Chapter 402 The Terrifying Female War God
"Isabella, what the heck is she doing?"
Jake and the rest of the audience were stunned.
Even Scarlet, who knew Isabella well, was taken aback.
Isabella had thrown her blue greatsword right at the start of the battle.
For any player, losing their main weapon was like a beast losing its teeth and claws. But Isabella had willingly discarded her primary weapon to attack the enemy...
Berserkers weren't a ranged class. Even if the thrown greatsword had some power, its attack was straightforward, slow, and lacked agility, making it easy for players to dodge.
Without her main weapon for defense and blocking, Isabella would have to rely solely on the Berserker's dodging abilities. Against a skilled Ranger like BlackArrow, Isabella could be easily defeated.
Scarlet had already lost the first match, putting Isabella on the edge of a cliff. This second match was crucial; if Isabella lost, there would be no hope left.
"Looks like Scarlet's loss has really shaken Isabella."
"Why can't Isabella keep her cool? She's being so impulsive."
Many of Isabella's supporters in the audience frowned, feeling regretful.
The battle hadn't even properly started, and it seemed it was already over. If Isabella lost, her team had no chance of winning. The only one with a slight chance was FierceSnake, but Jake's team still had SpiritSnake, FlyingSerpent, and another member whom even Jake respected greatly.
In the arena, BlackArrow noticed the blue greatsword flying towards him and smirked.
"Isabella, you're asking for it. Don't blame me."
BlackArrow adjusted his footwork, sidestepped, and bent his body slightly, achieving a martial arts-level dodge. The blue greatsword flew past him, missing by mere inches.
BlackArrow's face twisted into a sinister expression. He had always managed to make Isabella flee in panic. Even now, he wasn't entirely confident of victory, but Isabella foolishly thought he couldn't dodge the thrown greatsword. Without her main weapon, how could she defend against his Stormblade's rain of arrows?
Thinking this, BlackArrow drew his deep blue longbow, Azure Wing, and took out his prized Windpiercer Arrow, aiming at Isabella.
The Windpiercer Arrow had a 50% speed boost and a knockback effect upon hitting a player. Combined with the Azure Wing, which increased arrow speed by 15%, even agile Assassins found it hard to dodge, often resorting to blocking with their weapons.
BlackArrow had tested the Windpiercer Arrow with SpiritSnake before. Within a 20-yard range, even SpiritSnake, with his quick reflexes, couldn't dodge it and had to block with a dagger. How could a Berserker, without a weapon and not particularly agile, dodge it?
This was why BlackArrow was confident in defeating Isabella.
As BlackArrow aimed to shoot three Windpiercer Arrows at Isabella, she smiled.
"Watch how I take you down..."
Suddenly, BlackArrow felt a sharp pain in his back, his body flung forward, and his health dropped by 1342 points, nearly halving his life.
BlackArrow hit the ground, his mind blank.
What just happened?
Why was he the one hurt when he was attacking Isabella?
He also had a severe injury effect, reducing his movement and attack speed by 20% for six seconds.
And somehow, Isabella had her blue greatsword back in her hand, charging straight at him.
"Isn't that Death Throw? How did Isabella learn it, and at such a high level? It must be a skill from her weapon," Eric, experienced as he was, immediately recognized Isabella's skill.
Death Throw wasn't a Berserker skill but a special one, involving a two-stage attack.
Most people thought it was just a regular weapon throw, but Death Throw worked like a boomerang. Players often dodged the initial attack and immediately counterattacked, ignoring the returning second strike, which was faster and more powerful. Even at the lowest level, it caused severe injury, and at higher levels, it was deadly, catching many players off guard.
BlackArrow knew he was in trouble. Isabella was still over 10 yards away, so he quickly got up, planning to run and shoot Windpiercer Arrows to push her back.
But as soon as BlackArrow stood, he saw Isabella swing her sword, sending over ten blue wind blades his way.
With his reduced speed, dodging or blocking was difficult. He roared in frustration, trying to activate his survival skill, Back Leap, to jump back and dodge the attack.
"Why can't I use my skill?" BlackArrow realized Back Leap was unusable and screamed in panic as the blue wind blades closed in.
The wind blades pierced BlackArrow's body, each dealing over 300 points of damage, reducing his health to zero. He died, turning into stardust, leaving behind his deep blue longbow.
The winner of the second match: Isabella!
Jake and the elders of Devouring Serpents were stunned.
Isabella had defeated BlackArrow, the third division leader of Devouring Serpents, with just two moves. It was unbelievable.
"Is this her true strength?" Jake watched Isabella leave the arena, feeling like he was seeing her for the first time, his expression serious.
Luckily, the opponent was BlackArrow, the weakest of the five. If it had been someone else, Isabella might have had a chance to win the final victory and become the guild leader.
"Kai Blackthorn, Isabella is amazing. She took down such a strong opponent in just two moves," Violet Mistflow said happily.
"Indeed," Eric nodded, smiling faintly.
BlackArrow didn't know that the first-level Death Throw had an additional effect: magic suppression, preventing players from using skills for a short time. That's why it was called Death Throw.
Isabella's impressive victory boosted her team's morale significantly. They only needed to win two of the next three matches, and the overwhelming force put pressure on the opposing team.
As Scarlet and FierceSnake celebrated Isabella's easy win, the list for the third match was announced.
