Chapter 1033: YUNYUE VS SANGUIS (VII)

XU RU planned to stab the dagger straight at Noctis' heart. It's the fastest way to eliminate the other in just one blow. But just as the dagger was about to pierce Noctis' back, the other moved at the last second. Instead of the heart, the dagger only pressed on Noctis' shoulder blade.

Before Xu Ru could be surprised by that, he felt a sting on his abdomen. He instinctively looked down and saw one of Noctis' dagger stuck in his stomach. Its black blade was coated in red, like blood. He was sure it wasn't his blood.

The stab he felt wasn't too deep that his game avatar would gush out blood like a fountain. No, it was more likely that it was Noctis' blood. But why? He didn't have time to ponder over that because of what Noctis said next.

"Thank you for not betraying my expectation."

Then the other suddenly turned around and more blood splashed on Xu Ru.

[The target has enough blood sprayed on him. You can now drag him to the shadow world.]

The notification Luo Yan was waiting for finally appeared. It didn't matter that he was hit by a status ailment after being stabbed by Alucard's dagger. Because this match would be over before his HP even turned to zero.

As that notification appeared, Alucard was quickly pulled into the shadow world. This world would negate anything that the opponent would try to do. The other's skills were all useless here. But the time in which he could force an enemy to stay was limited. So, he should use the element of surprise to his advantage and finish Alucard right here and then.

That's why Luo Yan didn't wait after they entered the shadow world. He used one of his strongest melee skill and stab the other at the heart. Ensuring his victory.

Thankfully, because the other also suffered a status ailment from being stabbed by his dagger, Luo Yan's attack was successful. The moment the dagger stabbed into Alucard's chest, a sigh of relief almost escaped his mouth.

The expression on the vampire's face showed astonishment, as if he couldn't believe what was happening right now. "You... tricked me?"

Those were Alucard's last words before he started turning into light particles.

Well, it could be called a trick if one looked at it that way. Just like he told Alucard earlier, he was glad that the other acted within his expectations. All the actions he did earlier, he based it on the assumption that Alucard would not fall for it.

That the other would think that he was deliberately tricking him to go in the direction he kept on glancing. Tricking him into thinking that he hid the relic in that direction.

But since he's 'smart', he wouldn't fall for it and would realize that he was being 'tricked'. That indeed happened, and he ended up attacking him instead. So, all Luo Yan had to do was to act surprise that Alucard 'discovered' his plan and then execute his real plan after.

And then things just went according to plan. Thankfully.

He took a deep breath and came out of the shadow world. Then he walked in the direction where he kept on glancing earlier. That's right, he didn't really 'trick' Alucard earlier. The relic was really in this direction. He wondered how that vampire would react later once he found out. He shrugged. It's none of his business, though. Although Luo Jin and Su Yuqi would probably enjoy this.

As he came closer, the relic came into view. It seemed that the effect of the [Invisibility Cloak] had worn off. He crouched down and patted around the snowed ground. When he felt some fabric, he picked it up and put it back in his Items Tab. Then he picked up the relic and stood up.

He walked towards the altar. He glanced up to look at the timer above. Only eight minutes left. He crouched down once more and put the relic on the altar.

Luo Jin dodged the onslaught of arrows coming towards him. After he dodged, he pointed his guns at the flying harpy and shot at her, which she also dodged. He was really starting to get irritated by this.

It had been the same pattern since earlier. She would shoot, he would dodge, he would then shoot back, and she would also dodge. No matter which skill they both used, they both found a way to dodge it. It's getting tiring at this point. And he bet the other was also feeling the same.

Luo Jin was thinking of using another of his AoE skills when a pillar of light suddenly appeared from the direction of the center of the Tundra.

Bai Ze was sitting on the back of a beat up wolf beastkin while munching on a Mana fruit. This was something Rowan liked to eat. He didn't expect until now that this actually tasted good.

"Ah, White Marsh, sir, can you get off me?" the wolf beastkin asked.

"Nah, the view here is pretty comfortable," Bai Ze said. "Just wait until the match ended."

As soon as he said that, he saw the pillar of light from a distance.

Qin Rushi knelt down, her body was slowly turning into light particles. She looked at the cute pink pixie in front of her. "You really don't know how to hold back, do you?"

"That would be an insult to you, then," Su Yuqi said indifferently.

Qin Rushi chuckled before turning into light particles. And just right after that, a pillar of light appeared.

Shen Ji Yun was rushing towards the center of the tundra. As soon as he defeated the basilisk, that's the first thing he did. He's not worried that vampire would defeat Luo Yan, he was just worried that the bastard would flirt with Luo Yan. Which the other had done a couple of times already.

He swore, if that bastard even touched his rabbit in a wrong way...

Shen Ji Yun's steps paused when he saw the pillar of light up ahead. And then a couple of notifications appeared in front of him.

[Team Yunyue put the relic in its rightful place.]

[Team Yunyue wins!]
