Chapter 1280: Shadow Moonlight
If it was as Boundless Ocean had said, Spring Halo had already calculated all the variables the moment Smooth As Silk went into [Stealth]. He had even taken into account his skill cast time and even the time that Smooth As Silk started to rush at him with [Haste[.
Because he had taken into account all factors, he had achieved a precise result.
Although this explanation was more believable compared to believing that Spring Halo had the ability to see through stealth, it was still difficult for people to stomach.
He was just a normal mortal after all. How strong was his predictive ability? Could he calculate a satellite orbit with just his mind? If the human race was at his level, we would not have the need for a calculator.
However, many might not have known that Spring Halo never required a calculator in his day job. Such calculations were similar to a simple equation in his mind.
The human potential could be manifested through sheer physical mastery like Wang Yu and also through unmatched brainpower in Spring Halo. It was no wonder that he was the strongest player in Quan Zhen Sect back when Wang Yu had yet to join.
...
The slow-motion replayed rolled on the big screen. As the Kyushu Squad finished watching, they finally believed Boundless Ocean. They sighed, “I can’t believe that there were such extraordinary players with special abilities. Why did you not say earlier if you knew he was so formidable?”
Boundless Ocean replied incredulously, “I have only heard legends of his prowess before. I did not know his level of skill was refined to such a high level.”
Even players from the Quan Zhen Sect were stunned by Spring Halo’s skill.
In the past, Spring Halo had demonstrated his other skills like locating a player’s location through their voice. However, his demonstration of skill today dwarfed any other skills he had previously.
Wang Yu exclaimed, “Brother Spring Halo is really god-like... He would definitely be a good seed to study martial arts.”
“Pfft!” Ming Du scoffed, “My mental calculations are pretty fast too!!”
“Oh?” Fearless raised his brows at him, “What is 126 times 542?”
Ming Du blurted within a second thought, “84454”.
“Wow! That’s so fast!” Wang Yu was astonished. Was Ming Du as capable as Spring Halo?
“What nonsense!” Fearless rolled his eyes at him, “That’s completely wrong!”
Ming Du declared proudly, “I only said that my mental calculations is fast. I didn’t claim that it was accurate!”
“F*ck off!”
...
Just as everyone was busy joking around, Smooth As Silk was finally unrotted. Because of Spring Halo’s poison, his HP had dropped by 20% and it was still falling at a steady rate. His speed was also down by 30%.
Unlike Smooth As Silk, the spectators had a clear and unbiased view of the battle. Smooth As Silk was feeling extremely aggrieved.
As soon as he regained his freedom, Smooth As Silk raised his dagger and directed it towards Spring Halo.
Spring Halo’s battle strategy was all about control. He could micromanage every aspect of the battle, so how could he miss the haphazard stab from Smooth As Silk who was even slowed by the poison?
Seeing Smooth As Silk rushing towards him, Spring Halo took one step back to gain distance. Before Smooth As Silk could even complete two steps, his feet were entangled in a sea of thorns.
Spring Halo took out three poison darts and flicked it deftly towards Smooth As Silk.
Smooth As Silk was only immobilised in his lower body. With his hands, he used his dagger to deflect the oncoming projectiles. He concentrated power in his legs and leaped into the air forcefully.
“Peng!”
With the sound of the splitting of a broken rope, Smooth As Silk managed to free himself from Spring Halo’s traps. He grasped the hilt of his dagger menacingly and lunged towards Spring Halo.
“Haha!”
Spring Halo turned his body into a mass of black fog as he saw Smooth As Silk approaching. Smooth As Silk could only see his strike hit the air.
Spring Halo slowly fluttered towards Smooth As Silk in his black fog form and fog turned into a fierce poisonous mist that engulfed his opponent.
Awakening [Mind Devouring Myriad Poison].
Although a Shaman was not a damage heavy class, with its awakening skills, the damage it could inflict was terrifying.
“Swoosh!”
Smooth As Silk’s HP bar declined sharply and was now declining at a rate of 200 points per second.
Smooth As Silk finally experienced the full prowess of Spring Halo. Realising that his defeat was imminent, Smooth As Silk turned back quickly to gain distance.
This terrain was not small so if he were to give leeway for an Assassin to run, Spring Halo would not be able to catch up.
If he could not win this match, the best outcome was to drag his opponent down with him.
How would Spring Halo not know what Smooth As Silk was thinking? The players from Quan Zhen Sect were unmatched in such schemes.
The moment Smooth As Silk turned, a [Dark Barrier] enclosed him from all sides tightly.
Smooth As Silk reaction was extraordinarily quick. As soon as he saw the [Dark Barrier], he leaped and used [Silk Thread Technique] simultaneously. A silver thread flew out from his wrist towards the nearest mountain wall.”
“[Shadow Step]!”
Smooth As Silk tightly gripped the silver thread in his hands and managed to escape the [Dark Barrier], landing on the other side.
After escaping Spring Halo’s poisonous fog, Smooth As Silk stopped losing HP but to his horror, he only had 10% of it left.
The distance between the two was now more than ten metres. Smooth As Silk was now out of the attack range of Spring Halo. As long as there were no other unforeseen factors, Smooth As Silk could force a stalemate.
At this instance, Spring Halo waved his hands and an evil spirit appeared in close range of Smooth As Silk. The spirit directed a series of energy ripples against him.
The energy ripple from the demons was similar to a normal attack from Spring Halo. It only reduced Smooth As Silk HP bar by a few hundred points. However, Smooth As Silk was at the point where he could not take any more damage. He sped in the distance using [Haste].
“Trying to run?”
Spring Halo snorted and he aimed his staff at an evil spirit not far away from him.
“Zzz...”
An electric arc zapped the demon.
-7445
A series of damage numbers floated above the demons but quickly pierced through the demons onto Smooth As Silk.
-7411
A damage also floated above Smooth As Silk’s head.
“?”
Smooth As Silk was still muddled before dissipating into white light.
[Shadow Moonlight]! It was a skill unique to Spring Halo’s staff.
Legendary skill, Shadow Moon Radiance: Both movements and attacks will be complement with static electricity charge. Once the charge reaches 100, the next attack shall release all the static electricity which can cause magical damage to at most four targets. Explosive.
Although Spring Halo was more physically adept, a Shaman was a magic type job after all. With the basic magic damage added on to the critical static electricity damage, the overall damage was 7000+.
Smooth As Silk was only left with less than 5000 HP points out his 50000 original points. He could not withstand Spring Halo’s final attack.
