Chapter 251. shy de (3)
shy de’s special ability could only be activated when his health was below 30%, which wasn’t an attractive condition. However, it gave him an advantage the moment he learned it.
[Passive: One more de can be used.]
An additional de appeared. At that moment, a separate cooldown for sh was also applied. At Level 6, the cooldown for the sh skill was two seconds. Having two des meant the yer could sh once per second. Moreover, one could ce the swords in two different locations and sh to either.
shy de at Level 6 was apletely different champion with another ystyle.
Jecheon and Acorn Jelly''s faces turned pale.
‘Level 6?!’
Somehow, shy de at Level 6 had prated their base.
"Hey, his level—"
He tried to inform his teammates of the terrible situation, but it was already toote.
With a sh, Almond appeared behind him and perfectly shed—
A line of blood appeared on Jecheon’s neck.
[de Energy]
A blue me erupted and caused massive damage. Acorn Jelly bent forward and gasped for air, but it wasn’t over yet.
Almond rapidly spun and struck again. He was using shy de''s passive skill called Spinning Strike.
[Spinning Strike]
[Passive: Damage will increase by 12% when shing while spinning. May stack up to three times.]
A line of blood appeared again and caused even more damage this time.
[Damage increased by 12%]
Every time Almond spun and struck, the damage further increased.
[Damage increased by 24%]
On the third and final spin…
[Damage increased by 36%]
A huge chunk of Acorn Jelly''s health disappeared after the critical hit.
[AcornJelly]
[HP: 51%]
Even at thest moment ofnding, Almond stabbed him in the back and continued dealing damage.
[AcornJelly]
[HP: 33%]
This method of dealing damage urred every 0.1 seconds. By the time Almondnded, most of Acorn Jelly''s health had already been depleted.
Almond had perfectly used Spinning Strike. Acorn Jelly had no choice but to desperately swing his staff.
The staff urately struck Almond, but it sounded strange. He hadn’t hit Almond, but the de that Almond left behind.
"What?"
Almond had already disappeared.
[sh]
Acorn Jelly felt a chilling aura from behind.
''He never threw a de though?!''
Another sh swung across Acorn Jelly’s face of disbelief.
[AcornJelly]
[HP: 23%]
''Was it the one stabbed into my back?''
Almond had shed to the de he previously stuck in Acorn Jelly’s back to sh him again.
The flustered Acorn Jelly swung his staff behind and used his evasion skill. He thought he would die if he didn’t.
[Phantom Clone Technique]
[Will create multiple clones that cannot attack. These clones will disappear when attacked by the enemy. They can reflect a melee attack.]
Boom!
Instantly, several clones appeared to confuse the enemy. However, they were of no use.
[de Technique]
Almond activated his skill toward the de that he left behind.
sh!
The path of the de caught all the clones and destroyed them. The clones couldn’t do anything against the ranged attack.
Thud.
Almond swept away the clones and grasped his de again. He held two des and threw both at Acorn Jelly.
ng!
Acorn Jelly swung his staff and deflected one, but the other flew past his shoulder. It was deliberately thrown off target as a means of psychological warfare.
''Crazy fe.''
Now, Almond made him question which sword he would teleport to. The one Acorn Jelly deflected onto the ground or the one that flew past him?
Acorn Jelly was confused, but Almond quickly decided.
[sh]
Zoom!
Almond teleported to the de that had flown past Acorn Jelly''s shoulder and caught him off guard. Before Acorn Jelly could react, a de came hurling.
Thrust!
The de pierced Acorn Jelly''s back. Only then did he turn and swing his staff.
Whoosh!
However, he only struck air.
[sh]
Zip!
Almond already teleported to the de that Acorn Jelly deflected earlier.
Once again, Acorn Jelly exposed himself.
''It was hopeless from the start...!''
From the moment Almond threw the two des, Acorn Jelly would be outnked. It was the end now.
de Energy''s damage would be included after shly de gained distance and returned.
[de Energy]
re!
A blue me flickered from the de. Almond spun and cleaved Acorn Jelly in half.
sh!
He dealt the maximum damage possible with the bonus proportional to the enemy’s lost health and the spinning attack.
[Enemy Eliminated!]
[LazySoldier → AcornJelly]
Acorn Jelly copsed.
All this happened just a few seconds after Almond entered the fray.
"....Aaargh!" OrangeKing was still screaming.
***
OrangeKing expressed his opinion, "This is insane!"
He began speaking even faster.
"An incredible spinning strikebo with psychological warfare just now! So much has happened in an instant!
"What, what is happening? All I saw were shing lights and all this chaos!
"Was that really non-stop damage!? He engaged with a de strike, Spinning Strike, Spinning Strike, Spinning Strike, sh, and used a de art to destroy all the clones before shing again! Then another de strike! It was an endlessbo!"
OrangeKing passionately described the action as the viewers reacted.
— OrangeKing is out of breath lol
— A seconding of electromaic waves?!
— That was intense
— What did I just witness?
— I don''t even know why he died.
— Why did all the clones explode at once?
However, the action didn’t stop to wait for their reactions, and SweetRadish didn’t just idly stand by.
"Wait a minute! Is Takoyaki dead!?"
[Enemy Eliminated!]
[SweetRadish → Takoyaki]
SweetRadish had caught Takoyaki with the Beast and now pointed his sword at Almond.
