SWNOVELXO Chapter 266: Chapter 264: Against You? Ten Percent Is Enough!
ROAR—
Accompanied by a deafening dragon's roar, all the participants from Eastern Nation in Doomsday City looked up simultaneously.
Following the source of the sound, they saw a massive dark dragon, its size large enough to block out the sky, sweeping over the city and diving toward the ground.
Within the city, several Eastern Nation archers and mages standing in the attack range locked onto the Extinction Black Dragon and launched their ranged attacks.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
A torrent of attacks landed on the Extinction Black Dragon.
Typically capable of dealing 20,000–30,000 damage, their attacks now only inflicted around 10,000 damage on the dragon.
Even with a concentrated barrage of attacks, the accumulated 70,000–80,000 damage barely took down one-third of the dragon's health.
This scene left the mages and archers attacking the Extinction Black Dragon utterly stunned.
"Such high defense!"
"A tank-type pet, huh?"
"Then its damage must be pitifully low, nothing to worry about!"
The next second, the Extinction Black Dragon opened its massive jaws, and with a boom, unleashed an S-tier World-Ending Dragon Flame. The attack instantly engulfed everyone within its range.
With an "insignificant" 150,000+ AOE damage, it annihilated the top Eastern Nation mages in the area in a single blow.
By killing several enemies, the [Apocalypse] effect immediately stacked to 10 layers, granting a 150% damage boost.
Immediately afterward, the Extinction Black Dragon turned to another area and spewed its World-Ending Dragon Breath toward three Eastern Nation archers.
The wide range of the dragon breath left the archers, who lacked displacement skills, with no room or chance to evade, directly engulfing them.
The 260,000+ damage obliterated the three into white lights on the spot.
Not far away, two other Eastern Nation warriors and knights witnessed the scene and turned tail to flee in terror.
But those on the ground could never outrun something flying in the sky.
BOOM! BOOM!
Triple Kill!
Quadra Kill!
[Ding! Dragon Nation participant [Zero] achieved a massacre, killing Eastern Nation participant [Takeshi Fujio], Honor +30]
[Ding! Dragon Nation participant [Zero] is unparalleled, killing Eastern Nation participant [Itō Takuma] ten times, Honor +30]
In less than three seconds after appearing, the Extinction Black Dragon secured a ten-kill streak for its master. The flood of kill notifications instantly overshadowed Inoue Kojiro's achievements.
Both the participants in the field and the spectators outside were in shock.
All of Eastern Nation was in an uproar.
["What kind of damage is this?"]
["What grade is this pet? It's so powerful!"]
["Ten kills in three seconds???"]
In front of the livestream screens, tens of millions of Eastern Nation viewers were dumbfounded.
Back on the battlefield, the legendary samurai Inoue Kojiro raised his head to look at the Extinction Black Dragon in the air, his killing intent erupting.
"DIE!"
Wielding two massive iron hammers, Inoue Kojiro smashed the ground with force.
CRASH!
A crack extended toward the Extinction Black Dragon's position. When it reached directly below the dragon, a column of fire erupted from the crack with a boom, striking the dragon.
The 50,000+ damage knocked the Extinction Black Dragon to the ground.
As Eastern Nation's new number one powerhouse, the legendary samurai Inoue Kojiro indeed had overwhelming strength.
The massive body of the Extinction Black Dragon fell with a crash, toppling a building in the process.
Its body was shrouded in sparks and encased in a lightning net, seemingly immobilized.
Looking at the seemingly defeated Extinction Black Dragon, Inoue Kojiro smirked smugly. "So, that's all? Turns out, it's nothing special!"
In the livestream, tens of millions of Eastern Nation viewers regained their confidence through Inoue Kojiro.
["Kojiro-kun is the best! So strong, as expected of Eastern Nation's new number one!"]
["The pet is the core of a Beastmaster's strength. This should be Zero's strongest pet. If even the most powerful pet is this weak against Kojiro-kun, Zero himself must be even less of a match!"]
