Chapter 206 - Clutch King's Defeat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Right now, Clutch King’s ranking was second to Li Yi’s, and he was known as the second-in-command of Carefree Station.

Dream Seeker was not as famous as Clutch King, and even now, not many people knew about his existence.

It was mainly because Dream Seeker was a low-key person, unlike Clutch King, who was always brazen, and who was in the top five on the ranking list.

Although the current system of the level rankings had changed a little since most people had reached level 30, in addition to their levels, there was also a ranking of combat strength.

Of course, Clutch King was still up and running in terms of that aspect.

That was why he was well-known by everyone.

They had originally thought that Clutch King would be the last person on the list, but who would have thought that he would be brought out in just the second round.

This was also one of Li Yi’s strategies.

Clutch King’s strength, like Li Yi’s, was widely publicized.

If they left Clutch King for last, they would certainly have a higher chance of winning.

However, if their opponent was Misty Rain Guild, they would have to reconsider.

Before Misty World had confirmed Li Yi’s strategy, they had generally used a different tactic. This could be seen from them sending out Misty Moon in the first match.

This time, sending out Clutch King — who was publicly recognized as the strongest — to catch them off guard was the best tactic. This way, it would be even harder for Misty World to predict Li Yi’s tactics.

In order to deal with Misty World, Li Yi had racked his brain with whatever he could come up with to counter his ideas.

This time, Clutch King’s opponent was Misty Whirlwind, who was of the same class as him.

Misty Whirlwind was also well-known in the guild. His high-speed offensive technique, Whirlwind Slash, was terrifying. Everywhere he went, he dealt high-explosive damage.

In addition to his unique super high attack speed, it could be said that as long as Misty Whirlwind started spinning, his opponent would already be down before he stopped.

Of course, in terms of speed, Clutch King still had the upper hand.

After all, right now, Clutch King’s speed could be considered the fastest in the entire server.

In this match of speed, Misty Whirlwind had already lost before the fight even started.

However, when Li Yi saw Misty World’s expression, it made him a little worried.

Could it be that Misty Whirlwind had some hidden tricks up his sleeve? 

The battle began.

Clutch King flashed the spear in his hand and disappeared on the spot.

Misty Whirlwind did not waste any time and directly used a set of Whirlwind Slash to counter it.

Misty Whirlwind was so fast the wind roared in the arena and he moved just as quickly.

In the blink of an eye, he collided with Clutch King’s attacks.

The two blades were like wind blades that launched a crushing attack on him.

Clutch King had been careless, and the spear in his hand had been struck before he could pull it out.

Unfortunately, Misty Whirlwind was unlucky. This was just a shadow clone of Clutch King.

The two of them hovered in the air at the same time, and the long spear in the air went straight into the center of the tornado.

This move seemed to be brilliant. In just a breath, Clutch King had already aimed at Misty Whirlwind’s head.

This stab could be a critical hit!

However, as the long spear was about to hit, a blade appeared out of nowhere and deflected it.

Clutch King, who was still in the air, was pushed back by the rebounding force.

“Block!”

The corners of Misty World’s mouth curled up slightly.

Everyone knew about the Cyclone skill, but no one knew that Misty Whirlwind had a trick up his sleeve.

It was the effect of the Cyclone, which automatically generated two blades as a defensive mechanism when it launched a cyclone attack and would block any attack it encountered.

This was the power of Cyclone, which had its own wind blades to protect the host.

Li Yi was deep in thought.

This was a skill that he had in his previous life.

It could be considered one of his main skills in the early stages. Unfortunately, in the later stages, this defensive effect was not as impactful.

Blocking the wind blade, to put it bluntly, was just reducing damage.

It was not a proper defensive skill like having a shield. It was just a small mechanism that came with the Whirlwind Slash skill.

There was a limit to how much damage this kind of mechanism could withstand. As long as the damage was higher than this, it could still cause great damage.

Of course, this kind of damage could only be done at level 40, and for Clutch King now, it would be almost unsolvable.

If it had been Li Yi, he might have had a way to break it. After all, he was very familiar with this skill.

It was a pity that they were in the middle of a match. He could not give any guidance.

It was up to Clutch King whether or not he could crack this situation.

Clutch King used his shadow clone again.

In one turn, three shadow clones attacked the Cyclone in one shot.

They were so fast that even the audience could only see afterimages of the players.

Clutch King had already arrived in front of Misty Whirlwind and was trying to cut a path for himself.

Misty Whirlwind was not an ordinary player. He could immediately tell what Clutch King was planning to do. He immediately jumped up and did a headstand in the air. With the help of the Whirlwind Slashes, he bounced Clutch King off again and even managed to graze him.

“-1,510!”

“-1,502!”

“D*mn it, why is this so hard?”

Li Yi frowned, feeling a little anxious.

Clutch King’s fast attacks were indeed powerful, but if he could not deal any damage to the other party, he would be the one at a disadvantage.

This was because Clutch King had to move at high speed at all times, which was a huge drain on his physical strength. This huge drain on his physical strength was extremely disadvantageous to him.

Although Clutch King was fast, his physical strength was extremely poor.

He was slightly weaker than an ordinary person.

At the end of every battle, Clutch King would always be exhausted and run out of physical strength. Thus, Clutch King mostly fought as quickly as possible to outspeed his opponent.

However, the current situation obviously did not allow him to do that.

The only way to break this Whirlwind Slash was to quickly stop it from spinning.

Clutch King did not seem to have any other way, so he put away the Lightning Spear.

He took out Twin Beasts.

With the Twin Beasts, he can now speed up his attacking pace.

Clutch King already had his own plan in mind. Since he could not hit it with damage, he would just have a higher attacking rate.

With the Twin Beasts skill, Clutch King’s speed would reach unprecedented speed and ferocity.

Clutch King held his breath and focused his mind, trying to recover some strength.

Misty Whirlwind would not give him this chance; he arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

He had taken this opportunity to sneak attack Clutch King.

An afterimage slid down.

Three Clutch King appeared at the same time at Misty Whirlwind’s three angles — north, southwest, and northwest.

They attacked at the same time.

“Block!”

One strike missed, and then another, and another, and so forth.

“Block!”

“Block!”

“Block!”

“Block!”

…

However, no matter how many times Clutch King attacked, his opponent would always block it.

Clutch King was never discouraged.

He was not as powerful as Li Yi, nor was he like Dream Seeker, who would wait for an opportunity to strike.

He only knew how to attack quickly and fiercely. He had also relied on this kind of attack to survive till now.

He did not want to beat around the bush, and he also did not like to wait around.

If one attack was not enough, he would do it twice; if two attacks were not enough, he would do it countless times.

With his speed, he had killed countless enemies and experts.

He was Clutch King, who was as fast as lightning and killed a hundred people with a single spear attack!

He would never admit defeat.

He was also unwilling to accept this fact.

Unfortunately, in the end, he still lost.

He had exhausted his physical strength too quickly, and in the end, Clutch King had not been able to break the Misty Whirlwind’s Wind Slashes. When he had exhausted his physical strength, he had been defeated by the Misty Whirlwind..
