Heroes' Prison

Chapter 545 - 532

"It is known that this match has drawn the attention of almost everyone from both the real and virtual worlds. Among the top five masters from China alone, three have arrived: Sharp Sword, Dragon Emperor, and Thunder God; in addition, there are two leading American players—the Pope and Kid, Russia’s top player Giant Bear, Egypt’s Guardian Pharaoh, this year’s biggest dark horse T.N.T, the pride of India Ganges, and the Brazilian miracle Ronald, among others. All the well-known super-first masters and leading players have basically arrived."

"Once, they all competed for this championship, but in the end, only those with the strength and luck to reach this point remain—God of Slaughter and Miyamoto Musashi. These super-first masters are more eager than us to see the contest between God of Slaughter and Miyamoto Musashi. They are a competitive group of people, and this top-level master’s circle is not one that can be entered casually. There are few matches that can catch their attention, and this is definitely one of the heaviest showdowns."

In the spectator stands, reporters were nervously providing pre-match commentary, and the audience waited anxiously. Meanwhile, in the battlefield, players from both teams were also making their tense preparations.

Just then, Huang Yi suddenly received a message. He didn’t distribute his business card widely, so there weren’t many people who could send him messages. Receiving a message at this time made him somewhat curious. He took a moment to open this message and read it—

"Good luck! I’m also watching you from the stands. —Dao Feng."

This was actually a message from Dao Feng; it had been a long time since he had retired and he hadn’t participated in any martial arts competitions. It was unclear where he had been and what he had been doing these past days.

Huang Yi couldn’t help but look around, but all he saw was a sea of players packed densely across his entire field of vision, making it as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack to locate Dao Feng.

But no matter what, he had gained the attention of a most weighty spectator.

"Go Team China!"

"Go Heroes’ Guild!"

"Go God of Slaughter!"

At this moment, the audience saw Huang Yi glance around the stands and thought he was paying tribute to them. All of the Chinese players suddenly erupted! Their cheering sounded like a tsunami, sweeping away everything in its path!

The Heroes’ Guild no longer just represented the Hero Guild itself, but the whole country, as countless Chinese players had pinned their high hopes on them. Looking around the spectator stands, numerous Chinese players were holding two flags in their hands—one was the national flag, and the other was the Slaying Flag of the Hero Guild! The character "Slay" was emblazoned on the faces, foreheads, and arms of countless people, with a fervor akin to watching the Football World Cup.

The Japanese players were equally passionate, vehemently cheering and rooting for Miyamoto Musashi’s Martial Arts Team. Each one of them looked more excited, as if a friend of theirs was battling!

The Heroes’ Guild was merely a team from the Hero Guild, with a bit more of a private nature, and only about a dozen people under Dugu Lengcang’s leadership were part of the foreign aid. On the other hand, the Martial Arts Team was truly on the scale of the Japanese National Team, including Heavenly Dao, Sakura, Black Warrior, Meiji, Ninja and other experts who had all temporarily joined, gathering the nation’s strength! Among the Japanese audience, it was possible that one or two representatives from their respective guilds were part of the Martial Arts Team’s lineup, representing their guild in this top-level competition!

This match could be said to be the Hero Guild against the entire country of Japan!

"There’s one last minute left of preparation time!" Just then, the system issued the final countdown, echoing throughout the venue, suddenly raising the noise level of the audience by a notch.

"Activate all buffs lasting over five minutes! Use all magic items!" Huang Yi and Miyamoto Musashi both issued a command to their respective teams.

Immediately, the field was filled with a dense radiance of skills, with countless buff skills being activated, boosting the strength of both teams by an entire level.

After such a huge increase, Huang Yi’s attributes soared! Among the most important—his Attack Power—had already broken through to 2300 Holy Domain Points!

At that moment, Huang Yi looked down at Xiao Chunzi next to him and bent down to whisper in her ear, "Sis, cast a Skill Copying on yourself, and another Returning Light, so you can resurrect in place later."

These two skills were part of Xiao Chunzi’s Nefalem Skill; one required consuming 15 points of the Power of the Nefalem and the other 10, nearly draining all the remaining Power of the Nefalem she had.

