Chapter 1895 1895: Exile
Of course, it was reasonable for Rockabye to be intimidated by Spring Halo.
After just a few exchanges, one could clearly understand the opponent's attributes. Spring Halo's ability was simply terrifying.
Not to mention Rockabye; if anyone else saw Spring Halo's prowess, they would likely make the same choice as he did.
"I think if you keep fighting, there might still be a chance."
After getting off the stage, the Apostle of the Holy Hall said lightly, "His vaporization skill must have a time limit."
"I know!"
Hearing the Apostle's words, Rockabye nodded faintly and said, "But once he's done vaporizing, his other skills will have finished their cooldowns as well."
At this point, Rockabye glanced at Spring Halo with trepidation and said, "This guy has already seen through me. I couldn't kill him even when I was on the brink of death. I have no confidence in winning against him while he's at full strength. I never expected that apart from those three guys, the Crowd of Misfits Team would have such a terrifying expert."
"Not necessarily!"
The Apostle of the Holy Hall smiled and said, "If he were really as strong as you think, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed in the last match."
"This…"
Rockabye was momentarily taken aback by these words, and he quickly realized he had been fooled. He then awkwardly said, "Sorry…"
The Apostle of the Holy Hall continued to smile, "It's fine. After all, they didn't score any points against us. We still have a chance."
As soon as the Apostle finished speaking, two beams of light simultaneously came to a halt.
On the Holy Hall team, the player was Jeff, while the player representing the Crowd of Misfits Team was Wang Yu...
"It's over…"
Seeing that the opposing player was Wang Yu, despair showed on Rockabye's face. Drawing the short straw meant they clearly had no chance in the second match.
"Wow!"
When the audience saw Wang Yu selected for the second match, they erupted in shock and mourned the Holy Hall team's bad luck.
These guys had the appearance of Europeans, but deep down, they were all unlucky.
It would have been bad enough to be beaten so badly in the first match; now, halfway through the second match, they were facing the final boss of the Crowd of Misfits Team, the Iron Bull Demon King. What kind of luck was this?
Even the members of the Crowd of Misfits Team, as opponents, felt a sense of injustice for the Holy Hall team.
With over a dozen players in the Crowd of Misfits Team, they just happened to draw Wang Yu. This group of guys should have no complaints about losing; it was all arranged by fate, after all.
In a flash of light, Wang Yu and Jeff were transported to the arena.
Jeff had seen Wang Yu's abilities before. Thinking back to the scene in Twilight City, Jeff still felt a shadow hanging over him.
Facing off against Wang Yu, Jeff was practically cursing under his breath. How could a single person contend with such a freak?
The reason experts are experts is not only their immense strength but also their control over the battlefield and their estimation of both sides' strengths.
Although Jeff was taciturn, his combat IQ was exceedingly high, equal to Rockabye's, and he naturally understood the gap between himself and Wang Yu.
In the few seconds before the match began, Jeff had already devised the perfect combat plan for this round.
As the system countdown ended, the match began.
Wang Yu was a straightforward and brutish person; anything that could be solved with brute force was no big deal in his eyes.
Such matches wouldn't specify some so-called battle plan, as no matter how perfect a plan might be, it would be meaningless in the face of overwhelming strength.
Once the match started, without a word, Wang Yu jumped directly towards Jeff.
Jeff's eyes narrowed, and he immediately flashed back several meters, swinging his staff to draw a large circle in front of him.
Wang Yu's speed was incredibly fast, and in an instant, he was right in front of Jeff. Just as Wang Yu was about to kick Jeff's head, a massive portal appeared between them.
"???"
Wang Yu was momentarily taken aback; at that moment, it was too late to dodge, and he jumped straight into the circle.
…
Now, we have to talk about Wang Yu's evasion ability.
Throughout Wang Yu's combat career, unless it was a world-destroying forbidden spell or an attack from hundreds or thousands of people simultaneously, Wang Yu had rarely been hit by an opponent's attack.
The reason for Wang Yu's nearly abnormal evasion ability was entirely due to his almost-BUG-level sense of killing intent.
As long as someone locked onto Wang Yu with their gaze, he would definitely sense it, allowing him to prepare for evasion in advance.
With Wang Yu's reaction speed, if he was prepared, he could evade indefinitely.
However, Jeff's spatial portal was not an attack skill, and he hadn't locked onto Wang Yu when he used it. He was merely trying to protect himself with the portal, so under these circumstances, Wang Yu couldn't sense it in advance.
Unlike Jeff, Wang Yu didn't have a strong impression of him; after all, Wang Yu had killed countless experts and had never deliberately remembered anyone, so he didn't realize Jeff was drawing a portal.
From a distance, when Wang Yu saw Jeff swinging his staff, he thought the guy was just suffering from shoulder inflammation.
In this brief moment of oversight, Wang Yu fell into Jeff's trap.
After jumping into the portal, Wang Yu felt a flash before his eyes. When he regained his bearings, the surrounding forest was still there, but his familiar opponent was completely nowhere to be seen.
To maximize the distance from Wang Yu, Jeff had set the portal's distance to the maximum...
The Dark Forest was a very large map, and poor Wang Yu was directly transported to the edge of the Dark Forest.
…
Wang Yu only shortcoming was that he rarely went out alone, so he lacked a strong sense of direction. To put it simply, he was a bit directionally challenged.
Especially in a forest setting, looking at the endless expanse of dark forest ahead, Wang Yu was sweating cold bullets.
In this situation, having Wang Yu chase down a mage who could use spatial magic was indeed pushing things a bit.
Not to mention that Wang Yu couldn't even find his way out in this scenario; even if Wang Yu's Qing Gong skill allowed him to fly high above and survey the map, searching for someone in this vast dark forest would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Furthermore, what profession was Jeff? A space mage!
If Jeff wanted to escape, what good would flying do? No matter how fast he flew, he couldn't catch up to a spatial displacement.
For a moment, the match fell into a stalemate.
Truly a top-notch expert among experts, Jeff's combat IQ was indeed far superior to any opponents encountered before.
Facing an opponent like Wang Yu, who was virtually unbeatable, Jeff clearly chose to exile him and create distance.
