As he finished, a rumbling came from the forest.
Not long after that, a large shadow walked out from the forest and entered everyone's sight.
The monster was about two meters tall and had a pair of large bat wings on his back. He had sharp fangs, claws, hooves, and a lion's tail. The strong presence and intimidating aura on his body were undoubtedly the embodiment of his Uniqueness data.
"Sam Montier?" Two seconds later, Understanding Death recognized the newcomer because he had run into this boss in one of the previous scenarios, but there was no direct confrontation.
"What's going on?" Phantom Dawn turned around, and the light returned to his eyes. "You are not Time Official …"
"I stopped being one a long time ago," Sam Montier said. "But I have a way to make you 'feel' that I am."
Phantom Dawn understood what the man meant immediately. "You purposely created the Realm of Time Official and let me sense it to lure me here …"
"Very good," Sam Montier said coldly. "You were able to figure that out on your own. That saves me a lot of explaining."
"Hey … Phantom Dawn, what is the situation now?" After another Boss-tier monster appeared, Lying Drunk, who was already in his battle stance, felt that something was amiss. So, he turned his head and whispered to his teammate. "What's wrong?"
"The situation …" Phantom Dawn said with a serious expression. "You and the captain will be killed soon, right?"
"Ha …" Lying Drunk's lips twitched into a smile. "Is that so …"
As he spoke, he turned his head and gave Understanding Death a meaningful look. With just a glance, Understanding Death understood his teammate's intentions.
The next second, the two of them charged out at the same speed, and their target was the same — Atobe.
The viewers who were watching the match would never have dreamed that they would be able to witness two superstars from Regulation One use a sneak attack to attack a small character like Atobe.
However, this scene had indeed happened, and … it was reasonable.
This was because … from the moment Phantom Dawn said the word 'kill' to the moment Lying Drunk exchanged a look with Understanding Death, in less than five seconds, these two professional players had already completed the calculation in their minds.
First, even though Phantom Dawn sounded unbelievable, he was not joking. Considering the fact that this kid had a 100% accuracy in predicting the outcome of a battle, it was certain that Dianli King and Sam Montier would be able to defeat Lying Drunk and Understanding Death if they worked together.
Secondly, Phantom Dawn only said that 'you and the captain' would die soon, but he did not say that he would die. This proved that … even if his teammates died, he still had confidence that he would survive.
Considering the above two points, Lying Drunk and Understanding Death thought … Since they would definitely die if they fought head-on, they might as well contribute to the team before they died. And what was that "contribution"? Naturally, it was to kill Atobe.
To put it bluntly … they had used five seconds to accept the fact that they were dying and reached a consensus on the matter of 'what else can I do at this moment'. The two of them might not be able to defeat the two bosses before them, but if they worked together, would they not be able to kill Atobe?
With that thought in mind, Lying Drunk and Understanding Death attacked at the same time.
At that moment, the two reached Atobe in the blink of an eye. Lying Drunk cut straight to the chase and used the strongest skill in his skill bar — Dragon Fist — Burst. Understanding Death did not hold back either and used a pair of spray cans to use a crowd-control skill — Graffiti Territory.
Of these two skills, one was a skill that could kill a player with high Defense instantly, and the other was a powerful crowd-control skill that combined Attack Reduction, Speed Reduction, and Armor Penetration.
Facing this combination of attacks, even if Shiva was there, he would not have survived, much less Atobe.
But …
What happened next shocked Lying Drunk and Understanding Death.
Not only them, other than Atobe himself, everyone there, including the viewers who were watching the livestream, were shocked by Atobe's response.
…
On the 10th of November, 9: 30 pm, inside Feng Bujue's conference room.
Brother Jue slumped lazily on the main seat of the conference table and finished a long recitation. "That's about it, have you memorized everything?"
"Of course, who do you think I am?" Atobe crossed his arms before his chest and sat down on the chair to the left of Brother Jue. He replied matter-of-factly, "I can do twenty plans, much less twelve."
