Heroes' Prison

Chapter 497 - 487 Just One Move

He didn’t pin his hopes on the fire attack at all, but on the demonic series attack. Even if Huang Yi activated his magic immunity skill, gaining immunity to his fire attack, he could not defend against his demonic series attack.

Although both demonic series and magic immunity contain the word "magic," their meanings are different. The "magic" in demonic series refers to The Seven Archdemons and the Demon Realm, also known as the Dark Attribute, while the "magic" in magic immunity refers to magic elements such as fire, ice, thunder, earth, and various other magic elements.

Huang Yi’s magic immune state couldn’t block his demonic series attack at all!

But in the next moment, T.N.T suddenly found that Huang Yi’s expression seemed unchanged, still as calm as before. Not only that, but he also saw an axe, its blade emitting a chilling light, piercing his eyes! It had nearly filled his entire field of vision by the time he spotted it, leaving him no time to dodge, being mercilessly cleaved by it!

T.N.T wasn’t nervous; his body of the Demon Clan was incredibly strong, and it wouldn’t be too difficult to endure this attack. This strength was the very reason he dared to engage in a life-for-life trade.

"Boom!" Almost simultaneously, Huang Yi’s axe came down in a heavy judgment, solidly chopping onto T.N.T’s body!

This was indeed a life-for-life tactic. Neither T.N.T nor Huang Yi could dodge each other’s attacks, only exchanging blows directly.

The next moment, T.N.T was sent flying!

Yet Huang Yi still stood in his original spot, motionless!

From Huang Yi’s charge to the exchange, it was all a matter of an instant. Many in the audience only saw Huang Yi collide with T.N.T before sending him flying. As for the process of the exchange, they didn’t catch it clearly; it happened too fast.

At this point, Huang Yi’s health points remained at 69%. T.N.T’s attack just now could have instakilled others, but Huang Yi possessed 64.5% demon resistance and 75% fire resistance. To T.N.T, he was like a turtle, and even with a life-for-life maneuver, T.N.T only managed to knock off a small fraction of his health points.

On the contrary, T.N.T was in a completely opposite situation. Huang Yi’s triple damage heavy judgment combined with the extra 30% from the critical damage rune inflicted massive attack power, reducing T.N.T to barely any health, leaving just a sliver of bare life, saved by a life-preserving talent kicking in.

"How could this be!" At this moment, T.N.T, who was mid-flight, was stunned. He had never anticipated this turn of events!

His demonic series attack should have reduced Huang Yi to a bare life state, but Huang Yi seemed perfectly fine, as if he had some ability to greatly resist demonic series attacks!

His body of the Demon Clan was supposed to withstand Huang Yi’s assault, but unexpectedly, it left him in a bare life state, as if Huang Yi had some ability to easily breach the defenses of his demonic body.

This unexpected twist completely disrupted all his plans, abruptly waking him from the dream of advancing to the semifinals!

It could be said that right from the opening move, he was totally bewildered!

"Net of Justice!" At that moment, Huang Yi, without any hesitation, stretched out his hand towards T.N.T, who was still in mid-air, and cast a light net, shooting it towards T.N.T!

After all, T.N.T was an expert who had made it to the final eight; although unexpectedly reduced to a bare life state, he quickly reacted. Just before Huang Yi’s Net of Justice landed, he immediately used forced teleportation to vanish in mid-air, reappearing at another location.

This was the first time Huang Yi had seen someone dodge his Net of Justice. Just this alone demonstrated T.N.T’s deserved strength.

At this time, Huang Yi’s abilities to scorch the earth and unleash a storm of thunder clouds, which dealt area damage, were still harming T.N.T. Even though the damage was negligible, for T.N.T in a bare life state, it was deadly enough!

Just then, Huang Yi, to the surprise of everyone watching, voluntarily canceled these two group attack abilities!

He had actually let T.N.T off the hook!

This abnormal scene caused a slight stir among the audience, with only a few quickly realizing and revealing an appearance of sudden understanding, guessing Huang Yi’s intention.

T.N.T guessed it too. He saw Huang Yi cancel the two major group attack abilities, and his face suddenly became extremely serious as if such a Huang Yi was even more threatening to him.

"Shadow Dance!" Huang Yi swiftly went invisible, disappearing into the air, quietly approaching T.N.T.

Suddenly, only T.N.T was left on the battlefield. The presence of Huang Yi’s vanished body brought an immense pressure of invisibility. The most frightening opponent is often the unseen one, and T.N.T was now facing precisely this situation.

Seeing this, T.N.T quickly raised his magic wand and waved it at the area where Huang Yi was, immediately unleashing a torrent of fire. Violently exploding upon impact, the shockwave spread in all directions, sweeping over everything. This skill had instant cast and its attack power wasn’t high; his sole purpose was to draw out Huang Yi, as invisibility skills typically reveal the user when hit.

