Chapter 42: Caged Devil (V)
"As expected of you, Crow."
Anson Lu looked at Urushihara Ritsu and murmured in a daze.
It was not until this moment that he felt that the man in front of him was worthy of the title of 'the world's number one gambler'.
Ritsu Urushihara first accurately rolled a 6 with the dice, used the skill effect to copy another dice, and then used the two dice in his hand to roll two 3s in a row, thus obtaining two stopwatches that could rebound damage.
Furthermore, the entire process from the ghost general disappearing to his reappearance and the chopping of the sword took no more than 0.8 seconds.
Before Anson Lu could even shout, the knife had already fallen towards Urushihara Ritsu's forehead.
However, Urushihara Ritsu reacted.
Perhaps, this is related to the fact that the main attribute of "Crow Gambler" is [Agility]. His reaction nerves are much stronger than those of other professions.
"Well, there was one more time..."
Urushihara Ritsu still had his eyes closed, relying solely on hearing to determine the location of the Ghost General.
At this moment, the huge figure of the Ghost General disappeared again.
[Three consecutive cuts] are still continuing, followed by the Ghost General's second sword.
There is no doubt that the target of attack is still Urushihara Ritsu who is closest to it.
The trouble is, every time the Ghost General performs the 'Triple Slash', he will attack from different directions, there is no fixed pattern at all, so it is impossible to predict in advance.
Moreover, its speed is astonishingly fast, which is totally inconsistent with its bulky body.
However, Ritsu Urushihara had the courage to stand up.
His job was to block the first two attacks of the Ghost General as much as he could, and the remaining attack would be left to Anson Lu.
At this time, Anson Lu had gradually moved forward, ready to take over Urushihara Ritsu's position.
The second knife is coming...
Everyone present was secretly worried for Urushihara Ritsu.
In an instant, the figure of the Ghost General suddenly appeared in the sky, and a shadow covering the sky fell from the sky, like a pitch-black net covering the figure of Urushihara Ritsu.
“Huff!”
None of the players present would have expected that this time, the Boss would not appear from the front or from the back, but would launch a surprise attack from directly above!
"hiss!"
The trembling murderous intent was like the roar of a pine wind. The ghost general descended from the sky, holding the sword tightly in both hands, and slashed straight towards Urushihara Ritsu's head with an unstoppable force!
"Crow, it's up there!" Anson Deer yelled.
"I know..." Urushihara Ritsu suddenly pressed the stopwatch button at the last 0.1 second of the death time limit, and his dark eyes opened, "Haha, this is really dangerous."
At the same time, a crow flew out from the tip of his slender index finger.
"bite!"
As the button of the stopwatch sunk, the huge body of the ghost general fell towards Urushihara Ritsu like a mountain.
"boom!!!"
The whole palace was shaking violently as the sword struck down. Many players were frightened and fell to the ground, not daring to move.
But Urushihara Ritsu still stood firm, and the gray-black barrier created by the stopwatch blocked the damage he suffered in that second.
At the same time, the crow that flew out from his fingertips just flew out of the range of the Ghost General's pressure!
As the crow disappeared, Urushihara Ritsu's figure appeared in the distance. He landed smoothly with his feet on the floor.
"It was dangerous..." Urushihara Ritsu raised his lips and looked at the ghost general who had just landed not far away, "If it was a second later, he would have been crushed."
Even if he used the stopwatch to rebound the damage for that one second, if he stayed in the same place afterwards, he would still be crushed immediately by the Ghost General, and his body would be crushed without leaving any residue.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough. After using the stopwatch to block the next round of damage, he immediately generated a crow and flew away. He then used the teleportation ability brought by sacrificing the crow to bring himself to a safe place.
Urushihara Ritsu looked at the upper right corner of his vision and saw that the blue bar was completely depleted.
"Lu Jun, the rest is up to you," he said.
At this point, Urushihara Ritsu's mana was completely depleted, which meant that he had completely lost his ability to fight and could only watch from the sidelines.
"Bang..."
A long and loud noise echoed in the palace, and the ghost general's huge body fell to the ground.
At this moment, a dark blue groove appeared on its back - this was the damage that Urushihara Ritsu inflicted on it by rebounding the stopwatch.
After two consecutive strikes, it failed to kill anyone and even suffered serious injuries itself. This was undoubtedly a great shame for it.
