While the whole player base seemed to be shocked at this ridiculous format for the tournament, Liam simply smiled and walked over to the arena stage once again.
He did not look troubled in the least. It was almost as if he had expected this.
Luna as well strutted over to arrive next to him, though the little fox looked troubled and anxious. She had her own problems. She was constantly checking Liam every now and then for signs of the small furry creature.
After these two got onto the stage, the other party also shortly arrived. Not so surprisingly, this one was a player from the Golden Knights as well and walked in with a green-colored drake.
In all honesty, Liam had expected the guy to rage and declare vengeful statements, but the person in front of him was not that hasty. He seemed to be very cautious of Liam.
Even when his gaze fell on the bracelet on his right hand that Liam was wearing, which only seconds before belonged to their teammate, the person did not mind at all. He was more focused and was in deep thought, as if he was cooking up strategies to win this fight.
Liam was rather impressed. His opponent didn't look like an idiot. Maybe if they were on a leveled playing field, perhaps a match with this person might have been very interesting.
However, unfortunately, that was not the case. No matter how much these players struggled, they had a mountain to surmount.
GONG! The loud bell rang, and Liam and the other player found themselves teleported to a forest. Almost immediately, the other person made a move and disappeared into the bushes and the dense thickets.
"Hmmm? This is not a game of hide and seek?" Liam shrugged and looked at Luna. "Let's fly." He wanted a view of the battleground, and at the same time, he also wanted to… lure the player out.
While flying, Liam and Luna would be very vulnerable. No player would be willing to miss that. Even though this person was very cautious until now and hadn't even revealed what class he might be, he would also definitely take that shot.
"Fly lower," Liam whispered as he jumped onto the fox. Immediately, the two of them rose into the sky. The moment he did that, the battle ensued.
Liam spotted the drake and its owner at a distance, and simultaneously they spotted him as well. "There, Luna!" Liam shouted, and the fox sped over to the spot like a bullet.
The other person also did not remain idle. "Attack!" He shouted, and the drake next to him roared loudly.
The drake had a higher health than the player, so he tactically used it to block any attack Liam had planned. After having seen the tornado skill, he was already prepared for it.
While the drake acted as the tank, he did not remain idle and quickly started going on the offensive, finally revealing his class.
The plants and the trees from the surroundings thrummed alive as several tendrils shot up to Luna and Liam. These were sharp, razor-like, and dripping with venom.
Before the fox could land, the person was determined to take out Liam.
He did not simply stop with the tendrils, he also started casting what looked like a different version of earth spikes where the spikes uprooted from the ground and came at Liam.
Suddenly Liam and Luna found themselves in the middle of a death trap, attacks coming in from all directions. It looked almost impossible to evade.
However, the next second, the duo disappeared from this death trap. The fox and the person sitting atop it started dropping from the sky, free falling down.
But after a moment, only the fox was visible. Liam was no longer visible. Shocked by this, the person looked up to see Liam leaping toward him like a cheetah on tree tops.
He had incredible agility as he rushed toward the two of them. In fact, he was using some of the attacks as footing and moved.
When compared to the unstable spikes they had experienced earlier in the group fight of this same tournament, this was nothing.
But how could someone adapt so quickly and learn something just from a few minutes of experience? It was completely unbelievable, and yet Liam was doing exactly that.
The drake roared loudly as a thick aura surrounded its body, and the beast strengthened itself, but Liam was faster.
He tossed a [Sizzling Tornado] to the drake that was thirsty for a fight and leaped around it to fight the main opponent.
"You know… That's not the only attack I have." He conjured a huge fireball and slammed it down onto the opponent's body.
Boom!
-1000
An unbelievable damage number popped out. How could a fireball do such big damage? This was completely insane. The opponent was speechless as he stared at Liam like he was a monster.
"Just give up. It's useless to fight against me now." Liam did not give the man any chance to react and slammed a couple more of the fireballs.
With the lightning bolts popping out behind him and the fireballs he was conjuring, the entire forest was ablaze with fireworks.
All everyone could see were these bright flashes of fire before the gong sounded loud, and the two contestants were teleported back to the stage, one dead and one alive.
The second match was also over just like that!
It had taken slightly longer than the first match, but that was only because the battleground was a forest. Otherwise, this fight would have also taken exactly 5 seconds.
Just what was happening in this PVP tournament?
Everyone had complained earlier about the unfair rules of the tournament where players were kicked out just after a single loss and some weird mount race being the penultimate round, but now…
They could already see the person who would be winning this. The sheer disparity in strength. Why were they even upset in the first place? It was not like anyone else had any chance to begin with.
This tournament was already in the bag for Crimson Abyss.
Crimson Abyss was strong! It's big boss, the hidden ranker was even stronger!
This was without a doubt proved in front of everyone.
While the few players standing outside the PVP tower rejoiced in their good fortune and the other players lamented their stupidity, Liam walked over to pick up the loot that had dropped this time around.
The fox beside him had perked up, expecting the rabbit to make another appearance, but nothing like that happened.
Only Liam walked over and picked up the chest armor that had dropped.
He casually got down from the stage and was just about to take his seat once again when unexpectedly, another gong sounded, and this time it was sooner than the last round.
<Ding. Player 3 and Player 10 are requested to come to the arena stage>
