The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 1026  BEFORE THE MATCH

BEFORE team Yunyue could react to that, two notifications appeared in front of them one after another.

[Your team will defend the against the opposing team.]

[Two ways to win: (1) Successfully defend the for 20 minutes or (2) put the on its rightful place. If you chose the second one, the match will end the moment you put the relic into the heart of the Tundra.]

After that two notifications disappeared, a rose-shaped crystal appeared in front of them. Inside that was something red, moving, and beating, like a real heart.

”I take it, thatʼs the [Cryoheart] thing,” Luo Jin said in a dry voice.

”Isnʼt the team defending this thing at a disadvantage here?” Bai Ze complained. ”I mean, the attacking team only has to destroy the relic and voila, they win. While, us, on the other hand, have to resist 20 minutes to win.”

Luo Yan couldnʼt agree more on that. No matter how one looked at it, the team doing the defending was the one at a disadvantage here. Just like what Bai Ze said, the other team only had to destroy the relic and it would be over. No need to wait out 20 minutes. Aside from that, thereʼs also no relic holding them back, so they could attack full force.

It seemed that everything was against their favor. Maybe thatʼs why the game system gave that second option.

”Thatʼs not the only way to win. Remember the second option?” he said.

”Yes, put the relic in its rightful place. Which the game system didnʼt exactly tell us where,” Bai Ze said.

”Are you blind? The system clearly said itʼs in the heart of the Tundra,” Su Yuqi said, looking at Bai Ze as if heʼs stupid.

”Of course, I saw it as well. But do you want us to spend our time looking for some metaphorical location?” Bai Ze argued back.

”Stop,” Shen Ji Yun said before the two get into another bickering round. ”If the system said itʼs in the heart of the Tundra, it must be in the center. So now, we should consider whether we should do option 1 or option 2. What will it be?”

----------

While team Yunyue was having a meeting, team Sanguis was also doing the same.

”Weʼre the one doing the siege. Luck was already on our side. So, letʼs not waste that by doing whatever we wanted. Okay?” Qin Rushi reminded her team mates.

”Are we finally going to fight Yunyue? Can I call dibs on White Marsh?” Tang Xun said excitedly. ”If I beat him, do you think I can take his ranking on the PvP list?”

Yin Jian chuckled. ”Well, you can try. Maybe your ranking will really go up.”

”You really think so?” Tang Xun asked, turning to Yin Jian with twinkling eyes.

Zhang Ya rolled her eyes. ”Kid, donʼt believe everything this snake says. Youʼre just pushing yourself into a trap if you do.”

”Hey, Xiao Ya, I canʼt believe thatʼs how you see me,” Yin Jian said, acting as if he was hurt by what the other said.

Tang Xun turned to Yin Jian. ”Brother Jian, did you just lie to me?”

Looking at the three who seemed to not even listen to what she said, Qin Rushi felt her temper rising up. But before she could blow up and go into a full-blown nagging and scolding mode, Xu Ru beat her to the punch.

”You three, stop.”

The three stop as soon as Xu Ru said that.

”I know we all love some good fun--”

”Not me,” Zhang Ya cut off.

”Yes, yes, not our dear Ya-er who only wants to sleep,” Xu Ru said in a patronizing tone. ”Anyway, you three listen to what Princess said. We all have our own ideas when it came to fighting in a team match. Ah Xun just fights in whatever way he wanted. Yin Jian likes to play with his opponents. Ya-er just wanted to quickly finish the fight. And our Princess wanted to play by the books.”

He looked at everyone before continuing;

”If this is just a normal match, I wonʼt get in the way and just let you guys do whatever you wanted. But weʼre up against Yunyue. Theyʼre not exactly your run-of-the-mill team. If we want to win, we not only have to use our brains but also do our best. And I really want to win this. I want to beat Yunyue. Surely, you also feel the same.”

”Yes!” Tang Xun quickly said, even raising his hand like a kid.

Yin Jian shrugged. ”I donʼt really care much, but if the Captain says so, as a member of the team, I donʼt mind doing my best.”

”Same,” Zhang Ya somehow agreed.

Qin Rushi shook her head. She couldnʼt believe that just a few words from Xu Ru would calm down these three and even make them do their best for this match. Well, this was probably the reason why heʼs the captain, despite his disposition.

”Then, letʼs not waste time and talk about strategies,” she said.

---------

As the two teams busily discussed their strategies, the comments in the live broadcast were abuzz with excitement.

[Itʼs finally here! Yunyue vs Sanguis! This is so exciting! I wonder who will win?]

[My bet is on Yunyue. The matches they had played so far showed just how great they were as a team. Team Sanguis, on the other hand, seemed to only like to play around.]

[I agree that team Sanguis is rarely serious, with the exception of Lilith. But imagine if they gave their all in a match? I bet they could even give team Celestia a run for their money.]

[Iʼm sure team Sanguis will take this match seriously. I mean, theyʼre up against team Yunyue. Fooling around will just lead to their defeat.]

[Team Sanguis will definitely not fool around. Did you hear what Alucard just say? He wanted to win this match.]

[Is this a prelude to a legendary fight?]

[Legendary is a bit... but I guess weʼll see a great match.]

-----------

And with that, the match finally started.
