Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 122: Battle of Honor
With the cover of the Bone Dragon, I forcibly broke through the interception of the group of light players in front of me, temporarily avoiding the siege that the Supreme Honor was forming. The exhausted Taotao and the unforgivable Guben were sent back to the "Dead Soul Space" in time by me using the "Wartime Return" skill, and took the time to recuperate. After all, I am still in the Western Continent full of enemies, and I have not been able to escape from danger. Anything can happen. In order to avoid death at the hands of the light players and to be able to successfully complete this "Thousand Miles Alone" operation, the riding pet and the strongest subordinates that can be summoned must recover as soon as possible so that they can continue to be summoned to fight when necessary.
As for those seriously injured and dying Bone Dragons, I no longer have the energy to pay too much attention to their conditions and use "Wartime Return" to rescue them in time - in the melee, especially when outnumbered, I need to command dozens , and deal with possible attacks from all directions. I really can't spare much energy to take care of which individuals can no longer fight, and then ride Taotao to the ground and rescue them back to the "Dead Space" in time. In most cases, I can only let them die gloriously in battle, and strive to kill more enemies before disappearing.
The Bone Dragon stayed behind to intercept the pursuers, while Sama spewed out large clouds of blood mist everywhere, disrupting the vision of the surrounding light players. I quickly transformed into a bat, and under the cover of the blood mist, I flew close to the ground and tried my best to escape. As long as I could temporarily get rid of their pursuit, I could calmly use the "stealth" skill. Let them lose their target - the wilderness, the area is wide, even if I am not as professional as a real thief or assassin, and I don't get close to a certain distance. They can't even think of noticing my existence, there are too many opportunities and choices for me to get away. Of course, it would be best to be able to return to the Eastern Continent alive with the remaining power of this battle, so that Long Piaopiao will make the light players even more embarrassed when reporting the search.
I didn't consume much energy riding Taotao, so I could fly for a long time. I also tried my best to increase the distance between me and the pursuers by relying on the full interception of the Bone Dragon and Shaman. When all the undead subordinates except Shaman died in the battle, the light players would lose the sense of my existence. They could no longer judge my approximate location or even whether I was still online. I also sent Shaman, who was continuously spewing blood mist and exhausted his mental power, back to the "Dead Space", completely hiding all the links that could show my existence. I used "Stealth" and headed in the direction of the "Gate of Time and Space" in order to successfully escape from the Western Continent under the witness of Long Piaopiao's photo.
It is difficult to search for me in such a large abandoned land with only more than a thousand players, but they probably don't want to mobilize a large force to give others further reason to criticize me. It is not clear what measures I will take next. The Supreme Honor did not seem to mobilize more people to participate in the search for me. The imagined scene of scouts everywhere did not appear. The process was somewhat unexpectedly smooth. However, I was in a dangerous place. No matter what the other party was thinking, I must not be careless. In order to avoid possible interception by the light players, I deliberately made a circle and sneaked towards the "Gate of Time and Space" from another direction. Show up in the area where no one is sure, pay attention to saving physical strength, and have time to restore health and mental strength. Maintain a better state, perhaps the Supreme Honor may also guess my plan, make arrangements there in advance, and come to "send" me out. In fact, I was not worried that they would dispatch a large army to block the "Gate of Time and Space". Although that could prevent me from escaping the Western Continent, making such a big move for one person in the most frequently traveled area was equivalent to indirectly promoting my name, which had the same effect as my successful return. If I couldn't break in by force, I could just find a place to log off and see how long they could block it for.
When I got to the "Gate of Time and Space", everything was still normal. I didn't see any arrangement by the Light players to stop me from sneaking across. Did the Supreme Honor really give up the attempt to intercept me and let me return to the Zhaofang Continent so easily? The process was so smooth that I couldn't believe it. After confirming again that there were no large groups of Light players ambushing around, I showed up openly, summoned Shaman and Taotao, rode on Taotao and rushed to the "Gate of Time and Space". This was to facilitate Long Piaopiao who had been guarding nearby to take photos for publicity. With my ability of "Blood Bat Transformation", the obstruction of a few players, even if the three major artifact holders of Supreme Honor, Holy Heaven, and Olympia joined forces, it would be impossible to stop my breakthrough in such an open area.
"A-Dai, wait a minute to run away, do you have the courage to fight against my Holy Heaven alone? " Just as he was about to enter the safe zone around the "Gate of Time and Space", he suddenly heard a shout from behind.
Looking back, I saw the Holy Paradise coming out from behind several giant trees on the left. I walked a few steps forward and then stopped automatically. I didn't get too close. There was only the Light Spine Dragon accompanying me. I didn't summon any angels to descend, and there was no sign of other light players. I was alone and didn't seem to be plotting anything.
