Chapter 776: Chapter 776 - Fast and Deadly
Leon stepped onto the stage, greeted by the roaring cheers of the audience. It was clear—today's crowd was even larger than the day before.
And yet, they all knew the match would likely end in seconds.
Then again, it made sense.
Each batch of matches featured multiple fights in rotation, and as the tournament progressed, more top-tier players were stepping into the arena. Naturally, that drew in even more fans eager to watch their favorites compete.
At the opposite end of the stage, his opponent ascended as well.
The host, as energetic as ever, took center stage and immediately hyped up the moment, his voice booming across the arena.
And just like that, the brief pre-match interview began.
Leon's least favorite part of the event.
Because, at this stage, every answer players gave fell into one of two categories—either they sounded overconfident, or they downplayed their opponent.
Was there really no other way to respond?
Well, at the very least, this was one of the few moments where Leon could afford to act a little arrogant—without actually looking too arrogant. Because, after all, everyone else was doing the same thing.
Stormbreaker was the first to respond when the host handed him the mic.
"I'm confident this will be an easy win. No doubt about it." His voice was steady, almost dismissive. "No need to talk—let's just settle this in the game."
He smirked slightly before continuing.
"Will my opponent rely on massive AOE magic? A strong single-target skill? Or maybe refined melee techniques?" He let the question hang for a moment. "Doesn't matter. I can handle them all."
The crowd erupted in cheers, fueling the already intense energy in the stadium.
And this... was exactly what Freya had warned Leon about earlier.
His opponent this time wasn't someone he could take lightly.
From what he had gathered, Stormbreaker's blessing was, he had a 100% critical hit rate. Which meant every attack he landed was guaranteed to be lethal.
A true Pride Champion blessing—completely overpowered.
On top of that, his class made him a nightmare to deal with. It was heavily influenced by the Shadow Element, granting him not only devastating attack power but also exceptional evasive abilities.
That was what made him so dangerous—he wasn't just about brute force, but also hard to hit.
Even worse?
According to Freya, Stormbreaker had a solution for every type of combat—whether it was melee or ranged.
He couldn't afford to recklessly use Golden Paragon.
That avatar had strict limitations, and if Broken couldn't maintain it long enough to defeat his opponent before it expired, he would be left at a major disadvantage.
On top of that, Golden Paragon came with a 48-hour cooldown—which meant using it without careful planning could cost him future matches in the tournament.
With more battles ahead, he needed to be strategic.
Broken steadied himself as Stormbreaker confidently gripped his sword.
A dark aura wrapped around Stormbreaker's body, a clear sign that he had activated his Shadow Element abilities.
A melee fighter with shadow-based skills and insane speed.
No—this was worse.
He fought like an assassin, but even deadlier. Because every single attack he landed was a 100% critical hit.
If this guy's sword had low crit rate but high base damage, then this was going to be a nightmare to deal with.
Stormbreaker rushed forward, his movement sharp and precise, closing the distance in an instant.
Broken tightened his grip on his spear, already having activated all his protective skills.
Time to test just how deadly this guy really was. Hopefully, he wouldn't be disappointed—a proper fight like this would actually be fun for once.
The moment Stormbreaker reached him, he swung his sword in a clean, calculated arc.
Broken reacted swiftly, blocking with his spear.
[Spear Guard (Conditional Passive Skill) Lv. 6 Activated]
Immediately, Stormbreaker was knocked backward, thrown off by his own attack.
Not bad.
But within a split second, he recovered.
Then, he vanished—no, not vanished. He moved too fast for the eye to follow.
Before Broken could fully track him, Stormbreaker circled around and launched a blindingly fast slash from behind.
Damn!
Broken felt it.
This guy was fast and deadly.
