Chapter 313: Chapter 313: First Blood
"Bang!"
The Flying Wing Sword, blazing with blue flames, struck the shield blocking its path.
A barrage of fire arrows landed on Kreya, whose golden Lion Armor instantly transformed into the newly acquired Anti-Demon Armor.
The arrows left black marks but otherwise had no effect.
Finished, the human female Mage felt her heart sink.
Just as Kreya was about to break through all her shields, she swung her Magic Staff, igniting a circle of fire and pushing it outward.
She only needed to hold on a little longer; her teammates were almost there.
A blue mass shot directly towards Kreya from a distance of over 10 meters, transforming mid-air into its upper half, with hands becoming blue spikes covered in magical glitter, aimed at Kreya.
A rainbow-colored Light Arrow struck the entity in mid-air at incredible speed.
The blue semi-human blob instantly transformed into a small rabbit amidst a dazzling array of colors and fell to the ground.
"Three seconds," Lilu’s voice transmitted through the Ruby pendant onto everyone’s ears.
This indicated the entity had some Magic Resistance; Lilu’s skill usually lasts 6 seconds for normal transformations.
But even this time was sufficient.
Kreya’s speed suddenly increased, transforming into a red stream of light, breaking through the Magic Shield, and bypassing the wall of flame, crashing toward the human female Priest maintaining a giant cross.
The Flying Wing Twin Swords in her hands struck the woman.
The giant cross shattered, and the woman disappeared, leaving only a tombstone engraved with her name and face.
This signaled she had left the field.
Meanwhile, a Catman appeared in the air from within a dark blob.
He emerged with a dagger in hand, aiming to stab Meizike from behind.
He planned a switch with Kane’s team for support roles.
However, Meizike suddenly opened a magical eye behind him, with two blue hands appearing beside the Catman Assassin’s hands, firmly grasping his attacking arms.
Meizike then turned around, his four arms bulging with muscle, and a blood-red aura emanated from his fists.
Two punches shattered the shield before the Catman Assassin, while the other punches pierced through his chest.
The Catman Assassin disappeared immediately, and a tombstone carved with a cat head fell from the sky.
A giant, colorful star fell onto the bouncing blue rabbit; just as it was about to hit, the rabbit’s transformation expired, reverting to a blue blob, which bounced aside to evade.
A transparent Crystal Long Spear stabbed directly into the center of the sticky mass.
This strike carried the effect of Death Gaze.
All attack damage turned into flames, erupting from the blob’s center, incinerating it completely.
An irregular sphere-shaped tombstone appeared in place.
The lion trying to assist its teammates was hooked back with a ghostly hook.
His hand was still bound by a chain, given temporarily to Longbei by Kreya.
The struggling human female Mage suddenly saw a blue hand pierce through her chest.
Then, a statue with a human woman’s face fell to the ground.
Countless strands of Spider Silk shot toward the lion crazily chopping at Longbei’s Golden Shield with a giant axe.
The silk bound his arms tightly, pulling them back.
Thin, colorful beams pierced through the lion’s chest, yet his life remained resilient against the silk.
Longbei’s shield transformed into a cone shape, with a protruding spike directly smashing deeper holes into the lion’s chest, knocking him to the ground.
Then, he smashed the lion’s head with his Giant Hammer.
A tombstone carved with a lion’s head fell in place.
At that moment, Kane and his team’s images appeared in the sky alongside the lion team’s.
The lion team’s five faces were crossed out by a red line and shattered, disappearing.
Meanwhile, Kane’s five faces moved to the center, dazzling with golden light.
They remained visible for 5 seconds before disappearing, indicating Kane’s team took the First Blood.
Becoming the First Kill team.
Thus, in less than 10 minutes, the lion team with apparent strength was utterly defeated by Kane’s team.
And Kane’s team had not suffered a single injury.
At this moment in the observing area.
Everyone was silently watching the screen.
"This Mist Warrior team is very strong; their coordination was extremely seamless, giving the impression they were even skillfully relaxed," someone commented.
"This lion team is just average, among the lower tier within all teams," someone else remarked.
Immediately, someone rebutted: "Well, this Mist team can at least be considered mid-tier, especially since they’ve just entered the Silver rank not long ago."
Many people around nodded in agreement.
Several reporters began drafting reports on Kane’s team’s battle.
Meanwhile, Burton was glancing sideways at the person who had doubted Kane’s team.
Feeling embarrassed, the person avoided Burton’s gaze and walked away.
It was indeed a moment of humiliation.
"Did you see that, Master Rob?" the young Mechanical Association representative asked the Mechanical Master beside him.
"Hmm," Rob nodded, contemplating with his hand on his chin.
"The team captain’s Mechanical Structure technique is at least advanced level, plus their Origin Skills can create machinery out of thin air, which is incredibly strong," the young man said excitedly.
Listening to him, Burton nodded in agreement: "Young man, you have good insight."
Unabashed, the young man acknowledged, saying, "Of course, without insight, I wouldn’t have been sent by the Mechanical Association to scout for talent."
Rob suddenly slapped the young man’s head: "What nonsense are you spouting here? Didn’t you beg me to bring you along?"
The young man looked incredulous, completely surprised that the Master would embarrass him like that publicly.
Avoiding Burton’s gaze, he left awkwardly.
Rob then returned to his seat and asked Burton, "Could you introduce me to the team captain later?"
"That’s not my decision to make; let’s wait until they clear the pass," Burton replied.
Rob nodded after hearing Burton’s words.
It seems he has confidence in this team, mentioning clearing the pass, Rob thought.
