Chapter 305 - Number Three In The First Battle!

A wise man would submit to circumstances.

It was obvious that Dom Dylan was such a person.

He knew his own strength and the damages that he could inflict.

He was a proud prince. He used all of his three fatal moves, ‘Fiery Explosive Barrage’, ‘Chest-busting Cannon’, and ‘Unlimited Firepower’, but William suffered minimal damage.

If he persisted further, he would be defeated.

He would never allow himself to be in a disadvantaged position!

He had accomplished his part. At least, he was able to suppress William for a short while. Now, it was time for him to leave.

“This is only the first round. It’s alright to lose. I don’t believe I’m going to meet opponents like William in the following rounds.” Dom thought about his next battle after he left the arena.

Since he was unable to find a way to defeat William, it was useless to fight any longer. He could preserve his strength for the next battle.

When the observers saw Dom leap off the arena, they did not boo at him.

They only felt that William was too strong for him.

If the Third Prince of the Lion Kingdom was willing to admit defeat, William’s next few battles would not be worth watching.

Unless he was still matched with top-notch professionals at the same level.

William had exhibited his prowess during the knockout rounds and in the three consecutive rounds.

He was rich, had superior equipment and incredible defense, possessed strong battle awareness, and inflicted devastating damage.

The Elven Prince was also well-versed in long-distance and close-combat.

He did not have any glaring weakness.

The Advanced Cannon Gunner could only make use of either magical crystals or his battle energy to fire off his rounds.

The damage inflicted would be serious and could kill off opponents.

But if the barrage of fire was unable to kill off the opponent, the Cannon Gunner would be at the mercy of the opponent.

In short, a Cannon Gunner who had not become a Grandmaster was no match for many professionals.

A Cannon Gunner could only reach his highest potential when he became a Grandmaster.

When using a barrage of firepower, a powerful Cannon Gunner could deliver three to five such volleys. The attacks would turn a comparatively weaker shield-bearer into meat sauce.

The damages for close-combat, long-distance, and area effects were astonishing.

For example, the hand cannons and close-combat skills could be considerably upgraded to deal with close-combat professionals.

As long as the Cannon Gunner was able to gain a certain distance from the opponent, the magical rifles would reign supreme.

Of course, the prerequisite was being very rich…

Being wealthy was the requirement. A piece of magical equipment would require more than one magical crystal for maintenance. Only a rich professional could afford to have such an impressive occupation.

William was perplexed when he saw Dom flee from the arena. He was going to remember Dom Dylan. In the future, he would teach him a good lesson.

He had completed three rounds of fighting. There would be no more fighting for today.

Burned Cinder noticed his lord leave the arena and hurried forward to greet him. He looked after William as he was trying to get into the good books of his lord. He had to show his sincerity to his master. Otherwise, he would become a backbencher in the future.

Annie finally heaved a sigh of relief. She wanted to speak to William, but it was her turn to fight in the arena.

A referee called out Annie’s name. She would be fighting in the second battle.

“Take care. Admit defeat if you’re unable to win!” William walked to the little princess and caressed her head.

Annie pushed off William’s hands. And before she left, she turned around. “I know. I’m older than you. Don’t mess up my hair…”

“Who are you reserving your hair for? I’m your only audience. I’ll dig out the eyes of anyone who dares to gaze at your hair,” William said, walking to the edge of the arena. He gazed firmly at Annie’s opponent.

It was a ranger with Epic bloodline.

It was not easy for him to become the victor in the knockout rounds.

However, his injuries had not fully recovered.

“Pfff, shameless creature.” Annie turned around and spat out her tongue at William.

She was about to unsheathe her sword when the ranger lowered his head and emotionally said, “I had vowed since the first day of my ranger career that I would never fight against Elves. Because Elves are the natural rangers. That’s my belief.

“I’m not the princess’ match. I’ll admit defeat.”

“Oh…” The referee gaped in surprise. He had not started the fight, yet the ranger had admitted defeat.

The ranger had leaped off the arena and fled. He knew that he was no match for the Moonlight Elven princess.

Even if he could defeat her, what if the violent Lord of Dawn sought vengeance on him?

What if the Moonlight Elves took revenge on him?

Even though it was a competition, and nobody would seek revenge, the ranger thought it was better to be on the safe side.

Annie could only beat her fists furiously on William’s chest.

“It’s neither painful nor itchy. Shall I remove my rune equipment for you to beat me?” William mischievously laughed.

“You’re irritating!”

“I’m definitely not an immortal…”

Annie did not understand William’s words and kept mum. She sat down to wait for her third battle.

At this time, Burned Cinder, Diablo, and Alec were fighting in their second battles.