"Hm? Why use Skill Copying on myself? Don’t you need it?" Xiao Chunzi suddenly widened her eyes, asking curiously.

"Forgot? Last time we fought the Angel Legion under the archbishop’s command, my Skill Copying was useless, and it’s still on me!" Huang Yi patted Xiao Chunzi’s head as he spoke.

Last time they fought the Angel Legion under the archbishop, everyone had Demon Clan’s Blood of Holy Domain Rank, which made the battle easier. The Skill Copying that Xiao Chunzi had applied to Huang Yi wasn’t used and had been retained until now.

This move provided them a backup, allowing Huang Yi and Xiao Chunzi to each use Skill Copying once during this match, which were their two trump cards! When used at a critical moment, they could completely reverse the situation.

"Preparation time is over, let the competition officially begin!" Soon, at the system’s command, the final competition began!

The shouting of the audience reached its peak at this moment!

"End of the World!"

"Scorched Earth!"

"Storm of Thunder Clouds!"

"Judgment!"

Right off the bat, Huang Yi unleashed four signature, extremely wide-ranging attacks, the dazzling effects of the skills sweeping across two to three hundred meters, encompassing all members of the Martial Arts Team!

In the past, these wide-ranging group attacks weren’t very effective against top-level guilds like the Martial Arts Guild, but now Huang Yi had ascended to Holy Domain Rank and there was an insurmountable chasm between him and the rest of the Martial Arts Guild members. Huang Yi’s status level was a full tier above theirs! His Attributes could gain an additional doubling effect, while those of the Martial Arts Team had to be halved.

Besides, Huang Yi had another attribute bestowed by Godslayer—

For every Level Huang Yi surpassed an enemy, he gained 1% in All Attributes and the enemy lost 1% in Attributes; after surpassing the enemy by 30 Levels, Huang Yi’s attacks would ignore the enemy’s Defense Attributes, and any attacks from the enemy would be ineffective against him.

Now, at Level 120, Huang Yi far surpassed those players—with a terrifying Attribute Bonus. For players below Level 90, who were more than 30 Levels below him, Huang Yi’s damage would be unavoidable, and their attacks would be ineffective against him.

Even the strongest in the Martial Arts Team, Miyamoto Musashi, was 17 Levels below Huang Yi. When he faced Huang Yi, his Attributes would be reduced by 17%, and when Huang Yi faced him, Huang Yi’s Attributes would increase by an additional 17%, making a total of 34% difference in All Attributes. This was not just Attack Power, but all Attributes.

However, Miyamoto Musashi also had his advantages. His Martial Emperor Title came with a Status Level +1 attribute, which gave him an additional 20% increase in Attributes against Huang Yi, while Huang Yi’s All Attributes would decrease by 20% against him, resulting in a total of 40% difference in All Attributes.

When Huang Yi’s advantages clashed with those of Miyamoto Musashi, Musashi was still ahead by 6% in All Attributes!

Furthermore, within Miyamoto Musashi’s Martial Emperor Title was an important attribute that allowed him to increase his own All Attributes by 20% when facing a single enemy, lasting until the end of the battle. If only Huang Yi from Heroes’ Guild was left, Miyamoto Musashi would become even more terrifying, gaining an additional 20% in All Attributes.

Therefore, Huang Yi needed to ensure there were teammates alive on the field, so he couldn’t face Miyamoto Musashi alone. Moreover, this would make Huang Yi’s Exclusive Skill [Judgment] useless because once he used Judgment, which isolated outside influences, it would mean he was facing Miyamoto Musashi alone, and Musashi would gain 20% in All Attributes!

Currently, Huang Yi was overall weaker than Miyamoto Musashi.

As Huang Yi’s four wide-ranging attacks were deployed, the audience instantly watched the Martial Arts Team without blinking! Logically speaking, the Martial Arts Team should have been instakilled by Huang Yi, leaving only Miyamoto Musashi and some Knight Players who wouldn’t immediately die, and those with Life-saving Skills and Talents.

"Heavenly Dao, you sacrifice yourself!" Just at that moment, Miyamoto Musashi turned his head and spoke to Heavenly Dao. (To be continued.
