Chapter 162: Players vs. Echizen Ryuga!
Echizen Ryuga used the player's ultimate move in front of the player ['Your butterfly flash hits the wall 365 degrees Thomas without a spin, 100% catch the blade with bare hands, the scheming frog touches your belly' ball],
I have to say that it is still a very novel experience for players.
The player patiently looked at the status bar.
The huge ['Devouring & Depriving'] debuff still exists and is still taking effect, but the effect it exerts is still very insignificant.
As for when it will be finished, it’s hard to say, really hard to say.
Because the players saw with their own eyes that the passive skills of this special dungeon BOSS were not always effective.
This cut and paste doesn't work either.
No one said that this cutting and pasting started from one billionth of a billionth,
Put it on the corresponding human body...this, this starts from the cells?
Use the player's special skills in front of the player,
Although the players did not feel too deeply, the U17 players off the court were slightly shocked and even had a little expectation.
It's a little different from the expected scene, and it really seems like I'm trying to teach an expert how to do something.
The mysterious hooded man No. 4 revealed his true appearance. As soon as he successfully served the ball, his momentum, aura, and the attack, rotation, and friction of the ball itself were very close to the level of "Kei Yagi" that everyone imagined and knew.
Even in Echizen Ryuga's self-perception, this cut-and-paste shot, which was ['swallowed & deprived'], was very consistent with the strength displayed by the black-haired figure on the other side of the net.
But Yagi Kei's calm and smooth attack - just a counterattack, completely shattered everyone's imagination.
It even subtly broke everyone's perception of his true strength, and once again raised his strength to a new level!
Everyone on and off the court had their own thoughts. As the person who was watching the game closest to them and could see the performances of both sides at the same time, Byodoin Phoenix,
My heart was unexpectedly calm.
From the shock and panic he showed when he saw Echizen Ryuga use that move on Yagi Kei, to this truly complete and utter calmness,
He was not heartbroken, but he finally felt a vague sense of something in the battle with Yagi Kei.
The feeling of terror and fear that he instinctively sensed when he lost consciousness exceeded the threshold that the human brain could bear, and was thus hidden in the deepest layer of emotion by the protection mechanism.
Endless black, empty and huge,
It was not just the feeling brought by the person standing in front of him, but more importantly, it was the embodiment of the strength of the person standing in front of him, a pressure entity with a thick texture that was heavy enough to crush a person.
'Yagi Kei',
Unfathomable, unclear,
Looking at him was like looking into an abyss.
'abyss'.
…
Echizen Ryuga watched his cut shot being hit back, which was somewhat different from his cognition and imagination.
I've fought against countless opponents, and even though their reactions and states were different, there has never been a reaction like Yagi Kei's.
He even doubted whether his ability really worked on Yagi Kei.
After all, if this prerequisite is met, Yagi Kei must have been influenced by him.
For now, I won't talk about whether or not this move can be used again, but the move will definitely be affected. The power will decrease as the counterattack and pulling time increase, until it can no longer be used.
—Until it can no longer be used.
No, the power, angle, spin, and speed of this return, how could there be any tendency to be unusable at all!?!
Echizen Ryuga could no longer maintain his cool and unrestrained appearance. He gritted his teeth, gripped his racket with both hands, and strode forward to meet the attack.
The returned "butterfly ball" is no easier to deal with than the "butterfly ball" from the serve.
However, the Orange Youth found joy in the midst of hardship, and his passive skill ['Deprivation & Devouring'] did not stop at all.
He is still pulling and fighting back, trying to gain more time and greater possibilities and chances for himself.
A similar situation existed in previous battles. Depriving the opponent of their skills was not achieved overnight, but gradually accumulated through repeated battles and tug-of-war until the key point of the explosion was reached.
Completed suddenly (disappeared)!
Although he had a bad feeling in his heart, Echizen Ryuga suppressed it and did not show any sign of dejection.
Come on, let him see.
Where exactly does this guy's strength lie?
'Buzz buzz buzz buzz! ! ! !'
The high-speed friction ball made an almost terrifying noise as soon as it came into contact with the racket, which was deafening.
