Chapter 311: Truly, Don’t Misunderstand
The duelists quickly closed the distance between them.
They were serious, tense, and utterly focused.
Kailona held a bow in her left hand and a short sword in her right.
While Little Moon was just gripping a large stick—oh wait, that’s a staff.
Once they were close enough, Kailona took the initiative.
With a sword in one hand and her bow in the other, she fired.
One arrow, two arrows, three arrows—a triple shot!
In just a blink, she unleashed three arrows that formed a deadly triangle. Hard to dodge, they could only be endured.
Such exquisite skill really highlighted Kailona’s formidable strength.
Not only was her background impressive, but she was also incredibly diligent.
If she were on the Huaxia Server, she would easily be in the top forty of the leaderboard.
It’s crazy; even the highest-ranked players from other servers would find themselves somewhere in the 20s if they dared step into Huaxia.
Kailona’s seemingly leisurely attack was already astounding to other Rangers.
And this was just her feint—or forced maneuver.
This move was all about seizing the tempo, forcing her opponent to change strategies and walk straight into her trap, before unleashing an even fiercer assault.
Of course, if this initial strike landed directly, that would be juicier—talk about an advantage!
“Kailona strikes first with a swift assault while there’s still a gap between them. What a fantastic hit!”
“Now let’s see how Little Moon responds!”
“She can retaliate from afar too, being a Mage and all. This melee attack might be a bit tricky for her.”
“We see her… wait, she’s not choosing to retaliate from a distance! She’s charging right in! What’s she thinking?!”
Little Moon sprinted forward with a straight face.
Even Kailona frowned in confusion.
She didn’t understand her opponent’s move, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t be cautious.
By now, everyone knew that when facing an opponent from the Huaxia Server, there was a universally acknowledged skill to watch out for—Blink.
If you weren’t careful, they’d zip in and, without any countermeasures, a smooch of smooth basic attacks could turn you into an almost half-dead mess.
But, on the flip side, if you were prepared and anticipated it, an opponent consuming all their magic to Blink in just meant they were gifting you a free lunch.
So, the most likely move here was a Blink attack.
There had been instances where someone opened with a Blink, catching their opponent off guard, gaining the upper hand, then magically restoring some mana before finishing the job.
Kailona grew cautious and adopted a defensive stance.
Then she raised her hands, gripping her staff.
Charging up, she suddenly swiped.
Level 8 Great Gale!
With that swing, she scattered her attack and sent the arrows off course.
“Ah?”
“Eh?”
“Wait, what…?”
Everyone watched in dumbfounded silence as Little Moon continued her unrelenting charge.
“What skill was that! She’s reading a spell while running?!”
Kailona, too, was stunned. By the time she reacted, Little Moon was right in front of her.
Then…
Bang! Thud! Pow!
A flurry of punches that felt like a carnival of explosions.
The grand finale ended with an earth-shattering boom and an epic swing of her staff, sending Kailona soaring gracefully through the air before landing far outside the arena.
Host: …
Audience: Uh…
Kailona: (?﹏??)
This whole showdown lasted about ten seconds.
Little Moon wiped her forehead, took a breath, then frowned and shouted, “Host?”
“Ah? Oh! What an exhilarating battle! Haha.”
The host awkwardly chuckled, “But in the end, Little Moon takes the win! So, do you have anything to say after your victory?”
Little Moon coldly replied, “I’m in a hurry.”
“Uh…” the host faltered, recovering quickly, “What she means is she opted for a quick attack, believing that prolonging the fight could work against her.”
“We can see she clearly went all out from the start. Her opponent was too strong, leaving her no room to hold back, even if it meant seriously injuring Kailona…”
“I said!” Little Moon suddenly raised her voice, cutting off the host, “I! AM! IN! A! HURRY!”
The host blinked, meeting her icy gaze.
Consequently, he quickly and decisively declared, “Little Moon wins!”
With that, he dashed off.
Then, Little Moon took off too.
They vanished into the crowd.
The audience was left in shock.
What just happened?!
Weren’t we promised an epic showdown? Why did it wrap up so soon?
Not only did the battle end quickly, but the post-fight chat also got wrapped up in a flash.
So, the fun just fizzled out? There’s still plenty of time before the next scheduled match! What do we do now?
Ah, whatever, let’s go smack some creatures for a bit and then come back.
But some people noticed something peculiar.
They all gasped.
Sure, there’s talk about how fierce women can be in a fight, but nobody expected it to be like this! That was some serious firepower!
But it was understandable.
After all, this was a contest of legacies—an all-out brawl for the Wind God’s allegiance!
Looking at the results, one could conclude that the Wind God would remain with the Mage faction.
That summary wasn’t entirely off the mark.
Little Moon was in a rush and took a risk due to the Wind God.
That so-called reading-a-spell attack was just a full-force swing, maybe with a dash of wind magic power for flair.
Her mindset was to end the battle ASAP—win or lose.
Good thing she hit the jackpot.
Those three arrows, fired in haste, appeared ferocious but were actually a façade of strength.
And then…
Not committing fully to melee was equivalent to doing absolutely nothing when you were already in the fray—so just accept the beatdown already.
She admitted her blows might have been a tad too heavy, perhaps not considering Kailona’s dignity.
But hey, a little weight doesn’t hurt when someone’s chatting nonsense!
What’s this “Great Wind God” nonsense? My Little Yuliya might get the wrong idea!
While, sure, she wants to be recognized, she can’t just blurt that out!
If she’s gonna say something, it better be at the right moment.
But you babble nonsense haphazardly and make Little Yuliya think I’m plotting something—like I’m ready to take over or something—what’ll happen if I actually pull it off?!
Though, isn’t that a bit true…?
Ahem!
In any case! This needs to be straightened out!
Little Moon quickly messaged Yuliya.
“Sister! Let me explain! It’s not what you think! It’s all these players shouting nonsense; I never agreed!”
“You’ll always be my sister, my most respected big sister!”
After a moment, she finally got a simple reply back:
“Humph!”
