Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Boiling

Seeing the situation in the arena, countless fans of Illusion God found it hard to accept.

In their eyes, this should be a lesson by Illusion God to discipline and mentor younger players. He was supposed to knock down the pride of the promising rookies and remind the so-called newcomers of the great heights and depths of the world, instead of flaunting themselves arrogantly as superior beings.

Especially when Li Yao asserted his thirst for defeat, his arrogance reached new heights.

The majority were eagerly anticipating the moment when Illusion God would strike back, effortlessly defeat this brash individual, and, as a veteran, warn the newcomer to stay humble and strive harder in order to bring glory to the China region in future games.

In fact, most people already knew about this overly arrogant newcomer who constantly boasted about his amazing skills. They did not bear any ill will towards Li Yao. Instead, they hoped he would emerge as a new leader. After all, the name Prairie Fire had become quite well-known due to recent events.

They simply wanted Illusion God to make the newcomer realize how vast the world is.

However, besides the initial promising situation, in only a matter of moments, the tide turned drastically against their expectations.

Li Yao first substantially weakened the creatures summoned by Illusion God, employing an impressive amount of spiritual power that was capable of crushing the Illusion God, then followed it up with his unexpected archery skills.

Seeing the Charged Arrows splitting, the spectators found it too far-fetched. Now, with skeletons that fall and then stand up again, the situation was beyond their understanding and acceptance.

At this point, whether it was the spectators in the arena or those watching the live stream, all were holding their breath, expecting Illusion God to turn the tables.

However, unbeknownst to them, Li Yao had also discovered the downside of combination attacks.

When two skills were combined, he found that the release time of the skills was the sum of the two skills’ release time. He realized that with one less bow-drawing time, the total time could be reduced slightly.

But the combination of three skills not only drastically increased the release time, but also greatly reduced the damage caused.

Li Yao could now discern that at the current stage, a combination of two skills was the most reasonable and suitable; a combination of three skills seemed a bit forced.

At the moment, at least forty silver-level melee skeletons were summoned.

Initially, Illusion God only had sixty skeletons. Two consecutive Charged Arrow salvos eradicated nearly thirty, and the subsequent pinpoint shooting caused the necromancer to lose around ten skeletons.

Although Illusion God continued to summon, the number of his skeletons was now fewer than those of Li Yao’s.

More importantly, the skeletons summoned by Li Yao were silver-level, much stronger than elite ones.

For instance, the Fire Skeletons, when compared to the elite ones, had greater damage and more health. Also, when elevated to silver level, they gained an additional skill.

This stark contrast was huge. Li Yao’s silver-level skeletons immediately engaged in combat with the remaining skeletons of Illusion God.

There was a flash in Illusion God’s eyes. He swung his magic wand, casting a mass curse on nearby silver-level skeletons, followed by a Toxic Nova.

He, however, could not pay attention to the other side of the arena.

“As I said, you are no match for me.” Li Yao had already found an opportunity to shoot three arrows at Illusion God, the Stone Demon blocking each attempt.

“Not necessarily. Like me, as long as I kill you, it’ll be over.”

With the cover of the Iron Stone Demon, Illusion God finally got within casting range.

He directly released a lock-on curse, the Aging Curse.

The Aging Curse significantly reduces Li Yao’s agility, armor, and attack power.

The curse skill is one of the few skills that can lock on to a target in free mode within the ancient gods. As long as the target is in the casting range, it can hit. To resist a curse, one can only rely on resistance or the blessing of equipment.

Illusion God once again commanded the Stone Demon to block Li Yao’s arrows. The magic wand swirled again, and a dazzling green light glowed.

Toxic Nova!

The Toxic Nova, a skill that summons a powerful poison, exploding it into nearly a hundred toxic darts in all directions, is a wide-ranging skill of the necromancer.

Li Yao, seeing the green light from Illusion God’s wand, heaved his body upward and upon reaching its peak.

A glowing green light emerged beneath him. Suddenly the light exploded, scattering innumerable green arrows like shockwaves.

Li Yao, who was about to fall back down, used the Shadow Roll again. The toxic darts had already spread out, but Li Yao remained unscathed.

But just when he was about to land, he hurled the short spear in his hand.

Boom…

The Whirlwind Short Spear that Li Yao had launched collided with the Bone Spear that was shot towards him.

“This is incredible! So, Hunter can avoid the Necromancer’s Toxic Nova like this! But Illusion God seems totally unfazed by the Toxic Nova’s miss. He launched the Bone Spear the moment he saw Prairie Fire jump. If it were a common player, this skill would have almost certainly hit, as many wouldn’t be able to react in time. But Prairie Fire not only responded in time but also threw his short spear to collide with Illusion God’s Bone Spear accurately.”

A handsome young commentator couldn’t help but excitedly narrate the match from his seat. His expression was incredibly intense, appearing even more thrilled than if he were in the competition himself.

“Illusion God’s timing is just too perfect. But Prairie Fire’s response is simply inconceivable. He was able to neutralize that sure-hit attack and he seems to be as good with a short spear as he is with arrows. His ability to use the spear so accurately, turning the spearhead into a needle point, is truly astounding.”

In the blink of an eye, Li Yao realized how formidable these veteran professional players were. However, if they thought such calculations were enough to defeat him, they were sorely mistaken.

Li Yao’s passion was somewhat ignited: “Illusion God truly lives up to his reputation. I think I need to take this more seriously. The outcome will be clear soon.”

Splutter…

A large number of spectators almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Were you not taking it seriously already? It seemed so intense to everyone else, and you claim to have not been serious yet? You’ve got to be kidding.

But the fact was just as such. Even in the face of Illusion God, Li Yao had enough confidence to crush him. It was just that Illusion God was indeed stronger than many professional players, and he hid behind the powerful Iron Stone Demon to avoid being killed instantly.

In contrast to the sneers of the spectators, Illusion God’s eyes brightened.

When he entered the arena, he thought Li Yao was an overconfident braggart with limitless potential and skills.

But after their actual combat, his viewpoint changed quickly. He trusted his intuition that Li Yao was not giving his all and was holding something back.

He could sense that Li Yao’s blood was not burning. Although a little frustrated, he had to admit that Li Yao was not bluffing.

So, he became even more cautious, continuing to summon and replenish skeletons while hiding behind the Stone Demon.

“It’s time to end this.” Li Yao’s bow turned into a crescent shape…