"That's good …" Brother Jue replied. Then he was reminded of something and changed the topic. "Oh … by the way, I have something to remind you of."
"What is it?" Atobe asked.
"I have a suggestion on the details of a battle plan that I hope you can use." Feng Bujue paused before asking, "You have a skill that can only be used once, Ice Mirror Wall, right?"
"What the f * ck?" When Atobe heard that, his expression shifted. "How did you know that?" After he asked that question, he seemed to have come up with an answer in his mind. "Did you plant a spy in my studio?"
"Do you think this is a crime movie?" Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes. "How can there be so many spies in real life? Ignoring the fact that your studio has no value in sending a spy, let's talk about me … I'm not a professional gamer, and I have no conflict of interest with you, so why would I send a spy to work for you? Is it because I'm in love with you? "
"Hmm …" Atobe also narrowed his eyes and used a suspicious gaze to look back at Brother Jue. He was silent.
"Sigh …" Brother Jue saw his reaction and sighed. "My last question was a rhetorical question, not a question."
"Oh …" Atobe sighed in relief. "That scared me …" He paused for two seconds before continuing his previous question. "Then, how do you explain the fact that you know about my skill? The fact that I have this skill is only known to the people in our studio. Even the new outer members of the club don't know about it. "
"About that …" Feng Bujue thought about it for a few seconds before replying. "Hmm … It doesn't hurt to tell you." He suddenly asked, "You've seen The Matrix, right?"
"I have. Of course, I've seen such a classic movie," Atobe replied. "Hmm? Why would you ask that? Are you trying to change the topic? "
Feng Bujue ignored him and continued. "To put it simply … I'm similar to the main character in the movie. In the game world, I have the power to see through the 'matrix code'."
"Ha!" Atobe guffawed. "Hahaha …" His laugh was fake. "Why don't you say you have superpower in real life?"
"I do." Feng Bujue's expression did not change as he replied calmly, "It's just that I haven't fully grasped how to use it."
"Oh …" Atobe nodded. He mimicked Brother Jue and said seriously, "To be honest … I suggest you go to a better hospital and see a psychiatrist."
To his surprise, Feng Bujue replied calmly, "If it's a psychiatrist, I went to see one when I was in the fifth grade. At the time, I found two adults who had information on me to pretend to be my parents and went to the hospital for a full examination and test." At this point, he used both of his hands to make quotation marks. "In the end, they gave me a 'normal' report."
After a pause of two seconds, Feng Bujue chuckled twice. "Haha … But recently, I found out that at the time, I was already being monitored by a mysterious government department. So now, I can't be sure … whether the report I received back then had been 'processed' or not. "
"Fine, fine … You win …" Atobe held his forehead with one hand and shook his head. "You're a novelist; I can't argue with you … I won't ask anymore. Just think of it as …" He raised his head and used both of his index and middle fingers to make quotation marks. "… being able to see through matrix codes." Then, he brought the topic back on track. "In any case, I do have the skill Icicle Mirror Wall, and it is indeed a consumable skill that will disappear after one use, so what?"
"I just want to tell you …" Feng Bujue replied. "No matter which plan you choose in the scenario, once the 'trap' that I've set up takes effect, you — Atobe — will face two to three members of Regulation One with the accompaniment of two NPCs. Among them, one of them will be Phantom Dawn, and the other two … no matter who they are, once they realize that the situation is not in their favor, they will stop at nothing to attack you. " He shrugged and continued. "When that happens, even without any analysis, you should understand that … the combination of any two of Drunken, Living, Dreaming, and Death will have the power to kill you instantly."
"You mean, when that moment arrives …" Atobe followed Brother Jue's train of thought. "… I will use Icicle Mirror Wall to counterattack?"
"No," Feng Bujue denied.
"Huh?" Atobe was stunned. "No?"
