Chapter 39 David VS Daniel
Daniel saw the situation and leaped into the air, jumping towards the cliff behind him.
There was a thin steel wire above the cliff, and he landed steadily on it.
Seeing this, David threw his shield.
The sharp-edged shield instantly cut the steel wire.
Daniel leaped again, taking advantage of the moment when David was unarmed and charged towards David.
David's expression changed slightly.
"Ice King!"
Alan acted without hesitation.
The Twisting String Arrow Technique instantly broke through the air, flying towards Daniel with immense force.
Daniel slapped away the arrow with one palm and grabbed David by the collar, slamming him to the ground.
[-3,958!]
Daniel's damage was as high as ever.
Even with a golden armor set, David was still inferior to Daniel.
However, to Alan's surprise, a huge damage number also appeared above Daniel's head.
[-2775!]
Reflect damage!
This reflect damage effect was truly terrifying!
Daniel was not surprised; green light continuously emanated from his body.
[+1000.]
[+1000.]
Similar to Alan's recovery skill, it could restore health.
This was getting interesting.
Daniel's auto-healing could restore 1,000 health points per second.
David, with his defensive gear, was in for a long fight.
But David didn't seem to want a prolonged battle.
The shield flew back, and he charged at Daniel again.
Daniel tried to distance himself, but David had already used his taunt skill.
Under the taunt, Daniel began to attack David with basic attacks involuntarily.
[-1598.]
Daniel's basic attack damage was still high.
Although there was reflect damage, Daniel's healing ability allowed him to handle it with ease.
David was clearly not that weak.
He struck Daniel with his shield.
[-5285.]
Alan was a bit surprised.
David's damage was quite impressive, even among combat classes.
After the taunt ended, Daniel's expression turned extremely cold.
But instead of retreating, he stepped forward and pressed his foot against the shield.
Then he leaped into the air, landing on top of David.
In the next instant, Daniel's palm gathered frost.
With a frost-covered palm, he struck David's head hard.
[-8299!]
A huge damage number appeared.
"Ice King, stop watching and make your move!"
David spun his shield upwards, forcing Daniel to dodge.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow broke through the air.
However, Alan's target was not Daniel but David!
David was hit by Alan's arrow and angrily shouted, "Ice King, what are you doing?"
Alan shrugged. "David, you can't blame me. Blame Daniel for offering too much."
This was just an excuse.
The real reason Alan attacked David was that he knew if Daniel died, with his life-stealing ability, it would still be hard to withstand David's level of reflect damage.The reflect damage was already around seventy percent.
And there was a chance David had hidden tricks.
So, Alan had to help Daniel kill David.
"Ice King, my reflect damage ability won't be much affected even if you help Daniel."
David was still trying to win over Alan.
But Alan's expression remained indifferent, and he had no intention of wasting words.
Arrows continuously broke through the air.
David's health bar began to drop rapidly.
Even with his golden armor set, he couldn't withstand Alan's true damage.
At the same time, Alan's health was also depleting quickly.
Each of his basic attacks caused him to lose over 4,000 health points due to reflect damage.
But Alan's Bloodthirsty Heart could only restore a little over 2,000.
Even with his recovery skill and the attributes of the Ninefold Longbow, his recovery barely exceeded 3,000.
In this situation, the over 4,000 reflect damage caused Alan to continuously lose health.
The more he attacked, the more damage he took.
Therefore, Alan wasn't the main damage dealer.
He was slacking off!
Yes.
He was slacking off.
He didn't even bother to interrupt David's attacks because his goal wasn't to kill David—he wanted David dead, but he needed Daniel dead too!
If they both died, no one in the newbie village could stop his progress.
Right now, David and Daniel were fighting intensely.
Both were the highest-level combatants in the newbie village.
But Alan could still see that, in terms of combat skills, David was far inferior to Daniel.
Daniel performed a sliding tackle, knocking David down, then grabbed David's arm and executed an over-the-shoulder throw.
After the throw, he immediately followed up with a hanging elbow strike. The series of moves were so fluid that David barely had time to react.
Both David and Daniel's health were dropping, but David's was clearly depleting faster.
After all, Daniel was the one actively attacking, while David relied mainly on his reflect damage attribute.
Alan continued to slack off on the side, observing Daniel's combat techniques.
He wanted to learn and prepare to deal with Daniel after David was killed.
However, at that moment, David began his counterattack.
His armor suddenly emitted lightning, paralyzing the nearby Daniel.
In that brief moment of paralysis, David struck Daniel's throat with the edge of his shield.
"Whirlwind Ninefold Slash!"
David's shield slashed down, and nine rapidly spinning shield shadows passed through Daniel's body.
[-2958.]
[-2958.]
[-2958.]
A series of damage numbers appeared.
Daniel tried to counterattack, but David wouldn't let this fleeting opportunity slip by.
He slammed his shield into the ground, and a light barrier appeared above Daniel's head.
"Gravity Barrier!"
Alan's eyes narrowed. Under the gravity barrier, Daniel's body sank slightly.
In that fleeting moment, David attacked again.
He slapped his shield.
"Thunderous Strike!"
From above, ten spiked shields appeared around Daniel.
These shields continuously struck Daniel, depleting his health.
Daniel's expression turned grim. The frost on his fists disappeared, replaced by flames.
Daniel punched one of the shields, the immense force shattering it, and the explosion of flames splattered over 100 feet, causing David to stagger.
Daniel's body turned into a blur, instantly appearing behind David.
"Inferno Storm!"
With a punch, David was sent flying.
Before he could land, Daniel grabbed his leg.
"Scorching Annihilation!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The scene was brutal.
Daniel swung David around by his leg in a vicious manner.
And every time, David's face hit the ground, which looked extremely painful!
