was to constantly attack.

‘As long as I continue to attack, you’ll definitely fall, one way or another!’

“Territory— King’s Blade!”

Tyrant Sword King quickly understood the situation. Upon realizing that he was unable to use Killing Light, he immediately switched tactics and activated the Faux Territory of his Sovereign Equipment Set.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A ten-meter-wide Sword of Light appeared on top of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, and it levitated as straight as an arrow in mid-air.

It was the Faux Territory of the Sovereign Equipment Set, King’s Blade!

King’s Blade lasted for 10 minutes, and it had the same ATK value as its user. Furthermore, it could also block some long-ranged attacks.

“True Overlord Arrow!”

Li Yi had never halted his attacks. Although he was not sure how Tyrant Sword King the Fifth managed to survive even with no health, Li Yi still believed that as long as he continued to attack, it was only a matter of time before Tyrant Sword King the Fifth would be defeated.

It was a shame that Strip could only remove one skill at any time. After all, if it could be cast continuously, would Tyrant Sword King the Fifth still continue to act that confidently?

True Overlord Arrow had met its mark, and when it happened, Li YI noticed that small cracks were beginning to form on the surface of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s Black Light Battle Axe.

Li Yi had been constantly keeping watch on the Black Light Battle Axe. As such, the moment abnormalities begin to form on the ax’s surface, Li Yi could immediately tell.

“Woosh! Woosh!”

King’s Blade hacked horizontally, and though it had a huge attack range, its speed was not all that fast. As such, all Li Yi had to do was to retreat as far as possible to avoid its attacks.

As Li Yi continued to attack, the cracks on Black Light Battle Axe’s surface gradually widened. At long last, it had devolved into a pattern similar to a tortoise’s shell, meaning it would shatter at any moment.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was starting to look a bit desperate.

Li Yi’s prediction had been correct. The reason Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was able to survive even though he had zero health was due to the miraculous special effect of his Black Light Battle Axe. As long as the weapon’s Durability was not depleted, its user would never die.

It was the precious special effect of the Black Light Battle Axe, and it was also the trump card that Tyrant Sword King had formulated to deal with Li Yi.

Alas, he had not expected that Li Yi’s ability was even stronger than his. To think that Li Yi had taken two Killing Light’s head on and still managed to retaliate.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth relentlessly pursued Li Yi, and the King’s Blade on top of his head continued to slash at Li Yi. However, how could his SPD even compare to Li Yi’s? Even if he never stopped running, he could never catch up to Li Yi, whereas Li Yi, on the other hand, could take time his time to fire at Tyrant Sword King the Fifth while running.

“Crack!”

A resounding crack could be heard, and the Black Light Battle Axe shattered to several pieces. The unkillable Tyrant Sword King the Fifth crumbled onto the ground a moment later.

Now that his Black Light Battle Axe’s Durability had been depleted, it was impossible for Tyrant Sword King the Fifth to survive, as he no longer had any HP.

“Dark Wing has won!”

The moment the announcer declared Li Yi’s victory; the audience went silent.

The battle was too tense, and until the final second, no one could tell who would come out on top. As such, when Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s weapon shattered, many players were left in shock.

“The number one Archer God of Pantheon is indeed a god!”

“F*ck me, how did he even die?”

“The unkillable King Fifth has died?! How?”

“Scr*w me, man, I dropped 200 thousand on this match man!”

The audience went wild. Those who had bet on Li Yi were, of course, overjoyed, but those who had bet on Tyrant Sword King the Fifth were down in the dumps.

It took a while, but when Tyrant Sword King the Fifth finally stood back up, he stared at Li Yi without uttering a single word.

What Li Yi had seen was Tyrant Sword King’s hand shaking uncontrollably.

Although he had only lost a match, Li Yi had displayed his strength in that match, and that made Tyrant Sword King feel an inexplicable sense of dread.

Li Yi brought out his Repair Bot and offered to repair Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s weapon. However, this caused Tyrant Sword King the Fifth to raise his eyebrow.

“Do you really think that you can beat me?” Tyrant Sword King the Fifth clenched his fist and replied while gritting his teeth.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth placed his Black Light Battle Axe into the Repair Bot, and soon after, the battle ax’s Durability was back to full.

“Bam!”

The moment the gong rang, the second battle had begun in earnest.

“I WILL NOT LOSE!”

“Voom...voom...voom!”

After charging up his Black Light Battle Axe with Killing Aura, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth howled and charged at Li Yi with his ax raised.

Li Yi stood still with his Orange Quality Bow in hand. All he did was smile, but that alone had crumpled Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s confidence. He charged all the way towards Li Yi but paused for two seconds before swiping his ax horizontally.

“Slash—”

The Black Light Battle Axe sliced through Li Yi’s waist. Instantly, a damage counter of [−654343] appeared, and moments later, to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s disbelief, Li Yi lay on the ground.

KO!

A one-hit kill!

The crowd was in an uproar...

“Motherf*cker! What kind of joke is this?”

“The hell? Did you throw the match?”

“F*ck, he’s giving him a free win!”

“F*ck, my heart can’t take this anymore.”

“Dark Wing, stop acting so arrogant! I’ve placed a million Gold Coins on you, so don’t you dare go easy on him!”

“F*ck me, man, I bet on Dark Wing as well!”

Just like the audience below, Tyrant Sword King himself could not believe what had happened.

It was only after Li Yi had stood back up when Tyrant Sword King the Fifth stated coldly, “Did you do it on purpose?”

“What do you think?”

“Hahaha, are you really that confident that you can defeat me?”

Li Yi chuckled bitterly as he waved his Orange Quality Bow. “You’ll know soon enough whether I’m confident or not.”

“Bam!”

The gong rang once more, and the curtains had lifted on the third battle!

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth lifted his Black Light Battle Axe and hacked viciously downward.

This time, Li Yi did not attempt to dodge as well. He just stood there, spread his legs wide open, and slowly pulled back his bow.

The Chrono Territory that had covered the entire arena suddenly contracted back onto Li Yi’s body. The golden radiance from that moment had attracted the attention of all the viewers.

“Tch—”

Killing Light slammed into Li Yi, followed by the text, [No Effect].

“Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr—”

“Territory—Stinger Arrow!”

A golden arrow hurtled forward, striking Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s head/

Psst-psst-sst—

Fierce crimson damage counters flew out of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s head. The numbers were heavily stacked upon one another, and it was impossible to decipher the damage taken.

Psst-psst-psst—

There seemed to be no end to the damage Tyrant Sword King the Fifth would take.

First, it was the Black Light Battle Axe that shattered.

Followed by Tyrant Sword King crumpling onto the ground!
