"Tsk … After all, this is the first disciplinary team. Even the captain is dead."
Not long after that, Doomsday Assault and Final Assault, who were on the other side of Stone Canyon, received the news that First and Last King had been killed through the game menu.
"Including Fei Kou, who died five minutes ago," Doomsday Assault said. "We have lost two people. The situation is not looking good."
"Hmm … I wonder if the captain and Fei Kou killed any enemy members before they died," Final Assault said. "If the other three members are still alive, I'm afraid we …"
"Don't worry, they did kill one of us." At that moment, a third voice joined their conversation.
The duo understood that their teammates were no longer in this scenario, so the person who spoke was most likely their enemy. As a result, the two of them moved quickly upon hearing the sound. They instantly leaped to the sides and pulled apart a certain distance from each other. Then, they assumed a fighting stance.
"You sure have fast reflexes." Phantom Dawn said as he descended from the sky to stand before the two. "And … you are calmer than I expected."
In Thriller Paradise, there was no one who did not know this young man with unruly red hair and an arrogant expression who looked like a living Yaksha.
However, this was the first time that the two from Zombie Blade had seen Phantom Dawn in real life.
"Based on your presence …" Final Assault looked at Phantom Dawn and said seriously, "You must be the legendary …"
"That's enough …" Phantom Dawn did not give the man a chance to finish. "I am just a young dropout working at a gaming studio." His eyes scanned the two expressionless faces before him. "If you want to say what is so special about me … it is that I am slightly more talented at gaming." He paused. "At least I do not need to rely on drugs to stabilize my emotions and increase my reaction speed."
"We have no idea what you are talking about," Doomsday Assault said darkly.
"Oh … Is that the excuse that your studio's public relations department came up with? You don't understand? " Phantom Dawn said in a noncommittal tone. "Ha … I think I know why your studio has such a bad reputation."
"Stop wasting time!" Final Assault did not wish to speak too much on this topic. He immediately shouted, "If you want to fight, then let's fight!"
"That's right …" Doomsday Assault had a vicious expression on his face, or at least he tried his best to show that expression. "Don't think that just because you're at the top of the player ranking, you can defeat me …"
"Are you guys misunderstanding something?" Phantom Dawn interrupted the man again. His eyes were sharp as he replied coldly, "I never said I would fight two against one."
"What did you say?" Final Assault seemed to have heard some sort of message from the other party's words. He immediately shifted his gaze and vigilantly scanned his surroundings.
"My teammates aren't here, and I don't mean what you think I mean." Phantom Dawn saw through their thoughts, so he added, "Allow me to explain the current situation to you …" He paused for half a second before continuing. "First, your team's King of Empty Mouths used some kind of method … and successfully died together with our team's Lying Drunk. "Secondly, your King of Empty Mouths was just killed by our team's Meng Jingchan. Including the Sashimi that was killed by the two of you not long ago, our combat power is now two against two. However, Brother Zen is currently very far away from here, so you don't need to worry about him suddenly appearing from somewhere. "
Final Assault listened to Phantom Dawn's description, and they were skeptical because they could not understand how the man had managed to obtain such information.
According to the rules, in this preliminaries mode, players could only see the status of their own teammates in the team column. As for information about the enemy team … other than the team name (provided that the opponent did not use a privacy protection function to hide their team name), nothing else was known.
But at that moment, Phantom Dawn very accurately reported the ID, time of death, and even the names of the other two members of Zombie Blade's first team who had died. Normally, this could only mean two things. One, Phantom Dawn was very good at reconnaissance, and two, Phantom Dawn was very good at bluffing.
"You two don't seem to believe me, right?" Seeing the lack of response from the two, Phantom Dawn added, "Indeed, logically speaking, there is no need for me to tell you this. But if I report the death of my teammates, it will make me look like I'm playing some kind of trick. " He smiled. "Ha … Of course, it doesn't matter what you think. This' honesty 'of mine is not the main point."