From the way Yagi Kei responded to the ball, it was clear that such a ball could only be returned quickly and without delay.
——But easier said than done!
It's easier said than done. Echizen Ryuya held the racket with both hands and swung it hard towards the ball, but the incomparable weight transmitted from the ball pressed his entire arms and palms so hard that he couldn't move at all.
The replaced racket was fully extended, and even under this kind of impact beyond the threshold, it still struggled to resist.
Echizen Ryuya took a deep breath and mobilized all his strength. This time he stretched out his body completely and no longer held back.
"Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing—!"
The high-speed rotating critical hit ball struggled for one, two, and three seconds before it was hit back with a "bang"!
Everyone's eyes followed the trail of the yellow ball as it rushed towards the other side of the net like lightning.
Echizen Ryuga's "Deprivation & Devouring" record climbed another decimal point after this successful return shot.
The players have been waiting at the landing point for a long time.
Facing a ball that was coming with such force, carrying wind pressure, air currents, and sparks, and spinning at high speed like a tornado,
Raise your hand, A!
——Where do all the fancy stuff come from? Go away!!
Before Ryouga Echizen could catch his breath, the next goal came!
Ryuya Echizen: "..."
“Empty, empty, empty, empty—!”
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM—BOOM!"
“Buzz buzz buzz buzz——!”
“Sizzle, sizzle, bang!!”
The sound of the ball rubbing against the racket and the loud bang when it hits back are endless.
Echizen Ryuga ran left and right, constantly being moved around, without stopping.
Looking back at the black-haired figure opposite... he wasn't moving at all!
After a brief period of self-settlement, Echizen Ryoma gradually became uncertain again.
The pulling and the fighting continue.
However, the strength of Kei Yagi on the opposite side continues to grow!
One ball is almost about to double in strength. The previous return ball pulling up to eight times was shocking enough, but now, it is far more than eight times!
The straight line is approaching ten times!
Even with ten times the return, it was still not his limit.
Still rising, even higher!
In comparison, his cutting and copying speed cannot keep up with the speed at which his strength increases!
Echizen Ryuga paused, then froze.
My brain suddenly flashed with inspiration, and a bunch of ideas suddenly rushed into my head.
——He finally understood the source of this subtle feeling and bad premonition.
While he was using ['Deprivation & Devouring'] to cut off Yagi Kei's abilities,
Yagi Kei is also constantly improving his abilities, showing a level far beyond his current level.
As for the fighting method, he is currently unable to successfully cut and paste in one go.
Therefore, Kei Yagi on the other side of the net is always one step ahead of him.
In a trance, Echizen Ryuga even had an illusion,
Standing on the court at this moment, it is not him and Yagi Kei,
It's the past 'Yagi Kei' VS the future Yagi Kei!
“——!!”
“—Buzz buzz buzz buzz—Boom boom boom!!!”
The sphere shook, rushed to the ground, and ran for a few steps but was finally defeated by the speed that had been increased to sixteen times.
Echizen Ryoma's face was solemn at the moment, without any trace of the ease he had before.
He stared deeply at the court that had shattered and collapsed again, and at the explosion area of the tennis ball that had exploded the moment it hit the ground, shattering the surrounding rocks and the court surface, and then disappeared without a trace.
The racket in my hand was surprisingly heavy, so heavy that it almost became an oppression. It felt like a mountain being carried on my shoulders, making it hard to breathe.
It was at this moment that the Phoenix of Byodoin blew the whistle for this round.
“2-0!”
In Echizen Ryuga's serve game, he couldn't return a single ball.
The skill from ['Deprivation & Devouring'] can exert 100% of its power in his hands.
But——on the other side of the net, Yagi Kei,
But he can exert 200%, 300%, 400% of the power of this ball - even endless power!
He looked deeply at Yagi Kei who was separated from him by a net.
But his sight did not meet those dark, empty eyes immediately.
Out of the corner of his eye, he first caught sight of the figure sitting on the referee's chair.
Those are the eyes of the Byodoin Phoenix.
