Blaze Morrow and his forty-nine Lord teammates stood facing fifty Chiefs.
“Charge!” Blaze roared, leading the charge.
Lords against Chiefs, a whole tier apart, the Guardian Shadow didn’t stand a chance! If they were still living beings, they could try to break through on the spot. But the levels of the Guardian Shadow members were fixed.
From the very beginning, the battle was a one-sided massacre.
Only Violet’s resistance had any effect.
In the end, she self-destructed, taking three Lords down with her, but that was all she could do.
After several battles, Violet had gained nothing but an increasingly proficient grasp of self- destruction.
The Nightmare corps won the third match without any suspense, changing the score to 2:1. And so, Blaze Morrow and his forty-nine Lord teammates achieved the final victory! However, leveling up was easy, leveling down was not.
The forty-nine who had become Lords were naturally ineligible for the fourth tournament match.
Unlike the previous three matches, the fourth match was a special battle.
On a single-log bridge, both sides sent people to guard the bridge. Whoever broke through the opponent’s defense line first would win.
The Guardian Shadow, following the rules, sent out fifty Chiefs, still led by Violet.
The Nightmare corps, however, didn’t play by the rules.
They… only sent one person!
On the single-log bridge, Ace, holding a long spear, looked at the fifty people opposite him and waved his hand dismissively.
“You bunch of morons, come on and fucking die already, I gotta get back to sleep after this.” Trash-talking right from the start!
The Nightmare corps only sent Ace out, on one hand, because they believed in his strength, that he could take on fifty by himself.
On the other hand, it was Ace’s own request.
Because only in this way could he get the appearance fees of fifty Chiefs.
Since many of the vice-corps leaders of the Nightmare corps were Calderon’s students and apprentices, they agreed to Ace’s outrageous request.
This time, Violet didn’t charge ahead.
Because someone stopped her.
“Hold on,” Deathsinger, wearing a mask, whispered, “Let the others try first.”
If it was anyone else, Violet wouldn’t have listened.
But since it was Deathsinger’s suggestion, there must be a reason!
So, several members of the Guardian Shadow went up one after another, all easily defeated by Ace.
At the same tier, Ace was practically invincible.
His combat experience, skills, and talent were all crushing!
Most importantly, Ace wasn’t a theorist, he was a pragmatist!
He had truly come from the battlefield, his combat experience richer than anyone present.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the Guardian Shadow side was a bit heavy, and Violet couldn’t sit still.
“I’ll go up and blow myself up, you guys go in after he’s seriously injured!”
If it was anyone else, Violet’s plan might actually work.
But the problem was… Ace’s talent was special!
When he was seriously injured, his combat power doubled, the more injured he was, the stronger he became.
“No, don’t do that.”
Deathsinger stopped Violet.
“You can’t die with Ace.”
“Why?”
Violet looked at the other Shadows with a puzzled expression.
The Shadows nodded in unison, “Yes, you absolutely can’t die with Ace, his talent is that the more injured he is, the stronger he becomes!”
Violet’s brain froze.
“We can’t beat him, and we can’t self-destruct, aren’t we doomed to lose?”
In her opinion, not beating the Nightmare corps 5:0 was already a disgrace.
If they were overtaken by the opponent, how could she, the future Shadow One, save face?!
“Don’t worry.”
Deathsinger said leisurely, “Let’s study the rules and see if there are any loopholes we can exploit.”
Soon, the Shadows studied the rules and formulated a new battle plan.
When the Guardian Shadow launched their attack again, the situation didn’t change.
Ace was still as powerful as ever.
Shadows surged forward one after another, all defeated by Ace.
Until the last one, Violet, holding a short blade, rushed forward at lightning speed.
“You’re worthy of me using my weapon.”
Ace raised his long spear, ready for a fair duel with Violet.
But a white flash appeared before his eyes.
“Boom-”
Violet, playing dirty, self-destructed as soon as she got close!
The roar and white light of the explosion, at such close range, were unavoidable!
Ace was briefly stunned and blinded.
At that moment, another Shadow emerged from Violet’s shadow!
Mike rushed towards the finish line on the other side of the single-log bridge. As long as he
reached there, he would win!
His current identity was Deathsinger, he couldn’t possibly confront Ace head-on, or he would
be exposed!
He could only outsmart him.
“Trying to run?”
Ace spun his long spear, accurately hitting Mike’s back, but it struck a round shield.
“Roar-”
A certain vampire prince seemed to let out a wail.
Ace snorted coldly, “Any being at the Chief level hit by this spear, if they walk more than three freewebnvel.coɱ
steps, will definitely self-destruct and die!”
Mike: “…”
We’re all adults here, are you trying to fool a kid?!
Although he knew Ace was talking nonsense, Mike was in an awkward situation.
Five more steps, and he would win.
But Ace insisted that Mike could only take three steps!
If Mike wanted to keep the ‘Deathsinger’ sock, he had to play along with Ace’s lie.
But after putting so much effort into this tournament, Mike was unwilling to lose at the last
moment.
He couldn’t have both the sock and the victory.
Two seconds later, Deathsinger snorted coldly, “I’ve been practicing Fire Element magic since I was a child, my body is strong and healthy, far beyond ordinary people!”
Ace frowned, asking doubtfully, “Are you sure you can?”
Mike quickly took a few steps, “I can take at least six steps!”
The moment he reached the finish line, the shadow exploded, accompanied by an exaggerated
wail.
“Ah, I’m dead!”
Ace: “…”
At this point, the Guardian Shadow was wiped out, but Deathsinger had reached the finish line
before dying.
In an emergency referee meeting, it was decided by vote that the Guardian Shadow had won
this match.
Thus: the score was 3:1, the Guardian Shadow had won the Chief tier battle!
However, the Nightmare corps insisted on fighting one last match.
They still only sent out one participant – Ace.
And the Guardian Shadow sent out the more popular – Thor!
The fifth tournament match,
Ace vs. Thor, the highly anticipated battle between peers!
Begin!
A black shadow jumped onto the single-log bridge, looking at the incredibly arrogant Ace.
The shadow raised the Thunderclap Hammer in his hand and smiled mischievously, “I heard you’re strong? Can you withstand my hammer?”
