Time quickly passed.
In the spectator stands, both sides were abnormally nervous. Although neither side was fighting, both sides were fully focused on the arena. Their concentration was no less than when they were fighting in person.
This was the final duel.
The outcome of this duel would determine the fate of both sides. The victor would become the Guild Leader of Ouroboros, and the victor's supporters would also rise to the top, becoming winners in life. Meanwhile, the loser would leave God's Domain forever, and the side they supported would not have a good ending.
Hence, the atmosphere in the spectator stands was abnormally heavy. The smell of gunpowder also filled the air, as if an explosion would break out at any moment.
Even the Elders spectating from the sidelines felt their bodies grow heavy and oppressive.
Not to mention Gentle Snow and Cao Chenghua's side.
"Nimble Snake, come out if you have the ability. It's already been over twenty minutes, yet you're still acting like a coward. You clearly have a class advantage, yet you still use such despicable methods. Don't you feel ashamed?" Zhao Yueru frowned as she looked at Nimble Snake, who had yet to make a move in the arena. She was just one step away from rolling up her sleeves and rushing down to fight alongside Violet Cloud.
Nimble Snake was simply too cunning. For the sake of victory, he would do anything.
To guard against Nimble Snake, Violet Cloud had to pay close attention to her surroundings. On the other hand, Nimble Snake did not need to do so.
An ordinary person could only maintain their concentration for half an hour at most. Over time, not only would it greatly exhaust one's concentration, but it would also cause one's concentration to scatter, unknowingly revealing many openings.
However, this was the brain's self-defense mechanism. It was unavoidable.
Meanwhile, the duel had already lasted for half an hour.
Even Zhao Yueru herself felt that she was nearing her limit. If she dragged this out any longer, her concentration would definitely scatter.
In a duel between experts, even the slightest bit of distraction could result in death …
"Hahaha! We didn't set a time limit for this duel. The duelists are free to fight however they wish. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for not making this request before the duel. Don't you think it's too late to regret it now?" Blackhearted Arrow laughed, pleased with himself.
Zhao Yueru was suddenly speechless.
However, the other party was right. This duel did not have a time limit. Yet, nobody could've imagined that Nimble Snake would be so shameless. Originally, she had thought that she had seen Nimble Snake's bottom line.
She never imagined that she had underestimated Nimble Snake. He did not even have the basic self-esteem of an expert. Nimble Nimble Snake actually wanted to drag this out.
"I was careless. I actually forgot to set a time limit when facing an Assassin." Gentle Snow blamed herself as she looked at Violet Cloud, who was already mentally exhausted from searching for Nimble Snake in the arena.
How could he have overlooked such a crucial point in such a crucial duel …
This would undoubtedly reduce Violet Cloud's chances of victory.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Let's just watch quietly. I believe Violet knows what's going on, "Shi Feng advised as he looked at Violet Cloud, who stood inside the arena.
"But …"
"Don't worry."
Shifeng was very relaxed. He was not worried at all.
Although Nimble Snake's move was not bad, it was still far from enough to defeat Violet Cloud.
Half an hour had finally passed.
"Looks like this girl is about to reach her limit."
Nimble Snake, who was hiding in the distance, had been carefully observing Violet Cloud all this time. In truth, during the past half an hour or so, he had several opportunities to take action. However, he had held himself back. In order to obtain victory, he had to kill Violet Cloud with 100 HP. Hence, he had waited until now.
At this moment, sweat had already begun to form on Violet Cloud's forehead. It was obvious that her concentration had reached its limit. Nimble Snake had even purposely left a small opening, probing Violet Cloud from over ten yards away. With the sensitivity of an expert player, they should have discovered him. Yet, Violet Cloud had not noticed him at all.
"Sure enough, I'm already exhausted from my previous high concentration."
Nimble Snake was overjoyed. Stealthily, he circled behind Violet Cloud, inching closer and closer to her.
Ten yards … Five yards … Three yards …
After a short moment, Nimble Snake arrived within the absolute range of an expert player. Unsheathing his snow-white dagger, he drew a silver arc in the air. His dagger stabbed towards the back of Violet Cloud's head.
