Second World Chapter 1831. Two-on-two Bout

1831 Chapter 1831. Two-on-two Bout

John called a soldier over. He gave the soldier his chalk and asked the soldier to draw the arena. He wasn't going to go around and do it himself.

After the arena was drawn, Bada.s.s, Nameless, David, and Freddie entered the marked area.

"So, which one will you take?" Freddie asked David.

"I will go for the loudmouth," David said, referring to Bada.s.s.

"All right," Freddie said.

"Did they think of taking us one-on-one instead of cooperating? What kind of newbies are they?" Bada.s.s mocked.

"We will show them how to cooperate," Nameless said. "They are a ranged attacker and a healer. I can't see how they expect to win this. I will keep them busy. You just throw your offensive spells to finish them fast."

"Exactly my plan. Let's do this!" Bada.s.s exclaimed.

"No tools and no potions, okay. Is everyone ready?" Jack asked. He self-appointed himself to be the referee.

"Anytime," Bada.s.s uttered.

The others nodded.

"Very well then, begin!" Jack declared.

Once the signal was given, three players dashed forward. Only Bada.s.s stayed in his position as he started casting a spell.

Nameless, who charged forward, was surprised to see his two opponents rus.h.i.+ng forward. For someone with the gunner cla.s.s and the druid cla.s.s, he expected them to attack from range. He had used s.h.i.+eld Charge once the battle started to shorten the distance. Little did he know his opponents were also charging forward. David was now right in front of him.

David sidestepped and ran past him. This surprised him again. Did the gunner leave the healer to fend for himself?

Nameless wasn't going to let that. Even though David was a ranged attacker, he would have the advantage if he reached Bada.s.s before Bada.s.s completed his casting. Nameless canceled his s.h.i.+eld Charge and spun back. The mace in his hand shone. Following the glow was the image of a giant hammer appearing above David. This was Saint Knight's starting skill, Saint Hammer.

David saw the attack. He summoned his s.h.i.+eld Drone and used it to block the giant hammer. The giant hammer was too strong. His s.h.i.+eld drone was pushed. David used one foot to kick his s.h.i.+eld drone, giving him a boost to jump to the side but, that also stopped his charge toward Bada.s.s.

"Hey, your opponent is me!"

Nameless heard Freddie's voice from his back. Freddie's cla.s.s had lower dexterity, so he was slower than David. Nameless spun back while swinging his mace. At the same time, he wondered why this druid engaged him directly instead of summoning the treants.

His mace hit the air. When he was still wondering where Freddie was, a fist came up from below and struck his chin.

"What?" Nameless was startled by the unexpected hit. He saw Freddie then. Freddie was below him with a weird posture. Before he knew it, several more of Freddie's fists landed on his torso.

Damage numbers came up above him. He was surprised by a druid who fought in melee, but he was more surprised a non-battle monk cla.s.s caused damage without using a weapon. He had heard such rumors but he thought that was it, rumors.

He activated Paladin's divine armor and sacred flame. He also activated Saint Knight's level 60 skill, Saintly Resolve, a buff skill that enhanced his offense. He could no longer afford to underestimate the opponent.

He then used Saint Knight's level 70 skill, Celestial Hammer. Five living hammers materialized around him. These hammers a.s.sailed Freddie together with his mace.

Freddie deftly dodged the hammers with weird movements from his drunken fist style. His fists struck the hammers that came near him.

While Freddie took Nameless' attention, David resumed his advance toward Bada.s.s. The interruption from Nameless had delayed him enough that Bada.s.s completed his spell. A large ominous gate appeared, blocking him from reaching Bada.s.s.

"h.e.l.l Gate?" David thought, but the gate in front of him was larger than the usual Warlock's h.e.l.l gate.

This was because the gate was conjured using h.e.l.l Walker's starting spell, Greater h.e.l.l Gate. Like h.e.l.l Gate, it discharged a torrent of flames as it opened. From inside the gate, two h.e.l.lhounds, two winged imps, and one wingless demon came out.

Greater h.e.l.l Gate summoned random monsters of the underworld, but they were mostly low-level and low-grade monsters.

David moved to the side as he dodged the flames from the greater h.e.l.l gate. While he did so, Bada.s.s completed another spell, h.e.l.l Ring. This spell created a ring of fire around him. The fire dealt fire and chaos damage to all enemies who approached. With the ring of fire, he was protected to cast his next spell.

David used Bulletstorm, hitting the h.e.l.l monsters that came at him as well as Bada.s.s. The fire from the h.e.l.l ring didn't block the bullets but they reduced the damage. As an experienced player, Bada.s.s' concentration was solid enough for a few hits to not bother him.

He continued casting. He was casting a big spell. h.e.l.l Walker's level 80 spell, h.e.l.l's Fire. This spell was divided into two phases. The first phase had the spell hit a large area and dealt ma.s.sive fire damage. The second phase began after, where fire snakes sprout from the damaged area. These fire snakes attack all hostiles for a duration.

The casting took some time, but He didn't worry. He was protected by the h.e.l.l monsters and the h.e.l.l ring. As he was casting, he was amazed when he saw David fight his h.e.l.l monsters at close range. The h.e.l.l monsters could barely hit David while they received multiple stabs and gunshots from the gunner. This was the first time he saw a gunner fight in a melee like that.

While he was fascinated by the battle, he heard a growl from his side. He turned just in time to see a barghest lunged at him.

The barghest was David's pet. He summoned it when he was blocked by the greater h.e.l.l gate. The barghest went into invisible mode once it was summoned, hence Bada.s.s wasn't aware of it. It only became visible when it barged through the ring of fire around Bada.s.s. It received damage but was not too severe due to its flame s.h.i.+eld.

Bullet hits might not disturb Bada.s.s' concentration, but being pounced on by a savage monster was another matter. His spell formation broke after getting mauled by the Barghest several times.
