Chapter 976: 976
Chapter 976 - Sudden Kill
After using the Taboo Skill, Lethal Gale's Attributes and speed both increased by a large margin .
With the inclusion of the speed boost from Charge, everyone only saw the male Berserker leaving behind an afterimage as he crossed over a dozen yards and arrived before Gentle Snow instantly .
"Die!"
Lethal Gale shouted, a bloodthirsty glint flashing across his eyes . Without even waiting for the Fainted effect of his Charge to settle in, he raised his greatsword and used Beheaded .
Although he took less than a breath's time to complete this entire process, Gentle Snow still managed to activate a Control Removal Skill and counter the male Berserker's attack with Chop .
Boom!
Dazzling sparks flew as the clangor of metal resounded throughout the entire forest .
Unlike before, however, Lethal Gale was not sent airborne this time . Instead, he had to retreat just a single step . The impact of the collision also cost him only around 100 HP . To Lethal Gale, who had recovered back to full HP, this loss was barely a scratch .
Although his attack had failed to finish off Gentle Snow, Lethal Gale did not mind one little bit . He had long since figured out how powerful Gentle Snow's current Attributes were . This first attack of his was merely to gauge how much of a difference there remained between their Strength Attributes .
In a quick follow-up to his attack, Lethal Gale's body flashed; then he appeared beside Gentle Snow and abruptly swung his greatsword upwards, the massive weapon slashing straight at her blindspot .
As Gentle Snow was still unaccustomed to her greater Strength, the clash with Lethal Gale had thrown her stance off . Hence, her defense was full of holes right now .
Had Gentle Snow reached the Refinement Realm, even with the suddenness of the increase in Strength, she would have been able to control it skillfully . Unfortunately, that was not the case .
Lethal Gale's greatsword suddenly split into four afterimages, each one striking at one of Gentle Snow's weak points .
Caught off guard, Gentle Snow no longer had the time to adjust her stance to defend against Lethal Gale's attacks . In the end, she forcefully used Whirlwind Slash . In the next moment, a silver whirlwind suddenly formed around her . When the four afterimages of Lethal Gale's greatsword collided against the silver whirlwind, they immediately got dispelled into nothingness . Meanwhile, Lethal Gale himself had to take a step back, giving Gentle Snow a chance to catch a breather .
What a terrifying expert . After Gentle Snow retreated to a safe distance, she could not help breaking out in a cold sweat when she thought back to Lethal Gale's previous attack .
The difference between their combat standards was clear for all to see .
Despite her advantage in Strength, Lethal Gale always managed to maintain his stance after receiving her attacks . Moreover, even after his Attributes had increased significantly, he was still able to receive all her attacks without fail, as well as launch attacks from various positions . On the other hand, it was taking her all just to handle her sudden increase in Strength, which made it very difficult to maintain her stance after a direct clash .
Unlike ordinary computer games, fights in virtual reality games were no different from fights in the real world .
In many cases, an attack that one could easily block while in a proper stance would become very difficult to handle if one lost their stance . This was true even with a very normal attack .
Fights between experts were all high-speed battles . Deciding the outcome took only an instant . Losing one's stance in battle was a fatal matter .
Although Gentle Snow had repelled Lethal Gale, the latter had no intention of letting up on his attacks . He immediately charged at her once more and let loose a barrage of violent strikes .
…
In the main hall, all anyone could see between the clashes of Gentle Snow's one-handed swords and Lethal Gale's greatsword were afterimages .
"Is this a battle between true experts?"
For a time, the players in the main hall even stopped blinking, afraid that they would miss out on the moment where victory and defeat were decided .
If it were any other player going up against either of the two fighters right now, most likely, they would've already fallen numerous times to either Gentle Snow's or Lethal Gale's attacks before they could even react .
…
Inside the combat room, although Gentle Snow seemed to hold the advantage in both speed and Strength, in reality, she was actually at a disadvantage . In order to maintain her combat stance, Gentle Snow kept having to retreat . Otherwise, she would create an opening that Lethal Gale could exploit .
The seconds ticked by slowly .
