SEMI-FINAL 1ST ROUND: AMAZINGYOUNGMASTERJIN VS DRAGNAR (II)
THERE was a pause. As if the rink, no, the whole coliseum suddenly became silent. It was only for about 2-3 seconds, but it felt infinitely longer than that. Well, that was certainly the case for Luo Jin.
Then, after that pause, laughter filled the coliseum. Even Dragnar, who was still holding his previous pose of swinging a sword, let out a chortle. And then he immediately closed his mouth as if forcefully stopping himself from laughing. Which only made him look like he was constipated or something.
This made Luo Jin's whole face burn in embarrassment and anger. It's like the other was rubbing salt to his wound, mocking him for being short. Logically speaking, he knew that the last part was most likely just inside his head. But emotionally, he didn't give a shit whether it's just his imagination or not. Because he's too angry to comprehend that.
While Dragnar was still busy wondering if he should laugh or not, Luo Jin, who was still in that matrix-bending position, shot the other's knee. Because everything was too sudden, Dragnar had no way to dodge. He fell on one knee and Luo Jin took that opportunity to push himself upward using one hand and giving Dragnar a kick on the chin as he did so. He flipped mid-air and pointed his ice gun at his opponent.
Then, he used his skill [Iceberg Bullet] and pulled the trigger.
Xia Lei could feel that the situation right now was very dangerous. This was the result of him being too careless. But really, could anyone blame him?
When he swung his sword earlier, he didn't doubt that it would not reach the other. This young master gnome also thought so that's why he tried to dodge as best as he could, even bending backwards just so he wouldn't be slashed. But who would have thought that he would actually miscalculate the height of his swing?
The result was the two of them making a fool of themselves. Much more so for young master Jin who even did some complicated gymnastics only to notice at the end that it was not needed.
The other's expression
That's probably the reason why the other snapped.
And now, one of his knees was shot, his chin was kicked, and a bullet was coming to his direction. He didn't hesitate to unfurl his wings and flew up. As he did, he quickly took out a high-grade potion to heal himself. But before he could drink it, he saw the bullet that young master Jin just shot still following him.
He raised one of his brows. Was this a homing bullet just like that one that tried to hit him at the back earlier? He flew even higher and quickly drank the potion in his hand. But the bullet was still following him. He stopped and decided to just slice it up just like he did to that other bullet. So, he simply rushed towards it, his sword at the ready.
But the moment he was close enough to cut the bullet, it suddenly turned into a huge iceberg! He had seen this happen during the fight with Lovelee. He never thought that this iceberg would actually be much bigger up close.
He shook his head. This was not the time to be impressed by the size of this thing. Dodging was not an option. Because of its size, before he could go around or over it, he would already be hit. So, the best choice was to cut it.
He raised his sword and was just about to do that when something hit him on the back, making him stagger. Then he realized that he was not simply hit. Whatever hit him put a hole on his shoulder. That's when he noticed the bullet sized meteor falling from the sky.
He also remembered this. Young master Jin used it during the first round of the tournament.
Seeing as how these meteor bullets were raining down all over the rink and a huge iceberg was coming for him from the front, really, there's not much option left for him. A helpless smile appeared on his lips before he was surrounded by a golden smoke.
Then, a huge golden dragon covered the sky.
Xia Lei breathed fire towards the iceberg, completely melting it. While doing that, he flapped his wings, producing strong gales of wind to prevent the meteors to hit him. He was not worried that it would hit the audience since they would automatically be protected by a barrier.
Contrary to what a lot of people might think, he couldn't maintain this dragon form for an infinite period of time. Well, at least not at his current level. Right now, he could only maintain this form for about 15 minutes. Not sure if the same could be said with beastkins. But at least that's the case with Legendary cases.
That's why he was glad that when he fought with the kraken, other players also participated with the fight. It would be too embarrassing to suddenly transform back to his humanoid form while trying to bite off the kraken's head.
Anyway, since he had already transformed, he might as well finish this match in this form.
Luo Jin narrowed his eyes at the huge golden dragon flying above the rink. Seeing as how the other had been hit multiple times already by those meteor bullets and still remained flying like it's nothing, he already knew what kind of handicap this dragon put on him.
Dragnar then gazed down at the rink after melting the huge iceberg.. Then, the other opened its enormous maw and breathed down fire at the rink.
