Chapter 354: Chapter 354: The Myth Terminator
“It seems you are very familiar with my tactics.” Li Yao attacked a few more times, but there was still little effect. Moreover, he made excellent use of the Iron Stone Demon.
It had reached a point of perfection. Behind the Stone Demon, it was extremely difficult for Li Yao to attack the Illusion God.
“Your videos are very good, and I have learned quite a lot from them.” The Illusion God spoke naturally as he learned, seeing nothing embarrassing about adopting and integrating the techniques pioneered by others.
In reality, every master is learning from others’ techniques, but there are indeed not many who can do so as candidly as Illusion God.
Illusion God was clearly on the defensive against Li Yao’s ricocheting arrow, even exposing flaws intentionally several times to lure Li Yao into shooting, leading his arrow attack to miss on purpose.
“Perhaps for the average viewer, these ten seconds seem very ordinary, but I must say, these ten seconds are incredibly exciting.” The handsome young commentator continued, “I guess many of you don’t know, the weapon in Prairie Fire’s hand is none other than the Blue Moon Bow, the only golden weapon currently causing an uproar.”
“Golden weapons are undoubtedly powerful, but you’ll understand its special effects once you see them.” Someone displayed the attributes of the Blue Moon Bow on the screen.
“Turns out this bow has trickled through many hands in the Light Faction auction house, each of whom were duped into losing at least two levels. After that, no one dared to use this bow. But surprisingly, Prairie Fire got his hands on it. It’s not strange, though, considering Prairie Fire’s expertise in archery. This bow can only show its dignity as a golden weapon in his hands.”
“Now back to the game, why do I say that this seemingly ordinary process was actually thrilling? Because Illusion God clearly recognized this unique golden weapon, and couldn’t possibly be unaware of its drawbacks. In these ten seconds, Illusion God exposed himself three or four times, which is impossible. So, his only objective is to lure Prairie Fire into attacking him, and Prairie Fire has no choice but to seize these opportunities.”
“Illusion God’s objective is to cause Prairie Fire’s arrows to miss, although making Prairie Fire miss twice in a row is almost impossible. But even intermittent misses can deplete Prairie Fire’s health.”
Many regular viewers suddenly understood. They had just seen Illusion God narrowly escape from attacks three times. Instead, they now realized that it was all intentional.
“But,” the commentator immediately replayed the scene and said: “you see, Prairie Fire keeps firing ricocheting arrows, aiming to attack Illusion God, but Illusion God barely manages to avoid them. However, the arrows, after bouncing off, always hit an intended target.”
In the shot, Li Yao’s ricocheting arrow bypassed Illusion God and hit one of the skeletons summoned by Illusion God after bouncing off.
“I’m sure most of you would like to believe this is a coincidence. But Prairie Fire’s ricocheting technique is clear to all, which makes it more terrifying when it isn’t a coincidence. Prairie Fire has to shoot in a very short time while figuring out where the arrow will hit if it misses the target. This requires terrifying calculations and predictions, especially when those skeletons are also moving around the battleground, they are not stationary targets.”
Only through the commentator’s explanation did they understand there were additional nuances in the battle. Most players couldn’t comprehend it, but when explained, they could appreciate the thrill and shock of it all.
Though the battle between the two wasn’t long, everyone’s emotions were like a roller coaster.
When Illusion God started to play, they imagined that even if Prairie Fire could exchange blows with Illusion God, the final outcome would be Prairie Fire falling.
However, they no longer had the confidence they had at the beginning.
“Illusion God is indeed careful, but luckily I have other methods.” Behind Li Yao, a pair of Angel’s Wings sprouted, and he suddenly took flight as he said, “I’ve already experienced Illusion God’s strength. Let’s end this game.”
Meanwhile, the Hydra unleashed an ice explosion, killing the Golden Giant.
The Hydra was covered in wounds, clearly showing signs of a challenging battle, and the price paid was not minuscule — two of its heads were reduced to half health. Upon receiving Li Yao’s command, the Hydra did not rush over but watched Li Yao and Illusion God’s final battle in anticipation.
Li Yao’s takeoff was extremely sudden, and he was very swift. As he flew upward, he managed to find the appropriate angle to release the Steel Arrow.
Thud…
Illusion God made every effort to dodge, but the distance was too close, and the Necromancer wasn’t good at repositioning. Caught off guard, Illusion God was struck by the arrow.
The two ghosts revolving around Illusion God’s body immediately emitted a wailing screech as they were pierced by the Steel Arrow, and then shattered apart with a clatter.
Then, the bone armor encircling Illusion God’s body also burst into pieces, greatly reducing the power of the Steel Arrow.
-789
Upon seeing this damage number, the experts who knew what was happening paled.
This damage was too terrifying. The ghosts absorbed the damage, and the bone armor also absorbed the damage. Even after the double-layered absorption, it could still deal almost eight hundred damage.
If it weren’t for the two layers of protection, Illusion God would have been killed instantly by the arrow.
However, Illusion God did not panic but kept his eyes firmly locked on Li Yao as he zipped past. As Li Yao flew over his head, there was a hint of resignation in Illusion God’s eyes.
He quickly and the Iron Stone Demon switched positions, but Li Yao had already turned around in his flight, his body shining with a red gleam, which clearly indicated the use of Rapid Shooting.
“It’s over.”
As Li Yao spoke, his fingers had already let go, and the Steel Arrow was fired. At the same time…
Time Trace!
Li Yao returned to the moment just before he fired the arrow that hit Illusion God.
His figure disappeared from one spot and reappeared in the initial position. His fingers trembled rapidly again, and consecutive arrows aimed at different positions were let loose.
Everyone was stunned, because Illusion God had just managed to switch positions with the Stone Demon, and Li Yao had also returned to his original location using Time Trace.
At this moment, Illusion God was totally exposed to Li Yao, completely unprotected.
The crux was that Li Yao hadn’t given him any chance to turn this match around.
Three arrows, each targeting different directions, were released. Right now, Illusion God could withdraw his sidestep, but he would inevitably be hit by the arrow from behind.
But if he steadied his sidestep, he would inevitably run into the oncoming arrow; on the left was the Stone Demon, and if he rolled to the right, he would collide with the arrow coming from the side.
Time seemed to have been slowed down with this scene, and countless viewers gasped. Shock, anger, and disbelief filled their minds.
Thud…
Even though Illusion God was formidable, he was not immortal. He could not break this killing move and was hit directly by the oncoming Steel Arrow.
The Steel Arrow pierced through his throat, and his life was instantly drained. He then fell onto the ground…