"Almond! It''s a 2 vs. 1 situation! Will he fight!?"
The answer came in 0.1 seconds.
Swoosh!
Almond threw his des without hesitation. One flew straight and cut through the air. The other flew in an arc high above.
"He threw both of them!? More mind games!"
SweetRadish responded with Whirlwind.
Swoosh!
He unleashed Whirlwind and swept up Almond''s flying des.
‘Now''s my chance,’ SweetRadish thought.
“Attack!” SweetRadish instructed.
“Okay!”
The Beast charged, and SweetRadish cut his own palm using the wind.
[Activating blood contract]
Red droplets scattered, and a red text appeared:
[Ultimate Technique - Red Wind]
"It’s a summoning technique!"
"He''s Level 6 after killing Takoyaki!"
"This means he''s going for the kill!"
SweetRadish swung his enhanced sword, which was several timesrger than himself.
[Range has increased]
[Attack power has increased]
[Every third attack will lift the enemy]
[You can freely shape the wind sword]
[All attacks will prate the enemy]
His ultimate gave him additional options.
[Time Remaining: 00:10]
SweetRadish seized the opportunity and lightly swung his sword.
Swoosh!
Red Wind swept even the areas that were previously out of reach. Almond could have been swept away too.
[sh]
However, Almond vanished as expected.
''I knew you would do this.''
SweetRadish knew how to deal with the teleporting des. He knew where Almond would reappear next.
‘He''ll go to the one I knocked away earlier.’
SweetRadish swung his sword toward that location.
Swoosh!
Red Wind engulfed the area, but a powerful impact struck him from above.
Almond had suddenly appeared above him. The Spinning Strike took away nearly 20% of his health.
‘What…?''
SweetRadish tilted his head in confusion, but thementators watching saw it all.
“Almond first threw one de forward and the other up! The one he threw up finally fell back down!”
“He threw it extremely high to take advantage of the time dy for a feint!? As expected of a yer who mainly uses the bow!”
“Is this really someone who''s using shy de in a real match for the first time!?”
Indeed.
Almond had anticipated a counterattack and threw the other de high up in advance.
SweetRadish was too focused on the de flying toward him that he failed to notice the other one.
''It doesn''t matter.''
It was a cute trick, but it wouldn’t make much impact from SweetRadish''s point of view. He calmly turned around and deflected it with his red wind sword.
[sh]
Fizzle!
Almond disappeared as expected.
‘I really hit him this time.''
SweetRadish smiled.
This time, Almond could only sh to one ce due to the cooldown.
Craaack!
Red Wind finally swept Almond up.
“Ah! Almond finally got hit!”
“This sh was too predictable!”
[LazySoldier]
[HP: 80%]
In an instant, 20% of his health had disappeared.
''This is the third strike. It''s over.''
"Ah, he’s in the air!?"
Wind Sword''s ultimate skill lifted the opponent into the air.
[Status Effect: Lifted]
No skills could be used in this state.
The Beast and Wind Sword’sbo came into y here.
[Sky sh]
Wind Sword shed at Almond.
[Smash Down]
The Beast pinned Almond to the ground.
They called this a CC (crowd control)bo. It chained status affecting skills so the opponent could do nothing but die.
"Ah! He can''t do anything, can he!?"
"What''s the use of having sh when you''ll end up in CC! That''s why shy de is so difficult!"
Bang! Bang!
Almond''s health sharply declined due to the Beast and Wind Sword’s joint attack.
[LazySoldier]
[HP: 22%]
Due to their CCbo, Almond''s health suddenly dropped to 20%.
"Ah, thisbo is insane!"
[LazySoldier]
[HP: 12%]
Just as Wind Sword raised his sword for the final strike…
[Ultimate Skill - Tsunami]
Ssh!
A wave came from out of nowhere and washed them away.
Gurgle...!
Wind Sword and the Beast suddenly found themselves in the water.
"Ah! Miho finally arrived!"
It was Miho. She was ying as the supporter and was quite poor, so she arrived quitete with no shoe-rted items.
“Am I toote!?”
Almond picked himself up and responded, “No.”
The condition of having his health below 30% to use his ultimate skill had been met.
“Perfect timing.”
Swish!
He immediately drew his de across his hand.
[The contract sealed with blood has been recalled.]
Along with shy de’s voice, two strands of red mana surged up. Almond’s hair also turned white, and his eyes shed red.
[All enemies within 10 meters will be disarmed for 2 seconds.]
Flutter!
All surrounding weapons shivered, and shy de briefly controlled even the enemies'' weapons.
Additionally, two more des appeared.
[Two more des have been temporarily added.]
As if bestowed from heaven, two more des were summoned.
Now, Almond wielded four des. This was shy de''s ultimate.
[Ultimate Skill - One de Art]
It was One de Art.
Whoosh.
The four des aligned in front of Almond as if they had their own wills.
[Remaining Time]
[00:09]
For ten seconds, he could freely move the des.
His remaining health was at 12%. This was insufficient for some, but not Almond.
"Ah, what!? What''s going on!"
"Insane!"
The des meticulously tormented the Beast and Wind Sword.
They tried to counter, but it was as if they were swinging at nonexistent ghosts.
Soon afterward…
[LazySoldier! Double Kill!]
Both the Beast and Wind Sword almost simultaneously fell.
From that moment on, the game flipped in favor of Balloon Stars…
[Victory]
They ended up winning.