["Seems like the gap between Dragon Nation's number one and our Eastern Nation's number one is still huge!"]
On the battlefield, Inoue Kojiro prepared to charge forward with his hammer to deliver the finishing blow to the Extinction Black Dragon.
Suddenly, Zhang Yue teleported in front of Inoue Kojiro using an S-tier Blink skill.
"So, you're Dragon Nation's number one, Zero?"
Inoue Kojiro glanced at Zhang Yue disdainfully. "To use your own Nation's words, you're even weaker than I imagined."
"Show me your full strength, lest you die too disgracefully!"
"Against you?" Zhang Yue glanced at Inoue Kojiro and said indifferently, "Ten percent is enough."
Inoue Kojiro snorted coldly. "DIE!"
He charged toward Zhang Yue with his massive iron hammers.
Zhang Yue stood still, calm and unshaken.
When Inoue Kojiro was only ten yards away, Zhang Yue raised his staff, overflowing with magical energy.
BOOM!
A golden beam of light descended from the sky.
Overconfident in himself, and looking down on Zhang Yue as just a Beastmaster, Inoue Kojiro didn't bother to dodge. He raised his hammers to block the attack directly.
Inoue Kojiro believed that against a mere Beastmaster, dodging would be disgraceful.
He was confident in his vitality. Even if Zhang Yue's damage matched his dragon's, with 50% damage reduction from blocking, he was certain he could withstand the full force of the attack.
Moreover, no Beastmaster in the world could deal more damage than their pet.
Yet the SSS-tier unique skill Heavenless: God-Slaying Curse pierced through Inoue Kojiro's block and struck him.
-159,852!
Even with 50% damage reduction from blocking, nearly 160,000 damage instantly depleted Inoue Kojiro's proud 150,000 HP bar.
Inoue Kojiro's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Zhang Yue.
The next moment, he collapsed to his knees before Zhang Yue with a thud.
[Ding! Dragon Nation participant [Zero] killed Eastern Nation participant [Inoue Kojiro], interrupted Inoue Kojiro's [Unparalleled], and took 50% of Inoue Kojiro's Honor. Final Honor +1500]
At this moment, it was as if the entire world went silent.
All of Eastern Nation stared at the livestream in disbelief.
Their so-called "undefeated war god," Eastern Nation's number one, was instantly killed by Dragon Nation's Beastmaster, Zero.
Killed in one hit!
Instantly killed!
For ten seconds, the tens of millions of viewers in the livestream couldn't utter a single word.
Finally, the chat erupted with disbelief:
["How does a Beastmaster deal such high damage? What build is this?"]
["He's cheating! He has to be! Kojiro-kun is a legendary-class warrior with full top-tier gold gear and maxed A-tier skills. Even his highest output is capped at 80,000. How can a Beastmaster deal 150,000 damage?"]
["Get this straight, that's 150,000 after blocking 50%! Without the reduction, the normal damage is over 300,000!!"]
Even so, many viewers still clung to faith in their Kojiro-kun.
["Kojiro-kun was just careless! If he tries again, I believe Kojiro-kun will definitely defeat Zero!"]
["Right, how can a warrior lose to a Beastmaster? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"]
["Kojiro-kun, ganbatte!"]
Under the watchful eyes of all, Inoue Kojiro revived on the spot before Zhang Yue.
According to the rules, in the third phase of the competition, participants could choose to revive in a random location upon death. Alternatively, they could opt for an on-the-spot revival, at the cost of 10% of their current Honor.
Reviving in place, Inoue Kojiro's face no longer held his earlier arrogance. His gaze was now locked on Zhang Yue, blazing with determination.
"I underestimated you just now. This time, I'll use my full strength!"
"Is that so?" Zhang Yue leaned on his staff, looking at Inoue Kojiro casually. "Then I suppose I'll use... twenty percent."
