The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 993: TEAM YUNYUEʼS FIRST QUALIFYING MATChapter (II)

TEAM Valorʼs strategy was very simple. Two of their teams would scout the village to search for the location of the bandit leader, while the other three would try to capture the watchtowers.

In the battle arena version of Arcadia Cup, there would be a crystal in each area that had to be captured. Taking this crystal would mean that the team had captured the area. This was to prevent the opposing team from capturing the area back. Doing this would also prevent a prolong match.

But capturing these areas was not really the most important goal in a battle arena match like this. It was to complete the task that would give them the most points and end the game. Which, in this case, was defeating the bandit leader. But since they couldnʼt just go around the village without a proper destination, itʼs better to split up and have one group look for the bandit leaderʼs location.

They picked the two who were the best in tracking, and the rest of them went to capture the watchtowers. The moment their teammates found the bandit leader, they would teleport to their location immediately.

The captain of team Valor was in the group that would capture one of the watchtowers. Honestly speaking, despite the encouragement he gave his team, he was feeling pretty nervous himself.

Even if people say that team Yunyue were now nothing but ʼfallen championsʼ, one couldnʼt neglect the fact that three of their current members were still miles stronger individually that any member of team Valor. If the other team couldnʼt win by strategy, they might as well win by force.

Thatʼs why he wanted to finish things quickly by finding the bandit leader and defeating them.

He and his two other team members were on their way to the watchtower located in the West part of the village, which was the closest one to their initial location. As they made their way there, they encountered a lot of bandits. Which they easily took care of.

Arriving at the watchtower, there were more bandits than expected. Not only that, there was a slightly bigger bandit standing in the middle. The other was most likely the guardian guarding the watchtower.

”Captain, go on ahead and look for the crystal. Weʼll hold back the bandits here.”

”Thatʼs right, Captain.”

His two team mates said.

The Captain also had the same idea, so he readily agreed. ”Be careful of any surprise attacks.”

Although the three of them agreed to that, the Captain felt that itʼs still his responsibility to at least open up the way so his teammates could attack more easily.

He rushed out from where they were hiding and quickly drew his sword. He used a skill that produced a huge horizontal slash. The moment he did, some of the bandits were hit and the others were pushed back. That was enough time for his teammates to do follow up attacks and for him to jump to the watchtower.

But before he could, he felt a tight grip on his ankle. He looked down and saw that the bandit, with a much larger build than the rest, caught him as he jumped. He didnʼt hesitate and slashed down his sword. The moment the bandit let go of his ankle, he stepped on the otherʼs face and used that momentum to jump higher.

Just as he landed on the top platform of the watchtower, they heard a huge explosion from the east direction. As soon as that happened, an announcement appeared in front of him.

[Team Yunyue has captured the East watchtower!]

Before he could react to that sudden announcement, another one appeared right after.

[Team Yunyue has captured the South watchtower!]

”Does this even make sense?” he couldnʼt help but blurt out.

But being the captain of the game, he forced himself to calm down and instead began looking for the crystal. It didnʼt take long before he found it. Which was not hard, since it was just literally lying there.

The moment he picked it up, the same announcement appeared.

[Team Valor has captured the West watchtower!]

Before the captain of team Valor could celebrate this small win, he heard a thud from behind. He looked back and his eyes slightly widened when he saw a huge man with lion ears on top of his head.

White Marsh looked at him and then groaned after seeing the announcement. ”Shit. I was late. I will never hear the end of this.”

Seeing White Marsh here, and after hearing what he said, the captain already had an idea of how team Yunyue managed to capture two watchtowers almost at the same time. Because they all separated and most likely went to each watchtower to capture it.

After that realization, he felt amazed, and also, at the same time, ridiculous. It was amazing that team Yunyue had so much confidence in their individual skills to attempt something like this. And then, right after, he wondered if the other team just couldnʼt be bothered to think of a solid strategy and just decided to use ʼforceʼ.

His thoughts were cut off when he saw White Marsh brandishing his claws towards him. He dodged out of reflex. But as soon as he did, he felt his side being hit by the otherʼs leg, which he didnʼt even notice that he extended.

This kick pushed him off the watchtower. He flipped mid-air so he could land properly. But before his feet even reached the ground, the big lion was already about to attack him again.

The team Valorʼs captain gritted his teeth and then brandished his sword. He used a mid-air slash to push back White Marsh. But the other faced the attack head on and just punched through it.

The captain finally landed and was about to attack while White Marsh still hadnʼt reached him when another announcement appeared.𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕓.𝕔𝕠𝑚

[Team Yunyue has captured the North watchtower!]

The captain wanted to curse, but someone else did it before him.

”Shit,” White Marsh cursed loudly as he landed, then he looked at the captain with gleaming eyes. ”Youʼre the captain, right?”
