Chapter 459 - Clever Display of the Kick Skill

Nie Yan had a deep influence on this group of players. In every war Asskickers United fought in so far, no matter how desperate or hopeless things seemed to get, he always stood up to the test and never showed any sign of wavering. This inevitably rubbed off on the entire guild.

Asskickers United was forged through the flames of war!

Smoke Stub and the others had picked up a thing or two from Nie Yan, and that was the willingness to stake their life and risk everything.

“It would’ve been better to have Stone Splitter come. You’re still a bit too wet behind the ears,” Smoke Stub said derisively. Stone Splitter was an Orc Warrior who gained overnight fame throughout the Satreen Empire after slaughtering a group of 30 elites all by himself. He was later personally recruited into Angel Corps by Soaring Angel and quickly rose to the top of their ranks. As for Mad God, he was a bit lacking.

Mad God might have the advantage over Smoke Stub in terms of gear quality, but that alone didn’t determine victory. Skill, awareness, and resolve were just as important in PvP!

“Hmph! Let’s fight and find out!” Mad God charged toward Smoke Stub with his greatsword raised.

「Klang!」Sparks flew as the two greatswords clashed. Smoke Stub was pushed back several steps.

Mad God rained down a torrent of blows, unleashing a multitude of skills in quick succession.

The two were locked in a heated melee.

Smoke Stub’s defense was rock solid. He calmly met every blow head-on and never wasted his skills unnecessarily. Before long, he found an opening. As Mad God went for a wide cleaving slash, he avoided it with an exquisite sidestep and retaliated with a stab toward the chest.

Mad God wanted to continue his offensive, but hurriedly pulled back and parried with his greatsword.

As though he expected this, Smoke Stub followed up with a leg sweep.

Mad God suddenly felt something hook onto his retreating foot. He quickly activated Defense Stance to regain his balance.

Although Smoke Stub failed to trip Mad God, he did make him lose his momentum as well as waste his skills.

Charge!

Smoke Stub rushed forward and slashed down on Mad God with his greatsword. The positions of the two sides were instantly reversed.

This exchange only lasted a few seconds. Those in the crowd with even a little bit of eyesight let out cries of admiration. Mad God liked to suppress his opponents with overwhelming strength, building up his momentum with all sorts of flashy skills before going in for the kill. On the other hand, Smoke Stub was shrewd and ruthless, preferring to save his skills whenever possible. He would lure the opponent into a false sense of security before striking out with a flawlessly timed attack.

Mad God could easily dominate a weaker opponent. However, since they were more or less evenly matched, he couldn’t break past Smoke Stub’s superior defense.

Mad God was frustrated none of his attacks got through. After losing his momentum and being forced on the back foot, Smoke Stub’s offensive left him feeling helpless. If worse came to worst, he would have to use those powerful skills he had been saving up.

“Seems like Smoke Stub has the upper hand… ”

“He always attacks at the perfect time. It’s like watching art! Now this is a Warrior! Knowing when to advance and when to retreat, balancing offense and defense, not like Mad God who only knows how to blindly swing his sword!”

...

The crowd quietly chatted among each other, when a loud roar suddenly shook the square. Mad God’s muscles fiercely bulged out as he grew several times in size. His skin transformed from a greenish hue to the colour of stone, his eyes turning bloodshot.

This was the Berserk Transformation of an Orc Warrior!

Seeing Mad God’s transformation, Smoke Stub also let out a roar and activated Barbarian Strength.

「Boom!」It was as if two titans were clashing. The fighting on the stage grew fiercer and fiercer. The spectators couldn’t help but back away in fear. The brutal all-out brawl and tyrannical display of strength shook their hearts to the core. Now this was a true battle between Warriors!

“Damn! That Mad God is no joke! A berserk Orc Warrior is terrifying!”

“Smoke Stub’s Barbarian Strength is strong too! It must at least be at Rank 3!”

...

“Mad God isn’t bad, but it looks like Smoke Stub has already won,” Bladelight declared to the shock of the crowd. Right now it didn’t look like either side had the upper hand.

“How are you so sure?” Lustboy curiously asked. He held Bladelight in high regard. After all, it was thanks to his guidance that he had gone from an ordinary expert to a top expert. Bladelight’s level of insight wasn’t something ordinary players could hope to achieve.

“You’ll see.” Bladelight smiled, not bothering to explain further.

Lustboy looked a bit doubtful as he shifted his attention back to the fight. Suddenly, a huge change occurred on the stage.
