Chapter 718 - Sharp Shooter End I

[Thirty points have been accumulated by all players. The first disaster will hit. Be careful of your surroundings.]

Another disaster strikes the battlefield but this one did not have much effect on the others. The next disaster is none other than a giant tornado that traversed the map in under ten minutes. The players did not have difficulty surviving the disaster, but they did have a difficult time hitting targets.

Although the targets became frozen in place when a disaster hit, the long-range attacks that the players fired all got swept up. The attakcs became ineffective as the tornado also created some sort of wind barrier in the sky that dispelled spell shots and veered arrows from their path.

Some tried to fly and destroy the targets, but they are unfortunately caught up in the strong winds. They did not die but they did get damaged to a point that it became difficult to stand up without healing from a priest.

"It seems that the disaster is truly a disaster this time as the national team players is not able to score during its passing." The announcer stated as players are now back to scoring more points than before. It did not take long for another disaster to hit as Hou Yiwei shot down three targets worth ten points.

[Thirty points have been accumulated by all players. The first disaster will hit. Be careful of your surroundings.]

The next disaster also started to shake the earth. The players thought that it was another earthquake, but it is far more dangerous than that. They noticed that the cracks on the ground started to sink a little and the temperature started to rise.

This happened in all of the areas and those that are the brains of each team knew what came next. Lava started to rise from the ground as the player started to vacate to another area. The lava started at the left side of the entire area until it creeped slowly to the right.

After each minute, a large explosion of lava came from the ground that erupted like a geyser. Team eliminations started to happen as the players could not easily evade the disaster that they have summoned. It did not take long for others to use the lava explosions for their own gain.

Some solo players managed to create sneak attacks on teams that were fleeing from an explosion. A sneaky crowd control skill would be all they needed, and they just needed to time it correctly. Players that are exposed to the lava explosions could only die in agony.

Even the dragonkin that have superb fire elemental resistance can only die due to the mixture of heat and rock shards. The disaster finally subsided, and the remaining teams can only be numbered by three as they used the disaster well.

The solo players managed to kill some of the national teams that are only two or three, but they got hunted down by the teams that still had four or five members. In the end, the United States, Japan and China national teams are the only ones left due to the scuffle that occurred.

United States were left with three, Japan is left with two and China is left with three as well. The United States Team is left with Null, Shado and their captain Totem. Japan is left with Blade and Vayu while China still had Hou Yiwei, and the famous couple called the twin blades, Jiang and Ye.

Not even one of the teams are left with supporting players as their healers all got killed since they are usually the ones being targeted first. The crowd is now filled with anticipation as this might be the last round of the event because of the way that the battlefield looks like.

A raging inferno has resulted in most of the forest being burnt down. Even the ashes of the trees are still producing fire. The only safe place in the whole battlefield is where the mountain collapsed due to the earthquake. The lava that erupted in that area easily became stone due to the cold rocks of the mountain.

"It looks like we will finally have the decisive battle now folks! Let me just tally the current scores of the remaining teams. In the lead is Team Japan with 61 points followed by Team China which is 55 points and lastly Team United States with 46 points.

Each team are not that far off in the points department, but the only target left is the Golden Sprite! The other targets have been destroyed by the disasters that came rampant. We still have one hour to decide which team will be victorious!

What will the strategy of each team be? Will they go for the win by destroying the Golden Sprite? Or will the leading team just have an all-out battle with the other competitors? Let us find that out!" The announcer stated as he told the two possibilities that each team could do.

While everyone wanted to see the brawl between each of the national team members, they wanted to see who could actually destroy the Golden Sprite as it was elusive enough to evade all the arrows that Hou Yiwei fired against it.

Even the Homing Arrows that the rangers use cannot target the Golden Sprite. It would actually dodge at the last second and it would sometimes slightly touch the arrows with its wing tips to destroy them. The Golden Sprite is more intelligent that they thought.

"Sensei, destroy the Golden Sprite at all costs." Blade stated as he activated one of his most famous skills.

"Dance of Blades!" Blade stated as his sword started to get copied into thousands that created a makeshift arena. All the players trapped within the arena will need to escape before the five-minute interval or else all the swords that got copied will be aimed towards their necks.

This is the signature skill that Blade uses which earned him the title of Thousand Cut Swordsman.. The only weakness of this skill is to eliminate the user that created the arena.