However, Huang Yi didn’t reappear after this attack. His Shadow Dance would not reveal him whether he attacked or was attacked; only specific revealing skills or items could detect him.

T.N.T, unable to force Huang Yi’s reappearance, didn’t panic. He quickly took out a fist-sized gemstone from his storage ring.

This gem looked like an eye with a blue pupil in the middle, moving left and right, emitting a strange and penetrating light as if it were searching for the invisible enemy in the air.

This is a frequently used magic item called the True Sight Gem, similar to the Revealing Dust, which can expose invisible enemies. However, the Dust of Stealth is a consumable and a cheap item with a very short duration, while the True Sight Gem is very expensive and can be used repeatedly with a much longer duration.

Yet, after taking out the True Sight Gem, the surroundings were still empty, not a single person in sight; Huang Yi seemed to have truly disappeared into thin air.

Turns out, Huang Yi had just swiftly switched to another attached skill of the Legendary Cloak "Black Dragon’s Hide"—Absolute Invisibility. This invisibility skill could not be detected by ordinary revealing methods, and it could last for 5 minutes. As long as he didn’t launch an attack or get attacked, his figure would not be revealed.

If at this moment, T.N.T used another group attack skill, Huang Yi could be forced out. However, he didn’t anticipate that Huang Yi would switch to another type of stealth mode while invisible.

At this point, T.N.T’s expression finally became grave, his brows furrowed tightly into a "川" shape. He immediately shifted his thinking and also activated his own invisibility skill, disappearing into thin air!

His initial intent was to flush out Huang Yi, but now he could only seek to protect himself, using invisibility to counter invisibility.

This tactic was often used in assassin combat; when both enemy and ally turn invisible, neither could see the other, a life-saving trick in a disadvantageous situation.

With T.N.T’s disappearance, the audience suddenly witnessed a bizarre spectacle, the battlefield was empty, just like before the contestants had entered the arena.

The battlefield was utterly silent, lacking the flare of noisy skill radiance, no forces clashing with overwhelming power, not even a single silhouette visible, yet that sense of oppression felt even more tangible.

Nobody knew what earth-shattering change might occur in the air the next moment.

Gradually, ten seconds passed, and suddenly a figure materialized out of thin air—it was T.N.T!

His invisibility had ended first!

That moment, from the bottom of his heart, he sensed a trace of danger; he was down to a sliver of his bare life state, and even the slightest scrape could be the end of him.

T.N.T stood still, his blue eyes emitting a deep gaze, gripping the magic wand tightly in his hand, his palm sweating, his heartbeat thudding.

Since the start of the tournament, he had never felt as tense as he did now. He even contemplated dying on purpose to use his Resurrection Skill, to fight Huang Yi with full health and in top condition.

For some reason, he felt like Huang Yi was his natural nemesis. He had orchestrated two invasions of the Hero’s Continent by the Demon Clan before, but both were thwarted by a mysterious master. Especially last night, that dense army of the Demon Clan was routed by an Ancient Giant, not only failing to threaten the Hero’s Continent but also losing many Holy Domain Warriors. This also meant that the strengths of high-level players like Huang Yi, Sharp Sword, and Thunder God weren’t affected by the invasion like Heavenly Dao, Pope, Pharaoh, and Giant Bear were; they could fight him with their strongest power.

Seconds ticked by, and the air remained dead silent, the invisible pressure growing ever more intense.

"Disarm!" At that moment, Huang Yi suddenly appeared from the air right in front of T.N.T, almost instantaneously seizing his weapon and silencing him for 2 seconds.

No matter how quick T.N.T reacted, it wasn’t possible to be faster than Huang Yi, who had abruptly ended his invisibility—he was hit!

"Heavy Judgment!" Next, Huang Yi unleashed his strongest single-target attack!

At that very moment, Huang Yi gathered all his strength and concentration into that one strike!

His gaze followed the arc traced by the edge of the axe, and it was as though he could no longer hear any sound around him!

This strike was crucial for his advancement to the semifinals, for his prize pool of two trillion Gold Coins, and for his whole career in The Second World!

If this attack succeeded, then he would see a clear path ahead, advancing smoothly to the semifinals, and the final battle would no longer be a distant dream.

"Boom!" The next moment, T.N.T was struck directly, exploding into a rain of gore!

Huang Yi slowly retracted his axe, wiping the bloodstains from his face, finally letting out a sigh of relief. If his guess was correct, the System Prompt would ring out next.

The very next moment, indeed, a System Prompt resounded throughout the battlefield—

"[System Prompt]: God of Slaughter has won this battle, advancing to the semifinals."

Instantly, there was a slight pause throughout the audience, countless people struggling to comprehend!

From the beginning to this moment, Huang Yi had only attacked twice, yet with just these two strikes, T.N.T, the biggest dark horse of the tournament, was directly defeated!
