Chapter 413: Desperate Struggle
Dragon Kingdom's non-specialist vs. Holy Light Empire's twin princesses!
After many twists and turns, the 'Quarterfinal Championship' has finally reached its final stage!
Though the two princesses of the Holy Light Empire had previously been defeated by Ling Zhan.
This time, facing him head-on again, the situation was different.
This non-specialist was unable to use any active skills, talents, or buffs granted by priests in this field.
All he could rely on was his terrifying combat techniques and his monstrous physical strength!
And of course...
His unpredictable multi-form weapon.
On the other hand, the two princesses were at full power!
No one could predict who would win this battle!
Everyone watched with bated breath, eagerly awaiting the fight!
Click!!
At this moment.
The non-specialist made the first move!
The incomparably sharp white longsword dissolved into silver liquid, merging and weaving together, eventually forming a jet-black anti-tank sniper rifle, adorned with gold dragon patterns, familiar to all the spectators.
"As expected..."
"He's going to use the Dragon Sniper. Since he can't use skills, starting with long-range attacks is the safest bet."
The audience wasn't surprised at the sight of the Dragon Sniper.
They had long familiarized themselves with the non-specialist's weapon system.
The longsword that could cut through steel like mud.
The battle halberd that could break cities and mountains.
The Dragon Sniper, with both sniper and dual-gun forms.
The bow that unleashed a rain of arrows.
The fiery red staff.
The dagger that moved like a shadow.
These were all weapon forms this non-specialist had displayed in the tournament.
So, by now, the audience had a good idea of what weapon he'd use at any given moment.
Some spectators even arrogantly critiqued Ling Zhan from a god-like perspective, saying he shouldn't have chosen certain weapons at particular moments.
Now.
As Ling Zhan pulled out the familiar Dragon Sniper, the two imperial princesses only looked serious, not desperate.
"Without the boost of skills, even the Dragon Sniper's bullet damage won't be unstoppable!"
"We can move in!"
As Princess Saint Luni's cold words fell!
Swoosh!!
Her sister, Saint Lucy, left behind an afterimage as her real body charged forward like a cannonball!
Princess Saint Luni's four wings gently fluttered as she followed behind.
Simultaneously, she waved her staff in her left hand...
Hum!!
A white field spread out, enveloping her sister as she charged forward!
'Holy Light Domain'!
The domain skill of the Holy Spirit Hierophant!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
As soon as the 'Holy Light Domain' formed, countless white beams of light shot into the sky, turning into a rain of light that fell toward the non-specialist!
Bang!!
At this moment, three hundred meters away, the non-specialist pulled the trigger!
In a deafening boom, the end of the Dragon Sniper's barrel burst with smoke as a high-caliber bullet with terrifying penetration flew out!
It's worth mentioning...
Even without any active skills or talents.
The terrifying recoil of the Dragon Sniper still didn't cause Ling Zhan's body to tremble, and his arm holding the rifle didn't move an inch.
His body, honed to perfection by the Breaking World Elixir, absorbed the recoil effortlessly.
For Princess Saint Lucy, who had already charged forward...
The moment the bullet from the Dragon Sniper was released, she felt a deathly gaze lock onto her, sending a chill down her spine.
As if the Grim Reaper was staring at her, she was filled with dread.
But the more she felt this, the more excited she became!
So strong!!
This man is truly strong!!
Even without the use of any active skills or talents, he still gave her an overwhelming sense of pressure!
The suffocating feeling of despair, as if a hand was gripping her throat, was something no opponent of her generation had ever made her feel!
"Kill!!"
Saint Lucy's voice came out in a low growl, like that of a beast!
At this moment, she was on the verge of madness!
Swoosh!!
And the high-caliber bullet finally arrived in front of her!
Swish!
Just as the bullet was twenty centimeters from her head...
She slashed upward with her sword!
Under the tense gaze of the audience, the Dragon Sniper's high-caliber bullet didn't inflict its usual devastating damage but was instead easily cut in half by Princess Saint Lucy!
As expected!
Without the added effects of skills, relying solely on the weapon's attributes, it was ineffective!
Bang!!
In the next moment.
The non-specialist, still unfazed, pulled the trigger again, firing a second shot!
"Hmph! You're not giving up yet, are you?"
"Don't you get it? These bullets are no longer effective against me!"
Saint Lucy sneered as she faced the incoming bullet, not even bothering to block with her sword this time!
Instead...
Clang!!
A crisp sound rang out.
To the audience's shock, Princess Saint Lucy caught the bullet in her teeth, stopping the second shot in the most dangerous and provocative way possible!
Wow!!
The crowd erupted!
But the non-specialist gave them no time to gasp.
Swoosh!!
His figure quickly retreated, increasing the distance!
Because Princess Saint Luni's Holy Light attack was descending overhead!
Even while retreating, he kept pulling the trigger!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
......
Thanks to the passive skill 'Quick Draw,' Ling Zhan could smoothly reload and fire the Dragon Sniper while rapidly retreating.
The series of gunshots was familiar to the audience.
But within those shots, the audience could almost hear the non-specialist's desperate struggle.
"Running!? Do you think you can escape?"
Saint Lucy, seeing the non-specialist seemingly forced to retreat by her onslaught, had a crazed smile on her face!
Thrilling!
So thrilling!
The thrill of chasing prey made her feel the ecstasy of being on the offensive.
She wanted to see fear and submission on that cold, handsome face!
Swoosh!!
'Phantom Step'!
With this displacement skill from the Sword Demon class, her speed increased once again!
One hundred meters!
Eighty meters!
Fifty meters!
The distance between the two figures, one fleeing and one chasing, continued to close!
Click!!
At this moment.
The non-specialist's expression remained calm, as he removed the Dragon Sniper's magazine!
