Global Towers: Starting With The SSS-Rank Talent, God-Tier Extraction-Chapter 1092 Final Battle
Chapter 1092 Final Battle
Liu Yan chose not to say anything further and waited quietly as the battle was about to commence.
During this time, Liu Yan used his S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, to gauge Anton Mellon's strength. Understanding one's opponent is vital for strategizing in battles.
Following his perception, Liu Yan couldn't pinpoint the exact extent of Anton Mellon's strength. However, he could deduce that Anton Mellon wasn't significantly stronger than himself.
At that moment, Liu Yan held an early-stage 21-star combat strength, and considering the information from his perception, he estimated that Anton Mellon possessed a 22-star combat strength. After knowing that Anton Mellon's combat strength was 22 stars, which was only one star stronger than him, Liu Yan was relieved.
With a similar star-level combat strength, Liu Yan could easily eliminate his opponent. If the difference was a single star, Liu Yan believed that he could win with some time and effort. Even if the disparity was three stars, he had the confidence that, with the use of his trump cards, he could secure a victory.
This unwavering self-confidence was Liu Yan's strength. While Anton Mellon was undoubtedly powerful, his single-star advantage didn't cause Liu Yan much concern.
Liu Yan entered the battle with full confidence, but he remained curious about Anton Mellon's fighting style. Up to this point, he hadn't seen Anton Mellon's weapon and wasn't acquainted with his specific combat approach.
Typically, the Elf Clan excelled in magic and archery, both of which were long-range forms of attack. In response, Liu Yan prepared to treat this fight as a long-range engagement, intending to utilize his Bow and Arrow for ranged attacks.
Soon, the countdown for the break concluded, signaling the start of the final battle. As the battle commenced, Liu Yan made the first move.
Liu Yan continued his assault using his S-grade weapon, the Flying Cloud Mystic Bow.
He unleashed his SS-grade Gold Secret Art, causing arrow feathers crafted from the potent power of the gold attribute elemental powers to materialize.
Liu Yan also activated his A-grade skill, tracking, and applied it to several of the arrow feathers.
When facing the initial Team Elf's experts, Liu Yan intentionally held back, refraining from using the tracking skill. This allowed them some room to dodge. With the incredible speed of his arrow feathers, Liu Yan could easily take them down with a single hit. If they were struck by multiple arrow feathers, they might even be killed instantly.
However, now facing the formidable Anton Mellon, there was no need for such restraint.
Using his A-grade skill, tracking, Liu Yan attached this effect to several golden arrow feathers and immediately fired them off.
Consecutive Arrows!
These arrow feathers, condensed from the elemental powers of the gold attribute, sped fiercely toward Anton Mellon.
Typically, when arrow feathers were equipped with the tracking skill, they were guaranteed to hit their target. Even if the opponent attempted to evade, the arrow feathers would adjust their course to ensure a hit. Usually, the opponent could not dodge and had to take the hit.
Nevertheless, there were exceptions where the target could evade. After all, the tracking skill was only of A-grade, and its level was not very high.
In the next moment, Anton Mellon directly disappeared from his location.
Liu Yan's arrow feathers, even though equipped with the tracking effect, lost their target, rendering them unable to change their direction.
Because the tracking effect's function depended on the target's position, it couldn't operate without a target to follow. Unfortunately, the tracking skill had no inherent perception capabilities, preventing it from locating the target's position.
As a result, the several golden arrow feathers missed their mark, and Liu Yan's first round of attacks proved entirely ineffective.
When Liu Yan witnessed this turn of events, he was left bewildered.
He didn't anticipate that Anton Mellon was neither a Mage nor an archer. He didn't belong to a long-range job but rather embodied a close-combat Assassin!
Liu Yan himself was also well-versed in the ways of the Assassin, and he immediately recognized that Anton Mellon had activated stealth. Anton was likely swiftly approaching, preparing for a close-quarters battle!
This revelation brought a wry smile to Liu Yan's face. Did Anton think that because Liu Yan excelled in long-range attacks, he'd be helpless in close combat?
Liu Yan's close combat capabilities, on the contrary, were formidable!
Close combat? Liu Yan couldn't ask for more!
Liu Yan promptly activated his S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, attempting to pinpoint Anton Mellon's location to prepare for the battle.
To his surprise, the S-grade perception skill failed to detect Anton Mellon's position.
It appeared that Anton Mellon's concealment skill was of an exceedingly high level, surpassing even the S-grade tier, thus enabling him to shield himself from Liu Yan's S-grade Omniscient Insight.
Nonetheless, Liu Yan remained unfazed. Since the S-grade Omniscient Insight proved ineffective, he turned to the SS-grade Extraordinary Five Senses.
Leveraging his extraordinary sensory abilities, Liu Yan swiftly discerned Anton Mellon's approximate location.
While he couldn't precisely lock onto Anton Mellon's position due to Anton Mellon's exceptional concealment skills, Liu Yan could now sense his general whereabouts.
At this moment, Anton Mellon maintained his stealth state and rapidly closed in, ready to strike down Liu Yan.
After perceiving this, Liu Yan stood quietly in place, patiently waiting.
He even took the initiative to stow away his S-grade weapon, the Flying Cloud Mystic Bow, and remained unarmed, standing in place as he awaited Anton Mellon's approach.
Given that the Flying Cloud Mystic Bow excelled in long-range attacks, it would be of no use in close combat and might even prove cumbersome. Thus, Liu Yan chose to put it aside.
As for evading Anton Mellon, there was no necessity for that.
Liu Yan was deliberately anticipating Anton Mellon to come to him, ready to engage in close combat to handle the situation.
The scene of Liu Yan holstering his weapon and standing bare-handed in place was indeed somewhat peculiar.
The spectators below the arena had been focused on the ongoing battle on the stage, and many of them couldn't help but notice this scene.
Members of Team Origin, upon seeing this, were filled with surprise.
Lu Dajiang asked, "What's going on? Why is Liu Yan just standing there?"
Wei Feng said, "Uh-oh, I forgot to inform Liu Yan. The Team Elf's most potent member, Anton Mellon, is a formidable Assassin."
Ning Shanshan added, "Liu Yan seemed to have primarily engaged in long-range combat in his previous battles. Long-range roles are typically countered by assassins."
Liu Qingrou said anxiety, "Why isn't the captain taking action? Why is he just waiting here?"
Huang Yuan chimed in, "I presume the captain must have his reasons."
The members of Team Origin still lacked a comprehensive understanding of Liu Yan.
Throughout the prior matches of Team Origin against Team Lighthouse and various skirmishes within the arena today, Liu Yan had largely employed long-range tactics.
This fostered the subconscious belief in Lu Dajiang and his colleagues that Liu Yan excelled at long-range combat. Consequently, they couldn't help but feel a touch of concern for Liu Yan at this moment.
Meanwhile, Allen Smith and the others, who had been alongside Liu Yan for an extended period, possessed a more profound comprehension of Liu Yan's capabilities. As a result, they held no worry in the current situation.
