Chapter 738 - King Of The Hill IV

The first group of teams that made their moves are those that have quicker team members. This teams included the Japanese National Team, The Philippine National Team and the Chinese National Team. There is at least one member of their team that has great speed and agility with enough strength to carry the flag unhindered.

For the Japanese National Team, Blade and Vayu fit the description. For the Philippine National team, Apolaki is the best one as the others are just of average speed or with speed but not enough strength to outrun others. For the Chinese National Team, the Twin Blades, Jiang and Ye, fit this bill as they are swordsmen that have great strength and agility.

The Twin Blades, Jiang and Ye, met with Hou Yiwei in the bottom of the cliff where he landed and decided to put their base there. It might not have been their first choice, but Hou Yiwei looked at his surroundings and confidently stated that he could snipe anyone before they even manage to drop down.

They remember that they got humiliated by the Russian National team and swore that they will bury that team under. In fact, Hou Yiwei is definitely the best defensive member when it comes to defending their flag as the cliff is really high and he will immediately spot someone descending.

The other four members of the Chinese National Team have abilities that could make them fly which is why descending down a canyon is not that difficult for them. Jiang and Ye could actually ride their swords as a sort of vehicle. This type of ability only exists on the eastern continent where it is only possible for sages or sword saints.

The job class of these two are not just ordinary sword saints as they use special blades in order to cultivate. They might lack when it comes to the number of skills, but they have high masteries in their skills. Some of their basic skills even evolved into a different skill when they cultivated a different way.

The Twin Blades only lost to Sveto due to how the power scaling is against them. The other national teams will also know of Sveto's almost cheat like power. The Twin Blades tried targeting the teams in the marshland area first as they have the confidence in escaping if they get in a sticky situation.

The east would have been an ideal place, but they knew that the eastern part of the map is not that great of an area. They know that only a select number of national teams will choose that place as not every player has the capacity to swim or fly.

Either by a twist of fate or just their luck, the Twin Blades encountered the United Kingdom National Team. The flag of their country is waving ferociously as the guards of the flag glared at the uninvited visitors.

The ones who are defending the flag are Pendragon and Merlin. Pendragon kept a stoic face, but a vicious gaze of a predator could be seen just by looking at his face. Merlin smiled seductively as she stretched her body for the upcoming exercise that she will now experience.

"I think we should test the waters for now." Ye stated as she looked at Jiang to see his confirmation.

"I agree. Those two are definitely on our level but we will still be better. We should still take caution as Hou Yiwei is already in an unpleasant mood due to our blunder of being killed." Jiang whispered back.

The Twin Blades then released an attack using their sword aura. They released a sword swipe with just their aura alone but the surrounding mud on the flight path of the two scattered. The intensity of that attack is nothing to scoff at despite them only testing the waters.

Merlin's mouth showed a foxy smile as she did not even chant. She just signaled using her two fingers for something to rise up and a mud wall literally blocked the attacks of the Twin Blades like nothing. The Twin Blades are a bit stunned that their attack did not even pierce two different mud walls.

In fact, even just one mud wall managed to block their attack that combined in the strike area. This is one of their skills in effect called Stronger Together. It is basically a passive skill that joins their released sword aura skills when they hit the same area. The damage will then be multiplied by two after adding the power of the two attacks.

This passive skill also affects their basic attacks, but the restriction is that they must hit the area in a consecutive fashion. They must also do so in a time frame of five seconds or else the skill effect will not trigger. This just shows that the coordination of the couple duo is not just for show as they are also childhood sweethearts that know everything about each other that they mastered even the small habits of one another.

The female audience in the crowd melted when they saw the bond that the Twin Blades shared while the single people could only show their displeasure. The Twin Blades followed up on the attacks, but they only used long range attacks for now as they have this feeling that they should not get near the other team.

"Oh! It seems their instincts are better than the scout player that we encountered earlier. They sense something dangerous in the area which is why they are keeping their distance." Merlin stated for only Pendragon to hear.

"They will not show a gap unless we make one for them to exploit." Pendragon stated as he just stood there again with his sword on its sheath.

Merlin then momentarily became serious, but it is all a façade as she only did so to make the enemy think that she is frustrated of them. She conjured up water and fire spells by manifesting the magic circles beside the Twin Blades.

The Twin Blades saw the magic circles being formed and did what others think as impossible. The Twin Blades cut the magic circle as if they cut a piece of paper with a sharp knife.. This not only shocked the other team but also the audience as silence enveloped the arena.