Feng Bujue instantly revealed a wicked smile. "When that moment arrives, you should …"
…
Time returned to the present.
When the Territory of Graffiti and Dragon Fist — Burst arrived, Atobe was already prepared.
He gripped the ground with both of his hands, and spirit energy gathered around him. As the skill was activated, a silvery-white, translucent, giant wall appeared.
— — — Name: Icicle Mirror Wall
Skill Property: Active Skill, Disappears after one use.
Skill Type: Sorcery
Effect: Create an icicle mirror wall that can last for five seconds. All the attacks that the mirror wall receives will be absorbed and converted into pure energy. This energy can be directed at any target within thirty meters according to the user's will. After five seconds, the energy that is not released will explode on the spot as the mirror wall disappears.
Consumption: Fifty percent of Maximum Stamina Points and Sorcery Points
[Learning Requirement: Level 50, Sorcery Mastery B, Fighting B]
Remark: This is an Ice Sorcery created by an unknown master. It provides absolute defense against all skills below Grade S, and it can absorb seventy percent of the damage from a Grade S skill. — — —
If this skill was changed to the "Permanent Mastery" version, it would definitely be an S-rank skill. However, Atobe's' consumable 'version had the same effect as the permanent version, but the learning requirement had been lowered.
When Atobe used the skill, Dianli Wang and Phantom Dawn had already seen through the skill's effect. They also thought that Atobe would use this skill to counter Lying Drunk and Understanding Death.
But … Atobe did not do that.
In the blink of an eye, Understanding Death's skill effect and Lying Drunk's fist landed on the mirror wall. Then, the translucent mirror wall was injected with a ball of colorful energy and a large golden dragon.
The two forces intertwined and swirled inside the mirror, and they soon formed a ball of colorful energy. It broke through the ice and headed straight for Phantom Dawn.
"Tsk … Not bad …"
Honestly speaking, Phantom Dawn was caught off guard by this sudden counterattack from Atobe, and he showed some panic, which was rare for him.
However, that was all there was to it …
"But it's useless against me!" Facing the giant energy ball that he could not evade, Phantom Dawn yelled and raised his right arm. "Right Hand of Denial!"
The audience had no idea what kind of skill this Right Hand of Denial was. In fact, if Phantom Dawn did not announce the skill's name, they would not have been able to tell whether it was a skill or not.
But they could still see the effect of the skill.
When Phantom Dawn used the skill, his arm was covered by a white light. Then, he used his right palm to catch the energy ball that was flying at him.
"This kid … could it be …" Seeing this, Sam Montier's expression shifted, and he grumbled internally, "Damn it … looks like I've been tricked by Feng Bujue again … Don't tell me he's trying to kill me with a borrowed knife …"
"So, that's how it is … No wonder he wants to hunt down the Twelve Hours …" On the other side, Dianli Wang was thinking about something else. "Since he has obtained the 'right hand', it means that he knows about the secret of the 'left hand' as well. If he manages to collect the Power of the Twelve Hours before Ragnarok, things will get out of hand … "
Tsk, tsk, tsk …
After a few seconds of stalemate, the energy ball was like an ice cream ball that was grilled under a spray gun. It dissipated in an instant.
"Phew …" After taking a deep breath, Phantom Dawn's arrogant smile returned to his face. "Atobe, is it? I used to think that Hyotei's captain was a weakling, but it looks like he is quite capable."
"Isn't this man a bit too powerful?" On Atobe's side, even though he tried his best to act calm on the surface, internally, he was already on the verge of breaking down. "The skill that Lying Drunk used to attack me should be Dragon Fist — Burst. Since it is a Grade S skill, I took thirty percent of the damage, and even that thirty percent took away half of my Life Points … But the man used one hand to block the energy from the Ice Mirror Wall, and he acted like nothing happened …"
"Alright, that's enough warm-ups." Phantom Dawn's voice soon returned, and his eyes moved to Sam Montier. "You're the tallest here, so I'll start with you …"
