Chapter 469: Mirage Duel (Part 12): The Prey and the Hunter (Catch-up)
Chapter 469: Mirage Duel (Part 12): The Prey and the Hunter (Catch-up)
However, just as they were 50 meters away from Caramelsweet, he burst into laughter, "Ha! You fell for it again!"
Caramelsweet tore off his mage robe, revealing the clothes underneath.
To their shock, he was wearing an assassin's cloak!
He put away his wand and pulled out a dagger, waving it at Alex, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm actually an assassin, not a mage. Catch you later!"
With that, he activated the Stealth skill, vanishing into thin air.
Alex's face turned grim.
She had thought Caramelsweet was a mage, but he was actually an assassin in disguise!
Now that he was in stealth, how were they supposed to find him?
Her companion,!!, also paled, "We're in trouble. The 'Revealing Dust' we have isn't enough to cover the area. Now that Caramelsweet is in stealth, it'll be nearly impossible to find him."
"What do we do?" Alex asked urgently.
"I-I don't know,"!! looked equally distressed.
Behind them, Qiyue Wuyi was smirking.
Caramelsweet's stealth gave him a significant advantage.
His cavalry was wreaking havoc among the enemy's vulnerable mage, healer, and archer units. His elite 24 Flame Skeleton Archers remained unscathed, and victory was only a matter of time.
However, Qiyue Wuyi glanced worriedly at the forest behind him.
The only unknown factor left was Commander Ke. If he were to launch an attack now...
As if on cue, a rustling sound came from the forest.
Suddenly, 300 well-organized cavalry units charged out, appearing right behind the Flame Skeleton Archers!
"Damn!" Qiyue Wuyi's heart sank.
These 300 cavalry units were undoubtedly Commander Ke's, and their sudden appearance posed a significant threat to his fragile mage, healer, and archer units.
Now, he had only two options:
The first was to turn around and engage in battle, make peace with Alex, and join forces against Commander Ke.
The second was to focus their attacks on Alex and!! before Commander Ke could cause more damage.
There was no time for hesitation.
After a brief two-second consideration, Qiyue Wuyi chose the second option.
"All ranged units, focus fire on Alex!" he ordered.
His archers and the 24 Flame Skeleton Archers immediately targeted Alex, activating their burst skills.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A barrage of arrows and spells flew toward Alex.
As for Alex, her mage and healer units had already been decimated by Qiyue Wuyi, leaving her without any shields.
In the concentrated attack, her protective aura was instantly shattered, and she vanished in a burst of white light.
Seeing their attack succeed, Qiyue Wuyi and Caramelsweet were invigorated.
If one concentrated attack could take out Alex, wouldn't another take out!! and secure their victory?
With that thought, they quickly directed their forces to focus fire on!!.
But just as their archers were about to launch the second round of attacks, something unexpected happened.
A massive, 30-meter-tall, fiery red magic array suddenly appeared in the forest to the north.
Then, a blazing red phoenix emerged from the magic array.
Scream!
The Fire Phoenix, as massive as a small mountain, materialized in a burst of light at Qi Yue Wuyi's feet.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion rocked the ground. A massive crater formed where Qi Yue Wuyi stood, and he, along with all the troops within a hundred-meter radius, vanished in an instant.
Two seconds later, the concentrated fire from the ranged units hit its mark, and the target was annihilated without a doubt. The battlefield was now left with only Su Yu and Jiaxin Tang, one the lord and the other the traitor.
Jiaxin Tang's stealth duration was about to end, and his figure appeared behind the main force. He stared at the crater where Qi Yue Wuyi had been, his face pale.
If they had focused their ranged units on the target three seconds earlier, he and Qi Yue Wuyi would have won. However, Qi Yue Wuyi died two seconds before the target, and according to the game rules, he now had to face off against General Ke for the final victory.
Could he really defeat General Ke?
Jiaxin Tang looked across the battlefield and saw that their mage archer and cleric units, along with the 24 Flame Skeleton Archers, had been completely wiped out by General Ke's cavalry. Even more terrifying, Su Yu was accompanied by three fourth-tier Fire Archmages!
Seeing these three Fire Archmages, Jiaxin Tang's resolve to fight shattered into pieces.
"Ah! I can't beat General Ke!" he sighed inwardly.
In fact, not only Jiaxin Tang and the two rebel armies had visited the Flame Camp. After Morning Star scouted and confirmed that Alex's army had left, Su Yu had also passed through the area. At the time, he had 5,015 gold in his backpack, so he sold all 16 of his Tundra War Wolf Riders to raise the funds needed to purchase three Fire Archmages.
The 30-meter-wide Phoenix's Arrival that Su Yu had just unleashed was made possible with the assistance of these three fourth-tier Fire Archmages, and the results were spectacular.
With Qi Yue Wuyi eliminated, the final victor was clear.
Watching Su Yu slowly approach, Jiaxin Tang gave a bitter smile. "Congratulations, General Ke. You've made it to the end."
"You did well too, maintaining the overall rhythm of the battle," Su Yu responded humbly. "Keep it up. I hope to see you in the finals."
"Alright, see you in the finals." Jiaxin Tang chose to surrender and exit the campaign, marking the end of the battle with Su Yu's victory.
As Jiaxin Tang disappeared, Su Yu sighed inwardly.
Actually, he hadn't enjoyed the battle as much as he had hoped.
If he could, he would have liked to try taking on four opponents and see if he could win.
Unfortunately, that opportunity was gone.
Just then, the system notification arrived: "Ding! Congratulations on winning the first place in this Illusion Duel! You have received two Jerryfus' Gifts (Golden Epic)."
Seeing the rewards, Su Yu's spirits lifted.
The rewards from the third round were clearly much better than those from the second round.
Not only had the quality of the gifts improved to the Epic level, but he had received two of them! He would have to choose carefully.
A golden lamp appeared before him, and the genie Jerryfus emerged from it.
Seeing Su Yu, he immediately said in English, "How old are you? (Why is it always you?)"
"Enough, so what if it's always me?" Su Yu urged. "Just give me the options. I need to prepare for the next round after I make my choice."
The genie: "???" Su Yu hadn't answered his question.
However, Jerryfus didn't press the issue. The options for Equipment, Potions, Materials, and Other Items appeared in a row in front of Su Yu.
