Doomsday Roulette

“Sorry, brothers, I was delayed for a bit longer!”

As the people from Cloud Summit Villa began to prepare for battle, the second individual combat between the Radiant World Army and the Ogre Chain started.

Hong Bo made his entrance.

Although he wasn't from the Ogre Chain's main branch, he was the nominal leader this time. Since they decided to fight, he naturally had to give it his all.

The moment he appeared, the overwhelming aura of victory stunned the members of the Radiant World Army.

This was no sign of surrender!

Just moments ago, when they sent out a scapegoat in the first round, everyone thought the Ogre Chain had backed down and posed no threat to the Radiant World Army.

Some members of the Radiant World Army even planned to sit back and watch the fun from the zero commerce association.

But who could have imagined the sudden turn of events, with their opponent becoming unexpectedly aggressive.

At this moment, Cheng Tianji and Little Brother Jiu frowned; had they known this would happen, they would have sent Little Brother Jiu in. After all, as the leader of the branch, even though his strength hadn't evolved to six-star, his combat capability was top-notch. Cheng Tianji would need to exert considerable effort to defeat Little Brother Jiu.

The chosen deputy of the Radiant World Fifth Army was also taken aback for a moment but quickly revealed a cruel smile, his heart filled with boundless anger.

What? You think you can take advantage of me here? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?

Without any politeness, the leader known as Silver Plate from the Radiant World Fifth Army directly activated his profession—shadow knight!

A pair of phantom wings, adorned with black feathers, sprouted from his back, and those wings began to manifest hundreds of tiny black birds, lifelike and almost indistinguishable from real ones.

“You shouldn’t have come, and you definitely shouldn’t harbor any thoughts you shouldn’t.”

Silver Plate chuckled a couple of times, raising both hands, and those black birds suddenly began to chirp.

Hong Bo was immensely experienced in battle. The moment Silver Plate activated his profession, he pulled out a slender white-level cylinder. Seeing his opponent launch an attack, the cylinder flickered and transformed into a semi-circular shield, blocking the front of him.

This was quite a nice piece of defensive equipment.

“Useless!”

As soon as Silver Plate finished speaking, Hong Bo suddenly felt his body stiffen, horror flashing in his eyes. His opponent had somehow rendered his body motionless.

“Alluring melody?”

Ye Zhongming was taken aback, then recalled this person. In his previous life, some tales about him circulated; he was a formidable expert, yet he seemingly wasn’t part of the Radiant World Army in his past life.

In an instant, Ye Zhongming lost confidence in Hong Bo.

The shadow knight profession was extremely powerful; if Hong Bo couldn’t come up with any other means, he would likely lose.

Indeed, when Silver Plate utilized the alluring melody, Hong Bo stood frozen, and the second professional ability followed suit.

“Black death ray!”

After the tiny birds emitted strange sounds, each began to spew forth black beams of light that directly impacted the white-level shield.

The warriors of the Ogre Chain felt a jolt in their hearts, but soon relaxed; those seemingly eerie black rays were blocked.

The white-level defensive equipment was indeed impressive!

However, they didn’t get to celebrate for long before the rays suddenly changed direction, refracting off the shield and spreading outwards along its curve.

This protective shield didn’t offer full coverage, only blocking the front. The life-like rays swiftly bypassed whatever impeded their path.

Continuing toward their target.

Ye Zhongming shook his head; it seemed this battle was already settled. Next, he would observe how the zero commerce association performed.

He was well aware of the attack power of those black rays; the only way to counter them was with full-range defense or to drain their energy or directly attack the caster, but due to the presence of the alluring melody, attacking the spellcaster was nearly impossible.