Ambush
Ambush could Fainted the target for four seconds. At this stage of the game, Control Removal Skills were extremely rare. As long as Violet Cloud's target was struck, she would definitely be killed by his terrifying combo.
Nimble Snake had even used Second Acceleration to ensure that he would hit his target. Even if Violet Cloud discovered him, she would not be able to stop him. Even if Violet Cloud noticed, it would be impossible for her to block the attack.
The instant Nimble Snake's dagger descended, Violet Cloud let out a howl as if she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Fear's Roar
When activated, all enemies within eight yards will enter a Fear state for four seconds. While in a Fear state, players will not be able to control their bodies.
Instantly, Violet Cloud was ambushed, and Nimble Snake was struck by Fear's Roar.
Violet Cloud was Fainted, while Nimble Snake was Frightened. "Violet Cloud is so amazing.
She actually used Fear's Roar in the nick of time. With this, neither side can attack. Now that Nimble Snake has revealed himself, he no longer has the initiative. Now, as long as we find a way to put some distance between them, we can slowly whittle Nimble Snake down, "Zhao Yueru said excitedly after seeing Violet Cloud's performance.
"Something's not right," Gentle Snow suddenly said.
"Snow, is there a problem?" Zhao Yueru asked curiously.
"Nimble Snake is Level 24, but Violet is only Level 22. Both of them have been affected by a Control Skill for four seconds. However, Nimble Snake is two levels higher, so the effect will definitely be weaker. He might only need 35 seconds to remove the Control Skill. On the other hand, Violet Cloud needs four seconds. With a difference of five seconds, Nimble Snake will have plenty of time to do something." Gentle Snow's expression darkened. Although Violet Cloud's counterattack was beautiful, there was still a difference of microseconds between the two sides.
"Doesn't that mean … we've lost?" Zhao Yueru's expression suddenly turned gloomy.
At this moment, Cao Chenghua revealed a victorious smile.
Once the Control Skill's effects ended, this duel would be over.
However, Shifeng suddenly laughed and said, "No, we've won."
"Won?" Zhao Yueru turned to look at Xiang Shifeng. Softly, she said, "But Violet's Fainted duration is longer than Nimble Snake's. How can Violet win?"
"You'll know if you continue watching," Shifeng said, chuckling.
"Continue watching?"
Many of the spectators wondered why Shifeng would say such a thing. However, since an expert like Shifeng had said so, there must be a reason behind it.
"Stubborn duck." Blackhearted Arrow glanced at the distant Shifeng. He then ridiculed, "God's Domain's level suppression is very powerful. After three Levels, the power of your Skills will be greatly reduced. Although Nimble Snake is only two Levels higher than you, it is enough to weaken your Skills' effects significantly. You really are a country bumpkin."
However, before Blackhearted Arrow could finish his words …
In the arena, Violet Cloud was the first to wake up.
"No … How can this be? It hasn't even been three seconds!" Blackhearted Arrow's eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.
Aside from Shi Feng, everyone else in the arena fell into chaos, much less Blackhearted Arrow.
They simply could not understand why Violet Cloud woke up first.
"What a pity. Although you are two Levels higher than me, you are one Tier lower than me."
Violet Cloud smiled faintly as she looked at Nimble Snake, who was trembling uncontrollably. She then waved her staff, and a black magic array slowly formed beneath Nimble Snake's feet.
"Fortunately, I still have a chance." Nimble Snake, who had originally despaired, suddenly saw hope. Violet Cloud had actually used such a time-consuming Spell. She was simply foolish.
Although Nimble Snake could not control himself, he could still see and hear.
It would take him at least one second to complete the Spell beneath his feet. Meanwhile, he was less than one second away from the 35-second countdown. He had more than enough time to use Vanish, perfectly evading the Spell's attack.
However, Violet Cloud paid it no mind as she continued to chant her Spell.
When the 35-second countdown was up, Nimble Snake was about to use Vanish.
"What's going on?" Nimble Snake discovered that he still could not control himself.
At the same time, Violet Cloud's magic array activated.
Tier 1 Advanced Spell, Black Coffin, was still incomplete.