Calmly watching, witnessing, observing, and, after commenting, as if looking at a foregone conclusion... Unfortunately,
pity?
Are you kidding me?
It’s never him who’s the one who feels pity—it’s only his opponent.
Echizen Ryuya spun his racket vigorously, shaking off the sweat on his head and cheeks.
——He didn't intend to finish writing this book.
This is not his end yet!
Echizen Ryuya once again held the racket and stepped back onto the court, taking a deep breath and calming himself down.
The black-haired figure on the opposite side was more difficult than any other opponent he had encountered so far.
Continuously rising strength, continuous self-upgrade, and continuous new cognition,
This is more than just funny, this guy...
Players have no idea what the special dungeon BOSS is thinking.
Of course, even if I knew, I wouldn't care much.
The only thing on the players' minds at this moment is the fun of fighting, and how to have fun fighting without killing the special dungeon BOSS with one ball or one skill.
Since the special dungeon boss uses ['Deprive & Devour'] on the player's first skill,
Then it doesn't make sense not to compensate one more person.
[Click·Skill 'Thomas's 365-degree spin, 100% chance of catching a blade with bare hands, the scheming frog touches your belly again, and the invincible Big Bang attack' is being used...]
[——Ding!]
【Congratulations! Success! 】
The moment the system pop-up window flashes,
All the presence on and off the court can be accurately sensed,
It has changed, something has definitely changed.
Depressed, heavy, breathless,
as well as--
The overwhelming weight that came pouring down.
"W-What is that…"
The U17 teammates off the court were bewildered. It was also the first time they felt such a strange aura from Yagi Kei.
I've never had any contact with it before.
What on earth is this terrifying aura...
The junior high school students were in a better state, especially the Rikkai members who spent every day with Jibaimao.
With their arms folded, they looked towards the court. The Big Three, led by Yukimura Seiichi, did not speak.
The one who spoke was Kirihara Akaya. Although his mumbling was low, it was quiet at the moment, almost silent except for the occasional breathing.
Then his words came out clearly,
"...It's 'Thomas's 365-degree spin, 100% bare-handed attack, the scheming frog touches your belly again, and the invincible Big Bang attack'..."
“…”
"Would you like to...say it again?"
"I have to say, this is really that person's naming style..."
Although there were some jokes, Kirihara Akari did not immediately follow up, and did not even have a heated discussion with everyone as usual.
At this moment, a pair of eyes were completely fixed on the field.
Whether it was him, or other people from Rikkai University, or Tezuka, Shiraishi and others who had fought against Jibaimao head-on and had truly witnessed the predecessor of this ball,
The expressions on their faces were serious to an almost unbelievable degree.
This ball...is it really the same ball?
The world is turning upside down and the world is spinning.
Change was born from his hands.
The black-haired figure stood quietly in the field, holding a small yellow ball in his hand, exerting a little force so that everyone could see his subtle movements.
The ball creaked as it was gripped, a sound resembling a miserable creaking noise. It was no match for the momentary high-pitched humming of "Your butterfly flash, slamming into the wall at 365 degrees, Thomas, without a single spin, 100% catching the blade with your bare hands, the scheming frog touching your stomach."
But the harshness is definitely not weak,
It made people's hearts anxious and restless, their breath tense and unable to rise or fall, just waiting for his next move -
Grip, catch, throw, bend knees, jump, hit——
A set of movements, flowing like water,
But the ball that attracted attention throughout the whole process kept getting heavier and heavier in the field of vision.
Its own density expanded at an almost terrifying speed, expanding to an incomparable size in just a breath - in a trance, what was thrown into the air was no longer a small yellow ball,
Instead, it was a black hole that was so heavy that it kept changing, twisting, and condensing into a dark point.
“…Black, black hole?”
I almost began to doubt my eyes, but even if I rubbed my eyes and closed them again,
The scene before my eyes remained unchanged.
It descended from the sky into a dark spot, and the moment it touched Yagi Kei's racket,
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—”
It's not just a humming sound anymore. The high-speed friction is forced to the fastest speed, and the excessive friction sound tends to a stable level.
