Chapter 297: Chapter 297: The Web of the Black Widow (Additional Update with 1050 Votes)
Li Yao’s eyes suddenly flung open, as the surrounding situation infused itself into his brain.
Under his command, the Hawkman Skeletons soaring in the sky quickly scattered. According to Li Yao’s orders, they had already locked onto the players below.
People at nightfall had grown impatient, given the previous experiences, no one could keep their calm. For them, time had turned into torture.
“Why does it take so long this time? It’s illogical.” The Prosperous Era’s cousin was feeling edgy.
Nightfall, on the other hand, was unusually calm. He had completely cooled down, dispelling the rage of being killed twice, “Don’t rush. He’s certain to come.”
“Did we block all the loopholes? He might not have a chance to strike,” said the Prosperous Era’s cousin. Usually calm, he appeared restless. Unlike Nightfall, he was not as accepting, always hoping to keep Prairie Fire at bay.
“Nothing in this world is 100 percent certain. Didn’t we assume we had no weaknesses for the first two times? But he still found them,” said Unparalleled Demoness. “Don’t be restless, learn from your elder brother. Do you think only you are anxious? Perhaps Prairie Fire is even more so. By posting on the forum, he didn’t just push you, Prosperous Era, onto a dead-end, he also cornered himself. Therefore, no matter how the third outcome turns out, he will certainly come.”
The Prosperous Era’s cousin nodded and took a deep breath: “We’ll rely on Moon then. If she can hinder him, he will be unable to fly even with wings.”
Unparalleled Demoness seemed unconcerned, nodding, “I also want to compete against such a master. After this matter, we’re even, I don’t owe you anything.”
“No matter the outcome, we will have no further obligations to each other.” Nightfall was about to continue when his expression swiftly darkened, “Get out of the way, quickly!”
Someone had already seen the flash of lightning looming overhead.
Zila…
Lightning balls erupted simultaneously from hundreds of Silver British Skeletons, unexpectedly exploding from above their heads.
In a blink of an eye, nearly a hundred elite players from the Prosperous Era Guild were knocked out.
Approximately five hundred elite players from the Prosperous Era arrived in groups, each squad led by a healer.
Li Yao’s command was for all Silver British Skeletons to target a healer and then unleash a powerful spell.
Before initiating the attack, he even released a Repair Robot. The hundreds of skeletons then quickly received buffs from either the Holy Shield or Wind Fury.
Out of the nearly hundreds of healers attacked, only a few special elite classes had either noticed the situation in the sky early or were lucky enough to avoid the continuous attacks of Wind Fury to survive.
Furthermore, Li Yao even ordered ten Silver British Skeletons to unleash an Area Spell above Nightfall, promptly causing the players protecting Nightfall to disperse and flee from the Area Spell.
The players in that area were strong team members, the elite masters of the Prosperous Era Guild. Their reactions were quick, with only a few unable to escape due to their unfavorable positions.
Nightfall was the guild leader, prioritized for protection by healers, so he had not been taken out.
However, when he stood firm and looked at the situation around him, his previously calm demeanor had darkened like a stormcloud. His face had turned extremely ugly.
It was too disastrous. In just an instant, he lost twenty percent of his manpower, mainly consisting of crucial healers.
“Prairie Fire!” Nightfall’s anger had truly been ignited. He knew Li Yao would come. The third assassination was inevitable, but he didn’t expect Li Yao to use such an audacious method.
“It seems you hate me a lot. I will make you hate me more.”
As Li Yao spoke, he pulled the trigger. “Phew.”
“Phew.”
The distance between them was too far for ordinary spells or weapons, but it was too close for a sniper rifle, a mere hundred meters.
Further empowered by the power of a wild bull, the bullet was incredibly fast. At such close quarters, even Li Yao would struggle to dodge the sniper rifle, let alone Nightfall. Bypassing the brain’s signal to dodge, the bullet had already arrived.
The sniper’s bullet passed through Nightfall’s throat, leaving a spray of blood in its wake.
“Damn, kill him.” The cousin of the Prosperous Era was on the verge of going crazy. They considered that Li Yao would use various ways to sneak and assassinate Nightfall, but they never thought that Li Yao could be so audacious to appear in front of them and directly take out Nightfall.
“You won’t escape today.”
Transplanting Flowers and Trees!
When the Area Spell attack came, Unparalleled Demoness used the Substitution Technique. Struck by the Area Spell, she entered a stealth state.
This was the terrifying aspect of the rogueoes. Although they might not directly enter stealth, provided the timing is right, they can become invisible at any time during a battle.
The timing she chose was impeccable. When Li Yao pulled the trigger, before he could even lower or retract his sniper rifle, while still retreating from the shock, his position was swapped with the previous position of the Unparalleled Demoness.
“Kill him.” The cousin of the Prosperous Era roared as he charged forward: “Northern long-range professionals target Prairie Fire, kill. Others, restrain these undead, steady yourselves, do not sustain more losses.”
The other melee fighters also advanced. Since they were protecting Nightfall, only tanks were available here, while the ranged fighters were out of the attack range. After hearing the order from the cousin of the Prosperous Era, the ranged fighters from the north, disregarding the undead, charged towards Li Yao.
But Li Yao had no intention of sitting idle, he had long commanded that, after killing the healer, the second target for the undead would be long-ranged, squishy classes. Without healers, the long-ranged, squishy classes kept falling one after another.
As for Li Yao, he was transplanted during the retreat process induced by the shock.
Shadow Step!
After transplanting, Unparalleled Demoness did not cease her actions, but immediately used Shadow Step.
Visually, the two switched places instantly. Then Unparalleled Demoness’s graceful figure appeared to follow Li Yao to her original position.
Sky-kicking!
Pa…
Before Li Yao could shake off the effects of the shock, he felt a sting in his lower back.
Without a second thought, he knew that he had been chain attacked by the Rogue, and his face instantly changed. He released a deterrence…
Li Yao’s health, in combination with the shock from the sniper rifle, had already lost six or seven hundred. He had lost a quarter of his health.
A circle of magic weapons surrounded Li Yao, but deterrence could only block physical damage, and it could not solve the control. Li Yao did have the Medal of Honor, but it was not the time to use it. Squandering the Medal of Honor at this moment would be tantamount to seeking death.
Li Yao’s body was sent tumbling into the sky by a kick from Unparalleled Demoness, and throughout this process, he was being controlled and couldn’t do anything.
Black Widow’s Web!
Ka ka…
A magic spider web appeared in the void, and Li Yao was stuck in the center of the web. At this moment, Unparalleled Demoness was like a black widow spider that had caught its prey.
The players of the Prosperous Era let out a cheer. Finally, they had cornered Li Yao…
