Chapter 89: WBT: preliminaries part-2

As Wil is wondering about the action of the opponent, suddenly, Supreme Master pulled a lever down and the canon made a click sound and a beam of light shot upwards and then formed an energy barrier twenty meters around him.

Looking at his mana drain and time, Supreme Master nodded in satisfaction, "it's a good thing I used all of my skill points on this skill in the last minute. Now, all I just need to stay like this for the next 5 minutes and it'll end in a draw."

Looking at the energy barrier before him, Wil frowned, "what kind of energy barrier is this? It's definitely not one of the gunner's default skills."

Then, Wil took out a normal arrow and aimed at it as he mumbled, "since, he placed a barrier with great confidence, is it an invincible barrier or just a high defense barrier? Let's test it."

As Wil shot an arrow towards the barrier, it successively struck it and broken into two pieces before "-1" appeared on Supreme Master's head.

Upon seeing it, Wil's lips curled up, "it's not an invincible barrier. An Invincible barrier nullifies the damage to 0 but his Hp was decreased by 1. So, it's an ultra-high defense barrier that can easily withstand 1 million of damage. That means, it can probably withstand until 2 million?

Hmm, Golem is one of my trump cards. I can't reveal it yet. So, that leaves with Zenon's spirit and Ice arrow but what if it can withstand more attack damage? That makes me look like a fool if the match ends up in a draw…"

After thinking deeply for a while, Wil asked directly, "Supreme Master, how much damage that your barrier can withstand?"

"Eh?" Supreme Master was indeed surprised by Wil's actions but stayed silent as he doesn't want to reveal it obviously…

Wil sighed, "I just want to know whether it's worth to continue the match or not. Just tell me whether it can withstand 2 million of damage or not. Don't need to give me the exact number."

If it is anyone, they wouldn't open their mouth either. But, since Supreme Master is a close ally, he simply nodded without saying anything else.

Getting his confirmation, Wil said, "fine. Since you are adamant about staying in that turtle shell, let's not waste too much time and make it draw."

"Huh? You are willing to draw?" Supreme Master looked at Wil in surprise and asked him again as he didn't believe his ears for the first time. It was only when he received a notification; Supreme Master sighed in relief and accepted it.

*Ding. Your opponent wishes to draw. Accept the outcome?

*Ding. You accepted the outcome. The match is a draw. You receive a score of zero points.

Meanwhile, Wil, who also received a notification, closed it and went back to the white space before looking at the info that has 1 draw on it.

"It's fine. He is an ally and it's just preliminaries. Let's just think I wasted another two minutes." 

He continued his battles and started winning streak from 1 again…

8 hours later;

As soon as the match started, as usual, Wil started to shoot continuously without giving any chance to the opponent to finish the match quickly. The opponent, who was a healer, dodged the first attack, but the second arrow pierced her left shoulder and disappeared.

As she raised her staff and used a massive single-target heal on herself, another arrow pierced her throat and she died.

*Ding. You won the battle in 3 seconds. You received a score of 2970 and a battle coin.

Looking at the info and rankings, Wil mumbled, "Hmm, I might hit top 3 by the time the rankings refreshed. Okay, let's go for the 500th winning streak. Once this is over, I'll log out and sleep."

As Wil pushed the start button, it loaded this time for an entire two seconds before matching with the opponent.

*Ding. You matched up with Death King. Your match is going to start in 5 seconds.

Weford City, Searvale Kingdom, Xynnar Continent;

Inside the Battle Arena that filled with more than a hundred thousand viewers, of which all of them have pointy ears, five sisters are watching different battles on the small screens before them while ignoring the battles on the big screen in the stadium that is playing random battles. 

Not only they are extremely beautiful, but they also seemed like rich girls as they were seen wearing extremely dazzling outfits that costs 50 gold, which made every men's eyes glued to them instead of concentrating on their screens while women were busy cursing them in their minds...

Even though all of them are only level-1, still, no one dared to go and talk to them because of their terrifying background.

As the sisters continued to watch the battles together, the eldest of them asked, "So, what are your opinions so far?" 

Then, the youngest sister replied as she glued to her screen, "it's obvious that "One" is the favorite to win."

The Third sister shook her head, "if it was one week ago, that might be the case. But now, there are other favorites like Devil, Magi, Supreme Conqueror, and Wishing Hero. All of them are first in their respective groups and have similar scores."

The Second sister nodded, "it's true that all five of them have the chance to win but still, there's a large level gap between them and "One". Once the tournaments move into the knock out rounds, "One" can easily destroy them."

As the youngest sister smiled and showed a "V" sign to her third sister, the fourth sister intervened with a cold tone, "I think none of those five will win this tournament. This guy from group 115 will win. All of his battles are OHKO."

"Eh? One strike?" As the remaining four sisters turned their heads towards the fourth sister in a surprise, the latter spoke, "his name is Crimson Sun…"

As the youngest sister snorted, "please, who are you kidding? He didn't even make the top of the list. Must have faced weaklings."

Meanwhile, the eldest sister changed her channel to 115 on the screen and clicked on Crimson Sun, who is at 5th rank.

After waiting for 5 minutes, finally, Crimson Sun entered the match. As soon as the match started, he just slashed on empty air once. Before the opponent knows what's going on, his body was slashed, and died. 

"Eh?" With a shocked expression on her face, the eldest sister continued to wait for the next match. After watching five matches in a row, she spoke, "girls, I think we have a winner…" 

Before her words finished, the random battle on the big screen suddenly changed and one from the crowd that's near to the sisters screamed, "Omg! It's Death King versus Time Traveler."

"Who?" As the youngest sister wondered, the third sister did a quick check on the groups once again and replied, "Oh, it's just a battle between first and sixth rankings from group 56."

"1st and 6th? Well, top 10 ranked battles are always pleasing to see," commented second sister as she turned her eyes to the big screen.