Although low frequency, but more terrifying,
Concentrate a little, pause half a frame,
In full view of everyone, it was launched directly towards Echizen Ryuga!
From the beginning to the end, the black rays stretched and converged, hitting one point directly.
The U17 members who stayed behind after being beaten by the team were all very familiar with this scene.
Isn't this an upgraded version of the Infrared Penalty Ball?!
——God knows, if this ball touches any corner, the outcome will definitely be disastrous!
The U17 players who stayed behind did not experience the torture of being beaten by a chicken.
But now I'm going through a lot of torture,
Echizen Ryuga had already been on high alert in his heart when this ball showed its sign.
The sphere brought such a great shock and deterrence before it was launched. The moment it was launched, a ray of light came straight towards him.
His body instinctively urged him to hold the tennis racket with both hands and hit back, but his brain issued a warning at the same time.
'Danger! Danger! Danger! !'
Echizen Ryuya rarely had such vigilance and tension during a battle, he hesitated for only half a second between advancing and retreating.
But it was precisely in this half second that the black ray arrived silently.
It was like it was on autopilot, not even avoiding the racket in his hand, it was completely straight, without the slightest deflection.
The goal is clear, just run towards the racket, and the moment you reach it, you will touch the racket, the strings, and the ground.
Wait, the ground?
Echizen Ryuya felt his hands suddenly empty, his brain hesitated for a moment, and he lowered his head.
The next frame that came into view was a racket that had been burned through with a hole at some point.
The trajectory of a ball continues to penetrate deeper into the earth's crust.
“…”
He slowly picked up the racket and stared at the hole on it for a while, then slowly turned his head and looked at the dark hole on the ground beside his feet.
After a while, he regained his composure and looked up again, looking at the person who finished serving the ball.
The racket hits the holes in the net, the black holes in the ground,
Like two black eyes,
Like the gaze that he couldn't get rid of.
As soon as the ball was shot, everyone stopped making any sound, even the meaningless sighs disappeared.
It felt like my throat was being strangled and I couldn't even breathe.
“15:0!”
The dry and hoarse voice of the Phoenix in Byodoin Temple was heard. Beneath the seemingly calm surface, everyone's emotions were surging.
Is this really just normal tennis? Although I have long accepted the extraordinary aspects of Yagi Kei,
But it shot out an upgraded version of infrared rays - black hole rays!
This is a deadly move that kills anyone who touches it. Using it here, against them... isn't it a bit of an overkill...
Although everyone was not Echizen Ryuga, and Echizen Ryuga was not really hit by the ball,
But this move was really a warning to others and it sounded a wake-up call.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene was tense and stagnant, and it took a long time for things to flow smoothly.
The one who broke the deadlock was a dark-haired figure who took out another ball from his pocket after sending a ball in.
He had no idea that he had hit a straight ball that was beyond the reach of most people, and was completely absorbed in the world of scoring.
No hesitation, no hesitation, no emotion,
Hold the ball, throw the ball, swing the racket, jump, hit it——!
The black hole fell from the sky again, and the overwhelming gravity pressure almost crushed the spines of all those who witnessed this ball.
As for the person who hit the ball, Yagi Kei seemed to be completely unaffected and continued to move as he should.
A black dot was born from his hand, and as soon as he slapped it, a black ray stretched to infinity and rushed straight to the other side of the net.
“!!!”
--here we go again!
At this moment, whether it was Ryuga Echizen or the onlookers in the stands, everyone had this sentence deeply weighed on their minds.
Despite having faced that blow head-on before, this ball was still not so easy to deal with for Ryuga Echizen, who had changed his racket again.
A completely new form of attack, with unprecedented destructive power,
This ball,
Echizen Ryuga was forced to the last inch of distance with both hands holding the racket. If he didn't fight back, it would be too late. If he didn't fight back, he would have no chance.
He gripped the racket tightly between his fingers and rushed forward towards the direction of the ball, swinging hard to hit it.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—"
The incessant high-speed friction sound was the same as the previous ball.
Seize the time and don't delay. Echizen Ryuga is racing against time. The racket can't bear this ball for too long, so he has to try his best to hit this ball back as quickly as possible!
