Chapter 346: Chapter 346: First Use of Combo Skills (Additional Chapter for 100 Monthly Votes)
This was another extremely impressive move.
The cheers never stopped, as it is known that the reason why the Hydra is called Hydra is that it has a neck like a sea snake.
Its neck is very long and it has a large stature which results in a casting range that cannot be calculated in normal terms.
This is also a peculiar mechanics issue in the ancient god world, many casting ranges can be clearly marked out, but there is always a difference when it comes to actual calculations.
For example, as the Hydra, when calculating the casting range, you also consider the projection of its neck length, of course, there’s also the issue of flexibility.
For example, if the Hydra’s neck is not flexible enough, its breath range is likely to be limited to what’s in front of it or even if it moves, the coverage is also limited.
But the Hydra’s neck is incredibly flexible, which means it can quickly move its head when breathing, covering a large area.
This means that the Hydra’s breath can adjust the angle of attack according to the blink or movement of Law.
This kind of persistent spell, though not targeted, can be adjusted, and so in theory it might be similar to traditional spells. This makes dodging the Hydra’s breath very difficult.
Even if he keeps blinking, however, Law has done it. He not only evaded the Hydra’s breath attack but also once again approached Li Yao.
As long as he blinks a little more, he could attack Li Yao.
Therefore, the cheers and applause in the arena erupted once again.
Everyone knows he is a mage, and the fight with Tie Niu in the first round showed how twisted the Hydra’s attacks are. Such a spell, if endured without an ice box, can kill you instantly even with intermediate frost resistance.
Frost resistance can only reduce frost’s effects and damage, but it doesn’t make him immune to it.
“Prairie Fire, you still don’t dare to fight me? You’re too timid,” Law had lost his previous anger and displayed a cold and stern face, showing his initial fury was just an act.
Li Yao laughed, “You’re ungrateful. If I’d hit you earlier, you would already be dead.”
“Making excuses, are you still bold enough to claim you can defeat me in one minute?” Law mocked coldly.
“I have to admit, your performance just now was very exciting. But if you think you can last a minute against me, you’re just too naive. There are thirty seconds left. That’s enough to finish you off,” Li Yao slowly gripped the Blue Moon Bow. With a swing of his arm, the Blue Moon Bow turned into a full moon shape: “One arrow can finish you off. If I shoot a second one, I lose.”
There were jeers throughout the stadium. Li Yao might be powerful, but in their eyes, Law was no weakling. Even if he wasn’t a match for Li Yao, to think one arrow could finish him was just too much of a boast.
“Hydra, you don’t need to attack him anymore, lest this heap of garbage alleges I’m being dishonorable,” Li Yao slowly pulled open the Blue Moon Bow, and shimmered a golden light. Everyone saw that Li Yao was planning to kill Law with his Charged Arrow.
“Nonsense, using a Charged Arrow to kill a mage, is so naive.”
“He’s got a big mouth on him, this is utterly insane.”
“It’s more than just insane, he has no idea who he is.”
“Ha, he thinks he’s a pro, can he only brag?”
The experts in the audience, all began to ridicule, nobody believed he could kill Law with one arrow under these circumstances.
After all, everyone knows that the first shot of a hunter was easy to dodge, the difficult part was the second arrow. Thanks to Li Yao’s teachings, all the hunters knew that the enemy’s actions could be predicted by the first arrow’s attack. Although standing still would reveal your weaknesses, it is also when you are most invincible.
In their opinion, Li Yao was setting himself up for embarrassment, indeed this theory was developed from his own tutorials.
Law was about 100 yards from Li Yao, in two or three seconds his spells could also start to attack Li Yao.
But seeing Li Yao’s Charged Arrow, he suddenly stopped. Although he has never tasted Li Yao’s attack, he still knows very well that Li Yao could kill him with one arrow.
Moreover, he felt that there was no need to take risks. As long as he dodged the arrow, he would win this match. Therefore, he focused all his attention on how to dodge this arrow.
A glint shot from Li Yao’s eyes, and he suddenly let go.
Whoosh…
A shining yellow light, like lightning, charged towards Law.
‘You’re so naive to think you can kill me with an arrow.”
Law sneered and sidestepped, avoiding the arrow shot at him.
“An arrow, you missed, you wouldn’t say…”
Before Law could finish his sentence, he felt a pain in his back. Looking down, he saw an arrow tip stained with blood.
Then, a look of shock and disbelief flashed in his eyes as his life bar emptied and fell to the ground.
Law died with his eyes wide open, not understanding until the end how he had died.
“I said I’d finish you off with one arrow, and I did just that,” Li Yao calmly swung his arm, turning the bow back into a crescent shape and put away his Blue Moon Bow.
The cheering from the audience for Law hadn’t even completely subsided when it suddenly stopped and exclamations of surprise started.
The result was just too unexpected. They clearly knew what had happened, but because of that they felt even more astonished; this arrow was beyond belief.
“What happened, I clearly dodged the arrow, how was I hit?” Law, who had been resurrected in the spectator stand, asked indignantly while suppressing his anger.
“You died from ricocheting,” said Tie Niu, with a sympathetic face.
Li Yao, you’re a freak but you do give me some face. This poor man is pitiful, not even knowing how he died is really tragic.
“Dude, you can see it for yourself.” A good-hearted player shared a video.
Law stared at the screen, where he saw himself evading the Charged Arrow just as the Hydra moved slightly.
When he dodged the Charged Arrow, it hit the body of the Hydra. Since the Hydra was Li Yao’s pet, it was not damaged at all.
However, instead of disappearing, the arrow quickly rebounded.
Law had been relaxed when he dodged, without anticipating a rebound. The rebounding Charged Arrow shot directly into his back-heart.
“This is not possible, how does a Charged Arrow have the effect of a bouncing arrow?” Law roared.
Everyone looked at him with pity in their eyes, wondering just how Li Yao had killed him. Dying without knowing how, he had lost face terribly…