The ghost general roared in anger, and the pieces of armor covering his body fell to the ground with a clatter, leaving the ground full of holes...
【Wonderful Hit!!!】
[Ghost General's HP: 43% → 31%]
[Current damage ratio panel]
[NO.1——Urushihara Ritsu (Crow Gambler): Damage accounts for 22%]
[NO.2——Anson Deer (former chess player): Damage accounts for 19.2%]
【NO.3】
At this time, the Ghost General's "three consecutive kills" only had one kill left.
Its body had lost the protection of its armor, and its hideous dark blue flesh was exposed. Hot purple blood was flowing all over its body, and the intense temperature was about to evaporate the air.
The Ghost General's eyes burned with cold blue flames as he slowly moved towards the Anson Deer that was closest to him.
"You did a great job, Crow."
Anson Lu looked at Urushihara Ritsu who was standing not far away and breathed a sigh of relief. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and replied to Urushihara Ritsu in the voice channel.
"Leave the rest to me."
In an instant, the Ghost General disappeared again.
Just as Anson Deer's brown eyes caught the moment when the opponent's figure disappeared, he activated the sequence skill without hesitation - [Protect the King] (recalling a chess piece, the chess piece will take the damage and control for the old chess player within 2 seconds).
What he chose to recall was the stone statue of the soldier.
“Bang!”
At this time, the Ghost General had appeared on the side of Anson Deer, swung his sword and attacked.
"Soldier statue, use your skills, raise your shield and fight back!"
This is a skill that the Soldier Stone Statue learns after it is upgraded to level 2. The effect of the skill is that in the next two seconds, all damage it sustains is reduced to 10% of the original, but it cannot take any action while raising the shield.
In Anson Lu's eyes, this was undoubtedly a skill created to match [King Protection].
The stone statue of the soldier raised its shield high, using its mortal body to resist the god. The huge sword fell and slashed on its insignificant shield, and countless cracks appeared in an instant.
“Bang!”
The two forces collided violently.
The body of the stone statue of the soldier kept breaking into pieces, but it still held its proud head high, standing firm in front of the young man.
"hiss--"
Until the Ghost General's last blow was completely stopped, the stone statue of the soldier was still standing, but its body was covered with cracks. This body was like a candle in the wind and could turn into sand at any time.
[Soldier Statue's HP: 100% → 1.2%]
"It reduced 90% of the damage, but it was almost gone..." Anson Lu said in surprise, "It's beyond my imagination."
If the pawn statue is destroyed, the chess set bond [Blue Rainbow] will disappear, and the king statue will lose the opportunity to use 'Blue Rainbow King Flash'.
Fortunately, it still has a miraculous 1.2% of its health left.
At this time, all the players in the venue became restless.
They all knew from the video in advance that after the Ghost General released the "three consecutive kills", he would enter a period of stiffness lasting 4 seconds.
The boss only has 30% of his health left.
But it is obviously very difficult to inflict fatal damage within these 4 seconds, but if this cannot be done, casualties are almost an inevitable outcome.
According to the pattern of attack, the Ghost General will then use his original move again - drawing the sword and slashing.
In order to create a suspended ice surface large enough to carry more than ten people, Yuri's mana was almost exhausted. She could not continue to create an ice surface of the same size to protect the priest team and the mage team.
The sword-drawing slash covered half the field, and it was inevitable that someone would die from this move.
The outcome seemed to have been decided, and everyone knew a cruel fact in their hearts - some people had to sacrifice themselves in exchange for victory in this battle.
With a desperate mentality, they launched another round of attacks on the ghost general...
Powerless fireballs and arrows streaked across the sky; the warriors swung their machetes hysterically; Yuri also contributed a little bit of his strength, using his remaining mana to form one or two ice cones, which he blasted at the Ghost General.
Urushihara Ritsu was completely helpless, his mana was exhausted and he could only watch others act.
[Ghost General's HP: 31% → 16%]
With only 2 seconds left, everyone present looked at the desperately long health bar - the Ghost General only had 16% health left.
Then, it is inevitable that some players will be sacrificed next...
But only Urushihara Ritsu knew that Anson Lu had a hidden card.
This 17-year-old high school student from China will completely put an end to this boss battle in these last two seconds.
"Sacrificial soldier statues, bishop statues, artillery cart statues..."
Anson Deer stepped back and said quickly:
"King Statue, use skill - Blue Rainbow King Flash!"