I ordered Shaman to take off and monitor the enemy situation. Anyway, we can reach the safe zone by rushing forward a few steps. Even if they mobilize thousands of troops, they can no longer threaten me. The "Thousand Miles Alone" operation has been successfully completed. I don't mind teasing them and appreciating their anger or annoyance. It can also provide more material for Long Piaopiao's report.
"First of all, I have to make it clear that I am not running away. It should be called 'retreating after success'. Please do not confuse me. As for the duel with you...it's not like we haven't fought before. Judging from the results, I don't need to worry about it. However, there are so many people coming and going here that it's easy to be disturbed. It's not conducive to giving full play to your abilities. It's not a suitable place for a challenge. If you are really interested, you can come with me to the Eastern Continent. I promise to have a fair duel with you."
Some people came running over from a distance. Among them were several top players such as Supreme Honor, Real Madrid, Angels on Earth, and Olympia. There were more than a dozen of them in total. They only summoned their pets and did not approach too close. They stopped far away, not intending to gather and attack. It seemed that they had planned it in advance. I don't know what purpose they had for waiting for me nearby. They also knew my strength. If they wanted to kill me, they would not send out only such a small number of people. It was close to the safe zone, so it would be difficult to succeed. Could it be that they really wanted to fight me one-on-one to try to save some face? However, before they showed hostility and took further action, it would be even more inconvenient for me to evacuate. Otherwise, I would weaken my momentum and appear to be scared by a dozen of them and flee in panic.
"The 'Gate of Time and Space' is right behind you. We have no intention of taking any action against you here, and you can leave at any time. However, if you are confident that you can have a decisive battle with Holy Heaven, I, as the Senate President, guarantee on behalf of the Senate of Light that you two will never be disturbed during the process, and as long as you win, you can also leave safely. There will be no interference from anyone and in any form. In addition, Long Piaopiao, a reporter from Tian Media, is nearby. If you are still worried, we can ask her to be a witness. This decisive battle will definitely be carried out in a fair manner."
The expression and tone of the Supreme Honor seemed very serious and solemn, which made me put away my joking heart and take the matter seriously. What are they doing? Are they really going to let Holy Heaven compete with me? Even if he has been promoted to the eighth-level silver-robed bishop and has the artifact "Angel Robe". He has the ability to summon the six-winged Seraphim to descend, but according to their rules, it has not been long since he was promoted. He is not pious enough, so it should be impossible to pray for the ninth-level upper-level Seraphim so quickly, right? They have already seen the power of the Bone Dragon. Even if Holy Heaven can summon the ninth-level middle-level Seraphim, it is impossible to win against me. Why do they all show a confident look, as if I will lose if I dare to challenge.
"Of course, if you don't dare to accept the challenge, you can just leave. We won't bother you any more. There's an old saying in China that victory and defeat are common in the military. We lost face this time, and it's an indisputable fact. There's a long way to go, and we'll get it back when we have the chance. If you're determined to leave, then go ahead. We'll see you later."
What do you mean I don't dare to fight? Am I such a coward? It's just that I don't want to cause trouble at this time when the great achievement is about to be completed. I have no interest in getting entangled with them. I have killed nearly 500 players by myself, which is enough to make a sensation in "World". Killing one more Saint Heaven will not add much prestige. Why bother?
I was planning my words and preparing to decline their proposal, but when I glanced casually, I suddenly found two players standing nearby. Judging from their attire, they looked like reporters from the "Sky Media" and were constantly taking photos. The blond Western reporter should not be a friend of our resistance alliance. Considering that Saint Heaven insisted on challenging me here, could it be that they had no better way to stop me from evacuating? They were bluffing, and they knew that I was not in the mood to fight, so they wanted to do something about it to save some face?
Thinking of the many hired gunmen who tend to favor the Church of Light, I can't help but feel a headache. Although they can't make something out of nothing and confuse right and wrong, they are good at taking advantage of the topic and extending countless possibilities. If I choose to retreat at this time, they might fabricate news such as "The Devil is lacking confidence and dare not fight the Holy Heaven" and spread it through the "Heavenly Media" to weaken the impact of this incident. This is their usual trick, but it must be prevented! Up to now, the "Thousand Miles Alone" operation can be said to have been very ideal. I really don't want to start with a bang but end with a whimper, leaving a result that is easy to cause controversy.
After thinking it over and over, I really couldn't figure out what kind of certainty of victory Sheng Tiantang had. Even if he had several powerful "pseudo-artifacts", as long as the time and scope of the decisive battle were not limited, I could play freely and try my best to dodge. He should not be able to do anything to me. In the end, he would definitely be defeated. Is it really a plan to scare me off with an "empty city plan"? Although Sheng Tiantang is one of the three holders of the artifact of light, his identity is only a capable assistant to the Supreme Honor. His status in the Senate of Light is still lower than that of Real Madrid and Hua Mantian. Anyway, 500 players have died at my hands, so I don't care if one more of him dies. If I don't fight back, they will have an excuse to counterattack. It's really a good method that doesn't require much investment!
