Chapter 720 - Sharp Shooter End III

"So, you finally decided to move as well. But you are too late." Blade stated as he retreated.

"Null do something about that player." Totem stated as he ordered Null to dissipate the skill that Vayu is channeling.

"I cannot. I cannot dispel something that is out of my league. He also applied it to his body as well. The only way to dispel it is to kill him." Null stated as she could not even attempt to dispel the God of Storms.

Vayu finally achieved his final form as his body turned partially into a spirit. He is now full elemental in this form as he shed half of his humanity in order to become a True Elemental. Vayu suddenly sent a sword swing from his left as he managed to parry an incredible attack that came towards him.

The parried attack even sent Blade a few steps back due to the immense strength behind the attack that came from Hou Yiwei himself. Even Vayu is shocked as the attack almost broke his arm off if he did not exert enough energy into it.

Blade noticed this as well and could finally see that the attack is definitely not ordinary. He could also see that the bow that Hou Yiwei is using is pulsing a weird energy that is making him somewhat nauseous.

"That is a god killing weapon boy! Even someone like me is inferior to it but that is only the case if you do not let me borrow your body." The katana that Blade held suddenly echoed through his mind.

Blade is not an ordinary swordsman as well and he has yet to show the world of his true skill. His real job class is actually the Unique Job Class 'Demon Blade'. His job class is shrouded in mystery because he just tells people that he is just a normal swordsman since he has witnessed what the real 'Demon Blade' could really do.

"Shut up, Talim. I know of your abilities, and I will not use that ever again. You have the restraint of a child which will endanger everything." Blade replied as he did not want to use the 'Possession' skill of the Demon Blade 'Talim' nonchalantly.

Blade actually got this katana by chance in a hidden shrine in the eastern continent. It is sealed but still radiated power that almost killed him just from that alone. He remembered that the katana or rather the demon called Talim talked to him when they first encountered each other.

The demon, Talim, is actually a real demon from ancient times whose soul has been sealed by the Asmodians for punishment of his cruel methods of achieving peace. Despite knowing this, Blade still agreed with the pack as he got the Unique Job Class 'Demon Blade' in the end after the first Unique Job Class is reported to be announced.

"You know that if you die then I die with you as well. Remember that we are one with each other. My victory is also your victory." Talim added in order to entice his other half.

"You will be able to rampage later so do not worry. There are still other chances as I promised." Blade stated.

"You must keep your promise as it has been a while since I have experienced a great battle." Talim replied as it became silent once again.

"Soul of the Sword!" Blade stated as his sword suddenly glowed in a dark red aura. The floating swords that created the sword cage also glowed in a red aura.

"Here is the famed 'Soul of the Sword' skill that all warrior class users with swords unlock at level 200! This is the first time that a player has shown the limit break skill! The Soul of the Sword skill is basically both a passive and an active skill.

The passive skill grants the resource bar called Sword Energy where it could be used as a resource for skills instead of mana. It also grants a passive buff of increased damage when equipped with the sword by 50%.

The active part of the skill doubles the damage increase of any sword related damage! Truly the number one swordsman! Blade has achieved the second enhancement!" The announcer stated which riled the crowd even more especially the players that use a sword as a weapon.

Blade did not idle as he started to attack all of their enemies. The players were wary of Blade, but they are more wary of Vayu because he is now gone from his position. The only one that could see where Vayu went is Hou Yiwei.

The dragonkin archer had no choice but to follow Vayu to the sky as he shot arrows of fast speeds to disrupt the latter's attempt to destroy the Golden Sprite. Blade saw this and wanted to go and catch up with his Sensei but the Jiang and Ye stopped him.

The Twin Blades also activated their Soul of the Sword and the aura that coated their sword is of different color compared to Blade's dark red. Jiang's sword aura is of the white color while Ye's sword aura is of the black color.

"It seems that we have been ignored." Shado stated as they do not feel strongly about being ignored.

"It is better that way or else they will interrupt us with our plans." Totem stated as he finally finished his prayers.

The other national team players did not notice that something is happening behind the scenes as even the audience were unaware as the primary focus is not on the United States National Team. Eight pillars with different patterns suddenly dropped from the sky as it surrounded the cage blade that Blade has created.

[You are in the land declared by the Spirit Shaman as his holy land.]

[All damage output is decreased by 30%.]

[All defenses are decreased by 20%.]

"Shado and Null deal with those three while I also compete for the Golden Sprite." Totem stated as he activated another skill. Shado and Null nodded as their next step is to prevent Blade, Jiang and Ye from restricting their leader's movement.

"Spirit Possession: Griffon!" Totem stated as one of the small totem necklaces on his neck glowed. The spirit of the Griffon is now empowering his body. A mythical beast so powerful that it is said to rule the skies freely. His armor that is just loosely garb made of animal skins with prints suddenly became feathers.

"Blessing of the Wind Spirit!" Totem activated as his body became enveloped in a soft gentle wind that ruffled the feathers that grew out of him. Vayu and Hou Yiwei could not ignore this as there is actually someone that is almost the same speed as them.

Vayu would get close to the Golden Sprite only to be distracted by the arrows that Hou Yiwei will fire at him. When Hou Yiwei will get a clear shot at the Golden Sprite, Totem would suddenly try and kill him. If Totem is about to grab the Golden Sprite, then Vayu would come swinging his sword down against him.

The three-way deadlock between the Vayu, Hou Yiwei and Totem became the highlight of the event that the crowd actually grew silent due to their focus on the match. They felt that they would miss a single movement if they were to just blink.

Even the announcer became awestruck and silent as he is also a big fan of the games. It is only when the developers behind the scenes blasted his earpiece to actually do his job that made him come back to reality. The announcer collected himself as he once again did his job.

"It seems that the three players could not decide who is better amongst them while their teammates are still fighting with each other. It seems that whoever wins the match between Blade, Jiang, Ye, Shado and Null will be able to decide who will be the winner.

But Team Japan will be the loser if the fight draws to a lengthy time as we do not know when will the skill that the swordsman, Vayu, will end. It seems that Totem and Hou Yiwei are also waiting for that chance to happen.

The golden sprite suddenly looked like a small prey that is trapped between three predators. Who do you think will earn the win of the event!?" The announcer stated which made everyone shout the player that they want to succeed.

"I agree that all of you are formidable, but I must get this win." Vayu stated as his sword suddenly carried a different aura that changed even the surroundings. Dark clouds gathered in the battlefield which made Blade smile as the plan is now in motion.

"Petal Sword Dance!" Blade stated as the thousand of swords became like cherry blossoms that suddenly blocked the view of the ones he is battling.

"Thunderhammer Slash!" Vayu stated as the whole field suddenly became flooded with light as a large lightning bolt came crashing down.