Phantom Dawn's tone was relaxed, and that put a lot of pressure on the other party. "The main point is …" He shrugged. "To be honest, I have not battled with a player for a long time already." The way he said those words didn't seem like he was joking at all. And this … was the part that made people shudder. "Ever since I reached the maximum level, fighting against other players has become very boring to me. Not to mention one against two, even one against ten, or one against a hundred, it's all the same to me. No matter how many small fries come at me … it is meaningless. To compete with me on equal terms, at least seven players in the top thirty on the power ranking have to work together. And you … "The way he looked at the duo was filled with condescension." Obviously, you don't fit that requirement. "
"Humph … This is the funniest joke I've ever heard." Several seconds later, Final Assault forced out a chuckle and said, "One against one hundred? You've lost your mind … At the same level, even if it's a professional player fighting a newbie, one against five is already the limit. One against ten? That's nonsense! "
"That's right!" Doomsday Assault added. "Other than that … if a player is matched with two players who are on the same level as him on the power ranking (Due to the large number of players, there are many players who are considered to be on the same level by the system, and this' on the same level 'usually refers to the top twenty players on the ranking), then the player is already in a difficult situation. And you said … you need seven players in the top thirty on the power ranking to fight you? Humph … "He scoffed." Kid … if you're just bluffing, then you're exaggerating a bit too much, but if you're serious … then let me give you a piece of advice — there's a limit to your arrogance! "
"Hah …" After hearing what the two had to say, Phantom Dawn scoffed with condescension. "Your reaction is the same as most people, but I don't blame you …" As he spoke, there was a glow in his eyes. "The human mind is always limited by the things that they know, and they have a rude refusal to believe in the unknown."
When he said that, a gust of white data gathered behind Phantom Dawn and soon morphed into a strange black creature.
It was a giant monster about two and a half meters tall, with the head of a horse and the body of a man. It was clad in a full set of black armor and had a huge sword at its waist. Its exposed head and neck were the head of a black-maned horse. It had ten fingers on its gauntlets, but the part below its knees was still a pair of huge hooves.
"So, that's how it is …" Final Assault mumbled when he saw the monster. "Using a summoned creature to make up for the disadvantage in numbers …"
"To be exact, this is called a 'double'," Phantom Dawn corrected. "Allow me to make the introductions …" He raised his hand to point at the giant monster. "This is my stand-in — Nightwalker."
"What double? At the end of the day, it's still a summoned creature," Doomsday Assault said. "Even if it's a grade S summoned creature, its combat ability is no match for professional players like us."
"Is that so?" Phantom Dawn said as he sat down on a rock. He looked like he was ready to watch a good show. "Then, you can give it a try." He placed his hands behind his head and leisurely leaned against the stone pillar. He looked up at the sky and muttered, "Although it was slightly injured when dealing with 'Heavenly Stone', it should be enough to deal with the two of you."
"Sky Stone …" Final Assault hesitated for two seconds before he remembered the name. "You mean … the First Hourman under the Master of Time, Sky Stone?"
To this day, information about the Four Pillar Gods, the Twelve Hourly Officials, the Nine Undead Leaders, the Jury, and the Chaos Demon Generals had long been summarized by the players on the forum. There were even some who had speculated about the various storylines and personnel changes that these NPCs had experienced in the Overworld. They had even sorted out the corresponding timelines … Therefore, it was normal for the Final Assault to know Heavenstone's name.
"Ah … That's him," Phantom Dawn said weakly. Phantom Dawn replied weakly. "After entering this scenario, I noticed that there was a very high number not far away from our battlefield, so I went to visit him alone. I didn't expect that … the moment he saw me, he showed such obvious hostility. " He licked his lips. "This Hourman was very powerful, and he had about fifty Stone Soldiers with him. I had to summon Taxa, Undertaker, and Water Demon to deal with him."
"What … did you say?" Even though he was drugged, when Doomsday Assault heard that, he felt chills run up his spine. "You used three summoned creatures to deal with the First Hourman …"
"I will correct you again …" Phantom Dawn interrupted. "I have one 'double', two 'shikigami', and three 'psychic beasts', but they are nothing like the 'summoned creatures' that you know. You'd better not confuse them, or else …" Phantom Dawn snapped his fingers. "You will pay the price."
At the instant he snapped his fingers, Night Treader … moved!
Who would have thought that this gigantic body double would have such astonishing speed? It raised its greatsword and charged towards the Final Strike. Its power was no less than that of an A-level Fighting Mastery player.