Retreating without a fight would be seen as a sign of weakness, but I agreed to a decisive battle with Holy Heaven. I was a little unwilling to accept their manipulation like this, so since we have to play, let's play a big one.
I'm busy, so you shouldn't sit idle either. We both share the risk.
"Brother Tiantang and I have fought in the individual competition of the 'World Heroes Conference'. In comparison, I would rather have a decisive battle with the Supreme Senate President, who is known as the 'First Person of Light', but I don't know if Brother Rongyou has the confidence to fight me? It's icing on the cake. Ordinary small flowers are boring. If I want to add something, I'd rather add a big one. If I can publicly defeat the Supreme Honor, who is the Senate President of Light, it would be worth my hard work. If he doesn't dare to fight, then their plan will be broken, and not only will they no longer be able to use it to attack me, but it will further raise my reputation. I am ashamed to be called the 'First Person of Light', but I am grateful that you think highly of me and take the initiative to ask me to have a decisive battle. I naturally want to compete with the 'First Person of Darkness', the increasingly famous Devil Dai. In order to be fair, let's first invite Miss Long and several other reporters from the 'Sky Media' nearby to serve as witnesses to supervise the decisive battle."
It was a little unexpected. Without any hesitation or consultation with other companions, as if he had prepared in advance, Supreme Honor immediately agreed to my proposal and wanted to have a fair fight with me. I couldn't help but feel suspicious, but I couldn't think of anything wrong. Compared with the main artifact of Holy Heaven, the "Angel Robe", the "Holy Cross" won by Supreme Honor in the lottery is less powerful, even if he is a little stronger. With several pieces of equipment that increase the success rate of prayer, the possession is estimated to be at most a level nine intermediate seraph, as long as I have the opportunity to summon enough bone dragons. He will not escape the fate of defeat and death. What's wrong with them today? It seems that they are all rushing to fight me one-on-one. Isn't it too confident? Could it be that they are confused by my behavior, and in anger, they are desperate to fight me to the death to save a little influence?
Long Piaopiao and several other Western reporters from Tian Media were soon invited to witness the final battle between me and Supreme Honor. Now that things have come to this, I can no longer retreat. I had never expected that things would evolve into such a complicated situation. I would have to end this "Thousand Miles Alone" action with a final battle with Supreme Honor. However, no matter how I evaluate Supreme Honor's strength and means, I can't think of any way he can put me to death. Or will he come up with some rules to limit... my performance? But this is not the nature of the game, and he has no say.
"Are there any rules or restrictions for this decisive battle between you and me?" Out of caution, I'd better ask first to avoid causing any controversy later.
"The final battle will be between the two of us, and the rules should be decided by the two of us. I personally think that this is a life-and-death battle representing the two camps of light and darkness. It is different from the individual competition of the 'World Heroes Conference'. Everything is aimed at giving full play to one's own advantages and specialties and defeating the opponent as quickly as possible. There is no need to be restricted by any rules. I wonder if you have any objections, Ah Dai?"
Wouldn't it be more conducive to my performance without any rules? Why on earth was this happening? Could it be that the Supreme Honor was an undercover sent by the Resistance Alliance to the Church of Light, and that they wanted to take this opportunity to give me a victory for free and further boost my reputation? No normal player would put himself in a decisive battle where he had no advantage at all and even no hope of winning. How could he be so confident that he could defeat me, who had two artifacts and had just killed five hundred players in one fell swoop?
I shook my head and said, "I have no objection. Let's proceed according to your suggestion." Since he was so generous, I would not refuse and accepted it with a smile. Everything is for the purpose of victory, so I would not be polite to them .
"We are waiting here for you to tire yourself out. You have been fighting for more than ten hours to get here. We are having a fair fight. I don't want to take advantage of you. I will give you half an hour to recover before we officially start. What do you think?"
It seems that Supreme Honor is really going to be fair to the end. Even Long Piaopiao and the Western reporters beside him showed puzzled expressions. They obviously couldn't figure out what he was up to and why he would provide convenience for me, his opponent. However, I did suffer some losses, so I was naturally happy to accept his kindness. I strive for fairness, and this is not taking advantage of him.
Since several witnesses have been invited, there is no need to worry about them playing tricks behind the scenes. In order to avoid being disturbed, they moved to a slightly remote area nearby and prepared to use it as a battlefield. Just as he sat down to rest, he was suddenly attracted by a piece of equipment in the hands of the Supreme Honor that was obviously armor-like. It was not an ordinary piece of equipment. It emitted colorful divine light. It should be a divine weapon.
I couldn't help but rub my eyes and looked over carefully. Yes, the armor was indeed emitting colorful divine light. It was held by the highest honor. Could it be a new artifact of light?