Burned Cinder’s opponent was very weak. He was a fire element warrior with Epic bloodline. Burned Cinder had not encountered a worthy opponent yet.

Burned Cinder would definitely defeat him.

When the two fire element warriors clashed, one of the flames would certainly be extinguished…

But Diablo and Alec encountered legendary opponents.

Unfortunately, Diablo’s opponent was a legendary shield-bearer.

In a duel, a shield-bearer was unable to bring out his full potential. Although the defenses of a shield-bearer were very good, his damage rating was inferior. Unless it was a weird shield-bearer with devastating attack skills, most of the shield-bearers were not able to inflict much damage.

However, a legendary shield-bearer was still a powerful opponent for many people.

But when the shield-bearer’s opponent was a legendary dual-class warrior and a mage, the difference in power was even more obvious.

Diablo’s fight was relatively easy for him. After fighting for more than half an hour, the legendary shield-bearer conceded defeat. He wanted to preserve his strength for the next round.

As for Alec’s opponent…

It was an unlucky legendary mage. Perhaps, he only had a single-digit luck point.

An Advanced mage was unable to bring out his full potential. Unfortunately, he had encountered a legendary assassin.

It was a one-sided fight.

The battle did not last for more than three minutes.

After Alec slashed for the fifth time, the bloodied mage conceded defeat.

William did not pay attention to their third-round battles.

All the professionals were not interested in other battles. They had gathered around a particular arena.

It was the battle between the third-seeded contestant Sardin Peak and the top-seeded Delosis.

“Somebody’s more unfortunate. Perhaps, their matches were also fixed.” Electric arcs could be spotted in William’s intense gaze. He chose a good spot and levitated in mid-air to watch the battle.

“The reincarnation of the God of Fury. Has he recalled the memories of his previous life?” William intensely watched both of them.

He recognized the familiar Delosis.

He was tall and had thick black hair, bushy brows, and thick lips. He looked very ugly.

William reminded himself not to laugh at his frightening and ugly looks, as Delosis had outstanding combat power.

People who scoffed at Delosis’s looks were basically killed.

Many players who had previously scoffed at him had been eliminated…

The referee gave the signal for the battle to commence.

The body surface of Delosis combusted with battle energy flames. Even his hair and brows had turned into flames.

Many fire element professionals inhaled a gust of cold air at the sight.

What kind of endowment was that?

Had Delosis gone too far as a fire element warrior?

Was this the reason why he was listed as the top seed in the intelligence report?

The prodigal son of the fire element!

When professionals had certain elemental attributes, the elements would show from the body’s battle energy. However, the skin and flesh would have resistance to these elements.

Because an Advanced professional could not turn his flesh body into the elements.

Only a Grandmaster professional could do that.

An Epic professional could transform his body into the initial element.

When the naked Old Band had a breakthrough in the dimension vortex, his body had turned into a dimensional shell. With the help of that, he was able to bring William into many dimension tunnels and escape the Epic pursuers.

But Delosis had achieved this feat at the Advanced level.

Although only his brows and the hairs turned into flames, it symbolized an important change.

That was the incredible capability and endowment of the reincarnation of a God.

“Of course, Delosis appears inferior to the reincarnation of the Fire God…” William stroked his chin. The reincarnation of the Fire God was at the continent of the European players, instead of the legendary continent.

However, it was nothing to be worried about.

The players were always wandering around. They would encounter him sooner or later.

When the nine continents merged together, the reincarnations of the Gods would be seen everywhere.

Well, many of them would be hunted down.

They were mere reincarnations and not the real Gods descending upon the continent.

“The reincarnation of the God of Fury is capable of defeating 90% of all legendary Advanced professionals.”

“The reincarnation of a God is on par with the sages. Even though they have legendary bloodlines, the reincarnation is much more superior due to the inherent endowment.”

That was what William thought, but he could not be sure Delosis would win.

Because Sardin Peak was not weak, at all.

He had become a legendary professional in the later stages and was close to becoming a sage. He also possessed outstanding endowments.

“Sardin has not attained his highest peak performance. This light element warrior who wields dual hammers has not bathed in the fresh blood of his nemesis, the Black Dragon.” William could not resist chuckling.

This light element warrior would be the future Light and Dark Godly Hammer.

In the future, both of them would be outstanding professionals.

While William was lost in his imagination, Sardin tossed his dual hammers that flew faster than sonic speed. Booming explosions could be heard along the hammers’ trails.

Delosis positioned his legs into the ground. A flaming wave that was a few meters thick rose in front of him.

The dual hammers penetrated the flaming wave, and Delosis was about to grasp at the hammers, but then the hammers returned to Sardin with supersonic speed.

They gazed at each other, and sparks were seen from their eyes.

The battle drumbeat had commenced.
