Volume 7, Chapter 35 – A Hasty Ending

“Arcane Red Torrent, this kind of ability is almost unsolvable…”

Taking a deep breath, after copying Andrew’s Arcane Torrent skill, Tianyin couldn’t help sucking in a cold breath.

Before this, Tianyin had never thought there would be a skill that could directly cause silence. Even though the settings of this world were a world with some data, a lot of skill settings were still divided according to rank. And a skill like silence was something ordinary people simply wouldn’t have.

“This ability is way too bugged, Yunchou is going to suffer!”

Even if she was shocked in her heart, Tianyin was still happy to see Yunchou get humiliated. After all, for Yunchou, that “reborn one” with unclear meaning, Tianyin had no idea whether he was an enemy or a friend.

And for now, Tianyin believed Yunchou was her enemy.

「Not necessarily, Xiaoyin.」

As Tianyin thought this, Samael’s voice sounded faintly.

「Xiaoyin. By what you said, Yunchou is that special kind of person who has seen the future. With that kind of ability, how could an accident like this happen?」

『Ah…』

Hearing Samael’s words, Tianyin’s smug mood immediately sobered up.

『I almost forgot… Yunchou is also someone with a cheat, just like me…』

「Pfft, I don’t understand what that cheat means coming out of your mouth, Xiaoyin, but it feels like it’s not a compliment.」

『Well, it really isn’t a good meaning. But going by what you said, Samael, Yunchou definitely has a backup plan. But what exactly is his backup plan?』

Reαԁ οո КαtRеаⅾinɡСafе

Tianyin couldn’t figure it out no matter how she thought.

But very quickly, on the battlefield, Yunchou, who had endured Andrew’s Arcane Torrent, made a new move.

And Yunchou’s move was extremely decisive. It was just that after Andrew closed in and unleashed Arcane Torrent, Yunchou seized the opening when Andrew let his guard down and directly drew his sword and thrust diagonally.

Clang—!

A crisp sword cry rang through the sky. The sword Yunchou thrust out flickered with the radiance of holy light, and carried an unmatched momentum. With this sword, the whole world seemed to have overly reduced to only this crisp sword cry.

“What!”

The instant Yunchou swung his sword, Andrew reacted. But how fast was a Throne-tier existence when swinging a sword?

When Andrew reacted, it was already too late!

Pssh—!

In the next second, fresh blood could be seen instantly spilling out along Andrew’s waist.

“Huh? A mage going in close, isn’t that just asking to get beaten?”

“Throwing the match? A dignified Throne-tier is throwing the match?”

“I can’t understand, can’t understand. He did a bunch of moves like a beast, and then you look at the record and it’s zero kills five deaths ¹ It’s not a literal five deaths. It just means he was playing aggressively and had an upper hand, but couldn’t kill at all. . This Andrew is supposedly the emperor of the Arcane Empire? What an international joke?”

In the stands, all the spectating players were in an uproar.

Reаd οո KαtRеaⅾіոgCαfе

These players didn’t know Andrew’s purpose for closing in was to silence Yunchou’s abilities. So in all players’ eyes, that was Andrew being stubborn and wanting to fight Yunchou, a Paladin, in melee, and then getting cut down by Yunchou in one sword.

“This… what is going on?”

Compared to the players in the stands, Tianyin, who clearly knew Andrew had indeed just used the skill Arcane Torrent, was extremely puzzled.

“Isn’t this too strange? Why can Yunchou still use Paladin power? By rights, he should’ve been silenced.”

「…I don’t know either.」

To Tianyin’s confusion, Samael also sighed with some helplessness.

After all, the judgment of Andrew’s Arcane Torrent had already taken effect, so by rights, Yunchou couldn’t have used Paladin abilities to swing that sword.

But the fact was, Yunchou was extremely decisive, without the slightest hesitation he used Paladin power that should’ve been unusable, and swung that sword.

「See, I wasn’t wrong, Xiaoyin. You absolutely can’t look down on Yunchou. A dead end like this in our eyes might get broken apart like it was nothing. I have to say, Yunchou is really dangerous…」

『Mm. I understand.』

Tianyin nodded seriously, her gaze tightly locked onto Yunchou in the arena.

And on the battlefield, Andrew, who had been wounded by Yunchou’s sword, instantly used blink magic to pull back the distance. And by rights, as an Arcane mage, after getting wounded by Yunchou, Andrew should have instantly lost his combat power. But after pulling back the distance, the Andrew who had just been bleeding nonstop, his wound actually began to slowly heal!

And overhead, the HP bar that had just been cut down by half by Yunchou’s sword was also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Impossible, this is my first time using Arcane Torrent, how could you ignore Arcane Torrent’s silence effect?”

Hearing Andrew’s questioning voice from after he pulled back the distance, Yunchou raised his eyebrows.

“Oh? You mean my abilities should be unusable? That’s really kind of funny.”

After slowly finishing this sentence, Yunchou looked calm.

“No… Yunchou, stop pretending! My Arcane Torrent can even silence Throne-tier power! There’s no way it would fail against you when you had no preparation!”

Looking at the disbelieving Andrew, Yunchou helplessly shook his head.

“Alright, to be honest, since you’re my enemy, I definitely have the corresponding ‘channel’ to obtain your information. Is that reason fine?”

“Corresponding channel? Impossible, hardly anyone knows about these things… you!”

Halfway through, Andrew’s expression became extremely colorful.

And looking at Andrew’s expression changing drastically, Yunchou very decisively sheathed the sword in his hand.

“Hm? What’s with them?”

Seeing Yunchou suddenly sheathe his sword, Tianyin looked completely confused.

「Don’t know, it looks like after saying something, it suddenly became like this…」

In her mind, Samael also couldn’t understand Yunchou’s move in that instant.

And while Tianyin and Samael looked confused, on the battlefield, after Andrew’s expression changed several times, it returned to calm again.

“Yunchou… looks like I was still thinking too highly of you. I originally thought you became Throne-tier by relying on your own power. Turns out you also rely on outside help.”

“Hah… same to you.”

Yunchou replied with a smile.

“Hmph! Since you’ve already seized the initiative in intel, there’s no need for this fight to continue. This time I’ll just concede directly. If there’s a chance next time, we’ll fight again.”

After leaving those words to save face, Andrew immediately chose to forfeit.

════════♡════════ ❀ System ❀ ────────♡──────── ✿ Battle ended ✿ Player Yunchou obtained victory ════════♡════════

Very quickly, all the players watching this match received the System’s prompt.

“Hm? I just got my popcorn and my fat-nerd happy drink ready, and you’re telling me it’s over?”

“That’s it? This is a Throne-tier battle? Are you sure this isn’t a fixed match?”

“Learned something. A battle between Throne-tiers ends faster than ordinary players. The losing side just feeds a head and that’s it?”

Compared to the players’ nonstop discussion, as the “guide” behind everything, Yunchou was very clear on how he managed to end the fight so quickly.