Quickly determine and find the most accurate hitting position in just a few seconds.
The only advantage of this black hole ball over the butterfly ball is that it is not as fast and is completely within the range that can be captured by the naked eye.
But at the same time, the force of this ball increased several times!
The starting point is ten times the value of the butterfly ball!
Echizen Ryuya bit his back teeth hard, not letting out a breath, and directly faced the sniper and the middle gate.
People with excellent eyesight on the sidelines could already see the faint throbbing blue veins on his forehead. His condition was definitely not good, but this also fully demonstrated the terrifying strength of Yagi Kei.
Even so, even at this level, it was only the second of the three legendary skills...
If he were to be completely liberated, he would... to what extent, to what position, to what peak!
Echizen Ryuya's eyes were fixed on his arm and the black ball on the net. The more he resisted and hit, the more he felt his own powerlessness.
As if shaking the entire universe with human body,
But... it's not over yet!
[——Ding!]
[The current skill is being affected by the special dungeon boss, Echizen Ryuga's 'swallowed & deprived' skill——]
[Skill 2: '360-degree Thomas Spin, 100% Barehanded Blade Catch, Scheming Frog, Touch Your Belly Again, Cosmic Invincible Big Bang Attack' is being absorbed...]
oh?
Is the second skill also targeted by the special copy boss?
The player glanced sideways again.
[Skill 2: Devour & Deprive Progress: 0.000000001%]
[Estimated time required to complete Devour & Deprive: 2983756339012 days, 21 hours, 21 seconds]
Wow, here we go again.
The player silently looked up at the special copy BOSS on the opposite side who was scratched and injured, and admired from the bottom of his heart the ability of this special NPC to survive.
One skill one plus one skill two, wait for the special copy BOSS to complete the progress,
“…”
Everyone suddenly felt a chill.
Echizen Ryuga was the most sensitive, but he didn't have the energy to pay attention to it at the moment.
All his energy has been concentrated on hitting the ball back.
Even if he gave his all, he would definitely hit the ball back.
'Buzz buzz buzz buzz! ! ! !'
The ray struggling to escape focused on the last point, but the blocking racket seemed to rise eight feet high out of thin air. Finally, at the most stagnant point, he seized the opportunity!
This is it, a desperate attack that puts everything on the line—
Echizen Ryuga forcefully blasted the ball back at the person on the other side of the net!!
"——Fight back!"
The dark eyes moved, rolled slightly, and landed on the sphere, but without a single frame, they quickly moved back to rest on the face of Echizen Ryuga who was attacking them.
...look at him?
Echizen Ryoma sensed it, but confusion and many other emotions filled his heart.
After the confrontation, he had a rough idea of Yagi Kei's perception.
The most important and clear thing is that this guy will never make any unnecessary moves.
The goal is clear, clean and neat, pointing directly to the center,
Any sight and action is linked to the result.
So the purpose of this glance now is...
Player: The BOSS in this special copy is really survivable, take a closer look.
By the way - Gate A!!
Echizen Ryuga was thinking in the last second, and in the next second, he was knocked away on the spot!
Without any sign, warning or even preparation,
But, it just appeared like this,
A black ray shot out from the hand of Yagi Kei who was fighting back.
It happened so fast that almost no one could react, but it happened just like that.
Fight back, rush out, aim, attack——
Echizen Ryuga, the moment he couldn't keep up and didn't react, became the biggest victim!
Everyone, whether it is the Byodoin Phoenix on the field or the U17 team members and coaches off the field,
Some are sitting, some are putting their hands in their pockets, some are holding their rackets,
From afar, I watched as the mysterious poolside man number four was blasted from the ground by a ray, launching him off the ground and drawing a perfect parabola.
Round, full of curves, and distant——
“…”
"Will he come back..."
“…I don’t know, I don’t know…”
Suddenly, the man with the awning found something, the computer crashed and was shocked, shouting,
"No, hurry up and stop him now——that guy, that guy——"
“——That guy is about to fly out of U17 ahhhhhhhhhh!!!”
