Closed Beta That Only I Played-Chapter 465 - Battle (9)

In the Myongjin Shelter at that time.

“…”

“…”

“…”

Watching the fierce battle that shook the earth and the sky in a place not far away, no one in the Myongjin Shelter could do anything but simply breathe.

There were no words possible to describe the fierce battle between Juyoung Hong and the ruler of the 1st Royal District.

But those watching the battle realized that their fate would depend on the results of this battle.

In other words, Juyoung Hong’s defeat would be regarded as the defeat for the whole earth, while his victory would be the victory for the whole earth.

That’s why some of them were so nervous and tense that they bit their nails, while others were standing, trembling wildly.

Obviously, the fight looked very even right now, so it was too early to say Juyoung or his opponent was clearly winning.

But their arguing over it was controversial, given that Juyoung had emerged as the winner all the time in the past. Not only did he overcome any traps, but also hundreds, or hundreds of thousands of enemies together could not beat him. He was also brave enough to penetrate into numerous enemies without any fear, and defeated them all without any exception.

Because of that, the one-on-one match between Juyoung Hong and his strong opponent made them feel nervous and even worried a bit about the possible outcomes of the fight, for this was the first time that Juyoung was struggling to defeat his opponent so much.

Anyway, most of those, or more precisely, all those living in the Myongjin Shelter kept their fingers crossed that Juyoung could beat his enemy, even though they could not get out of the shelter to help him out because of so many restrictions such as the Land of Despair and the Energy of Despair. That was all they could do for him now.

At the place not far from the Myongjin Shelter.

“Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice!”

Pasasasasasak!

I laid out Ice Field and Multiple Thin Ice on the place where the Lava Hell had spread.

Obviously, I used those skills for a good reason.

I clearly saw the lava dragons that appeared above the lava hell. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

I was really bothered by them because each of my attacks didn’t inflict any big damage on them. Besides, they kept breathing out flames of fire at me.

So, I used Ice Field overlapped by Multiple Thin Ice.

Then, the lava dragons that appeared above the lava hell began to get frozen, cracked, then collapsed.

Even though I was pushed back by Lava Hell, it was also weakened while destroying my Ice Field backed by Multiple Thin Ice.

This time my Ice Field got the upper hand by completely freezing his Lava Hell.

Watching it, I shouted, “Blink!”

I immediately moved to the ice terrain.

It didn’t matter from where I attacked other opponents, but I had to use everything available to me to deal with my enemy standing before my eyes right now, including the slight increase in damage when I was on ice terrain.

“Ice Tornado! Frost Spear!”

I started off with the powerful skill attacks whose cooldown had just returned.

Wheeeeng!

Bang!

My attacks hit the target exactly. freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

But I couldn’t afford to be satisfied with it because my enemy would not sit idle.

[Pour, Lightning Storm!]

Bang! Bang!

[Death Shower!]

Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!

The enemy’s attacks not only did a lot of damage, but had a wide striking range compared to mine. Of course, I was confident of avoiding his attacks.

Unless he could launch an attack that could target the whole earth, there were inevitably clear limits to his attack as long as I was armed with Blink with zero cooldown.

In fact, I was more happy about using Blink in this manner than when I first obtained Blink with zero cooldown.

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

But I didn’t avoid his attacks because I had already avoided his attacks using Blink with zero cooldown several times.

But every time he attacked me, I found him looking at some place, namely, the Myongjin Shelter not far from here.

Of course, I was not foolish enough to make him think I was now defending the shelter.

For that would show my weakness.

Actually, I didn’t prevent the undead army summoned by him from passing by me and moving to the Myongjin Shelter.

No matter how numerous and powerful the undead army was, the roots surrounding Myongjin Shelter were powerful, and there were tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people right behind the roots who were not debuffed by the ‘Land of Despair’.

But my enemy seemed to have run out of patience due to my continued avoidance.

I also deliberately allowed his attack even when I could avoid it, so that I could continue to detain him here.

Watching me, the guy opened his mouth.

[Alright. That’s the way you should do it. To be honest, if you were going to avoid my attack again, I was thinking of changing my priorities.]

“I don’t know what the bullshit you are talking about. This is basically my fighting style. You must have heard a lot about it in Kuhana, right?”

I was serious. It was my fighting style to fight it out with my enemy until one of us died. Even if I allowed the enemy’s attacks from all directions, I suffered little damage, so I didn’t have to go on the rampage to deal with them.

But the problem was that the guy in front of me right now was the most powerful of all those I had confronted until now. So much so that I could not find any appropriate word to describe his supreme power.

Because of that, I noticed my health decreasing remarkably while fighting against him.

I was in more trouble now.

[You have got only 11 minutes and 35 seconds left until your limited skill ‘Savant’ expires.]

In other words, I would be greatly weakened after about 11 minutes.

So I changed my mind because it was me, not him, who had to keep going on the offensive without thinking about defending myself first. Besides, I didn’t have to avoid him when he was willing to play into my hands.

So I immediately resumed attacking.

“Pouring Hail! Ice Spear!”

Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!

Bang!

[Thunderbolt! Take him down! Lava Giant, strike him!]

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

Bang!

I did not dodge his attacks while endlessly attacking him.

He also kept attacking me for a while.

A little later a message rang.

[Your limited skill ‘Savant’ has expired. ]

This was the first time that I realized 11 minutes was so short.

While I kept thinking I had more time before Savant expired, the message rang all of a sudden.

As if nothing had happened, however, I continued to attack him because I was not in a position to tell him to resume fighting ten days later because my limited skill had expired.

To be honest, I didn’t even know if I could defeat him during the 30 minutes while my Savant was effective.

At that moment, the guy who allowed my attack abruptly stopped counterattacking, then opened his mouth, tilting his head slightly.

[What the heck? How come you have become so weak all of a sudden?]

“Ice Storm! Multiple Ice Arrows!”

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

It’s no wonder I became pretty weak because my intellect, which had reached as high as 330,000, had now decreased by half.

[Alright, I have figured it out! You must have had a hidden card, right? But it expired a little while ago. Lol.]
