Chapter 346: Greenstone in Action
Dantings almost chaotic combat style gave Drako Yau headaches at times. In the end, his training for Danting consisted only of basic combat movements. It was similar to the old geezers harsh initial training regimen that forged Drako Yaus fundamental techniques. Apart from that, he gave no advice or requests and allowed Danting to exhibit his unconventional techniques.
As the battle went on, Tong felt the pressure on him mounting. The young man was like a sponge that absorbed and assimilated his movements to come up with the best counter. He focused his eyes on Danting, only to find that the young man was an absolute idiot who lacked combat intelligence.
Hes doing all this out of instinct?!
As Tong fought, he also paid attention to the ongoing war around him. His squadmates names darkened one after another, indicating their demise. Much to his surprise, the sly Fiddlestick was the first to die; it was so shocking that he gave away an opening and was almost struck by Danting. The next ones to fall were the Peterpie and Allmighty brothers. A not-so-unacceptable outcome, considering their enemy was Mask.
Then came Hawks turn. As Danting kept Tong occupied, the enemy ranger slipped past him and closed in on Hawk. Caught in close-range combat, Hawk died without putting on much of a resistance.
Im all alone. Tong put on a bitter smile and said, Kid, maybe well fight again someday.
Tong then quickly retreated backwards. His character slowly turned transparent and faded out of existence.
Hey! Where are you going! screamed Danting, though he received no response from Tong.
This was a staged encounter quest. They participated in the quest because they were part of the story. Once they gave up on the quest, theyd naturally leave the map.
Tong was no warrior; he was a soldier to the bone. Personal interests came before anything else. While he wasnt sure how many enemy players were alive, he estimated that they had at least two to three active combatants considering the deaths of his squadmates in quick succession. Add the young swordsman and the ranger who went for Hawk to the tally, and the enemy force was up to five players.
Tong might be confident in his strength, but he wasnt conceited enough to believe he could fend off all five of them alone. Moreover, he was Level 44. Itd be foolish to lose a level to a battle of wills.
Today, Drako Yau was no longer the helpless young man who could do nothing to stop himself from exploding. Achieving initial accomplishment with the Cryoflame Style had built a world within him. Greenstone was no ordinary herbalist; by just measuring his pulse, he could sense the complete yin-yang symbol within him.
The ying-yang symbol startled Greenstone, but he continued his diagnosis right away. The current situation was no better than the previous crisis, if not worse. The ying-yang symbol sucked in rampaging forces and tamed them, yet a rogue force had emerged out of nowhere to resist the symbols pacification.
While the rogue force was insignificant compared to the yin-yang symbol, it took advantage of Drako Yaus injuries to strengthen its foothold in his body. Once they took shape, the damage to his body might be irreversible.
Greenstone saw no time to waste. He immediately ordered, Sasaki, clear the surroundings. Dumbgirl and Poet will follow Oda Nobunaga. Strider and Dan, meet up with the two girls.
They glanced at one another. Drako Yau was usually the one giving out orders and having Greenstone, who rarely spoke, take on that role was quite unexpected, not to mention his orders were clear and concise.
Get moving, Greenstone made himself clear, his voice containing a tint of rage.
Everyone sprung into action at his words. This was the battlefield, a less than ideal place to undergo treatment, but Drako Yaus situation left Greenstone with little choice. Fortunately, the blast had sent them flying several hundred metres back. They were out of Akechi territory, and the Oda soldiers knew better to stay out of their way.
Greenstone wriggled his meaty fingers, summoning three thin needles between them.
