Chapter 181: The Final Battle
Chapter 181: The Final Battle
In the arena, a lone pig stands, its back unmarred by any wounds.
Suddenly, a gash appears on the pig's back, seemingly out of thin air.
The scene is chilling, and the audience is gripped with fear as the Shadow Assassin reveals its terrifying ability.
The assassin's silent and stealthy approach is chilling, and its attack could have severely injured another summoner beast, but unfortunately for the assassin, its opponent is the pig.
The gash barely scratches the surface of the pig's Earth Spirit Armor, and the wound quickly heals, leaving no trace of injury.
However, this is just the beginning for the assassin. Another wound appears, this time on the pig's rear, not a cut, but a stab with a dagger.
The assassin aims for a sensitive spot, but fortunately for the pig, its tail and the thicker Earth Spirit Armor in that area provide added protection.
The second attack fails, and the assassin quickly changes tactics.
Despite its invisibility, the assassin is no match for the Gale Wolf in terms of speed. As it strikes, the pig knows exactly what it's up to.
The pig closes its eyes, covers its nose, and lies down, letting the assassin do its worst.
This lazy tactic suits the pig perfectly. As long as it stays put, the assassin can't do much.
The pig's resilience is truly demoralizing.
The audience watches this unusual scene unfold. In an arena meant for intense battles, a pig lies down and appears to sleep.
Wounds appear on its body from time to time, but none penetrate the Earth Spirit Armor, let alone harm the pig within.
The audience can't help but smirk at this familiar sight.
It seems this round will end in a draw again. The Shadow Assassin can't break through the pig's defense, and the pig can't find the assassin. It's likely this match will end in a stalemate, just like the previous ones.
In the end, Team 042's two summoned beasts take on Team 044's captain in a tag-team battle.
However, just as the audience is predicting the outcome, the pig on the arena suddenly lets out a painful wail and jumps up.
It turns angrily, lifting its hoof and stomping with all its might.
But nothing happens. The pig lets out another cry.
It's not going crazy; it feels like something is stabbing its rear, and it's incredibly painful, even though it's not injured.
The pain is unbearable, and it starts running, as if trying to escape something.
Li Wu, the summoner below, is bewildered.
Before Li Wu can react, the running pig suddenly stops and jumps off the arena.
"What's happening?"
Li Wu is even more confused, and the audience is stunned. No one expected the pig to jump off the arena.
After jumping off, the pig seems dazed for a moment before realizing what's happening. It turns angrily towards the arena, where the Shadow Assassin has reappeared, exuding a cool and intimidating aura.
Li Wu calls the pig back.
After checking the pig's condition and asking a few questions, Li Wu understands the situation.
The pig was lying down peacefully when it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its rear, as if something was stabbing it. The pain was so intense that it started running, and as it approached the edge of the arena, it felt an uncontrollable urge to jump out.
With this information, Li Wu recalls the Shadow Assassin's abilities and quickly understands the situation.
"The dagger! It's the Shadow Assassin's dagger!"
Li Wu finally understands the meaning of the words on the dagger's handle—it can directly attack shadows.
This ability is terrifying, as it can bypass defenses, but in reality, it's not that bad. As long as the pig can endure the pain, the damage is minimal. However, this pig is rather delicate.
(End)
The shadow assassin's all-around defense was a clear sign of its fear of pain.
After being stabbed, it couldn't maintain its composure and uncontrollably jumped off the arena, likely due to its Shadow Possession talent.
It had manipulated the pig's shadow, and by extension, the pig itself, to defeat Piggie.
"It seems that even if you see someone's attributes, it doesn't necessarily mean you can fully understand their situation!"
This was an unavoidable situation; Lu Wu's Golden Finger was not an identification skill, and any attributes he was unaware of would not be displayed on the interface.
"But it's fine. After that move, the opponent must have also suffered significant exhaustion. Old Lin, it's your turn now!
You guys should have the advantage against this opponent. Just be careful not to get too close to the edge of the arena and avoid stopping!"
The Goblin had specifically trained to counter the Lesser Devil's Vision Deprivation. Even if it couldn't see its opponent, it wouldn't be as passive as Piggie, taking hits without retaliating.
Soon, the Goblin was on the arena, sword in hand.
The new round officially began.
As the referee blew the whistle, the Shadow Assassin once again became invisible.
The Goblin, however, immediately closed its eyes and headed towards the center of the arena.
In the 16th round, the Goblin took a step forward, and its longsword suddenly swept backward, creating a crisp sound of clashing blades. The hidden assassin was revealed by this move.
Seizing the opportunity, the Goblin closed in and kicked the Shadow Assassin, sending it flying.
Right from the start, the Goblin took the upper hand in the first round.
However, the opponent was not to be underestimated.
After being kicked away, the Shadow Assassin disappeared again before even landing.
Seeing this, the Goblin halted its pursuit and continued moving towards the center of the arena.
At this position, there was a pillar of light shining downward, and standing here would leave only the first point of the shadow visible.
In other words, as long as the Goblin stood in this position, the risk of being controlled by Shadow Possession was minimized.
Therefore, if the Shadow Assassin wanted to defeat the Goblin, it had to use Shadow Possession before the Goblin reached the pillar of light.
This was the tactic Lu Wu devised for the Goblin.
After all, although the Goblin had the ability to pinpoint the opponent's location by sound, this ability was too passive and could only be used for defense, not for initiating attacks.
To defeat this Shadow Assassin, it had to be forced to make a move.
Only by forcing it to act could the Goblin have a chance to take it down.
However, the subsequent developments did not unfold as Lu Wu had anticipated. The Shadow Assassin did not attempt to block the Goblin's path, instead allowing it to move towards the pillar of light.
Seeing this, Lu Wu more or less understood the opponent's tactic.
The opponent was not planning to take the risk of sniping; instead, they were preparing to directly engage and swap with the Goblin.
"It seems that the Shadow Assassin's invisibility and its previous control over Piggie have indeed taken a toll. As a result, Team 042 can only adopt this tactic, which is the most advantageous for them."
This tactic was somewhat unscrupulous, but Lu Wu had no choice; he couldn't find the opponent.
In the end, they had to let the Shadow Assassin swap out their two summoned beasts.
Watching the Goblin enter the arena and get swapped out by the opponent within five minutes, Lu Wu couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Who's the real breeder here?
This guy's mind is so filthy!"
After venting, Lu Wu felt something was amiss.
"Hey, who said breeders have dirty minds? I'm an honest and upright person who never schemes!
Right, Dudu?"
He turned to Dudu, who was standing behind the door, and nodded vigorously, indicating that Lu Wu was indeed an honest and upright breeder.
Meanwhile, the final match between Team 042 and Team 044 had already begun.
The little skeleton skillfully climbed onto the arena, while on the other side, the summoned beast of Team 044's captain, Wang Jun, also entered the arena.
This was its first appearance in the high school league...
...
I feel like someone's talking about me.
